That is not what happened. When the Foundation sought out the audience members, it's stated they found "nothing of note", which simply means they didn't find anything unusual or extraordinary about them. It doesn't mean the entire audience was untraceable. Especially considering the fact that, as far as I know, the recording is of a game that actually happened in real life.

* According to the author, the main point behind [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-135 SCP-135]] is this and WhoWantsToLiveForever.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-138 SCP-138]], The Ever-Living Man. A severely decayed, hideously decrepit corpse of a man who is at least 4000 years old, with dozens of unhealed mortal wounds all over his body, who for some reason cannot die... no matter how much he wants to. The Foundation are trying to euthanize him out of sympathy, but so far, their attempts have been ineffective.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-231 SCP-231-7]] has to be restrained at all times, and attended by doctors who [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate haven't taken the Hippocratic Oath]]. Once a day, she has to be subjected to Procedure 110-Montauk, which is so horrible that [[NothingIsScarier most of the details are classified and one researcher even commits suicide after knowing what it entails]], or else she gives birth to something that will possibly end the world. Worse, the psychological trauma appears to be an important part of the process; after every fourth procedure, they erase her memory of the whole shebang so that she doesn't get used to it.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-256 SCP-256]] is apparently a woman trapped inside a modified typewriter. She must and ''does'' scream in a way (the machine can't write, and the electric charge it emits is similar to a voice - getting more intense when "it's in pain").
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-267 SCP-267]] is a subspecies of naked mole rat that feeds on tumors. They acquire these by using poison to paralyze prey, then dragging them down to their burrows. There, they chew off its limbs and use carcinogenic venom to cause it to grow tumors, which are bitten off and eaten. They keep the larder creature there until it dies, which is why they prefer humans; they can last for ''decades''.
* Anyone who's turned inside-out by [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-309 SCP-309]]'s effect cannot be changed back and are left in constant pain. Fortunately, some of them actually die.
* Victims of [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-318 SCP-318]] are imprisoned within paper scrolls, and they can only see and communicate with the outside world when unrolled (and the Foundation doesn't do that often.) If the paper is damaged enough, they stop responding... but it's unknown if they die, or just lose their only connection with the world.
* Each of the band members of [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-332 SCP-332]] seem to be aware of their surroundings, but something unseen controls their movement, making them stand still like a statue until they all play [[HiveMind in unison]], trampling over anyone nearby. For nearly 40 years, they have been in physical stasis, not aging, nor taking any wear and tear by standing in the same spot, and now the SCP Foundation has placed a tall concrete barrier around them. The agents, for some reason, chose to confiscate the whole band, members and all, rather than the instruments, which were hinted to be the source of that controlling force.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-373 SCP-373]] allows one to talk to people who, apparently, are imprisoned in a black void where they perceive nothing but the voice of whoever is talking to them. Though it might all be a hoax on part of SCP-373.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-439 SCP-439]] is a parasite that causes Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP), and then turns the body into a hive. The Foundation stopped testing it when they discovered that the victim apparently remains conscious through all this.
* [[http://scp-wiki.net/scp-446 SCP-446 ("Human Mannequin")]]. From the hints given (e.g. eyes following the nearest person and trying to make eye contact, trying to speak while being vivisected, etc.), the mannequin was originally a human woman who was somehow changed into its current form. It can't communicate with the Foundation doctors studying it though it very much wants to.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-451 SCP-451]] believes himself to be in this situation; he even goes as far as to reference the TropeNamer after finding it on someone's bookshelf.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-515 SCP-515]] has to be restrained to the point of nigh-immobility, with his limb bones broken for good measure, because whenever 515 moves, a cluster of asteroids comes closer to Earth. The faster he moves (or, formerly, she, but the first 515 died and the current one popped up to replace her), the faster the rocks move.
* Anyone who looks at [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-531 SCP-531]] when the statue is not looking at another of its own kind will undergo a slow and painful transformation into another SCP-531. Once complete, their soul is forever trapped in the statue. The testing log suggests that they're more or less content in their new form as long as they have a partner to keep them company, but for those who don't, this trope is in full effect.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-682 SCP-682]]'s containment procedures require it to be kept fully submerged in a tub of hydrochloric acid at all times, and don't allow it to move or speak at all (except for testing, which usually involves an attempt at terminating it). Given that 682 is an OmnicidalManiac capable of regenerating FromASingleCell, this is probably justified.
