Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid Keter Akousios¹

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be held at Provisional Site-XX. Under no circumstances are personnel to enter SCP-XXXX’s containment area, with the exception of D-Class cleaning crews and test personnel interviewing and/or testing SCP-XXXX. All personnel wishing to interact with SCP-XXXX must first undergo the Standardized Cognitohazard Resistance test, and score no less than 30 SCRs. All personnel wishing to interact with SCP-XXXX must first undergo the Standardized Cognitohazard Resistance test and score no more than 30 SCRs. Under no circumstances are any female personnel, D-Class or otherwise, to be allowed into Provisional Site-XX.

Foundation MTF-Epsilon 24 ("Rip the Jack") are to keep a watch for instances of SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-2 instances are to be administered Class-A amnestics terminated on sight. SCP-XXXX itself is to be held at Provisional Site-XX. At least 20 armed guards are to patrol Site-XX. No persons, Foundation or otherwise, are to be allowed entry into Site-XX. GoI agents attempting to enter are to be briefed on the properties of SCP-XXXX and escorted out. Non-compliance will result in termination. The Department of Memetics is to focus their efforts on developing counter-memes to limit the spread of SCP-XXXX-3. The Department of Memetics is to focus their efforts on developing innoculation for SCP-XXXX-3 for those remaining. Failure to contain SCP-XXXX-3 and SCP-XXXX-2 will very likely result in an SK-Class "Dominance Shift" scenario.

Description: SCP-XXXX is the deceased body of [REDACTED], more commonly known as “Jack the Ripper”. SCP-XXXX does not appear to decay but secretes a hormone that causes a mild compulsion effect in all females tested. In addition to this, SCP-XXXX also causes a cognitohazardous effect that has the same effect, in which females are attracted to SCP-XXXX.

In addition, SCP-XXXX appears to be sentient and is capable of communication. SCP-XXXX communicates through telepathy. SCP-XXXX also has a secondary mild cognitohazardous effect in which all humans interacting with SCP-XXXX for a period longer than 10 minutes will cause the subject to ignore all commands until it is at least 50 meters away from it. This effect does not affect people with an SCR score higher than 30.

When females are brought into the vicinity of SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX will [REDACTED], resulting in the subject's death.

Test #1:
Subject: D-1235
Gender: Female
SCR Score: [REDACTED]
Command: D-1235 was ordered to enter the containment zone of SCP-XXXX. D-1235 reported a compulsion to go in the direction of the containment zone when being brought in for testing.
Results: [DATA EXPUNGED]

Test #2:
Subject: D-12492
Gender: Male
SCR Score: 15
Command: D-12492 was ordered to stay in the containment zone of SCP-XXXX for as long as possible.
Results: D-12492 left the containment zone after 10 minutes. Subject ignored all orders to stay in the containment zone. The subject was detained and the test was terminated.

Test #3:
Subject: D-2142
Gender: Male
SCR Score: 32
Command: D-2142 was ordered to stay in the containment zone of SCP-XXXX for as long as possible.
Results: D-2142 stayed in the containment zone after 10 minutes. When observed, D-2142 was observed to be undergoing a transformation process, the final transformation newly designated SCP-XXXX-N.
Notes: “SCP-XXXX-N appears to be a regular, non-anomalous female. D-2142 will be transferred to a different project. Containment procedures updated.” -Dr. Akemi

Test #4:
Subject: D-3943
Gender: Male
SCR Score: N/A
Command: D-3943 was ordered to attempt to give SCP-XXXX the Standardized Cognitohazard Resistance test to try and see SCP-XXXX's SCR score.
Results: SCP-XXXX reluctantly took the test, and came back with a score of [REDACTED- See addendum XXXX-2].

Interview Log XXXX-1:
Interviewer: D-5432, SCR Score of 18
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

D-5432: Hey, uh, [D-5432 checks paper] SCP-XXXX. I’m supposed to ask you a few questions. That good with you?

SCP-XXXX: It’s fine. I’ve got nothing better to do.

D-5432: Ok, so first question: What’s your name?

SCP-XXXX: *Scribbles*², but people in your universe call me Jack the Ripper.

D-5432: What do you mean, “your universe”?

SCP-XXXX: What do you mean when you say that you’re from West Virginia and grew up in an abusive household?

D-5432: How do you know about that? I never told anyone.

SCP-XXXX: You never told anyone? So then I suppose that you aren’t someone?

D-5432: *Silence*

SCP-XXXX: I see I've struck a nerve. Tell me. Are you content with how it is now? Dealing with us abnormalities for the "lab coats"?

D-5432: *Silence*

SCP-XXXX: Is this truly the life you want to live? Regretting your past, and dreading your future?

