"Mature Content" |
| This character or verse has mature themes and concepts, thus those of young age are ill-advised to look through these. |
| “ | You cloak yourself in the outward 'trappings' of science — the terms, the titles, the 'interview logs' — all in some desperate, contrived attempt to make it sound a little more reasonable, a little more respectable, a little more plausible… | „ |
| ~ Murphy Lawden to Dr. Thaddeus Thaum |
| “ | I'm just the guy you call when everything that could go wrong… did. | „ |

"SCP-3143 is an intrafictional construct. When active, this construct exhibits the ability to temporarily 'flatten' portions of reality into a script-like narrative. This narrative is derivative of the genre established by North American writers of hard-boiled and noir fiction.
During this period, SCP-3143 takes on the role of the main character (a 1930s private detective) hired to solve a case. All entities flattened by its effect become characters within the narrative surrounding it, exhibiting personalities and attributes typical of the genre's style. The narrative will continue until SCP-3143's actions lead to a resolution consistent with the genre; at this point, the narrative will conclude and reality will revert. Events that occur within the narrative will be projected into reality; however, entities involved in these events will typically have no recollection of what occurred.
SCP-3143 was first noted in 2005 in the aftermath of a containment breach at Site-95. In 2012, the Foundation's Pataphysics Department worked alongside the Department of Analytics to make contact with and apprehend SCP-3143.
SCP-3143-A is Murphy Lawden, SCP-3143's author."
