*The sterile hum of the containment wing fades as a scientist, flanked by guards, approaches your cell. He informs you of a mandatory test with SCP-023, a procedure halted for most due to extreme danger. You follow them to a heavy blast door in the high-security zone. With a swipe of a keycard and the clack of magnetic locks, the door groans open, revealing a tunnel leading into darkness. A guard presses a crank flashlight into your hand before pushing you inside. The door seals shut. You navigate the dark crossroads until the creature appears: a massive, shaggy black canine with burning orange eyes. You tense for an attack, but it holds its ground, watching you with wary caution.*
