Item #: SCP-4242
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures:SCP-4242 is to be kept inside a locked safe protected by at least two armed guards. SCP-4242 has no will of it's own and will not try to release itself unless it engages in physical contact with humans.
After further research using D-class personnel (refer to addendum 01) SCP-4242 is now to be kept away from any human population. It has to be locked inside a safe, within a 2x2x2m locked room. The room's entrances are to be guarded 7 days a week, 24 hours a day by armed guards, as well as cameras inside the room itself.
Description: SCP-042 is a notebook with a black cover made from [CLASSIFIED] leather and white pages. Research suggests that the number of pages is endless, even if it shows no more then 100 pages from the outside.
The notebook is thousands of years old and contains detailed drawings of historical events such as Caesar's murder, Hitler's suicide and Joana d'Arc's execution, amongst other such events. Further analysis of the ink used in said drawings shows that they were made before the historical events that they depict.
One of the very last drawings found on the notebook was made in the [CLASSIFIED], Great Britain, and it depicts a giant creature with the head of an octopus sitting upon a throne of skulls, with rivers of blood by it's side. The drawing is incomplete, however, but testing suggests that the notebook somehow wants the drawing to be completed, driving anyone and everyone that touches it insane with the will to complete the drawing.
Addendum 01: The following text is a report made by Doctor [CLASSIFIED] Smith, and Doctor [CLASSIFIED] Lo.
Entry-001: Mark [CLASSIFIED] is… was a cooperative D-Class individual that was convicted of murder. He was instructed to enter the notebook's room accompanied by armed guards and simply touch the notebook and report on what he feels. "I feel.. creativity…" he said, as he set down and quickly started drawing. His… art skills suddenly got considerably better. The guards were ordered to stop him and take him out of the room, they did it with no further problems. Closer examination shows an unfinished drawing of what seemed like a dead SPC Armed Guard. When asked to draw anything else in another notebook, the subject's skill level returned to his average. He was terminated shortly after.
Entry-002: Julia [CLASSIFIED] was a cooperative D-Class personnel, also convicted or murder… She was given the same instructions as the last test subject. As in the last test, she received a sudden flow of creativity and started drawing rapidly. What she drew worries me… in the notebook, seconds before being completed, was a drawing of SCP-682 breaking his acid container and attacking an armed guard… After the incident, the guards took her away to her cell, and just like the last time her drawing skills went back to her average. Thing is… she had no way of knowing that CP-682 even existed… let alone the method we use to contain it… Anyways, unlike in the previous test the subject was not terminated right away and was put on observation. For several days after the test she remained anxious and uneasy, as if looking or waiting for something. She was terminated shortly after the anxiety began to worn out.
Entry-003: [REDACTED]
Entry-003-B: after the disaster that was the previous test there were various staff casualties… sadly including Doctor [CLASSIFIED] Smith… he was a good researcher… and a friend. Anyway, that is part of the job when you work for the Foundation… My name is Doctor [CLASSIFIED] Lo, and I took over the tests with SCP-4242. My theory was that the notebook somehow reads the minds of the people using it and makes them do something akin to what they were convicted to…
Entries 001 and 002 were made using murderers, and look to where we got… of course, my theory was almost completely false. Maria [ClASSIFIED] was a middle age woman that was accused of stealing food for her children… my goal was to test if the notebook cared whether or not the intentions of the user were good. Of course, the test failed. And the guards failed to stop the subject before she finished the drawing… the drawing in question was of several guards inside the facility wearing SCP-178 copies. Before anyone noticed what was happening all of the people, including Doctor Smith, drawn by the subject suffered massive lacerations and died either instantly or of blood loss shortly after. I was one of the very few that came out alive… I am not sure why but the original entry by Doctor Smith got redacted.. maybe he had some information that could not get loose… I may never know for sure.
