Per 
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to remain in the second-floor lavatory in the research sector of Site 27, fixed to the wall beside the sinks. The alcohol hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipe dispensers in the lavatory must be kept stocked and clean. Site janitorial staff must also disinfect all surfaces on this floor at twice regular frequency. All staff on this floor will be provided with hand moisturizers as requested to avoid drying.
SCP-XXXX in its current form
Description: SCP-XXXX is an aluminum sign of variable dimensions which compels any person able to see its message to disobey its content. The dimensions and message change based on the object’s current location, changing to best suit the current location. Currently, the object is a 22.86 cm by 7.62 cm black sign with the message "Employees Must Wash Hands Before Returning to Work." Because the contents of the sign must be directly disobeyed, anyone to use the lavatory will not wash their hands in the sink, but will sanitize their hands using alcohol-based hand sanitizer and wipe using disinfecting wipes.
SCP-XXXX changes dimensions immediately upon crossing the threshold between spaces. This includes being carried through doorways, across streets, and over property lines. The object will always take on an appropriate aesthetic and message, and will never be perceived as out-of-place.
If the message on SCP-XXXX is not seen and disobeyed for a period of 12 hours, the object will transport itself instantaneously to a different site within a 20-meter radius. No tested method of securing the object will contain this translation. The object exerts no anomalous effects on persons viewing it through images or videos, but mirrors, lenses, and other indirect viewing methods do still compel the viewer.
Discovery: SCP-XXXX was found at a street intersection in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. When first found, SCP-XXXX was in the form of a stop sign. The large number of car accidents at that intersection drew Foundation attention, especially when noted that every instance involved a car accelerating through the same direction without stopping. The object was collected and replaced with a non-anomalous road sign on 2019/07/05. While being transported to low security Foundation Site 27, the agents carrying the object noted that its size and appearance were changing as the vehicle moved. The driver, upon looking to the object (which had taken the form of a Merge Right sign), immediately pulled left into oncoming traffic, nearly causing a head-on collision. The object was covered and brought into the site without further incident.
History: Upon initial containment, SCP-XXXX was classified as Safe and locked in a standard anomalous item containment unit in Site 27. The next day, two anomalous objects escaped containment as their Special Containment Procedures were not followed. SCP-XXXX was also reported missing. After an investigation and the re-containment of the anomalies, it was discovered that all staff responsible for the lapse in containment has seen a sign bearing the message “Special Containment Procedures Must be Followed at All Times.” The sign was removed and determined to be SCP-XXXX.
The offending staff, when questioned on their reasoning for causing a containment breach, all stated that disobeying the sign would "Make them Cool." Possible connections to GOI Are We Cool Yet? are under investigation.
Due to the newfound escape ability, the object class was changed to Euclid. After attempting several containment measures including lead-lining and video surveillance, SCP-XXXX continued to escape without regular use. Due to the potentially low threat in a proper environment, SCP-XXXX was marked to be contained within the high-traffic areas of Site 27 away from other item containment and D-Class populated sectors.
On 2019/07/10, Researcher K. Cao, a blind individual unaffected by SCP-XXXX, was given clearance to test the object around Site 27 to determine a suitable location for containment that would minimize risk while maximizing usage of the object.
Testing Log:
Object: SCP-XXXX
Subject: D-13776
Attending Researcher: Researcher K. Cao
Location: Site 27 Main Entrance
Message: “No Unauthorized Persons Allowed”
Result: D-13776 attempted to force entry to the locked door leading to the Primary Containment Sector.
Conclusion: Unsuitable
Object: SCP-XXXX
Subject: D-13776
Attending Researcher: Researcher K. Cao
Location: Site 27 First-Floor Research Sector Hallway
Message: “No Running in Hallways”
Result: D-13776 sprinted down the length of the hallway, nearly running into Researcher N. Singh. Singh then saw the object and began running as well. Running ceased when the object was moved to a new space.
Note: Cordon off future testing locations.
Conclusion: Unsuitable
Object: SCP-XXXX
Subject: D-13776
Attending Researcher: Researcher K. Cao
Location: Site 27 Research Sector Primary Stairwell
Message: “Pull Fire Alarm in Case of Emergency”
Result: D-13776 pulled the nearest fire alarm, triggering a site-wide evacuation.
Conclusion: Unsuitable
Object: SCP-XXXX
Subject: D-13776
Attending Researcher: Researcher K. Cao
Location: Site 27 Second Floor Chemical Storeroom
Message: “Hazardous Chemicals: Do Not Touch”
Result: D-13776 received severe chemical burns to the arms and hands after immersion in 12M Sodium hydroxide solution.
Conclusion: Unsuitable
Object: SCP-XXXX
Subject: D-13777
Attending Researcher: Researcher K. Cao
Location: Site 27 Office 2302
Message: “Room Capacity Not to Exceed 20 Persons”
Result: D-13777 began flagging down passers-by, all of whom were compelled to ignore the Anomalous Testing Warning tape and enter Office 2302 until there were 21 individuals in the room. Once this number was reached, all individuals immediately left the office.
Conclusion: Unsuitable
Object: SCP-XXXX
Subject: D-13777
Attending Researcher: Researcher K. Cao
Location: Site 27 Second-Floor Staff Lavatory
Message: “Employees Must Wash Hands Before Returning to Work”
Result: D-13777 used the toilet and left without washing hands.
Note: When offered hand sanitizer and a disinfecting wipe, D-13777 accepted and used without question or hesitation, despite the sign bearing the same message. Sanitizing and wiping are not equated with hand washing under the effect of the object, mitigating most health risks.
Conclusion: Suitable
