Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently uncontained. Research into the phenomenon is ongoing, and containment procedures will be updated once more is understood.
Update: As of ██/██/20██ (see addendum), MTF-Φ-14 "Sink or Swim" will be on standby stationed around prominent bodies of water in the city of ███████ to neutralise any SCP-XXXX-1 manifestation.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a compulsion affecting roughly 0.0█% of the population of the coastal city ███████, England (these subjects will henceforth be designated SCP-XXXX-1). Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 express an interest in performance arts from a very young age, especially when paired with swimming and underwater performance.
Once SCP-XXXX-1 reaches ██ years old, they will experience a sudden compulsion to run to the nearest large body of water, and dive in. Once submerged, they will assume a pose, and stay in this state for roughly █ days. This almost always results in the death of the subject.
Any SCP-XXXX-1 instances that survive past this event will exhibit extreme aquaphobia, claiming in all recorded cases (4 at time of writing) that "[INFOHAZARD REDACTED BY ORDER OF O5 COUNCIL]".
Addendum: on ██/██/20██, SCP-XXXX-1-890 assumed a cognitohazardous pose, resulting in all staff and swimmers attending the ██████ ██████ swimming centre at the time to experience SCP-XXXX. Every SCP-XXXX-1 subject since this time has assumed the same cognitohazardous pose.
Due to the high quantity of large bodies of water around the aforementioned city, and the public nature of them, swift neutralization of any SCP-XXXX-1 instances is considered top priority for MTF-Φ-14, with preservation of public witness and amnestic distribution coming second. Containment procedures have been updated to reflect this development.
