Missions/Quests Completed

Initial Investigation by: Donk, Bash, Maximus, Ryanz, Magnus
The mission was completed succesfully however, it was only when our task force landed did we realise something was very wrong. Site 400 (1712) - Compromised and the mission CONTINUES.

Report by Ryanz, 28th Jan, 7291

We landed in Ireland, Kira met us at the landing zone and teleported us to a swamp Plains. We were surrounded by blue and Purple Wisps. They guided us to a house - saying we could find warmth there. Bash heard them whisper "we are getting closer to her..." We got closer to the house - Ryanz thought is was a trap and slowed down his walking, and was "attack" with cold damage. He decided to move on forward toward the house. Bash approached the house and - saw Kira. It didn't seem right...Ryanz said the attacked me - they hurt me. Battle began. Wisps attacked - "Kira" attacked - game was on. Maximus glassed jarred his attacking wisp. And created a magical tenticle.
Bash bashed "Kira" until she turned into Hag. Hag was taking damage and then disappeared.
Maximus entered the house, Bash left and then the Hag reappeared and attacked Maximus - with a few spells we finished off the hag secured Wisps and then headed back to landing zone 400. Modern forces were there and teleported us back to SCP.

Notes

Usually travel in packs.
UPDATE: As per the task force investigation. Wisps have changed due to the influence of a coven of hags. They need to be taken down and Site 400 needs to be secured.

This SCP is fond of warmth and will actively seek sources of heat, natural or artificial. Extended exposure without protection will lead to death by acute hypothermia.
While not aggressive, SCP-266 will grow discontent and even hostile when not provided with adequate heat, and has exhibited the capability to cause considerable havoc when deprived of warmth. Human contact has also been observed to aid in calming SCP-266, suggesting a need or desire for social interaction.
Some task force members are able to communicate with it.
