Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Per the agreement between SCP-XXXX and the Foundation, no Special Containment Procedures are necessary. SCP-XXXX will not allow SCP-XXXX-A, SCP-XXXX-B, and SCP-XXXX-C to function outside of D-class residential areas or cafeterias. The Foundation will continue to issue SCP-XXXX-1 as a lunchtime snack with no variations. D-class with dietary restrictions may request SCP-XXXX-1 instead of a standard snack substitute.
Residential Guards will not interfere with SCP-XXXX-A, SCP-XXXX-B, or SCP-XXXX-C when used in residential areas to trade for approved goods. Guards will continue to confiscate unapproved goods, despite SCP-XXXX's use.
Should SCP-XXXX-A, SCP-XXXX-B, or SCP-XXXX-C be used outside of D-class residential areas or cafeterias, consult Dr. Sen or an authorized deputy immediately. Current reasoning is that allowing limited freedom to SCP-XXXX is preferred to a lengthy, disruptive neutralization.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous bank that exists among D-class personnel. SCP-XXXX is capable of placing information about itself directly into the minds of D-class personnel and storing candy bars, including mostly SCP-XXXX-1, in an extradimensional space. It is unknown if SCP-XXXX possesses an anomalous intelligence of its own or is an anomalous effect guided by competitive efforts of individual D-class personnel. The Foundation can influence SCP-XXXX via control of its currency, SCP-XXXX-1.
SCP-XXXX-1 is a small (7cm x 2cm) chocolate candy bar. The Foundation has served SCP-XXXX-1 since 1976 as part of the standard D-class lunch. The anomalous use of SCP-XXXX-1 was not discovered until 2004. SCP-XXXX-1 is used as a currency among D-class personnel. Notably, SCP-XXXX does not manufacture SCP-XXXX-1. Manufacture of SCP-XXXX-1 is done exclusively by the foundation. D-class personnel collect, trade, and store SCP-XXXX-1 in the "bank" aspect of SCP-XXXX using the rituals of SCP-XXXX-A, SCP-XXXX-B, and SCP-XXXX-C.
SCP-XXXX-A is a series of kinetoglyphs that "deposit" or "withdraw" SCP-XXXX-1 from SCP-XXXX's extradimensional space. If a subject is holding any number of SCP-XXXX-1 in their hands while performing SCP-XXXX-A, it will be moved to the extradimensional space. If the subject is empty handed and currently has a positive "balance" with SCP-XXXX, performing SCP-XXXX-A will produce one to five SCP-XXXX-1 in the subject's hand.
SCP-XXXX-B is a series of kinetoglyphs requiring two people, that "transfer" any number of SCP-XXXX-1 instances stored extradimensionally. D-class personnel use SCP-XXXX-B to trade SCP-XXXX-1 for goods and services. SCP-XXXX-B makes these trades much easier, as some goods and services are worth hundreds of SCP-XXXX-1. Through unknown means the subject paying is able to choose how many instances are transferred. The subject receiving SCP-XXXX-1 instances instantly knows how many are received. Notably, SCP-XXXX-B imposes no compulsion to provide the good or service. Researchers have observed the receiving subject cheating the paying subject to no anomalous harm.
SCP-XXXX-C is a series of kinetoglyphs that creates an image on the right palm of the performer. The image appears as a tattoo of the number of SCP-XXXX-1 instances the subject currently has stored in SCP-XXXX's extradimensional space. It lasts for about a minute, before fading. Performances of SCP-XXXX-C is usually accompanied by the phrase "You know I'm good for it, bro." but the phrase is not necessary to create the effect.
Amnestized D-class recall the existence of SCP-XXXX, and the purpose and how to perform SCP-XXXX-A, SCP-XXXX-B, and SCP-XXXX-C within 24 hours of being dosed, provided they are still considered D-class personnel. Subjects who are no longer D-class can forget SCP-XXXX normally. Prior to SCP-XXXX's containment, Former D-class subjects could still perform SCP-XXXX-A to "withdraw" SCP-XXXX-1, but could not "deposit" or use other functions of SCP-XXXX. Should a D-class die while having a positive "balance" with SCP-XXXX, the stored SCP-XXXX-1 will be unretrievable.
