The narrator, Jazza, is a new recruit in the SCP Foundation's art department. He is tasked with creating illustrations of mysterious and dangerous entities that cannot be directly observed. Jazza documents his first days on the job, where he creates depictions of SCP-96, a humanoid creature that becomes aggressive when its face is viewed in photographs or videos, and SCP-173, a hostile concrete and rebar creature that can only be contained by being constantly observed. He also works on SCP-682, a large reptile-like creature with the ability to ingest all matter and heal quickly. Jazza shares his final days at the SCP Foundation, reflecting on his time and the impact he hopes to have left. He is eventually allowed access to the SCP files and compares his illustrations with the actual documented images, finding that his depictions were quite accurate. Jazza's final task is to create an illustration of an unnamed SCP entity that saps the energy and creative force of its subjects.