** In [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/roget-s-proposal Roget's Proposa of SCP-001l]], it is trapped inside SCP-296, a chamber of beings who determine whether or not those who enter are guilty and act out punishments they feel are appropriate. 682's punishment is that it's denied the opportunity to kill its captors, but also denied the ability to die.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/decomm:scp-723-d The physically-invulnerable SCP-723-D's]] initial fate; sealed within a massive block of concrete. Given how badly written he was, though, it wasn't undeserved. He did manage to escape one last time, but the two thankless personnel tasked with his decommission killed him by complete accident, after SCP-723 fell victim to a previously unknown [[WeaksauceWeakness peanut allergy]] while the three were getting drunk at a local bar. They then put SCP-723's body back in the concrete. Just to be safe.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-747 SCP-747]] is a group of ghostly children in animal masks that dance around any subject they take interest in, turning that subject into a doll over a period of time. During that period, the subject loses all five major senses until final transformation and it is implied that the dolls are still conscious.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-762 SCP-762]] is an iron maiden that gives anyone inside of it a HealingFactor and immortality until they are released, but puts sharp spikes through their body. When it was recovered, it contained someone who was probably stuck inside for centuries.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-835 SCP-835]]. Read the [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/835aarfull uncensored]] [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/835revised logs]].
* Anyone who touches [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-911 SCP-911]] ends up floating in an infinite featureless void, unless they manage to escape through a portal that only opens rarely for a few seconds.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1034 SCP-1034]] traps the souls of its victims in their desiccated corpses and leaves them in horrible pain, and it is heavily implied that the owner of SCP-1034 was using the victims as sex toys. [[LaserGuidedKarma He gets what he deserves]] when The Foundation uses him as a test subject for SCP-1034.
* Subverted with [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1520 SCP-1520]], a centuries old Japanese monk. He exists in a state as essentially a living mummy, a fate that would drive most people completely insane, but he did it to himself on purpose as part of a ''sokushinbutsu'' ritual, a form of ritualistic suicide to achieve Nirvana. SCP-1520 has been in this state since the 16th century, and hasn't particularly suffered for it, other than mild disappointment that he has not achieved enlightenment.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1922 SCP-1922]] reanimates an hour after dying of natural causes. During this period, he claims his consciousness is transferred to a human locus filled with body parts and waits there until he reanimates. His continuing peripheral vascular disease is making his limbs gangrenous and require amputation. He slowly went insane, screaming every time he reanimates now, and his requests to cremate his body are denied.
* [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1959 SCP-1959]] is a Soviet cosmonaut who's been trapped alone in Earth orbit since TheSeventies but is unable to die. According to [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/ground-control one story]], he's been possessed by an EldritchAbomination and is [[SealedEvilInADuel constantly fighting to keep it in orbit with him]] rather than let it lay waste to Earth below.
* One possible future the Foundation discovered using [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2003 SCP-2003]] involved the Sun suddenly collapsing into a black hole in February 2026, and all humans on Earth left frozen in place yet fully conscious and unable to die for some reason.
* Played straight and then heartwarmingly subverted with [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2265 SCP-2265-A]]; unlike his companion, 2265-A was completely aware of his surroundings, and nearly went insane. However, he managed to adapt and even accept his condition. Even more so when the anomaly stopped.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2669 SCP-2669]] is a space probe developed by the Foundation in 2004 for the purpose of finding life on exoplanets. [[spoiler:[[BrainUploading It contains the consciousness of one Dr. Asma Tareen]], an exobiologist who volunteered for the project. Turns out spending approx. 760 years in FTL flying around the galaxy alone in a box with nothing but the soul-crushing realisation that [[NothingIsScarier there's no other life out there]] drove the poor doctor mad, and now she's taken control of the probe and is flying it back to Earth to get back to her body... [[EarthShatteringKaboom at 5 times the speed of light]].]]
