The following information is about an anomalous artifact with Class-3 memetic capabilities. Due to the possible usefulness of the object's effects, methods of converting its effects into benefits are being investigated.
XXXX
ITEM #:
XXXX
CONTAINMENT CLASS:
SAFE
THREAT LEVEL:
BLUE
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX must remain in a standard containment room, housed at Site-78. The object should be on a 1 meter concrete pillar, on which it should be resting. In the event that SCP-XXXX is to be experimented on, all personnel entering to remove SCP-XXXX from its containment room must put on an armored helmet with a memetic hazard filter visor and transport it in a container with a lid with a sealing lid.
After completion of the tests, a memetic hazard cleanup should be performed in the area where the tests were conducted. In case of accidental exposure, the affected personnel should be taken to the psychological medical treatment wing of Site-78.
Description: SC P-XXXX is a glass mirror holder with a rotating system, and a small button on its base. The structure that holds the mirror is made from cast bronze. There is no company or manufacturer's mark on it.
Internally, SCP-XXXX has an anomalous mechanism that induces a memetic effect by a light coming out of the mirror glass when a button on one side of the mirror is pressed. The light will affect any intelligent individual when the projected light is projected into their eyes, inducing the memetic effect to the subject. Each effect varies for each individual on whom the artifact is tested.
The following are the mechanical parts contained in the device and their operation after pressing the button:
- Copper wires. After the button is pressed, a wave of electrical energy will travel through the wires until it reaches the next part. The mechanism by which the wave is created after pressing the button has not been found. All the copper wires connect from the button to the mirror.
- A pink sphere of an unknown metallic material in the middle of the inside of the base that holds the mirror. When the wave Arriving at the sphere, the wave modifies to a type of anomalous energy wave that travels through all the wires until it reaches the mirror, to expand through the reflective glass. The mirror will then shine a cutting light that reaches a distance of 20 meters and covers an area of 6 meters.
When the light produced by the mirror is projected onto an individual's eyes, it will filter a type of Memetic Agent that varies in initial and subsequent effects. SCP-XXXX was recovered in an abandoned house in Brest, France, by agent Charls Picard after receiving a report of an alleged "ritual site". After raiding the area with two other agents, ritualistic items were found for apparent "research" purposes. A book was found containing information on different types of effects of various memetic agents, which were later found to be related to SCP-XXXX.
The device was accidentally activated by Agent Macbay, one of the agents who recovered SCP-XXXX. Agent Macbay suffered an intense headache and dizziness due to a type of memetic agent leaked by the object. Macbay was treated at Site-78, where he received treatment. SCP-XXXXXX has since been placed in containment.
Addendum A: The following are excerpts from the pages of the book obtained in Brest. After the book was obtained, no individual or group of individuals were observed to be present after that, so it is speculated that the occult research was abandoned at some point.
Page Number: 023.
Type of Element: Extremely dangerous brain disruptor.
Relation: Arcane message.
Description: The shape of the brain disruptor is that of a pattern in lines enclosed in a circle, as I was able to observe on the last test subject who suffered from it. We have only seen it about three times, and in one case Brother Joseph was accidentally infected with it. He could not survive. The message from this disruptor from what I have seen, appears to be words in a dead language, or something similar.
The disruptor seems to be trying to let those it infects know of that message, as if it is a regret that must be taken away by telling anyone. But when they end up dead it has that heavy burden again, and its pattern of lines in a circle gets messier and messier each time. For now we don't have a relationship between this disruptor and any specific type of entity, but when we do we will let William know.
Symptoms During and After: The effects during the period of the disruptor's stay, approximately 2 hours (according to me) cause first of all a state of blindness during the first hour. The next effects are a headache, which generates extreme amounts of pain, described in the three experiences of the only three subjects who were infected by it as a "melting of the brain".
This is caused because the disruptor connects in a crude and damaging way to the individual's consciousness, piercing primarily their memory processing all the way to the center of consciousness. Because of this it slowly damages different parts of the brain physically, causing a slow descent into memory malfunction, unconsciousness and finally brain shutdown, culminating in death.
