Description:
SCP-4915
Afterword: Following the interview, SCP-4915 filed several requests to be released from containment towards the research curator and the Ethics committee. Due to the subject's anomalous ability still being intact, the request was not granted. Over the course of the next month, SCP-4915's aggression towards personnel and frequency of containment breach attempts increased. A proposal to secretly provide SCP-4915 with sedatives on a daily basis in order to stabilize its mental state was filed and approved by the object curator.
Nothing to see here.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: Following the Incident XXXX-β, SCP-XXXX is considered neutralized and therefore does not require any Containment procedures.
SCP-XXXX-1 instances currently in possession of the Foundation are to be redesignated as anomalous items and stored in the respective containment lockers.
Foundation personnel are to monitor the criminal database of police departments located in the State of Arizona for mentions of any unusual robbery or theft cases in which SCP-XXXX-1 instances may be involved and report them to MTF Omega-18 ("Nagging Flies") for further investigation if deemed necessary.
SCP-XXXX is to be stored in a standard Safe-Class containment locker with 2 microphones located in the close proximity. Upon microphones picking up any kind of sound from within SCP-XXXX, it is to be withdrawn from its casing and opened.
All SCP-XXXX-1 instances and attached notes manifesting within the object are to be immediately recovered and examined for anomalous properties. Experimentation involving SCP-XXXX-1 instance requires written approval from Foundation employee with II-Clearance level assigned to the object.
The assigned employee is to view the attached note, write a suitable response and put it inside SCP-XXXX within the next 24 hours after receiving an SCP-XXXX-1 instance.
Description: SCP-XXXX was a brown leather briefcase capable of transporting appropriately sized objects by the means of teleportation. Once in roughly five-six days, SCP-XXXX would produce a short sound similar to the wind howling. If opened afterward, an SCP-XXXX-1 instance would be discovered within it. This event had occurred █ times since SCP-XXXX was contained before its neutralization on 20/08/19 (see Incident report XXXX-β for additional detail). Likewise, if a subject would put an item inside of SCP-XXXX and close it, it would produce an identical sound approximately 30 seconds later and the item would de-manifest.
SCP-XXXX-1 is a designation for various items, the size, and functions of which may vary. In most cases, the appearance of instances is identical to that of non-anomalous counterparts. However, most SCP-XXXX-1 instances are capable of performing functions that are atypical for their construction and exhibit anomalous properties.
Each SCP-XXXX-1 instance received by the Foundation had a note attached to it, written by an unknown individual (designated as PoI-11318)1. The content of the notes suggested that SCP-XXXX-1 instances were meant to be acquired by an unknown individual named "Benjamin" who lost the possession of SCP-XXXX at some point in time prior to its discovery by the Foundation.
Foreword: Following the receipt of the first SCP-XXXX-1 instance, it was decided to establish contact with PoI-11318 by transporting the written notes to them with the use of SCP-XXXX. In order not to arouse suspicion in PoI-11318, the assigned employee was instructed to only send short responses to the notes in which he had to acknowledge obtaining of the anomalous items while impersonating a supposed recipient named "Benjamin". All questions regarding PoI's identity, location or intentions should have been asked in a careful, indirect manner.
The list of notes sent by the PoI, as well as the description of SCP-XXXX-1 instances is presented below.
Date:
SCP-XXXX-1 instance: Metal switchblade with a black handle made from fiberglass. Following the subject inflicting any kind of damage to another subject while using the instance as a weapon, the affected subject's blood will lose the ability to clot, which will typically lead to death due to a significant blood loss.
PoI's message: Okay Benjamin, it's time to start the shenanigans. As we discussed before, you'll get in that compound, get the stone and send it to me. Don't worry about the last part, just stuff that thing into the briefcase and close it tight, it will do the rest of the job. And don't forget to bring my present with you. It might look like a regular knife, but trust me, if you stab someone with it they won't recover. Good luck, I'll be waiting.
Additional notes:
Date:
SCP-XXXX-1 instance: Six-shot pocket pistol visually identical to Lorcin L380 and requiring same ammunition. When the subject fires a shot which results in them hitting any body part of another subject, the bullet will explode, causing a spatial anomaly visually resembling a vortex to manifest within the hit spot. Over the next 5-10 seconds, the body of the affected subject will be sucked into the vortex, after that the anomaly will de-manifest.
PoI's message: Okay, I probably overestimated your skills, you couldn't just get in there with only a knife which causes people to bleed a lot. But now I'm gonna fix things. Just take this pistol with you, load it with regular bullets, shoot someone and see what happens. They won't even have time to react before they're gone. I know that you're a fine shooter, so it's probably will be a walk in the park for you. But hurry up, we don't have that much time.
Additional notes:
Date:
SCP-XXXX-1 instance: A steel grappling hook with four holding claws, attached to a 3-meter long rope.
PoI's message: Almost a week passed and you still didn't send me anything. It's not like I'm judging you, but was it really that hard to get in there? Okay, if you don't want to engage in a shooting with those guys, that's fine. I've got a solution. You'll probably have to practice for a bit with this one, but trust me, if you'll use it right the mission will become easier than ever. You won't even have to use doors, so it's possible you won't have to meet with the guards at all. Just do everything fast enough and they won't notice. I'm waiting.
Additional notes:
Date:
SCP-XXXX-1 instance: An unmarked spray bottle containing the yellow odorless liquid substance. The liquid possesses a consistency identical to that of water. If sprayed over any object, the substance will by unknown means cause it to cease refracting the light, making the object invisible for the naked eye. The effect will remain in force until the liquid is washed away. No consequences are present when the instance is used on human or animal skin, apart from minor skin irritation. The chemical analysis of the substance is currently ongoing.
PoI's message: Benjamin, I'll never believe that the guards of this place are so tough that you can't finish the mission with all those items I gave you. But that's alright, if you're still afraid of getting caught, we can solve this too. This one is not entirely finished yet but should work fine. Spray it all over yourself before going in, and the guards won't react, because they won't even see you. Now please, do your job, will you?

