Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard anomalous item containment unit on site-XX with a filing cabinet adjacent to its unit. Testing of SCP-XXXX may be performed at digression of site staff, researchers checking the item out of containment merely required to fill out a check out sheet and file any test results in the provided file cabinet.

SCP-XXXX-1 is to be neutralized at the earliest possibility, until such time being locked within its containment unit with a biometric scanner keyed to the site director. All testing involving SCP-XXXX-1 is suspended indefinitely, unless approved by both the lead researcher and the site-xx director, and must be for the sole purpose of either:

A: Discovering a means of destroying SCP-XXXX-1

B: Discovering a means of neutralizing the effects of SCP-XXXX-2

Failure to comply, or any attempt to replicate XXXX-1, will be met with disciplinary measures including demotion up to termination.

Those infected by SCP-XXXX-2 are to be monitored until either the infection has neutralized itself, or until termination is required. Stage One subjects are to be monitored and catalogued, and an agent is to attempt contact with the subject through civilian means such as forums, chat rooms, or online games. Agent is not to view any content sent to them by subject, but must appear simply disinterested, and steer the conversation towards Foundation approved media or fan-bases, as listed in article-XXXX-1. Article will be updated regularly to maintain viability.

Once a subject has proceeded to stage two, or a stage two subject has been discovered, Immediate application of Class B amnesties is required. Any discovered media depicting or referencing SCP-XXXX-3 or XXXX-3 is to be destroyed and replaced with media depicting foundation approved media.

In the event of a Stage 3 infection being discovered, MTF Iota-7 “Troll feeders” are to move in and terminate all individuals within a stage 3 infection zone. All media created by these subjects are to be destroyed, even if depicting foundation approved media. Casualties are to be explained as either having occurred due to a cult committing suicide, viral infection, or terrorist attack. Appropriate measures to add legitimacy to these cover stories are to be decided by the lead researcher of SCP-XXXX and reviewed by the ethics committee.

After stage 3 subjects have been neutralized, surrounding settlements (Villages, towns, cities, etc) are to be thoroughly investigates and purged of all possible XXXX-2 infection vectors.

Foundation automated programs are to continuously monitor the internet for XXXX-2 media, focusing on fandom focused sites, art blogs, writing sites, or social media platforms commonly used by individuals between the ages of 12-24. Any media discovered is to be destroyed, replaced with samples of Foundation approved media, and the creators of the infection vector being marked as a possible infected individual.

Efforts to discover and destroy all copies of SCP-XXXX-1 and those who are distributing it are an Alpha priority. Joint operations with the GOC (Global Occult Coalition) are under review and pending approval.

Description: —SCP-XXXX is a disk measuring 120 mm (4.75 inch) in diameter and 1.2 mm (0.05 inch) thick, with a circular section measuring 15mm (0.59 inch) in diameter cut out. It is made of a glossy material, and though able to bend slightly, is incapable of breaking. Object was discovered within an Egyptian tomb on 08/17/1895 by an archeologist from the British Archeological Association during a private expedition. Foundation agents procured the object in 1918 when it was determined the material of the disc showed anomalous durability after it had survived an artillery strike from German forces. —

The object has shown the ability to survive extreme temperatures, contact with acids, gun fire, and explosive ordinance. Curiously, when struck with enough blunt force, the disc will release a sound reported to be that of a young woman humming. Personnel report feeling soothed by the humming, but note that the effort necessary to generate the sound outweighs the benefit it provides.

SCP-XXXX-1 is a Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) of unknown origin, and functions like any other disc of its format. When played by any standard DVD player, a period of ten minutes of static will play, after which a main menu depicting SCP-XXXX-3, a female character with blue hair, orange eyes, and grey skin wearing what appears to be a jump suit designed to look futuristic leaning on a title card reading "- vs. The world!".

It contains 4 options:

1: "Select Episode" Leads to a list of Thirteen, twenty-one minute episodes.

2: "Special features" leads to another menu that allows the user to select "- sing-a-long", "The making of…", "Fanart gallery", and "Thank you letter". All options, except the "Thank you letter" option, leads to varying lengths of static for anywhere between 20 minutes to 6 hours. When the "Thank you letter" option is selected, a list of names of over 20,000 names scrolls over the screen, with message at the end reading "Thank you for your support, we couldn't have made this without all of your help". Thus far, no name on the list has matched any person, living or dead, in any accessible record.

3. "Settings" leads to a menu that allows the user to select subtitles, audio language, and the option the play the episodes on loop. Languages included in both audio and subtitle selection are "English, german, East Korean, Sarkic, Daevite…" and 12 further selections with unreadable text and one shown as a picture of five stars.

4: "Select Episode Already!" Leads to the same list as number one, though the animated character on the main menu changes to an impatient expression.
