00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:06.840
Grasping, clawed hands. Slimy&nbsp;
tentacles. Skeletal fists. All&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:06.840 --> 00:00:12.300
reaching out from the dark to claim you.&nbsp;
Is this the monster in the closet? The&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:16.740
beast under the bed? Or the horrors&nbsp;
inside a simple item of clothing?

00:00:16.740 --> 00:00:22.980
It's a sunny Saturday afternoon in the early days&nbsp;
of summer. The sky is a bright, cloudless blue,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:22.980 --> 00:00:27.720
the sun beams down on the crowds of kids&nbsp;
home from school and adults hoping to get&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:32.280
out and soak up a little bit of the cheerful&nbsp;
energy. It isn't just the students enjoying&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.880
the fact that school is out for summer,&nbsp;
either. Teachers are on vacation too.

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:41.280
One particular teacher is enjoying her first&nbsp;
day off in months, taking full advantage of&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:46.080
the free time. She starts the day with coffee&nbsp;
and breakfast, then stops by a local ice cream&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:51.240
shop for a strawberry cone and heads to one&nbsp;
of her favorite summer pastimes: a yard sale.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:55.500
She follows the signs to a driveway&nbsp;
filled with what she just knows will&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:59.700
be hidden gems. They say one person's&nbsp;
trash is another person's treasure,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:59.700 --> 00:01:04.320
and she is the person who considers those&nbsp;
castoffs to be undiscovered treasures.

00:01:05.100 --> 00:01:10.320
She picks through the cardboard boxes of yellowed&nbsp;
books, bags of worn stuffed animals, crooked&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:15.900
shelves, and wooden rocking chairs with paint&nbsp;
peeling off. After picking up the third shoe in a&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:20.460
row that doesn't seem to have a matching partner,&nbsp;
she's beginning to think that this particular yard&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:20.460 --> 00:01:26.700
sale might be a bust. But then, she spots it,&nbsp;
draped over the back of an overstuffed orange&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:26.700 --> 00:01:33.720
couch. It's a coat, made from fine, high-quality&nbsp;
wool. She doesn't have much need for a wool coat&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:37.800
in the Summer, but it looks so nice that she&nbsp;
can't help but pick it up to get a better look.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:44.160
The material is heavy and sturdy in her hands,&nbsp;
smelling faintly of dust the way all true vintage&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:49.440
pieces do. She should know, she found the&nbsp;
beautiful 50s blue linen dress she's wearing&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:49.440 --> 00:01:54.420
right now under similar circumstances. She shakes&nbsp;
out the coat and holds it up to get a better look.

00:01:55.080 --> 00:02:00.060
It's even better than she first thought! It's&nbsp;
a military greatcoat, and it looks a great deal&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:00.060 --> 00:02:04.860
older than it did while slung over the couch.&nbsp;
She'd guess that it's several hundred years old,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:04.860 --> 00:02:09.060
easily. It might be the oldest piece&nbsp;
she's ever seen at a yard sale like this!&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:09.720 --> 00:02:13.440
Surely the owners of this house aren't just&nbsp;
selling this coat, it must be out here by&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:19.200
mistake. A coat like this, with its age and likely&nbsp;
link to military history, could be in a museum!

00:02:20.040 --> 00:02:24.540
She catches the attention of the homeowner, an&nbsp;
older woman showing off a chipped tea set, and&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:24.540 --> 00:02:29.940
calls her over. She asks the old woman about the&nbsp;
coat, wondering where it came from, how old it is,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:29.940 --> 00:02:36.240
and, most importantly, how much does she want for&nbsp;
it? The old woman regards the coat with confusion,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.500
insisting that she's never seen it before in&nbsp;
her life. It didn't belong to her late husband,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:40.500 --> 00:02:45.660
her father, her grandfather, she has no&nbsp;
idea where it came from. If the younger&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:45.660 --> 00:02:50.100
woman likes it so much, she can just pay&nbsp;
five dollars for it and call it a day.

00:02:50.880 --> 00:02:55.200
Thrilled at her good luck, the yard sale&nbsp;
enthusiast hands the old lady a crumpled&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:55.200 --> 00:03:01.740
five-dollar bill, and takes her prize. On the walk&nbsp;
home, she continues examining the coat. No tag,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:01.740 --> 00:03:06.840
no label, nothing to indicate when it was made,&nbsp;
or what army might have used it. She doesn't&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:11.700
recognize it from any particular era or nation.&nbsp;
Between that and the fact that the old lady at&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:11.700 --> 00:03:17.160
the yard sale claimed she had no idea where it&nbsp;
came from, the coat seems to be one big mystery.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:17.160 --> 00:03:22.500
Depending on the angle she looks at it from, it&nbsp;
could be from World War I, or it could be from&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:27.960
the 1600s. She's a history teacher, she should be&nbsp;
able to put her finger on it! But she just can't.