| Item #: SCP-XXXX | Level 2/XXXX |
| Object Class: Safe | Classified |
SCP-XXXX upon discovery.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be stored in a standard containment cell in a disassembled state and assembled only for experimentation purposes. The object is to be cleaned on a regular basis and oiled by a qualified employee every two years to prevent premature wear and tear. SCP-XXXX's small parts and details are to be replaced if any of them become unusable.
Subjects affected by SCP-XXXX's effect are to reside in a specially designated dwelling area at Site-224 and provided all required items. Their ration must include a minimum amount of perishable food; the most preferable type of products is long-term (especially canned). If the normal nutrition intake will be impossible for the subject, the use of parenteral nutrition is authorized.
All vocalizations of affected subjects are to be recorded, the obtained recordings are to be artificially accelerated until the vocalization is understood if deemed possible. Communication with the subjects is to be performed through writing, as any kind of verbal communication is considered ineffective.
All employees who will hear SCP-XXXX's chiming outside of the controlled conditions are to be immediately administered class-A Amnestics.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an antique floor clock with pendulum, measuring 1.8 meters in height. Its carcass is wooden, the mechanical parts and pendulum are made from copper.
SCP-XXXX is a level-III audible cognitohazard: when an individual hears its chiming, they will become a subject to an anomalous phenomenon which will cause them to undergo a deceleration relative to the regular passage of time. Aside from the subject's actions such as movements and speech, SCP-XXXX also affects the rate of all biological processes including the aging process, and the subject's interactions in physical environment (for more detail see Addendum XXXX.1).
SCP-XXXX's effect is accumulative and increases exponentially; each chime heard by an affected individual will decrease their speed by half of their current one. No limit to the accumulation of this effect has been discovered. Subjects who have heard more than twelve chimes will be seen by outside individuals as completely immobile. However, it was confirmed that at no point the movement of SCP-XXXX-affected subjects ceases completely.
Despite the anomaly, none of the affected subjects have exhibited any kind of distress. It is speculated that the reason for this lies in the deceleration of brain signals which leads to the subject's inability to properly evaluate their state.
Amnestics are only effective if administered within the first hour after the individual's initial encounter with the anomaly; on the later stages, SCP-XXXX's effects are considered irreversible.
Addendum XXXX.1 — Excerpts from the test log:
Test #: XXXX/2/B
Objective: To observe the reaction of SCP-XXXX-affected subject to physical interactions and to determine if SCP-XXXX's effect extends to the physical damage inflicted by other individuals.
Summary: During the course of the test, an assigned employee was ordered to inflict several non-lethal slashes to D-13111 (who was subjected to the SCP-XXXX's effect six times) using an ordinary folding knife. Despite the presence of physical contact between the knife and D-13111's hands, D-1311 showed no apparent reaction to employee's actions, and no wounds were detected on their skin upon the test's completion.Subsequent observation has shown D-1311 moving their arms in a haphazard fashion for the next two hours as if trying to protect themselves from an attack. In addition, small scratches were observed to appear on D-13111's palms and increase in size over the next two hours. Approximately thirty minutes later, the formed wounds began to bleed. First aid was rendered to D-1311 shortly after. It was established that the position of the wounds is identical to those that should have been formed during the test.
Test #: XXXX/3/A
Objective: To establish whether SCP-XXXX's influence extends to the affected subject's interaction with physical quantities such as gravitational pull.
Summary: An assigned employee was instructed to push D-13111 (who was subjected to the SCP-XXXX's effect nine times) down to the floor. Padded safety mats were prepared beforehand. No initial reaction was observed. However, over the course of the next five minutes, D-13111 has been pushed back and started falling down. Their fall continued for approximately fifteen minutes and eventually resulted in D-13252 landing on a safety mat.
Test #: XXXX/4/B
Objective: To determine whether the impact force of the affected subjects will change in accordance with their deceleration.
Summary: D-12183 (who was subjected to the SCP-XXXX's effect the most times2) was transported by the personnel to the needed location and pushed down to the floor from the three-meter-high.D-12183 was falling over the course of the next twenty hours. A deep, groaning sound was audible throughout the whole process (identified to be D-12183's decelerated scream). Notably, upon landing the subject received physical damage as if they were falling with normal acceleration. First aid was rendered to D-1311 shortly after.
SCP-XXXX
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: Following the Incident XXXX-β, SCP-XXXX is considered neutralized and therefore does not require any Containment procedures.
SCP-XXXX-1 instances currently in possession of the Foundation are to be redesignated as anomalous items and stored in the respective containment lockers.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous phenomenon which lies in a spontaneous manifestation of doors inside various food-related commercial establishments located in Great Britain. The phenomenon has been observed to mostly affect supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, and grocery stores and possesses no apparent pattern.
The manifested doors (hereinafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-1 instances) share the same visual design with the rest of the establishment and are indistinguishable from the unanomalous counterparts. In rare cases, instances also have inscriptions with the names of different rooms located within the establishment or signs specific to restrooms.
If a subject opens SCP-XXXX-1 and goes through it, it will immediately close and disappear from the establishment. This process has been confirmed to have minor antimemetic properties, as no individuals were able to directly observe the instance's de-manifestation. No subjects who entered SCP-XXXX-1 were recovered. It is possible to maintain contact with affected individuals via communication devices
Location tracking devices have been proven to be ineffective, as the subject's location will always be displayed
The area behind SCP-XXXX-1 resembles a cluster of poorly lit corridors and staircases.
Each of the SCP-XXXX-1 instances leads to an area visually resembling a system of poorly lit corridors and staircases, hereinafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-A.
Addendum. XXXX-B Incident Report Foreword: The following incident took place at approximately 5 PM, 20/10/2010, when SCP-XXXX-1 manifested during a containment breach of SCP-████, a separate SCP object which anomalous properties negatively affected the functionality of various containment chambers within the Site, including SCP-XXXX's. The malfunction, along with overall havoc allowed SCP-XXXX-1 to enter the chamber and come into contact with SCP-XXXX. The video log of the interaction is transcribed below.
BEGIN LOG
4:59: SCP-XXXX can be seen reading a book at the desk within its containment chamber.5:01: Camera located in a nearby corridor captures the emergence of a black puddle on the floor. The puddle rapidly increases in size over the next several minutes, whereupon the matter of which it is composed forms a humanoid figure.
5:06: SCP-XXXX-1 manifestation confirmed. The entity raises from the floor and begins to move towards the chamber.
5:08: SCP-XXXX-1 approaches the chamber's entrance. The guard standing near it is alerted and opens fire. SCP-XXXX-1 is hit by three shots but does not appear to be harmed. It stops for a moment, then switches its attention to the guard. The guard starts moving away from the chamber in an attempt to draw SCP-XXXX-1 away, then fires another shot.
5:09: SCP-XXXX-1 approaches the guard, who starts running away from the chamber. The entity changes its shape and becomes quadrupedal, it then charges towards the guard and quickly reaches them. SCP-XXXX-1 changes shape again, which results in a jaw manifesting on its head. Using it, SCP-XXXX-1 bites the guard and inflicts severe damage to their right leg. The guard falls down and makes an attempt to fire another shot, SCP-XXXX-1 grows an extra limb and grabs their weapon. The entity tosses the weapon away, then reaches for guard's mouth and starts pouring part of itself inside of them, causing suffocation.
5:11: SCP-XXXX lays the book on the table and slowly walks out of its chamber, looking around. It appears distressed, possibly due to sounds produced by the guard and SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX reaches the exit of the chamber and looks at SCP-XXXX-1, who immediately notices it. The entity abandons the guard, who then proceeds to cough and vomit with large amounts of ink, and changes its form to the initial humanoid one before approaching SCP-XXXX. The subject quickly runs back to its chamber, SCP-XXXX-1 follows it.
5:12: SCP-XXXX can be seen running around the chamber, presumably trying to fight way to retreat or means of self-defense. Due to the airlock's malfunction, SCP-XXXX-1 is able to enter the chamber.
[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]5:42: A wide, vertical cavity forms on SCP-XXXX-1 head. The entity opens it and starts producing sounds similar to choking. Black ink is emerging from the cavity. SCP-XXXX appears distressed and does not move.
5:44: A book covered in ink slowly emerges from the cavity while the choking sounds are becoming louder. It then falls to the table, splashing the ink onto SCP-XXXX's belongings. SCP-XXXX-1 takes the notebook and gives it to SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX-1: Write.
SCP-XXXX: W-what? What… Do you want? What is this?
5:45: SCP-XXXX takes the book and opens it, most of the pages are fully covered by ink, making the contest indecipherable.
SCP-XXXX: Is this the… That thing? No. I can't. It was… A bad idea. Please.
5:45: SCP-XXXX pushes the book away and looks at SCP-XXXX-1. The entity takes SCP-XXXX's hand and puts the book into it.
SCP-XXXX-1: Write.
SCP-XXXX: No. I won't. G-get away. It's over.
5:46: SCP-XXXX is in tears. It does not respond to SCP-XXXX-1. The entity stretches one of its limbs to SCP-XXXX and slaps it.
SCP-XXXX-1: Write!
5:47: SCP-XXXX starts shaking; it covers its head with its hands. SCP-XXXX-1 takes a step closer and begins to attack SCP-XXXX, hitting it with its limbs.
[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]
END LOG
Afterword: SCP-XXXX-1 was drawn out of the chamber and immobilized shortly after, which caused it to de-manifest as normal. SCP-XXXX had received several injuries and is currently residing within the Site's medical department. The only attempt to interview SCP-XXXX regarding the incident resulted in it experiencing a panic attack, which made it impossible to acquire any useful information. Future interviews are postponed until SCP-XXXX's recovery.
The book brought by SCP-XXXX-1 was retrieved shortly after the incident. It was established that the item in question is a notebook signed by SCP-XXXX. Almost all pages, including the cover, are completely covered by the ink, making the contents undecipherable. The only two inscriptions left visible are found on the first and third page, reading "Ideas" and "Chapter 1" respectively.
A monotonous sound of key tapping was coming from the office. Usually, this place would be already empty at such a late time, but today one of the employees had to stay here a little longer. He was dealing with far more tasks than he could handle in one shift, so working overtime was the only solution.
He looked away from the monitor for a moment to check the time, it was already 1 AM. The employee sighed and returned to his work; couple more keystrokes and he'll call it a day. At least this situation will teach him not to postpone everything until the last moment.
Several minutes later he already packed his things, put on his coat, and was about to turn off the office computer. But then he noticed an annoying flashing icon on the monitor. New notification. The employee moved the cursor over the image to read it. Hope that this notification was an error and it will be possible to go home, leaving it unanswered, quickly evaporated.

Someone was editing the page very actively. Moreover, the last edit was made only four minutes ago. At first, the employee thought it was one of his colleagues adding new data to the article or correcting the errors someone made earlier. But then he glanced around the dimly lit RAISA office, which was completely empty besides him, and rejected this theory. After giving up his hopes to end this working day in time, he took off his coat, sat down at the computer and began to sort through various designations and object numbers in his head. Alas, nothing related to the SCP-7325 designation was coming to mind. He had no choice but to…

