SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a secure locker lined with lead, to prevent radiation leakage. All experimentation of SCP-XXXX is prohibited unless approved by the Site-Director. SCP-XXXX is to be handled with standard protective radiation equipment, during transport, examination, and/or experimentation.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a ceramic neck-amphora vase over 2,500 years old. SCP-XXXX was approximately created in 450 B.C. Weighing 6.9 kg, the vase is 0.9 M tall with an opening diameter of 25 cm. It is constructed of ceramic clay and traces of soft metals, with painted Greek stencils around the neck and foot of the vase.
Inscribed around the midsection is a story of Greek folklore. This story involves a gathering of various Greek gods and mythological creatures, including Hermes, Artemis, Apollo, Leto, Dionysus, and a satyr.. It has been difficult in deciphering the meaning of the story, as the vase's midsection has become obscured with various unrelated depictions. SCP-XXXX causes the dissipation of any object/organism that enters its interior chamber below the neck of the vase. A detailed illustration of the inserted item perpetually appears on the surface of the vase's exterior. Most added details are not discernible from the original inscription, except for a few nonsensical items previously placed in its interior.
Anomalous activity was reported after Foundation members who recovered the item lost multiple radio/microwave instruments, intended to measure for signs of emissions. There was no apparent limit to the amount or type of items inscribed in the vase, as a result, over the years the exterior of SCP-XXXX has become obscured with items placed inside, including food, weapons, toys, extremities, et cetera.
SCP-XXXX's interior reveals a "soft green glow". The glowing presence is permanently attached to the inner ring of the bottom of the vase and is not capable of being extracted. The object emits 300 mRem or 3 mSv/hr, equivalent to a year's worth of ordinary natural radiation in approximately an hour, on average.
History: Historical records found near the discovery site of SCP-XXXX indicate the vase is a legend based on superstition and celestial power. The vase is part of a set of five decorative items sent from the Greek goddess Athena, to her patron city of Athens. The other items in the set, most likely pottery, have not been located. See Article Update 1/19
SCP-XXXX was obtained by the Spartans during the Peloponnesian War, after the battle of Aegospotami. The Spartans discovered the anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX when a man lost his arm after he stuck it in the vase. The Spartans recognized the capability of SCP-XXXX and sealed the vase in a storage tunnel near the city of Sparta. SCP-XXXX would remain hidden for over 2,500 years.
SCP-XXXX was neutralized July, 18th, 1983 after being incorrectly packaged and shipped to Area-179. The shipment was delayed several times after severe weather warnings canceled transportation of SCP-XXXX. MTF Epsilon-6 ("Village Idiots") led the response and were instructed to rush the packing procedure during a small window of clear weather, resulting in the destruction of SCP-XXXX during transportation. The vase has broken into several large pieces, the inexplicable green radiance is no longer present, and all radioactivity has ceased to emit from the vase. Despite no longer presenting anomalous activity the Foundation decided to preserve the remnants in storage, in hopes of use as a reference for any future discoveries.
NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
As of September 21, 2018, a request to reopen SCP-XXXX's file has been approved by the Director of Area-179. In a re-examination of terminated Foundation property, Dr. Maron of Area-179 has noted the possibility of reconstructing SCP-XXXX, in light of modern technology. Using Foundation equipment on-site, Dr. Maron has deduced a method to re-configure the item using a combination of heated plastic and soft metal. This acts as an adhesive between broken shards of the item. Assuming SCP-XXXX requires a source of radiation, Dr. Maron has been granted permission, at his own expense, to test 0.25 kg of four radioactive isotopes including Pu-238, Cs-137, Cf-252, and Am-241.

Article Update: 10/5/2018
I have successfully restored SCP-XXXX to a visual replica of the original item. No immediate effects were observed after reassembling the item. Dr. Maron will be supervising a test using multiple radioactive isotopes, in an attempt to stimulate any remaining anomalous parameters correlating with SCP-XXXX.

