Subject D-9341: found dead in [DATA REDACTED]. Cause of death: suffocation due to decontamination gas.
— SCP – Containment Breach, if the player refuses to leave their cell when instructed to
"Yes, we were just about to start the tests when it started. The Class Ds and the guard died as soon as the lights started flickering, but I managed to get out of the surveillance room before it got me."
— SCP – Containment Breach, if the player breaks eye contact with SCP-173 inside the test chamber
Subject D-9341: killed by the Tesla gate at [REDACTED].
— SCP – Containment Breach, if the player gets zapped by a Tesla gate
Subject D-9341 found in a pool of blood next to SCP-012. Subject seems to have ripped open his wrists and written three extra lines to the composition before dying of blood loss.
— SCP – Containment Breach, if the player falls under SCP-012's thrall
All four escaped SCP-939 specimens have been captured and recontained successfully. Two of them made quite a mess at Storage Area 6. A cleaning team has been dispatched.
— SCP – Containment Breach, if the player is killed by SCP-939
Subject D-9341. Cause of death: Fatal cervical fracture. Assumed to be attacked by SCP-173.
— SCP – Containment Breach, if the player is killed by SCP-173
Subject D-9341 found ingesting Dr. [REDACTED] at Sector [REDACTED]. Subject immediately terminated by Nine Tailed Fox and sent for autopsy. SCP-008 infection was confirmed, after which the body was incinerated.
— SCP – Containment Breach, if the player contracts SCP-008
A heavily mutilated corpse found inside the output booth of SCP-914. DNA testing identified the corpse as Class D Subject D-9341. The subject has obviously been "refined" by SCP-914 on the "Rough" setting, but we're still confused on how he ended up inside the intake booth and who or what wound the key.
— SCP – Containment Breach, if the player gets "refined" by SCP-914 on the "Rough" setting
A Class D jumpsuit found in [DATA REDACTED]. Upon further examination, the jumpsuit was found to be filled with 12.5 kilograms of blue ash-like substance. Chemical analysis of the substance remains non-conclusive. Most likely related to SCP-914.
— SCP – Containment Breach, if the player gets "refined" by SCP-914 on the "Very Fine" setting
"We'll need more than the regular cleaning team to take care of this. Two large and highly active tentacle-like appendages seem to have formed inside the chamber. Their level of aggression is unlike anything we've seen before - it looks like they've beaten some unfortunate Class D to death at some point during the breach."
— SCP – Containment Breach, if the player is killed by SCP-035
A large amount of blood found in [DATA REDACTED]. DNA identified as Subject D-9341. Most likely [DATA REDACTED] by SCP-096.
— SCP – Containment Breach, if the player is killed by SCP-096
"What we know is that he died of cardiac arrest. My guess is it was caused by SCP-895, although it hasn't been observed affecting video equipment from this far before. Further testing is need to determine if SCP-895's effect is spreading."
— SCP – Containment Breach, if the player sees footage of SCP-895
In addition to the decomposed appearance typical of victims of SCP-106, the body exhibits injuries that may not have been observed before: massive skull fracture, three broken ribs, fractured shoulder, and multiple heavy lacerations.
— SCP – Containment Breach, if the player is killed by SCP-106
A Class D subject wearing SCP-178 was found dead in [REDACTED]. Presumed to be killed by the effects of SCP-178.

If the point of playing The Sims 2 was to kill off all of your Sims, then you would be the world champion! But, unfortunately, the way things stand now, The Sims 2 is still a LIFE simulator. You could actually exit the lot without saving and maybe try this household again. Or, if you were trying to kill your Sims, and we aren't saying that you were, then feel free to move another family into this lot.

