The act of rapidly and quietly removing oneself from a situation that is expected to turn bad imminently, and often, remaining out of sight whilst the worst of the situation unfolds.
A well crafted 'scomo' may be achieved by returning to the situation as others are executing remediation works and declaring the successes of recovery as one's own.
A masterful 'scomo' is achieved by exhibiting the features above, whilst also being the catalyst of the situation in the first place. Upon one's return, a successful disinformation campaign is waged that either blames others for the initiation of events preceding, or otherwise absolves one from any form of responsibility.

Well, Gladys, I used accelerant on the BBQ again and set the garden waste you'd left by fence on fire. The fire got out of hand rather quickly, but I pulled a masterful scomo: I disappeared from the scene, pretending I was out for a run to the shop. I came back when the fire crew arrived, and once they’d extinguished the fire I ran in to congratulate them heartily. They didn’t seem best pleased, but I told them I don’t hold a hose and that it was the wife that left the BBQ idle from the previous night. Of course, I told Jenny, the neighbour, and the entire street of how my meticulous maintenance of our yard slowed the fire and saved both mine and the neighbour’s house from certain destruction. When the inspector turned up, I convinced him the child next door regularly plays with matches, and the authorities were most helpful in providing a report indicating the fire likely started due to lack of diligence from the neighbour!
