00:00:06.689 --> 00:00:07.890 the room from her. 00:00:07.890 --> 00:00:11.570 She’s been coming to see him for several months now, but she doesn’t feel like she’s 00:00:11.570 --> 00:00:13.750 made progress on any of her issues. 00:00:13.750 --> 00:00:17.939 The man listens and nods as he jots down some notes on his pad of paper. 00:00:17.939 --> 00:00:20.749 He has something he wants to discuss with her. 00:00:20.749 --> 00:00:24.679 She may feel as though she’s run out of options, but there is one other thing they 00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:25.679 could try. 00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.450 He’s seen lots of success using this with his other patients, though it’s a technique 00:00:29.450 --> 00:00:33.230 that many would deem to be rather unconventional. 00:00:33.230 --> 00:00:37.970 The woman is unsure, “unconventional techniques” don’t exactly instill her with confidence. 00:00:37.970 --> 00:00:41.650 But at this point, what did she have to lose? 00:00:41.650 --> 00:00:44.560 The man stands up and motions for the woman to follow him. 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:48.390 He leads her out of his office to a section of his practice that she’s never seen before 00:00:48.390 --> 00:00:51.050 where they stop in front of a closed door. 00:00:51.050 --> 00:00:55.020 On the door is a window covered by a curtain and she notices that there are a set of strong 00:00:55.020 --> 00:00:56.680 locks as well. 00:00:56.680 --> 00:01:01.210 He unlocks the door and ushers her inside where she finds that it is a small room, maybe 00:01:01.210 --> 00:01:05.890 10 feet across at most, with thick padding on the floor and walls, and bright white lights 00:01:05.890 --> 00:01:07.640 set into the ceiling. 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.259 He tells her to wait there just a moment and to “make herself comfortable” before he 00:01:11.259 --> 00:01:12.530 excuses himself. 00:01:12.530 --> 00:01:16.770 The woman looks around at the padded room, wondering just what it is that she’s agreed 00:01:16.770 --> 00:01:17.770 to. 00:01:17.770 --> 00:01:22.170 The man returns and now he’s holding something… a garment bag. 00:01:22.170 --> 00:01:26.960 He unzips it to reveal a dark piece of clothing inside, but when he takes it out, she sees 00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:30.820 now that it isn’t clothing at all, at least not any normal kind… 00:01:30.820 --> 00:01:32.979 It's a straightjacket. 00:01:32.979 --> 00:01:36.889 The woman is scared, unsure if she wants to go through with this and he does his best 00:01:36.889 --> 00:01:38.039 to put her at ease. 00:01:38.039 --> 00:01:42.119 If she’s uncomfortable she certainly doesn’t have to do anything she doesn’t want to, 00:01:42.119 --> 00:01:46.420 but he reiterates that he has had great results using this with some of his other patients. 00:01:46.420 --> 00:01:48.619 It’s been something of a miracle cure. 00:01:48.619 --> 00:01:51.190 Well no, cure is the wrong word. 00:01:51.190 --> 00:01:54.609 He corrects himself and explains that this won’t “cure” her in the way that she’s 00:01:54.609 --> 00:01:58.470 probably thinking, but rather what he’s found is that this therapy is able to provide 00:01:58.470 --> 00:02:02.889 a momentary relief from symptoms, a chance to see what life is like without being plagued 00:02:02.889 --> 00:02:05.560 by the issues that have led her to seek his help. 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.990 Once she has gotten a glimpse at what life is like without these burdens, they can work 00:02:08.990 --> 00:02:12.760 towards bringing her back to that point through other therapies and techniques. 00:02:12.760 --> 00:02:16.860 This might be just the breakthrough she needs to finally make something work. 00:02:16.860 --> 00:02:20.739 The woman is still skeptical but she is desperate to find anything that will help her escape 00:02:20.739 --> 00:02:24.420 the thoughts constantly plaguing her mind so that she can get back to being the person 00:02:24.420 --> 00:02:29.920 she wants to be, and after a moment of thought, she agrees to go through with the procedure. 