In the midst of a Chaos Insurgency raid on Site-19, SCP-049, also known as the Plague Doctor, finds himself unexpectedly freed from containment. Amidst the chaos, he contemplates escaping to continue his research on a cure for the Pestilence. However, he is captured by Pascal Laget, an art collector associated with the Chaos Insurgency, who intends to display SCP-049 as part of his Anart collection. The Plague Doctor is placed in a glass case alongside other anomalous objects, including SCP-173. Utilizing a moment of distraction during a party at Laget's mansion, SCP-049 orchestrates an escape by exploiting SCP-173's lethal abilities when unobserved. In the ensuing carnage, SCP-049 kills Laget and searches for an exit. The SCP Foundation intervenes just in time to recontain both SCP-049 and SCP-173, saving the Plague Doctor from a deadly encounter with SCP-173. Back in containment at Site-19, SCP-049 resumes his research, albeit wary of future breaches involving SCP-173.