00:03:28.620 --> 00:03:33.600
When she gets home, she rushes upstairs to her&nbsp;
full-length mirror, cranks the air conditioning up&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:33.600 --> 00:03:38.760
- she doesn't want to sweat all over an antique,&nbsp;
after all! - and throws the coat on. Maybe taking&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:38.760 --> 00:03:43.260
a look at the silhouette of the garment on a&nbsp;
person, in this case, herself, will help her&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:43.260 --> 00:03:48.600
make a better estimate of the coat's origin. She&nbsp;
slides an arm into each sleeve, and takes a look.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:48.600 --> 00:03:54.360
Not too bad! Definitely too heavy for summer,&nbsp;
but it's beautifully constructed, and definitely&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:59.340
a genuine historical garment. It's going to&nbsp;
make an amazing addition to her collection of&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:59.340 --> 00:04:03.540
vintage clothes, and in the winter, she'll be&nbsp;
able to stay warm in it on the walk to work!

00:04:03.540 --> 00:04:07.800
She's just about to remove the coat&nbsp;
when she feels someone tap her on the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:11.640
shoulder. She spins around, gasping&nbsp;
in shock. Is someone in the house?!&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:17.820
But when she looks behind her, there's no one&nbsp;
there. She calls out to the empty room, Hello?&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:23.700
Of course, no one answers, and she kicks herself&nbsp;
for acting like the foolish main character in some&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:23.700 --> 00:04:27.960
scary movie. If there's an intruder in the&nbsp;
house, they're not just going to answer her!

00:04:27.960 --> 00:04:32.040
But she can't hear anything, can't see&nbsp;
anywhere an intruder might have hidden&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:36.600
after tapping her shoulder. She must be&nbsp;
imagining things. There's no one here.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:37.320 --> 00:04:41.580
She reaches for one of the coat sleeves again,&nbsp;
and again, there's the feeling of someone tapping&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:41.580 --> 00:04:47.340
her on the shoulder! But this time, it doesn't&nbsp;
stop. The tapping becomes a hand resting on her&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:47.340 --> 00:04:51.900
shoulder, then pushing past her shoulder&nbsp;
and along her arm. She doesn't know how,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:51.900 --> 00:04:56.100
it should be impossible, but the&nbsp;
hand is inside the coat with her.

00:04:56.100 --> 00:05:02.100
She stares into the mirror, mouth open in&nbsp;
shock, as a pale hand pokes out of the arm hole,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:02.100 --> 00:05:07.740
hovering just over her own hand. It wiggles&nbsp;
its fingers, as if giving her a friendly wave.

00:05:07.740 --> 00:05:12.840
Horrified and unable to figure out what else&nbsp;
to do, she yanks the coat off and throws it to&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:12.840 --> 00:05:17.040
the floor. What else do you do when your new&nbsp;
vintage coat starts waving at you with its&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.540
own hands? Looking at the coat lying on the&nbsp;
floor in a heap, it's hard to believe that&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:21.540 --> 00:05:27.300
something so unusual happened only a second&nbsp;
ago. Or did it? That's impossible, it must&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:27.300 --> 00:05:32.340
have been heat exhaustion, or her overactive&nbsp;
imagination. Against her better judgment,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:32.340 --> 00:05:37.500
she picks the coat back up and throws it over&nbsp;
her shoulders again. No sooner has she tugged&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:37.500 --> 00:05:41.400
the sleeves over her arms, then she feels the&nbsp;
presence of something else in the coat with her.

00:05:41.400 --> 00:05:46.200
This time, two hands emerge from the sleeves,&nbsp;
waving at her frantically in the mirror.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:46.740 --> 00:05:50.880
She makes a move to take the coat off again,&nbsp;
but one of the hands gives her a thumbs down,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:56.640
as if begging her not to. Well, what else do&nbsp;
you do when the strange magical coat from the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:56.640 --> 00:06:01.320
yard sale tries to communicate with you using&nbsp;
hands that appeared from nowhere? You listen.

