Lobotomy Corp Abnormalities ~ Nothing There 

“If you don’t take care of it quickly enough, it will turn into this... *wonderful monstrosity* “

Angela: Did you notice a cactus on your desk? It was left by someone who wants to get close to you. Me: oh hey you're right must be one of my fr-wait a minute. I don't have friends. *flicks on observation cameras* Me: Oh good he's still in containment.

I fear no man. But that *thing* ... _It scares me._

"Manager, *Nothing there* has escaped. Can you send a response team?" **inhales** *AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

A killer social butterfly that can't talk and has the appearance of nightmare fuel. Wonderful. Also, I can hear 'I love you' be played in repeat when Nothing There gains a shell.

I've analyzed some of the lines Nothing There says in its final form, displayed here in order. Some of them may be incorrect, it's hard to tell what exactly some of them are saying. Female Voice 1: Oh, well hello there dear. I've been expecting you. Female Voice 2: HELP! HELP!! Male Voice 1: Help me! Male Voice 2 (slowed down): Hey man! Unknown Voice 1 and 2: Hello? Unknown Voice 3: (unintelligible, sounds like growling) Female Voice 2: HELP! SOMEONE HELP! HELP!! Male Voice 1: Help...help...help... Female Recording Voice: 6, 15, 50. We are in direct position- Male Recording Voice: You have received a voicemail. Female Voice 2: HELP! HELP!! Female Voice 3: How may I help you? Female Recording Voice: 48, 49, 50. Speak to the National Telegram and Coroner Service. Female Voice 1: So I reach to you, with the best part of me. Female Voice 3: How may I help you? Female Voice 1: Together, we are singing the song of creation. Together, we are seeing the soul of creation. Female Voice 3: How may I help you? How may I help you? How may I help you? Female Voice 1: Together, we are one. Together, we are one. Update: I have found nearly all of the sound files in Nothing There's final form. Female Voice 1/Female Voice 3: freesound.org/people/pyro13djt/sounds/256031/ freesound.org/people/pyro13djt/sounds/338881/ freesound.org/people/pyro13djt/sounds/331934/ Female Voice 2: freesound.org/people/AmeAngelofSin/sounds/326893/ Male Voice 1: freesound.org/people/vanceparley/sounds/351598/ freesound.org/people/jppi_Stu/sounds/122058/ Unknown Voice 2: freesound.org/people/hauntedswkids/sounds/253387/ Male Recording Voice: freesound.org/people/SomeAudioGuy/sounds/43881/ I have been unable to find the other "Hello?" as well as the "Hey Man!", growling, and background transmission. Edit (9/20/20): Newest Theory: Dang, it's been over a year since I've posted this comment. I of course appreciate the feedback I've gotten on this. Never thought this comment would be seen. But anyway, I digress. I have done some more research and I believe that I must make another revision on my theory. I have come to realize that I missed one crucial detail: that Nothing There may have started out in the Corporation in the first place. You see, some of Nothing There's flavor text that appears during works states: "'She' was (Employee Name)'s senior. They had never spoken a word to each other, but they may have been coworkers." as well as "(Employee Name) had seen 'her' employee profile. The reason (Employee Name) could remember 'her' is that she had a distinguishable mole on 'her' face." Nothing There, or at least part of Nothing There, was an employee of Lobotomy Corporation. To further prove that, I was recently able to access the Lobotomy Corporation assets, and I noticed something in the Nothing There sprite: underneath Nothing There's head (in its original form) is a clerk outfit, specifically one from Malkuth's department. The outfit is red with a green collar and green buttons. So either this is the "she" referred to in the flavor text, or this is simply another part of Nothing There that worked in the Corporation. Speaking of Malkuth, that leads me to the next part of my theory. Spoilers are ahead, so if you have not completed any core suppressions I advise that you turn back. Right before Malkuth's Core Suppression, we learn that Malkuth was originally Elijah. Elijah, against A's orders, experimented on herself with Cogito. This led her to fall to the floor, writhing in pain, with half of her teeth and nails gone. It sounds similar to Nothing There's physical description, but way more severe. And considering that Nothing There is most likely an amalgamation of one or more employees and other people, it's probable