Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Foundation web crawlers are to scour the world wide web for tags indicating an emergence event of SCP-xxxx. MTF Lambda-66 ("Adblockers") is to be dispatched upon any detected emergence events.

Description: SCP-xxxx refers to a series of randomly distributed email attachments that, upon interaction, lead to a .txt document with distinct memetic effect, hereby referred to as SCP-xxxx-1.

Reading the document begins an emergence event, culminating in a complete erasure of the original personality and replacement with [REDACTED] Depending on the completion percentage, personality replacement will reach varying levels. Incomplete personality replacements will result in an acute form of multiple personality disorder in which [REDACTED] struggles with the original personality for control of the host brain.

Instances of completely replaced hosts are referred to as SCP-xxxx-2. Instances will seek out new subjects to expose to SCP-xxxx-1. The largest emergence event to date resulted in the erasure and insertion of █████ subjects. SCP-xxxx-2 instances are sapient and driven by a need to bring as many [REDACTED] to our dimension as possible. Their endgoal is not currently known.

The employed method of personality replacement seems to be imperfect, as erasure damages and modifies the prefrontal cortex in ██% of cases. Documented effects of this include autocannibalism, self-mutilation, masochistic tendencies, and other self-destructive behaviors. It has been proposed by Dr. ██████ that this results from incomplete erasure of the host personality.

+ Interview XXXX-1 

[> Interviewed: D-9685

Interviewer: Dr. Wolnzach, Senior Researcher - Site-88

Foreword: Subject was exposed to SCP-xxxx-1 and read to 20% completion. The start of exposure was marked by a distinct lack of interest by the subject. By the end of exposure the subject displayed visible disappointment and asked escorting guards,"When do I get to finish?". Frequent fasciculations were observed as the subject was removed from the testing chamber.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Wolnzach: Describe the content of SCP-xxxx-1 to me.

D-9685: What's that?

Dr. Wolnzach: The document you were just reading.

D-9685: Do I get to finish it?

Dr. Wolnzach Yes but first I need to ask you-

D-9685: (Interrupting) You guys really left me on a cliffhanger, my friend told me to read that story a while back and it was just starting to get good. When do I get to finish it? [Unintelligible]

Dr. Wolnzach: Slow down, you're saying the document is written in a narrative fashion?

D-9685: Yeah sure, whatever you want to call it. Can I go back to reading it now?

Dr. Wolnzach: Who is this friend of yours that told you to read SCP-xxxx-1?

(Subject begins to answer, stops, and appears visibly confused for several seconds before response)

D-9685: I've known him my whole life.

Dr. Wolnzach: Who are they?

D-9685: They're [REDACTED]

Dr. Wolnzach: How did [REDACTED] come to know about the document.

(Subject appears visibly agitated, fasciculations become even more frequent and subject begins to dig into own skin with fingernails)

D-9685: (Yelling) I don't [EXPLETIVE REMOVED] know! Let me finish the [EXPLETIVE REMOVED] story and we'll tell you! Then you'll know him too.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: Subject read to 50% completion, fasciculations completely stopped while reading and MRI scans indicate subject entered a state similar to REM sleep upon passing 40% completion. When a Site-88 guard attempted to extract D-9685 from the testing room, subject began screaming incoherently and attacked the security escort. Site Security Officer █████ had both eyes gouged out before Site Security Deputy ███████ terminated the subject.
