¢ There is no plant or animal life anywhere. All places of human 
habitation, including major cities, appear as if all life suddenly 
vanished in the same instant. 

¢ Most, if not all, electrical systems appear to be broken or 

without power. 

The air will randomly take on a grey-brown tint, accompanied 

by strong wind. 


Subjects displaced to this “alternate world” report initial surprise and 
curiosity, which are shortly replaced with very strong feelings of 
loneliness and fear. The severity varies widely with individual 
subjects and with time of displacement. Upon the end of 
displacement, subject will re-integrate from this “alternate world” to 
our own, which can cause a great deal of shock, especially in urban 
settings. Most subjects who remain displaced for more than three 
months suffer lasting psychological damage consistent with being 
sequestered within solitary confinement.

In addition, reports of intermittent, fragmentary 
broadcasts have been returned by subjects attempting to 
repair power to media devices such as televisions and 
radios. It is unclear if these are real or the product of the 
degraded mental states of those remaining long enough 
to complete said projects, but reports consistently 
resemble automated messages prepared by the 
Foundation in contingency for XK-Class Scenarios. 
Testing will commence if viable samples can be 
recovered.

SCP-202: The Rewind Man 


Item #: SCP-202 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Research is being conducted 
on SCP-202 at Bio-Research Area-12. Here, researchers are 
actively seeking to understand and cure the condition plaguing 
SCP-202. He is granted full amenities of Level-O personnel quarters 
when not being examined. SCP-202 is under the assumption that he 
is in a hospital and is not to be made aware that his ‘doctors’ are in 
fact SCP researchers. 


Description: SCP-202 is an Asian-British male, 41 years of age, 
who performs all actions in reverse. He does not appear to age in 
reverse, but speaks, eats, walks, and performs all other actions 
opposite to what is considered normal. SCP-202 speaks in reverse 
English with a British accent. Recording his speech and playing it 
backwards at a 1:1 speed allows for normal communication. The 
subject asserts that he was a normal individual living in Stockport, 
England, until he woke up one morning four years ago and found 
that every action he attempted to do, he did in reverse. He pledges 
that no matter how hard he tries, he is unable to carry out normal 
patterns of motion. He also claims to be unable to explain how he is 
able to walk backwards through crowded halls without bumping into 
others or other inexplicable acts. 


Watching SCP-202 is particularly frustrating to Foundation biologists 
and physicists. Rather than acting as a pump, the chambers of his 
heart act as vacuums, pulling his blood towards the heart in arteries 
and pushing it away in veins. SCP-202 actually exhales oxygen and 
processes carbon dioxide. Researchers are fervently seeking 
answers to how his respiratory system works and if, on the 
molecular level, the Krebs Cycle of metabolism could possibly run in 
reverse. His 'eating' habits confound researchers as well, as food 
comes up from his stomach and out his mouth, and undergoes a 


reverse chew. For example, when ‘eating’ a sandwich, SCP-202 
somehow regurgitates a bolus of food that reverse chews into a 
portion of sandwich. Boluses are added from SCP-202 into a 
complete sandwich that defies laws of both physics and biology. The 
resulting sandwich is completely normal and edible according to 
research. SCP-202 claims that he isn't aware of what he's going to 
‘eat' until it starts coming. As for 'waste’, when SCP-202 needs to 
[DATA EXPUNGED, SEE ADDENDUM). 


SCP-202 does not think in reverse and cannot foresee the future, as 
some personnel believe. He is rather good at Rubik's Cubes and 
enjoys dismantling jig-saw puzzles. 


Addendum: Direct Order from Commander [EXPUNGED]: 
"We're not having any more discussion about what happens when 
two oh two goes to the bathroom! | think we can all paint a pretty 
picture of what goes on in there. The damn scientists can't explain 
where it comes from and neither can the plumbers, so let's just 
leave it at that! The poor man has enough problems, give him the 
courtesy of a little privacy. Until the quacks can come up fora 
reason to study it, | want all data on the topic expunged!"

SCP-203: Tortured Iron Soul 


Item #: SCP-203 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-203 is to be kept in 
Storage Bunker 3-A at Research Facility while powered down. 
Two D-Class personnel equipped with sound filtration equipment are 
required to guard Bunker 3-A in case of accidental activation of 
defense mechanism. While active, SCP-203 is to be accompanied 
by an armed escort to any testing procedures. 


Description: SCP-203 appears to at one time have been a 
Caucasian human male of indeterminate age. Subject is two anda 
half (2.5) meters tall (though it is theorized that the “skeletal” 
framework augments subject’s original height, as indicated by 
irregular musculature) and weighs approximately two-hundred (200) 
kilograms. 