that Nothing There was created, at least in part, by the Cogito experiments (Thank you TheRibbonRed for pointing that out). Considering that the Lobotomy Corporation is made up of multiple facilities (and has probably been in existence for a while), it's likely that Nothing There is made up of not even one or two Corporation employees. In fact, Nothing There could also even be made up of employees from other Corporations, or maybe even civilians. For other Corporations, those parts of Nothing There could have resulted from some other equally-dreadful experiment(s) (I say that because of the fact that Nothing There has immunity to Red damage in its final form, could have been some kind of Immunization project). It's very hard to say how many, or even who or what Nothing There is made of. There are several eyes, mouths, and other body parts of varying sizes, so it's hard to say for certain what exactly makes up Nothing There. But either way, Nothing There is definitely not just a single entity, as the wiki even states that "Nothing There, along with 1.76 MHz, are the only abnormalities in the Abstraction/*Amalgamation* Abnormality group." One of the voices in Nothing There's final form even goes "Together, we are one." If that isn't evidence enough, I don't know what is. Finally, before I wrap up the theory, I better just reiterate some of the points of my previous theory, as well as some others. First off, Nothing There's best work is Attachment. Attachment is described as "A work to satiate social needs. All Abnormalities carry desires and a will, and as such social needs are included. As this work involves acting as a playmate or companion, great care is required as only limited interaction is allowed..." Considering Nothing There's possible origins, it's possible that a part of Nothing There still wants to be appreciated or loved again. After all, when Nothing There takes the form of an employee, Nothing There says "I love you", in both a woman's voice and a child's voice. The individuals who make up Nothing There don't want to be seen as a monster, but as their previous human selves. That could be a reason that Nothing There is trying to evolve to be a human (as stated in the Abnormality story), but I would imagine that the subjects may also want revenge on the Corporations/groups that made them this way. Next, I want to discuss the importance of some of Nothing There's lines. I already talked about "I love you", so I will skip that one. I also briefly mentioned the line of "Together, we are one", of course being related to how Nothing There is an amalgam of different individuals. But that line could also relate to whoever authorized the experiments, such as how another line says "Well hello there, dear. I've been expecting you." Such lines could have been to assure subjects that what they were doing was safe, or even to psychologically manipulate the subjects into the experiment, as I find lines like "So I reach to you with the best part of me" and "Together, we are singing the song of creation" are said rather...ominously. One last thing on the voicelines: it's possible that some of the lines are simply Nothing There imitating other people, like how one of the lines is "Hey Man!" and "How may I help you?" After all, one would expect that when their E.G.O. is literally called Mimicry. There is probably something I missed and things I forgot to mention from my previous theories, and there might not be enough space to discuss the theory to its entirety. I may post a pastebin or something in the future if this theory gets too big. So then, this is my most current, complete theory: Nothing There is the amalgamation of several people, at least one having been an employee of Lobotomy Corporation, with the addition of other individuals, maybe others associated with other Corporations or even normal civilians. Nothing There resulted from the experimentation of Cogito, as well as maybe other projects from other Corporations or unknown groups. These experiments, either accidentally or purposefully, led all of the subjects to become Nothing There. Over time, Nothing There is evolving. Acting more humanoid, mimicking human voices, standing on two feet, it's plain to see. All because it wants to be loved again, it wants to be human again. But the anger and pain from these dreadful experiments have clouded their minds. So when Nothing There fully regains its human body, the Corporations will have hell to pay for what they did to them.

