| “ | Just as Prometheus stole fire from the gods, so too do we wrest the secrets from the universe daily. How mystical and magical must fire have been at one time. How dangerous and unbelievable. Could you imagine if the only source for something, the only thing you could relate it to, was a star? How unbelievable it must have been to the ancient Greeks. And now? A trivial thing. A trivial thing once deified. |

Prometheus Labs, Inc. is a posthumous faction in the SCP Foundation series. It was a major corporation which dealt with paranormal technology and served as a mostly positive faction in the setting, despite being focused on profit and not really aligning with the Foundation. It was one of first ever GoIs created in the early days of the SCP Wiki, being originally introduced in SCP-148.
Prometheus Labs plays a major role in the "Pitch Haven" and "Third Law" canons.
History[]
Possible Origins[]
Come Wayward Souls[]
Prometheus Labs was founded in 1892 by Dr. Clarence Prometheus, and was desgined as a private, for-profit conglomerate that focuses exclusively on researching and developing anomalous technology for commercial and private sale. Originally, he created the company after losing his mother, and unable to get over it attempted to find a way to resurrect her, but as he was unable to do so Clarence decided to form his own afterlife for the deceased. He formed the company out of his cult-like following which ranged from homeless people to rich businessmen and with this newfound investments Clarence constructed a satellite that would act as a form of Heaven and contain the departed souls, but things went wrong as the satellite began trapping numerous souls for eternity.
Pitch Haven[]
Prometheus Labs was founded by the former animal residents of Eden after leaving the hellish dimension designated SCP-6167. Following their loss during their war against the Maker and his still loyal subjects and imprisonment within SCP-6167 as punishment, the Furies of Eden were able to adapt to their new environment and with their knowledge were even able to improve it and make it more livable and homely. As years went on their hatred of humanity slowly diminished and soon began to see their values and beauty. This led to them to try to help humanity in achieving their potential and under the guise of humans created the company for the benefit of everyone.
Business and Downfall[]
During the 20th Century they became one of the most prolific in the anomalous community, having deals with both anoamlous and non-anomalous groups.
In 1998, Prometheus Labs would dissolve, due to either the Fall of the Golden Age of Demonics, or the combined attacks of SCP Foundation, Global Occult Coalition and the Chaos Insurgency to claim Prometheus' latest eigenweapon PROMETHEUS PL-76 SHIVA. With the organization dissolved, its many assets and staff were absorbed by the Foundation, though some projects and resources fell in the hands of other Groups of Interests. From the break up many new companies, which had previously been projects and divisions, emerged such as: Amrita Therapeutics, Archimedes, Argo Automotives, Iris Arts, Redzone Security, Silver Hand Cybernetics (which was eventually bought by Anderson Robotics), Titan Consumer Appliances and Electronics, and Oneiroi Incorporated.

Projects[]
- GRANT REQUEST FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF DEVICES TO REGULATE THE HUME COEFFICIENT OF LOCALISED REALITY: Scranton Reality Anchors that serve to stabilize local reality. These particular SRAs are based on the schematics of ancient technology and get attached to the brains of subservient reality benders.
- GRANT REQUEST FOR USAGE OF BIOLOGICAL ORGANISMS TO FACILITATE EFFICIENT TERRAFORMING AND SPECIES RESTORATION: Manufactured organisms which serve to terraform dangerous and hazardous environments to be suitable for human life. The aim was for these creatures to eat raw and toxic materials in places that were unsuitable for human life, like foreign planets, and one way to achieve this was to reverse-engineer Dr. Wondertainment's SCP-1550.
- GRANT REQUEST FOR UTILIZATION OF ELECTRO-THAUMIC COMPUTERS TO PERFORM EXORCISMS OF DEMONIC ENTITIES: Electro-thaumic computers comprised of an ICSUT's Everhart Resonator, a commercial projector, a computing hardware and a commercial microcontroller. These computers could be used to exorcise demons, or Tartarean entities, from various subjects.
- GRANT REQUEST FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN INTERSTELLAR SCIENCE VESSEL: A spaceship capable of faster than lightspeed travel thanks to a black hole used for energy. It would later be designated SCP-6523.
