[BEGIN LOG]

Site-53 was originally constructed as a provisional anomaly storage Site on September 12, 2011 due to a Chaos Insurgency raid on multiple other Sites, deeming them unfit to hold anomalies.

Site-53 was originally designed to hold only SCP-173 - being designated as Site-173-53, but after multiple other Sites in the region were destroyed by further Chaos Insurgency strike teams, it was quickly fitted with further holding cells to contain low-risk inanimate Safe-class objects, and zones on October 2, 2011.

The Site has collected numerous other SCP objects since then, with research programs and extra funding. It has been in operation for 54 years since 2011, and is several decades further in technology than the general public.

Numerous other Sites were constructed in 2011, one being Provisional Containment Site-049-22, originally intended to hold SCP-049 until it could be transported to a different Site for permanent containment.

However, on October 19, 2011, a Chaos Insurgency team raided and successfully terminated all 10 security agents stationed within the outer perimeter before they could be reported, presumably by use of snipers.

They proceeded to breach the site’s once-thought to be extremely secure external airlock systems with three X4 charges placed to the electronic locks and corners of the door, terminating the 2 security agents stationed on the inside.

From there, they proceeded to wander, terminating 3 security agents, incinerating all personnel inside the Medical Wing with an unknown incendiary device and terminating the only Janitor stationed on Site 049-22 until they found a site layout map pinned onto the wall for the provisional staff assigned to Site-049-22.

They made their way into the Containment Wing, then to SCP-049’s containment cell. From there, they had unlocked the containment chamber and fled, allowing SCP-049 to leave and reanimate all 15 security agents - the outer perimeter guards, the ones patrolling the halls, and the ones guarding the inside of the entrance - as active instances of SCP-049-2.

The automatic breach systems for the doors and 049’s chamber locks had activated, and an automatic Code Black was called.

Mobile Task Force Epsilon-11 “Nine-Tailed Fox” responded to the lockdown by entering the Site, terminating all SCP-049-2 instances, and swiftly capturing SCP-049 and relocating it to Site-53 as a temporary measure.

SCP-049 had an improvised containment chamber, located in the Light Containment Zone.

On October 23, Site-53’s Site Director was offered by the SCP Foundation Scientific Department director to assign Site-53 a more permanent role as a containment/storage/research Site, along with the required equipment, funding, and SCP objects being provided.

The Site Director agreed, requesting a moderately-sized security team and some extra funding from the O5 Council.

The O5 Council accepted the request, and construction on the rest of the site began on February 2, 2011.

Site-049-22 was scrapped and Site-53 became the primary Site in the region. All other Sites in the region were decommissioned, scrapped, and their workforce was moved to Site-53.

Site-53 operated for 43 years with minimal increases to funding - only where especially needed - until June 23 of 2065, where a large portion of high-value objects, staff, and SCPs from Site-19 were transported to Site-53. Site-53 has since become the largest Site in operation, taking Site-19’s place.
