Item #: SCP-4035

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-4035 are to be stored in an ordinary ammunition canister originating from any currently-active military goods plant or armory, which itself should be kept in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight or dramatic shifts in temperature. Requests for any consumption of SCP-4035 instances by any personnel other than armed Task Force operators or Security staff are under the jurisdiction of the current local Infirmary Head under the condition that the user is placed under confirmed isolation shortly prior to, and during, consumption. Under no circumstances are the sharing of SCP-4035 contents between personnel to be permitted outside of testing.

Description: SCP-4035 is a series of prepackaged military rations from a variety of nations and armed forces around the world, including the United States Army, the British Expeditionary Force, the People's Liberation Army, and the Royal Canadian Air Force (to name a few), with dates of production originating in the early 20th century and stretching until modern day. While date codes are present on the packaging/container of each instance, there is no lot code or place of production listed on the container nor any of the contents within.

Individual instances of SCP-4035 have been reported to manifest within the personal belongings of an on-duty serviceman (Referred to as SCP-4035-0-1 from this point forwards) in the field during an encounter with a non-hostile civilian (SCP-4035-0-2) when SCP-4035-0-1 is checking their pack with the intention of sharing a portion of their field ration with SCP-4035-0-2. No anomalous events other than the sudden manifestation occur before consumption of the actual food inside the container.

Once both SCP-4035-0-1 begins to give parts of their ration to SCP-4035-0-2, both parties have noted being compelled to fully eat their meal with each other, more so than attending to other needs or responsibilities. If both continue, they will prepare and eat their meal while conversing in a genial manner note usually worth noting. After a period of approximately 12 (twelve) hours, SCP-4035-0-2 will develop a strong urge to seek out and establish contact with SCP-4035-0-1. At first, this only takes the form of a mild interest and can be easily ignored, but will steadily progress in intensity over the span of three to four weeks, ultimately resulting in the subject developing a desperate obsession of establishing contact with SCP-4035-0-1 to the point of ignoring all other people and objectives. SCP-4035-0-2 will attend to bodily needs to further their pursuit of SCP-4035-0-1, but will ignore all other aspects of life.
