SCP-1562 is a metal playground slide that exhibits anomalous properties when a person slides down head-first on their stomach with their arms tucked in. The slide was discovered after a man named Dale Larson went missing while using it. When Officer Kilgore slid down the slide face-first, he vanished, and the Foundation was alerted.
Researchers attempted to retrieve missing individuals by sending in D-Class personnel with communication devices. However, the ropes used to tether them were severed when they vanished, making it impossible to pull them back out.
The D-Class personnel reported being in a small, dark tunnel with no way to move forward or backward. They eventually found each other but were unable to escape. One of the D-Class personnel, D-8600, attempted to inch his way backward but lost contact with the researchers.
Testing was suspended due to the high risk of losing more personnel, and the slide was quarantined in a testing lab. The researchers are left with many unanswered questions about the slide's properties and how to retrieve the missing individuals.
Here are the facts extracted from the text:
1. Dale Larson was reported missing by his friend Henry Burch.
2. Dale vanished while going down a playground slide.
3. Officer Kilgore went down the slide face-first and discovered the anomaly.
4. Dr. Darrett and MTF were the first to investigate the scene.
5. The anomaly is a metal playground slide measuring 2.2 meters high and 3.4 meters long.
6. The slide's anomalous effects only manifest when a person slides down head-first on their stomach with their arms tucked down at their sides.
7. Only human beings are affected by the anomaly.
8. When a person slides down the slide in the specified manner, they will disappear instantly and completely at approximately 15 centimeters before the end of the slide.
9. No one who has disappeared while using the slide in this way has been recovered.
10. D-2445 was sent down the slide to test the anomaly.
11. D-2445's radio communication was severed when he disappeared.
12. D-8600 was sent down the slide with a two-way radio earpiece, video and audio recording equipment, a GPS tracker, and a headlamp.
13. D-8600's rope was severed when he vanished, and his GPS tracker signal could not be traced.
14. D-8600 was able to communicate with researchers through his radio earpiece.
15. D-8600 encountered D-2445 in the anomaly, but D-2445 was not responsive and was repeating his previous conversation.
16. D-8600 attempted to pull D-2445 out, but the rope was severed.
17. D-8600's connection to the researchers was lost, and it is believed he may have backed into another portal.
18. Testing of the anomaly was suspended, and SCP-1562 was quarantined in testing lab 46v in site-24.
19. The door to the lab is to remain locked at all times, and all access is denied unless special clearance is granted by Dr. Carver.
