Picture of SCP-XXXX's head

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard secure humanoid containment cell. The cell must be guarded by at least two armed guards equipped with tasers. Only personnel with level 4 clearance level are allowed to enter SCP-XXXX's containment cell and must take 1 of the armed guards with them into the cell, those who enter are required to wear special suits preventing SCP-XXXX from touching them. The entrance to the containment cell consists of two doors with a small room in between, these doors may only be opened when permitted personnel recquires to go through and must be closed immediately when the personnel member has walked through the door.

In the case of a containment breach, it is of utmost importance that SCP-XXXX does not leave the site and that all sources of information about the foundation, including personnel who know important foundation information, are evacuated from the site as soon as possible.

Description: SCP-XXXX has a human-like figure, its entire body seems to be composed of a material similar to that of a human brain. Its skin also appears very brain-like, showing many folds. Its head has a brain-like shape and it has two glowing eyes and a vertical crease in the middle that it can utilize as some kind of mouth. SCP-XXXX is able to make sounds with its mouth and appears capable of speaking in English and Spanish

If SCP-XXXX touches any object that contains information, it will absorb this information, leaving the object it touches clean from information and adding this information to its own memory. If it touches a piece of paper with a story on it, the paper will become empty and SCP-XXXX is able to recite the story completely. If SCP-XXXX touches a human, the human will forget everything they know, including how to control their own body, resulting in death; SCP-XXXX will then know everything the victim knew including memories that even the victim could not recall anymore.

Recovery: SCP-XXXX was found by the foundation in the Mexican state Chihuahua, just outside the town of ███. After reports from the town of ███ that people had died mysteriously and many books and papers that previously contained words were now blank. The foundation found it necessary to research this and dispatched a team to capture a potential anomalous being. After the team found SCP-XXXX wandering just outside the town they were able to quickly capture it, SCP-XXXX didn’t manage to touch anyone in the process.

Foreword: [Interview right after recovery of SCP-XXXX.]

<Begin Log>

Dr. G: Are you willing to speak to us? Who and what are you?

SCP: I don't know who I am…

Dr. G: What can you tell me about yourself?

SCP: Only that I seek to know.

Dr. G: What do you want to know?

SCP: As much as I can find.

Dr. G: Is that why you killed those people? You wanted to know what they knew?

SCP: I killed them? Killed… killing…?

Dr. G: Are you going to answer my question?

SCP: Yes. I didn't know I would end their lives… their lives are mine now, I know everything they knew… that they felt. What killed them… I see it in the screen before your eyes. It fills me with fear.

Dr. G: That's your reflection.

SCP: Please. It terrifies me, is that me? I feel the fear each on of them felt when they saw that.

Dr. G: Are you afraid of yourself?

SCP: That can't be me… is that what I look like? I've never seen myself before. Now I don't want to see myself again, please take it away.

Dr. G: I'm sorry, but we have more questions.

SCP: I need to think… I don't want more questions… come back later.
Dr. G: Well uhm… as you wish

SCP: Thank you

Closing Statement: [SCP-XXXX appears frightened by its own appearance, it's likely the fear its victims felt before they died have been transmitted to SCP-XXXX along with all of their memories.]

+ Test Logs

Test XXXX-A1

Subject: A piece of paper with the English Alphabet written on it
Procedure: The piece of paper was given to SCP-XXXX
Results: All the letters disappeared from the paper. When SCP-XXXX was asked to say what was on the paper, it recited the contents in the correct order.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX appears to be able to make information disappear from whatever it touches. It's unsure whether he was able to repeat it by reading the paper really quickly beforehand, or it already knew the order of the alphabet.

Test XXXX-A2

Subject: A copy of the script of the tragic play Faust by Goethe.
Procedure: SCP-XXXX was given the booklet without it being opened.
Results: After contact with SCP-XXXX, every page became empty. When asked to repeat what was written in the booklet, SCP-XXXX perfectly recited the play.
Analysis: It appears that SCP-XXXX truly learns by absorbing information, as it seems unlikely it would have known about this story beforehand.

Test XXXX-B1

Subject: A male member of the species Canis lupus familiaris.
Procedure: The animal was put inside SCP-XXXX's containment cell.
Results: SCP-XXXX touched the animal and the animal collapsed. SCP-XXXX was able to tell researchers stuff the animal had seen throughout its life. SCP-XXXX also appeared to sound excited when the animal's favorite toy was shown.
Analysis: As was theorized, SCP-XXXX appears to be capable of absorbing information from living creatures as well. However, it seems to result in the death of whomever it touches. It appears emotions from the creature it touches are transferred as well.