D-5432: I-if sh-she hadn't come when she did…

At this point, D-5432 stopped transcribing the conversation. Camera footage showed a known memetic hazard manifesting on the wall behind SCP-XXXX, which caused D-5432 to [REDACTED]. D Class personnel were deemed too mentally unstable to converse with SCP-XXXX and Junior
Researcher Stan was brought in.

Interview Log XXXX-2:
Interviewer: Junior Researcher Stan, SCR Score of 29
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Stan: Hello, SCP-XXXX.

SCP-XXXX: Hello, Stanley. How are you doing?

Stan: I'm fine. I need to ask you a few questions.

SCP-XXXX: Ask away.

Stan: Could you please explain how you got here?

SCP-XXXX: Of course I could. But what you should be asking is should I tell you how I got here.

Stan: SCP-XXXX, please cooperate and answer the question.

SCP-XXXX: Very well. I took a train, and then I walked here. Simple as that.

Stan: Thank you. Now, tell me: Can you explain to me your anomalous capabilities?

SCP-XXXX: I don’t know. Could you explain how the multiverse works? Why there are so many things you can’t explain? The universe craves the unexplainable. Things that break its laws. Just like your society needs people that break its laws, to be judged for their actions. By locking them up and studying them, you are doing exactly what the universe wants. But just like your society, the more you judge, the more people are compelled to break the laws. So in a way, your organization is the source of it all.

Stan: So what you're saying is by locking in all these anomalies, we're sentencing them to the universal equivalent of jail?

SCP-XXXX: You learn fast.

Stan: Well, I don't want to learn too much from you. Not at once anyways. We know what you do with the females.

SCP-XXXX: Ah yes, the intellectuals.

Stan: Could you please elaborate?

SCP-XXXX: There are two people in this world. Ones who know, and ones who do not. All of these people you call "females" know. They have more knowledge. Some of you "males" also know, and you see what I do with them. It takes me 10 of your minutes to see if the "male" knows, and if they do, I give them the form they need for me to give them the information. You have seen this in progress, yes?

Stan: If by that you mean transforming them into females, then yes. We have observed this effect before. Your "form change" seems to only affect people with an SCR score higher than 30. Could you please explain?

SCP-XXXX: It seems you have figured this much out, haven't you? What you call "cognitohazards" are simply information. Information your brain can't handle.

Stan: Yes, we know that. That's how we create our Berryman-Langford memetic kill agents.³ What we want to know is what you give to them. The "knowledge", as you say.

SCP-XXXX: Well then, it seems that you are more knowledgeable than I thought. So far I have been unable to find a vessel capable to withstand the information. It is the wishes of my race in a universe so far away to find one capable of withstanding this information. The one capable of reviving our kind. It has been 10 minutes, and I can see that you do not have the required intellect. Begone. Or, as you say, this interview is terminated.

Junior Researcher Stan then exited the containment area of SCP-XXXX. By the order of the overseeing O5, all females on-site have been tested, including D-Class. All returned with a score higher than 30 SCRs. Dr. Akemi returned with a record score of 3000 SCRs, exceeding SCP-XXXX's score of 2000 SCRs.

Interview Log XXXX-3:
Interviewer: Senior Researcher Dr. Akemi
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

NOTE:* Dr. Akemi was given an Information Transmitter Device, in case information overflow occurs. This will allow her to instantaneously transmit the information that SCP-XXXX provides into the Foundation database.

Dr. Akemi: Hello, SCP-XXXX.

SCP-XXXX: Ah, it seems they finally provided me with an appropriate vessel. I was beginning to wonder when they would give in.

Dr. Akemi: No, I'm here for the same purpose that Stan was here for a few days ago. Surely you remember that?

SCP-XXXX: Oh yes, Stanley. A fine young man. Too bad he wasn't a good vessel. I assume you're here to interview me?

Dr. Akemi: Yes, that is correct. Shall I begin?

SCP-XXXX: Go ahead. My only condition is that you will become a vessel at the end. You seem perfect.

Dr. Akemi: Let me ask my superiors.

Command: Go ahead. This will allow us to gain more insight. When it starts giving you information, transmit it to us with that device so your brain doesn't overflow.

Dr. Akemi: Got it. Command says to go ahead.

SCP-XXXX: Wonderful.

Dr. Akemi: First question then. When you were conversing with D-5432, you avoided the question about where you're from. Can you please answer this now?

SCP-XXXX: Of course. I come from a different universe than you. A different race, too. I'm not human, but I'm sure you've figured that out by now.

Dr. Akemi: Please continue.

