2018/04/11 22:50 Personnel request several items (listed in Document 3597-17). D-28104 is administered Class-I amnestics and sent into the building with the requested supplies. Apparently making use of said materials, D-11560 reports that preliminary containment had been achieved.

The building was condemned by agents within the NYC Department of Buildings and was rebuilt as Provisional Site-597. During this process a standard humanoid containment chamber was built around the former kitchen area. The site was then acquired by Foundation front company Sunny Childcare and Preschool. The special containment procedures were formalized, and Dr. Archibald declared SCP-3597 contained.

Afterwords, all personnel not inside the containment chamber were amnesticized and transferred to different projects. Guards with no knowledge of SCP-3597 except for its containment procedures were stationed within Provisional Site-597. To date there have been no breaches.