Actually, his defences are unspecified because he uses the stats of the employee that he killed in the containement chamber.

To all those saying its resistances vary depending on the employee it disguises as. That is false. its resistances are "Unspecified" because they change depending on its form. Its resistances are as follow. First form: Red 0.3, White 0.8, Black 0.8, Pale 1.2 Second form (egg): Red 0.0, White 0.6, Black 0.6, Pale 1.0 Third form: Red 0.0, White 0.4, Black 0.4, Pale 0.8

Are you sure there's nothing there? There's something there. ...And it's certainly a something.

It's saying "I love you" over and over with my best employee's smug looking face.

This feels like a shout out to The Thing (1982). An entity that kills and imitates other organisms by assimilating them(read: wearing their skin). Nothing There is the monster of said film is all but name.

Awwww yes my favorite aleph *INPUT THE ANNOYING NOTHING THERE BREATHING HERE*

How to have eternal nightmares:Let this thing escape

The most terrifying Shape-shifter ever. If you doubt me about that, just try to supress If when he escapes :^P

10:12 I think that this "F" is for female and "M" is for male and the numbers are the especific code of the employee. Why is this important? It's actually not, i just realized that and decided to comment here :^V

i got this bad boy and the silent orchestra on day 23! :) *please end my suffering*

"Which body parts are damaged" "all of them"

I was looking for a channel that played lobotomy and found this one. Im only on like episode 5 but i had no idea that this series was still going. All i can say is keep up the great work :D

My weapon of Mass Destruction. I've weaponized him so many times I call him the employee of the months

FLESH PUPPY

I once was changeling in a space game and then I like just mimiced everyones manerisms. Was really funny how the doctor said to me "I dont care if you are human or not but as long as you are a good coworker im fine with you being here" after I went around creeping out the crew

Probably the easiest aleph to keep contained. When he escapes, however..

To get the Wall Gazer, Nothing There, and Forsaken Murderer in the same facility. Would be an unlucky tragedy for whomever takes that route. Talk about some Lobotomy Corporation ASMR...wait, actually no, oh no.

So, “nothing there” is basically the big brother of “don’t touch me” or “The Plague Doctor” What I mean by this is “just don’t interact with it, you are screwed the moment you clicked on the cell”

rabbit protocol, by what ive seen just destroys this thing

ive been thinking about buying this game and i want to thank you for giving a, what i think to be, a very in depth review of the game's monsters and stuff. thank you for being straight forward with your explanations and calm tone.

so, no wonder i couldn't find "The Red Mist" cuz this is the one that gives mimicry i learned about this game from item asylum and i'm getting more and more interested

really loved these informational videos with your voice

trumpet 2 or 1 : Theres nothing there to worry about This mf : Theres *Nothing There* to worry about

Someone out there has to be someone who feeds nothing there an employee just to hear "I love you"

ive housed this thing for a while now, and its honestly not as bad as people make it out to be! (when its in containment of course. please dont ever let it breach) here is what i have learned: •DO NOT GET FOOLED BY THE COLORS, it doesnt like instinct as much as you think it does. do attachment instead, dont be scared by the all-high its not a trap! •dont send anybody with HE or lower armor inside the containment oh my fucking god WAW ARMOR BARELY HOLDS!!!! you'll be fine with practically any aleph armor (ive seen that sound of a star works well when you dont have mimicry) but if nt is your first aleph and you have a waw armor then pray that it has red resistance higher than 0.8. 0.8 isnt a guaranteed death per se, but youre going to need to pray that your nugget makes it out alive. 0.7 and lower will (mostly) be fine but they are going to need a bit of healing. •malkuth suppression sucks when you have NT because its a bitch when you do insight. unless you have this absolute temperance monster i suggest you avoid doing insight work. •what else..... oh yeah uh if you play by its rules, getting its ego and gift will be a breeze! ive never had it breach (only had it kill nuggets two times and im excluding the button) and to be honest its just like blue star- max level employee, good red resistance, never let it escape and you're all set. im pretty sure i got both the weapon and the armor during the same day. so yeah thats all i can think of about housing this cute skin dog amalgamation, maybe ill add more if i can think of it. in the meantime, i would be overjoyed if people made additions to this, suppression or just containment would work!! thank you!

nothing there hes one of my favorites easy do deal with as long as he does not get out

Female voice utters a pained expression/confused "Hello...? Someone there?!"

"DO NOT OPEN THIS [REDACTED]" CAN WE GET A COPYRIGHT S T R I K E?

Good luck to those who’s getting these ALEPH abnormalities.

Expectation: I gonna destroy nothing there Reality: WHY THIS BICH IS VERY FAST AND WHY IS ONE HIT KILL

R.I.P Angela

In first form its weak to pale, so if you have lost paradise you can be fast enough to kill it in first form

ArcAngela: dafuq why do i keep getting *_super hard air_*

i love your voice its so cool

Nothing there is just forsaken murderer, but aleph

Ah yes. My :fear: because when he escapes make me have :fear:

Best dog.

I got this on purpose on day ~41 to see how hard it was to defeat on its final form. First try, no deaths, it did use multiple shields though

''Man get a load of this [REDACTED]''

"Instinct is good as long as you're high."