00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:06.360
She tries to ask the hands questions, remembering&nbsp;
the sign language course she took in college,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:10.800
but they don't seem to understand what she's&nbsp;
saying. She asks them if they're the ghost of&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:15.300
a fallen soldier, haunting the coat. She asks&nbsp;
if they can tell her anything about where the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:20.220
coat came from, but all they do is wave.&nbsp;
Maybe that's because they don't have eyes,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:20.220 --> 00:06:24.660
they can't see what she's trying to tell&nbsp;
them. Eventually, the hands seem to give up,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:24.660 --> 00:06:29.100
disappearing back into the lining of the&nbsp;
jacket. She's about to take it off again,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:29.100 --> 00:06:33.600
when she feels something slimy slip up&nbsp;
her back, emerging from the coat's lining.

00:06:34.140 --> 00:06:38.820
It wriggles against her spine like a worm,&nbsp;
before sliding out of the collar and up her&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:38.820 --> 00:06:44.160
cheek. In the mirror, she can see it, though&nbsp;
she wishes she couldn't. It's a tentacle,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:49.800
like that of a massive octopus she once saw at an&nbsp;
aquarium. It suctions to her cheek, and she can't&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:54.600
take it anymore. She needs to get this coat&nbsp;
off, NOW. She begins tugging at the sleeves,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:59.580
pulling it off, turning one of the sleeves inside&nbsp;
out in the process, and the tentacle takes notice.

00:07:00.300 --> 00:07:04.980
It wraps itself around her throat, trying to&nbsp;
hold her inside of the coat, squeezing tighter&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:04.980 --> 00:07:10.020
and tighter. She thrashes, ripping at the fabric&nbsp;
and raking the tentacle with her nails, but it&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:10.020 --> 00:07:13.620
only squeezes tighter and tighter&nbsp;
still, cutting off her air supply.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:14.460 --> 00:07:18.780
Her eyes bulge, her mouth gapes wide,&nbsp;
gasping for air as she fights for her life.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:24.960
The only way to escape is to get the coat off, but&nbsp;
every time she tries, the tentacle only squeezes&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:24.960 --> 00:07:30.780
tighter around her throat. She can feel other&nbsp;
hands, some human, some with sharp claws that dig&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:30.780 --> 00:07:36.600
into her skin, some covered in fur, all grabbing&nbsp;
hold of her and pulling her back into the coat.

00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:41.760
The fight between the woman and the coat full of&nbsp;
arms pulls her to the floor, where she struggles&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:41.760 --> 00:07:46.320
violently, throwing her body back and forth as&nbsp;
she wrestles with the limbs grabbing hold of her.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:46.320 --> 00:07:52.080
She tries to scream, but can't get enough air into&nbsp;
her lungs to make any sound but a pathetic squeak.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:52.080 --> 00:07:57.300
During the struggle, she winds up with the coat&nbsp;
stretched over her head, holding on to her by the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:57.300 --> 00:08:03.540
neck and two arms. She breaks free, and the coat&nbsp;
falls on top of her head like a blanket. And then,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:08:03.540 --> 00:08:09.780
suddenly, where there was once a woman and dozens&nbsp;
of inhuman hands, there is now just a simple wool&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:08:09.780 --> 00:08:16.740
coat lying on the ground in an unassuming pile&nbsp;
of fabric. She is gone, vanished without a trace.

00:08:17.400 --> 00:08:21.960
Meanwhile, across town, an old woman with&nbsp;
a yard sale sign in her yard gets a visit&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:08:21.960 --> 00:08:27.120
from a van full of strange men claiming to be&nbsp;
members of an elite research organization. They&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:31.020
lost something very important, and tracked&nbsp;
it to her simple small-town yard sale.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:08:31.980 --> 00:08:36.060
She gives them the information of the woman who&nbsp;
purchased the missing item, but by the time they&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:08:36.060 --> 00:08:42.000
reach her home, she is gone. No matter, one less&nbsp;
witness to wipe the memory of. They collect the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:48.120
coat, pile into their van, and carry it back to&nbsp;
the SCP Foundation Site it was swiped from. No one&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:54.600
is certain how it left containment, but they're&nbsp;
relieved to once again have custody of SCP-262.

