Fun fact: Images can be transmitted over shortwave radio by means of a few protocols, one being Digital Radio Mondiale, and the other being Slow-Scan Television. The databurst you mention could be very real audio, which would actually decode into an image. A videocassette likely would not have an EAS interrupt, it would be more likely that the tape simply has a watermark that says classified. I doubt the NSA, especially in an SCP-like timeline, would be using consumer-grade VHS, they may have had a more advanced form of magnetic archival. Possibly even digital, hence the interrupt (though it'd likely happen earlier, if one had intruded into their computer network, likely at the point of intrusion). Video over dial-up internet would be unfeasible, but an audio-enhanced "powerpoint" would be far more realistic, especially with efficient compression algorithms. Although, at that point, the genre would have shifted almost entirely into the realm of Digital Horror, the land of haunted UNIX systems and cursed DOS installations.

Good song choice as for 0:25, quite the classic

well... not quite, but fair enough
