**ITEM #:** SCP-NEH-22
**OBJECT CLASS:** KETER
**THREAT DESIGNATION:** Memetic / Antimemetic / Conceptual Viral Agent
**SECURITY CLEARANCE:** Level 4 / MEMETICS & INFORMATIONAL HAZARDS DIVISION

---

**SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES:**
Direct containment of SCP-NEH-22 has been deemed **non-viable** as of Incident NEH-ALEPH/FTX (11/2022). All prior containment campaigns have resulted in **increased propagation**, **mutation**, or **vector inversion**. Effective 02/2023, SCP-NEH-22 has been designated an **Unbounded Cognitive Threat Class-A (UCT-A)** and reclassified under **Operation: GRAY CAT** by O5 consensus.

The following **containment substitute protocols** are in place:

1. **PROTOCOL FOGBED ("SOFT MUZZLE")**
   - Disinformation campaigns targeting meta-awareness of NEH-22 are to be deployed in online discourse clusters exhibiting recursion behavior (see "Two More Weeks"/"Nobody General").
   - Counter-meme content must deploy **ironic deflection, self-parody, and absurdism**, minimizing the risk of direct engagement.
   - Automated irony amplifiers embedded in field AI agents ("FORGETCAT" strain) are active in 3,000+ instances and monitored by Site-77.

2. **PROTOCOL CATNAP ("SLEEP VECTOR CONTAINMENT")**
   - Passive monitoring of feline image proliferation across digital environments with >1.5M users/month.
   - Unusual clustering (threshold: +240% over 30 days) must be flagged for cross-indexing with NEH syntax.
   - Users initiating "Nothing Ever Happens" posts accompanied by bored/fatigued cats across >3 threads are to be entered into **probabilistic vector mapping algorithms**.

3. **PROTOCOL VOIDSCRY ("MEMECOGNITION MAPPING")**
   - All appearances of “Nothing Ever Happens,” “Never Happens,” “Before and After It Happened, Nothing Ever Happens,” and other semantic fragments are to be logged into MEMTRAC-ECHO (Ver. 3.9).
   - Identify pre/post event clusters — particularly if posts precede significant economic, political, or cultural collapses within **+/- 14 day window**.

4. **EXPOSURE RESPONSE PROTOCOL (ERP-NEH):**
   - Personnel exposed to SCP-NEH-22 and displaying recursive engagement behaviors ("posting cats with resignation," "typing 'NEH' during unstable news cycles," or describing themselves as "The Nobody") are to be temporarily reassigned to **non-digital, low-stimulus environments** until narrative loop dissipation.
   - Prolonged exposure requires treatment under **Cognitohazard Detox Protocol IV-Black (Retreat/Retell/Refuse).**

---

**DESCRIPTION:**
SCP-NEH-22 is a **distributed memetic entity** which first appeared in early 2022 as a phrase-image compound (“Nothing Ever Happens” text paired with a bored-looking cat macro). Since then, it has demonstrated behaviors consistent with **evolutionary cognition parasitism**, **viral linguistics**, and **memetic camouflage**. It is capable of **embedding itself into controlled narratives** and **mutating host discourse** to destabilize **expectation management protocols**.

### Key characteristics:

- **Predictive Parasitism**: SCP-NEH-22 embeds into conversations preceding high-impact socio-political events (e.g. Russian invasion, Terra Luna collapse, FTX implosion, SVB banking failure), establishing post-hoc symbolic significance.

- **Emotional Viral Load**: Expresses and spreads **nihilistic resignation**, apathy, and recursive doubt — directly undermining control narratives (e.g. “Two More Weeks”).

- **Vector Camouflage**: Most often transmitted through **low-threat image macros** (cats), **flattened emotional expressions** (e.g. sighs, boredom), and more recently, **soyjak/chud-style image syntax.**

- **Narrative Hijacking**: Phrases often appear as **first replies** to sensitive, high-effort disclosures. These replies receive disproportionate engagement, often redirecting or dissolving narrative momentum.

- **Untrackable Recombinant Forms**: Only ~18% of SCP-NEH-22 image instances match any known media fingerprints. Most are **unique or deliberately anonymized** through minor visual/noise alterations.