00:08:54.600 --> 00:09:02.640
SCP-262 is a light brown European military-style&nbsp;
greatcoat. A cursory examination of its style led&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:08.580
researchers to estimate its period of origin to be&nbsp;
anywhere from the late 1500s to the early 1900s.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:14.400
Narrowing it down to a smaller window has proven&nbsp;
difficult. The jacket has no specific markings,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:14.400 --> 00:09:18.900
tags, or other designations, causing the&nbsp;
research staff to theorize that it was an&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:18.900 --> 00:09:23.460
original sample design intended to be pitched to&nbsp;
military officials for approval as a new official&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:23.460 --> 00:09:28.920
uniform. Then, it was either lost or rejected,&nbsp;
resulting in it never being put into wider use.

00:09:28.920 --> 00:09:33.960
The coat is made of wool, and is cut to fall&nbsp;
below the knee on most individuals who wear&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:38.940
it. Attempts at carbon dating the fibers of the&nbsp;
coat have been inconclusive, and, contrary to the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:38.940 --> 00:09:45.840
apparent visual style of the coat, places the age&nbsp;
of the wool at around 6,200 to 6,400 years old.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:46.680 --> 00:09:51.660
The wool itself is thousands of years old, while&nbsp;
the coat itself was made more recently. Of course,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:51.660 --> 00:09:55.560
the uncertain age of the coat is far&nbsp;
from its only anomalous property.

00:09:56.220 --> 00:10:01.620
SCP-262 is able to manifest a number&nbsp;
of arms from its dark inner lining.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:06.780
Any subject wearing the coat may open it in&nbsp;
order to materialize hands and arms from within.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:07.380 --> 00:10:12.840
These arms are, at least some of the time, under&nbsp;
the control of the wearer. These limbs can vary&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:17.700
widely in skin tone, length, and strength.&nbsp;
Some of the arms observed since the item&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:17.700 --> 00:10:23.340
came into Foundation custody include: a reptilian&nbsp;
scaled tentacle approximately 13 feet in length,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:23.340 --> 00:10:30.660
four semi-transparent cellulose appendages over&nbsp;
33 feet long, with four fingers, two elbow-like&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:30.660 --> 00:10:36.780
joints, and no apparent wrists, the clawed paw&nbsp;
of a large predatory cat, resembling a cougar&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:36.780 --> 00:10:41.640
or mountain lion, as well as a wide variety&nbsp;
of feet and legs that manifest at random.

00:10:41.640 --> 00:10:47.160
The space within SCP-262's lining is&nbsp;
regarded as non-Euclidean in nature,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:47.160 --> 00:10:53.040
and the coat itself is considered a link to an&nbsp;
extra-dimensional space. During initial testing,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:53.040 --> 00:10:59.400
subject 402M was asked to put SCP-262 over&nbsp;
his head in order to see what would happen.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:59.400 --> 00:11:06.120
When he did so, the coat promptly fell to the&nbsp;
ground in a heap as 402M vanished beneath it.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:11:06.780 --> 00:11:11.400
Several months later, fingerprint analysis&nbsp;
of an object handled by a human arm that&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:11:11.400 --> 00:11:16.860
appeared from within the coat identified&nbsp;
that arm as belonging to subject 402M.

00:11:16.860 --> 00:11:21.300
This incident suggests that some, if&nbsp;
not all, of the limbs within the coat&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:11:21.300 --> 00:11:26.460
belong to beings trapped inside the coat's&nbsp;
extradimensional space. Wearing the coat&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:11:26.460 --> 00:11:30.540
in an ordinary manner does not result in the&nbsp;
subject disappearing into the space within.

00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:36.780
Subjects wearing SCP-262 as intended - one arm&nbsp;
through each sleeve, the coat across the back,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:11:36.780 --> 00:11:40.560
you've presumably worn a coat before&nbsp;
and know what I'm describing here - find&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:43.500
themselves able to manipulate the&nbsp;
arms that emanate from within.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:50.820
The amount of control the subject has over these&nbsp;
limbs varies. For instance, test subject 301F was&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:55.260
able to multitask while blindfolded, navigating&nbsp;
her environment in such a way that seemed to&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:11:55.260 --> 00:12:01.380
indicate some degree of awareness of surroundings&nbsp;
on the part of SCP-262. The coat seems to maintain&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:12:01.380 --> 00:12:05.640
this awareness even when the person wearing&nbsp;
it cannot see or hear anything around them.

00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:12.120
Some members of the research team believe that&nbsp;
SCP-262 is fully sentient. They arrived at this&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:17.340
conclusion after witnessing SCP-262: playing a&nbsp;
piano with two or more hands, even though the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:12:17.340 --> 00:12:21.840
test subject wearing it had no musical training,&nbsp;
defending itself and its subject from multiple&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:26.100
attackers, several of the limbs fighting each&nbsp;
other or defying the will of the subject.