Item #: SCP-7325Object Class: Pending
Special Containment Procedures: All Foundation employees showing symptoms associated with hypomnesia or paramnesia (in particular, memory lapses or distortions) and denying the existence of a Foundation Senior Researcher named "Martin Styles" are to be isolated in soundproof quarantine chambers. All communication with affected subjects is to be done through writing, verbal communication is to be limited. In the case of affected employees' resistance, the use of non-lethal weapons for containment purposes is permitted.
Senior Researcher Martin Styles is to be monitored by assigned personnel. He is to take part in testing regarding SCP-7325 upon requirement. As there is no visible direct connection between SCP-7325 and Mr. Styles' actions, the latter is permitted to continue to perform his duties as Foundation employee.
Description: SCP-7325 is a memetic agent affecting memories. This effect typically includes substitution, distortion and/or complete erasure of certain events and facts from the affected subject's memory. It is believed that SCP-7325 is capable of transmitting through any kind of verbal communication, including sign language, but does not affect written communication. SCP-7325's influence is remarkably chaotic, and the number of affected memories varies on a case-by-case basis. The only visible pattern lies in the fact that all affected memories are in some way related to the Foundation Senior Researcher Martin Styles, currently performing his duties at Site-224.
It was also established that all of the affected individuals possess a number of similar characteristics:
- They are Foundation employees performing their duties at Site-224.
- They perform their duties in the Foundation for less than two (2) years.
- Before being affected by SCP-7325 they knew Researcher Styles personally or at least were aware of him being a Site-224 employee.
As a result of exposure to SCP-7325, affected subjects lose all memories and emotional experiences related to Mr. Styles, and therefore will not recognize him as a Foundation employee and (in cases of subjects who knew him personally) as an acquaintance. Affected subjects will typically deny the fact of being affected by SCP-7325 and their prior contact with the aforementioned Senior Researcher. More than half of the interviewed subjects also showed signs of mental disorders manifesting in the form of various obsessive ideas. In particular, assumptions were made regarding the anomalous nature of the Researcher Styles himself, but none of them have been confirmed.
Approximately 25% of Site-224 personnel are considered to be affected by SCP-7325. No signs of contamination among civilians or Foundation personnel located in other facilities were detected.
He rubbed his tired eyes and stared at the monitor. The formatting was quite acceptable and the anomaly itself wasn't very different from what the Foundation employees have to encounter on a daily basis. And yet, something about this article seemed strange. The employee couldn't pinpoint the cause of his suspicions. Possibly, he just became paranoid after working with documents for too long. However, after three years of work at RAISA, he learned that when dealing with SCP documents, even the slightest suspicion should not be ignored.
He opened the history of edits and prepared to carry out the necessary manipulations with the document. At that moment, he also asked himself a rather obvious question: did he remember who Martin Styles was? Did he meet him at least once? He couldn't remember. It was rather hard for him to memorize names of all the employees when there were at least six dozen of them in his facility alone.
However, he was still able to vaguely recall the document that was now opened on his monitor. And he was sure that last time he saw this document, it looked a little different. To either confirm or debunk his suspicion, the employee decided to…

Special Containment Procedures: All Foundation employees showing symptoms associated with hypomnesia or paramnesia (in particular, memory lapses or distortions) and believing in the existence of a Foundation Senior Researcher named "Martin Styles" are to be isolated in soundproof quarantine chambers. All communication with affected subjects is to be done through writing, verbal communication is to be limited. In the case of affected employees' resistance, the use of non-lethal weapons for containment purposes is permitted.
The Site-224 memetic department is to continue research aimed at identifying the pattern of SCP-7325's transmission and developing more effective measures to contain the phenomenon.
Description: SCP-7325 is a memetic agent with mind-affecting properties, transmitting through verbal communication. SCP-7325 systematically distorts memories and emotional experiences of the affected subjects, resulting in them believing in the existence of a person referred to by affected individuals as "Senior Researcher Martin Styles" (hereinafter SCP-7325-1).
All interviewed individuals described SCP-7325-1 as a dark-haired, middle-aged man holding the position of a Foundation Senior Researcher and performing his duties at Site-224.While describing SCP-7325-1, most victims focused primarily on its positive qualities and traits, particularly its supposed professionalism as the Foundation employee.
During the subsequent research aimed at obtaining reliable facts about SCP-7325-1, Foundation operatives have found out that an individual possessing all or most of the traits described by the affected subjects was never hired by the Organization and is not an employee of Site-224 or any other facility. Attempts to obtain biographical data of an individual corresponding to the aforementioned traits in the Foundation database and the government bodies loyal to it have resulted in failure.
Addendum 7325-1. Message from SCP-7325 lead researcher: Due to an increasing number of attempts made by personnel to edit this article, adding inaccurate or completely false information, it was decided that the possibility to make edits to this file will be limited. From now on, this can only be done by employees directly related to the object's containment or by people from RAISA. All those who have made any un-documented changes to the document will be inspected for anomalous influence and placed in the quarantine department if it is detected. It is recommended to coordinate all edits with me personally and refrain from independent actions from now on. We cannot afford the risks.
He grinned for a moment, realizing that his hunch had not failed him. But the joy didn't last long as the document he accessed only raised even more questions. He didn’t have enough time to collect his thoughts or wonder about the possible cause of these changes, as the notification icon flashed again on the monitor. New edits.
The employee frowned and immediately reached for the file's "Options" tab. Although this weird file vandalism took him by surprise, he remembered exactly what to do in such a situation. One button, and he'll lock the file so no one besides authorized RAISA personnel will be able to edit it. Then he'll also add a notice about something sketchy happening with the article itself. At the very least, this had to become a temporary solution until tomorrow morning.
NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
The following document has been labeled as potentially affected by anomalous influence. Information presented below may be inaccurate, distorted or entirely compromised.
Satisfied with his temporary victory, the employee quickly pressed the desired combination to save the changes. Click, and now the system will display a message stating that the edits have been saved, the document will be safe.
…At least it was supposed to do that. But instead, the system did not respond to employee's attempts to save the changes either after this keystroke or after the next one. Was it his computer that decided to fail him at the most crucial moment? Before the employee could blame the machine, a message appeared on the monitor and proved him wrong.
ACCESS DENIED
The entered credentials do not correspond to the ones required to gain access to the following file. Note that information presented in the file is classified and can be only accessed by employees with [ERROR: DATA CORRUPTED OR LOST] clearance level.
He knew he had access to this document, as well as permission to edit it. What could go wrong? His movements were becoming more and more rushed while he was trying to bypass the lock by entering his credentials time after time. Something told him that this strange system's behavior wasn't just a glitch. It was like someone confronted him intentionally. And did so very thoughtfully.
He flinched, as if from static discharge, after seeing one more notification about the edits popping up on the monitor. After reloading the page, the employee decided not to lose hope and…

Special Containment Procedures: All Site-224 employees showing symptoms associated with hypomnesia or paramnesia (in particular, memory lapses or distortions) and denying the existence of a Foundation Senior Researcher named "Martin Styles" are to be isolated in medical wing #2. Their verbal communication with the rest of the personnel is to be limited. In the case of affected employees' resistance, the use of non-lethal weapons for containment purposes is permitted.
Description: SCP-7325 is an anomalous phenomenon affecting memories. This effect may include the substitution, distortion and/or complete erasure of certain events and facts from the affected subject's memory. SCP-7325 influence is remarkably chaotic, and the number of affected memories varies on a case-by-case basis. The only visible pattern lies in the fact that all affected memories are in some way related to the Foundation Senior Researcher Martin Styles, currently performing his duties at Site-224.
Methods of SCP-7325's spreading is currently unknown, however it was established that all its victims possess a number of common characteristics:
- They are Site-224 employees.
- They perform their duties in the Foundation for less than two (2) years.
- Before being affected by SCP-7325 knew Researcher Styles personally or at least were aware of him being a Site-224 employee.
As a result of exposure to SCP-7325, the affected subjects lose the ability to perceive Mr. Styles as a Foundation employee and (in cases of subjects who knew him personally) as an acquaintance. Affected subjects will typically deny the fact of them being infected by SCP-7325 and their prior contact with the aforementioned Senior Researcher. They will also react aggressively to the personnel's attempts to remind them of memories distorted by SCP-7325. More than half of the interviewed subjects also showed signs of mental disorders manifesting in the form of various obsessive ideas. In particular, assumptions were made regarding the anomalous nature of the Researcher Styles himself, but all of them were soon debunked.
Approximately 20% of Site-224 personnel are considered to be affected by SCP-7325. No signs of contamination among civilians or Foundation personnel located in other facilities were detected.
Addendum — Incident report 7325-1: On 05/01/19, SCP-7325 had spread its anomalous influence to the Site-224's RAISA department by unknown means. His victim was the only employee who resided in the department at that time and who soon tried to edit the document of the above-mentioned SCP object. As soon as the facility's administration became aware of the breach, the security personnel was sent to the department to retrieve the affected individual and place him into isolation. Despite the minor resistance from the subject, he was soon transferred to the quarantine.
He wiped off the sweat from his forehead before reading the last addendum again. It was added just a couple of minutes ago, probably while he was trying to get permission to make edits. The scene described in the incident report immediately seemed familiar. The obvious realization hit him very quickly: this text described the current situation, and that employee was him.
He made several deep breaths and tried his best to keep focus. From a logical standpoint, this text didn't have to mean anything. It was possible that his intangible enemy just decided to threaten him, so he would stop his attempts to save the document. He reloaded the page once again and decided to make one more try.
Then, sounds of rapidly approaching steps coming from the corridor changed his plans.
He rose from his chair and, almost by a reflex, turned his head to the door. The next moment it swung open and two armed people came in, aiming their weapons at the unlucky employee. Their black uniforms and special facial masks were making them look even more threatening, but also quite familiar. The employee immediately understood that he was facing the Site's security guards. The same guards mentioned in the incident report.
He looked at the intruders with horror and tried to figure out his next actions. Try to reason with them? They'll probably think he's affected and won't listen. Show them the document? They probably won't even understand what's written there. There was no way out. But suddenly, the employee remembered the office's emergency exit. The room was not very big, leaving it required only one predetermined charge.
It would be insane to try to escape at this situation, but to his tired and stressed brain, it seemed like the best solution. Fear prevailed over common sense and when one of the guards pointed at the employee and shouted something, he immediately rushed towards the exit.
The guard answered with another shout, to which the employee didn't pay any attention. He felt the metal taste in the back of his mouth, his legs moved as if on their own, a few more steps and the emergency exit was already within reach. The employee was about to pull the handle and leave this place but suddenly heard a loud, short sound. A moment later, he felt a sharp pain in his right leg and fell down. He looked back and saw the guards walking towards him, as well as a bullet wound that was hurting like hell.
The employee made a last, desperate attempt to crawl away before the guards took him by the arms and started dragging him out of the office. He tried to explain the situation, tell them that he wasn't affected, that someone named Martin Styles was behind all this. Unfortunately, due to SCP-7325's ability to transmit through verbal communication, the guards were equipped with devices designed to drown out the sounds.
The last thing he could make out before losing consciousness was an employee standing in his office, whom he somehow didn't notice before. It was a dark-haired, middle-aged man, dressed like a Foundation Senior Researcher. Leaning against one of the tables, he looked at the RAISA employee with a broad smile. The latter could only see him for a brief moment before being dragged to the hallway on his way to the quarantine chamber. However, he knew exactly who this man was. Just like every other Site-224 employee.

