Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX must remain in an immovable tank which has been built into the floor. It is to be provided with a water source and algae every two-weeks. Contact with the item is prohibited and attempts to relocate SCP-XXXX must only be performed by Class-D Personnel and SCP-XXXX-P.

Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be an orange and white shell. Previously thought to be uninhabited, SCP-XXXX has left faecal traces on personnel and in its tank. [DATA EXPUNGED] had claimed to have seen a claw coming from the shell, because of this it is to be given a supply of oxygen, water and sustenance until further notice.

The full effects of SCP-XXXX have not all been established, although it seems to be able to take and store the memories of any person who either touches or moves it. Those who have touched it will instantly gain the memories of whoever last touched SCP-XXXX before them. The person who has undergone the memory exchange will be referred to as SCP-XXXX-P. It is important to note that SCP-XXXX-P's sense of identity is not affected by this transfer; they are still able to recall their name, date of birth, sex and even personal preferences such as favourite foods, in most cases this will cause internal psychological conflict in XXXX-P.

After the initial confusion, psychosis and suicide are the most common end results for those that have touched or moved SCP-XXXX. Subjects tend to always realise that their memories no longer correlate with their identity. Some cases, typically with younger test subjects, show that they will dismiss their identity and adopt a new one which matches their newly obtained memories.

SCP-XXXX-P is able to touch and move SCP-XXXX without undergoing the memory exchange again. Further testing is required to determine all technicalities tied to SCP-XXXX.

Addendum 1.1: Touching SCP-XXXX will trigger its effects. It is important to keep in mind that those who move it will also undergo the same effects. Moving the shell by hitting it with another object or picking up a container or platform which SCP-XXXX is in/on, are among a few methods to activate it. It is, however, safe to move SCP-XXXX using vehicles and machinery.

Addendum 1.2: Due to malpractice, SCP-XXXX will be transferred from site ██ to the [REDACTED] bio-facility at site ██-A on ██/██/18. All information passed on by site ██ is to be reviewed and re-tested.

Dr. Larson's Test

Test 2.B - 11/11/17__

Subject: Class D-███████

Procedure: The test subject is to explain in as much detail as possible, a significant event which happened to them during their lifetime. D-███████ described [DATA EXPUNGED] which caused them lifelong trauma. Prior to being allowed into SCP-XXXX's containment area, D-███████ was instructed to only touch SCP-XXXX once the event which they described was all they were thinking of. It was ensured that all of D-███████'s needs were satisfied as to not cause any distractions.

Results: D-███████ upon recall displayed no signs of confusion, disorientation and seemed able to confidently recall past experiences, such as the crimes they had committed in the past. The reported crimes matched the subjects record and so it is conclusive that SCP-XXXX's memory exchanging effects did not take place. When asked about the traumatic event which they earlier described, the subject was adamant that it never occurred even after hearing an audio of themselves describing the events.

Larson's Analysis: The effects of SCP-XXXX seem to only be detrimental if the subject does not have a specific memory in mind. Further testing on this phenomenon is required as a selective memory wipe may provide a solution to the psychological damage which a lot of personnel endure.

Researcher ████ Statement: Dr Larson has been [REDACTED]. Multiple reports from Larson's ex-personnel claim that many tests conducted by him had been incorrectly recorded. Once Test 2.B was over, Larson had ordered D-███████ to touch SCP-XXXX again, which resulted in the loss of all of the subjects' memories. D-███████ did not accumulate any memories from SCP-XXXX, the subject then [DATA EXPUNGED] and died. Test 2.B was not the first of its kind according to site ██ researchers, who reported that Larson had tried to get these results several times before and had used [DATA EXPUNGED] D-Class personnel. SCP-XXXX's undesired effects outweigh the prospect of having a selective memory wipe. I believe that further testing on SCP-XXXX is unnecessary and a waste of resources, however site director ████ has decided experiments will not stop until SCP-XXXX has been fully understood.
