Procedure: D-1852 is fitted with a shock collar 
set to deliver a non-lethal electrical shock once 
every thirty minutes. Time since initial 
exposure: 24 hours. 


Results: D-1852 was administered two shocks 
over the course of one hour. The collar failed 
to deliver the third shock at the appropriate 


time; fifteen seconds after replacement, the 
collar briefly activated twice due to a circuitry 
malfunction. 


Test Log 2441-2 
Subject: D-1852 
Supervising Researcher: Dr. Chidlow 


Procedure: Prior to test, D-1852 is told that 
the upcoming test is a meeting with 
Foundation superiors to discuss release from 
custody with an indeterminate period of 
probation. D-1852 is fitted with a new shock 
collar set to deliver a shock every twenty 
seconds. Time since initial exposure: thirty- 
three hours. 


Results: After one shock, the collar ceased 
functioning. While transporting a replacement 
collar from storage to the testing chamber, 
Junior Researcher _ tripped and fell on top of 
it, rendering the collar inoperable. D-1852 
terminated shortly afterwards via gunshot. 


Test Log 2441-3 
Subjects: D-5524, D-1242 
Supervising Researcher: Dr. Chidlow 


Procedure: Prior to exposure, D-5524 is given 
a slow-acting toxin in their morning meal 
designed to induce the development of brain 
aneurysms over the course of 72 hours. 


Testing chamber is equipped with a standard 
folding chair. D-5524 is instructed to sit, and 

they comply. D-1242 is given a pistol loaded 

with rubber bullets, and both are told that it is 
loaded with standard rounds. D-1242 is 


instructed to point the gun at D-5524. Time 
since initial exposure: 70 hours. Note: By this 
point, D-5524 appears to have a near- 
complete understanding of the abilities 
imparted by exposure to SCP-2441. 


Results: See Audio Log 2441-1.

(D-1242 points the gun towards D-5524's 
head.) 


D-5524: | wouldn't do that. 


D-1242: Shut up. 
D-5524: Go ahead, pal. Try. 


D-1242: You know what? I'd fuckin’ love to, 
man. They said if you try to move out of that 
chair, | get to blow your head off. 


D-5524: Really? So if | move, you'll shoot me 
in the head? 


D-1242: Yep, so you better st- 
D-5524: Okay. 


(D-5524 stands up, and D-1242 cries out and 
drops the gun. D-1242 cradles their right hand 
in their left.) 


(Note: Postmortem examination revealed a 
torn ligament in the right index finger of 
D-1242.) 


D-1242: My fuckin’ hand! 


field duty. Results thus far have been favorable. 


Addendum 268-03: Field-Testing has been suspended. Though 
Agent appears to have been on payroll and on records, no 
personnel, either on Site- or in higher command, remember 
knowing or hearing about an Agent . Further tests should be 
conducted only on D-Class personnel, and on no single individual 
for longer than ten (10) hours. 


Addendum 268-04: SCP-268's effects seem to strengthen and 
become permanent as individual subjects wear the artifact for 
extended periods of cumulative time. There is a marked difference in 
the potency of SCP-268's effect on someone wearing it for the first 
time, and someone who has worn the artifact upwards of five hours 
on other occasions. For example, someone who has not worn the 
cap before seems to dispel its effects merely by speaking. Those 
who have worn the artifact on several occasions for extended 
amounts of time seem to be able to ask observers questions and 
receive answers with the observer having little to no recollection of 
the event. In one test, a subject who had worn the artifact for 
upwards of fifteen hours was able to ask standing personnel the test 
chamber's password, nearly causing a containment breach and the 
escape of D-Class personnel. The security personnel in question 
reported being unable to recall parting with the information in 
question. - Dr. Klein 


Addendum 268-05: As of / / , SCP-268 is missing. Its absence 
was discovered early in the morning by Agent and research 
analysts, and in its place was a note reading "Thanks, | needed my 
hat back. ~ L.S." A full investigation of this security breach has been 
launched as of / / . Refer to [DATA EXPUNGED]

D-5524: Looks like you pulled somethin’ there, 
champ. 


D-1242: What the fuck did you do? 


D-5524: | didn't do anything. You just have to 
stretch more before using those fingers, bud. 


D-1242: What the fuck did you do, man?! 
D-5524: Your breathing. 

D-1242: ...what? 

D-5524: Your. Breathing. 

D-5524: It's aggravating. 

D-1242: The fuck you on about, man? 
D-5524: Stop it. 

D-1242: Stop what? Wh... 


(D-1242 clutches their throat, apparently 
unable to breathe. D-5524 faces the camera.) 


D-5524: This is, uh, quite a facility you got 
here, folks. To my understanding, you built it to 
hold oddities like me— well, me now— in 
check. 


