Special Containment Procedures: Foundation operatives 
embedded within ( ) have been relocated 
and situated upon Orbital Unit-09 under the guise of qualified station 
personnel. Personnel consists of four three (3) Foundation 
operatives preliminarily and extensively trained in aerospace 
engineering, extravehicular activity, confinement and 
experimentation/analysis for the sole purpose of SCP-2222's 
containment. Transmissions originating from are to be 
intercepted and deterred by Foundation operatives trained in 
linguistics and vocal interpretations at Commanda-2. 


Hermetic doors composing SCP-2222 are to remain sealed with the 
exception of testing and/or analysis purposes. No internal interaction 
is permitted within SCP-2222 during analysis; visual and/or auditory 
analysis is permitted from SCP-2222's exterior following manual 
opening. Testing requires the release of any number of Rattus rattus 
within SCP-2222, the supply of which is currently situated within the 
Unit laboratory. Emergent entities from within SCP-2222 are to be 
transferred to a suitable and sterile area in which further testing and 
analysis regarding resultant behavioural, physical and anomalous 
characteristics may be conducted prior to termination. Entities are to 
be terminated via the release of gaseous rodenticides. 


Following Incident 2222-REF#209, any indications of fascination or 
obsession pertaining to SCP-2222 from Unit personnel are to be 
reported to Command-2, where temporary/permanent replacement 
of the personnel in question may be administrated. Complete 
personnel obsession pertaining to SCP-2222 is to result in the 
immediate isolation of Orbital Unit-09, where Armed Rapid 


Response Spatial Task Force-01 may be contacted. Additional 
emergency response forces are to be stationed at Command-2, who 
are to be dispatched in the event of a Unit personnel member 
becoming obsolete (refer to Exploration III for further details). 


Description: SCP-2222 is an airlock composed of two (2) opaque 
hermetic plug doors and a cylindrical (3.6 m in diameter) chamber 
within - space station (designated Orbital Unit-09). Attempts 
to internally survey SCP-2222 during the closure of both hermetic 
doors such as placing interior surveillance devices, pressure 
sensors or radios within the chamber have failed due to apparent 
malfunction. As a result, no means of interior observation within 
SCP-2222 are possible, excluding reopening via electronic control. 
REVISION: / /_ - Refer to Incident 2222REF#209 for further 
information. 


Organisms entering SCP-2222 precipitate immediate anomalous 
effects. Upon entrance from Orbital Unit-09's interior, the inner 
hermetic door will seal and entrap the organism. SCP-2222 will 
remain sealed for approximately three (3) minutes prior to the door 
reopening and the organism re-emerging. Attempts to manually 
open either hermetic door during this period invariably fail. Entry to 
within SCP-2222 from Orbital Unit-09's spatial exterior is yet to be 
conducted. 


Upon re-emergence, organisms exhibit complete organic and 
structural eversion. Organisms remain alive despite theoretically 
fatal alterations to their physical forms. Affected human subjects are 
capable of communication through vocalising individual words in 
reverse; as observed within Incident 2222-01, subjects appear 
physically incapable of vocalising individual words in standard 
intelligible format unless prompted to do so. As a result, immediate 
communication has proven impossible due to incomprehension. 
Despite this, reverse playback of recorded interviews have 
successfully determined the meaning of individual vocalisations. 
Individual vocalisations from sentient organisms such as Rattus 
rattus also exhibit this impairment. 


Incident 2222-01: / /  : Interview with the first affected 
Foundation subject following SCP-2222's initial acquisition (refer to 
Document-2222-667DL for further details). Subject is ,a 


former Level 4 operative with qualifications in engineering. Physical 
alterations were first noted following 's interaction and 
accidental entrapment within SCP-2222 during interior analysis. 
Individual vocalisations from are reversed for the purpose 
of comprehension. It is to be of note that Dr. was unable to 
comprehend during the interview. Original unaltered audial

Incident 2222-REF#209: The following events occurred between 
the dates of // and // _ following successful interior 
surveillance within SCP-2222 after handheld digital cameras within 
the chamber exhibited non-malfunction. The preceding information 
thus warranted inclusion and exploration within SCP-2222, 
conducted by seven (7) D-Class personnel resituated upon Orbital 
Unit-09 with preliminary sedation administrated beforehand, 
alongside five (5) Level 4-5 Foundation operatives with the 
responsibility of Unit maintenance and safety, alongside 
communication with D-Class personnel. Current Unit personnel were 
granted temporary leave, with long-term signal failure occurring 
across all so as to maintain the undetectability of the response 
force relocating the personnel. It is to be of note that D-Class 
personnel were unaware of SCP-2222's anomalous effects prior to 
their exposure to SCP-2222.

D-82111: Yeah. 


