Prior to opening the container, the pre-installed air pump is to be 
activated to remove hydrogen cyanide (HCN) present in the 
container. Canisters filled with HCN are to be disposed of as per 
standard non-anomalous waste disposal protocols.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2144 is to be 


kept in a modified Size-S animal containment cell at 
Site-37, equipped with hermetically-sealed walls, 
radiation shielding and an air pump. A surveillance 
camera is to be set up to observe SCP-2144, anda 
transparent glass window is placed to allow direct 
observation of SCP-2144. An ECG and automated 
defibrillator are to be attached to SCP-2144, with the 
defibrillator set to activate when its heart rate is below 30 
bpm. If heart rate fails to increase after defibrillation, 
voltage may be increased and research staff assigned to 
SCP-2144 are to be notified immediately. 


Once per week, a containment engineer is to maintain 
the structural integrity of the cell and repair any damages 
to it. Prior to opening the cell, all personnel handling 
SCP-2144 or the cell are to wear Level A Hazmat suits 
and the air pump is to be activated to remove HCN 
present in the cell. 


When not in the cell, SCP-2144 is to be placed ina 
hermetically-sealed container with an air pump pre- 
installed and radiation shielding. The ECG and 
automated defibrillator are to remain attached to 
SCP-2144. One side of the container is to be 
transparent, such that SCP-2144 may be observed. Prior 
to opening the container, the pre-installed air pump is to 
be activated to remove HCN present in the container. 
Canisters filled with HCN are to be disposed of as per 
standard non-anomalous waste disposal protocols. 


Description: SCP-2144 is a creature resembling a specimen of 
Felis catus (domestic cat). It stands at about 25 cm in height, and its 
head-to-tail length is about 80 cm. SCP-2144 does not possess a 
reproductive system, and there are no signs of neutering performed 
on it. Only humans are capable of interacting with SCP-2144; other 
animal species (including F. catus) are unable to detect or recognise 
SCP-2144's existence. 


SCP-2144 exhibits different anomalous properties based on it being 
in an open space or an enclosed space.! 


While SCP-2144 is in an open space, it is animate despite lacking a 
heartbeat. In addition, it also does not require nutrients or 
respiration. In this state, SCP-2144 can only be perceived via direct 
observation by a human. Its image cannot be captured on 
photographs or video, requiring direct observation by a human to 
perceive it. Similarly, sounds produced by it can only be heard 
directly by a human observer and are unable to be recorded. 
SCP-2144's mass is unable to be measured; scales regularly 
register its mass as 0.0 kg. However, personnel who had held 
SCP-2144 estimate its mass to range from 2 to 5 kg. 


In terms of behaviour, SCP-2144 is shown to be lively while in an 
open space and typically moves about whenever it can. It also tends 
to avoid approaching any doors, windows or similar openings in the 
vicinity. Thus, SCP-2144 shows a level of resistance towards 
attempts to place it in containers or cells. 


When SCP-2144 is in an enclosed space, it ceases all movement 
and remains immobile until it is removed from the space. Its 
heartbeat and respiration can only be detected while under this 
state. Notably, its heart rate usually starts at about 200 bpm and 
slowly declines over time. Estimations suggest that it takes about 48 
hours for asystole to occur. Furthermore, SCP-2144's image can be 
photographed in this state. Its mass can be recorded in this state, 
although measurements are inconsistent and range from 1.9 kg up 
to 5.2 kg. 


During this state, trace amounts of beta particles and gamma 
radiation are detected within the enclosed space. Hydrogen cyanide 
(HCN) is also spontaneously generated within the enclosed space 
via transmutation, aided by the ionising radiation generated. HCN 
samples taken record a concentration of approximately 300 mg/m3, 
which is capable of killing an average human within 10 — 60 min. 
However, SCP-2144 is resistant to the toxic effects of HCN and is 
shown to be capable of inhaling HCN. Generation of HCN ceases 
when SCP-2144 is removed from the enclosed space. 


SCP-2144 was first found in the residence of Jason Schmidt? in 
Berlin, Germany on / /2003, where said individual had died of 
cyanide poisoning. Hydrogen cyanide and gamma radiation were 
detected from within his residence. SCP-2144 was also present at 


the scene, and was initially believed to be dead. Its anomalous 
properties were revealed when it resumed motion after removal from 
the residence. Foundation agents subsequently recovered 
SCP-2144 under the guise of hazard control, and began 
containment of it. A cover story of a murder attempt on Schmidt was 
disseminated to the Berlin Police, and his residence was 
decontaminated afterwards. 


