Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be hermetically sealed into a plastic box in the storage area at Area 179. Box holding SCP-XXXX is to be isolated to an empty cargo container inside a Faraday cage. No recording or transmitting device of any kind is allowed into the Faraday cage. Access to SCP-XXXX needs approval of two level 4 researchers. Any unauthorized contact with SCP-XXXX is to be met with immediate and deadly force. After examining SCP-XXXX the subject is to be terminated within 60 minutes of contact to prevent LK-class restructuring event. SCP-XXXX is to be inspected every five years and if the condition of SCP-XXXX has deteriorated, measures is to be made to ensure containment. Five printer farms with 1,000 printers each are to be ready to maximise control of containment breach.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a standard A4 sized piece of paper containing the details of [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-XXXX came into Foundation’s possession due to a containment breach1 of SCP-079 in █/█/████. After the containment was re-established, SCP-XXXX was found by Dr. Cooper in a nearby printer. Upon reading the paper and its content Dr. Cooper contacted security and demanded immediate containment protocols to be enacted on her instructions. After initial containment was established, Dr. Cooper terminated herself after leaving written instructions about the nature of SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX seems to contain memetic anomaly that can lead to an LK-class restructuring event. Exact information is unavailable due to the difficulty to research SCP-XXXX without risk of memetic exposure. Dr. Zuma, Dr. Mejia and Dr. Thornton have confirmed that SCP-XXXX is a level 4 threat to humanity’s psyche before they were terminated. Extradimensional entities are confirmed to be part of possible LK-class restructuring event. Further analysis of extradimensional entities classified as level 6 hazard by O5-█.
All instances to eliminate SCP-XXXX has caused a containment breach. SCP-XXXX’s anomaly properties extend it to recreate itself upon destruction or after sustaining certain amount of deterioration2. SCP-XXXX will recreate itself into a random electrical device capable of printing or copying approximately 50 kilometers of its destruction. If no such device is in set range, it is theorized3 that the range is increased until suitable device is in range. Any copy of SCP-XXXX has the same anomaly properties as the original, except its recreation upon destruction. Only when the last copy of the SCP-XXXX is destroyed is another recreated.
Research of SCP-XXXX is suspended indefinitely. O5 council has deemed the cost of meaningful research to be unsustainable as every individual researching SCP-XXXX is to be terminated. Using class D personnel has been deemed unproductive since scientists cannot ascertain given information without direct exposure to SCP-XXXX’s memetic anomaly and thus negating the use of class D personnel.
Addendum:
If SCP-XXXX shows signs of deterioration, it is critical to ensure a copy is made of the SCP-XXXX using an old non-electrical typewriter. After the copy is made, it is safe to destroy the original. Usage of class D personnel is permitted during this process. Maximum safe memetic exposure time is deemed to be 30 minutes.

Research Log A-0
Audio record of Dr. Cooper, 16 minutes since exposure:
Anomaly is memetic and causes the individual to lose all sense of humor if read. I can testify this as I felt it when I first read this new SCP. Extend of anomaly is unknown at this moment and I suggest more research to be made. In case of a greater memetic threat I will not inform what exactly is written on the paper.
Audio record of Dr. Cooper, 24 minutes since exposure:
As I feared, the anomaly has deeper levels than just losing all sense of humor. It has been approximately 22 minutes since I was exposured to the memetic agent that I started feeling strange presence at the back of my head. I have informed security of this and enacted containment measures for myself.
Audio record of Dr. Cooper, 41 minutes since exposure:
Now, when I close my eyes, I can see a bright window in the distance. Behind it there are some blurry humanoid figures moving around. It is too bright to see anything else. I think those are the beings that was described in the anomaly. I feel nervous and I feel like I am being watched.
Audio record of Dr. Cooper, 45 minutes since exposure:
It is impossible to get a better look at the window, but I have concentrated my efforts to look around me. I see vague humanoid profiles surrounding me, seeming unaware of anything that is happening. I am starting to feel somekind of closeness to them.
Audio record of Dr. Cooper, 76 minutes since exposure:
It seems that the beings are aware that something is off! They are searching me! I fear that if they found me, they will do something terrible to all of us! Secure, contain, protect! [unaudible]
At this time Dr. Cooper managed to wrestle a firearm from a nearby guard and terminated herself.
Research Log A-11
Audio Log D-1 by Dr. Carlton:
I have compiled all the research files thus far and I can make some broad generalisations about SCP-XXXX. The paper itself is normal, but the text itself is memetic and causes the reader to become aware of somekind of "truth" and in the process they lose all sense of humor. Dr. Meija's research confirmed this as he was known to giggle and laugh at every possible joke imaginable and after exposing himself to SCP-XXXX it was all gone. Straight face, even when he heard the joke that in the preliminary testing had him kneeling over laughing and crying.
Then we come to the beings the subjects have observed after 40 minutes of exposure. It seems they are extradimensional and what little I have managed to gather without exposing myself to SCP-XXXX is that they are mentioned in the anomaly. It seems that these beings are somehow connected to the immediate effect of SCP-XXXX. In what extend, that is unknown since every researcher exposed has declined to speak about it and cited it to be dangerous and to trigger memetic contagion.
