Description: Four young individuals, including Mercier, stand next to each other in front of the camper van. All of them have their arms placed on each other's shoulders and are smiling. A male subject holds a white sign with "parawatch.███" written on it in black paint. A male individual (hereafter Subject 1) is drinking from a beer bottle, holding it in a comedically exaggerated manner. Several cell phones, ear buds, and portable chargers are suspended in the air above them.
NOTE: Due to the reluctance of Mercier to provide information, the names of these individuals are not known.

The camera rapidly moves up from a view of the ground and pans between various trees. An entity resembling SCP-3840 can be seen moving between branches, though the erratic movement of the camera and anomaly prevents a clear view of it.
Mercier: (whispering) Holy fuck.
SCP-3840 slows and goes limp on a tree branch.
Subject 1, presumed to be filming, starts speaking.
Subject 1: Quiet!
[CORRUPTED DATA EXPUNGED]
A small fire is present on the tree branch. SCP-3840 is missing.
Mercier: I— Oh. (incoherent muttering)

Description: Mercier and one of the photographed individuals sit in fold-out lawn chairs, next to an unlit camp fire. Facial expressions suggest that they are uncomfortable. Mercier is looking over her shoulder at a collapsed and burnt tree, which is largely obscured by the chairs. The upper torso of a body under the tree is partially visible, surrounded by blood and possessing clothing matching that of the other photographed female individual (hereafter Subject 2). A helical antenna extends from behind Mercier's chair, suspected to be originating from the unseen head of Subject 2.

The interior of the van can be seen, with the camera apparently at the rear bunk bed. All side windows are covered with blinds, and the white "parawatch.███" sign is obscuring the windshield. The camera momentarily shakes, briefly showing the edges of a black metal object on the bed. Heavy breathing is audible.
Loud scraping sounds are heard outside the van. The scraping stops after 30 seconds, and a heavy impact occurs on the left side of the van. There is a second impact from the opposite side, and over the next minute the impacts occur more frequently on all sides of the van. The windshields break and the sign falls over. Only darkness can be seen through the window. A hand grabs onto the black metal object. The impacts stop. Mercier can be heard from outside the van.
Mercier: Really now?
The van door opens and Subject 2 steps in, who turns to look at the subject holding the camera. She appears to be unharmed.
Subject 2: Could you quiet down in here? You're going to get the ranger—
The phone falls onto the bed, obscuring the camera. Three gunshots and a loud impact are heard.
NOTE: Analysis has found that the timing of each collision corresponds to a Morse code message:

The camera moves erratically as the subject holding it runs. Light from a flashlight illuminates patches of grass, though few details can be discerned. There is a high-pitched electronic whine and the subject collapses, rolling over and scrambling back. The flashlights points at SCP-3840, which is a meter away and lying on the ground. Its head turns to face the camera and its mouth widens, exposing a megaphone that protrudes from it.
Another electronic whine is released from a megaphone and a voice matching that of Peter Mansbridge is heard from it.
SCP-3840: —as the nation makes preparations. Meanwhile, Minister of National Defense Jason Kenney has declared the mobilization of all Canadian military forces. In his statement, he announced that citizens must be willing to provide any necessary—

<BEGIN LOG>
Subject 1, who has the phone in their breast pocket, is walking through a forested area with a male individual from the photograph (hereafter Subject 3). A 2m tall structure resembling a radio tower is present in the distance.
Subject 3: This'll work, right?
A repeating monotone buzzing sound momentarily replaces normal audio.
Subject 3: —been nice enough.
Subject 3 is abruptly thrown to the side by an unseen force. Subject 1 does not appear to react, and continues walking to the radio tower until reaching it after a minute. The tower is shoddily built, with radio equipment on a metal platform that is welded to numerous support beams. A tangle of cables extends from the back of the equipment and connects to two portable electric generators, which can be heard running.
Subject 1 grabs the phone and drops it onto the ground, with the camera facing upward. Severe burn wounds are seen on his right hand until he walks out of view. SCP-3840 is momentarily observed in the canopy, followed by a severed arm. Two minutes later the whirring stops and Subject 1 walks past the phone. There is a metal creaking sound and one of the generators is ejected through the tower, causing it to violently collapse. Metal debris lifts into the air and follow the path of the generator.
A wet crunch is heard in the distance.

A person entirely encompassed in flames sits on the ground, holding a beer bottle. Mercier, who is presumed to be filming, starts speaking.
Mercier: Soooo, anything I could get you?
The person lifts the beer bottle and begins drinking from it, making no apparent response.
Mercier: Mmm.
Melting cell phones fall out of the person's head.
Mercier: Well, if you spot anything come hollering. Never know what's out here.
Mercier turns around and walks toward the van, which is on fire.
