Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Protocol: Though typical erroneous productions would either be disposed or archived without SCP desgination through the Counter-Memetics arm of the Records and Information Security Administration, recent events have led to CM-RAISA to suspend their archival policy in favor of SCP designation for SCP-XXXX.

The production is to be sealed within a manila envelope labeled with EYES-UNSAFE standard cognition warnings and placed with the XLVI reference files in a red folder. Any handling of the production is to be done with vis-safe memetic blinders and without any visual recording equipment present nearby.

The original production is not to be transmitted electronically or moved from RAISA archives, with copies produced by sympathetically-linked Bezier-Berryman curve-sketching kits for testing purposes only. These copies are to be disposed via paper-shredder or incineration no less than 10 days after the conclusion of tests.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a defective memetic visual kill-agent from Berryman-Langford Series XLVI. Based on other kill-agents in the XXVI series, SCP-XXXX contains a complexity curve of 0.0+5.3i and a hypothetical specific cognitive resistance target of 0.01p1. However, due to the nature of the kill-agent these values are unable to be verified in a laboratory setting.

Like all other XLVI series kill-agents, SCP-XXXX theoretically targets the amygdala, which is the region of the brain that controls emotional response and hormone release. The kill-agent induces production of norepinephrine, cortisol, and other various hormones which may provoke general fear responses, mania, paranoia, catatonia, and fatal heart attacks or strokes in those fully exposed.

The XLVI series — produced in 1972 — was notable as it was the first kill-agent series to have a time delay between exposure and death along with a resistance to amnestic treatment, which was a large obstacle in time-delay kill agent production at that time. Each agent in the series was designed to trigger a preset time after exposure, ranging from ten seconds to two years, with a variety of applications in the field. SCP-XXXX (XLVI-80S) was designed to activate eighty seconds after exposure.