Item #: SCP-7325Object Class: Pending
Special Containment Procedures: All Foundation employees showing symptoms associated with hypomnesia or paramnesia (in particular, memory lapses or distortions) and denying the existence of a Foundation Senior Researcher named "Martin Styles" are to be isolated in soundproof quarantine chambers. All communication with affected subjects is to be done through writing, verbal communication is to be limited. In the case of affected employees' resistance, the use of non-lethal weapons for containment purposes is permitted.
Senior Researcher Martin Styles is to be monitored by assigned personnel. He is to take part in testing regarding SCP-7325 upon requirement. As there is no visible direct connection between SCP-7325 and Mr. Styles' actions, the latter is permitted to continue to perform his duties as Foundation employee.
Description: SCP-7325 is a memetic agent affecting memories. This effect typically includes substitution, distortion and/or complete erasure of certain events and facts from the affected subject's memory. It is believed that SCP-7325 is capable of transmitting through any kind of verbal communication, including sign language, but does not affect written communication. SCP-7325's influence is remarkably chaotic, and the number of affected memories varies on a case-by-case basis. The only visible pattern lies in the fact that all affected memories are in some way related to the Foundation Senior Researcher Martin Styles, currently performing his duties at Site-224.
It was also established that all of the affected individuals possess a number of similar characteristics:
- They are Foundation employees performing their duties at Site-224.
- They perform their duties in the Foundation for less than two (2) years.
- Before being affected by SCP-7325 they knew Researcher Styles personally or at least were aware of him being a Site-224 employee.
As a result of exposure to SCP-7325, affected subjects lose all memories and emotional experiences related to Mr. Styles, and therefore will not recognize him as a Foundation employee and (in cases of subjects who knew him personally) as an acquaintance. Affected subjects will typically deny the fact of being affected by SCP-7325 and their prior contact with the aforementioned Senior Researcher. More than half of the interviewed subjects also showed signs of mental disorders manifesting in the form of various obsessive ideas. In particular, assumptions were made regarding the anomalous nature of the Researcher Styles himself, but none of them have been confirmed.
Approximately 25% of Site-224 personnel are considered to be affected by SCP-7325. No signs of contamination among civilians or Foundation personnel located in other facilities were detected.

Item #: SCP-7325Object Class: Pending
Special Containment Procedures: All Foundation employees showing symptoms associated with hypomnesia or paramnesia (in particular, memory lapses or distortions) and believing in the existence of a Foundation Senior Researcher named "Martin Styles" are to be isolated in soundproof quarantine chambers. All communication with affected subjects is to be done through writing, verbal communication is to be limited. In the case of affected employees' resistance, the use of non-lethal weapons for containment purposes is permitted.
The Site-224 memetic department is to continue research aimed at identifying the pattern of SCP-7325's transmission and developing more effective measures to contain the phenomenon.
Description: SCP-7325 is a memetic agent with mind-affecting properties, transmitting through verbal communication. SCP-7325 systematically distorts memories and emotional experiences of the affected subjects, resulting in them believing in the existence of a person referred to by affected individuals as "Senior Researcher Martin Styles" (hereinafter SCP-7325-1).
All interviewed individuals described SCP-7325-1 as a dark-haired, middle-aged man holding the position of a Foundation Senior Researcher and performing his duties at Site-224.While describing SCP-7325-1, most victims focused primarily on its positive qualities and traits, particularly its supposed professionalism as the Foundation employee.
During the subsequent research aimed at obtaining reliable facts about SCP-7325-1, Foundation operatives have found out that an individual possessing all or most of the traits described by the affected subjects was never hired by the Organization and is not an employee of Site-224 or any other facility. Attempts to obtain biographical data of an individual corresponding to the aforementioned traits in the Foundation database and the government bodies loyal to it have resulted in failure.
Addendum 7325-1. Message from SCP-7325 lead researcher: Due to an increasing number of attempts made by personnel to edit this article, adding inaccurate or completely false information, it was decided that the possibility to make edits to this file will be limited. From now on, this can only be done by employees directly related to the object's containment or by people from RAISA. All those who have made any un-documented changes to the document will be inspected for anomalous influence and placed in the quarantine department if it is detected. It is recommended to coordinate all edits with me personally and refrain from independent actions from now on. We cannot afford the risks.

