Item #: SCP-####
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-#### is to be contained on Site-## in a standard humanoid chamber with the interior resembling a modern suburban home and equipped with amenities specific to the aid of elderly individuals. No less than two Level-2 attendees are to see to the care and moderated silence of SCP-####, with any vocalized recollections lasting longer than one minute to be promptly halted by necessary means.
Unless approved by Level-3 personnel no individual is to inquire of SCP-#### about any event having taken place in the past. Interactions are to be conducted in plain clothes attire of the modern era and any approved conversation is to be non-interrogative.
Description: SCP-#### is a male human of Caucasian descent by the name of Clarence █████. Subject is 87 years of age and is afflicted with the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s disease and mild dementia. SCP-####’s anomaly manifests whenever the subject begins to verbally recount events of the past in any capacity.
Within approximately one minute of verbal recollection, any organic and non-organic matter in the immediate vicinity of SCP-#### begins to transmute into clean1 cardboard, corrugated fiberboard, and foam packing peanuts. This effect radiates outward from the speaker in a circular pattern that continues forward at an average rate of 1.36kph, though is dependent on the speed and cadence of speech. This effect only stops when the subject voluntary changes the content of its speech to an event in the present or future, ceases speaking, or is forcefully silenced.
SCP-#### was discovered in a small crater buried amongst cardboard debris at the former address of the ███████ Senior Home in ██████, Wisconsin after numerous reports of the building transmuting and collapsing. Several transmuted human bodies were found and later confirmed to be low-mobility residents, while surviving residents and attending staff were given class-A amnestics and released.
Investigators at the scene reported that the entirety of the 5000sq m. residence, approximately 10m of the parking lot adjacent and any top soil up to 0.5m deep within the circle of effect had all been transmuted into clean cardboard and corrugated fiberboard.
SCP-#### was cited as being naked, delirious, and mildly dehydrated, but reported to investigators, he was ‘glad to have finished his story.’
Addendum ####-01 Experimentation with SCP-####’s anomalous effect concludes that the sound waves present in its vocalizations are not responsible for transmutation as all auditory equipment that was placed beyond visible decibel readings were still transmuted after the radius of effect eclipsed them.
Addendum ####-02 Examination of transmuted material reveals no anomalous properties. The general exterior of any object is highly representative of the original constructs albeit with the interior typically replaced with molded fluting and foam packing peanuts, dependent upon the complexity of the structure.
Addendum ####-03 Recent testing indicates that the transmuting element might be dependent on the specific content delivered in SCP-####'s speech. While most recollected events produce cardboard and foam byproducts, a few instances, in which the subject was comparatively enthusiastic to divulge, have produced Bubble Wrap brand cushioning, molding clay, silicone caulking, and in a singular event in which the subject was discussing his deceased wife, fused silica glass.
Interview Log ####-1
Interviewer: Agent Lauren Gilbert
<Begin Log>
(First interview conducted with SCP-#### on site of recovery, subject was treated for bruising and dehydration and given new clothing.)
Agent Gilbert: Hello, can you tell me your name? My name is Lauren, do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
SCP-####: Who are you? You’re not █████.
Agent Gilbert: My name is Lauren. Can you tell me yours? We want to help you.
SCP-####: I'm Clarence, what do you want to help me with?
Agent Gilbert: We’re giving you some IV fluids right now, you were under some cardboard. Do you remember that?
SCP-####: Cardboard? No, I was just telling ███ a tall tale about when I was in the army.
Agent Gilbert: Do you remember anything odd or unusual about today? See anything that was hard to explain?
SCP-####: No! I was just telling ███ about being… about being… in the army.
(SCP-####’s shirt collar begins to transmute to cardboard, but remains oblivious.)
Agent Gilbert: (stands up and retreats) Uh, I might need some help in here, Agent Myers? Anyone? I think that’s enough questions for now, Clarence.
SCP-####: Why? Where are you going? Did you know I was in Korea? Nearly lost my… legs there. It’s… quite the story if you want to hear it. I can see everything happening like a… stage-play.
(SCP-####'s full attire is transmuted into cardboard along with the hospital bed it resides in, causing it to buckle.)
Agent Gilbert: Clarence, I’m going to need you to be quiet right now, we’re going to take you someplace safe. I think you should rest awhile.
SCP-####: Oh, come now, I know my delivery can be a bit bland, but I can still weave a tale. I don't get up to much else these days.
Agent Gilbert: Clarence, stop talking!
SCP-####: I… okay.