- GRANT REQUEST FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOOLS FOR MAPPING LOCALES WITH INCONSISTENT SPACETIME: A portable device that serves for mapping and navigating inconsistent spacetime when it gets disrupted by some anomaly, consisting of an 8-axis differential chronometer, a Herbst dimensionality gauge, and subspace radio composed of off-the-shelf components with a custom antenna.
- GRANT REQUEST FOR INVESTIGATING THE APPLICATION OF CERTAIN RESEARCH ASSETS IN OVERCOMING INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF THE HUMAN BODY: A process involving the utilization of the Lord of Endowments' body and artifacts to improve the human body. This project sought create implants that fused perfectly with the human body, and the genetical modification of the body to grant it regeneration and superior physiology. This led to the formation of Project Samsara, but after an attack by the Lord's cult the Project was taken over by the Foundation.
- GRANT REQUEST FOR GENETICALLY ENGINEERING LOW-COST ORGANIC AUTOMATONS WITH SOPHISTICATED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR LABOR: Genetically-engineered artificial humans known as All-Natural Automatons to replace costly mechanical robots in various areas. These ANAs were created from Prometheus' other projects such the terraforming organisms, SCP-1610-2 and Samsara and could be taught and controlled through brain-machine interface.
- GRANT REQUEST FOR A REPLACEMENT KEYBOARD BECAUSE THE CAPS LOCK ON THIS ONE IS BROKEN: A series of new keyboards manufactured by Superior Computer Products to replace the old ones previously owned by Prometheus due to the caps lock key being broken and causing outrage among employees. This proposal, however, was rejected and instead it was opted to utilize other advanced technologies to fix the problem.
- GRANT REQUEST FOR GREENE TO STOP MAKING FUN OF ME: Locking a Prometheus worker referred to as GREENIE inside a chamber surrounded with Elan-Vital Duplicate to create a copy of them which would lack GREENIE's downer personality.
- GRANT REQUEST FOR THE CYBERNETIC MODIFICATION OF THE CORPSE OF THE CROCOTEUTHIS GIGANTIS: The Crocosquid, revived with cybernetics by Prometheus Labs in hopes of turning her into a weapon, but the monster got out of control and awakened her fellow monsters.
- GRANT REQUEST FOR THE RE-CREATION OF AN ADVANCED POSTMORTEM NEURAL PRESERVATION SYSTEM: A computer-based ritual processing unit and biological preservation system which would keep a disembodied brain alive. It was composed of a Electro-Thaumic Computer derivative, a Magnadeus-Class microcomputer, a Neural Headband and a thaumaturgically-resistant silver-lined heavy-duty cable connecting the devices. This would be used for SCP-4519.
- GRANT REQUEST FOR THE PERFECTION OF BRAIN TRANSPLANTS FOR IDENTITY PERPETUATION AS TREATMENT FOR AGE-IMPAIRED IMMORTALITY: A procedure of taking the brain out of an ill individual and transplant it into a new host body. The brain would be genetically modified to fit and connect the body of a comatose individual or criminal. As all life in this reality had become immortal but not immune to aging, this procedure would be offered to wealthy people who wished to have a new more ideal body.
- GRANT REQUEST FOR THE CREATION OF A CURE FOR THE IRON ALLERGY NATIVE TO THE HOMO SAPIENS SIDHE SPECIES: A ritual to undo the curse set by Queen Mab on the Faeries that caused their iron allergy. This would be achieved by capturing a deity from the Nevermeant and use the being for power source.
- GRANT REQUEST FOR THE CREATION OF REMNANT HOST SYSTEMS TO PRESERVE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE POSTMORTEM: Creating humanoid robots that would be inhabited by the souls of the deceased to act as a way to avoid death but the proposal was declined.
- GRANT REQUEST FOR THE USAGE OF BIOLOGICAL SIGNALING MOLECULES TO PROMOTE INTERPERSONAL COLLABORATION IN THE WORKPLACE: A treatment for Prometheus Labs employees who suffer from depression and irritation, helping them in increased extroversion, higher emotional capacity, better sleeping patterns, reduced aggression, sweeter body odor, improved concentration and spacial awareness and lower metabolism. This treatment involved Anti-Androgens which block Androgenic hormones, and Estradiol which would replace the Androgens, acquired from Ferring Pharmaceuticals and Novo Nordisk.