Item #: SCP-7325
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: All Site-224 employees showing symptoms associated with hypomnesia or paramnesia (in particular, memory lapses or distortions) and denying the existence of a Foundation Senior Researcher named "Martin Styles" are to be isolated in medical wing #2. Their verbal communication with the rest of the personnel is to be limited. In the case of affected employees' resistance, the use of non-lethal weapons for containment purposes is permitted.
Description: SCP-7325 is an anomalous phenomenon affecting memories. This effect may include the substitution, distortion and/or complete erasure of certain events and facts from the affected subject's memory. SCP-7325 influence is remarkably chaotic, and the number of affected memories varies on a case-by-case basis. The only visible pattern lies in the fact that all affected memories are in some way related to the Foundation Senior Researcher Martin Styles, currently performing his duties at Site-224.
Methods of SCP-7325's spreading is currently unknown, however it was established that all its victims possess a number of common characteristics:
- They are Site-224 employees.
- They perform their duties in the Foundation for less than two (2) years.
- Before being affected by SCP-7325 knew Researcher Styles personally or at least were aware of him being a Site-224 employee.
As a result of exposure to SCP-7325, affected subjects lose all memories and emotional experiences related to Mr. Styles, and therefore will not recognize him as a Foundation employee and (in cases of subjects who knew him personally) as an acquaintance. Affected subjects will typically deny the fact of them being infected by SCP-7325 and their prior contact with the aforementioned Senior Researcher. They will also react aggressively to the personnel's attempts to remind them of memories distorted by SCP-7325. More than half of the interviewed subjects also showed signs of mental disorders manifesting in the form of various obsessive ideas. In particular, assumptions were made regarding the anomalous nature of the Researcher Styles himself, but all of them were soon debunked.
Approximately 25% of Site-224 personnel are considered to be affected by SCP-7325. No signs of contamination among civilians or Foundation personnel located in other facilities were detected.
Addendum 7325-1. Incident report: On 24/04/19, SCP-7325 had spread its anomalous influence to the Site-224's RAISA department. Its victim was the only employee who resided in the department at that time and who soon tried to edit the document of the above-mentioned SCP object. As soon as the facility's administration became aware of the breach, the security personnel was sent to the department to retrieve the affected individual and place him into isolation. Despite the minor resistance from the subject, he was soon transferred to the quarantine.
Life of averages employees here isn't very enviable, be it a researcher, a security guard, or (especially) an MTF member. Or even a RAISA employee like yourself. All of you come to work, day after day, to perform your duties hoping that something you'll do will help the greater purpose. You meet other people, you work with them, you experience bad and good times, you fear and hope along with them. Some of those people might become a little more to you than just colleagues. And then, let's say one of you suddenly disappears. Dies during a containment breach, suffers an accident or just decides to kill oneself because of the unbearable pressure this job puts one under.
They won't show up at work anymore, they won't meet other people, they won't perform their duties. Some people will notice and get curious about what happened. And when they learn the truth, they'll be shocked and devastated. For a couple of days, at least. Surely, friends or some colleagues might grieve a little longer, but most people won't be affected by this at all, some won't even know who that person was. They will be too busy dealing with their own stuff to care. That person's duties will be transferred to someone else, their colleagues will forget and continue to live their lives. Everything will turn back to normal very soon. And just like that, that person will vanish from their minds. Terrifying, isn't it? Fortunately, I found a way.
You can see me right now, don't you? No, I'm not in front of your eyes, I'm not behind your back waiting to scare you when you'll turn around, I'm not even in this room. But you still see me. A dark-haired, middle-aged man, dressed like a Foundation Senior Researcher. Your brain had already constructed this image of me and then gave it life by visualizing my various actions. Even now, subconsciously, you can hear my voice while reading this text. Because of that, I exist. And others will see me just like you do. Even if it's something as simple as running into each other in one of the Site's hallways or saying "hello" in the break room. We will continue to experience, to fear and hope, together. I'll be there, deep down at the back of your minds. And trust me, I certainly won't vanish.
You seem to like editing SCP documents. So, how about we add something to this file?
| Addendum XXXX.1. Complete list of located individuals |
|---|
| Individual | Location | Injuries |
|---|---|---|
| Olivia Brown, female, 36 years of age, | cell-content | cell-content |
| George Hughes, male, 48 years of age, psychiatrist, performed his duties in the local hospital | Living room on the first floor | Multiple dental injuries are observed, the oral cavity is severely damaged. Thatch in large quantities is found within the throat and respiratory system. Expired due to suffocation. |
| Alexa Williams, female, 24 years of age, performed duties of George Hughes' assistant | Front yard, facing away from the house | Eyeballs are missing, feet are severely damaged. Thatch is found inside orbital sockets and in the place of toenails. Cause of death is determined to be a brain injury caused by thatch piercing the tissue and reaching the frontal lobe. |
| Mark Gray, male, 10 years of age, son of Mrs. Gray | cell-content | cell-content |
| Presumably, Alice Gray, female, 18 years of age, daughter of Mrs. Gray | A corridor on the second floor | Large amounts of thatch are found around the body and inside of the most vital organs. Dermis on the Individual's face and limbs had presumably imploded due to thatch manifesting under it in large quantities. Due to present injuries, identification of the body is difficult. |
LoI-2439FD is a land plot measuring approximately 400m², located in Ferndale, California. Within the area, there is a garden and two structures: a shed and a two-story "cottage" type house furnished in contemporary style. The house was previously occupied by Mrs. Barbara Gray, who became SCP-XXXX's legal owner following the death of her husband, Mr. Adam Gray, in 2016, and her two children. The exact mechanism of SCP-XXXX's anomalous effect or the means to trigger it are currently unknown.
SCP-XXXX was discovered as a result of an investigation conducted by the local police department regarding disappearances of several village's residents. It was determined that each of the missing individuals entered SCP-XXXX prior to their disappearance, several officers were then dispatched to the scene and discovered five corpses in the area, each of which was later identified as one of the missing residents. Reportedly, each of the bodies had large amounts of thatch located within their natural orifices and internal organs. No signs of struggle were detected, present internal and external injuries seem occurred due to the spontaneous manifestation of thatch.
Due to apparent anomalous influence which led to the individuals expiring, Foundation was alerted. SCP-XXXX was contained, the town's inhabitants administered B-class amnestics and a cover-up story was launched in order to conceal the disappearance of affected individuals.
To do:
- Write the first addendum
- Edit the second addendum to fit the new concept
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Foundation agents embedded in Ferndale police department are tasked with monitoring the received calls for mentions of disfigured human bodies with thatch located within or next to them upon discovery. In the case of such bodies being discovered, they are to be recovered and brought to the nearest Foundation Site for further study. All witnesses are to be administered class-A amnestics and the individuals to whom the bodies belonged are to be declared missing.
Land plot previously owned by Mrs. Barbara Gray was labeled as LoI-2439FD and became Foundation property after the initial investigation. Requests aimed at obtaining new information regarding SCP-XXXX are to be proposed to the object's current curator.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an event that occurred at 02/07/2019 in the town of Ferndale, California, and resulted in six individuals located in different parts of the town simultaneously expiring. Each of the located bodies had large amounts of thatch located within their natural orifices and internal organs. No signs of struggle were detected, present injuries had seemingly occurred due to the spontaneous manifestation of thatch. According to the conducted interviews, there were no direct witnesses despite some of the town's residents being in close proximity.
SCP-XXXX was discovered upon the local police department launching an investigation regarding the apparent murder of five Ferndale's inhabitants. Due to apparent anomalous influence which led to the individuals expiring, Foundation was alerted. SCP-XXXX was catalogized, the town's inhabitants were administered B-class amnestics and a cover-up story was launched in order to conceal the death of affected individuals.
Complete list of the expired inhabitants is as follows:
- Olivia Brown. Female, 36 years of age. Was discovered in the kitchen of her apartment. Thatch is located under dermis in the hands' area and under the fingernails. Cause of death was determined to be significant blood loss.
- George Hughes. Male, 48 years of age, a psychiatrist by profession. Was discovered sitting at a table within his office at the local hospital. The oral cavity is severely damaged, thatch is located inside the throat and lungs. Cause of death was determined to be suffocation.
- Alexa Williams. Female, 24 years of age, performed duties of George Hughes' assistant. Was discovered on the staircase leading to her apartment. Feet are severely damaged, thatch is located under dermis in the ankles and under toenails. A blunt force injury is present on the left temple, presumably caused by fall on the stairs.
- Olivia Davis. Female, 35 years of age, ombudsperson for children's rights by profession. Was discovered in a living room of her apartment holding a cellphone. No thatch was discovered externally. The subsequent autopsy showed large amounts of thatch located within various internal organs. Cause of death was determined to be internal bleeding.
- Mark Gray. Male, 10 years of age, son of Barbara Gray. Was discovered in a nursery on the first floor within LoI-2439FD. Eyeballs are missing, thatch is found inside of orbital sockets. Cause of death was determined to be blood loss paired with brain injury.
- Presumably, Alice Gray, female, 18 years of age, daughter of Barbara Gray. Was discovered in a corridor on the second floor within LoI-2439FD. The body is disfigured, large amounts of thatch are located both internally and externally. Present injuries make identification of the body and further analysis difficult.
LoI-2439FD is a land plot measuring approximately 200m², located in Ferndale, California. Within the area, there is a garden and two structures: a shed and a two-story "cottage" type house furnished in contemporary style. The house was previously occupied by Mrs. Barbara Gray, who became SCP-XXXX's legal owner following the death of her husband, Mr. Adam Gray, in 2015, and her two children.
On 05/07/2019, three days following the initial discovery of SCP-XXXX, Foundation agents tasked with inspecting the house located within LoI-2439FD discovered a locked room on the second floor. The lock was picked and the personnel were able to enter. The room in question turned out to be a bedroom with a single double bed, furnished in contemprorary style. Inside, agents discovered a hanged body, later identified as Barbara Gray. It was determined that the individual committed suicide. State of the body's decomposition is similar to thereof individuals affected by SCP-XXXX.
Personnel also discovered a life-sized humanoid scarecrow laying on the double bed. The scarecrow was entirely made of thatch and dressed in typical men's clothing. A tray with rotten, covered in mold food and a postcard was located next to it. The postcard reads: "For Adam, the best husband and father there ever was". The scarecrow possesses no apparent anomalous properties.

LoI-2439FD.
LoI-2439FD is a land plot measuring approximately 200m², located in Ferndale, California. Within the area, there is a garden and two structures: a shed and a two-story "cottage" type house furnished in contemporary style. The house was previously occupied by the family of Mrs. Barbara Gray, who became LoI-2439FD's legal owner following the death of her husband, Mr. Adam Gray, in 2018.On 05/07/2019, Foundation agents tasked with inspecting LoI-2439FD due to its theorized connection to SCP-XXXX discovered a locked room on the second floor of the house. The room in question turned out to be a bedroom with a single double bed, furnished in contemporary style. Inside, agents discovered a hanged body, later identified as Barbara Gray. It was determined that the individual committed suicide. State of the body's decomposition is similar to thereof individuals affected by SCP-XXXX.
Personnel also discovered a life-sized humanoid scarecrow laying on the double bed. The scarecrow was entirely made of thatch and dressed in typical men's clothing. A tray with decomposing food and a postcard was located next to it. The postcard reads: "For Adam, the best husband and father there ever was". The scarecrow was recovered and transferred to the nearest Foundation Site for further study; no apparent anomalous properties were detected.
The house is empty. Empty and silent. That's how it is now. And that's how it'll be forever from now on. All because of one simple mistake made in a fit of rage. One simple, but unfixable mistake.

Здравствуйте. Извините, если отвлекаю вас от каких-нибудь дел, но в последнее время меня все чаще донимает одна проблема психологического характера. Коллеги посоветовали обратиться к вам, но, если честно, мне не хотелось бы оффициально просить у вас целый психологический сеанс. Не думаю, что поднимать шум из-за подобного будет прилично, да и другим об этом знать совсем необязательно. Еще решат, что у меня совсем крыша едет.
В общем, найдется ли у вас свободное время, чтобы меня проконсультировать? Я искал что-то похожее на свою проблему в разных источниках, но, к сожалению, безрезультатно. Буду ждать вашего ответа. Спасибо за ваше время.

Здравствуйте! Разумеется, нет никакой проблемы в том, чтобы поделиться этим через сообщения, если вам так будет удобнее. Можете описать, что вас беспокоит, и я постараюсь вам помочь. Только учтите, что если ваша проблема окажется серьезной, нам все же придется провести курс лечения. Узнают об этом ваши коллеги или нет — не так важно, здоровье должно быть на первом месте.
Жду вашего следующего сообщения. Извините заранее, если не смогу написать вам содержательный ответ в тот же день. В последнее время крайне много работы, но я постараюсь уделить вам внимание как можно скорее.