00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:33.650 The therapist tells the woman to hold her arms out in front of her and places the straightjacket 00:02:33.650 --> 00:02:34.650 on her. 00:02:34.650 --> 00:02:38.810 She can see and feel now that it is made of black leather, and it fits her perfectly, 00:02:38.810 --> 00:02:40.810 almost as if it were made just for her. 00:02:40.810 --> 00:02:45.730 She turns around and he pulls the straps tight before fastening them in place. 00:02:45.730 --> 00:02:49.280 The woman, standing in the small padded room and fully constrained by the black leather 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.550 straightjacket, turns to the man and asks “now what?” 00:02:52.550 --> 00:02:56.290 “Now we wait,” he tells her, before backing out of the room. 00:02:56.290 --> 00:02:57.290 “A warning though -” 00:02:57.290 --> 00:02:58.730 “Now a warning?” 00:02:58.730 --> 00:02:59.810 she says. 00:02:59.810 --> 00:03:01.159 “This is a one-off procedure. 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.730 You can only do it once,” he tells her before closing the door. 00:03:04.730 --> 00:03:07.469 She’s confused, is this the procedure? 00:03:07.469 --> 00:03:09.069 He’s locking her in a cell? 00:03:09.069 --> 00:03:10.760 What is going on. 00:03:10.760 --> 00:03:12.420 She never should have agreed to this. 00:03:12.420 --> 00:03:16.280 Her mind starts to race, filling with bad thoughts, and they get even worse when the 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.230 lights suddenly go out. 00:03:18.230 --> 00:03:22.580 She starts to panic, breathing heavily in the dark from both fear and from being constricted 00:03:22.580 --> 00:03:23.900 by the leather straightjacket. 00:03:23.900 --> 00:03:28.280 She calls out that she has changed her mind, she doesn’t want to do this after all. 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:29.349 No response. 00:03:29.349 --> 00:03:33.040 She’s serious, she wants to end this right now and leave the room. 00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:35.609 It isn’t working, it’s actually making her feel worse. 00:03:35.609 --> 00:03:40.000 All the fears and anxieties that plague nearly every moment of her life come rushing in at 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:41.000 once. 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:45.140 Her mind races as she can feel all the tell tale signs of a panic attack starting, a million 00:03:45.140 --> 00:03:49.060 little issues pulling her apart at the seams, leaving her stretched out and helpless to 00:03:49.060 --> 00:03:50.849 do anything to stop it. 00:03:50.849 --> 00:03:53.610 But then suddenly, there’s a change. 00:03:53.610 --> 00:03:59.280 Like a cool breeze blowing across her face, the feelings of hopelessness and despair start 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:00.280 to dissipate. 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.730 Her anxieties feel as though they are melting away into the dark, leaving her with only 00:04:03.730 --> 00:04:05.659 the comforting embrace of the straightjacket. 00:04:05.659 --> 00:04:12.480 It isn’t that she feels happy necessarily, she simply feels… normal. 00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:14.480 Content with herself and her situation. 00:04:14.480 --> 00:04:18.570 It’s an incredible feeling and she basks in the joy of not feeling bad. 00:04:18.570 --> 00:04:23.650 She doesn’t know how long she’s in the dark room feeling content, minutes, maybe 00:04:23.650 --> 00:04:24.790 hours? 00:04:24.790 --> 00:04:27.710 But eventually the door opens and the lights come on. 00:04:27.710 --> 00:04:29.830 Her session is over. 00:04:29.830 --> 00:04:32.790 She leaves the office with a new perspective on life. 00:04:32.790 --> 00:04:37.880 Most of the feelings of satisfaction have already, but still, she feels renewed, ready 00:04:37.880 --> 00:04:42.389 to tackle her issues so she can feel what she felt in the straightjacket again, so she 00:04:42.389 --> 00:04:44.250 can feel normal. 