(D-1242 collapses.) 


I'm not sure how powerful the shit kept in here 
is, but I'd guess that it's strong enough to 
warrant needing a pretty good power source. 


(D-5524 glances at the floor of the testing 
chamber, then looks back at the camera.) 


D-5524: Something nuclear, maybe. 


D-5524: Anyway. Come to think of it, it's 
kinda... chilly in here. Hm. It would be great if 
you guys turned up the temperature. 


D-5524: Actually, you know what would be 
awesome? If the cooling systems were just 
turned off. A// of them. 


D-5524: | don't think that the next reactor 
coolant cycle is really necess- 


(D-5524 pauses, then their knees buckle. 
Postmortem examination confirms the cause 
of death to be the rupturing of one of five 
developing brain aneurysms.) 


(A diagnostic check of Site- 's nuclear reactor 
core revealed a minor flaw in one of the 
cooling vents. It was promptly repaired.) 


Further testing on the long-term progression of SCP-244 1's effect is 
halted indefinitely. -Dr. Chidlow 


Retrieval log 2441: Reports of localized temporal oddities were 
received from a small neighborhood in , Germany. After 
capturing numerous instances of SCP-2441-1, Foundation 
intelligence ascertained the family to be a shared 
acquaintance with them all, and initiated standard procedure for 
containment of an inadvertent reality bender. 


Prior to retrieval, Foundation intelligence initiated contact via email 
with Mrs. on / / under the guise of a fictitious financial aid 
service. A visit from a 'representative’ was arranged for the 
manufactured purpose of conducting a house survey. 


On // , Agent posed as the 'representative’' and entered the 
household. All occupants were administered tranquilizer and 
retrieved. During retreival, Agent was affected by SCP-2441, 
and was interviewed shortly before being given class-C amnestics.

Agent : ...know that- 


Dr. Chidlow: Wait until | turn on the recording device, 
please. 


Agent : My bad. 
Dr. Chidlow: All right. Go ahead. 
(Agent clears his throat.) 


Agent : So, | didn't know what it was, first off. The 
briefing told me to handle this like one of them was an 
unconscious reality bender- keep it light, be friendly all 
around, you know. Don't give 'em a reason to want to will 
you off of this plane of existence. 


Agent : | walked up to the house, rang the doorbell, 
and Mrs. answered the door. She let me in and 
we made small talk in the foyer. 


Agent : While she was showing me around, | looked 
up at the scip and something in my head... shifted. | 
can't put it into words, exactly. It was like there was a big 
cube or something in my mind, and someone rotated it 
ninety degrees. 


Dr. Chidlow: Most afflicted subjects don't seem to notice 
the change unless it's pointed out. Were you aware of 
the mental restructuring as soon as it occurred? 


Agent : | was, but | think | get how you could miss it. 
It felt so... so seamless, like | had been thinking that way 
my entire life. Every memory | had of someone referring 
to a sixty-minute length of time seemed— still seems— 
fake. 


Agent : I'd be willing to bet that the only reason | 
noticed it was because | was briefed on the effect. 


Dr. Chidlow: That will be all. Proceed to the room out that 
door to be administered amn- 


2 SEND LOG: == 


SCP-2441 was retrieved from the household of the family, at 
the time consisting of an infant, an eight year old, a wife, and an 
absent husband. Upon retrieval, Mrs. was found to be 
contaminated by SCP-2441, which was hanging above the dining 
room table. A post-it note was found on the back, reading: 


Be home by eight my ASS. | set the curfew in this 
household, not you, 


Mrs. identified it as her husband's handwriting. According to 
Mrs. , Mr. had not been in the household for 130,727 
minutes (approximately three months).

SCP-2442: Sometimes Therapy Is Merely Painful 
Truths 


This article has been rewritten to its current form after the 
events of Incident 2442-03. The previous version may be found 
in Document 2442-01. 


Item #: SCP-2442 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2442's containment room 
is fitted similar to a Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy 
(REST) chamber, with no access to light and as much sound 
reduction as possible. At least three containment rooms on three 
different sites exist, with SCP-2442 occupying one of them. 


SCP-2442 is monitored at all times by at least two agents. If 
SCP-2442 begins to vocalize at any time, it must be sedated and 
administered Class-A amnestics. Any activities that could give a 
sense of structure to the passing of time are to be avoided or 
randomly scheduled. 


Should a containment breach occur, SCP-2442 is to be sedated and 
returned to one of its containment rooms if possible. If all 
containment rooms have been destroyed in the breach, SCP-2442 is 
to be distracted with communication with a Site Director until a 
containment room can be constructed. The Site Director is 
authorized to provide as much information as necessary to maintain 
the distraction but should avoid vital data where possible. 