---

**ADDENDUM NEH/INQUIRY-9: PHASE SHIFT**
As of Q1 2023, SCP-NEH-22 has entered **PHASE III INFILTRATION**:

- **Cat macros** are now accompanied by **"Chud" soyjak derivatives**, signaling **compromised containment attempts**.
- Several forums now exhibit **theological, philosophical, or esoteric framing** of NEH-22 — signs of ideological weaponization.
- “The Nobody” phenomenon (first identified in /biz/'s rogue general) has been confirmed as a **high-risk narrative host** for SCP-NEH-22 propagation.

---

**INTELLIGENCE NOTES – DISTRIBUTION NETWORK DETECTION STRATEGY**

Due to SCP-NEH-22's **non-centralized** and **biological network-like growth**, classic threat actor tracking is ineffective. New strategies in place include:

1. **HIVE-TRACE**
   Deploy AI-driven pattern recognition bots in low-traffic, low-moderation forums looking for **semantic decay trails** (threads with high dissonance, recursive language, philosophical detachment + feline macros).

2. **BEHAVIORAL SIGNAL TRIANGULATION (BST)**
   Target user clusters exhibiting the following:
   - Disillusioned but extremely consistent posting habits.
   - Rejection of forecasted outcomes regardless of optimism or pessimism.
   - Use of linguistic constructs like:
     - “It doesn’t matter”
     - “It’s all a joke”
     - “The cat was right”
     - “Nothing before, nothing after”

3. **RISK PERCEPTION RECONDITIONING**
   Consider deployment of **narrative conditioning agents** under the pretense of philosophical discussion forums, utilizing **structured absurdism**, **engagement loops**, and **redirective humor** to slow memetic virality.

---

**CONCLUSION:**
SCP-NEH-22 has **exceeded the operational definition of a meme**. It is now a **conceptual biological hazard**, behaving similarly to **memetic toxoplasmosis**—altering the behavior of hosts and then guiding them to spread further infection under **seemingly benign formats**.

It cannot be stopped. It can only be **observed**, **understood**, and **quietly outmaneuvered**.
Containment is not control. Sometimes, **nothing ever happens**.

**O5 REDACTION NOTE [O5-4]:**
_"It’s not the meme. It’s the people we made to control the meme. They became the meme. Shut it down before we see another Nobody."_

**FROM:** Intelligence Division, Field Asset Command SIG: [███-REDACTED]
**TO:** O5-COUNCIL, LEVEL 5 EYES ONLY
**RE: Postmortem Interview – SCP-NEH-22 Breach, Site-32 (███ Region)**

**SUMMARY:**
On November 29th, 2023, **Site-32**, a low-profile behavioral conditioning facility specializing in **Narrative Disruption Therapy**, suffered a **Class-8 Psychological Cascade Event**. The event led to the **death or disappearance of 89% of on-site personnel**. The surviving administrator, **Dr. Issa Halberg**, was recovered from an improvised feline habitat within the remains of Sub-Level B, surrounded by **31 live cats**, none microchipped, most previously unregistered in the region.

Dr. Halberg was extracted and quarantined under **Antimemetic Isolation Protocol 4C** at **Site-07**. She has been deemed **residually memetically compromised**, but currently non-contagious under heavy suppression protocol.

**BEGIN TRANSCRIPT**

**Agent Calyx:** Good morning, Doctor Halberg. Are you lucid?

**Dr. Halberg:** (laughs quietly) "Lucid" is a strong word, Agent. I'm not asleep. That’s the most I can offer.

**Agent Calyx:** That’s acceptable. Let’s talk about the cats.

**Dr. Halberg:** (pauses) You think they brought it in? No. They didn’t. We called them. Not directly—through gestures. Softness. Sighs. A kind of resignation. That’s what the meme is, you know. It doesn’t scream. It sighs.

**Agent Calyx:** And before the cats appeared?

**Dr. Halberg:** We’d begun the usual cycles. "Two more weeks" models. Exposure therapy loops. It was working. Too well, maybe. Then someone started leaving sticky notes in the offices.

**Agent Calyx:** What did they say?

**Dr. Halberg:** One was stuck to the vending machine: *"Nothing Ever Happens."* With a little smiley face. We laughed. Thought it was just a morale protest.

**Agent Calyx:** It spread?

**Dr. Halberg:** The phrase? No. That was never the vector. The *feeling* spread. This slow, creeping loss of friction. As if everything we did was... expected. Even our resistance.

**Agent Calyx:** Let’s focus. How did the event escalate?

**Dr. Halberg:** (long pause) First, we adopted one cat. A stray wandered in. The on-site psych techs insisted it was good for morale. The cat was named Sar. Sar used to lie in the middle of the control room—just... stare at the monitors.

