However, following Incident SCP-821-A, all instances of SCP-821-1 
were apparently destroyed or otherwise removed, and SCP-821 
began to exhibit rapid structural deterioration. The devices contained 
within SCP-821 began to function erratically, showing much more 
dangerous properties than had previously been observed. In 
addition, SCP-821 itself is no longer safe to enter due to its 
structural damage. Alterations to devices include portions of the 
carousel and animatronic band becoming aggressive, striking and 
biting any subjects that approached them. Notably, portions of 
SCP-821 capable of speech were highly apologetic, offering to 
assist the subject that had been injured. Currently, no components 
of SCP-821 capable of producing speech are functional. 


Addendum: Incident 821-A. 


On 4/11/1989, personnel attempting to enter SCP-821 found that the 
entrance had been sealed off, and a note labeled "OUT OF 
BUSINESS" affixed to the door. Investigation into SCP-821's interior 
showed that no instances of SCP-821-1 could be located. In the 
center of the main floor, a letter was found. The text of the letter has 
been included in this report. As of 5/16/1999, SCP-821 has been 
designated as neutralized. 


Hello my friends. This is a day we have all been 
dreading, and | am sad to be the one who has to break 
the news. You've all known for awhile that Funland has 
been having troubled times for a very long while, and 
although times were tough, we always managed to pull 
through. But we can't do it anymore. I've seen the parks 


Containing it is what’s important. Doing what we have to do to keep 
people safe. It's why the containment comes first in all the files. It's 
the most important thing. You guys can still remember your parents, 
right? Them. We’re keeping them safe. Your grandparents, your old 
friends... We contain these things to protect them. 


See, this is where we always fuck it up. The second they make you 
forget about everyone... Ahh, well... It’s not important. Just 
remember. Right now, remember this feeling. Hold on to it. 


Because eventually, you're going to slip. 


Eventually, some of these carefully crafted procedures, something 
that dozens of people died so we could make sure it worked... 
You're going to fuck up. 


People will die. Maybe even you. Don't let that happen, if you can. 
Remember the feeling of your parents. The emotions that are tied to 
all those people out there. You can forget memories, but it's hard to 
forget the emotions tied to it. You ever hear of Little Albert? Same 
thing. 


Anyhow, sorry to be such a downer. Doctor... Rights? Is that right? 
Doctor Rights is going to make sure you're all good and healthy, 
give you some drinks. Don't bite the pill, just swallow it. 


And remember, alright? Especially for the next little bit? Try? 


|... Uh... Yeah. Sorry, Doctor. Your show now. I'll see you guys 
around the water cooler, right?

Synopsis 


Act 1 


A married couple are aroused from their sleep by the sound of a 
crying baby. The wife tells her husband that it's his turn to check on 
the baby. As the husband opens the door to their bedroom, he turns 
around and exclaims with alarm that they do not have a child. The 
husband is pulled through the doorway by an off-stage assailant. 
The terrified wife calls the police, and the phone call is intercepted 
by the Foundation Surveillance Network ("Something is 
[REDACTED]ing My Husband!"). 


Mobile Task Force Beta-12 arrives to find a globular red mass 
closing in on the wife. The team captures the creature in a metal 
crate, administers amnestics to the wife, and cleans up the 
husband's remains ("Just Another Tuesday"). They transport the 
creature to Site-19's North Containment Hall and lock it ina 
containment cell next to SCP-049 ("Secure, Contain, Protect"). Dr. 
Jack Bright and his assistants walk through the corridor to check 
that all SCPs are accounted for ("Roll Call"). 


Bright enters SCP-105's containment chamber and performs a 
routine test of her anomalous ability to see locations in photographs 
as they presently appear ("| See A Lighthouse"). Afterward, she is 
told she may be granted certain privileges for her good behavior. 
SCP-105 requests various luxury items, including fresh flowers and 
a bible, but also asks that Dr. Bright call her by her real name, Iris. 
Bright approves all her requests except the final one, as calling her 
by her real name would be a breach of protocol ("List of Requests"). 


Burdened by his obligation to treat the innocent captives the same 
way he treats the monsters, Bright goes to the SCP-408 enclosure 
and confesses his guilty feelings to lepidopterist Dr. Zynnia 
Kondraki. Kondraki reassures Bright that he is doing the right thing, 
although her speech includes a number of subtle allusions to the 
clear romantic tension between them ("Bright's Lament"). 


