Special Containment Procedure:
SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a Standard item storage locker within a low to medium security containment wing of Site-64. Staff over the age of 70 are not permitted access to XXXX’s locker.
Description:
SCP-XXXX is a Brown Paper Lunch Bags with a thin plastic window on its side in which to showcase its current contents and a thin aluminum wire at the opening meant for resealing. XXXX has been weathered from years of use and discolored in areas due to poor storage procedures. XXXX has several prerequisites before proper activation of its two anomalous effects. Once introduced to any basic blend bird feed (often varieties of seeds, nuts, or dried fruits) meant for commercial fowl, pet birds, or wild birds, it grants any human above the age of 70 immortality. Whilst feeding any avian species from any feed deposited from the bag, the holder is granted a state of time-based immortality for as long as birds are actively partaking in the provided feed. In that time the holder’s body is not affected by time, though the effect does not affect patterns like the need for sleep, eat, or defecate. The feed also needs to be refilled and after testing any feed put into XXXX becomes non-anomalous and thus doesn’t trigger the effect unless the user has recently thrown it.
Those who are under XXXX effect mention several feelings closely related to those only obtainable from significant others, family members, or other loved ones. Tests have shown the emotional effects are stronger when said loved one is dead or dying.
After XXXX’s initial effect is activated its secondary effect activates. It’s secondary effect heavily depends on the holder of XXXX. If the holder experiences a fond memory of a significant other who’s life was lost anyone within its radius, will, with a variety of factors be dealt onto them the injury and often death of the holder’s significant other in a radius of 3 meters (9 ft 10 in) and up to 155 meters (500 ft) in diameter depending on the number of uses by the single holder. This effect does not apply to any physical trauma such as Blunt force trauma that often ends in concussions, deep cuts, or broken bones nor Penetrating trauma when an object pierces the skin or body, usually creating an open wound.
XXXX does not appear to deceive its holder when recreating a memory. It is rather emulating the feelings through stimulating areas of the holder that most reminds them of said memory; it emitting several stimuli to achieve this. As shown in testing an individual who cannot recall the memory XXXX attempts to create no matter how great or recent will not activate its secondary effect. How it has access to these memories is not yet known, as there is currently no substantial system to test for such a phenomenon.
Discovery:
XXXX was discovered after reports of unnatural peaks in leukemia and cancer patients in several districts in the San Francisco area. Cases were found more densely around The sunset, Central Richmond, and Cole valley districts. XXXX was found after tracing radiation emissions with a recovery team equipped with standard Geiger-Mueller (GM) tubes coming from its location. XXXX’s holder offered no resistance to the recovery team and was found in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. A disinformation campaign attributing the higher cases were made to link them with cell towers and other conspiratorial internet theories where they faded to relative obscurity.
Addendum: On 07/19/2020, Foundation personnel apprehended POI-1838 at a park bench in San Francisco, California. POI-1838 was then escorted to Site-64 for interrogation regarding his creation. Interrogation and Criminal Psychology evaluation regarding SCP-XXXX and it’s creator POI-1838 can be found below. Analysis of interview done by Dr. Fizz Fowler, Forensic Psychologist, and Behavioural Scientist.
Interviewed: POI-1838, Alexander anaglyph, Sr. Subject displays low-level reality-altering capabilities.
Interviewer: Dr. Rachal Moore
<Begin Log>
Dr. Moore: Mr. Anaglyph, I’m going to be asking you some questions about your… creation.
POI-1838: Creation? You mean the fuckin’ bag?
Dr. Moore: Now Mr. Anaglyph, cooperation is key here. I heard from up top that a certain great-grandson of yours who thought you were six feet, works down in site-17 and I’m sure he’d like to keep his seven figures yes?
POI-1838: lady, I’m 113 years old, no- SEVEN?!
Dr. Moore: Yes. Please, continue.
POI-1838: Fuck me, anyway no need to threaten some shit stain kid you’ve got me here what do you want to know.
