SCP-XXXX

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a high-value item vault in Site-19. Dr. Alto Clef must accompany the item while it's not in containment at all times, due to his immunity to the item's effects.

Dr. Alto Clef is the item's designated handler and no other individuals are to come into contact with SCP-XXXX outside of testing.

As of Incident SCP-XXXX-AE1: During testing, all non D-Class personnel must observe type-2 perceptive hazard protocols. Dr. Clef is exempt from this procedure.

Note: SCP-XXXX should not be used outside a testing environment, since the item is very difficult to use safely. - Dr. █████

Description: SCP-XXXX is a 1980 vintage polaroid camera found in Joseph Stalin's desk immediately after his death in 1953 by an undercover GOC agent, who was detained by foundation personnel in Warsaw while they were attempting to transport the item to the GOC west Berlin office.

When SCP-XXXX is used and subsequently captures a photo of the facial features of any individual within its line of sight, the captured individual immediately disappears from reality. Additionally, any first-hand written accounts, images, or memories of affected individuals will either disappear or be heavily censored and redacted. However, any second-hand written accounts, images1, or memories2, are unaffected by the item.

Addendum: Incident SCP-XXXX-AE1

On the 9th of September 1982, a testing incident resulted in a reflective surface in the testing room spreading SCP-XXXX's effects to researchers and support staff, including Dr. █████ who was overseeing the test.

Due to much of the information pertaining to SCP-XXXX at the time having been written by Dr. █████, information on SCP-XXXX's nature was temporarily lost, and the item was mistaken for a visually similar item in the possession of Dr. ██████████ at the time. The Doctor subsequently left the site on long leave.

Dr. ██████████ proceeded to unknowingly use SCP-XXXX in a crowded population center, killing at least 31 individuals. Dr. ██████████ was the subject of an Article AF hearing, and was tried for negligence of duty, and 31 accounts of manslaughter. More details on their trial are available3. They were found innocent and given mandatory leave and 6 months of phycological evaluation.

Dr. ██████████ committed suicide 4 days after the trial.
