Foreword: D-11424 was provided with an insulated wetsuit, a knife, flashlights, and 90 minutes of air supply.

Dr. Arceo: Everything looks good. Ready?
D-11424: I did say I always wanted to be a diver.
Dr. Arceo: Remember to call out anything and everything you see here.
D-11424: Then why am I carrying a camera?
Dr. Arceo: To check for perceptual anomalies.
D-11424: Right, right. OK. Do I just swim through now?
Dr. Arceo: Yes. Proceed whenever you're ready.
D-11424: Going in. D-11424 swims through SCP-3536's boundary and disappears from view.
Dr. Arceo: D-11424. Can you still hear me?
D-11424: Loud and clear, doctor.
Dr. Arceo: Excellent. What do you see?
D-11424: I'm still in the ocean. But this is weird, there's a shimmering mesh all over the place, fading in and out. The holes in the mesh are too tiny to move through. (No obstructions are visible on the camera feed.)
Dr. Arceo: Can you see your entry point?
D-11424: Not sure yet. It's dark, even with my floodlight. (D-11424 turns around.) There. There's a big gap in the threads, I can see the boat through it.
Dr. Arceo: Excellent. Describe your surroundings.
D-11424: Still in an ocean. I can swim through here way easier, though. [pause] There's another gap in the threads up ahead, big enough to swim through. Should I proceed towards it?
Dr. Arceo: Go ahead.
D-11424: Alright- whoa! (An unidentified creature swims past the camera.)
Dr. Arceo: What was that?
D-11424: Some kind of turtle, I think. Came out of nowhere and swam right past me.
Dr. Arceo: Follow it in.
D-11424: Moving too fast. And… I lost it. Weird thing, it looked like it was being dragged in. It was facing away from the tear.
Dr. Arceo: We'll review the footage later. Continue as before.
D-11424: Alright. Sorry.
Dr. Arceo: Just continue.
D-11424: OK, now it looks like I'm swimming in a swamp. My light can barely light up a meter in front of me. The weave is tighter here, if that means anything. I can still see a gap up ahead, moving towards it. Eugh, that's the weirdest frog I've ever seen. (Camera pans to show a variety of eight-legged frogs, caught in a net.) Wait shit, I'm trapped! (Camera obscured by frogs, sounds of struggling are heard from D-11424.)
Dr. Arceo: Situation?
D-11424: When I popped in here, I came in inside the net, with the frogs. I cut myself out, though. Proceeding towards next gap.
Dr. Arceo: Excellent work. Your camera feed is starting to get choppy. Can you still hear me clearly?
D-11424: Yeah, loud and clear.
Dr. Arceo: Notify us when you have reached the next iteration.
D-11424: Just did, doctor. This water is the lightest yet. I'm at the seafloor, or at least what passes for one. Looks like ice, but it's crumbly.
Dr. Arceo: Any life forms or movement?
D-11424: There's some things off in the distance, near the gap. I'll have to pass by them to move on.
Dr. Arceo: Be careful.
D-11424: Well, duh.
(D-11424 swims towards the objects. They are bipedal creatures, with superficial similarities to walruses, including blubbery brown skin and tusks. The creatures appear to be wearing traditional Viking dress and are laying out various fish-like creatures in neat rows.)
D-11424: Weird. They don't seem to be able to see or hear me. Moving on.
(D-11424 continues to swim.)
D-11424: OK, we're at the fourth gap?
Dr. Arceo: According to your statements, yes. What is this environment like?
D-11424: The water, if you can even call it that, is red. It's also much colder.
Dr. Arceo: Blood?
D-11424: Hell if I know. I think- huh. I'm in a tunnel now.
Dr. Arceo: Well-
D-11424: Shit.
Dr. Arceo: What is it?
D-11424: (D-11424 turns around.) The hell is that?! (A large creature, resembling a bony fish, swims toward D-11424.)
Dr. Arceo: Get out of there, now!
D-11424: Oof. (Sound of D-11424 apparently falling.)
Dr. Arceo: Status.
D-11424: I'm in the next level, at least I think. That freaky fish is gone. So is the water; I swam through the hole and fell on my face.
Dr. Arceo: Describe your surroundings. The video feed is suffering heavy distortion.