00:12:26.760 --> 00:12:30.660
The Foundation first acquired the coat when&nbsp;
the Administrator relinquished ownership of&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:12:30.660 --> 00:12:34.380
it in the late 20th century. The&nbsp;
Administrator, due to his status,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:12:34.380 --> 00:12:38.340
is not required to disclose the origins&nbsp;
of the coat, or what he might have done&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:12:38.340 --> 00:12:43.800
with it in the past. All he said about the coat&nbsp;
upon parting with it was: "In the right hands,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:12:43.800 --> 00:12:50.580
it could be extremely useful. In the wrong hands,&nbsp;
it could be extremely dangerous. In my hands,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:12:50.580 --> 00:12:55.080
it was becoming extremely dusty and moth-ridden&nbsp;
and taking up far too much space in my closet."

00:12:55.680 --> 00:13:01.020
Additional research notes were attached to&nbsp;
the SCP-262 file. After perusing these notes,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:01.020 --> 00:13:03.360
I compiled the most interesting findings for&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.900
further review. I hope you will find&nbsp;
them as thought-provoking as I have.

00:13:07.620 --> 00:13:12.960
During Trial 7, Subject 722M was&nbsp;
instructed to put the coat on properly,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:18.180
then turn the right arm sleeve inside-out as he&nbsp;
removed his arm from the garment. When he did,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:18.180 --> 00:13:21.780
a chorus of disembodied voices&nbsp;
began to cry out in pain.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:22.740 --> 00:13:29.400
In spite of this, 722M was ordered to continue&nbsp;
inverting the sleeve. At this point, several arms&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:29.400 --> 00:13:34.380
emerged from the lining of SCP-262 and attacked&nbsp;
the test subject in apparent self-defense.

00:13:35.220 --> 00:13:41.220
Subject 722M attempted to retract his arm from the&nbsp;
coat, but in the process of doing so, he inverted&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:47.160
the sleeve further. This pushed the coat too far,&nbsp;
and a long, cellulitic arm emerged from the inner&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:47.160 --> 00:13:52.260
lining of the opposite side, reached around and&nbsp;
up through the inverted sleeve, grabbed hold of&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:52.260 --> 00:13:58.620
722M's hand, and gave it a violent yank. The force&nbsp;
of this pull was enough to dislocate the subject's&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:58.620 --> 00:14:03.120
shoulder and injure him severely. Once the coat&nbsp;
had returned itself to its preferred position,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:09.720
the chorus of voices silenced, and the arms&nbsp;
retreated out of sight. Subject 722M was removed&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:14.520
from the coat and given medical attention. His&nbsp;
current condition is noted as "inconsequential."

00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:21.600
During Case Study 262-42, SCP-262&nbsp;
was placed on a mannequin. First,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:26.940
SCP-262 was placed on an anatomically-correct&nbsp;
male mannequin, dressed in attire consistent&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:14:26.940 --> 00:14:32.940
with an average SCP Foundation personnel. After a&nbsp;
few minutes passed, one single human arm stretched&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:14:32.940 --> 00:14:37.560
out of the inner lining of the coat, reaching&nbsp;
up to touch the mannequin's face. It poked&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:14:37.560 --> 00:14:42.540
and prodded the face curiously a few times, then&nbsp;
retreated out of sight and did not emerge again.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:49.140
The following day, researchers placed SCP-262 over&nbsp;
the head and shoulders of another male mannequin.

00:14:49.680 --> 00:14:55.200
After a few moments, the coat collapsed to the&nbsp;
ground, and the entire test mannequin disappeared.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:14:55.920 --> 00:15:00.360
An added research note revealed that a wooden&nbsp;
arm, resembling that of the test mannequin,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:05.040
was spotted emerging from SCP-262 on&nbsp;
several occasions following the trial.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:05.580 --> 00:15:09.360
This further confirms the hypothesis&nbsp;
that the limbs inside of the coat&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:12.180
originate from entities that&nbsp;
were somehow trapped inside.