00:04:44.250 --> 00:04:48.949 By the next day though, her new lease on life is completely gone, and she is on the phone 00:04:48.949 --> 00:04:52.390 with the man pleading with him to let her come in immediately and wear the straightjacket 00:04:52.390 --> 00:04:53.390 again. 00:04:53.390 --> 00:04:58.020 He warned her though that it’s a one off procedure, too much exposure is dangerous. 00:04:58.020 --> 00:05:00.590 She needs to focus on other treatments instead. 00:05:00.590 --> 00:05:03.130 The woman only wants to come wear it for a little bit though. 00:05:03.130 --> 00:05:05.240 Just a few minutes to feel that way again. 00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.720 He tells her it’s impossible though. 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.639 She should be happy it was so successful and move on to new techniques. 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.430 And besides, he’s leaving for a conference and won’t be back for a week. 00:05:14.430 --> 00:05:16.660 They can discuss things again when he gets back. 00:05:16.660 --> 00:05:21.130 It’s raining that night as a figure in a dark coat breaks the glass on the front door 00:05:21.130 --> 00:05:22.910 and reaches through to unlock the door. 00:05:22.910 --> 00:05:26.870 The woman enters the office and hangs her wet jacket on the wall. 00:05:26.870 --> 00:05:29.840 Her flashlight illuminates the room they have their sessions in. 00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:31.229 No one is there. 00:05:31.229 --> 00:05:35.020 She walks deeper into the building and spots the door to the padded room. 00:05:35.020 --> 00:05:39.819 She passes by and goes even further to a backroom that she’s never been in before. 00:05:39.819 --> 00:05:43.430 In the room, against a wall, is a metal trunk. 00:05:43.430 --> 00:05:47.340 She opens it to find the dark garment bag with the leather straightjacket inside. 00:05:47.340 --> 00:05:50.150 “What do you want me to do again?” 00:05:50.150 --> 00:05:51.320 the young man asks. 00:05:51.320 --> 00:05:54.630 He was just supposed to be delivering a pizza, and his boss would be angry to learn that 00:05:54.630 --> 00:05:56.190 he allowed a customer to invite him in. 00:05:56.190 --> 00:06:00.350 “This is my office,” she tells him, “and I’m working on some new techniques for my 00:06:00.350 --> 00:06:04.120 patients, but I need to try them out myself first, that makes sense, right?” 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.039 “Well sure, I guess,” he responds. 00:06:07.039 --> 00:06:09.320 “But for this particular one, I need some help. 00:06:09.320 --> 00:06:11.980 It’s a secret though so I can’t get any of my colleagues to help me. 00:06:11.980 --> 00:06:14.090 But you can help me, right?” 00:06:14.090 --> 00:06:18.430 The young man nervously swallows the soda she’s given him and nods in agreement. 00:06:18.430 --> 00:06:22.139 She explains that all he has to do is help her tighten the straightjacket, close the 00:06:22.139 --> 00:06:24.379 door, turn off the lights, and listen. 00:06:24.379 --> 00:06:29.270 In a little while when she’s finished, she’ll ask him to come inside and take it off her. 00:06:29.270 --> 00:06:30.590 That’s it. 00:06:30.590 --> 00:06:34.819 The young man still seems a little weary of the request, “what happened to your door?” 00:06:34.819 --> 00:06:39.540 he asks but she ignores his question and pushes a wad of cash into his hand. 00:06:39.540 --> 00:06:44.110 The young man shuts the door to the padded cell and a moment later the lights go out. 00:06:44.110 --> 00:06:47.889 The woman is almost immediately taken back to the same mental place she was before. 00:06:47.889 --> 00:06:52.160 All of the thoughts that constantly repeat in her mind, the ones that she's never able 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:54.870 to turn off suddenly go quiet. 00:06:54.870 --> 00:06:58.370 She sighs with relief in her dark, safe space. 00:06:58.370 --> 00:07:00.930 But then she feels something. 00:07:00.930 --> 00:07:03.970 Not in her mind but on her face. 00:07:03.970 --> 00:07:04.970 A twitch. 00:07:04.970 --> 00:07:06.580 Just a little facial spasm. 00:07:06.580 --> 00:07:07.580 But then another. 00:07:07.580 --> 00:07:08.740 There’s something wrong. 