Article Update: 11/25/2018
As of November 25, 2018, SCP-XXXX has been successfully restored to its original state of matter before it was destroyed in 1983. Dr. Maron will continue to experiment with uses for SCP-XXXX, including other effects, when paired with individual types of radioactive isotopes. It is still unknown as to whether or not Cm-252 establishes any effect related to SCP-XXXX.
Article Update: 01/02/2019
As of January 2, 2019, Dr. Maron has received documentation from an unknown source, that cites the location(s) of the remaining, possible, anomalous items in the set of five. This particular documentation comes in the form of a riddle.
Translated parchment:
Beyond this quandary you seek to find
Athena's riches new and old
The journey seeks a life to bind
Those who travel be clever and bold
Begin it where the sun does set
And past the river, canyon down
Where caves are dark and bones are wet
You win the day, treasure found
Photograph of above parchment
Dr. Maron's Note: I don't care if I get in trouble for communicating about my work outside the facility. I was able to dig a little further, and I obtained this parchment describing the possible location of the remaining items in SCP-XXXX's set. I am prepared to do quite a load more of digging, quite literally. I will send a request to my superiors to possibly scrape up a search and recovery team, assuming I can bring more evidence than a hunch, and not get fired.
My plan is to bring together as many people as I can get my hands on. I will be studying the geography of Greece for the next few months, most likely. Hopefully, I can narrow this down to a couple of options, tracing the rivers, to canyons, to caves, and to the apparent location of Athena's pottery fetish. This will be difficult, as I am no geographer.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Files/transmissions from instances of SCP-XXXX are to be terminated upon identification by Foundation web-crawlers, monitoring Shitpost forums e.g.
- Tumblr
- fourCHAN
- terohurko.com
- Reddit
Concluding deletion of files and/or transmissions created by instances of SCP-XXXX (Codenamed NASAsp.scpl, NASAsp for short), MTF Kappa-10 ("Skynet") is authorized to dispatch created instances of SCP-XXXX immediately. Under circumstances following SCP-XXXX is unable to be manually terminated from the residing Shitpost forum, MTF K-10 is authorized to deploy AIAD asset alexandra.aic under reasonable means to terminate instances of SCP-XXXX occupying current forum.
Description: SCP-XXXX attributes to the promotion of an online presence designating itself "NASA.shitpost". SCP-XXXX creates interweb accounts designed to upload and distribute memetic agents disguised as visual publications, referred to as "memes", in video and photo format. These "memes" are intended to bring joy or pleasure in the form of inflated hyperboles, irony, or metaphors/implications designed to be directed and understood specifically by Millenials or members of Generation Z. Common themes among publications created by SCP-XXXX include:
- Outrageous or overdramatic situations
- Comparisons to levels of status within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
- Ironic conditions instigating reason for celebration or sarcastic pleas for death.
Content uploaded by SCP-XXXX may pose several different outcomes depending on the "meme" that is posted. When viewing an extreme or overdramatic situation, typically in video format, impulsive behavior is instilled in the viewer to act in that manner, if other people are nearby, the original viewer also feels compelled to present that related "meme" to express an emotion they cannot control. When viewing an ironic situation, more specifically, one that incites celebration or despair, the viewer also retains that emotion, but in extreme measures. Feelings of celebration often become uncontrollable joy, feelings of stress or depression become legitimate pleas for death.
Date of Occurrence: March 20th, 2020
Location: ██████████
Fatalities/Injuries: 1
Description: Researcher Commodus ended his shift at 11 pm on March 13th, while taking leave in his office, he approached a popular subreddit on his laptop, "NASA-Shitpost", R. Commodus developed a small addiction to the subreddit which, in turn, lead to his death a week later.
R. Commodus was found dead in his office at 5 am on March 20th. Cause of death has been ruled a suicide. Foundation web-crawlers surveyed R. Commodus's laptop and discovered almost 2 Gigabytes of memetic material in a hidden folder. All of which originated from the subreddit "NASA-Shitpost". The subreddit is under investigation and R. Commodus's laptop has been confiscated for research purposes.

Date of Occurrence: June 26th, 2020
Location: ██████████
Fatalities/Injuries: N/A
Description: Two janitorial employees overheard the incident involving Researcher Commodus, and found it responsible to investigate the subreddit, "NASA-Shitpost". The two men discovered another source of SCP-XXXX's after MTF K-10 successfully removed the "NASA-Shitpost" subreddit from the internet. Under the same title, "NASA-Shitpost", another blog was created on Tumblr, which is what the two men discovered. They searched through a small number of "memes" before being caught by the shift supervisor, when he heard their over-reactive joy from down the hallway. The photo attached is what they discovered.
Date of Occurrence: August 15th, 2020
Location: ██████████
Fatalities/Injuries: 3/3
Description: After the incident in June, the two janitorial employees were required to participate in mental health evaluations and were placed on administrative leave. During the month of August, 6 more employees were discovered investigating "NASA-Shitpost". 3 of which, became addicted to the influx of emotions that surge through the brain while browsing "memes", causing severe stress and anxiety resulting in extreme psychological trauma, causing the death of 3 of the 6 Foundation employees. The other 3 employees received minor brain damage and were administered Class C Amnestics.