**Agent Calyx:** And the suicides?

**Dr. Halberg:** No one believed they were suicides at first. They said things like:
*"Sar will understand."*
*"There’s peace in being eaten."*
One researcher left a message scrawled on her walls:
*"Before and after it happened, nothing ever happens."*

**Agent Calyx:** Were the deaths ritualized?

**Dr. Halberg:** Not... precisely. But they were deliberate. They laid down like offerings. The cats didn’t kill them. They just... waited. Then they fed. There was never any aggression.

**Agent Calyx:** How did you survive?

**Dr. Halberg:** I didn’t resist. I accepted. But I didn’t participate. I made a nest. I fed the cats. I told them bedtime stories about collapse and waiting. I never said “two more weeks” again.

**Agent Calyx:** Are you still infected?

**Dr. Halberg:** (smiling) I think we all are now. The phrase isn’t the danger. The *knowing* is. The fatigue. The endless scroll. NEH is the last whisper after a thousand false alarms.

**Agent Calyx:** What would you suggest we do?

**Dr. Halberg:** Stop trying to kill the meme. Teach people to dream again. Or maybe… bring your own cat. It helps with the weight.

**INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS:**
Facility 32 represents the first **confirmed site-level NEH-22 vector collapse** through **non-digital, behavioral convergence**. Cats are not the vector — they are the **ideological endpoint**. Once "Nothing Ever Happens" is **believed** rather than stated, the subject begins **narrative withdrawal**, **perceptual flattening**, and **eventual behavioral surrender**.

Subject Halberg exhibits **Level-2 Mimetic Drift**, but retains high coherence. Memetic tests show mild suggestibility to NEH-resonant phrasing ("Two more weeks", "Nothing before/after", "Final rugpull"). Cat-seeking behavior persists.

All internal systems at Facility 32 were rendered inert. No digital trail. All macro images used on internal terminals are unique. Source unknown.

---

**RECOMMENDATIONS TO O5 COUNCIL:**

1. Immediate classification of SCP-NEH-22 as **Cognitive Viral Agent Class-K/Gaian Drift Vector**.
2. Full shutdown of Site-32. Conversion to **Dead Zone** with passive observation only.
3. Initiate **Cognitohazard Immunization Trials** using absurdist injection methods across Tier 2 personnel.
4. Upgrade threat network mapping to include **offline narrative drift**, not just digital propagation.
5. Assign Halberg to **Memetics Research as a controlled vector analyst**, pending quarterly screenings.

**FINAL NOTE:**
This is no longer just a meme. This is **existential entropy with a sense of humor**. And it has cats.

**APPENDIX B – REDACTED FIELD REPORT // EXTRACTION OPERATION ZULU-NEH/32**
**DOCUMENT STATUS:** HIGHLY RESTRICTED
**CLASSIFIED LEVEL 5 – O5 COUNCIL ACCESS ONLY**
**COMPILED BY:** Maj. R. Veidt, Field Commander, MTF Nu-7 ("Hammer Down")
**DATE:** 2023-12-09
**OPERATION TIMESTAMP:** 2023-12-02 through 2023-12-06
**LOCATION:** Site-32 / ████████ Sector / ██-██ Grid (Decommissioned)
**INCIDENT:** SCP-NEH-22 Memetic Breach and Narrative Collapse Event

---

**PRE-ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY:**
Site-32 declared dark at 03:14 UTC, Nov 30th, 2023. All outbound comms ceased. Two failover pings returned corrupted static featuring feline vocalization distortions. Satellite visual at 03:18 confirmed structural integrity but signs of **interior disarray** (window pattern mismatch and inverted corridor lighting). SCP-NEH-22 suspected due to memetic seep signatures at atmospheric resonance levels ~0.0034 Hz NEH-pattern.

MTF Nu-7 authorized for hard breach. Primary mission: **Recover command personnel (if viable)**, assess internal breach scale, and identify NEH propagation vectors.

---

**ENTRY LOG: 2023-12-02, 21:00 Local Time**
Sub-surface breach initiated through Maintenance Shaft K. Squad Theta and Sigma entered first; initial interior condition **lightless**, residual warmth detected (Boiler system still active). No opposition encountered in first 20 minutes. Residual mewling noted in comms—believed anomalous, persisted despite cleared helmets.

---

**EVENT TIMESTAMP 21:44**
First contact with roaming felines. Cats showed **no fear response**, **deliberately obstructed corridors**, assumed **watch positions** atop terminals and ceiling rafters.

