SCP-106, also known as "The Old Man," is a highly deadly and elusive entity that has been active since at least World War II, with hundreds if not thousands of victims attributed to it. It is capable of phasing through solid surfaces, making it extremely difficult to contain. The Old Man has a sadistic and calculating nature, often using its abilities to toy with its victims.
During a containment breach, three observers are killed, and two security officers, Agents Goodwin and Resnick, attempt to engage the entity. However, SCP-106 proves immune to physical damage and is able to overpower Resnick, dragging him into its "Pocket Dimension," a twisted realm where it tortures its victims.
To lure the Old Man back into its containment cell, the Foundation uses the screams of a Class D personnel member, who is subjected to extreme pain every 20 minutes. The screams act as bait, drawing SCP-106 back to its cell, where it resumes its containment. The incident ends with the clean-up of the area and the transfer of new personnel to replace those who were killed or traumatized during the breach.
