SCP-XXXX ''Servers of Locked Minds''
SCP-XXXX
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Any incidents regarding SCP-XXXX are to be reported to the closest available Foundation Intelligence Agency office immediately.
Four (4) Foundation Intelligence Agency offices have been tasked to locate and search most recently created Discord servers for any instances of SCP-XXXX:
- Tokyo office
- Hamburg office
- Washington DC office
- Cairo office
The Foundation Intelligence Agency office in Tokyo has been assigned the task to locate the source for the instances of SCP-XXXX. Investigations are lead by Dr. ███████. The investigations haven't been yet successful, but several suspects have been suggested.
Victims (referred to as SCP-XXXX-A) of SCP-XXXX are to be carried to the nearest available Foundation Medical Department, until they are no longer in the comatose state caused by SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX-A:s are to be registered Class-B Amnestics once they exit the comatose state, and must be returned immediately to where they were found.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a collective group for Discord servers. The amount of SCP-XXXX:s is unknown, as new instances of SCP-XXXX appear and disappear. Servers seem to last for roughly 2-3 weeks, or until they are shut down by a third party. Currently the estimated amount of these servers is assumed to be around 10-20. Typically these servers tend to have a user base of 20-50 members.
When a user (referred to as SCP-XXXX-A) of the Discord application enters SCP-XXXX, the server will greet them with a message, saying ''Hello! To keep the server more secure, you must wait 10 minutes before you can send any messages in the channels. Please wait, and welcome to the server'' (Interview XXXX-1). The greeting message and the application used for the server are the only things in common between the servers.
After 10 minutes have passed, if SCP-XXXX-A sends a message to any of the channels in SCP-XXXX, they will immediately enter a comatose state (See Test log Test XXXX-A - 1.4.2017). The comatose state will last as long as SCP-XXXX-A's user account remains in the Discord server. If SCP-XXXX-A's user account leaves SCP-XXXX, they will wake up from the coma immediately. Interviews with SCP-XXXX-A:s have concluded that while remaining in SCP-XXXX, they are unable to switch between any applications or Discord servers. Communicating vie messages in SCP-XXXX seems to be the only action that SCP-XXXX-A's consciousness is able to perform (Interview XXXX-1).
People who are witnessing SCP-XXXX-A enter the comatose state are not affected physically.
SCP-XXXX-A's user account is still able to send messages into the server even if SCP-XXXX-A is in a coma. It is suggested that the consciousness of SCP-XXXX-A is somehow transferred into SCP-XXXX, locking them into the server until they leave said server. SCP-XXXX-A's consciousness is unable to feel, taste, smell, see nor hear anything during their time in the comatose state (Interview XXXX-1).
Discovery: The first instance of SCP-XXXX was discovered 23-4-2016 at [REDACTED FOR BREVITY] in Tokyo. The victim of SCP-XXXX was Eiji Fumihiro, who was found in a comatose state by his mother, Kayia Fumihiro in his room. Eiji was transferred via ambulance to St. Luke's Hospital in Tokyo. Subject remained in a coma for 2 weeks, after which the subject woke up in great distress. Subject was talking about his experiences in his coma, and was sent to a psychological re-evaluation. Eiji Fumihiro was confirmed psychologically completely healthy. His experiences were regarded as simple dreaming during his comatose state.
The attention of the Foundation was drawn after 4 similar incidents which happened in [REDACTED FOR BREVITY] during the timespan of 18-6-2016 - 13-2-2017. Interviews concluded that every subject had the same kinds of experiences during their comatose state, talking about what they interpreted as ''having their own thoughts being intruded by some other people's thoughts'' (See Interview XXXX-1). In addition, all the interviewed subjects said that their ''dreams'' ceased immediately upon ''exiting the server''.
The total amount of SCP-XXXX-A:s was 98, that were spread across 19 instances of SCP-XXXX.
Test XXXX-A - 1.4.2017
Setup: A Discord account was set up for D-78946 and D-78946 was ordered to use his client to join a server confirmed to be an instance of SCP-XXXX. The subject was then ordered to send a message to any of the server's channels, and exit the server 20 minutes after sending the message.
Results: D-78946 reported of the greeting message that SCP-XXXX sent. After sending a message to the server, D-78946 entered a comatose state. After 20 minutes, D-78946's Discord account was noticed to exit the server and D-78946 woke up immediately afterwards.
Notes: Further experiments with SCP-XXXX require a written permission from ███ █████, the head director of Site-25. An interview with D-78946 after the experiment concluded that D-78946 experienced the same things that other victims of SCP-XXXX have gone through.
The following is an excerpt from the interview (Document XXXX-2) with D-78946:
(Interviewer: Dr. ███████)
(Translated from Japanese by Dr. █████).
Dr. ███████: What did you experience during the 20 minutes? Did you feel any pain, or comfort?
D-78946: Uhh, hell if I know. I dunno. I didn't really feel stuff. It's like I was… Completely numb.
Dr. ███████: Alright. Did you see smell, or hear anything?
D-78946: Funny you should ask. I seriously didn't see anything, but something went batshit with my mind, I guess.
Dr. ███████: Could you explain, please?
D-78946: It's… Strange. I dunno what happened, it's like… There were other voices in my mind. Like, some of the thoughts weren't mine at all, and I'd know what I think!

