Preamble: MTF-Eta-33 was deployed by a combat search and rescue helicopter. Cast iron and steel roofing are partially collapsed, leaving a large breach above the warehouse.
<Begin Log, 9:47 PM>
«9:47:» η-1 and η-3 hold position outside the front entrance. η-2 operates a drone over the exposed opening.
«9:50:» Drone feed captures a dimly lit interior with 25 docile cows inside compact rooms, guarded behind slide-doors. The cows are fitted with metallic portholes on their left flank and udders.
«9:52:» Drone feed captures manure and hay compositions surrounding a hole directly underneath the roof's breach. Drone feed concentrates on gelatinous, purple tubing networks leading into the hole and between compact cow stalls. The drone's audio receivers detect noise leaking through seams in the wall.
«9:57:» Drone feed captures generic farming utilities, fertilizer, and seed bags.
«9:58:» Small outlines move within bushes nearby η-1's camera. η-1 shines her flashlight near the location of movement. After a moment, η-1 states, "Negative sighting, remain alert."
«9:58:» η-1 gestures an "all-clear" signal. η-2 nods to η-3. η-3 installs a breach charge at the facility's front doors. The three pile behind a breaching blanket.
«9:59:» The charge detonates. η-3 enters the facility, followed by η-2 and η-1.
«10:01:» The team proceeds through a tight windowless vestibule into a wide foyer. No persons are present within, and the interior lacks light sources. Team members activate night-vision.
«10:04:» The unit makes a thorough sweep of the area before turning left two-thirds of the way down. They encounter a door, ajar, to an open office space. The office displays hundreds of laminated posters, each sporting motivational messages overlayed onto stock images of persons consuming dairy products.
«10:06:» η-1 discovers milk leaking from the ceiling. Drone feed captures undulating movement from no discernable source. η-2 claims, "It's coming from everywhere."
«10:07:» η-1 takes a milk sample, enclosing it in a rally bag. The milk emits a faint green bioluminescence.
«10:08:» η-3 leads the team into an antechamber at the back of the office, claiming [he] "smells a sulfuric scent." η-1 activates electro-photonic sensors, revealing aetheric radiation leaking from an adjacent chamber.
«10:09:» η-3 pushes into the next antechamber, which is filled with curdled milk. η-3 opens a metal door, drawing his carbine. A cow comes into view, mooing. Aetheric emission flows from its posterior, consistent with bovine flatulence.
«10:11:» The team returns to the foyer, traveling east through winding halls.
«10:15:» A tremor shakes the facility, followed by a long bovine vocalization. η-1's milk sample vibrates, growing ten times in volume. She abandons the sample.
«10:18:» η-3 reports a 3 m wide teat intersecting through support columns. The teat leaks a faint green milk.
«10:19:» η-1 makes incisions into the teat, revealing more flesh within. The flesh gurgles, pushing through the incision, consuming the cutting implement. Cutting operation is abandoned.
«10:20:» Drone footage shows cows either fleeing or charging toward something.
«10:23:» η-3 heaves open frosted double doors into a massive chamber ~20 m in height. A writhing light brown Udder of indeterminable width fills the chamber, producing hundreds of large teats, stretching and collapsing. Sleeping persons, presumably employees, levitate mid-air in groups of three around smaller teats. Cream cheese flows in bulk from their craniums down into a giant subterranean tank below.
«10:24:» η-2's drone captures footage of a cow falling from an upper walkway, yelping. A second prior to hitting the ground, the Udder trembles. The cow hits the ground, melting into a milky liquid, some of which moves toward the room's center.
«10:25:» More cows follow until all 25 have fallen. Splashes fill the chamber, spraying MTF members.
«10:27:» A floating pink udder (a SCP-3739-1-B instance, or "Mammary Mother") approaches the trio. η-1 recoils, clutching her temples — she receives a telepathic payload. η-1 asks, "What do you want?" The instance undulates, laughing. η-3 aims then fires his carbine. The instance fails to take damage, in due part to its apparent metaphysical nature.
«10:28:» η-1 nods at η-3, who nods back, then stands at guard in front of her. η-2 does the same. η-1 unpacks her tool kit. She burns incense and reads a selection from her personal dream journal.
«10:29:» The instance sports multiple arms, unfolding from within each other and into view. The udder grows an attractive, plump face, shooting milk from its mouth. It says, "Your mother wants you to finish your milk" with a giggle and piercing shriek.
«10:30:» η-2 trains the drone on a fleshy off-color sack near the middle of the Udder's anterior face. η-3 levels his carbine, waiting to fire.
«10:31:» η-2 says, "I'm lactose intolerant" and curses the instance with reductionist profanities. The drone detects natural chemosignals emitting from the instance. 15 "Child Curdles" separate from the main Udder, bombarding η-2 with runny cream cheese. Some Children siphon liquids directly from the Mother. They scream: "Eat it! Drink it!". η-2 refuses to comply.
«10:32:» η-1 strikes a match, burning her thumb tip. She thumbs her tactical sigil, then downs the milk-honey. Her body goes limp. An astral body sprouts up from her physical body's chest and flips toward the Mother, grabbing at teats and pulling.
«10:33:» η-2 is fully covered in cream cheese but refuses to consume it. The Children drag him to the Udder, forcing a leaking teat into his mouth. He has no choice but to comply.
«10:32:» η-1 combats the Mother. Both scream, trading blows. η-3 walks to the Udder, aims, and fires at the exposed fleshy protrusion. He yells, "You're not real." The flesh goes erect and sprays milk at him. He consumes the milk at will, downing litres without apparent stress.
«10:34:» η-1 spirals and pirouettes through the air, faster than the Mother. It squeezes green milk at her. She grabs a teat and stretches it with ease. The Mother screams in shock, deflates, then falls to the floor. A palpable wet smack echoes throughout the room: it becomes tangible, leaking the rest of its fluids.
«10:35:» η-2 is no longer visible. The large Udder shakes and spills milk into the vast room. η-1's astral body reconnects with her physical body. She ditches the astral projection kit. η-1 and η-3 escape.
<End Log, 10:35 PM>
Extraction: Post-log footage taken from η-2's drone records η-2 screaming in distress. This occurs for roughly 30 minutes as the warehouse fills with milk.
Near the end of the footage, η-2 emerges naked and is marked with a disembodied cattle branding prosthesis. He shudders, mooing. The prosthesis spots the drone, extends, and emits electricity from a cattle prod, frying it. The footage ends.