The subject’s entire skeletal structure has been removed and 
replaced with a mechanical framework made of cast iron that seems 
to move on its own volition. This framework appears to be the sole 
cause of SCP-203’s ambulation, independent of its musculature. 
Several areas of skin on the subject’s body have split, revealing a 
section of the subcutaneous metal framework’. In addition to these 
areas, some parts of the metal structure seem have been made to 
intentionally protrude from the flesh, seeming to form an aesthetic 
pattern2. The augmentations to the subject's body include, but are 
not limited to: 


¢ The fingers have been extended into sharpened barbs approx. 
one (1) meter long. 

* The lips have been removed, revealing that SCP-203 lacks a 
jawbone, suggesting that the skull is a single, hollow piece. 
Remaining oral tissue has been tied into the ‘skull’ with 
several hook-like protrusions. In place of the mouth, a small, 


audio transducer-like grate has been welded. This augment 

produces basic vocalizations through an unknown 

mechanism. 

The vertebrae have been replaced with a segmented iron bar, 

which has several sharp barbs haphazardly welded to it. 

« The legs have two added joints (making them appear 

functionally digitigrade) with steel tubes of an unknown 

function protruding from them, executing and tying into the 
back. 

The ribcage lacks a sternum, causing the skin to pull inward 

with contraction of the subject's diaphragm. 

* Ears removed, remaining skin stapled togethers. 

[EXPUNGED] removed. 

* All toes removed, replaced with a solid piece of iron, vaguely 
resembling the metal insert of a 'steel toe' boot. The heels are 
augmented with similar metal inserts. 

* Eyes have been retained, but are held in the forward-facing 
position by several needles protruding from the eye socket. 
Irises seem to be permanently dilated and not photoreactive. 


While lacking vocal cords, SCP-203 can communicate verbally 
through the transducer located on its faceplate. It appears to 
understand English to an extent, but its primary language appears to 
be a previously unknown Arabic dialect. SCP-203 has no 
recollection of a life before its augmentations, only that it feels near- 
constant pain and confusion. 


SCP-203 appears to run on an internal power cell that runs for a 72- 
hour period, after which the subject enters into a state of hibernation 
that lasts between 3 and 4 hours. Subject cannot deliberately 
deactivate this power source, though it has expressed that these 
periods of “sleep” are the only escape it has from its otherwise 
miserable existence. As there is no current way of ascertaining the 
truthfulness of the subject's statements, any expression of pain or 
depression by the subject is to be viewed by staff as a method of 
eliciting a sympathetic response, and are to be dismissed. 


X-rays, CT, ultrasound, and all other forms of diagnostic imagery 
have proven incapable of penetrating the internal workings of 
SCP-203 deeper than the subcutaneous level, and exploratory 


surgery activates a secondary defense mechanism that 
[REDACTED]. 


It has recently come to light that SCP-203 has the ability to emit a 
high-frequency drone, superficially similar to audio feedback, that 
has a severely damaging effect on the human nervous system. 
However, this mechanism is only activated when subject is provoked 
or harmed. For more information regarding this ability, see the 
attached testing log. 


SCP-203 has, on numerous occasions, requested either 
anesthetics, analgesics or on occasion, narcotics. These requests 
are pending approval. 


Show Testing Log 


Test Format: 

Subject: 

Presiding Researcher: 
Method of Induction: 

Result: [Time after exposure]: 


Subject: Personnel D-104 

Presiding Researcher: N/A 

Method of Induction: Accidental. SCP-203 is struck by 
D-104 when it refuses to enter storage. When defense 
mechanism activates, D-104 continues his assault, and 
forces SCP-203 into containment. 

Result: 

[1 minute after exposure]: Subject experiences a severe 
headache. 

[15 minutes after exposure]: Subject’s headache 
increases in intensity and his ears begin to bleed. 
SCP-203 continues to screech. (Note: D-171, the other 
guard on duty, is not affected by the sound) 

[20 minutes after exposure]: Subject leaves his post and 
checks himself into infirmary. 

[30 minutes after exposure]: Subject experiences 
seizure. Subject is now bleeding from all extremities. 
[35 minutes after exposure]: Subject begins to yell “shut 
it up” repeatedly, though he is no longer within audible 


range of SCP-203. 

[40 minutes after exposure]: Subject flat lines. Post 
mortem reveals that Subject died of a massive cerebral 
hemorrhage. 


Subject: Personnel D-090 

Presiding Researcher: Dr. 

Method of Induction: Subject is locked in cell with 
SCP-203 while being observed via remote cameras. 
D-090 is equipped with a Taser and is told to use said 
weapon on SCP-203. Subject is reluctant, but complies. 
SCP-203 begins emission of defenses 30 seconds after 
provocation. 

