PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED FOR SECURITY REASONS. MOBILE TASK FORCE OPERATIVES OF SECURITY CLEARANCE LEVEL 4 MAY REQUEST UNREDACTED INFORMATION DIRECT FROM THE O4 COUNCIL.

Situation

At 03:00 hours on the 30th of March, all activity on the island of Taviana ceased. The abnormality of this caught the Foundation's eye, and as such they immediately began monitoring the island. For seven days nothing was observed - however, on the eighth day, a number of KA-60 helicopters were recorded landing on the island. An undetermined number of individuals disembarked from the helicopters and seemingly proceeded inland.

What happened on the island is unknown - no distress calls were sent out prior to the sudden blackout, and no abnormal activity was observed leading up to the blackout. However, Taviana is known to have strong ties with the Russian Federation and the Foundation suspects that the island is possibly being used for the storage and testing of the recently captured SCP-███ and SCP-████ by GRU Division P - this is, however, unconfirmed. In the event that the Foundations suspicions are correct, it is imperative that they be contained immediately.
Due to the potential of an anomalous event having taken place, and an unknown group of individuals moving into the area, the O4 council has called for MTF Tau-44 to immediately deploy to the region and investigate what exactly is happening on Taviana.