* Anyone who is locked inside [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2701 SCP-2701]] will be trapped in a state of complete sensory deprivation, not even able to feel their own body, while remaining fully conscious, essentially living as a disembodied soul in a void until reaching their release date. Even worse, the subject will also perceive time a lot slower (a few minutes in the real world translates into ''weeks''). People emerging from that are left with extremely severe psychological damage from the prolonged sensory deprivation. It was created from a DealWithTheDevil by a prison warden who felt that his prisoners were not suffering enough punishment for their crimes.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2718 SCP-2718]] is [[spoiler:the afterlife, where a consciousness experiences nothing but their decaying physical body's pains, ''forever''. At least, that's what the {{Unreliable Narrator}} says.]]
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3001 SCP-3001]], where a reality-stabilizing device ends up transporting Dr. Robert Scranton to an endless black void. Because the place has a low Hume field, he doesn't die, instead forced to endure six years of [[SanitySlippage slowly losing his mind]], believing the [[CompanionCube device to be a sentient being]] he calls "Red." At the end of the story, the device makes it out, along with [[BodyHorror what's left of Robert which has melted during the restabilization]]. [[WordOfGod The article's author]] later clarified that [[UncertainDoom not all of Robert made it out, and if he is still alive, there's almost nothing left to save]].
** Then, somehow, [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/until-death This tale]] manages to make it worse for him. [[spoiler:Dr. Scranton survived part of his body returning to our reality. And five years, eleven months, and twenty one days was just the beginning. He spends another 25 years trapped in there, eventually learning to control the red reality similarly to a powerful type green in our world. Then he figures out how to generate his own wormholes between the red reality and ours. But after twenty-five years, he's been left an elderly humanoid, with a general appearance of advanced decomposition. And he's covered in a black, mucus-like substance that corrodes any material it touches. As if that weren't bad enough, more than thirty years of that hell have driven him quite insane, fixated entirely on returning to his wife Anna Lang. Then, after he kills her with his corrosion, he's just insane, predatory, and has a specific set of powers.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3359 SCP-3359]] is a cursed AncientTomb that transforms whoever eats the food within it into a [[{{Mummy}} walking mummified corpse]] that instinctively seeks out [[VampiricDraining the blood of the living]] in order to return to their former state. If victims aren't able to absorb the necessary fluids regularly, they age rapidly over the course of a month before reappearing in the tomb as a desiccated corpse once more. The only way to end the cycle of [[TheUndead undeath]] is to have someone else take your place in the tomb, and according to the second recorded victim the entire process is incredibly traumatic as you [[FateWorseThanDeath "feel the pain of dying" month after month]].
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3420 SCP-3420]] was inadvertently created by one of the leaders of the anomalous artist group "Gamers Against Weed" when he [[PowerIncontinence "dreamt some people in pain"]]. The result was a PocketDimension in the form of interconnected torture chambers filled with humanoid EnergyBeings in constant pain and compelled to use torture devices on themselves. Thankfully the Foundation was able to mitigate their pain using fentanyl and amnestics, as well as persuading them to stop mutilating themselves.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3663 SCP-3663]] was once a young child who has become forever stuck in a game of make-believe. While playing a game with another kid, 3663 somehow became trapped in the cardboard costume he was wearing and the imaginary abilities he had became real, allowing him to transport people between random tunnels. He now wanders random tunnels, never aging or dying. It's established that he's been stuck like this since ''1979'', and he has at least some awareness of his past life, enough that he was thrown into a fit of rage when the kid he was originally playing with died of old age.
* Poor Researcher Talloran gets this in [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3999 SCP-3999]], where he singlehandedly combats a RealityWarper entity obsessed with {{Cruel And Unusual Death}}s that always brings Talloran back to life. Talloran fights this thing for millions of years, it's stated, and still doesn't quit. He gets out of it by dying, thankfully, but it included such tortures as being melted and suggesting that Talloran's sister be raped.