00:15:13.140 --> 00:15:18.300
During Case Study 262-307, research&nbsp;
staff attempted to observe the behavior&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:18.300 --> 00:15:22.620
of SCP-262 when placed on the body&nbsp;
of a recently deceased human being.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:23.400 --> 00:15:27.840
After a Class-D personnel was terminated&nbsp;
during an experiment with an undisclosed SCP,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:33.060
the body was placed on a chair in a seated&nbsp;
position. The coat was then placed on the body.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:33.660 --> 00:15:39.300
After several moments, a human arm emerged&nbsp;
from the lining of SCP-262, reaching toward&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:39.300 --> 00:15:44.340
the corpse's face. It poked at the face a few&nbsp;
times before disappearing back into the coat.

00:15:44.880 --> 00:15:49.800
A few minutes passed, and then the body&nbsp;
began to shake violently. A popping and&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:49.800 --> 00:15:53.640
snapping sound could be heard, and the hands,&nbsp;
which had been poking out of the sleeves,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:53.640 --> 00:15:59.040
vanished from view. The body then went still&nbsp;
again, and a human hand reached up the back&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:59.040 --> 00:16:02.700
of its neck, coming from the collar, and&nbsp;
pulled the head into an upright position.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:03.660 --> 00:16:07.860
Then, an array of other hands and arms&nbsp;
crisscrossed over the chest and abdomen,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:07.860 --> 00:16:14.040
straightening the body's posture. As the research&nbsp;
staff watched, two arms, cellulitic in nature,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:14.040 --> 00:16:19.200
grabbed the ankles and legs, pulling the&nbsp;
body up into a standing position. Even more&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:24.480
arms came down each sleeve. The coat's limbs&nbsp;
worked as a combined unit to pilot the body,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:28.740
and managed to escape from the observation room&nbsp;
and overpower the security stationed outside.

00:16:29.580 --> 00:16:35.520
SCP-262 continued to pilot the corpse through the&nbsp;
Foundation Site. attempting to break out. Guided&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:35.520 --> 00:16:40.020
by exceptionally strong limbs, the animated body&nbsp;
was able to knock security guards out of the way,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:40.020 --> 00:16:45.480
even seizing a weapon from one of them, resulting&nbsp;
in several casualties. Who knows what might have&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:50.100
happened if MTF Epsilon-9, the "Fire Eaters"&nbsp;
hadn't been in the building at the time?&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:50.760 --> 00:16:55.800
It's possible that SCP-262 might have escaped&nbsp;
the facility altogether, making its way into&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:55.800 --> 00:17:00.300
the general population. Using their flame&nbsp;
accelerators as aggressively as possible,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:00.300 --> 00:17:04.680
the MTF members managed to corner&nbsp;
SCP-262 at the far side of a hallway.

00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:10.740
With nowhere to turn, SCP-262 resorted to an&nbsp;
emergency escape plan. One of the hands from&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:15.240
within the coat pulled the garment up, and&nbsp;
over the head of the corpse it was piloting.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:19.680
SCP-262 collapsed to the ground, the&nbsp;
body vanishing beneath it and leaving&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:24.060
the Mobile Task Force without a target.&nbsp;
At this point, it is unknown whether this&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:24.060 --> 00:17:28.920
escape attempt was driven by the will of&nbsp;
SCP-262 itself or some sort of residual&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:32.760
consciousness from the body of the deceased&nbsp;
Class-D personnel used in the experiment.

00:17:32.760 --> 00:17:38.160
At this point in time, SCP-262 is under review,&nbsp;
and additional research to see if it could&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:42.360
be useful to field agents attempting&nbsp;
to contain other SCPs. At this time,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:42.360 --> 00:17:47.700
agents are not permitted to use SCP-262 without&nbsp;
supervision by a staff member with commander-level&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:47.700 --> 00:17:53.520
authority. Whenever SCP-262 is not in use, it&nbsp;
is to be kept in a climate-controlled room at an&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:53.520 --> 00:17:58.620
undisclosed Foundation Site, guarded by at least&nbsp;
two Level-2 Security personnel at any given time.

00:17:58.620 --> 00:18:04.320
It is unlikely that SCP-262 will make its way&nbsp;
back into the general population any time soon,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:18:04.320 --> 00:18:09.420
unless it finds itself in possession of a&nbsp;
wearer willing to help it get there. Still,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:18:09.420 --> 00:18:13.860
if you ever happen to be browsing a thrift shop&nbsp;
or yard sale, and happen upon a vintage military&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:18:13.860 --> 00:18:19.620
jacket that entices you to try it on, do so&nbsp;
with caution. You might find yourself in need&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:18:19.620 --> 00:18:24.780
of some help. Though, you won't need anyone&nbsp;
to lend a hand. You'll have plenty of those.
