SCP-XXXX

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a locked metal box at all times (unless being tested with). It is to be contained in a secure holding cell at Site-██. It is necessary that the key holding SCP-XXXX must be held by a Level-4 Overseer or higher.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a Mr. Bean cassette tape with unknown origins. SCP-XXXX’s appearance looks like any other cassette tape, other than it is unable to be broken/damaged. There are exactly 50 copies of SCP-XXXX that all contain the same properties. It measures 4 by 2.5 by 0.5 inches.

If SCP-XXXX is put into a cassette player at any time it will no longer be able to be ejected. SCP-XXXX instantly breaks the player despite the age or use, causing the player to have to be torn apart to get back SCP-XXXX.

Once put in the cassette player SCP-XXXX immediately plays if television is attached to it. The anomalous properties begin around two minutes into the show in which the viewer of the show will begin to feel nausea, despite not feeling sick. Within four minutes the viewer begins to form a headache. Five minutes later brings slight confusion and memory loss. Around ten minutes the viewer then proceed to vomit. If they are still watching at fourteen minutes the viewer will pass out.

After the viewer wakes up they will no longer remember the show, but will be left very confused and will proceed in this state for the next seven days. If the viewer decides to eject the cassette tape, it will stay inside and break the cassette player.

SCP-XXXX was found in a yardsale in a dusty garage in Denver, Colorado. The homeowner never knew of the existence of SCP-XXXX buying/owning the Mr. bean cassette tape and decided to sell it. A family of four watched the tape as they all started feeling sick. They all vomited and continued to pass out. Luckily their grandmother was coming over and saw them all passed-out. She then called the paramedics to help the family. Many officials got word of this and got in contact with SCP. They then brought the tape into the facility on ██/██/████.