Elsewhere in Site-19, the amorphous red blob (now designated 
SCP-844) reveals itself to have the voice and personality of a small, 
frightened child. SCP-049, contained in the neighboring cell, tries to 
explain SCP-844's situation to it in a sensitive and gentle way, but 
he is interrupted by Able (SCP-076), who provides a more frank and 
honest description of life in containment ("Where am |?"/"Being 
Anomalous Really Sucks"). 


Loud sirens and bright flashing lights suddenly come on. The SCPs 
cheer, recognizing it as a Containment Breach alarm. They happily 
speculate who may have attained freedom, but are horrified when 
they find that it is SCP-106 ("Who's the Lucky Bastard?"/"Oh HELL 
No!"). SCP-106 silently performs a short dance number before 
leaving to wreak havoc in Site-19 ("Rage State Ragtime"). 


Meanwhile, Bright and Kondraki come close to sharing their first kiss 
while SCP-408 specimens create a romantic atmosphere around 
them ("Screw Professionalism"). Just as they are about to confess 
their feelings for one another, Site Director Yorick Cleffordson 
announces over Site-19's PA system that all personnel must assist 
in recontaining SCP-106 at any cost ("Put That Thing Back Where It 
Came From (Or So Help Me)"). Bright and Kondraki exchange 
awkward goodbyes and quickly run off to defend their Site. 


Bright searches Site-19's East Storage Wing for anything that might 


be able to stop SCP-106, but all he finds are Safe-Class objects with 
bizarre-but-unhelpful abilities ("My Kingdom for a Euclid"). Finally, 
he grabs a handful of objects with unidentified anomalous properties 
and leaves, hoping for the best ("What the Hell, I'm Dead Either 
Way"). 


SCP-106 walks through Site-19's cafeteria, killing staff members 
right and left. Suddenly the cafeteria turns into an idyllic pastoral 
scene, causing SCP-106 to recoil in terror. It sends handfuls of 
black, highly acidic sludge into the air, causing SCP-408 specimens 
to scatter and fall (“[TANGO EXPUNGED]”). Just as SCP-106 spies 
Kondraki in the corner of the room, Bright bursts in with his arms full 
of undocumented SCP objects. He throws them one after another at 
SCP-106, but to no avail. SCP-106 slowly advances toward Bright 
until the two are face-to-face. SCP-106 reaches forward menacingly, 
but at the last moment, Bright puts a comb on SCP-106’s head, 
turning it into a beautiful young woman— much to its distress. 


Site Director Yorickson enters the room with back-up security 
personnel, and SCP-106 is apprehended before it can remove the 
comb. Just as the trouble seems to be over, a support beam 
weakened by SCP-106’s sludge attacks begins to collapse. Bright 
sees the support about to fall on Kondraki and he pushes her out of 
the way, sacrificing himself in the process. He confesses his love to 
her with his dying breaths (“Screw Professionalism (Reprise)”). As 
his body goes limp, a red amulet falls out of his hand. 


Act 2 


Several days after the containment breach, a team of D-Class 
personnel is cleaning the damaged cafeteria. One of them finds the 
red amulet lying amongst some rubble and picks it up. His entire 
disposition immediately changes, and he runs out of the room in 
confusion. When captured and questioned, he claims to be Dr. Jack 
Bright. After he correctly answers questions only the real Bright 
would know, his interrogators are forced to believe him (“My Name 
Is Jack Bright”). 


Bright, in his new body, is designated as SCP-963 and placed in a 
holding cell until an available containment chamber can be found. 


Bright notes the irony of finding himself on the other side of the 
containment door (“Bright’s Lament (Reprise)"). He is surprised to 
find himself moved to an “overflow” chamber containing other 
humanoids. His cellmates, SCP-2800 and SCP-1846, attempt to 
raise his spirits (“It’s Not All Bad”). 


Meanwhile, Kondraki, still believing Bright to be dead, has her 
butterflies create an illusion of him so she can say goodbye (“Damn 
Your Sexy Face”). Dr. Everett King enters the butterfly enclosure to 
retrieve some notes, and several butterflies escape as he comes in. 
Kondraki follows them to the cell where Bright is being held, and the 
two reunite (“I’m Confused, But Kiss Me”). 


Elsewhere in Site-19, Able has been transferred to the cell next to 
Iris’. The two recount the romantic relationship they fostered as 
teammates in the Omega-7 Task Force as well the breakup that 
followed. Able begs her to see the warm, loving man behind the 
brutal killer, but Iris rejects the idea of ever getting back together (“I 
Would Never Gut You”). 