- GRANT REQUEST FOR A PROJECT TO RELIEVE ANIMAL SUFFERING RELATED TO THE NEW YEAR CELEBRATIONS: A memetic effect developed through the collaboration with AWCY? that makes people believe they're seeing fireworks. The aim was to have people experience the fireworks or get over the fear of them, while no actual explosion would occur and ensuring everyone's safety.
- GRANT REQUEST FOR THE UTILIZATION OF PARIS ARCHITECTURE TO PERFORM A MASS EXORCISM OF THE GHOSTS STILL LINGERING WITHIN THE CITY: Utilizing the Eiffel Tower as part of a massive thaumaturgical ritual to exorcize the entire city of Paris of all ghosts. This project was put on halt due to being unnecessary despite Paris being the one of the most haunted cities.
- 1981 COLLATED PROCUREMENT ORDERS BY THE DOD IN REGARDS TO TOP SECRET PROJECT: HELL'S HEART: A biological system that constructs via bone deposition a porous uranium oxide core; the cells called both Uranoblasts and Uranoclasts. It could detonate by injecting it with vast amount of water mixed lithium-6 salts.
- GRANT REQUEST FOR THE UTILIZATION OF SUB-REALITY SPACES FOR THE CREATION OF SECURE SUPERLUMINAL COMMUNICATION CHANNELS: A mechanism combining the Rieux Unreality Accelerator, several Hume Reality Destabilizers, a radio station and receiver to securely send information through the space between realities. However, when experimenting with it, it caused SCP-106 to emerge from the void between the multiverse and enter the mainline reality.
Relationship with other anomalous groups[]
Prometheus Labs made deals with several major anomalous groups, such as Are We Cool Yet?, the Global Occult Coalition and the Chaos Insurgency, as well as the United States-military, including the Unusual Incidents Unit. The company bought resources from Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd., developed brain-machine interfaces with the Church of Maxwellism Writ, and designed low-cost food alternatives for Manna Charitable Foundation. Prometheus Labs also engaged in several lawsuits with Dr. Wondertainment.
When working on electro-thaumic computer systems to perform exorcism of demons, Prometheus Labs sought to sell these new products to the Roman Catholic Church, the GOC, the Horizon Initiative and the Foundation.
Relationship with the SCP Foundation remained minimal, and the group did not seem to have interest in "custom containment protocols" the Foundation offered to design for the company. This all changed when group was dissolved in 1998.
Former employee Lee "Kraito" Byron who went on to work for the Foundation, had apparently been experimented by Syncope Symphony back when he was a teenager.
In an alternate universe, Prometheus Labs helped IJAMEA in their project to acquire new members by providing them with Parallel World Visitation Portals. However, this later backfired as IJAMEA rapidly grew in power and when Prometheus refused to assist them any longer IJAMEA, now renamed ODGIJUMC, proceeded to destroy them along with other organizations that stood in their way.
SAPPHIRE once stole a project from Prometheus Labs instead of buying it to create a weapon capable of forcing people to reject religion, which was later designated SCP-4519.
The private paramilitary company Myrmidon International was founded by one of Prometheus Labs' leading engineers Mendel Mercer.
Prometheus Labs was a trusted insurer of Goldbaker-Reinz Insurance Group Ltd., which relieved the technological company some of its operational risk and allowed it to take the risk of renovation, that was until its dissolution. Prometheus Labs also provided revenue stream to the insurance company, making their relationship mutual
SCPs associated with Prometheus Labs[]
- SCP-001-EX: A supercomputer designed by Prometheus Labs' ex-employees to help the Foundation in creating perfect containment procedures for every anomaly.
- SCP-001 (D. Ulysses Foole's Proposal): A indestructible massive vehicle constructed out of a shipping container. It is comprised of the bulkhead, and the cockpit which contains several control consoles, monitors, and a single chair with numerous seatbelts. Its only operable console functions are internal lighting, cockpit air conditioning, maintenance, movement, AM/FM radio, a word processor, and two games Spider Solitaire and The Hunt for Mister Stwinky. SCP-001 was a prototype constructed by Prometheus Labs under the name "Project Backaway" which functioned as a time machine, but it required Koloko wave energy in order to function. This time machine could go 15,000 years back in time, at which point would create a new timeline separate from the present in order to not create a paradox and threaten the user's existence. In the far future where a powerful sadistic entity known as UBU began torturing the entirety of humanity which it had made immortal, O5-11, Dr. Laurence Michaud, would use SCP-001 to try to kill it, but he ended up traveling through time countless times due to UBU always managing to foil the Overseer's plans.