Research made to identify the humanoid beings surrounded the subjects have identified that the humanity has a collective psyche and those humanoids are indeed other humans. Or more precise their manifested psyche. And that somehow they are all connected to each other in a subconsious level. Further research on the subject is pending.
Dr. Zuma's research report indicates that individual memetic exposures are not separated from each other but are the same one. Dr. Zuma's research revealed that if a test subject was exposed to SCP-XXXX's memetic anomaly and after 30 minutes other test subject was also exposed, the second test subject was in same state as the first one. Thus the memetic exposure is to be calculated from the first subject.
My advice? Leave this thing alone. I am not a curious person and I really don't want to know more about this. I think this is far enough of research we have made to keep SCP-XXXX contained. Anything else is to just satiate the curiosity of someone. And you know the proverb about the cat.
Addendum:
Incident #1
Dr. Zuma proposed laminating the SCP-XXXX in order to preserve its condition. SCP-XXXX was successfully laminated. Copy of SCP-XXXX was found seven minutes later on a copying machine on floor ███. Security was alarmed and containment regained 13 minutes later. Two level 1 Foundation employee were terminated due memetic exposure.
Containment procedures upgraded.
Duration of containment breach: 20 minutes
Duration of memetic exposure: 13 minutes
Incident #2
During testing SCP-XXXX was intentionally damaged to a point of unreadable. Containment breach was alarmed, and Mobile Task Force “Quicksilver” was dispatched. SCP-XXXX was found to be recreated itself in a local radio station at ████████, 37 km from Area 179. Embedded Foundation personnel (later the asset) alerted the Mobile Task Force after reading SCP-XXXX when local news anchor brought it to the studio. To ascertain no further containment breach to be had, the asset activated protocol Alpha-Red-Four and terminated contaminated personnel. After the Mobile Task Force arrived at the scene, the asset gave hastily contained SCP-XXXX to the Task Force leader before termination.
Incident was staged as a domestic terrorist attack where the perpetrator was shot.
Containment procedures upgraded.
Duration of containment breach: 52 minutes
Duration of memetic exposure: 37 minutes
Incident #3
During a procedure of making a copy of SCP-XXXX, class D personnel was observed to speak silently while typing. After termination of class D personnel, Dr. Thornton heard a security guard to have a conversation about the nature of SCP-XXXX. Dr. Thornton alerted security of containment breach and identified contaminated Foundation personnel for immediate termination. Dr. Thornton was also terminated due to memetic contamination.
It was revealed that the security guard had heard class D personnel’s words and the memetic anomaly was transferred, increasing memetic exposure to dangerous levels.
Containment procedures upgraded.
Duration of containment breach: 14 minutes
Duration of memetic exposure: 67 minutes
Incident #4 through #8
Five authorized controlled containment breaches were created during testing and containment procedures were upgraded accordingly.
Containment procedures are calculated to be 96.3% effective on ensuring SCP-XXXX will recreate itself upon destruction on Foundation controlled printer.
Maximum duration of continuous containment breach: 31 minutes
Maximum duration of continuous memetic exposure: 19 minutes

Incident #9
Sanctioned level 5 test.
Authorization: O5-█.
Location: ███████
Test leader: Dr. Kohl
Purpose of test: Ascertain SCP-XXXX's connection to extradimensional entities and to observe entities.
Dr. Kohl was authorizised to conduct level 5 test on SCP-XXXX. Test was done on a secure location. A copy of SCP-XXXX was produced for the test. Test subject was instructed to concentrate on the observation of extradimensional entities reported by Dr. Thornton and not to report any information of SCP-XXXX.
Test subject was exposed to the memetic anomaly. Upon examining SCP-XXXX the subject was horrified and told that the content of SCP-XXXX hit him like a freight train. Dr. Kohl reminded the subject to not retail any information from SCP-XXXX.
After 22 minutes the subject informed he felt a strange presence. Dr. Kohl confirmed it was consistent with Dr. Coopers report. The subject informed strange feeling growing in the back of his brain.
After 40 minutes of memetic exposure the subject was observed to become more agitated. The subject told that when he closed his eyes he saw several blurry humanoid figures in a bright window. Figures were aware of the subject, but in a general sense and ignored the subjects presence. Dr. Kohl instructed subject to keep his eyes closed and keep talking.
On 60 minute mark security leader informed Dr. Kohl they had reached maximum safe timeframe.
After 75 minutes the subject was vivid and fearful. One of the figures had stopped and was gazing through the window, as if searching something. Dr. ██████ informed Dr. Kohl that they had reached the maximum recorded exposure and to continue the test was dangerous. Dr. Kohl ignored this and continued the test.
After 80 minutes the subject was in a state of shock. More figures had stopped and now they all were searching something through the window. The subject stated that they were searching him and it was only a matter of time before he was found.
After 81 minutes the subject screamed in terror and Dr. Kohl terminated the subject immediately.
Test was deemed a partial success by Dr. Kohl and requested a second test to be made to further the knowledge of extradimensional entities. Request was denied by O5-█. All information of the incident was expunged from the general directionary and sealed behind increased security clearance.
Dr. Kohl: "But we were so close!"
O5-█: "Yes, too close."