SCP-XXXX most likely manifested at sometime between 1976 and 2002. Interviewed D-class personnel confirm that it functioned as early as 2003, but rapid turnover and amnestization means it could have been active much earlier. Prior to 1976, Foundation lunches lacked a standard bar to serve as currency, but it is possible that an earlier version of SCP-XXXX dealt in cigarettes as early as 1928. SCP-XXXX might have switched over to SCP-XXXX-1 following the "End D-class Smoking" initiative of 1998.
Scp-XXXX was discovered during February 2004. Undercover agents posing as D-class were investigating cocaine being traded within a D-class residential area. D-25643 attempting to sell an agent one "shot" of cocaine for 125 "bars." Interrogation of D-25643 revealed a possible anomaly.
Test one - 1/4/2004
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Procedure: SCP-XXXX-1 replaced with Hershey brand chocolate bar in daily meals.
Results: D-class population quickly establishes a general opinion that the Hershey bar is superior. Exchange rate of 1.2 SCP-XXXX-1 for Hershey bar quickly established. After one week, Hershey bars can be stored and traded with SCP-XXXX.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX's effect are not limited to Foundation bars.
Test two - 9/4/2004
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Procedure: SCP-XXXX-1 removed entirely from lunches. No replacement.
Results: Trading appears to stop for 5 weeks. D-class morale is noted to be much lower. Trading slowly resumes, but with a much higher value of SCP-XXXX-1.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX responds like a typical market to stresses.
Test three - 5/6/2004
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Procedure: Temporarily amnestized agents placed undercover as D-class. SCP-XXXX-1 replaced with small bag of M&M's.
Results: Exchange rates set as expected. Recovered agents report full details of SCP-XXXX as shown above.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX is guided by the invisible hand of the market. We control the money supply. The only anomaly is the bank. It's more of a wallet, really. It just saves D-class from carrying hundreds of candy bars.
Test four - 3/7/2004
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Procedure: Paper currency introduced to D-class. Available in 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 1000 denominations. Can be redeemed for a variety of candies at cafeteria.
Results: D-class are initially somewhat receptive. Rampart thievery ruins market confidence. D-class return to using SCP-XXXX after one week.
Analysis: This might work in an ordinary prison, but frequent use of amnestics and uncertain futures ruins the little trust D-class have for each other. We'd need a stronger deterrent for thievery to make paper currency work. Given how quickly D-class die on good days, I choose not to imagine a stronger deterrent.
Dear O5 Council,
The anomalous forced recollection is similar to previous Society for Alternative Social Analysis projects. We've previously seen them study human responses to anomalous economic situations and solutions. At the time we discovered SCP-XXXX, non-anomalous economic research was being dedicated to the prevention and eradication of prison economies. I believe that the SASA engineered this anomaly as an experiment.
The concern of an outside group performing an experiment on the D-class population, not to mention an experiment involving our own responses, should be obvious. I have on my desk a dozen proposals for traditional means of containing SCP-XXXX, most of them unlikely to work and expensive to implement. We are, effectively, doing Society for Alternative Social Analysis's experiments for them by trying to contain SCP-XXXX.
I propose an offensive response instead. I am requesting formation of a MTF dedicated to eliminating the Society for Alternative Social Analysis before they can use the Foundation as an experiment again. The first task of said MTF would be to investigate the extradimensional space used by SCP-XXXX. After that, the new MTF would capture SASA personnel and infiltrate any SASA locations, with the goal of extracting information on how SASA created SCP-XXXX. Acquiring that information is the most reasonable way to contain and understand SCP-XXXX.
Sincerely,
Dr. Sen
Item #: SCP-####
Object Class: Safe KETER
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-#### is to remain shut. Access to the cave system containing it is to be restricted. Should SCP-#### be opened, MTF Nu-9 ("dactylion") is to be the initial exploratory team.
MTF Nu-9 is to remain within 100 kilometers of SCP-####. Members of MTF Nu-9 are to be exempted from amnestics whenever possible.
Distress signals from SCP-#### are to be ignored.
Description: SCP-#### is a door, foundation-standard for hazardous exteriors. Its outside appearance indicates it was build about fifteen years prior to discovery, but no record of its creation exists.
