Welcome to Site-ZH-44
Foundation's Frontline of Eastern Taiwan.
Cities collapse, Machines decay
Yet the Zephyr, Terra and Sun will never fade away
Ini a pasiwalian, wawaaw
O maan ko sakakacaway iso hokiya?
The Foundation has contained over 10,000 anomalies; only half of them are discovered in human settlements.
You climbed out of bed, walked to the washstand, and washed away the numbness with cool spring water. Dehumidification and ventilation have been done quite well, but you just couldn't adapt to life in the underground bunker. Desire for fresh outdoor air, you opened the room's door, stepping into the vertical elevator in the end of corridor. The elevator soon brought you to the floor closest to the sun.
6:30 in the morning, the sun was about to rise above the clouds at the horizon of Pacific; the sparkling sea water today was not the most sapphire one you've seen. Screaming sounds of raccoons, the serpent, and a pterodactyl emerged behind you. You were totally aware that the sounds were not originated from the mountains, but you still turned around, with a verdant green bursting into your eyes.
The singing of ancient rituals rose like smoke from the village at the mountain base, resonating with the Ancient boulder contained in a glass dome. Though the containment procedure recommended you to put on earmuffs, but you did so merely to stop the thunderous noise from the landing helicopter. Three figures in white robes got out of the helicopter, stepping onto the natural stone steps leading all the way to the site entrance.
You took a deep breath, accepting a trace of benevolence from Mother Nature.
Suddenly, the alarms sounded in your ears; the helicopter then departed and flew towards the northeastern sea. You then saw an outlandishly huge tide far away from the coast: A hundred of whales flying over the water on the top of the tsunami. It should be another ancient deity you've never heard before coming to avenge the Children of the Austronesia. You scrambled to your feet and retreated into the bunker, later logging into the innermost database, aiming to figure out what had happened millennium ago.
The sun rose from the East. As usual.

Eastern Taiwan, a boundary of civilization and wildness lasting for 160 km. Here, networks and cameras no longer help, only rumors and trials of wild come into play. It is our destiny to overwatch this beautiful land with dangers lurking beneath, for the place being the homeland to 500,000 souls.
Welcome to Site-ZH-44, the Eastern frontline of the Foundation.
Today is the first day you learn how to breathe.
This facility is located within the Coastal Mountains of eastern Taiwan, pretending to be a military base of Taiwan government. Only 10% of facility is above the ground (not including the Area-ZH-44). This facility is also equipped with top-tier researching resource of the Foundation, and is primarily in charge of containment missions of Eastern Taiwan.
Site-ZH-44：Security Facility
The main part of facility. Foundation failed to trace back its original time of building, but it is suspected to be a remnant of a facility from the previous iteration of Foundation; plenty of advanced technologies and equipment are discovered in the facility as well. Due to [CONFIDENTIAL CONTENT REDACTED] of last iteration, the facility eventually settled down in the Coastal Mountains, forming a temporary spatio-temporal anomaly. It is currently unknown how the facility chelated with its surrounding environments, but most of these boundaries are no longer anomalously active now.
In summary, Site-ZH-44 is a massive underground bunker located in a mountain in eastern Taiwan; only Unit-A and -B are above the surface of land after one time of sequential expansion.
Unit-A: Security Command
Second floor above the ground. There is an apron at the top, where two helicopters can be parked. This unit is a 360-degree observation deck that can monitor all activities within 2 km radius of the facility. From outside, the observation deck would be easily viewed as merely a massive mountain boulder. Stone steps on one side of the apron lead to the entrance on the first floor. There is also a large garage in this unit, which can park essential vehicles for mobile tasks.
Unit-B: Living Room and Dormitory
First floor and Level 1 Basement. Indoor region includes dormitory for Foundation employees, living room, entertainment room, medical sector, site cafeteria and a "Avai" vending machine. The outdoor area has a balcony with eastward view; a U-shaped bar counter connects the indoor and outdoor regions.
