Addendum XXXX-1: Discovery Log

SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-B were discovered when Mr. █████ noted the strange, highly emotional behaviours of an actor who was wearing SCP-XXXX and an actress who was wearing SCP-XXXX-B. After Mr. █████ reported the incident, facility personnel were dispatched to the location, established a perimeter around the incident, and were able to successfully remove the masks. The actor and actress maintained the effects of SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-B until approximately 37 seconds after the masks were removed, when the previous effects wore off and they both immediately entered a state of extreme hostility and attempted to gain access to the masks by attacking the transport guards. They were both taken into custody, and a cover-up story for the arrest was fabricated. All civilians who witnessed the incident were dosed with Class-A amnesics and all security footage in the surrounding area was replaced.