Dr. Moore: Then please let’s get straight into it. Why did you create XXXX?
POI-1838: Right the bag. I honestly wish I knew. Doesn’t feel like I created anything, it’s just a brown bag I probably got from some kid. I mean C’mon a bag of bird feed that made me live forty years longer than it should’ve? I mean, what is that y’know?
Dr. Moore:… Is that all? You just kept an unimportant paper bag with you for forty years?
POI-1838: What else can I say? That it was my conscious choice to sit on that bench long enough to see my son and his son die? That I pushed my family away so I can fatten up birds to stay alive in some vain want to live forever or some other melodramatic bullshit like that? There’s no grand story here Dr. Moore. I’m just a lonely man trying not to forget.
Dr. Moore: What were you trying to not forget?
POI-1838:… huh.
Dr. Moore: Mr. anaglyph?
POI-1838: It’s been so many years, long enough, even you were probably in diapers, doctor Moore since I lost Jackie that is, but this feeling, this crushing weight feels like it was dropped on me just yesterday. Y’know, Let me tell you a little something for a long time it took me to even admit to myself I was dealing with this. Coming to terms with yourself takes a lot out of someone, but trust me, I had a long time to do just that.
Dr. Moore: If it is at all possible, I’d like to ask you to talk a bit more about your wife, Jackie. She died of pancreatic cancer Correct? how much of that plays into XXXX?
POI-1838: Shit like you care? What’s the point Dr. Moore I know you and your people have combed through her files or whatever hell you probably know more than I ever could.
Dr. Moore: Yes, We’ve looked into the two of you, and everyone you know multiple times even someone you so much as sneezed on doesn’t go unchecked but I want your interpretation of what happened before she died. Why bird feed? Why immortality? Help us make the connection.
POI-1838: Let me tell you a little something, Moore. In the time I spent on those benches, I learned something. There is no cure for solitude. This thing XXXX or whatever is a drug with which has zero regard nor understanding of my feelings. To it, my relationship was purely transactional. It gave me the serotonin, the context of it stopped mattering years ago. I don’t even see my wife anymore. It’s takin almost everything I have to even connect the two. I mean, love is understanding, right? And it’s impossible for me to ever love it or anything it tries so hard to create. In these last 40 years, I’ve never been more alone than ever before, and using this thing was my only escape, or so I had thought. I never had the good sense to reject its offer, and now I’ve trapped myself. The only thing more painful than the loneliness I felt when I was alone is the loneliness I felt when I wasn’t, and when I feel that isolation; when I was with someone I thought I love, someone who seems to understand me and says I love you. How the hell am I supposed to deal with that? Love is supposed to be the solution to loneliness, but there is no escape from it, even in love.
Dr. Moore: You practice that one in the mirror, Mr. anaglyph? very insightful. Incredibly introspective, but it doesn’t tell me anything. I need something more substantial than this self-aggrandizing philosophical waxing.
POI-1838: Yeah, actually Dr. Asshat had that one stewin for thirty years. Listen, I don’t know what exactly it is your people do here whether it’s collecting this shit or destroying it, but I suggest you do the latter. Sorry I ain’t got what you wanted, Doc.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: POI-1838 remained largely unresponsive after the final transcribed remarks. Dr. Moore opted to discontinue the interview shortly thereafter. Moore has requested giving POI-1838 a limited amount of low-level clearance on XXXX’s case file in order to do a psychological evaluation of the subject as well as a motive for XXXX’s creation.
Interviewed: POI-1838, Alexander anaglyph, Sr. Subject displays low-level reality-altering capabilities.
Interviewer: Dr. Rachal Moore
Foreword: an hour prior to the interview, POI-1838 had been issued a copy of SCP-XXXX description as it prior to apprehension does not seem to know of it’s secondary effect. Allowing it this knowledge might make it understand the purpose of its questioning.