00:07:08.740 --> 00:07:12.240 Her face suddenly feels very tight, like it’s being stretched. 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:16.479 Her eyes grow wide, her mouth pulls into an unintentional sneer. 00:07:16.479 --> 00:07:19.990 The young man hears the woman’s muffled cries from inside the room and opens the door, 00:07:19.990 --> 00:07:24.940 but what he sees causes him to emit his own scream before he turns and runs out of the 00:07:24.940 --> 00:07:26.770 office into the stormy night. 00:07:26.770 --> 00:07:31.570 “What the heck?” the man thinks as he looks at the broken window on his office door. 00:07:31.570 --> 00:07:35.710 He enters to see that the door is still unlocked and that there’s glass on the floor inside. 00:07:35.710 --> 00:07:40.810 He walks inside his office and looks around and doesn’t see anything, but in an instant 00:07:40.810 --> 00:07:43.060 there’s a moment of realization. 00:07:43.060 --> 00:07:45.910 He runs to the back, to the door to the padded cell. 00:07:45.910 --> 00:07:48.720 The door to the room is ajar and he listens. 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:50.629 Is that… breathing inside? 00:07:50.629 --> 00:07:54.639 He opens the door to the dark cell and turns on the light. 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:58.930 The black leather straightjacket is sitting in the middle of the floor, except it isn’t 00:07:58.930 --> 00:08:00.670 the floor anymore. 00:08:00.670 --> 00:08:05.950 Now instead, a stretched layer of skin is spread across the padded room, with the outline 00:08:05.950 --> 00:08:07.479 of flattened bones visible underneath. 00:08:07.479 --> 00:08:12.669 The man’s mind can’t comprehend what it is that he’s looking at, but then he sees 00:08:12.669 --> 00:08:13.669 it. 00:08:13.669 --> 00:08:17.889 In the far corner of the room, is the stretched out face of the woman, her eyelids pulled 00:08:17.889 --> 00:08:20.879 too tight to blink, leaving her eyes staring up at him. 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.090 Through a stretched, contorted mouth she whispers… 00:08:24.090 --> 00:08:26.150 “Help me.” 00:08:26.150 --> 00:08:29.870 Is there anything crueler than an object that is able to treat your mental health issues, 00:08:29.870 --> 00:08:33.550 yet has some of the most devastating side effects imaginable? 00:08:33.550 --> 00:08:35.419 In this humble doctor’s opinion… 00:08:35.419 --> 00:08:36.419 no. 00:08:36.419 --> 00:08:40.130 And today’s anomaly is just such an object. 00:08:40.130 --> 00:08:43.360 Designated SCP-482 it is perhaps better known… 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.090 as the Mentally Mutating Straitjacket. 00:08:46.090 --> 00:08:51.180 SCP-482 is a black leather straightjacket that is quite similar in appearance and construction 00:08:51.180 --> 00:08:55.510 to a mass produced version, though as you’ll see, it is completely unique. 00:08:55.510 --> 00:08:59.040 Although the straightjacket is comparable in size to other “medium” sized versions, 00:08:59.040 --> 00:09:03.390 it is somehow able to fit virtually any and all body types and sizes. 00:09:03.390 --> 00:09:09.790 A tag inside contains the words “Made in Tsiao-yan / Hand Wash Only / No Aserejena 00:09:09.790 --> 00:09:15.029 Powder” in faded text, though neither the city nor “Aserejena powder” appear to 00:09:15.029 --> 00:09:20.070 exist in any records that the SCP Foundation has been able to locate. 00:09:20.070 --> 00:09:24.800 There are no signs of wear on SCP-482, but there are several cuts on the straps that 00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:29.040 cinch the garment closed, and testing has shown that it is able to be further damaged, 00:09:29.040 --> 00:09:32.950 though any additional investigations of the extent to which it can be damaged have been 00:09:32.950 --> 00:09:35.750 suspended due to the lack of viable duplicates. 00:09:35.750 --> 00:09:41.580 The real anomalous effects of SCP-482 occur when the straightjacket is worn, and the two 00:09:41.580 --> 00:09:46.370 main effects, which occur one after the other, have been designated as Time Point Alpha and 00:09:46.370 --> 00:09:48.200 Time Point Alpha Beta. 