SCP-####-1 is a note found outside SCP-####. The note is of extra-temporal origin. It was written by a previous 'future' version of researcher Claremont. This note is the source of most information regarding the interior of SCP-####.
Addendum:
To: Site Director of Site-@@
From: Commander Bryne
Regarding: SCP-####
Please find attached MTF Nu-9's exploration log, my conference with the Department of Temporal Anomalies, and my conference with SCP Intelligence. I'm aware that these documents would normally be edited to just the most perinant parts, but given our lack of knowledge on SCP-#### and the fact that I was supposed to retire yesterday, I've left in all information.
I hope that, reading this, you will understand that SCP-#### ruined my life. I've worked for the Foundation fifty years. I had the perfect retirement set up for decades. Full amnestic treatment and a retirement of farming in East California. Instead, you have stuck me behind a desk until I die, unable to finally forget what I saw. I wish I had died instead of Gnostkey on that first mission. As painful as that was, I would prefer it. Doing paperwork for the rest of my life is worse. Strange as it may seem, I was looking forward to the full amnestic treatment. I remember Cherenenoble because it helps me do my job, not because it helps me sleep at night.
Instead, I'm stuck running an immobile MTF, meeting with the department of temporal anomalies (useless non-scientific talkers), and Foundation Intelligence (useless black-boxers).
PS. These replacements for our birth names are terrible. I think the department of Temporal Anomalies came up with them just to annoy me.
Following [REDACTED], all available MTF teams at Site-81 and Site-28 were called in for the full anmestication of Manhattan. When SCP-####'s temporal anomaly was detected, a team was hastily constructed of qualified personnel. Per advisement by the Department of Temporal Anomalies, all names have been changed to protect MTF Nu-9 from extra-temporal attack.
Commander John Bryne has served the Foundation for fifty years as a member of frontline MTF units. He was unassigned from [REDACTED] to prepare for his retirement,

SCP-3XXX in its initial containment refrigerator box
Item #: SCP-3XXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3XXX is currently contained by its own desire to be contained. Towards that end, a standard windowless cell has been provided. No procedurences for feeding SCP-3XXX are needed. SCP-3XXX's cell is only to be opened with the approval of a level 4 researcher.
In case SCP-3XXX's cell is breached, SCP-3XXX can be temporarily contained in a box or locked room. An appropriate box is kept in the Site-██ bunker. Personnel may direct SCP-3XXX to take shelter there.
Description: SCP-3XXX is a 1.45 meter tall humanoid of indeterminate gender. It possesses extensive knowledge of Foundation personnel and containment procedures. SCP-3XXX requires no food or drink, and produces no waste.
While SCP-3XXX's anomalous propities and knowledge would represent a threat to the Foundation, it is countered by SCP-3XXX's strong desire to be contained by the Foundation. Most conversations with SCP-3XXX revolve around its desire to be contained by "The SCP Foundation," and then left alone.
Interviewed: [SCP-3XXX]
Interviewer: [Dr. Aimes]
Foreword: [Initial containment interview, SCP is in the box it arrived at Site-██ in]
<Begin Log>
Dr. Aimes: SCP-3XXX, can you hear me?
SCP-3XXX: Hooray! You gave me a name. You'll find me rather tame.
Dr. Aimes: Are you happy with your current accommodations?
SCP-3XXX: It's swell, but I know where I'd rather dwell; in my own, private cell.
Dr. Aimes: We can probably arrange that, Why do you want to be locked up, SCP-3XXX?
SCP-3XXX: It gives me a sexual thrill. It's like my own private Bastille.
Dr. Aimes: Were you always like this?
SCP-3XXX: I've always liked being in a box, especially if it's got locks. Once, I had to come out for food, but Dr. Wondertainment offered me perfect solitude.
Dr. Aimes: Did Dr. Wondertainment say why he did this?
SCP-3XXX: They said I was some sort of prize; I didn't get to ask all the whys.
Dr. Aimes: Thank you for your time, SCP-3XXX. We'll set up your cell now, and I'll escort you there shortly.
<End Log>
Addendum: Initial discovery
SCP-3XXX was found during a delivery of a replacement refrigerator for the third floor break room at Site-██. Instead of a refrigerator, the box contained SCP-3XXX and a note.
