Background

SCP-087 is an unlit platform staircase located on a [REDACTED] campus. It has been explored by about four people with them never being able to find a bottom to it. All of them have had a similar series of events, where they hear the crying of a child, try to go to the source of the crying with it never changing in volume, and then they meet SCP-087-1 causing them to scream and panic, running back up the staircase.

Powers and Techniques

Large Size (Unknown Type; Any attempt to go to the source of the sound has failed and it's noted that the depth of descent is shown to be far beyond both the possible structure of the building and geological surroundings, with it being unknown if SCP-087 has an endpoint), Absorption (Passive; SCP-087 absorbs excess light that are brighter then 75 watts), Sound Manipulation (Sounds of a young kid crying for help can be heard in the stairwell, and the sound stays the same consistent volume no matter how far down the stairwell one goes. Even after a subject going down 1.8 kilometers below the ground level the volume has not changed from the sound of the child)

Stealth Mastery (SCP-087-1 was following behind D-9884 the entire time she was going down the flight of stairs), Extrasensory Perception (Is able to make direct eye contact with the person viewing the video feed), Fear Manipulation (Subjects that encounter SCP-087-1 exhibit feelings of intense paranoia and fear, though it is unclear whether said feelings are abnormal or simply natural reactions. Caused D-8432 to run up the stairs and collapse from the result of rapid ascension of the stairs, causing fatigue. Caused D-9035 to yell incomprehensibly from seeing it, which had him run up all the stairs and enter a catatonic state which he has not yet recovered from)
