Here we see Emma walking down the halls of the Foundation and she encounters a containment cell and she sees the guards standing by.

Guard: "What brings you here ma'am?"

Emma: "I came here for the file called Confidencial Report on Special Items–Classified. The legal department has just as much authority as the O5 Council. Just as a reminder for you two."

Guard: "Of course ma'am, right away ma'am. You may enter ma'am."

We see the guards pull out keys and they put it into separate locks and turn them at the same time and open the door to a briefcase in the room.

Guard: "SCP-001 is in that case. No one is authorized to look into the SCP for multiple reasons on account of the item being an early alarm system or a means to summon SCPs. Either way, don't use the SCP."

Emma: "I'm merely gonna use it as evidence to prove that it's a warning system or not."

Emma then goes into the room and grabs the briefcase and cuffs herself to the case.

Guard 1: *pops his head in the room* " Ma'am are you sure this is a good idea?"

Guard 2: " Yeah that SCP is very dangerous."

Emma: "Then why did the Administrator put me in charge of an SCP as important as one of the reasons why the Foundation exists?"

Guard 1: " Fair enough. You can have the SCP for the time being. Just don't look into it."

Emma: "I won't."

Later, we see Emma in her office finding evidence for the case defending SCP-001 as we see Cory, Hooper, and Ruby looking into her office window.

Cory: "The one SCP that created the Foundation from the ground up is in that briefcase."

Hooper: "Do not try to look into it Cory. We don't know if it's a warning system or a means to summon SCPs."

Ruby: "That is why she's been given access to files of 002 to 005."

Hooper: "The Administrator put her in charge of proving the SCP's innocence. He wants it back to work."

Cory: " But why her?"

Hooper: " The Administrator said she's the best lawyer around, if anyone can get the Foundation to use SCP-001 again. It's her."

Sometime later, we see that Emma has compiled a set of notes but she has yet to complete her work.

Emma: *sighs*"The only way to prove it's not dangerous is to..."*looks at the briefcase*"Look into the file. What did (Y/N) say about this SCP?"

Flashback.

(Y/N): "Remember Emma, when you look into SCP-001. A new SCP will appear on our radar, it could be warning us of them or summoning them. Either way, do not look into the file. It's a proposal like that which brought the Foundation into existence."

Emma: " Gotcha, don't look into the file. But what do I do if the judge asks me to open it?"

(Y/N): "If it means to prove it's innocence then open it and read the file. We'll deal with the SCP, just like the rest of them. If it's true that it's a warning system then it will be declared safe."

Emma: " And if it's not?"

(Y/N): " Then we'll put it back in high security containment. The SCP itself uses our curiosity to look into it. I looked into it back in the Foundation's humble beginnings."

Emma: "There are so many SCP-001s that I have no idea how you guys are formed.

(Y/N): " It's a complicated system but don't worry you'll get used to it."