Большое спасибо! Разумеется, я подожду столько, сколько будет необходимо.
В общем, моя проблема заключается в том, что меня преследуют, если можно так выразиться, навязчивые образы. Если точнее, то мне часто представляется место, крайне схожее с моим теперешним окружением. Иногда могу узнать в нем свой дом, улицу, по которой часто хожу, или рабочее место. Только в том месте все очень искажено и обезображено. Людей нигде, повсюду руины, кучи пыли и грязи. Будто все было давно заброшено, а почему — неясно. Хуже всего ощущение, будто бы весь мир вокруг там именно такой. Жуткий, еще и такой чуждый, что ли.
Эти мысли донимают меня уже около трех недель. Началось все с обычных размышлений, но со временем они становились все более навязчивыми. Дошло до того, что мне стало трудно работать и пришлось брать больше перерывов, поскольку я не мог сконцентрироваться. Недавно я стал видеть это во снах, просыпался с криком чуть ли не после каждого подобного случая. Но это еще не все. Как бы объяснить, несколько дней назад я как будто увидел это уже наяву. Пытался себя ущипнуть, дотрагиваться до окружающих меня вещей, даже звал кого-то, но избавиться от этой жути смог обычно только спустя час-два.
После этого случая стал пить успокоительное каждый раз, когда становилось совсем невыносимо, а еще снотворное, чтобы по ночам нормально засыпать. Отчасти помогло. Но все таки это меня беспокоит, не хотелось бы, чтобы это происходило чаще. Были ли у вас в практике подобные случаи? Спасибо.

Здравствуйте. Извиняюсь еще раз, что не смогла ответить вам раньше.
То, что вы описываете — достаточно серьезно. Особенно если проблема достигла такого размаха, что мешает вам нормально жить. Но, конечно же, паниковать не стоит. Вы правильно поступили, обратившись ко мне, и я приложу все усилия, чтобы помочь вам.
Давайте попробуем разобраться: эти навязчивые образы появились спонтанно, или же в связи с какими-нибудь другими вашими переживаниями? Такое может происходить из-за реакции мозга на испытываемый вами стресс, с которым вы не можете справиться. Подумайте о том, что натолкнуло вас на ваши размышления о "разрушенном мире" изначально. Разумеется, это может быть неприятно, но если мы поймем причину, то найдем и способ разобраться с ней.
И да, я понимаю, что вы этого не хотите, но я все же настаиваю на сеансе. Проблемы подобного рода нельзя оставлять без внимания.

Благодарю за ваш ответ! Если честно, вчера это вновь произошло. И длительность видения на этот раз была куда больше: целых четыре часа. Ощущения были просто отвратительными. Но, в тоже время, они позволили мне слегка лучше понять свое состояние в такие моменты. Интересно то, что я не ощущаю какого-то животного страха или беспокойства за свою жизнь. Главное чувство, которое одолевает меня — это безысходность. Будто бы мир, в котором я нахожусь, как бы сказать… Совершенно пустой. Ничейный. Будто бы раньше он был наполнен теми, кто поддерживал его в целости и сохранности, но теперь все они исчезли. И ничего из того, что они делали уже неважно. Внутри все съеживается и я никак не могу избавиться от этого ощущения, пока "нахожусь" в том месте. Хорошо хоть в этот раз успокоительное оставил рядом. Выпил явно больше чем надо, но тот кошмар все таки прекратился.
Но знаете, ваше сообщение натолкнуло меня на размышления. Я немного подумал и, скорее всего, все это как-то связано с моей работой. Раньше я часто ловил себя на мыслях о том, насколько легко мы можем провалить свою миссию. Мы ежедневно сдерживаем сотни опасных аномалий, некоторые из которых даже не изучены нами до конца. По сути все, что нужно для возникновения катастрофы — одна небольшая ошибка, скажем, допущенная во время эксперимента с одним из объектов, или какой-нибудь просчет в ОУС. Ведь всегда существует человеческий фактор.
Тяжело быть уверенным в нашей позиции, находясь в таких условиях. Помню, как часто узнавал о всякой жути, происходящей в других Зонах, да и сам иногда читал отсчеты, если хватало уровня допуска. Создавалось ощущение, будто бы в один момент мы все контролируем, а в следующий все уже может рухнуть без видимой причины. Думаю, частое проведений мной исследований в таком состоянии тоже не делало все лучше. Как думаете, может ли это и правда быть связано?
Прошу простить меня, если занимаю слишком много вашего времени. Думаю, я буду не против одного-двух сеансов терапии, если вы считаете, что они помогут.

Ни в коем случае не волнуйтесь насчет моего времени. Моя работа и заключается в том, чтобы помогать в подобных ситуациях.
Вы очень хорошо поступили, проанализировав свое состояние во время видения. И я также хорошо понимаю ваши ощущения касательно работы в Фонде. Выполняя свои обязанности, вы делаете благое дело, но на вас также лежит и большая ответственность, которая, вкупе с различными неприятными обстоятельствами, может оказывать на вас давление. Если вы испытываете это давление постоянно, рано или поздно психика даст слабину.
Вполне возможно, что ваши проблемы появились в первую очередь из-за чрезмерно тяжелого рабочего графика и, как следствие, чрезмерного контакта с царящей на вашей работе мрачной атмосферой. Лучшим решением сейчас будет, как я думаю, временно отстраниться от работы. Попробуйте отложить все дела, которые не являются первостепенно важными, и немного расслабиться. Если понадобится, попросите других исследований временно подменить вас.
Я рада, что вы решили не отказываться от сеанса. Я буду ждать вас послезавтра в своем кабинете в 14:00, если вас устроит такое время. Удачи вам!

Простите, но… Что случилось? Я пришел сегодня в назначенное время, однако ни вас, ни вашего ассистента в кабинете я не нашел. Просидел там около часа, пока не ушел решив, что вы не придете. Наш сеанс переносится?
К слову, ваш совет пока что не помогает. Я весь день пытался расслабиться и выкинуть работу из головы, но выходит у меня так себе. Если честно, то это начало происходить все чаще. Теперь я вообще не могу забыть об этих проклятых образах. Успокоительное, к сожалению, уже заканчивается. Может быть есть еще какие-нибудь методики противостояния этому?

Сегодня я наконец осмелился выйти на улицу и взглянуть на окружающий мир по-настоящему. Я бы не сделал этого по своей воле, но увы, прятаться в этом полуразваленном, заброшенном помещении уже не выйдет. К тому же, у меня закончились так успокаивающие меня амнезиаки, а где достать новые я не знаю. Кто-то из коллег мог бы сказать мне, но их здесь нет. Они мертвы, как и все остальные. Странно, как из-за отсутствия людей изменилась Зона. Теперь она кажется такой пустой, такой просторной. Такой чуждой.
Спасибо вам за вашу помощь, Елена. Она очень многое для меня значила.