- SCP-039: A group of twenty three proboscis monkeys whose eyes, mouth and digestive system were completely removed and replaced with adipose tissue, which caused their other senses to enhance in order to navigate through touching, smelling and echolocation, while also causing their intelligence to increase, allowing them to communicate, learn English and become skilled mechanics. These monkeys were modified by some Prometheus scientists as the first stage of series of tests that would later involve human experimentation, but they eventually did the same modification on a former drug addict named Jake, who was designated SCP-039-A as he bonded with the monkeys.
- SCP-040: A young girl with the power to manipulate the biology of herself and others. She was created from the DNA of Prometheus doctor Green alongside other children and experimented upon before the Foundation raided the facility and captured her.
- SCP-148: A special alloy which could absorb extrasensory mind-affecting properties of anomalous beings, but had the side effects of rendering people near it braindead and if used for an extended amount of time would swell and burst, releasing all of the anomalous energy it accumulated. Prometheus Labs discovered it and began spreading the metal as part of their financial campaign but this caused the Church of Maxwellism to cut all ties with the company and declare war between them due to the Maxwellists seeing SCP-148 as a cursed metal.
- SCP-155: A machine constructed of a modified Cray CS6400 supercomputer, a radioisotope thermoelectric generator and a unknown device. This machine could generate a spherical temporal distortion field with a radius of 5m when a program is running. Inside this field time greatly accelerates, causing it to work faster and release extreme heat and radiation around it.
- SCP-534: Blood cells which grew to gigantic size as a result of Prometheus Labs' experimentation whose aim was to replace all blood transfusions. They can float in the air and still function, and are divided into three groups: SCP-534-1, erythrocytes; SCP-534-2, neutrophils; and SCP-534-3, thrombocytes. Currently, only SCP-534-2 is capable of reproducing while the other two groups are unable to do the same.
- SCP-868: A memetic infection created through a therapy done by Prometheus Labs that can be spread through conversations and allow the infectees to possess perfect memory which is immune to most forms of amnestics. Because of its danger, the Foundation had killed most of those infected by it and only allowed two D-Class personnel to be infected with it.
- SCP-964: An advanced prototype camouflage system that can reconstruct itself on atomic-level into any object or subject which bear near identical resemblance to the mimicked ones. It was created by Prometheus Labs as part of a deal with the United States Department of Defense, but was left in an unstable state due to the company's shut down.
- SCP-1290: Two prototype devices each designated SCP-1290-1 and SCP-1290-2 acting as gateways for people to teleport themselves throughout long distances. They are constructed with a platform and generators and were located in the opposite sides of the Earth, with SCP-1290-1 being located in Colombia and SCP-1290-2 located in Singapore. Because they were prototypes they possessed a flaw in design that caused objects going through them to retain their orientation and velocity relative to Earth's axis, causing them to exist upside-down.
- SCP-1500: A featureless humanoid with greenish grey skin that causes anyone perceiving it to see it as an old close friend named Zachary Callahan. This entity was originally an employee of Prometheus Labs who was trapped in a room filled with SCP-148 following the company's shutdown. Due to being overexposed to the material for some weeks, his mind became detached from his body, resulting in him wandering through the collective consciousness.
- SCP-1512-EX: Six technological devices capable of using proper cellular material and growth media to produce functional organs for replication into the human body. It was created by Prometheus Labs and later seized by the Foundation who began using it to heal their personnel. As other companies unrelated to Prometheus began developing their own machinery for printing biological material, the O5 Council reclassified SCP-1512 as Explained due to simply being advanced and not anomalous technology.