Addendum 2144-1: When initially found, it was wearing a collar with 
a note attached to it. The item is deemed non-anomalous and is 
kept in the Non-Anomalous Items Storage Sector at Site-37. Text of 
the following note has been translated from German. 


Dear Jason, 

It's been nine months, but our baby's finally here. Look at 
the fruits of our labour and know this: Every idea has its 
right to exist. Please tell what do you think of it tonight. 


Love, Mel 


Addendum 2144-2: Attempts to defibrillate SCP-2144 are noted to 
be increasingly difficult with each attempt. Thus far, higher voltages 
have been utilised successively to prevent asystole. Dr. Johann 
Wolfgang hypothesises that SCP-2144 may be adapting to electric 
shocks applied on it. 


Addendum 2144-3: As of / /2003, SCP-2144's Special 
Containment Procedures have been revised. Dr. Hu An has issued 
the following memorandum in regards to this update. 


Upon the board's review of SCP-2144's current Special 
Containment Procedures, we express concern over the 
effectiveness of its regular defibrillation. While our 
current stance is to increase voltage to prevent possible 
self-termination, there is a limit as to how far it can go on. 
There may come a point where a significantly high 
voltage will electrocute SCP-2144 or it will be forced to 
flatline. 


As such, procedures have been updated to alter 
SCP-2144's living space — to give it a little breathing 


inspection of the crate of bananas which was used for chosen dish 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. Helicopters . Local farmers were 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Back to SCP-241 


space. Outside the box, it is not inherently dangerous. 
Ideas are hardly dangerous on their own; that falls down 
to their treatment by others (re: us). And this creature is 
an idea — a flawed idea, but it exists still and we're not 
letting it go out for being incorrect in the real world. 


Do not worry about the possibility of SCP-2144 escaping. 
Based on behavioural studies of SCP-2144, it appears to 
instinctively avoid all doors and windows, perhaps 
thinking that another box is behind those doors and 
windows. It clearly does not like being locked in a box; 
after all, ideas are meant to wander about.

SCP-2145: Seven Extra Seasons 


Item #: SCP-2145 
Object Class: Keter Neutralized Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2145-1, -2, and -3 are to 
be contained in standard humanoid cells at Site 19. They frequently 
attempt to engage in self-harm, and are to be considered a 
moderate to high suicide risk; although Dr. has speculated that 
the nature of their anomaly would prevent any self-inflicted injuries 
from being fatal, this is — short of allowing a suicide attempt to 
proceed to completion — unfalsifiable. For their psychological well- 
being, they are permitted to undergo cosmetic surgery procedures at 
their own request; these procedures may not be performed any 
more frequently than once every three months. 


The cadaver of SCP-2145-4 is contained in a high-security morgue 
freezer at Site 26. Access to tissue samples requires written 
permission from two O5-level personnel. 


Personnel with level-3 clearance or higher may access the previous, c 


SCP-2145 is not currently containable; containment 
procedures will instead focus on minimizing damage. 
SCP-2145-1, -2, -3, and -4 are to be kept under 
surveillance at all times. All electronic communication to 
and from them is to be intercepted, recorded, transcribed 
via a double-blind system, and archived. No individual 
Foundation agent, operative, or employee is to be 
assigned to SCP-2145 for more than 6 consecutive days; 
the interval between two successive assignments to 
SCP-2145 must be no less than 14 days. No Foundation 
agent, operative, or employee is to come within 100 m of 
SCP-2145-1, -2, -3, and/or -4. 


Individuals who have had direct "scene"-level 


interactions with SCP-2145-1, -2, -3, and/or -4 are to be 
debriefed, and then to be administered class-A 
amnestics; individuals who are suicidal as a result of 
scene-level interactions are to be tranquilized prior to 
debriefing. 


The actors Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Michael 
Richards, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are to be kept under 
surveillance at all times. In order to prevent the 
possibility of a Pirandello-Malkovich mass consciousness 
overwriting, at no time are any of Seinfeld, Alexander, 
Richards, and/or Louis-Dreyfus to be allowed to come 
within 300 meters of SCP-2145. In the event of any of 
these individuals coming within 2000 meters of 
SCP-2145, their itineraries are to be rerouted via Kerner- 
Leeming traffic manipulation protocols. Moisseiff- 
Eldridge infrastructure sabotage protocols are to be used 
at 1500 m from SCP-2145, Phelps-Poole crowd 
manipulation protocols are to be used at 1000 m, and 
Bardo-Chapman injury protocols are to be used at 

500 m. 


