The following is a log of items on [[[SCP-2117]]] either retrieved or documented by MTF-Omega-2. Anomalous technology (weapons systems and fuel sources) as well as non-technological anomalies (such as literature or food of extra-universal origin) are classified as SCP-2117-A instances. Instances are classified arbitrarily as opposed to sequentially.

**Instance #:** SCP-2117-A-03-0192
**Classification:** Thermal Exchange System
**Primary Language:** Sanskrit 
**Technical Contents**: Four 1. 5 km by 2.5 km retractable radiator panels connected to a system of pipes filled with liquid sodium. Pipes connect to heat sinks fitted (in most cases retro-fitted) to approximately 60% of //Solidarity//'s systems.
**Notes:** In the event of damage to this system molten sodium is likely to be released into nearby compartments. Heat producing systems not currently connected should be evaluated and connected if deemed necessary.

**Instance #:** 52-2312
**Classification:** Latrine
**Primary Language:** Papiamento, Classical Nahuatl and Marshallese
**Technical Contents:** Series of 36 watertight cubic booths, each with a door and containing various equipment. Four booths (numbered 6-9) contain standard Western-style commodes, two booths (numbered 28 and 29) contain squat-style floor toilets. Booths 33-36 have been combined into a single booth containing one oversized Western-style commode two meters in height. The other booths generally contain unrecognizable or unfamiliar equipment such as an apparatus resembling a treadmill, a live tree, a series of hoses and spigots which release a pungent thixotropic slime, a series of showerheads that release heated sulfuric acid, and a cylinder to which there are attached several lengths of artificial musculature resembling tongues.
**Local Inscriptions:**

> * (above the doors of particular booths) "Demi-Male," "Demi-Female" and "Demi-Neuter"
> 
> * (inside a booth) "Here I sit, broken-hearted" (rest is illegible)

**Instance #:** 58-8718
**Classification:** Unknown (possibly rations preparation?)
**Primary Language:** Khwarezmian and Quapaw (transcribed into Devanagari writing system)
**Technical Contents:** Large, rectangular open room with floor area in excess of 6 square kilometers but ceiling height of only 1.1 meters. Lighting apparatus in ceiling appears to simulate a night sky including several nearby but dim stars. Floor is covered with an irregular soil surface with several shallow puddles of water connected by natural-appearing waterways. Much of the soil surface is covered with moss-like plant life. Room is serviced by sophisticated climate control system capable of simulating rainfall, snow and other forms of weather, all on a miniaturized scale. Room contains an ecosystem of small animals, including large herds of mouse-sized ungulates and ant-sized pack predators. Life forms in room have been determined to be harmless to humans.
**Local Inscriptions:**

**Instance #:** 06-0233
**Classification:** Rations preparation
**Primary Language:** Yiddish, transcribed into Duployan shorthand (archaic shorthand formerly used to transcribe French)
**Technical Contents:** Hydroponic mushroom-growing facility. Facility is a zero-gravity cylinder, 6 meters in diameter and 18 meters in length which rotates to simulate gravity (acceleration of 10.2 m/s2 at internal surface). Facility contains a number of trays containing unremarkable soil, //Agaricus bisporus// (unremarkable, human-edible common white mushrooms), and an irrigation system.
**Notes:** System appears to be operational. Members of OTF 2117-Ω have harvested and consumed mushrooms to supplement their rations during expeditions to SCP-2117 without adverse result.
**Local Inscriptions:**

> * "Mortuary. Please behave decorously."
> 
> * "Fungus is dangerous. Do not mate with them."
> 
> * "136.1 Hz"
> 
> * "Please take care of these, our youngest generation."

**Classification:** Weapons platform manufactory, hangar, and catapult 
**Primary Language:** English, Japanese, Russian, unknown language written in Cyrillic script
**Technical Contents:** Massive zero-g hangar containing large, humanoid weapons platforms measuring 18-20 meters in height. Armor composed of unknown superalloy containing Helium-3. Two exterior catapults on either side of hangar are presumably used for launching platforms into open space. Large blast door located at rear of hangar; leads to sub-hangar presumably used for constructing new units. 
**Notes:** Platforms capable of flight and complex motor functions. Controls easily operable by human.
**Local Inscriptions:**  

> * "Okay, who the hell thought giant robots were a good idea?"
> 
> * "These things are weird, but pretty powerful."

**Instance #:** SCP-2117-A-3710
**Classification:** Re-Entry Vehicles
**Primary Language:** Modern English
**Technical Contents:** Several large constructs designed for atmospheric re-entry. Constructs appear to be designed to be piloted by baseline humans. Constructs are similar to space shuttles in function, but with a significantly greater cargo capacity. Constructs incorporate a large amount of organic material into their construction.
**Notes:** Three instances were recovered from a single airlock/hangar seemingly designed to hold several dozen such vehicles. No other instances have been discovered.
**Local Inscriptions:**

> * "Type 04 Von Braun Landing Craft"
> 
> * "The Engineers can have their burned and rotten world. We shall take the stars."
> 
> * "These craft are built in honor of the men and women who were left behind. No matter how long it takes, we will return."

**Instance #:** 08-3335
**Classification:** Observatory
**Primary Language:** A single bright light emanates from the doorway that momentarily blinds any user who enters the room & is noted to cause nosebleeds & mild headaches. Anecdotal descriptions frequently describe seeing many nondescript or abstract images within the few moments of lingering light. Secondary languages include a unique binary-like code generated by color-coded LEDs & baseline Russian interspersed randomly with Middle English.
**Technical Contents:** None. The room itself is a large, empty, spherical chamber on the outer side of SCP-2722 devoid of gravity with roughly 5 cm thick walls of a transparent solid similar to glass but seemingly impervious to damage or obscuring of any kind, including painting over (paint "evaporates" on contact) & bullet holes (round ricochets wildly until stopped).
**Notes:** The room is oriented such that it never faces the planet SCP-2722 currently orbits, and only the surrounding cosmos is visible.
**Local Inscriptions:**

> * (Message received before entering room) "We Have Ascended. We Have Seen The Stars. It Is All So… Beautiful."
> 
> * (Received immediately after above) "We have Dedicated This Room To The Ascension Of Others"
> 
> * "This doesn't seem safe. I understand stargazing & all, but do we really need this?"
> 
> * "We tried shooting through it. Bad idea."
