The narrator, a former janitor, recounts his time working at a mysterious facility where he was tasked with containing and studying anomalous objects, including the deadly SCP-173. He rises through the ranks and becomes a Containment Specialist, eventually training a new team to handle SCP-173. However, during a routine cleaning, the team is locked in the cell with the anomaly, and the narrator realizes they are being used as test subjects. After his team is killed, the narrator is left alone and eventually gives in to SCP-173's influence, leading to a transformation that makes him behave like the anomaly.