Got this guy on day 18? Didn't know you can get alephs that early. Anyways he instantly escaped and killed everyone.

another abnormality reference in item asylum (the weapon)

*meet the spy*

Oddly enough I killed it without bullets but it was kinda just a really lucky cheese. I just brought iny guy with nothing there's armor and had everyone swarm him from the side he wasn't attacking on.

im really new to this game and i got this abnormalty on my second playthrough try (aka i just restarted for missions.) he's def one of my favorites, its so adorable to me. however I'm really confused on how to handle it, can you only get boxes/info when it breaches and you defeat it?? are you able to hire a new employee as a sacrifice? whats the best way to handle it?

This seems like SCP-096 to me... But somehow worse.

Some people say that he doesnt have a death animation because you are not supposed to kill it no matter how hard you try (there are some tricks with the slime heart and stuff that i dont remember)

what happens if you do find it and shoot it? is it instantly suppressed? Cuz on a gigantic facility its hard too find nothing there so at least it would do 50%in damage to help suppress right?...no?..

the THING from a another world

This is the first Aleph I got, how do I do work on it without my employees dieing :(

If it reaches its second form, you can call the rabbit team. It can take care of nothing there with no problem.

If only the abnormalities where friendly ._. Lobotomy corp would be a much better place...

“bro theres nothing ther- oh my god”

why sometimes nothing there just kills my employe from nowere? the employe still have HP, the work haven't finished yet and still nothing there kills the employe and take his skin

Soo i have never worked on nothing there.. and i am a lvl 5 agent.. my co-workers also say i may never work with or even get into its chamber.. i genually wonder why

Top 555555 moments before you will have heart assault: 1st place:goodbye

I would say i fear this *thing* the most

So Nothing There is basically a more broken version of John Carpenter's The Thing.

oh my god i renember having to deal with this on my like, first or second playthru and i was like "OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT FLESH MAN WHY IS BULLET WELL THATS GONE NOW ITS OUT WHERE IS IT I DONT KNW OH GOD HELP" and immediatly restarted and never played again

Oh hey a pitbull

With pause and good coordination of your employees, you can actually cheese NT fairly easily (a skilled manager can probably also do it without pause). 1. Get NT in a fairly small room, but not as small as an elevator (department main rooms aside from centcomm and the extra rooms in control, intel, welfare, and discipline) 2. Place someone who tank red well with a melee to attack NT in about the middle of the room 3. On the same side of NT as the tank, bring in ranged users who can reach NT from a door of the room (QoH ego weapon is especially useful for this since it will also heal the tank) 4. Slowly whittle him down while avoiding attack When he uses the blade, set the tank to walk to another room away from NT then send them back once it slashes When it does the ranged attack, move all the ranged users in to the adjacent room which they are stood in the doorway to, then move them back once it is done 5. Profit (This doesn't work so well if you have other abnos that you need strong employees to deal with, but tbh in that case you're probably completely fucked anyways)

Man what is this abnormality about, I don’t see anything there

Hello? Hello? _Hello?_ *_Hello?!_* Goodbye.

Gebura mission be like:

Meet the spy!

So basically a really scary SCP 682

These videos are cool, but I wish you'd speak louder and write a script before-hand. There's a lot of awkward pauses between, and during, sentences, and I have to remember to turn my volume down after these videos so I don't hurt my ears later. Just some constructive criticism.

genuinely the easiest aleph in the game, got the hang of him in 5 retries and got his armor and weapon after 5 (ingame) days

That's a weird looking [REDACTED]

Why does every employee look like a deviant art OC?

ever thought of joining amino of lobotomy corporation

What Abnormality? There *Nothing There...* So that's what you meant

It stole her notepad, thats funny to me

el… llo… Hello? ello… Hello?

682 lookalike

Why does this one have more comments and views than the rest?

This is with the kawaii filter

I love you

Find waldo

Is the the hardest of all types?

HELLO???

I ain’t seeing nothing there

And its name is JOHN CENA!!!

Asmr

literally the easiest aleph dont @me

...I fucking got this this as my 6th abnormality when I began playing

You need to work on your delivery pal

SCP-682 2.0

That's korean nickname is 없뭉이.

So, can i make a joke about women looking like nothing there without make-up? Cuz bby i'm gonna do it. I'm seriously gonna do it. If you don't hurry up, I'm seriously really gonna doooo it.

Nothing there and 682: Break contaiment every single time