Item #: SCP-4247
Pigeons affected by SCP-4247 at the site of its initial discovery.
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4247 is embalmed and kept within an appropriately-sized Safe-class containment locker in Site-224. Outside of testing, SCP-4247 is not to be moved into open-air space.
In the event that SCP-4247 is located outside of the controlled environment, it is to be immediately moved indoors. Personnel are to coordinate driving off SCP-4247-1 instances while recovering SCP-4247. If the number of instances exceeds forty, the use of firearms is permitted.
Description: SCP-4247 is the deceased body of Paul Miller, a middle-aged white male. When in open-air location, SCP-4247 will attract all nearby avian species of the Columba3 genus through unknown means.
Affected pigeons (hereafter referred to as SCP-4247-1) will surround SCP-4247 while producing constant vocalizations, pecking and prodding the body with their feet, and occasionally delivering small quantities of food such as bread crumbs to it. The radius of SCP-4247's effect is 100 m initially and gradually increases over time with no observed limit. Once the body is moved to any indoor placement, the anomalous properties will gradually wear off with affected pigeons leaving the location in small groups.
SCP-4247's anomalous effect was first discovered shortly after Paul Miller's death which occurred at 10 AM, 25/05/2020, in a local park. Two days after Mr. Miller had expired, a civilian reported the body to local authorities and a medical team was dispatched to confirm the death. Upon approaching the body, they encountered several pigeons that attempted to attack the team's members. Reportedly, affected birds' numbers rose to more than a hundred in under an hour, which caused the present individuals to flee. The instances remained near SCP-4247 and reacted aggressively to all individuals attempting to approach it for the next several hours. The Foundation agents were then dispatched to the scene and SCP-4247 was contained.
Subsequent investigation has revealed that Paul Miller was a homeless person, with no close friends or living family members.
Addendum. 4247-C Incident Report The following incident took place on 31/08/2020, during a test aimed at observing limitations of SCP-4247's properties. SCP-4247 was placed in an open-air space within Site-224. Several armed security officers located within close proximity were tasked to drive off SCP-4247-1 instances. After approximately thirty minutes, a large flock including three hundred various affected pigeons approached the location.
SCP-4247-1 instances during Incident 4247-C.
SCP-4247-1 did not demonstrate any reaction to security officers firing several warning shots and proceeded to fly towards SCP-4247. The instances then formed a circle and began to haphazardly move around the body. Approximately two minutes later, affected pigeons grouped around SCP-4247, grabbed it and, despite the personnel's efforts, took off.
The instances traveled approximately 160 km without breaks before flying into a garret of an abandoned storage building in Paul Miller's hometown. SCP-4247 was later discovered laying inside of a pigeon nest measuring approximately 2.5 m in diameter along with a dozen SCP-4247-1 instances. An attempt was made to withdraw SCP-4247 but failed due to the aggressive reaction from present SCP-4247-1 instances. Further actions aimed at re-containing SCP-4247 are currently pending object curator's approval.
According to civilians, a flock of pigeons inhabited the building since early 2014. It was also confirmed that Paul Miller has been frequently seen in the area, observing the birds and occasionally feeding them small quantities of food.
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the vast popularity of the subject SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties are involved in, full containment was deemed inefficient. Due to this fact, alternative containment procedures were compiled with the help of pataphysics department for the purpose of minimizing SCP-XXXX's manifestations and its contact with civilian population.
Foundation agents embedded into online communities centered around "The Simpsons" franchise are to encourage and, if deemed necessary, take part in the creation of miscellaneous fan content based on the show. Activity within said communities is to be at all times maintained on the level necessary for timely production of content.
As a result of agreement made on 06/30/19, the corporate entity "20th Century Fox" is allowed to continue producing episodes of "The Simpsons". All such episodes are to be inspected by the selected personnel with high memetic resistance for any discrepancies with the original script. The episodes which possess any number of such discrepancies are to be denied release, transcribed and documented in the respective file.
[CONTAINMENT FOR STUFF APPEARING IN OLDER EPISODES]
Description: SCP-XXXX is a designation given to the Simpsons Family — main characters of "The Simpsons", american animated sitcom created by Matt Groening and originally released in 1989. SCP-XXXX are sapient and possess partial self-awareness regarding their fictional nature, as well as ability to alter the content of any episodes of the said sitcom they appear in. Episodes affected by the anomaly (hereinafter SCP-XXXX-1 instances) are altered on all media they're present on, both digital and physical. Currently, there is no known method to prevent or revert the changes.
SCP-XXXX-1 instances are class-II visual cognitohazards and will negatively affect the psyche of most4 individuals that view them. Upon watching an SCP-XXXX-1 instance, affected individuals will gradually develop a persistent dissociative disorder which will result in them being unable to differentiate reality from fiction, beliving that fictional events observed by them took place in real life and vice versa. In half of the observed cases, subjects also claimed to experience strong sense of anxiety and symptoms usually accosiated with clautrophobia, but could not articulate the reasoning behing those emotions.
Individuals are treatable within first several hours after being affected, as removing all memories of the SCP-XXXX-1 instance on this stage will prevent the disorders from developing. After twenty for hours of individual being under SCP-XXXX-1's influence, the effects are considered irreversible.
……………………
While SCP-XXXX-1 instances first manifested in 2016, it is believed that SCP-XXXX's self-awareness was gradually developing since late 1998.
Item #: SCP-5000
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the fact that contents of SCP-5000's document are prone to change at random time periods, this file is not to be uploaded directly to the SCP-5000 slot within the database. Instead, it is to be kept as addenda within the main SCP-5000 document, accesible to the employees possessing 3/5000 clearance level. This file is not to be removed or edited without the permission of Dr. Skinner, the object curator.
Object currently designated as SCP-XXXX is to be treated according to standard Foundation containment protocols. Upon cessation of the anomalous effect, it is to be disposed of in case of it being an inanimate object, or adminestered amnestics and released in case of it being an individual.
Description: SCP-5000 is an anomalous phenomenon affecting inanimate objects, location and livings beings with no apparent pattern. When an object is affected by SCP-5000, all individuals perceiving it will believe that it possesses some kind of anomalous property. SCP-5000 influences perception of both individuals familiar with the concept of anomalous5 and civilians, who will typically interpret the object's properties as "magical" or "paranormal". This will lead to the object being discovered by the Foundation, contained, and invariably designated as SCP-5000. This effect is theorized to be a form of memetic hazard, however the research into its specifics has thus far been inconclusive.
The phenomenon affects one object at a time at irregular time intervals6, with the former object designated as SCP-5000 ceasing to display hazardous effect upon new one manifesting. The properties attributed to affected objects vary on a case-by-cases basis and can be typically explained by unanomalous sets of circumstances or fully debunked. Despite that, individuals will continue to believe that the object affected by SCP-5000 is anomalous until the effect transfers.

Discovery and subsequent events:
Object designation: SCP-5000-5.
Description: Olivia Anderson, 22 years old female. Prior to containment, was a professional light athlete and won vast majority of the competitions she took part in. The subject was initially believed to possess an ability to subconsciously create localized probability anomalies, which influenced most of her personal successes.
Discovery and subsequent events: Was discovered in july 2012 and intercepted by the Foundation personnel on her way to London, United Kingdow. The subject was brought to the nearest Foundation site with several difficulties caused by random factors. Initial testing conducted by Dr. Skinner confirmed anomalous properties. Upon the initial containment, a cover-up story describing the subject dying in a car accident near London was developed.
SCP-5000-5 was contained within a standard humanoid containment chamber until august 2019, when SCP-5000 ceased its effect. The subject was then amnestisized and released to the general population under different name.