[SCP-2222's interior is illuminated. No atypical 


deviations in appearance noted] 


Agent Eine: Please remain in your position 
until further notice.

Agent Eine: We're picking up a metallic 
scraping sound. Please confirm. 
D-82111: I'm not hearing shit. 

Agent Eine: Noted. Please notify us upon 
hearing or seeing anything significant. 


[TRANSCRIPT REDACTED FOR BREVITY] 


D-82111: What was that? 
Agent Eine: Please elaborate. 
D-82111: The window. Look at it. 


[D-82111 readjusts the head-mounted camera 
setting to focus on an exterior hermetic door 
window. It is to be of note that SCP-2222's 
exterior hermetic door does not possess a 
window] 


Agent Eine: First visual and/or spatial 
anomaly noted. Move closer to the window, 
please. 

D-82111: No, man. No, | can't. | just- 

Agent Eine: Move closer to the window. 
D-82111: You don't want to see what's on the 
other side of that window. 

Agent Eine: I'm sorry? 

D-82111: No. On. 

Agent Eine: D-82111, please explain your 
current condition. 

D-82111: On. Pots. [D-82111's voice indicates 
vocalisation difficulty] 


[D-82111 manually removes the digital camera 
from the head-mounted setup, before rotating 


the camera towards himself. D-82111's facial 
characteristics exhibit extreme injury 
consistent with those observed in Incident 
2222-01; D-82111's hairline appears forcibly 
pulled from the root, while the epidermal layer 
covering the scalp is stretched and cracked, 
indicating the origin point of epidermal 
eversion. D-82111 drops the camera as an 
apparent consequence of massive physical 
trauma, causing the feed display to depict the 
aforementioned window, now open. Visible 
through the window is outer space and the 
Earth's upper atmosphere. Analysis confirms 
the presence of an amorphous figure 
momentarily eclipsing the outside scene from 
view. Audial analysis of reverse playback 
confirms D-82111 to be retching]

D-72892 is relocated to within SCP-2222 in a similar 
fashion to the prior exploration, similarly equipped with 
one (1) long-lasting electronic lantern and one (1) digital 
camera feeding directly to Unit command. D-82111 is 
additionally equipped with a preliminarily arranged series 
of questions to address the inhabitant(s) of SCP-2222 in 
person, so as to determine the purpose and source of 
SCP-2222's anomalous properties.

D-72892: Uh, do | just read these out loud? 
Director Kauffman: Activate your torch 
beforehand. And yes, please do so. On my 
command. 

D-72892: Right. Sorry. 

Director Kauffman: Read question one aloud, 
please. 


Foundation assets became aware of SCP-255 while investigating an 
unknown illness affecting certain primates, including humans, in 
rural regions of northwestern Myanmar. The number of animals 
affected is unknown, but was estimated at the time to be between 
1,000-5,000 individuals, primarily among forest-dwelling monkey 
species. 


All human instances and a representative sample of infected 
monkeys were brought under Foundation control, and special 
containment procedures enacted. In controlled laboratory conditions, 
animal subjects displayed advanced signs of motor neuron 
impairment, with a 100% mortality rate over a period of three weeks. 
Human subjects displayed mild neurological impairment, 
comparable to that experienced after a minor stroke. 
Experimentation confirmed that the disorder was not contagious. All 
human subjects recovered within ten days, and were released 
without incident after being informed that they were treated under a 
World Health Organization initiative.

of Outbreak Confirmed 
Human Cases

Rote Island, 
Indonesia; 
Croker Island, 
Australia 


A second SCP-255 outbreak occurred in 1979 in three separate 
regions, undetected until 19 months later when a routine review of 
forthcoming medical literature documented several individuals 
complaining of a "phantom limb" sensation affecting the dominant 
hand, simulating the spastic movement and persistent ache of an 
extraneous eleventh digit. 


Foundation personnel covertly interviewed subjects claiming to be 
affected by this phenomenon. Subsequent research determined that 
all individuals resided within 25 km of the 11th parallel south, and 
were experiencing an anomalous condition. Lack of person-to- 
person transmission capabilities were confirmed, and disinformation 
measures in the scientific community were carried out, achieving 


D-72892: "This is D-72892 speaking on behalf 
of the SCP Foundation. Please state your 
reasons for your inhabitance within Orbital 
Unit-09's airlock."

regular playback] 


Director Kauffman: /Recoils] What in hell was 
that deafening noise? [To Unit command 
observers] Did you pick that up? God-awful. 
My ears are still ringing. Bloody cacophonous. 
D-72892: | didn't hear anything. What're you 
on about, man? 

Director Kauffman: A discordant screech was 
picked up on the audio feed. Please read the 
second question aloud, 72892. Jesus. 
D-72892: "Who are you, and what do you 
represent?"