D-11424: I'll try, but this is trippy. It looks like I'm in two places at once. I'm in an empty icy field, but I'm also in an alleyway. They're almost like, overlaid or something. Also, the mesh is crazy tangled here.
Dr. Arceo: Copy that, 11424.
D-11424: I see my last entry point. Should I continue or head back?
Dr. Arceo: Keep going. But leave your SCUBA equipment on.
D-11424: You got it.
Dr. Arceo: Call out anything notable, remember.
D-11424: Right. Well, there's people walking around in the city. They seem human, at least from afar.
Dr. Arceo: Do you see anything from the other environment?
D-11424: Just wind and snow. The snow is glowing orange, though.
Dr. Arceo: Right. Try to avoid being spotted by the indigenous population.
D-11424: Well, I don't think any of them can actually see me, just like with the walruses. One looked straight down this alleyway and then went about their business.
Dr. Arceo: Alright. Attempt to reach the next transit point.
D-11424: I'll do my best- uh-oh.
Dr. Arceo: Situation?
D-11424: There's a big red hog, I think, sniffing towards me. It's on a leash. The owner can't see me, though.
Unidentified Voice: Dammit, hog, there's no truffles here! I'm in debt up to my eyeballs so you better find some, and fast!
D-11424: (whispering) I think the hog smells me, but it can't see me.
Dr. Arceo: Excellent.
D-11424: OK, I'm leaving the alleyway; it looks pretty much like a big city here. The threads are a little more ordered now, and I still don't see anything in the Arctic place. Now- (Loud shaking sounds.)
Dr. Arceo: What was that?
D-11424: The entire city is moving! No, not moving! More like, rearranging. Holy shit!
Dr. Arceo: What?
D-11424: Those buildings sprouted little mechanical legs and started walking!
Dr. Arceo: Have you found your next access point?
D-11424: I think so. I'm following the Arctic threads until the city stops moving.
Dr. Arceo: Notify us of any other developments.
D-11424: OK, I think I'm almost there. I'm starting to see more of the Arctic and less of the weird city. (A loud thud is heard.)
Dr. Arceo: What was that?
D-11424: I walked smack into a wall. Just cause I can't see the city doesn't mean it's not there, I guess. I don't think anyone saw me, though. There's a sign here. "Lugwardia Citadel". Does that mean anything to you guys?
Dr. Arceo: (A pause.) No. We'll make a note of it, regardless.
D-11424: Cool. OK, I see the hole. Going in.
(80 seconds of static.)
Dr. Arceo: D-11424? Respond!
D-11424: Shhh. I made it through. I can't see the threads anymore. I don't know where I am, there's like, four or five places overlaid.
Dr. Arceo: Can you describe it?
D-11424: I'll try. I see a dark sky, with only one big star, and the ground looks like concrete. I see a desert, with an oasis in the distance, and a giant moon blocking the sun. There's a storm going on in one of the layers, but I don't feel the rain. I see a flat surface, kind of like an altar. There's something moving on top of it.
Dr. Arceo: Can you-
D-11424: I can't move. I can't move!
Dr. Arceo: Remain calm. What can you see?
D-11424: Everything is dark. I can't see anything. Wait, no. I feel the storm still. The altar is there.
Dr. Arceo: Alright, try to find a way out.
D-11424: The thing on the altar is moving again. I can't make out what it is, but it's glowing. It tastes like warmth.
(Camera feed reestablishes for 2 seconds; a large metal knife is visible briefly.)
D-11424: I can't feel it anymore. It's in pieces. Whatever was on the altar is cut up, and pieces of it are moving towards piles od, uh, dark stuff.
(A low rumbling is heard.)
D-11424: It- it sees me. I feel it grabbing onto me.
Dr. Arceo: D-11424, try-
(Radio connection ceases completely for 20 seconds.)
D-11424: It cut something out of me. I'm not hurt, but I feel like- like some part of me is missing. (Pause.) It's picking me up again.
(A loud splash is heard. Camera feed reestablished clearly; D-11424 is ejected from SCP-3536.)
D-11424: Am I back?
Dr. Arceo: Yes.
D-11424: Oh, thank God.