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:53.550 Time Point Alpha is used to refer to the initial stage of a subject wearing SCP-482, and can 00:09:53.550 --> 00:09:59.190 last a varied period of time, though it is most often between one and six hours of wear. 00:09:59.190 --> 00:10:03.060 During this period, the subject will report feeling “mentally better” and any negative 00:10:03.060 --> 00:10:07.590 mental afflictions that they suffer from or are forced to deal with will appear to disappear 00:10:07.590 --> 00:10:09.010 completely. 00:10:09.010 --> 00:10:13.130 Additionally any medications they may be on will have their effects negated entirely, 00:10:13.130 --> 00:10:17.370 leading to them returning a result on Foundation standard psychological tests that is consistent 00:10:17.370 --> 00:10:19.020 with a baseline mentally stable individual. 00:10:19.020 --> 00:10:26.040 The effects of Time Point Alpha are temporary, and once the subject is separated from SCP-482, 00:10:26.040 --> 00:10:29.649 any mental illnesses they are living with will be seen to return, though they will disappear 00:10:29.649 --> 00:10:32.100 once more if the straightjacket is worn again. 00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:36.790 However, the amount of time a subject spends experiencing the effects of Time Point Alpha 00:10:36.790 --> 00:10:41.530 are cumulative, and given enough time inside of the straightjacket they will always eventually 00:10:41.530 --> 00:10:45.070 reach the second stage of SCP-482. 00:10:45.070 --> 00:10:49.530 Time Point Beta refers to the subsequent time period that passes if a subject is still wearing 00:10:49.530 --> 00:10:53.240 SCP-482 once Time Point Alpha lapses. 00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:57.850 During this period, the changes to the subject will no longer be mental, and instead they 00:10:57.850 --> 00:11:00.420 will begin to experience physical effects. 00:11:00.420 --> 00:11:04.399 The exact nature of the physical changes will vary, though they do seem to be related in 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:08.360 some way to the subject’s own mental health issue, with the degree of the change also 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.529 seemingly related to the severity of their issue. 00:11:11.529 --> 00:11:16.220 Through the testing of SCP-482 by Foundation researchers on D Class Personnel, a number 00:11:16.220 --> 00:11:20.720 of different manifestations of the straightjacket’s anomalous effects have been documented and 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.240 they’re recorded in a file designated Experiment Log SCP-482. 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:29.660 In the first test, a male D Class diagnosed with schizophrenia was placed inside of the 00:11:29.660 --> 00:11:30.660 leather straightjacket. 00:11:30.660 --> 00:11:35.139 He immediately reported feeling “eerily calm” and he was observed to simply sit 00:11:35.139 --> 00:11:39.790 and stare at the wall with a blank expression for 2 hours and 49 minutes, a period which 00:11:39.790 --> 00:11:43.139 was later determined to be his Time Point Alpha. 00:11:43.139 --> 00:11:47.481 Time Point Beta began one minute later at 2 hours and 50 minutes when the subject’s 00:11:47.481 --> 00:11:52.079 body began to contort and he remarked that he was in a great deal of pain. 00:11:52.079 --> 00:11:56.209 Various parts of the subject's body began to increase in mass and size, including his 00:11:56.209 --> 00:11:59.260 head, as his eyes began to bulge out. 00:11:59.260 --> 00:12:03.449 He called in agony while attempting to make eye contact with the researchers who were 00:12:03.449 --> 00:12:08.910 observing through a glass viewing window for 34 minutes until a termination order was given. 00:12:08.910 --> 00:12:12.380 Subsequent examination of the subject’s body revealed that his body mass had increased 00:12:12.380 --> 00:12:16.620 by roughly 180% due to rapid bone and muscle growth. 00:12:16.620 --> 00:12:21.389 It’s unclear what physical process caused this, though genetic tests showed that his 00:12:21.389 --> 00:12:24.610 DNA had abnormally shortened telomere strands. 