SCP-XXXX: My race doesn't- or rather, didn't have genders. We were all uniform. We communicated telepathically, only using our voices in formal situations. We reproduced using information. A certain string of bits of data, that when perceived by someone with enough intellect, they become one of us. Thus, we had to invade other planets to find species worthy enough to become one of us. There was no doubt then, that one day we would bite off more than we could chew, and a race defeated us. We were hunted to near extinction. I was sent here, to your universe, to find a planet and populate it.

Dr. Akemi: So your kind went extinct, and they sent you here to repopulate? And your goal now is to find people who can handle the informational string. But wouldn't that still not work, as even if someone becomes one of you, they can't pass it on without finding someone worthy themselves?

SCP-XXXX: Now that is correct, most of it at least. When one of us transmits to one of a race, that transformed can spread it to other members of the same race. So if there's even one worthy human on this planet, they can spread it to others. However, when I came to this planet, what I found was that my information didn't work on those you call "males". I realized that there are some still worthy among them, so I used my power to turn them into the form that is capable to receive it.

Dr. Akemi: So, would other humans be able to turn males into your kind?

SCP-XXXX: Theoretically so.

Dr. Akemi: Next question then. You are [REDACTED], yes?

SCP-XXXX: That is correct.

Dr. Akemi: What was your motivation for killing all those innocents?

SCP-XXXX: Well, those were the ones with the highest intellect I could find. Top of the class. however, as shown by them dying, they didn't seem to be good enough.

Dr. Akemi: Well, SCP-XXXX, that is all. You may begin the "information transfer".

[FURTHER INFORMATION REDACTED BY ORDER OF THE O5 COUNCIL. REFER TO ADDENDUM XXXX-4.]

Addendum XXXX-4

+ Revised SCP-XXXX Description-Level 5 Clearance Required

Description: SCP-XXXX is the deceased body of [REDACTED], more commonly known as “Jack the Ripper”. SCP-XXXX does not appear to decay and does not emit the odor that would usually result from a corpse, but instead secretes a hormone that causes a mild compulsion effect in all females tested. In addition to this, SCP-XXXX also causes a cognitohazardous effect that has the same effect, in which females are attracted to SCP-XXXX.

In addition, SCP-XXXX appears to be sentient and is capable of communication. SCP-XXXX communicates through anomalous means, and only one person is able to hear SCP-XXXX, regardless of the number of people present. Subjects report hearing the voice of SCP-XXXX all around them at the same time, however, Foundation sound detectors have proved unsuccessful in pinpointing the source of the sound. SCP-XXXX also has a secondary mild cognitohazardous effect in which all humans interacting with SCP-XXXX for a period longer than 10 minutes will cause the subject to ignore all commands until said they are at least 50 meters away from SCP-XXXX. This effect does not affect people with an SCR score higher than 30.

When females are brought into the vicinity of SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX will attempt to reproduce, usually resulting in the subject's death.

When male subjects with an SCR score higher than 30 stays for a period longer than 10 minutes, they will undergo a transformation into SCP-XXXX-N, which is a non-anomalous female.

SCP-XXXX-2 is the race of SCP-XXXX. Subjects are turned into SCP-XXXX-2 when other instances of SCP-XXXX-2 share a certain infohazard with non-anomalous humans. Instances also report a strong urge to share SCP-XXXX-3.

SCP-XXXX-3 is the infohazard shared by SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-2 instances. SCP-XXXX-3 causes other humans to undergo a transformation into another instance of SCP-XXXX-2. Containment of the spread of SCP-XXXX-3 is of utmost importance. Transformation into SCP-XXXX-2 does not appear to affect the individual's memories, personalities, or mentalities, and only gives the subject the desire to transmit SCP-XXXX-3. SCP-XXXX-3 consists of [DATA EXPUNGED].

The spread of SCP-XXXX-3 began during an interview conducted between SCP-XXXX and former Senior Researcher Dr. Akemi, now SCP-XXXX-2-α. SCP-XXXX was given permission to communicate SCP-XXXX-3, which caused a containment breach of SCP-XXXX-2 and -3. Current status of SCP-XXXX-2-α is unknown.

Audio log from Junior Researcher Stan:

<Begin Log>

I'm the last one. There's no one left. Everyone else is either dead or an instance of -2. I don't think I have much longer. In case there are any survivors of this containment breach, I am deactivating the memetic kill agent, expunging the -3 using an algorithm to avoid exposure, and declassifying this file. I will continue my research into the counter-meme for -3. Whoever finds this, if I hope you can finish my research. All of it is attached to this file. The Foundation still exists, yes, and almost everyone is still alive. But they're either -2 instances, or in hiding. I think they're in hiding. I hope they're in hiding. The SK-Class scenario has occurred. This world is no longer human. Our only hope is this counter-meme. It might be my only hope. Someone, please help.
