Item #:SCP-XXXX

Object Class:Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a soundproof locker at all times at site-██, access is only permitted by clearance level 2 or higher personel.

Description:SCP-XXXX is a black, leather bound notebook, approximately 29 x 22 x 2 centimeters, full of 625 sheets of blank paper, of which 6 have been filled. The notebook’s anomalous effects have been shown to not activate unless a sentient being is within a radius of 100 meters. If multiple subjects are within its range,SCP-XXXX’s anomalous effects will be targeted towards the nearest sentient being capable of vocalization. When within this range, Any vocalization made by the targeted subjects will cause SCP-XXXX to flip open to the first available page and begin generating text onto the surface of it's page. Soundproofing SCP-XXXX prevents its effects (further testing is required to understand how or why this occurs.) recorded dialogue in SCP-XXXX has the effect of appearing to be written in the viewing subjects primary language. Continuous exposure to SCP-XXXX has been confirmed to cause the affected subject to forget they had spoken to an individual within the effective range of SCP-XXXX, and after increasing amounts of exposure subject will cease use of their vocal chords altogether.
While observed to be non-sentient at first, testing has revealed that queries directed towards SCP-XXXX will cause it to manifest information, and has been confirmed to be sentient. Thermal analysis on a live feed of SCP-XXXX has found that when opened, an unidentified orb appears, suspended above the current page as it begins to rapidly convulse. Further Analysis required.

Addendum: SCP-XXXX was found in locker ██ in 20██, belonging to the late Dr. Austin Howard, with no record of it ever being brought into the foundation previously; A list of known effects was taped to the front, but was removed. The first page appears to have been torn out, and is still currently unaccounted for.