Description: SCP-2145 is the collective term for three individuals, 
and the cadaver of a fourth individual, who have been anomalously 
altered to be exact physical replicas of the primary cast of the 
American situation comedy Seinfeld (1989-1998), as they appeared 
in approximately 1998. SCP-2145-1 is an exact replica of actor Jerry 
Seinfeld, SCP-2145-2 is an exact replica of actor Jason Alexander, 
SCP-2145-3 is an exact replica of actor Michael Richards, and 
SCP-2145-4 was an exact replica of actor Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The 
three living instances do not show any external signs of physical 
aging (other than those which were present on Seinfeld, Alexander, 
and Richards in 1998), and any significant physical modifications will 
gradually revert themselves at a rate proportional to the degree of 
modification. 1

Description: SCP-2145 is the collective term for four 
entities who are exact replicas of the primary cast of the 
American situation comedy Seinfeld (1989-1998) as they 


appeared in approximately 1998, existing separately 
from the actors who portrayed them. SCP-2145-1 is an 
exact replica of actor Jerry Seinfeld (portraying a 
fictionalized version of himself), SCP-2145-2 is an exact 
replica of actor Jason Alexander (portraying "George 
Costanza"), SCP-2145-3 is an exact replica of actor 
Michael Richards (portraying "Cosmo Kramer"), and 
SCP-2145-4 is an exact replica of actor Julia Louis- 
Dreyfus (portraying "Elaine Benes"). 


These entities reside in New York City (the setting of 
Seinfeld episodes) and cause the occurrence of 
"Seinfeld-like" ("SL") events. SL events involve the 
macro-scale modification of probability affecting the 
actions of all individuals within the entities’ immediate 
vicinity (ranging from approximately 30-40 m for each of 
the entities when alone, to approximately 60 m when all 
four entities are together), leading to drastically 
increased rates of coincidence, synchronicity, and 
miscommunication. These rates are increased still 
further for individuals who interact? with the entities; such 
individuals also exhibit behavioral modifications involving 
decreased empathy, malignant narcissism, and general 
amorality. Foundation dramaturges and critical theorists 
have showns that SL events are parametrically 
consistent with the scenarios portrayed in broadcast 
episodes of Seinfeld, and posit that they are 
phenomenologically indistinguishable from "living in the 
show". Medium-level cognitive distortion has also been 
observed to occur, such that affected individuals show 
no awareness of either the fictional characters whose 
appearance SCP-2145 mimics, the television program 
which featured those characters, or the actors who 
portrayed those characters. 


Acquisition log: After the first 22 attempts at containment were 
disrupted by the unexpected range of SCP-2145's anomalous effect 
[see documents 2145-HL2 through -HM-17], the Foundation entered 
into a temporary partnership with the Global Occult Coalition, and 
another with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Unusual Incidents 


Unit; neither of these organizations was made aware of the 
Foundation's cooperation with the other. The rationale for this was 
that, by joining forces with two separate organizations which had 
conflicting intentions towards anomalies, the Foundation would be 
insulated from SCP-2145's manipulation of probability, behavior, 
and cognition. To increase the likelihood of success, Foundation 
personnel deliberately limited the extent to which they were 
available to GOC and UIU agents, such that those agents would be 
encouraged to take action without first consulting Foundation 
liaisons; similarly, information provided to GOC and UIU agents was 
deliberately incomplete, with several important details redacted, 
such that both GOC and UIU agents would be encouraged to make 
fallacious and/or incomplete conclusions regarding the exact nature 
of SCP-2145's anomaly. 


On 17 December 2005, the GOC launched Operation Flamingo, in 
which SCP-2145-1 was codenamed Hyacinth, SCP-2145-2 was 
codenamed Kepler, SCP-2145-3 was codenamed Gooseberry, and 
SCP-2145-4 was codenamed Needlework. This was in direct conflict 
with the UIU's Operation Gooseberry (launched the same day), in 
which SCP-2145-1 was codenamed Needlework, SCP-2145-2 was 
codenamed Flamingo, SCP-2145-3 was codenamed Hyacinth, and 
SCP-2145-4 was codenamed Kepler.4