Interview XXXX-1 - 4.4.2017
Interviewed subject: Eiji Fumihiro, age 19, [LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED]
Interviewer: Dr. ███████
(Translated from Japanese by Dr. █████).
The interview was held at [REDACTED FOR BREVITY] in Tokyo. Eiji Fumihiro was contacted by the Foundation Intelligence Agency office in Tokyo, after Fumihiro talked about his experiences with other victims of SCP-XXXX. The Foundation found out that Eiji Fumihiro's incident happened long before the incidents that the Foundation was investigating. It is believed that this was the first incident of SCP-XXXX. The interview was presented as a government questioning.
<Begin log>
Dr. ███████: Greetings, Mr. Fumihiro. Please say your full name and age to the camera.
Fumihiro: Um, ok. My names is Eiji Eito Tadashi Fumihiro. I'm 19. Hey, uhh, why am I here?
Dr. ███████: Leave the questions to me, understood? Good. Now, first I'd like to ask how are you?
Fumihiro: Well, uhh, whatever happened 2 months ago still sorta bothers me. Otherwise I'm ok, I guess. What's this place again? Like, some secret facility?
Dr. ███████: You don't need to know that, and I am still the one asking questions. To stick with the subject, could you tell more about what happened 2 months ago? Wasn't it the 23rd of April, 2016, to be more exact?
Fumihiro: Wait how do you know the exact… Oh yeah, you do the questions.
Dr. ███████: Answer the question, please.
Fumihiro: Right, fine. Well, I opened up Discord, if I reckon. And I was looking for some new servers to join, I think. I was really bored. Then I found this cool-looking server, and it was quite a new one. It was looking for new members, right? Like, new staff members and such. Seemed cool.
Dr. ███████: I see. Could you tell me what happened when you found this server?
Fumihiro: Why do you guys even want to know about this? Who are you guys anyway? Some bunch of fancy-dressed dudes come and tell me to pack my bags. What's the point?
Dr. ███████: Listen now. I ask the questions here, and that's the last time I'm going to say that. What happened to you, has happened to many others. We are very interested about what happened, because it's a great concern for not only our government, but many others.
Fumihiro: But wh-
Dr. ███████: You really don't have to, and you really shouldn't know about it. What happened to you was abnormal, if I say so myself. What I want you to do, is listen to my questions and answer me. Your co-operation will guarantee both your and our well-being. Understand? Good. Now, what happened when you found this server you talked about?
Fumihiro: … Well, um. When I joined, the server said that I gotta wait, like, 10 minutes because of some security measures. Some servers do that, quite paranoid but I get that.
Dr. ███████: What exactly did it say?
Fumihiro: Ummm… I think it was something like ''Hi! To keep the server more secure, you gotta wait 10 minutes before you can message'' or something like that. I don't really remember.
Dr. ███████: Did you send a message after the 10 minutes?
Fumihiro: Of course I did.
Dr. ███████: And what happened afterwards?
Fumihiro: Ummm, I don't know. All I remember was that when I typed it I just felt some sorta tingle or something and I fainted. I think.
Dr. ███████: Please elaborate.
Fumihiro: I kinda.. Uh… I dunno. It felt almost sickening, really. But I think I fell asleep somehow, but it didn't feel like sleep. I felt like I was stuck, but at the same time I didn't feel anything.
Dr. ███████: You didn't feel anything?
Fumihiro: Yeah. I couldn't see or feel anything. It's almost like I exited my body or something, but it didn't feel right. I wanted to go back to what I was.
Dr. ███████: How did you feel?
Fumihiro: Well I panicked, of course! I was scared, I didn't know what to do! And it was worse with all the random thoughts that went into my head!
Dr. ███████: What does that mean?
Fumihiro: I-I-I dunno! It just… It felt like there was a massive bunch of thoughts and they weren't mine. I don't really know how long it lasted, I lost sense of time after some time.
Dr. ███████: You woke up from a hospital, diagnosed with coma after 2 weeks. How did that feel to you?
Fumihiro: I was super confused. I was awake through the whole thing. I didn't sleep a single bit, but everybody told me I was dreaming. Nobody understood me. What I experienced wasn't a dream. I didn't feel or see anything.
Dr. ███████: Do you remember reading through the messages before sending messages?
Fumihiro: Uhh, yeah. Yeah, I remember now! Lots of them were quite the same.
Dr. ███████: What were the messages like?
Fumihiro: Well, it was like, uh, they were mostly really panicky. They looked like they were in panic. They kept shouting, like ''lemme out!'' ''let me out of this place!''. I'm pretty sure that was role-play, since it was a role-play server.
Dr. ███████: Right. What about the ''thoughts'' you talked about while you were… ''stuck''?
Fumihiro: They were… They were the same. I think I was shouting out something like that. Well I tried to shout out stuff, but obviously I couldn't hear anything. I could only think. I think I was stuck at that server. Is that what it was? Because I thought about escaping really hard, until I think I felt some sorta odd thought. The thought said ''Are you sure you want to leave the server?'', I think. I don't remember much, but I woke up immediately afterwards.
Dr. ███████: Hm. I see. I think this will do for now. Thank you, Mr. Fumihiro. This interview is over, the exit is that way.

Eiji Fumihiro was administered Class-B Amnestics after the interview, and was moved back to his home in Tokyo.