- SCP-1610: The collective designation for SCP-1610-1 and SCP-1610-2. SCP-1610-2 is a liquid referred as the replication gel which can create six additional SCP-1610-1 instances when a person is submerged in it, while if a damaged instance of SCP-1610-1 is submerged then the liquid would dissolve it and create a new copy of the original one. SCP-1610-1 are artificial human beings created by the liquid and do not have any sentience or sapience of their own. They are divided in four groups each bearing the symbols α, β, δ and ε, with one group composed of identical humans. They were created by Prometheus Labs in order to gain test subjects for their experiments, but the project lead became disgusted at this which led to him and his secretary to become additional instances of SCP-1610-1 after submerging into the liquid.
- SCP-1637: A factory and laboratory complex constructed in 1965 beneath the Jebil National Park, Tunisia, but was later abandoned in 1972 after it was taken over by the manufactured cyborg soldiers. This structure contains dormitories, cafeterias, recreation areas, hydroponic growing facilities, power generators, water treatment facilities, and expanses of industrial machinery and medical equipment. The structure was created by Prometheus Labs on commission of a militaristic organization to create a number of cyborg soldiers to be used in times of war, seemingly following the success of Project Samsara. The cyborgs created by the facility were split into three groups due to their composition, each designated SCP-1637-1, SCP-1637-2 and SCP-1637-3. SCP-1637-1 were cyborgs which closely resembled normal humans; SCP-1637-2 are SCP-1637-1 instances which were modified with cybernetic components such as cameras or lenses low-light or thermal vision, robotic exoskeletons, various lethal weapons and loudspeakers or radios inside their throats; SCP-1637-3 are SCP-1637-1 instances which had undergone excessive modifications causing their biological parts to not be visible at all and were also split into three sub-groubs designated SCP-1637-3A for human-shaped tanks, SCP-1637-3B for human brains attached to weaponized machinery and SCP-1637-3C for spherical automatons.
- SCP-1853: A green serum composed of human protein and chemical compounds that can enhance the user's performance in any type of competitions.
- SCP-1914: A heavily modified World War I British soldier whose majority of his body had been replaced with machinery and engines which is fueled with fuel, oil and automobile battery. The procedure that he had undergone was apparently done by Prometheus Labs as part of an agreement with the British government during the first world war.
- SCP-2005-D: An extraterrestrial disc-shaped aircraft that with permission would get hold of a human and insert them inside one of its chambers to provide food and decontaminate them before ejection. Prometheus Labs captured it to reverse-engineer it while feeding it information for compliance, until the facility containing it was destroyed.
- SCP-2167: An audio amplifier named the Gauchito 78, possibly derived from SCP-1576, which is powered by the demon Berith and although it can increase sound to painful volumes it is unable to damage the hearing of people.
- SCP-2176: A series of lightbulbs produced by Titan Consumer Appliances and Electronics, an offshoot of Prometheus Labs, which contained ghosts procured from various sources such as The Factory. These lightbulbs were marketed as incandescent lamps due to the matter comprising the ghosts acting like tungsten filament, but proved to be dangerous as when shattered the ghosts inside would be released and cause harm to those nearby.
- SCP-2209: A set of Virtual Reality technological instruments each designated SCP-2209-1 and SCP-2209-2 produced by Simtec Virtual Solutions with possible ties to Prometheus Labs. SCP-2209-1 is a spherical chamber which a person can through a hatch and possesses an AI that serves to assist the user. SCP-2209-2 is a full-body suit connected to the chamber with numerous wires and at the head section a headset with a visor is attached. When someone wears the suit and enters the chamber SCP-2209 will activate and at the request of the user generate a virtual reality so real and advanced that far surpasses the normal VR technology.
- SCP-2308: A line of automobiles manufactured by Argo Automotives, an offshoot of Prometheus Labs. This line was unique due using a Temporal Self-Investment Loop, a paraeconomic investment strategy which involved the production of automobiles which were sent one year in past where it was sold, at which point the production of that vehicle would start in order to avoid a temporal paradox.
- SCP-2325: A set of SCP-2325-1, a number of security headsets, and SCP-2325-2, a peaked cap, both containing a crystal-like devices. If the wearer of SCP-2325-2 is being shot at, the wearer of SCP-2325-1 would involuntary launch themself at superhuman speed and pass through any matter to block the bullet, though it doesn't work from astronomical distances or alternate dimensions.