Unit-C: Administrative Center
Level 2 and Level 3 Basement. Mainly consists of offices for all on-site staff and meeting rooms. It is also in charge of storage of essential resources.
Unit-D: D-class Garrison
Level 4 Basement. This level is usually isolated and can only be entered under authorization and escort of security personnel. The interior here is relatively old, equipped with chambers for interrogation and confinement. Should any security event occur in the facility, gaseous anaesthetics will be released immediately within the floor.
Unit-E: Research and Experiment Sections
Level 5 to Level 7 Basement. This part of facility contains a variety of laboratories and experiment areas. All floors are guarded by security personnel. The number of these units and the systems are considerable, hence the details are omitted here.
Unit-F: Containment Chambers
Level 8 and Level 9 Basement, respectively in charge of containment of non-living objects and items of living organism. SCP-ZH-922's containment chamber is located in Level 9 and should be guarded in a specialized manner.
Unit-G: Core Engine Room and ???
Level 10 Basement and below. The 3E Command clearly forbids unnecessary personnel to enter this area, and only designated mechanical staff has sufficient clearance to enter this unit. Rumor has it that Security Director of Site will at least enter this area once, yet the rumor cannot be confirmed. The obscure condition of this area renders energy supply system of Site-ZH-44 a prominent mystery.
Area-ZH-44：Containment Center
On-surface containment area that is newly established. It is set up to prevent severe loss of Foundation assets when in-site containment breaches happen. This daughter facility covers an area of [CONFIDENTIAL CONTENT REDACTED] with a central sentry station to monitor the Area. Should any escape event happen, the power grid will be activated immediately, followed with security forces performing containment work.
Sector-T
A semi-outdoor Containment Zone of SCP-ZH-036 entities, accompanied with an Experimental Tea Farming Field.
Sector-S
Isolated Containment Zones for objects that are larger or with special requirements. SCP-ZH-684 and SCP-ZH-545 are currently contained in this area.
On-site MTF-ZH
MTF-Women's Bed-12 "Drongo of the Skydome"
The name is derived from a 'Amis Legend of a drongo bird holding up the veil of sky in the genesis era. The MTF is in charge of air-containment of Eastern Taiwan, also equipped with drones and a minor helicopter.
MTF-Root-01 "Dragon Trainer"
A collaborative team mainly in charge of hunting SCP-ZH-684 (a mythological serpent-like entity in Amis Folklore). Also consists of members from Site-ZH-28 and Site-ZH-15.
MTF-Spring-08 [Locked]
[CANNOT ACCESS]
Director of Security
The Director of Security and Prime Administrator of Site. Often nicknamed as "Sam" by his colleagues. A gentle beast that takes humanity management seriously. Due to unexplained reasons, his looking may vary under different observations, while his gray-white hair, glasses and tall figure are always consistent. He also has something to do with ducks. A bident spear/two-pitch harpoon is displayed in his office. This weapon may be used in some wacky circumstances.
Director of Human Resources
Equivalent of Director of Employee Affairs. A relatively young male supervisor, with jet black hair and emerald eyes behind correct lens. He is consistently suffered from insomnia and fractals of old day memories, hence it is highly recommended to not wake him up when he's asleep. The employee keeps benign relationship with SCP-ZH-036 entities. He is also the major supervisor/farmer of Sector-T Tea Farming Field.
Director of Logistics
- Dir. Annice I. Norton (Ain)
This staff prefers to be called "Dr. Ain" than "Dr. Norton" or "Dr. Annice Norton". Despite her half-Taiwan-half-US bloodline, she is fully into Taiwanese lifestyle. A heavy fringe usually covers her right side of face, and a pony-tail is dropped after her face. There is a long shovel in her personal office, said to be a tool of punishment for disobedient subordinates. Dr. Ain's Logistic Office is rumored to be one of the last few locations with active space anomaly in Site-ZH-44. More investigation are to be scheduled.
