Special Containment Procedures: SCP-0000's entry point has been sealed. Individuals previously aware of its existence and contents have been amnesticized and reassigned as necessary. Re-entry into SCP-0000 is prohibited.
Description: SCP-0000 is a facility located beneath a mountain in the Jotunheimen range in Norway. Prior to its sealing, SCP-0000 was solely accessible via a metal hatch located within a small installation on the summit of the mountain. A plaque affixed to its exterior read "Containment Status: Pending."

The interior of SCP-0000 consists of an office space and living amenities. Initial inspection revealed nothing of note except several piles of burnt paper, a partially-intact photograph1, and a single cigarette butt found near the entry hatch. A lift system at the rear of the entryway provides access to the remainder of the facility.
When taken below the entryway, the lift will descend down the center of a large space with seven walls, roughly a 0.5 kilometers in height. Inset into each wall is a chamber cordoned off by door extending the height of the room. These doors are composed of a frosted, glassy substance, and appear to be sealed by a wide variety of installations, including conventional locking mechanisms, minor thaumaturgical channels, and additional apparatuses of unknown composition. Each chamber bears an indicating symbol.
Contained within each chamber is a subject of uncertain composition. Attempts to directly view the interiors have failed, though indirect observations have been made. These are as follows.
Chamber Jeran
Symbol:
Observations: The silhouette of a thin humanoid entity with wildly exaggerated proportions is partially visible through the glass, exceeding the total height of room in size. It has been noted to remain motionless at most times, rarely tapping on the glass.
Chamber Odal
Symbol:
Observations: A small crack is present in the lower right corner of the glass, through which a bright light is constantly emitted. Personnel exposed to this light report drastically increased dopamine levels, dizziness, and an aversion to sunlight persisting up to several hours following exposure.
Chamber Kaunan
Symbol:
Observations: Chamber contains a highly active swarm of small organisms, comprised of millions of individuals. Personnel in close proximity to the chamber report persistent feelings of dread.
Chamber Thurisaz
Symbol:
Observations: Chamber contains an entity of uncertain composition. Entity will occasionally strike the glass pane, then slowly retreat further into the chamber. A sloshing sound is sometimes be heard from within.
Chamber Mannaz
Symbol:
Observations: No silhouettes have been observed, though sounds of human-like sobbing and laughter can be heard from within.
Chamber Peorth
Symbol:
Observations: Glass appears to have been partially distorted by the presence of an extreme heat source present within. Personnel in close proximity to the chamber report hearing quiet music playing behind the glass, though acoustic technology has been unable to detect such sounds.
Chamber Algiz
Symbol:
Observations: The chamber door is slightly open, allowing access to its interior. The room is pure white and well-lit, with a large circular depression in the floor surrounded by a ring of blue roses. In the center of the depression is a pedestal with a single piece of paper placed on it that reads:
I hope you know that I am truly sorry, but we both know that desperate times such as these call for even more desperate measures. I'll try to get this back here as soon as I can, but I honestly can't say that'll be any time soon.[[/span]]
I have faith that you'll be able to manage until then.[[/span]]
Good luck.[[/span]]