Bright continues to live day-to-day life an SCP, growing increasingly 
dissatisfied with the way he is treated by his former co-workers. 
(“When You’re a Skip”). He gradually becomes sympathetic to the 
plight of his fellow humanoid SCPs. He only embraces the “good” 
SCPs at first, but he eventually warms up to the more dangerous 
ones as well (“We're All Monsters, Really”). 


During his weekly secret rendezvous with Kondraki, Bright tells of a 
massive breakout he is planning with his fellow SCPs. He instructs 
her to hide in a safe place so she will not be hurt during the escape, 
and promises to run away with her when he is free (“What Could 
Possibly Go Wrong?”). Kondraki agrees, but later confesses to her 
butterflies that she is morally conflicted (“I’m Really Screwed Now’). 


The following day, Bright springs his plan into action. With the help 
of various SCP allies, A massive containment breach is successfully 
instigated (“The Breakout Song”). Many personnel are killed in the 
ensuing breach, including Bright himself. However, he comes back 
once again when his amulet falls onto Dr. King’s recently-deceased 
body (“Why Do | Taste Apples?”). Bright personally releases Iris 
from her containment chamber, finally calling her by her proper 


name. Able pleads for Iris to open his containment door and release 
him, but she chooses not to (“It Wasn't a Healthy Relationship At All, 
Really”). 


Bright finds Kondraki, but she has had a change of heart and cannot 
bring herself to run away with him. She explains that she needs to 
keep her promise to the Foundation by staying behind to help 
recontain the SCPs that want to destroy humanity, but she still 
wants Bright to escape while he can (“Screw Professionalism 
(Reprise, Again)”). The two say a tearful goodbye and Bright departs 
while Kondraki stays behind to fight alongside her butterflies. 


After the breach, Kondraki once again has her butterflies create an 
illusion of Bright with his original face. Her friend, Dr. Agatha Reach, 
enters the enclosure, grieving the death of Dr. King, and the two 
commiserate over their lost loves (“All My Boyfriends End Up 
Dead”). Suddenly, Bright enters the room, still in King’s body, and 
explains that no one knew King had died except the three of them, 
meaning he can essentially take over King's identity. Reach is 
initially disturbed, but decides she is happy her friends can be 
together, and says that King would have wanted them to be happy. 
Bright and Kondraki kiss, overjoyed at the second chance at living a 
normal life again together in Site-19 (“A Happy Ending, Sort Of”). 


A group of shadowy figures monitor surveillance footage of the 
previous scene. As they discuss what to do, Able enters the room in 
a suit, revealing himself to be O5-1, head of the Overseer Council. 
He explains that the whole event was orchestrated by the 
Overseers, and that they have decided to allow Bright to live on as 
Dr. King. The Council meeting breaks for lunch and Able is left alone 
in the room. Iris suddenly enters, confused. Able explains it was all a 
test, and Iris tearfully runs to his arms. With the containment breach 
officially over, the rest of Site-19's personnel get back to work 
(“Secure, Contain, Protect (Reprise)”.

Containment Engineer - A Typical Day 


Avery Zhang sighed as he swiped his Level 2 key card through the 
scanner on the wall. The light beeped from red to green, and the 
steel door in front of him slid aside to let him through. He sipped 
from the coffee cup in his right hand's grip as he stalked through the 
doorway. A security guard who must have possessed familiar 
features beneath the mirrored face shield grunted a greeting to him 
as they passed each other. Halfheartedly, Zhang returned a floppy 
wave at the guard with his free hand. 


Zhang sat down at his desk in his office. He logged into his 
computer and pulled up his email. One new message matter-of- 
factly informed him that the construction of his latest project had 
been finished and put to use, and that researchers at Site-19 were 
happy with it. This put him in a good mood; unfortunately, his bright 
start to the day was not to last. 


A knock at the door. The first of several appointments scheduled. 
"Come in!" he shouted. 


A man in his late twenties and dressed in a slightly wrinkled suit 
entered the office. The ID clipped to his chest distinguished him as a 
field agent. He took a seat across from Zhang's desk, and Zhang 
braced himself. 


The conversation began reasonably. Ten minutes later it had 
devolved into the following: 


Exasperated and frustrated, Zhang exclaimed, "For the last time, 
this anomaly does NOT need a specialized team of caretakers!"