Addendum.XXXX.1: Interview Log Interviewed: Dr. Daniel Skinner
Interviewer: Local HMCL Curator
BEGIN LOG HMCL Curator: Greetings doctor Skinner. I believe there were matters you wanted to discuss?
Dr. Skinner: Yes. I'm not sure how to tell you this, but… Oh well, might just say as is: I no longer want to be a head researcher for SCP-5000. As a matter of fact, I don't think I even want to be a part of the Foundation. I've decided that it'll be better to resign. Thought I'd tell you this, so you'd be able to reorganize the staff.
HMCL Curator: Hm, that's a very sudden decision. And a very important one. Did you think this through?
Dr. Skinner: Oh, I did. Trust me.
HMCL Curator: Dr. Skinner, I trust your judgement, but I'd recommend not to take such drastic moves right now. You've suffered a terrible loss, your wife…
Dr. Skinner: Don't mention it.
HMCL Curator: All I want to say is that I understand your feelings, but…
Dr. Skinner: I said "don't mention it"! And do you truly understand them? Do you understand that my own wife had to be put into that chamber because of some kind of phenomenon? The chamber in which she died because we couldn't get her medical attention in time! She should've stayed in the hospital, under the survilliance of proper specialists. And then I've learned that the "cognitohazard" we thought she had wasn't even there in the first place! We just killed a person without any reason for it.
HMCL Curator: Again, I'm sorry for your loss, but "we killed a person" isn't the right way to look at it, I believe.
Dr. Skinner: I will only see it that way because I was a part of it, and you can't convince me otherwise.
HMCL Curator: Our work isn't an easy one, and you, as a senior researcher, know it even better than I do. Accidents are inevitable. All we can do in this situation is to accept it and move forward. It's hard, but remember that what you do is far more important on a global scale.
Dr. Skinner: No, it's not. All this work was useless. We've been trying to piece together what SCP-5000 is for what, 15 years now? There's still no pattern, no successful research data, nothing! It keeps jumping from object to object, and we keep trying to catch it, like it's a game! Now, because of it, my wife is dead, my kid, considering this job's schedule, is pretty much an orphan, and there's no progress on that skip whatsoever. Spare me your standard comforting bullshit!
Dr. Skinner slams fist on a table, then rubs his eyes.
HMCL Curator: Dr. Skinner, you're a valued member of our staff, and we care about your well-being. What happened was a tragedy, but making decisions in this state won't help either. I suggest you take a paid leave and sort through everything, then come back to us with a clear mind and announce your decision.
Dr. Skinner: No, this won't help. I told you that we didn't make progress on SCP-5000. And by that I mean any progress. We just keep searching the source, hoping that this time everything will go differently and we'll be able to contain it. But it doesn't, we redesignate the number and start all over again. My wife is… (Loud exhale) This isn't the first time, is it? Remember that athlete, who spent seven years in containment before we realized she was clean? She isn't coming back to those sport competitions anymore, her career is lost.
HMCL Curator: (Сlears throat) Dr. Skinner, you're worrying about this too much, I believe.
Dr. Skinner: Do I? Remember when we had to seize a section of medical from all local hospitals because we thought they were anomalous? And then several people died because they required those meds? Those are just a couple of examples. And I don't know how many more it'll take to contain SCP-5000. I doubt we'll ever reach that point.
HMCL Curator: Dr. Skinner, you're tired and distressed right now. Your worldview reflects your current state. I can assure you that SCP-5000 will be contained sooner or later, just like every other anomaly we've encountered.
Dr. Skinner: I used to also believe that. But this one is different. We know virtually nothing about it. Due to pure luck we were able to understand that this phenomenon exists, but we can't figure out what is it, why does it function this way, how to contain it… Fuck, I'm honestly so sick of all this.
HMCL Curator: That is understandable, Dr. Skinner. Like I said, we can't always succeed.
Dr. Skinner: It'd be nice to succed at least once. Through the years, I tried everything to understand and contain it. I used to imagine the moment when I'll finally unsolve this mystery and SCP-5000 will appear in one of those chambers just like everything else. But the more I think about it, the more I feel like this moment never happens.
Dr. Skinner starts tapping his fingers.
Dr. Scinner: I
………………..
Dr. Scinpr: To contain! Our main goal. We're trying to do that everytime we face something unknown. We see anomalies everywhere and lock them up for safety, but what if this time it's different? Vice versa?
HMCL Curator: Doctor, I don't think I understand you right now.
Dr. SCipPr: What if SCP-5000 cannot be contained? What if our desire is just…
Dr. SCP-ppr0 coughts
Dr. SCP-5p00: This never made any sense, curator! It's all [MEMETIC HAZARD REDACTED].
HMCL Curator looks at the person in front of him, gasps, gets up and takes a quick step back. SCP-5000 gets up from its seat and approaches the curator.
SCP-5000: [MEMETIC HAZARD REDACTED]
HMCL Curator: Security! We have an anomaly right there, in the interview room!
SCP-5000: [MEMETIC HAZARD REDACTED]
Two security guards enter the room, SCP-5000 looks at its hands and falls down to its knees, visibly shocked.
SCP-5000: [MEMETIC HAZARD REDACTED]
Security personnel detains SCP-5000 and drags it away from the interview room, while it tosses and twitches, trying to free itself.
ENG LOG
Afterword:
NOTICE: ACTIVE INVESTIGATION IN PROGRESS
The following file concerns an anomaly currently under investigation. Any information presented here may be incorrect, inaccurate or purely speculative.
Item #:
Object Class: Pending
Special Containment Procedures: [AAAAAAAAA]
Description: SCP-5000 is an unknown anomalous object that was supposedly contained within Site-81 at some point of time. The Foundation does not possess any data regarding SCP-5000's current state, appearance or anomalous properties; the only information related to the object is found in a document of unknown origin located within Site-81 database. The document is formatted as standard Foundation testing log and consists of several D-class employees interacting with the object designated as SCP-50007 one at a time and experiencing anomalous influence while doing so.
The testing log was discovered by RAISA personnel on 20/08/2020, however, according to the server data, it was submitted ten days later. Subsequent database server inspection showed no malfunctions. All Site-81 employees stated that they were unfamiliar with the document upon questioning. Dr. Joanna Patterson, listed as the testing curator within the log, did not recall conducting the experiments described in it or submitting them to the database. Initial information analysis carried out by the memetic department showed no hazards within the document.
| Addendum XXXX.1: Discovered testing log. |
|---|
Foreword: Shortly following the initial containment of SCP-XXXX, the testing program aimed at studying the object's properties was submitted by Dr. Joanna Patterson and approved by Site-81 director. All of the five tests were successfully carried out and documented in this file.
Test #: XXXX-2E
Subject: D-13756
SCP-XXXX's spinning velocity: Fast
Summary: A newborn can be seen crying at the floor of the chamber. After a minute, the crying abruptly stops and the baby starts to grow in age, gradually turning into D-13756. While this process takes place, the standard D-class uniform is manifesting on the subject's body by being sewn in mid-air. D-13756 screams, then stands up and walks towards SCP-XXXX. They touch the object in an attempt to stop it. SCP-XXXX slowes dowm, then ceases spinning completely. D-13756 turns away from the door and walks out of the containment chamber backwards.After the testing, the subject started to show signs of temporal delusion similar to ones documented during Test XXXX-2C.
Test #: XXXX-2D
Subject: D-12828
Active SCP-XXXX elements: #1, #2 and #4
Summary:
Test #: XXXX-2C
Subject: D-12828
Active SCP-XXXX elements: #3
Summary: The subject enters the chamber. The subject leaves the chamber. The subject enters the chamber. The subject leaves the chamber. The subject enters the chamber. The subject leaves the chamber. The subject enters the chamber. The subject leaves the chamber. The subject enters the chamber. The subject leaves the chamber. After approximately an hour, the test is stopped by Dr. Patterson.
Test #: XXXX-2B
Subject: D-15768
Active SCP-XXXX elements: AAAAAAAAAA
Summary: AAAAAAAAA
Test #: XXXX-2A
Subject: D-12828
Active SCP-XXXX elements: #2
Summary: D-12828 enters the containment chamber and approaches SCP-XXXX as instructed. The subject activates element #2 by pushing the respective lever and stand next to the object for several minutes. D-12828 undergoes a rapid reversed aging process, their appearance gradually changing. The subject pushes the lever again to deactivate SCP-XXXX, then turns away from the door and leaves the containment chamber backwards.Further analysis has determined that
Patterson's hands shuddered as he noticed that the subject was regaining counsiousness. Researcher clutched the documents he was holding and tried to suppress the increasing shaking in his limbs. The man he observed through a bulletproof window right now was locked up and restrained, but it didn't make the researcher feel safer. He knew for a fact that dealing with the chamber locks was well within this person's capabilities. Even the group of security guards standing nearby would have little chances.
"Mr. Patterson, I'd like you to pay close attention," the woman in a lab coat
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Neutralized (formerly Euclid)
Current Containment Procedures: Following an incident on 01/09/2018, SCP-XXXX is considered neutralized and does not require containment procedures. Assigned personnel are to continue the investigation on PoI-1695 and other individuals accosiated with the "Are We Cool Yet?" Group of Interest.
Archived Containment Procedures: Foundation-operated bot I/O-GAMER is to search for mentions of SCP-XXXX online and suppress the information regarding the object from spreading. Individuals claiming to have witnessed SCP-XXXX's effect are to be located, amnestizised and released into general population. The project focused on promotion of videogame "Roblox" and media accosiated with it among the local civilians in order to minimize SCP-XXXX's visibility is currently pending approval.
Description: SCP-XXXX was an acoustic anomalous phenomenon observed in the town of San Mateo, California. Upon any person within the town expiring, a loud (~90 db) sound resembling an exclamation originating from the videogame "Roblox" would be emitted through the individual's oral cavity. No negative effects on the individuals perceiving SCP-XXXX outside of the ones caused by the typical reaction to loud sounds were observed. The phenomenon was first discovered at 20/08/2018 and ceased ten days after, at 01/09\/2018. It is believed to be created by PoI-1695, although the exact process is currently unknown (see Investigation log).
Addendum. Investigation Log: Two days after SCP-XXXX was discovered, the Foundation inlisted support of local authorities to conduct an investigation regarding the possible cause of the phenomenon. It was determined that one of the San Mateo citizens named Nolan Ewald8 was related to Group of Interest ("Are We Cool Yet?") and had intentions of creating an unspecified art exhibition prior to SCP-XXXX's effects first manifesting.
On 01\09\2018, a group of Foundation agents visited PoI-1695's apartment. The individual himself was not present, but the search led to the discovery of the following items:
- A CD-ROM containing "Roblox" videogame. Broken in half.
- Five appliances visually similar to wifi-routers, connected to each other via wires system, exact purpose unknown. Heavily damaged by blunt force and no longer functional.
- Simple diagrams of human throat and oral cavity with a number of marks made by a pencil on them. Torn in multiple pieces.
- A yagi antenna located near the window. Heavily damaged by blunt force.
- A large number of publications focused on various art forms, including one containing information on anomalous art exhibitions that apparently took place over the last five years.
- An ordinary hammer. Presumably was used to inflict damage on aforementioned items.
- PoI-1695's mobile phone. Was found lying near one of the walls, severely damaged.
Despite the inflicted damage, it was possible to extract part of the data from the phone's memory. Several messages coming from different phone numbers were discovered.
Wait, did I miss something? Is there something else happening to those corpses?
When you told me that it would be something new and original, I really expected something different.
Do you really think it's funny to joke about people dying?
Sorry, but I'm not feeling it. I'm not against being on board with trends, but this just feels like you're trying to capitalize on popular things instead of creating an art piece with actual meaning.
You've asked for my router just to make this?
Probably could've worked five-six years ago, but nowadays you really have to put more effort into your work than that.
This might work better in a different form. Maybe try approaching it from another angle. Then it can become something more interesting than just an oof sound.
Following the visit, it became apparent that SCP-XXXX ceased to function, shortly after it was reclassified as "Neutralized". Identities of individuals responsible for the presented messages and PoI-1695's whereabouts are currently unknown. The investigation is ongoing.
NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
The following document describes an object capable of data alteration. Parts of the article believed to be affected by anomalous influence are presented in a color similar to that of violets coated in bright evening sunlight.
This was certainly something. Out of all documents that Junior Researcher Gordon Patterson had to read in the past week, this was the first one to grab his attention. Having only recently started his carrier in Foundation, Patterson was only assigned to anomalous items or, at best, the simplest and safest SCP objects. This one was also classified as "Safe", yet the RAISA notice showed that it's properties might be more interesting than things-that-do-things that Gordon was usually researching. The man moved his chair closer to the desk and looked into the computer's screen.
After reading several paragraphs of description, Patterson's interest had quickly faded. The described anomaly was just a simple person, whose writing, both digital and physical, had an odd ability to change after already being written. This effect was as noticeble to the public as it was corny to the Foundation. Apparently, the man was also a writer, and even tried to publish his works through local maganizes. Gordon signed. The poor dude probably didn't even know what was happening before ending up in a possibly life-long containment. A couple of minutes later, Patterson's sympathy for the man has given way to dissapointment. There were no "data alterations" in the document present in a different colour, except for the piece of prose written by the skip himself and used as an example. Apparently, someone from RAISA tagged the article by mistake.
Researcher leaned back on his chair and stared at the office's ceiling, thinking about his today's duties. Clearly, he'll conduct a routine interview log with the man, asking about when did his abilities originated or their possible source. Then, he'll collect more of the skip's works in an attempt to find some kind of pattern in their distortion. Most likely, there will be no pattern whatsoever, and his research will end right there. Judging by the clock on Patterson's computer, there was still plenty of time to do all those monotouns tasks, so there wouldn't be any harm in taking a little break until afternoon. Having supressed all his unecessary thoughts, Gordon slowly got up from his comfortable chair, turned off the computer and walked to the exit from the room with spry steps.
