Humanoid entities identical in appearance to IKEA staff (yellow shirt, blue trousers). Their faces are featureless blank flesh. They exhibit no speech but emit mechanical breathing sounds. SCP-3008-1 instances are universally hostile between 8:30 PM and 8:30 AM local time (the “night cycle”). During this period, they actively hunt any human presence. During the “day cycle,” they stand motionless near service areas.

During spectral analysis of Log #447, at 00:03:21 (timestamp of D-9982’s final transmission), a faint, low-frequency vocalization was detected beneath the pneumatic hisses. Isolated and amplified, it approximates human speech in reverse. Reversed, it says:

LOCATION: Sector 7 – “Marketplace” (Kitchen displays) STATUS: Night cycle – H. +14 minutes SUBJECTS: D-9982 (Leader), D-9984 (Scout), D-9987 (Log keeper) [AUDIO LOG BEGINS – HEAVY BREATHING]

Back. Up the shelves. Ladders. Move.

One. No. Two. No, Mark – the aisles below. There’s eight. Ten. They’re all looking up.

Whisper How many?
