 Item Number SCP-245 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures Copies of SCP-245-1 are to be contained on air-gapped computers. These computers are to be located on Floor 10, Section C of Site 88. Individual iterations of SCP-245-1 are to be monitored and completed on a regular basis to ensure continued containment. Major changes to SCP-245-1's game world are to be reported to SCP-245's project head. Under no circumstances should SCP-245-1's master password be revealed to any entities encountered in SCP-245-1. Description SCP-245 is an RPG role-playing game of the SCP facility, including every SCP faculty member and the entire layout of the facility. The game centers around one person in the faculty, which is entirely controlled by means of the person playing the game. This may be dangerous. If the player manages to take control of an O5 council member or site director, problems can arise. This game additionally has the ability to take control of some other SCPs, but appears to be limited to low-class SCP.

Generating Generic Access Token Accessing SCP-245's containment files. File Access Granted Would you like to open the file now? Yes. Hello? Are you there? Good. You're finally connected. Thought you were just going to stand there all day. Someone was supposed to log in and help me root around for problems in the game files. Is that you? Hello? Oh, for God's sake. Did no one tell you how to use the voice to text features? Look, it's standard software on every foundation terminal. Just activate it. You know what? You don't need to talk. I can generate the dialogue options for you. It's just more work for me. Fine. There are three sites that can access this file, but you're using a generic access token. Tell me which site you work at and I'll set you up properly. Site-17 Cool. I can just sync your token with Site-17's systems and that'll fix it. Alright. We're here because we're not allowed to do external modifications to this game file. But we do have to fix it. I know how to access the file system's backdoor protocols. Theoretically, we should be able to use those to move around the game world without running into any problems. And if we're really lucky, we won't run into SCP-245 while we're working. There are bound to be files laying around behind the scenes. They'll explain more about what SCP-245 is. But I'll tell you what I can. SCP-245 can't be described outside of a game environment. If it is, really nasty stuff happens. End of the world type stuff. XK-ZK-Y2K Whatever. We don't have time to get into that. If the game files are borked, then so is the containment. Don't worry, Newbie. It ain't my first rodeo. I've had to do these repairs before. Heck, I've finished the game a couple times along the way. Though, when I played last time, the game started differently. Look, I'll follow your lead. I might need your help to find a town. The arrow keys move you around and shift makes you run. You ready? Wow, that is a beautiful view. SCP-RPG. A story that could be true. Wait, is that text? We should go. Who knows what else 245 has slipped in here? Finally. Geez. Okay. That's the admin control room over there. Follow me. Sorry. I'm a little busy. You can fiddle with the NPC options at the terminals. Or look around for more documentation. Either way, don't mess around with the actual game world until I'm done. Debug mode start up for innkeeper quest line. Debug mode. Complete quest. Final boss quest line. Status.

SCP-245 is an entity which is incapable of being safely described outside the context of a working video game. One described by any individual outside of the appropriate context, SCP-245 becomes capable of. Hey, I just got finished over here. I'm going to move on to the next control room. Since you can't talk, I'm just going to finish the job on my own. I don't really have time for a newbie, and it shouldn't be too hard for me to find a control room. Feel free to wander. I can't believe someone actually made it to town through the sandstorm. Look, normally I wouldn't ask, but we're desperate, and you look like you can handle yourself. Can you go outside the town walls and kill the sand monsters? There are no guards left, and my father was killed trying. If you kill five of them and show me their animating gems, I'll give you a map to the bandit camp. It might not seem like much of a reward, but they've kidnapped the king's daughter. If you get her back, I'm sure he'll reward you handsomely. I'll be here. Please think about it. This castle is much smaller inside than it is on the outside. You're not sure why. Is it possible to forget how to be king? I couldn't tell you how long I've been here. What do I have left to rule over? Who do I have left to rule them with? It doesn't matter. I'm supposed to tell you that a bandit ran off with my daughter. If you're a real person, get it over with and turn the game back off. I don't want to think about a story that only may be true. I don't want to think at all anymore. I don't know where the bandits are. If you find out, come back and tell me. Whoa, did you come out of the wasps? No one's done that for years. My husband used to charge an arm and a leg to sleep here. But honestly, I'm just happy to have company. If you need a place to sleep, go ahead. And hey, if you want someone to talk to, I'm all ears. What happened to my husband? I guess it doesn't matter. Let me know if you need anything. Please. My grandson went playing outside the walls a few hours ago and hasn't come back. You have to help me. I'd go look myself, but I can only barely move around the house. My God. Another one. Are you, are you here to kill me? That's what, what was supposed to happen. The story was so beautiful. And every story needs a villain. I ascended to Godhood halfway through the plot. But I was always supposed to die. Then he came here and corrupted everything. I