     Standard procedure is that I have to tell you what to do next if this doesn't work. That's the asynchronous research covenant.

     But I don't have a good picture of who you can even be, reading this and alive. In your scenario there is no machine, Hughes is missing, I'm dead, the Site is ruined, and how'd you even get in here? Can you be Foundation? Are you conscious? Is there a single word of this which you comprehend?

     You live in a world bathed with SCP-3125. That's the loss condition.

     I can't help someone who doesn't exist.