You feel the fatal blow, and even as you die you try to impale your enemy on your sword. But it is the end. Though a man has but one life, his name lives on forever!
— Sword of the Samurai, if you die in battle
You have violated the sacred duty of a retainer to his lord. As an example to others who might contemplate disloyalty, your lord orders your entire family exterminated.
— Sword of the Samurai, if you either refuse to commit seppuku when ordered, or try to rebel against your master and fail
Your troops are routed, your power is broken. Lord (name), your conqueror, insists that you swear fealty to him. There is only one possible answer you can give.
— Sword of the Samurai, if a rival daimyo invades and conquers you
You retire your position in favor of your heir. Gratefully giving up your former life of unrest and strife, you become a monk, devoting the rest of your days to the study of Zen.
— Sword of the Samurai, if you retire
You have been captured in (rival's name)'s house while obviously engaged on a mission of treachery. The daimyo has no choice but to order you to commit seppuku. You have until sunset to prepare yourself for death.
— Sword of the Samurai, if you attempt to commit some kind of treachery against a rival and get captured
The only honorable action left to you is to commit seppuku. Knowing your family will honor you for your act, you do the deed quickly and unflinchingly.
— Sword of the Samurai, if you commit seppuku
Your banners have fallen, and your armies are fleeing. All of your efforts have been in vain. There is only one course a true samurai can take. You unsheathe your knife and prepare to commit seppuku.
— Sword of the Samurai, if you declare yourself shogun and fail in the final battle

"Stasis Lock"
"Operation failed. The medical board will be notified."
A few days later, Derek Stiles mysteriously disappeared without saying a word to anyone. The burden of the patients' lives turned out to be more than he could bear...after his final operation, most people would agree Dr. Stiles had no business treating patients in the first place.
— Trauma Center: Second Opinion (playing as Derek)
Even though she had been stripped of her medical license in Japan, Dr. Weaver could always depend on her ability to save lives. However, when she failed to save a patient, she lost faith in herself and everything she had believed in...and never performed surgery again.
— Trauma Center: Second Opinion (playing as Naomi)
Despair over the accident took root in the young doctor's heart, where it continued to fester for years to come...eventually growing so large that it overshadowed everything else. The hopes that once drove the doctor to greatness were swallowed by emptiness and regret.

Nonetheless, I have taken the precaution of packing Tropico's gold bullion into the sandbags of the Palace hot air balloon. Shall I fire up the burner?

You have not succeeded in dealing with the alien invasion and the council of funding nations has regrettably decided to terminate the project. Each nation shall deal with the problem as they see fit. We can only hope to come to some accommodation with these apparently hostile forces, and that the general population will come to terms with the alien visitors.
You have failed to stop the alien onslaught. One by one the funding nations sign pacts with the aliens promising technology, prosperity and peace. However, it soon becomes clear that the aliens have other plans... The aliens attempt to exterminate all humanity, destroying cities and poisoning the air and sea. The resistance of earth armies is futile in the face of vastly superior technology. Surviving generations suffer terrible mutations as they flee alien destruction. They are rounded up into slave camps to help transform earth into an alien colony which is part of some unknown empire. The knowledge gained from the XCom project is lost forever. You have failed to save the earth.

) All X-COM bases have been destroyed. All research data is lost and personnel have left. With no other hope for humanity the Aliens will inevitably conquer earth.
"The inability of this project to maintain the support of several crucial council members has greatly reduced the effectiveness of both entities. This entire undertaking was the product of an ill-conceived plan...a series of simple...misunderstandings, met with an overzealous response. We believe the best course of action now is to cooperate with the aliens, for the... betterment... of all mankind. We are of one mind about this. The path ahead... is clear."
The enemy has overrun XCOM's headquarters. We are no longer capable of fighting the alien invasion.
"Loyal citizens...I stand before you truly humbled. So many lives lost, so many needless sacrifices endured, as we have struggled to cope with those who would see our great coalition fall. Today, our struggle ends. XCOM is no more. ADVENT peacekeepers have reduced the last of their strongholds to ashes. And with it, the fragmented remains of the old world are finally washed away. Thank you for your continued support. And thank you to the Elders for their guidance through this crisis. Long live Advent. Long live the Elders."

Your ship is destroyed. All that remains is a twisted wreck of molten metal floating deep in space. The alien force, now unopposed, begins to wreak havoc upon the earth, killing all life upon the planet, before using it for horrifying purposes. And as the crumbling skyscrapers of the empty cities of the world burn long into the nights, the silence of the earth is more terrible than death itself. You were the earth's only hope. Your failure was the beginning of the end of the world. If only you could have another chance...