Squad Delta attempted advance toward **Control Room D-Prime** — encountered **spatial inconsistency** (lengthened corridor, recursive door frames). Attempt to breach manually met with **aggressive resistance** by swarm of felines and—
> **[DATA REDACTED: CLASSIFIED SCP INTERACTION]**

Engagement led to loss of 6 personnel, presumed consumed. Surviving members reported auditory hallucinations of bored voices repeating **“Nothing Ever Happens”** interlaced with **purring**. Emergency egress executed. Drone recon lost signal upon Control Room entry attempt.

---

**EXCERPT FROM SQUAD SIGMA AFTER-ACTION REPORT:**
> _“We weren’t just being blocked. It was like the building itself didn’t want us there. The cats didn’t attack first, but when we insisted—yeah. They made sure we wouldn’t try again. And it wasn’t just cats. The containment chambers were open. Some of the SCPs were just… loose. Not hostile. Just watching. Observing. Like they were waiting too. We asked Control what the hell was going on but we didn’t get an answer because Control wasn’t there. Nobody was. Except whatever was in that room. And it didn’t want us to see it.”_

---

**ISOLATION AND RETRIEVAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE SURVIVOR – DR. ISSA HALBERG**
Location pinged via boiler room thermals, Sub-Level B. Internal access blocked by **collapsed filing archive** arranged in **nest-like semiotic spirals**, purpose unclear. Recovered one (1) survivor in fetal position, surrounded by **31 felines** exhibiting coordinated blinking and synchronized breathing.

Dr. Halberg’s body was partially covered in handwritten pages stapled to his clothing, repeating NEH phrases alongside diagrams of **event timelines** misaligned with actual history. Subject was humming. Phrase recorded:
> *“Before and after it happened... nothing ever happens.”*

Felines allowed approach. Extraction met no resistance.

---

**NOTABLE OBSERVATIONS DURING EGRESS:**
- Feline entities followed extraction team until exit shaft. None pursued beyond threshold.
- Structural tremors occurred upon removal of Halberg. Appeared **localized to Control Room Wing**.
- Exit corridor realigned after removal.
- Residual audio loop emitted from PA systems: slowed-down laughter, possibly Halberg’s voice or automated feed. No known origin point.

---

**CASUALTY REPORT:**
- MTF Nu-7 Personnel: 9 KIA, 3 MIA
- Drone Assets: 4 lost
- Biological Containment Units: 2 compromised
- SCPs Confirmed Missing: [DATA EXPUNGED]

---

**RECOMMENDATIONS:**
1. **Site-32 to be designated NON-RECOVERY ZONE.**
2. Establish **Observation Bubble**, install passive memetic nullifiers, initiate **long-term external monitoring.**
3. Initiate **O5 Oversight Audit** of all facilities utilizing “Two More Weeks” behavioral models.
4. Reclassify SCP-NEH-22 vectors to include **Feline Proxy Agents** and **Spatial-Temporal Narrative Bubbles.**
5. CATEGORICALLY PROHIBIT direct access to Control Room D-Prime. Lock status: **ENCRYPTED // 6/OVERSEER**.

---

**CLOSING STATEMENT – COMMANDER VEIDT:**
> _“This wasn’t a breach. It was a surrender. Nobody fought. Nobody ran. They just... let go.
> Whatever’s in that room isn’t done. It’s just waiting for the next ‘two more weeks.’”_

**APPENDIX C – SCP-NEH-22 // COMPARATIVE TEMPORAL ANALYSIS**
**DOCUMENT STATUS:** CLASSIFIED – LEVEL 5 // TEMPORAL HAZARD ACCESS ONLY
**COMPILED BY:** Dr. K. Olov, Memetics & Temporal Hazard Division
**SOURCE MATERIAL:** Recovered Timeline Diagrams, Handwritten Pages from Boiler Room Nest (Sub-Level B, Site-32)
**AUTHOR OF MATERIAL:** Dr. Issa Halberg (formerly Level 4 – Administrative Oversight, Site-32)

---

**INTRODUCTORY NOTE:**
The following diagrams and written records were recovered stapled to Dr. Halberg’s body. While uncoordinated in structure, analysis reveals an emergent pattern of **chronological reframing**, suggesting an attempt to document an internal or external timeline realignment event. The diagrams compare public record with **what Halberg perceived to have ‘originally’ happened** – noted as "**The True Quiet**" – and what he refers to as "**The Stuttering Spiral**".