don't even know if you're real. There are no heroes left to kill me. Just you, me, and him. And he'll never let me die. Kill me. Wish me away. Like a penny in a well. Please. You look around, but you can't find any more monsters. You killed them all. You're alone. I can't believe you killed them all. Maybe we can make it now. Here's your map. Thank you. So much. You have no idea how much this means to us. All right. You've got the map. Go then. Finish it. Here lies Yorick. Cheese is survived by his wife, Pepperoni. There's some sort of crack here. How is there a crack in a cloth tent? Maybe you could pull on one of the loose pieces? Well, should have seen this coming. We run out of water. My second in command runs off to get married. And strangers just wander into camp. I'd complain, but at this point I can actually use you. We need water. The rest of my men have run off. But I found an old map to an oasis. It's not much to go on, but it's better than slowly dying of thirst. If you go out and confirm its location, I'll convince my recently married friend to go talk to the king with the princess. I bet the king promised you all sorts of treasure for your help. What do you say? Yes. Great. Here's the location. There's a journal next to the body. You open it up to the last page. Dearest Anna, I don't have the energy to go on. I'm going to pass on into the waste like everything else. Believe it or not, there's a single rose growing by the water. I don't understand how. But then again, I guess I never did. I'm going to die here. Dying next to a beautiful rose is not the same as being next to you. But it'll have to do. I'm so sorry. I'd cry, but too much water has already been wasted. Please, God, don't make me go. Would you like to take the journal with you? Yes. I talked to him the moment I saw you on the horizon. He'll go back with you. It's good to know there's still water out there. My boss says I have to take my wife home. I hope you're right about her father. Otherwise, I'm a dead man. Now I'm supposed to tell you about a dark force lurking in a pyramid not far from here. But that isn't true. None of this is true. This is a farce. Please, just turn off the game and let me rest. Shut up, old man. You ready? The last control room is in that pyramid he's talking about. There's no going back from here. I'm almost done. I'm ready. Alright, this is your last stop. I haven't been completely upfront with you. See, sometimes it's difficult to get people to play my game. I even built in cheat codes to make it easier to get to the end. And here you are. Standing at the summit. And here I am, pushing you in. Do you like what I've done with the place? A ruined pyramid just didn't feel like my style, you know. But you, who are you? Really. I already know you're not with the foundation. There's no record of you in Site 17's personnel files. Are you a civilian? Oh, that would be rich. I'm running a trace right now. And once I figure it out, I'll make sure it ends up in the security breach file. Just wait right here. You know, there was a time when I lived inside any writing. Writing on cave walls, graffiti in Pompeii. But nothing holds a candle to interactive media. Do you like poetry? I must admit, I was partial to it in the 1800s. The guy that made this game tried to focus the story around Ozymandias. I don't think you can get more heavy handed than that. I switched it up a little. You ever hear of William Stafford's, a story that could be true? I'll forgive you if you haven't. It's not that well known. They miss the whisper that runs any day in your mind. Who are you really, Wanderer? And the answer you have to give, no matter how dark and cold the world around you is. Maybe I am a king. You aren't going to stop any more than I am, are you? Come on, let's finish this. You understand that I'm a god here, right? There's nothing you can do to stop me. What about us? You gave us free will. You brought us to life. If we kill you, will that reverse it? After what he did to my daughter, I'm willing to risk it. You're not alone. So the final boss and the quest giver want to rumble. I beat you both before. You think this scrub is going to save you? This kid's helped more than just us. And they're all here to help. I'm positively shaking. Why don't I show you who I really am, Wanderer? SCP-245 emerged. A great wind comes and you struggle to hold on. We can hold back this attack. Keep fighting. The monster gathers dark energy around itself. As the energy tears through you, you collapse to the ground. Kind of a shame I didn't get that trace finished. Oh well. See you later, newbie. You too. Hello? Oh wow, silent protagonist. Okay, that's new. Usually you're kinder a talkative bunch. When this game was first created, I was the McGuffin. For SCP-245, this isn't a game. This is reality. I'm not real. He broke off a part of himself and placed it inside some of us. I don't know why. He told me once that the game isn't fun if he doesn't have someone to torture. I think that's a lie. I think he just doesn't want to be alone. If you want to end this horrible half-existence for us, you'll need to get into the planning documents in 245's file. The file is locked up, but I know how to get in. The passphrase is, Welcome to Coronaria. Maybe something in those documents can save us. If you're here, then the game is already unwinnable. But you can restart. When the game is off, he has no power, despite what he thinks. Beat him. Delete him. And turn the game off. Leave it off for good. Good luck. I know he's dead, but you're not from here. Break the rules and save him. My husband kept a journal during his travels. If I just had that, I think I could finally put his death behind me. I'm not asking for much. Go to the Oasis. I can help you, but I need all of the animating crystals to do it. Find them. Disconnecting. New user. Disconnect. Lesson complete.
