Projected appearance of Site-██'s ruins due to Researcher ██████ ruining containment of SCP-XXXX.

Special Containment Procedures: Currently, no effective containment procedures for SCP-XXXX have been devised, and pending such development SCP-XXXX is poised to cause an XK-Class End-of-the-World Scenario. Mitigation is currently limited to grief counseling and similar services for Foundation personnel. The only individual or source believed to be capable of developing effective containment procedures is Researcher ██████, who has (unsurprisingly) completely failed to do so up to this point in time. The likelihood of containment procedures being developed by Researcher ██████ is not able to be precisely calculated, but is likely low. It has been theorized that this is due to Researcher ██████ being a fraud and not even -being- a real researcher, thus ensuring any of their attempts to develop containment procedures will fail, but this has not yet been conclusively demonstrated even if we all know it, including them.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a multifaceted temporal event which will occur as a direct result of negligence by Researcher ██████. The specific instance of a suboptimal decision from Researcher ██████ that will cause SCP-XXXX to occur is not currently known, but the devastation of Researcher ██████'s bodily and mental health, the safety of their loved ones, the Foundation's integrity, and the survival of humanity at large will all inevitably be impacted. Possible scenarios have been judged to include:'

Possible Event Cause of SCP-XXXX Event Reccomended Emotion
Worldwide economic collapse leading to mass starvation. Conclusively shown to be directly due to Researcher ██████'s fiscal irresponsibility. Shame.
Researcher ██████ inadvertently mentioning [REDACTED], causing SCP- ████ to [DATA EXPUNGED] their entire [DATA EXPUNGED] and reveal to everyone that Researcher ██████ is [REDACTED]. Researcher ██████'s lack of respect for operational security and general incompetence. Guilt.
A hospitalization of Dr. ████████, preventing vital vaccination work from being completed when an anomalous plague wipes out most of humanity. Determined to be most likely caused by Researcher ██████'s accidentally sneezing on Dr. ████████. Panic.

While the exact contents of SCP-XXXX are difficult to discern, all plausible scenarios have been judged to be directly due to Researcher ██████'s weakness of character, incompetence in their position, lack of physical or mental fortitude, or any combination of similar factors. Researcher ██████ is advised that this is absolutely all their fault and they are encouraged to think long and hard about the disaster they've caused. Researcher ██████ demonstrably does not care about the well being of their friends, co-workers, or family. Research into what makes Researcher ██████ such a horrible person is currently ongoing, but is not expected to conclude in the near future due to the large amount of data which needs to be analyzed to come to a conclusive answer.

While most people are able to accept the onset of SCP-XXXX with aplomb (if minor annoyance), Researcher ██████ has notably degraded as a result of learning that the impending doom shares a causal connection with them. You did this, you know. Everyone's going to die and you're too dumb to even understand why and avoid it even though you know it's coming. Maybe the coffee you drank this morning? Maybe you shouldn't have stopped at that stop sign. Researcher ██████ has a demonstrated ability to comprehend how these events could lead to SCP-XXXX, and their inability to calmly deal with them earns them scorn from their colleagues. Everyone is looking at you right now, Researcher ██████. They can see you barely able to breathe and shaking. You're an embarrassment to all Foundation Personnel and when SCP-XXXX ends all sapient life, whatever might be left will have undeniable proof that it was all your fault fault fault fault

SCP-XXXX-A after a deep clean.

Special Containment Procedures: No personnel are to be assigned to the room in which SCP-XXXX manifests (SCP-XXXX-A), particularly not for use as their primary or secondary office or similar workspace. The room, #43 at Site-██, does not demonstrate any anomalous properties when it is not being used as a personal office by Foundation personnel. Room #43 is to be left empty and barred from use In an effort to avoid accidental assignment as a workspace, Room #43 is currently designated as a break and leisure room. Supervisory staff at Site-██ have been briefed to, as a precautionary measure, not "order" or otherwise compel any Foundation personnel under their supervision to enter or regard SCP-XXXX-A.

In the event that any individual becomes an instance of SCP-XXXX-B, they are to be detained for their own safety, followed by provision of psychiatric care to alleviate any resulting symptoms. When SCP-XXXX ceases, former instances are free to return to any and all interrupted prior duties provided that any lingering non-anomalous symptoms do not prevent them from doing so.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an phenomena that occurs when Foundation personnel use SCP-XXXX-A as their workspace at the request of a supervisor. Symptoms of SCP-XXXX may take up to three days to manifest when first exposed, though the onset occurs significantly more rapidly on repeat assignments. After this initial waiting period, the personnel in question (hereafter SCP-XXXX-B) suffers from a perceptive distortion that occurs with all known forms of "media" such as text, recorded audio, and visuals. SCP-XXXX-B instances will perceive any such material as describing imminent or ongoing apocalyptic scenarios directly caused by their action, lack of action, character flaws, and other personal defects. Specifics depend on the method of delivery and context.

SCP-XXXX's effects are only perceptive, but due to its pervasiveness and resulting shock, SCP-XXXX-B will generally believe the material they are viewing to be truthful. Common immediate reactions include inconsolable weeping, screaming, and other behaviour consistent with acute stress. Ongoing responses range from being convinced that intervening personnel are SCP-XXXX instances attempting to stop them from averting XK-class scenarios to begging for forgiveness from anyone around them.

Amnestics are successful in reducing the acute effects of SCP-XXXX exposure, but treated SCP-XXXX-B instances generally developed conditions similar to PTSD or generalized anxiety disorders afterwards. More traditional modes of therapy alleviate lingering effects with superior efficacy. Regardless of treatment, the anomalous effects of SCP-XXXX begin to subside when the SCP-XXXX-B instance is unassigned from SCP-XXXX-A or is otherwise prevented from utilizing it for an extended period.

Incident XXXX-A: On 04/02/20██, Dr. ████████ set up a Foundation Mobile Workstation in SCP-XXXX-A and instructed Researcher ██████ to use it for his documentary work on SCP-████ until further notice. Researcher ██████ has a history of anxiety known to the supervisory team and quickly began exhibiting symptoms of SCP-XXXX. Dr. ████████'s disciplinary action is pending review. Movement of SCP-XXXX to Level 1 Security Clearance is pending review.
