Light Containment Zone

26

Subsection-03 of Site-02, also known as the Light Containment and Testing Zone, or simply Light Containment Zone, is one of four zones found in SCP: Secret Laboratory. The zone is also called Grayhall by the staff of Site-02.

Operational Guide Overview

The Light Containment and Testing Zone, colloquially known by Site Staff as the ‘Grayhall’, houses multiple testing facilities and containment cells for a number of Euclid and Safe-Anomalous objects. 

The Zone houses the majority of the D-Class stocks contained within numerous individual confinement cells and personnel offices. 
Medical testing, screening, and Site operations are also conducted here on both staff and D-Class Personnel.

“Fifteen, Twenty-two, Forty-five, Six-dash-three…hell, even Area Fourteen. More and more hits are happening and we sit here doing nothing. For what, exactly? So we know why 096 screams the way it does? So we understand why 173 shits? Shouldn't we be using what we know to fight back? To develop some kind of weapon that works?
...
I wonder what the O5 think.”

-Charles H. Goodwin, Analyst, Site-02 

Description

Light Containment Zone (LCZ) is one of the four zones in Site-02.
It is the spawn location of Class-Ds and Scientists, as well as being the location of SCP-914 and SCP-330.

Light Containment Zone is also the only zone that is affected by the Decontamination Process, a process which kills anything within the zone 11 minutes and 45 seconds after the round has started. This forces players to move down to Heavy Containment Zone, and prevents players from camping and stalling a round.

There are a few important rooms that contain supplies for players to aid their journey through the Heavy Containment Zone. A helpful navigation aid is the signs above doors, which primarily informs players of the type of room that lies beyond. Certain rooms will have fixed designations (see next section), whilst others will be pseudo-random.

Despite popular belief, Light Containment Zone is above Heavy Containment Zone and not below it.

Legacy Room ID Codes

Icon	Description

	Giant Ventilation Room (Hallway); replaced with VT00 when the Greenhouse replaced the room in v7.0.0. The Giant Ventilation room was removed due to being a CB Asset.
	Placeholder symbol; added in v4.0.0 and removed in v6.0.0. The Room ID was always LC2 and had no meaning.

Unique Rooms

Unique rooms are rooms that spawn only once (with the exception of airlocks and the checkpoints), and can contain valuable items, or can be used as hiding spots. These rooms have fixed designations:

Class-D Cells - CD01

Overview of the room

Inside a cell

The back of the cells

The SCP-049 Contest Art made by Moranatol

The SCP-106 Contest Art made by Purplegoop

The Class-D Cells are the spawn location of all Class-Ds. The room is a long hallway with multiple cell doors that run along the central walls of the room.
Behind each cell door is a small room containing a small single bed and a table. 1-3 Class-Ds will randomly spawn among these small cells.
No items will spawn here, and the room has no importance besides being the spawn location of Class-Ds.
The back of this room contains two pieces of artwork made by winners of an art contest for SCP:SL. These artworks do not appear when the Halloween and Xmas props are spawned in.

Water Closet - WC00

Overview of the room

Men's side.

Woman's side

The Water Closet is a hallway that contains a male and female bathroom (which can contain loot). This is also a Scientist spawn location.
The Water Closet contains 3 toilets and 2 sinks in both the male and female restrooms.
In the male and female bathrooms, there is the possibility of finding up to two keycards and/or the COM-15.
A First Aid Cabinet will sometimes spawn outside the bathroom door along the wall.
The bathrooms can be used as a hiding place from SCPs, but may not be as effective against humans who may be checking the room for loot.

  • First Aid Cabinet
• Men's Toilets:
  • Janitor Keycard or Scientist Keycard

Garden Chamber - VT00

Overview of the room

The side room with a Standard Locker

The Garden Chamber, also known as the Greenhouse Room, contains a greenhouse area with several plants sectioned off from the playable area with large glass windows. The room acts as a straight hallway variant.

Players can access the plants by smashing the window, although the plants cannot be interacted with. It is possible for a Janitor Keycard or Scientist Keycard to spawn on the ground nearby these plants, or even a Bulletproof Locker №7.

On the wall opposite the plants is a door that leads to a small room which either has a First Aid Cabinet, a Standard Locker, a Bulletproof Locker №7, a Workstation or nothing.

The room acts as one of the possible spawn points as a Scientist.

Interestingly, the room's code, 'VT00', does not match with the room name. Both Greenhouse and Garden Chamber have officially been used when referring to this room.

The right wall of the room has a chance for a First Aid Cabinet, Standard Locker, or Workstation to spawn. Further along this wall is a shelf that may contain a Keycard.

Containment Access 1

to open.

SCP-914 is the most important room in Light Containment Zone, as it is used to upgrade items.
Due to this, it is a popular place for SCPs to target, making it a dangerous place to be in at the start of the round.

Possible Spawns:

• Outside the chamber:
  • First Aid Cabinet
• Inside the chamber on the shelves:
  • Janitor Keycard or Scientist Keycard

Airlock - ALXX

Entrance

Overview of the room

The side area with a Bulletproof Locker №7 present.

Door can be destroyed with explosives, SCP-018 and SCP-096

The Airlock is a small, red-lit room with two doors on each side and a small dark side-room. Multiple airlocks can generate in a given round. They will generate in place of Straight Hallways.

When a player opens one of the inner doors, the door on the opposite side will close. This makes Airlocks a great place to slow people down during a chase.

A Bulletproof Locker №7 can sometimes spawn in the smaller side-room. It can also be used for hiding.

The room acts as one of the possible spawn points as a Scientist.

Possible Spawns:

• In the side-room:
  • Bulletproof Locker №7

Hallways

• 

  Straight Hallway

• 

  Corner Hallway

• 

  T-Intersection

• 

  X-Intersection

Sinkhole

X-Intersection with the Sinkhole present.

In the X-Intersection, A Sinkhole can sometimes spawn in the room. By default this is turned off, however server owners can change the config to allow for a percentage chance of sinkholes spawning.
If a sinkhole is present, players who walk through it (that aren't SCPs) will be slowed down. Unlike in Containment Breach, sinkholes will not teleport the player to the Pocket Dimension; this is intentional.

Sinkhole

Impossible Rooms

Impossible VT00

Impossible Rooms are rooms to do not naturally generate under normal ingame conditions despite existing as apart of the generation code. The Impossible VT00 is that of an older version of the room. In version 8.0.0, the update that re-added SCP-079, VT00 stopped generating for unknown reasons. Despite this, the room was still updated to support SCP-079.

Map Layouts

There are five possible map layouts of Light Containment Zone. Special Rooms are randomized in these layouts.
The Class-D Cells always spawns in the same exact spot for all five layouts, which can allow Class-Ds to figure out the layout early in the game.

Trivia

• Light Containment Zone used to have SCP-012's Containment Chamber. The chamber itself was a SCP: Containment Breach asset, and was replaced with Test Chamber 1 in the 11.1.0 update.
• The announcement in-game says that the LCZ decontamination process occurs in 15 minutes, while the actual time is 11 minutes and 45 seconds. This was intentionally added to apply pressure to the players.