00:12:24.610 --> 00:12:28.720 The observers also reported they experienced an unnatural feeling that rendered them unable 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:33.209 to move in a normal manner while the subject was making eye contact with them. 00:12:33.209 --> 00:12:37.630 For the second test, another male D class, though one who had been diagnosed with a paranoid 00:12:37.630 --> 00:12:41.040 personality disorder, was placed in the straightjacket. 00:12:41.040 --> 00:12:45.899 During his Alpha exposure, he reported a satisfying “quiet in his head” with none of the disembodied 00:12:45.899 --> 00:12:49.310 voices that normally plagued his thoughts speaking to him. 00:12:49.310 --> 00:12:53.139 He still appeared content after two hours and was taken out of the suit, though after 00:12:53.139 --> 00:12:58.500 requesting to be placed back inside, was allowed to return to wearing SCP-482. 00:12:58.500 --> 00:13:03.540 After an additional 1 hour and 30 minutes though, the Beta exposure began. 00:13:03.540 --> 00:13:07.670 Visible bulges appeared on his neck and shoulders and after four minutes, he began screaming 00:13:07.670 --> 00:13:11.670 for someone to “stop talking” and “get out of [his] head.” 00:13:11.670 --> 00:13:15.410 More bulges appeared on his body and audio recording equipment in the room picked up 00:13:15.410 --> 00:13:20.310 mysterious sounds that analysis has revealed to have been as many as seven distinct voices 00:13:20.310 --> 00:13:21.471 speaking in an unknown language. 00:13:21.471 --> 00:13:27.040 The termination order was issued twenty five minutes later and a later autopsy revealed 00:13:27.040 --> 00:13:31.500 that each bulge actually contained a fully formed mouth and voice box. 00:13:31.500 --> 00:13:35.680 Observing researchers also reported that during the test, they had seen flashes of movement 00:13:35.680 --> 00:13:39.410 in their peripheral vision, and subsequent review of the taped footage revealed small 00:13:39.410 --> 00:13:43.380 shadows appearing and disappearing in the room throughout the test. 00:13:43.380 --> 00:13:47.480 Next up was a female D class who had been diagnosed with Hyperphagia, which is a disorder 00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:51.920 that can cause an extreme increase in appetite and can remove the ability to satiate one's 00:13:51.920 --> 00:13:52.920 hunger. 00:13:52.920 --> 00:13:58.279 Upon being placed in SCP-482, she remarked that “for the first time ever, I am actually 00:13:58.279 --> 00:13:59.440 full.” 00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:03.800 She felt this way for an hour and 58 minutes, after which she began to feel a pain in her 00:14:03.800 --> 00:14:04.800 abdomen. 00:14:04.800 --> 00:14:08.459 The D class fell into the fetal position as the pain increased, and her limbs were observed 00:14:08.459 --> 00:14:13.290 to begin retracting into her body, accompanied by loud snapping sounds as presumably the 00:14:13.290 --> 00:14:15.270 bones started to crack and break. 00:14:15.270 --> 00:14:18.660 “Oh god it's eating me oh god it hurts!” 00:14:18.660 --> 00:14:21.839 she cried out, and a termination order was immediately issued. 00:14:21.839 --> 00:14:25.600 The autopsy that followed revealed that the woman’s body had somehow formed a second 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:30.120 digestive system that had begun to consume her own body mass, and if left unchecked, 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.910 would have eventually digested it in its entirety. 00:14:33.910 --> 00:14:37.759 Following this test, the observing researchers reported that they were unable to satisfy 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.730 their own hunger cravings with normal amounts of food, and several of them actually had 00:14:41.730 --> 00:14:45.260 to be restrained by security staff in the on-site cafeteria. 00:14:45.260 --> 00:14:48.750 Luckily these urges appeared to fade after several days. 00:14:48.750 --> 00:14:53.420 In the final test, a D Class personnel with pyromania was placed in SCP-482. 