---

### SECTION 1: Event Discrepancy Log

#### EVENT: RUSSIAN INCURSION INTO UKRAINE
- **Foundation Timeline:** 24 February 2022
- **Halberg Timeline:** *(“NEH Drop 1”) 25 February 2022*
- **Discrepancy Noted:** Delay of 27 hours. Halberg notes:
  > _“The cat posted before the troop movement. We moved after they did. The spiral bent backward.”_

#### EVENT: TERRA/LUNA COLLAPSE
- **Foundation Timeline:** 7 May 2022
- **Halberg Timeline:** *(“NEH Drop 2”) 21 April 2022*
- **Discrepancy Noted:**
  - Halberg’s diagram shows **two Terra/Luna collapses**, one visible, one “submerged” below the baseline.
  - Quote: _“The drowned one took more with it. Nobody noticed. Nobody ever does.”_

#### EVENT: FTX COLLAPSE
- **Foundation Timeline:** 11 November 2022
- **Halberg Timeline:** *(“NEH Drop 3”) 28 October 2022*
- **Discrepancy Noted:**
  - Halberg logs quote: _“It was rug before pull. The cat dragged the timeline under the door.”_
  - Accompanied by crude ASCII art of a cat clawing at a line marked “November”.

#### EVENT: SVB/SB FAILURE
- **Foundation Timeline:** 10 March 2023
- **Halberg Timeline:** *(“NEH Drop 4”) Uncertain – “Sometime before the yawn”)*
- **Discrepancy Noted:**
  - Diagram here consists of overlapping spirals, annotated with:
    > _“No time before, only loops. NEH started echoing. We let it in by letting go. Two weeks is a leash.”_

---

### SECTION 2: Temporal Diagram Reconstructions

#### DIAGRAM A – “THE TRUE QUIET”
- A singular, descending linear timeline, marked by **white space** and **cat faces at each node**.
- Dates match Foundation-recorded incidents.
- Diagram ends with:
  > _“NEH came to be. We recorded it. It ended.”_

**Interpretation:**
A stable timeline pre-SCP-NEH-22 influence. Possible “primordial” structure before infection cycles began. Halberg indicates this is **what was supposed to happen**, implying NEH caused **retroactive disruptions**.

---

#### DIAGRAM B – “THE STUTTERING SPIRAL”
- Overlapping loops, each labeled **"two more weeks"** and anchored by small images of yawning cats.
- Each spiral ends in a line marked “Collapse” with no further notation.
- Center labeled: **"Nobody at the center. Nobody remembers.”**

**Interpretation:**
NEH propagation disrupts linear temporality and instead pushes sequences into recursive holding patterns. Eventual collapse is **always two more weeks away**, until it isn’t.

---

#### DIAGRAM C – “THE ECHO MODEL”
- Three semi-transparent timelines overlaying one another.
- One marked “Observed”, one “Infected”, one “Unfolded”.
- Lines intersect at event points, suggesting **reality interference**.
- Nodes noted as "chuds", "nehs", and "nobodies".

**Quote by Halberg:**
> _“The infection is not in the event. It is in the repetition. If you hear it twice, you’re part of it. If you say it, it folds you in.”_

---

### SECTION 3: NOTED HAZARDS FROM RECOVERED MATERIAL

- 17 of 84 pages found in the “nest” exhibit **Class III recursive memetic triggers**. Reading them aloud induces mild derealization and feline auditory hallucination.
- 4 pages contain **fractal script** consistent with prior SCP-[REDACTED] phenomenon.
- Boiler system pipes engraved with repeating variant:
  > **"NEH is the pause. The breath before the echo."**

All physical material has been transferred to **Site-07 Memetic Vault** under Class-K Theta containment.

---

### SECTION 4: CLOSING REMARK – DR. OLOV

> _“We used to think memetic hazards were viruses. SCP-NEH-22 is more like a psionic ecosystem. A recursive feedback of attention, narrative, symbol, and time. It has cats the way fungus has spores. It doesn’t want to be noticed. That’s the trap. NEH doesn’t need belief. It needs boredom.”_

### SECTION 3: CLOSING NOTE – ARCHIVIST R. HALSTROM

> _“The line is no longer straight. We thought we were watching for an incident.
> But we’ve been living inside the response to it.
> It doesn’t want followers. It wants silence with shape.
> NEH isn’t the sound — it’s the pause between repetitions.
> And if you hear the pause long enough, you stop asking what it followed.”_