Description: SCP-2442 is an actively hostile, anomalous humanoid 
capable of causing the disappearance of anything it is made aware 
of. In order to activate its main effect, SCP-2442 will behave as if it 
is bringing the attention of an unknown entity to an object, usually 
through verbal indication. The object will disappear within 12 hours 


through an unknown means. 


SCP-2442 is considered capable of other forms of reality 
manipulation, including creating voices that respond to its words. It 
is potentially anomalously persuasive, capable of convincing other 
personnel of its claims. SCP-2442 also displays gradually increasing 
resistance to amnestic drugs. The full extent of SCP-2442's 
anomalous effect is unknown. 


Any requests for a more extensive description are to be sent to the 
Site Director of the site SCP-2442 is currently contained at. 


Any claims SCP-2442 makes are to be completely ignored. They are 
unsubstantiated and are to be considered delusions. - O5-10 


Incident 2442-01: On 04/02/03, containment of SCP-2442 failed. In 
recapturing SCP-2442, the Foundation experienced heavy losses. 
Multiple Foundation personnel were recorded to have aided 
SCP-2442 after speaking to it; surviving personnel involved have 
been considered compromised and were terminated after amnestic 
treatment had failed.

<3:02> SCP-2442 is seen holding Agent 
outside of SCP-2442's containment cell. Agent 

had dropped the sedative that should have 
been administered to SCP-2442 during the 
breach. 


<3:02> Agent — : "/s this true? What was the 
point of this? What was the point of 
everything?" 


<3:03> SCP-2442: "You already know the 
answer, _ . Could you help me, please? Help 
her?" 


<3:05> Agent gets up and begins to lead 
SCP-2442 out of sight of the camera. 


<3:05> Agent — : "This way. I'll tell you 
everything | know. You're kinder than the 
description frames you, you know." Agent 
is lost approximately 35 minutes after.

<16:07> SCP-2442 is seen observing the 
containment room of SCP-[DATA LOST]. 


<16:08> SCP-2442: "Does this remind you of 
anyone ?" Followed by the sound of a woman 
crying from an unknown source and the 
spontaneous appearance of water in the air 
beside SCP-2442. 


<16:09> SCP-2442: "It's okay. Trust me. We 
can work through this together, just trust me." 
SCP-2442 is seen reaching to the drops of 
water, wiping them off. It cups the air with both 
hands. Followed speech is in hushed tones 
and is not picked up by microphone.

Incident 2442-02: On 05/12/12, containment of SCP-2442 failed. In 
recapture, the Foundation was able to mitigate losses thanks to the 
efforts of Site Director Duarte. Site Director Duarte was able to 
distract SCP-2442 by providing nonvital information. Containment 
procedures were updated to accommodate for Site Director Duarte's 


effective distraction.

[BEGIN LOG EXCERPT] 


<9:21> Site Director Duarte is seen leading 
SCP-2442 to an interviewing room. He sits on 
one end of the table as SCP-2442 sits on the 
other. There are microphones and recording 
equipment kept online. 


<9:21> Duarte: "So SCP-2442. What can | do 
for you today? What would you like to know? | 
can give you information on anything this 
facility contains." 


<9:22> SCP-2442: "You have people, don't 
you? | think I'd like to hear about them first. | 
have someone with me who | think would like 
to hear about them." There is a brief silhouette 
of a person against one of the walls. The 
person appears to be sitting on a couch in the 
room. The silhouette and the couch disappear 
within 0.5 seconds. Site Director Duarte does 
not appear to notice this. 


<9:25> Duarte: "Ah yes, here.” Site Director 
Duarte shows SCP-2442 a file of SCP-[DATA 
LOST] on his tablet computer. "This is SCP- 
[DATA LOST]. It's contained in the West 
Wing." SCP-2442 reads the tablet computer. 


<9:27> SCP-2442: "Hm, interesting. He's quite 
young isn't he? What was his name again?" A 
female voice answers SCP-2442. The name 
cannot be discerned, as the microphone 
temporarily cut out. 


<9:28> SCP-2442: "Ah, right. He was an old 
friend, wasn't he? Before the accident. You 


know where he is now, waiting. Maybe you 
should go see him. Don't worry. It'll be alright 
now. I'm with you." SCP-2442 reaches out and 
squeezes the air with one hand. A silhouette of 
a hand and forearm appears in the air as it 
squeezes. The silhouette disappears 0.9 
seconds later. SCP-[DATA LOST] is lost 
approximately 25 minutes later. 


<9:34> Duarte: "Would you like to see any 
more?" 


<9:35> SCP-2442: "/ would love to. Thank you 
for being so cooperative without needing an 
explanation. You're helping someone very 
important."