00:14:53.420 --> 00:14:57.860 Despite the impulse control disorder normally causing them to start fires whenever given 00:14:57.860 --> 00:15:02.990 the chance, they now ignored all of the flammable materials offered to them by researchers. 00:15:02.990 --> 00:15:07.769 After one hour and 33 minutes though, thermometers in the testing room noted a sudden sharp rise 00:15:07.769 --> 00:15:09.450 in temperature. 00:15:09.450 --> 00:15:14.079 This was followed by a powerful explosion of heat and flames when the D Class spontaneously 00:15:14.079 --> 00:15:15.310 ignited. 00:15:15.310 --> 00:15:20.180 The testing room was completely destroyed and nearby hallway A-13 suffered catastrophic 00:15:20.180 --> 00:15:21.220 damage. 00:15:21.220 --> 00:15:25.339 All observing researchers were also lost in the conflagration. 00:15:25.339 --> 00:15:27.779 SCP-482, though, survived. 00:15:27.779 --> 00:15:31.870 Surprisingly, the body of the D Class was also able to be recovered, and though the 00:15:31.870 --> 00:15:36.350 autopsy was made difficult due to the heat it still exuded, a discovery was made. 00:15:36.350 --> 00:15:41.300 Inside the body, a new organ was found, one that appeared to be sustaining some type of 00:15:41.300 --> 00:15:46.170 constant reaction that produced heat, as well as strong magnetic waves, and this organ has 00:15:46.170 --> 00:15:49.110 been placed in containment for future study. 00:15:49.110 --> 00:15:54.250 SCP-482 is currently being kept in a containment locker at a secure site, with access restricted 00:15:54.250 --> 00:15:56.040 to Level 2 personnel and above. 00:15:56.040 --> 00:16:01.180 The maximum time allowed for testing is 1 hour after mutations manifest, and any test 00:16:01.180 --> 00:16:06.569 subjects who reach Time Point Beta are to be terminated. 00:16:06.569 --> 00:16:10.329 Following termination, SCP-482 is to be removed from their body prior to autopsy. 00:16:10.329 --> 00:16:13.960 The straightjacket is then to be thermally cleansed and all biological traces of the 00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:17.850 prior subject removed before it is used for testing again. 00:16:17.850 --> 00:16:21.910 Now I bet you are telling yourself, well this sounds pretty easy to contain, I bet this 00:16:21.910 --> 00:16:26.860 is a Safe Class anomaly, and normally I would agree with you, but perhaps you noticed something 00:16:26.860 --> 00:16:28.920 strange in the Experiment Log. 00:16:28.920 --> 00:16:32.750 Did you pay attention to the reports from observing researchers that they too had begun 00:16:32.750 --> 00:16:38.300 to experience some rather unusual effects, simply from watching SCP-482 affect a subject? 00:16:38.300 --> 00:16:43.709 Did it seem to you as though the Mentally Mutating Straitjacket was somehow projecting 00:16:43.709 --> 00:16:48.620 the mental illnesses experienced by the subjects onto those observing it? 00:16:48.620 --> 00:16:53.720 It appears that there may be more to SCP-482 than first meets the eye, and this mystery 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:58.470 only deepens when one reads the containment procedures on this anomaly’s file and realizes 00:16:58.470 --> 00:17:05.210 that the person overseeing SCP-482 research… is none other than SCP Foundation legend Dr. 00:17:05.210 --> 00:17:06.210 Bright. 00:17:06.210 --> 00:17:11.221 Is the actual testing of SCP-482 not actually taking place on the D Class personnel, but 00:17:11.221 --> 00:17:13.180 on the SCP Foundation researchers? 00:17:13.180 --> 00:17:18.350 A convoluted experiment designed to discover the true extent of its anomalous effects? 00:17:18.350 --> 00:17:23.950 When it comes to this Euclid Class anomaly, only Dr. Bright knows for sure. 00:17:23.950 --> 00:17:30.140 Now go and watch another entry from the files of Dr. Bob, like SCP-767 Crime Scene Photographs, 00:17:30.140 --> 00:17:33.630 for another inanimate object that appears to actually be quite active. 00:17:33.630 --> 00:17:38.140 And make sure you subscribe and turn on notifications, so you don’t miss a single anomaly, as we 00:17:38.140 --> 00:17:42.070 delve further and further into the SCP Foundation’s classified archives.