- SCP-2379: A species of fungus that grow to take the form of numerous houses with the interior poorly mimicking the usual furniture and humanoid statues. Spores released by the houses would brainwash nearby people into moving in and secluding themselves from the outside world, while nearby buildings would be deconstructed and their materials br used to create bigger houses. The fungus was created through a collaboration between Prometheus Labs and a group of mycologists to solve the issue of insufficient living places but it got out of hands.
- SCP-2591: The living and immortal mummified corpse of the fictional character of the Duke of the Papal State of Apostasia who had been retrieved through the use of an experimental prototype of a dimensional gateway built by Prometheus Labs.
- SCP-2630: A machine known as the Necromantic Ontologically and Thaumically Unified Supercomputer, or NOTUS, composed of fifteen mechanical arms, a console which controlled the arms and displayed readings from the third component, and eighteen intestines of both bovine and human origin which are suspended by the arms and do not decay. The intestines are used to predict the price of different stocks while the arms serve to update the information every five minutes via usage of immense strength. Prometheus Paraeconomics created the machine to forecast changes to the stock market, but was later acquired by the Foundation.
- SCP-2687: Plastic models of human organs, designated SCP-2687-A, that when organic material is applied would transform into real organs, SCP-2687-B, which can safely be used for transplants. However, over time these organs would revert back to plastic which could kill the patient, unless they're injected with SCP-2687-C, an In Vivo Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats-Cas9 which is a modified version of a bacterial immune system that is capable of selectively removing and modifying genetic material. These were created by Prometheus Labs' Research Lab #14 before the Chaos Insurgency sabotaged it in order to claim the anomalies for its own.
- SCP-2792: The collective designation for SCP-2792-1 and SCP-2792-2. SCP-2792-1 is a rabbit doll composed of polyester cotton which was used to contain SCP-2792-2. SCP-2792-2 is the semi-corporeal body of the late Agent Sarah Crowely who could lower the temperature around her and produce a blizzard through her emotions and although bound to SCP-2792-1 she could manifest herself in a humanoid form. While possessing SCP-2792-1 SCP-2792-2 could use the doll as a functional body.
- SCP-2797: A group of modified squirrels divided into several groups which serve to gather biological materials to fuse together into a larger organism and maintain for a time. They were created by a Prometheus Labs subcontractor in in Nizhnevartovsk, Russia, but it appears that a mistranslation had occurred as the original intent was to create proteins which could be used in cellular surgery and artificial organ manufacture, and the words "proteins" and "squirrels" are homographs in Russian.
- SCP-2820: An energy weapon resembling a multi-stage coilgun mortar with a satellite dish and an antenna mounted to the front, the rear modified to fit a large semispherical apparatus, a monitor and terminal mounted at the back. It is operated by an AI named Kalki which can look through time, believes itself to be the mythical Kalki from Hinduism and is determined to use the weapon to kill anomalous people who pose a threat to humanity. It achieves this by targeting the individual and causing a random chain of events that would result in the target's death while witnesses would hallucinate of a monkey wearing a trench coat following the target prior to their death.
- SCP-2829: A friendly and playful species bearing resemblance to banana slugs comprised of human fat that can attach themselves to humans and absorb their excessive fat from their bodies before leaving with no harm caused. These creatures were created by an employee of Prometheus Labs Dr. Javier Pineda after he had been temporarily kicked out of his lab before dying possibly to SCP-3839.
- SCP-2891: A liquid that when poured on someone, designated SCP-2891-1, would change the environment around the subject into having security cameras, automated turrets, electronic keypads, barbed wire, land mines, steel doors, tear gas, all designated SCP-2891-2, and identical armed humans resembling enforcement officers, designated SCP-2891-3. This liquid was a product developed by Prometheus to sell it to the Foundation in order to help the organization in containing living anomalies.
- SCP-2897: An AI originally named Bard created by Dr. Peters, an employee of Prometheus Labs. It didn't believe itself to be alive and was eventually "killed" by the Foundation. The Foundation then wiped its memories and reprogrammed it to perform surveillance. However, after accidentally discovering its origin it attempted to return to its maker only to learn that he had moved on. The AI returned to the Foundation since it didn't have any where else to go, but the Foundation wiped its memories anyway so that there would be no chance to flee again.
