SCP-1499

Description
SCP-1499 is a Soviet GP-5 gas mask. A seal test performed on the object suggests that the object retains its original functionality. The anomalous effects of SCP-1499 activate when a human places SCP-1499 on their head. Approximately one second after SCP-1499 is fully secured on the subject's head, the subject vanishes from view, and is no longer detectable. The subject reports no feeling of motion at this time. Testing has revealed that two-way radios remain capable of both receiving and transmitting despite the subject being undetectable. Upon wearing SCP-1499, test subjects report completely different surroundings than they were in prior to wearing SCP-1499. Subjects have reported that it appears barren and inhospitable, with tall black towers filling the area. Subjects have also sighted entities in this landscape. These entities, designated SCP-1499-1, have been described as tall, nude humanoids with dark skin that have a thick coat of an unknown viscous substance. Instances of SCP-1499-1 also have large amounts of eyes and mouths covering their body. Upon removing SCP-1499 from their head, subjects reappear in the same location they were in when they put it on. For more information, see Test Log 1499.

In Game
SCP-1499 can be found inside a wooden box in its containment chamber.

Upon equipping SCP-1499, the player will be transported to the landscape. Removing the gas mask will return the player to the location where they initially equipped it, regardless of how far they travel in the landscape. However, any damage inflicted to the player by an SCP-1499-1 instance will linger once SCP-1499 is removed. Equipping the gas mask also allows the player to hide from any roaming hazards that may have been near them inside the facility.

The landscape primarily consists of large, black stone structures that are either grounded or suspended in mid-air. The player will initially start off outside what appears to be a church, where they can enter it and and find an audience of SCP-1499-1 instances. Another instance can be seen on a balcony overlooking the audience. If the player lingers for too long, the audience will face the player and the rest will chase him. The player may also wander the landscape, and small groups of SCP-1499-1 can be found.

Putting SCP-1499 through SCP-914 on "1:1" will refine it into a standard gas mask. Refining SCP-1499 on "Fine" grants the player infinite sprint when traveling inside the dimension, and "Very Fine" refines the gas mask into a hostile SCP-1499-1 instance.
