0:00.0	SCP 9998, a prince among men.
0:08.4	The situational comedy, or sitcom, is a classic hallmark of television that has been going strong
0:14.9	for decades. From I Love Lucy to Seinfeld to the office, or God Help You, friends, sitcoms have been a
0:24.1	multi-generational staple of entertainment in the U.S. and elsewhere.
0:28.9	For me, 90s sitcoms were a core part of my youth, and although they've never really gotten

1:43.7	In producing this report, she has set out the events
1:46.5	proceeding, during, and subsequent to what is widely considered to be one of the most
1:51.5	significant containment breaches within the history of the foundation. With that, we're given the