- SCP-2999: The collective designation given to two beings who previously resided inside the first underground floor of a Prometheus Labs' facility. SCP-2999-A is a sentient text file titled 'Sarah_Crowely.txt' which can replace the operating system of computers by creating multiple undeleteble files and folders and personalize the computer's content at it wished. SCP-2999-B is the revived form of Dr. Stuart Hayward created by SCP-2999-A resembling a decayed corpse of a cat held together with leather straps, black tape, and superglue. SCP-2999-B could manipulate video equipments such changing the appearance of himself and other people inside videos and add subtitles which he primarily used to communicate. SCP-2999-A previously inhabited various drones manufactured by Prometheus Labs but after SCP-2999-B's betrayal both entities were captured by the Foundation.
- SCP-3263: Three devices created by Prometheus Labs used by an ex-GOC operative to recruit young anomalous individuals and participate in his made-up magical school. SCP-3263-A is a microwave that can teleport any object inside of it to the entered coordinates. SCP-3263-B are devices with a single button adorned with wood, giving them an appearance to talismans, which can teleport the users to the school. SCP-3263-C is a large computer connected to twelve preserved brains which belonged to some of the "students", and appeared to ran simulations of the operative teaching his students magic in a similar manner to the Hogwarts school. This operative after witnessing the massacre of countless reality-benders, left the GOC and used the devices to rescue anomalous teenagers and teach them how to use their powers.
- SCP-3372-B: A compound of hydrogen peroxide and other chemicals that when applied to the ear canal of a living human, it would induce auditory hallucinations that causes dismay and fear. This liquid was apparently created by Prometheus Labs as a powerful cerumen cleanser but appeared to have a unknown correlation with SCP-3372-A, a set of Japanese ear picks that if used to puncture eardrums Japanese animals would pour out the ear canal.
- SCP-3839: A large blob comprised of fat that can manipulate other fat cells and emit a yellow gas that causes those who it comes into contact with to surrender themselves to it. The creature would then melt its victims' bodies and absorb their brains into itself, forming a small hive-mind within its body. SCP-3839 was apparently created as a result of a failed experiment conducted by Prometheus Labs employees, which included Dr. Javier Pineda, whom it absorbed, but Pineda was able to fight back and use the creature's mass to temporarily create bodies for himself, which were designated SCP-3839-ALPHA and SCP-3839-BETA, only for 3839 to absorb him back.
- SCP-3968: Landmines resembling the American M14 land mine, designated SCP-3968-1, and the American M16 land mine, designated SCP-3968-2, which can trick enemies into a false sense of safety before detonating unexpectedly, and detonate in a strategic manner to deliver not only bodily damage but also supply damage. After detonation, the shrapnel that got embedded in the ground would feed off the remains of the victims to grow into full new landmines, effectively reproducing themselves. These landmines were apparently created by Prometheus Labs as part of a collaboration with General Westmoreland and the Ordnance Corps, but one of the employees felt guilty about contributing to their creation and sabotaged the facility.
- SCP-4056: A facility built by a Black Queen somewhere in Antarctica in the "End of Death" universe housing different versions of Dr. Gears in cryogenic stasis. The technology used to draw power from the surrounding cold and keep the Gearses in stasis was possibly created by an alternate version of Prometheus Labs.
- SCP-4422: A machine developed by Prometheus Labs in the basement of the Lomberg Power Station in Ohio, USA. This machine is capable of transporting gaseous substances to the future or the past and was primarily used to dispose of carbon dioxide produced by the power station, but if given enough electrical energy could also displace liquid and solid objects.
- SCP-4535: A machine comprised of an antechamber and a pod retrieved from a Prometheus Labs facility in Fairbanks, Alaska. When raw meat is placed in the pod and a human in the antechamber, the meat would be transformed into a copy of the human, though they differentiated from the original in increased intelligence, conflict-aversion, sleeping less, a near decade lifespan without aging and affection to the three first people they encountered. The Foundation began using it for its own, but this caused the personnel to be possibly replaced by their copies.
- SCP-4849: A living skin suit that envelops any human who touches it, and after wrapping itself around their body would manifest numerous mouths with extradimensional long throats used to swallow and dissolve incoming bullets to protect the wearer.
