Daisy's been combing through your comments and has already selected a dozen that she thinks will make good episodes. But we're always looking for more. That's all for now. Enjoy this week's episode. Yes. The foundation is classified. Thank you. Item number. SCP-2774. Object class. Keter. All images portraying SCP-2774 are to be destroyed upon discovery.
A specialized web crawler is to continuously monitor and scan all forms of online visual media for signs of SCP-2774 and alert recovery personnel upon detection. Teams are assigned to monitor internet and live television for SCP-2774. If detected, recovery teams are to be dispatched immediately. Any personnel exposed to SCP-2774 for more than five seconds are to be issued a Class C anesthetics and temporarily relocated to Site-116.
Due to the nature of 2774, it's recommended that recovery team members and researchers assigned to the anomaly have some form of deuteronomia. Victims of SCP-2774 are to be relocated to Site-116 to act as subjects in the search for a possible cure until one is discovered. Site 116 will serve as a permanent residence for all affected persons. Approval for novel tests on subjects in Site 116 must come from the Ethics Committee in Site Direction.
Subjects kept in Site 116 are to have no direct contact with Foundation personnel, except as approved by Site Administration. Subjects kept at Site-116 are to be allowed two hours a day of social interaction with other subjects in designated areas. As of October 15th, 2010, subjects are no longer permitted to access previously designated areas. or have social contact of any kind. Subjects are to remain isolated in Euclid-level humanoid containment cells until further notice.
Description. SCP-2774 is an unidentified cognohazardous humanoid believed to be wearing a sloth costume. SCP-2774 most frequently manifests in background of visual, non-live media, such as digital images, printed photographs, including those found in magazines and newspapers, and video. To date, no instances of SCP-2774 have been found on the internet.
During an incident in the Canadian territory of Nunavut, SCP-2774 appeared on live television, exposing 4,000 people. All were relocated to Site-116. Instances of SCP-2774 only retain their anomalous properties. if the image contains hues of a red or green. Therefore, those with deuteronomia or other forms of color blindness are not affected by SCP-2774.
The effects of viewing SCP-2774 set in between 40 to 100 hours after exposure. Those affected eventually lose cognitive function and the ability to make higher-level decisions. These symptoms dissipate for a period of 150 seconds, which occurs at random once every 24 hours. The strength of SCP-2774 increases based on the number of people under the anomaly's effect. manifestations of SCP-2774 become more frequent as the number of living victims increase.
After the implementation of protocol XXJ9, new manifestations have dropped significantly. Tests show that including the colorblind, SCP-2774 does not affect a majority of the people who view it. Only 40% of those exposed actually succumb. This percentage is also directly affected by the number of living victims. When under the effect of SCP-2774, victims move slowly, wandering aimlessly through their environment. Reflexes and reaction times are dramatically reduced.
Victims are passive and compliant, answering basic questions and following commands, albeit with the complete lack of emotion. While they appear conscious, victims cannot control their actions in any way during this time. Upon entering their 150 seconds of lucidity, Victims are often highly agitated and fearful that they may act irrational. Subjects are therefore to be considered unstable when conscious, and are not to be approached without taking adequate precaution.
Those affected report no memory loss during periods of cognitive arrest. but they are unable to comprehend the significance of their actions or affect them in any way. Most express dread when they understand their situation. Most of those affected report observing SCP-2774 while under its control. Their perception of other things in reality appears to diminish during that time.
Subjects contained at Site 116 display an affinity to SCP-2774. Art, literature, and effigies of SCP-2774 have been found hoarded in the corners of the subject's room. Such objects were all created while the victims were experiencing cognitive arrest. Such items are to be destroyed and incinerated along with their creation. The following interview with Subject 0866 was conducted by Dr. Clara Chung on September 12, 2010, after confirming the lucidity of the subject. Begin log.
I don't know. Just hurry. I guess it's like being driven around and I'm in the past. I'm stuck there in my own head. I just want to scream, but I can't. For hours and hours, I can't control my body. I can't move my arms or legs or make any sound at all. The hallucinations. The sloth. I just... It's watching us. I can't face it again. I just can't. Don't take this personally, please. I'm sorry. Ah! Let's go. End log. Hi guys, it's Daisy here with your ad break.

Dr. Clara Chung conducted the following interview with subject 7444 on October 1st, 2010. Upon confirming lucidity, begin log. Are you gonna kill me? No, we are going to help you. Now, we have- I don't know what it is. The first few days that you're stuck, it only shows up maybe once, two, three times, I don't know. the time. Nowhere is safe. I see it in the corner of my eye. It's just staring and... I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
If I do, it's going to punish me. The sloth never talks. It never says a word. I feel like I know you're- Act like it so it'll leave me alone. That's what it wants. And everybody- I can see us. I can see it watching us right now. It's there, right behind you. He's just sitting there, looking right at me. And then it starts to scream at me. And I can't cry, or yell for help, or... Claire? Claire, are you alright? Medical! We need assistance!
Approximately four hours after the interview, Dr. Chung submitted a request for permission to euthanize subject 7444 immediately. This request was then denied by Site Director Martin on October 4, 2010. Dr. Clara conducted the following interview with subject 9225 on October 5th, 2010, upon confirming lucidity. Begin log. the sooner we can cure you and everyone else. We don't have much time.
costume it walks around tasks you know it's testing what it can do but I don't know if I'd call it a hallucination It controls us. I don't understand how, but it's happening more and more. Every time more people come here, it's like it can make us do more than it could before. I think that soon it'll be able to make us do a lot more!
In the beginning, it would just do things like moving an arm or a leg or something like that. The last time, it made us fight. You remember that? That was a few days ago. That was the sloth. I could see it. twisting them it's changing too it's becoming darker more Like, after the time! Following this interview, additional security was assigned to Site-116.
Furthermore, an email forwarded to the Ethics Committee from Site Director Martin requested implementation of procedure XXJ-9. The request was approved to... See Addendum Alpha for more information. Addendum Alpha Internal email from Dr. Clara Chung to Site Director Martin Subject Procedure XXJ9 Following the interview of subject 9225, my team and I have drafted protocol XXJ9 in order to help contain SCP-2774. We would begin by pruning the current population of sites.
from approximately 6,400 subjects to 200 by this time. Termination would occur via a lethal dose of pentobarbital administered by Site-116. In addition, task forces in charge of controlling SCP-2774 offsite would be instructed to terminate anyone exposed, instead of transporting them here. We just need approval of the Ethics Committee and we can begin within the week. I recommend making Class A amnestics available to all participants.
Please keep in mind the state of suffering these people are in. This is as much for our benefit as it is for theirs. Regards, Dr. Clara Chung Site 116 by Pacific S. Obadiah and John Grills.