Result: 

[1 minute after exposure]: Subject becomes agitated and 
assaults SCP-203 again. SCP-203 continues emission 
and assumes fetal position. 

[10 minutes after exposure]: Subject begins holding head 
and ears and nose begin to bleed. SCP-203's defense 
mechanism continues. 

[25 minutes after exposure]: Subject experiences 
seizure. SCP-203's defense mechanism appears to 
cease. However, later analysis reveals that the 
frequency of the emitted sound has simply moved 
beyond the human range of hearing. 

[35 minutes after exposure]: Subject begins vomiting 
blood and bleeding from the eyes. 

[40 minutes after exposure]: Subject appears to be dead. 
Emitted sound genuinely ceases. 

[44 minutes after exposure]: SCP-203 stands and moves 
toward the body of subject. SCP-203 then begins to 
surgically remove subject’s skeleton. At this time, 
SCP-203 is removed from cell and put into storage. 
(Note: test seems to indicate that SCP-203’s defense 
mechanism is also a method of producing more 
SCP-203-like entities. Further tests in allowing SCP-203 
to continue this process are being considered.) 


Addendum: Interview Log 203-1 


Interviewed: SCP-203 
Interviewer: Dr. 
<Begin Log, -- ,3:34PM> 


<Dr. >: | saw you've requested to see the video 
footage from the test last week. 

<203>: Yes. 

<Dr. >: Any particular reason? 

Pause. 

<203>: Eyes do not see, happens beyond. Lost in the 
black, like time of silence, and does not know what they 
do. 

<Dr. >: I’m not sure | understand... you lose 
consciousness when your defenses are triggered? 
<203>: Yes. 

<Dr. >: And... you wish to know what you did to your 
assailant? 

<203>: After the black, we see only after. Within the 
black, our body is only the tool of [unintelligible, possibly 
Arabic]. 

<Dr. >: Why do you want to know this? 

203 is silent for several minutes. 

<Dr. >: 203? 

<203>: They think us a thing. They think us something to 
watch. [garbled, sounds like “We are a toy”]. But, even 
with the evil inside me, one talks to us as a man. 

<Dr. >: I'm sorry? 

<203>: You, . You talk to us like we are not metal. You 
call us by name. 

203 makes an unidentified sound; possibly laughter. 
<203>: When nobody hears, you call us by name. You 
call us “Edward”. Like guards say “Edward 
Scissorhands”. 

<Dr. >: [becoming distressed] That would be 
unprofessional, 203 — 

<203>: You call us “Edward”, and you say you care, and 
you will help us — 

<Dr. >: This session is over. 


<End Log> 


Closing statement: Dr. has since been denied 
access to observation of SCP-203. 


Footnotes 

1. This and the presence of suture scarring indicate the augments to 
have been surgical, rather than the organic components being 
grown onto the metallic structure. See Anatomical Analysis 203- 
Aleph for further details. 

2. While it is merely speculation at this point, some researchers 
believe these additions to be ritualistic in nature 

3. Note that subject has displayed superhuman aural acuity despite 
this fact. 

4. Quite obviously SCP-203's metallic nature precludes the use of 
magnetic resonance imaging

SCP-204: The Protector 


Item #: SCP-204 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-204-1 and SCP-204-2 are 
to be kept ina 10 m x 10 m fortified holding area in Site- . The 
holding area must be constructed out of armor plated steel and 
heavily-reinforced concrete. The holding area must also be vacuum 
sealed and contained within an outer shell with a higher air pressure 
that must always be maintained with at least 2 PSI over the current 
air pressure in the holding area. At least one full security team must 
be kept on standby at all times. 


It is only during SCP-204-1's scheduled feeding times that D-class 
personnel are allowed to enter for the purposes of maintenance. 
SCP-204-1's typical diet consists of any kind of meat, preferably 
from living subjects. Such subjects will often consist of aggressive 
animals such as wild dogs, bulls, or any other animal that must be 
euthanized due to aggression. However, D-class personnel will also 
suffice if such food sources are unavailable. SCP-204-2's diet 
consists of a regular human diet with no special measures required. 
SCP-204-2 is allowed to make special requests, but any and all 
requests must be given O5 approval. Any personnel caught 
attempting to deliberately provoke SCP-204-2 will be immediately 
terminated. 


Security personnel are required to ignore any and all of SCP-204-2's 
attempts to provoke a response from them unless there is a clear 
and present risk of containment breach. Failure to do so will result in 
harsh administrative punishment. 


When SCP-204-2 is about to turn the age of fourteen, the 
Foundation must initiate Containment Protocol 204. Further details 
may be found in Containment Protocol 204 Requirements.