* "[[http://www.scpwiki.com/scp-5031 SCP-5031]] is to be contained in an airtight iron cell in Bio-Site 59. The structure must be inspected for imperfections on a bi-weekly basis. No other interaction necessary." And that was that for a sentient creature whose jailer decided he had no need to pry further into, never figuring out if it had been entirely necessary, let alone ethical. For ''ten years''. Thankfully, later researchers found a better way, and now it can be at least presumed more content, but it spent most of those ten years screaming.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2669 [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2669 SCP-2669]] is a space probe developed by the Foundation in 2004 for the purpose of finding life on exoplanets. [[spoiler:[[BrainUploading It contains the consciousness of one Dr. Asma Tareen]], an exobiologist who volunteered for the project. Turns out spending approx. 760 years in FTL flying around the galaxy alone in a box with nothing but the soul-crushing realisation that [[NothingIsScarier there's no other life out there]] drove the poor doctor mad, and now she's taken control of the probe and is flying it back to Earth to get back to her body... [[EarthShatteringKaboom at 5 times the speed of light]].]]
* Anyone who is locked inside [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2701 [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2701 SCP-2701]] will be trapped in a state of complete sensory deprivation, not even able to feel their own body, while remaining fully conscious, essentially living as a disembodied soul in a void until reaching their release date. Even worse, the subject will also perceive time a lot slower (a few minutes in the real world translates into ''weeks''). People emerging from that are left with extremely severe psychological damage from the prolonged sensory deprivation. It was created from a DealWithTheDevil by a prison warden who felt that his prisoners were not suffering enough punishment for their crimes.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2718 [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2718 SCP-2718]] is [[spoiler:the afterlife, where a consciousness experiences nothing but their decaying physical body's pains, ''forever''. At least, that's what the {{Unreliable Narrator}} says.]]
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3001 [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3001 SCP-3001]], where a reality-stabilizing device ends up transporting Dr. Robert Scranton to an endless black void. Because the place has a low Hume field, he doesn't die, instead forced to endure six years of [[SanitySlippage slowly losing his mind]], believing the [[CompanionCube device to be a sentient being]] he calls "Red." At the end of the story, the device makes it out, along with [[BodyHorror what's left of Robert which has melted during the restabilization]]. [[WordOfGod The article's author]] later clarified that [[UncertainDoom not all of Robert made it out, and if he is still alive, there's almost nothing left to save]].
** Then, somehow, [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/until-death [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/until-death This tale]] manages to make it worse for him. [[spoiler:Dr. Scranton survived part of his body returning to our reality. And five years, eleven months, and twenty one days was just the beginning. He spends another 25 years trapped in there, eventually learning to control the red reality similarly to a powerful type green in our world. Then he figures out how to generate his own wormholes between the red reality and ours. But after twenty-five years, he's been left an elderly humanoid, with a general appearance of advanced decomposition. And he's covered in a black, mucus-like substance that corrodes any material it touches. As if that weren't bad enough, more than thirty years of that hell have driven him quite insane, fixated entirely on returning to his wife Anna Lang. Then, after he kills her with his corrosion, he's just insane, predatory, and has a specific set of powers.

* [[http://www.scpwiki.com/scp-6373 SCP-6373]] is a group of [[PerversePuppet marionettes]] possessed by the spirits of an EvilPuppeteer from the 19th century and his wife who [[WomanScorned ruined his livelihood in retaliation for his unfaithfulness]], with him trapping the two of them in a self-made Hell as an act of revenge. Initially the plays the puppets put on were innocuous enough, but [[UnfinishedBusiness their souls began to wither the longer they stayed on Earth]] and devolved into senseless acts of violence against the female puppet with his wife's consciousness (and occasionally the audience) or StrawNihilist rants on the nature of death until they finally gave out. This was on a daily basis for 98 years.
* [[http://www.scpwiki.com/scp-6969 SCP-6969]] takes a [[Lol69 lazy sex joke]] and turns it into a goddamn CosmicHorrorStory. Basically, every time a person climaxes, they become trapped in a two-second GroundhogDayLoop, one that lasts (from their perspective) anywhere from two weeks to ''quintillions of years''. Thankfully, once the loop finally ends they lose their memory of the experience.
