alright first idea incoming gotta start somewhere right
SCP-XXXX appears as an ordinary diamond ring. When analyzed all materials also show no anomalies. It is kept in a typical ring box.
If a creature makes contact with the ring, a “gut feeling” of something “bad” is reported by the creature. When pressed they have difficulty articulating exactly what is "bad" about the ring, just that it seems off or dangerous or otherwise malevolent. It's essentially the same feeling you get when something sets off a “red flag” in your mind, but you aren’t sure exactly why, just that hey you don’t trust this thing.
Experiments to determine what exactly is “bad” about it shows nothing out of the ordinary besides it literally just being a diamond ring. Regardless, because almost everyone seems to agree this thing is dangerous, it’s still being contained at a site.
Different people have different strengths in reaction to the ring, i.e., some people just feel something vaguely “off” about it, others immediately drop it and declare they want nothing to do with it. On rare occasions a person has no reaction at all. Testing finds that those who have a stronger reaction to the ring correlated to higher scores for at least one moral foundation according to the Moral Foundations Theory and lower scores in tests for neuroticism, paranoia, and psychasthenia.
SCP-XXXX is a projector has some sort of scanner on its back. When a creature moves within range of the scanner a horizontal red line is emitted and vertically "scans" the creature. The machine will then hum for a few moments before creating a projection that is a replica of the scanned creature.
Said projection will be an exact replica of the scanned creature with the same voice, movement, and mannerisms projected onto a plane. The plane forms on the closest surface in range and extends itself to some area that allows for the whole creature to be projected and have room to comfortably move around. If the creature was carrying something, the object will also be part of the projection, even if it wasn't originally visible; for example, if someone had something in their pocket and was scanned, the projection will have the same item and be able to pull it out of its own pocket. If two creatures are scanned simultaneously, only one will be made into a projection, with preference shown for the creature that seems more "interesting"; in general, if a creature doesn't seem to be "interesting" enough, the SCP will fail to generate a projection.
Said projection can talk and listen, but cannot be physically interacted with. The projection also cannot physically interact with anything else in the room that isn't part of the projection. The projection will take on the same knowledge, personality, and essentially "mind" of the original creature but will demonstrate an awareness that it is just a copy. Reaction to this awareness depends heavily on the creature being copied; in most cases the fact isn't even addressed unless brought up by someone else. In addition, the projection will show to have knowledge of anything the original creature had known at any point in time previously, essentially having an eidetic memory and even remembering things that were forgotten by the original creature.
Various test logs from the projection of various individuals are noted, some possible ideas:
- A researcher is projected. The projection and the researcher have a pleasant conversation; after bouncing ideas back and forth, the researcher reaches a breakthrough they had been struggling with with the help of the projection.
- A class D subject is projected. The subject is observed to listen closely to the projection as it whispers something to them. A few days later, the subject attempts to escape the foundation, seeming to use opportunities from regularly scheduled procedures around the site to their advantage. They are eventually caught and terminated.
- Multiple trials with various animals are tested, most of them resulting in failure. Only one trial was successful with a macaques monkey: the projection was created and then proceeded to aimlessly wander around before shutting itself off quicker than in any other test. This result could not be replicated.
- A janitor/miscellaneous staff accidentally sets off the projector. They are found crying as the projector is shutting off. When asked about what happened, it's revealed the projection had helped them remember the face of someone dear to them that they had lost to time as they didn't own any pictures and it had been years since their passing.
- An agent is projected. The agent and the projection proceed to have a civil discussion before the projection references a case the agent worked on in the past. The agent becomes confused, saying they never worked on such a case, causing the projection to realize they had slipped up since the agent had taken an amnestic to forget about the whole thing. The agent gets increasingly agitated as they attempt to press the projection for information while the projection refuses to yield, saying things like "you agreed to forget" and "it's for the best you don't remember" before the agent has to be forcibly removed before it escalated further. The test ends with the projection apologizing profusing before shutting itself off.
Item #: SCP-XXXX-J
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-J is to be kept in a small plastic container with a sealed snap-close lid and placed in the third floor breakroom refrigerating unit set at approximately 1.6°C. The name "Robert" is to be written on the lid of the container with a permanent marker, designating its owner as Dr. Robert Smith. It is to be noted that it does not say "John" or "John Brown" anywhere on the container, because Agent John Brown holds no ownership over SCP-XXXX-J. All personnel, including Agent Brown, are not to interact with SCP-XXXX-J with the exception of Dr. Smith, who is to remove the SCP at approximately 12:30 during his lunch break. Any instances of other personnel, especially Agent Brown, interacting or consuming SCP-XXXX-J should be reported to Dr. Smith immediately.
Description: SCP-XXXX-J is a delicious ham and cheese sandwich made by Mrs. Smith for her dearest husband, Dr. Robert Smith. It consists of two slices of artisan rye bread cut approximately 1.5cm thick with 5-8 layers of sliced black forest ham, two layers of swiss cheese, and a small amount of dijon mustard stacked between. Dr. Smith greatly appreciates his loving wife for making SCP-XXXX-J every morning for him and not Agent John Brown, because SCP-XXXX-J is not Agent Brown's.
Despite being explicitly created for Dr. Smith's consumption, SCP-XXXX-J will disappear from its container before 12:30 during his scheduled lunch break. It is "unknown" where SCP-XXXX-J disappears to but once gone, it will only reappear the next morning after being made again by the loving Mrs. Smith. Instances of SCP-XXXX-J have been spotted with Agent Brown during his own lunch break, scheduled at 12:00, where it has been reportedly consumed by said Agent. However, when questioned about SCP-XXXX-J, Agent Brown will deny any knowledge of the object, "let alone" the consumption of it.
<Begin Log, 12:34>
Dr. Smith: John, did you eat my lunch again?
Agent Brown: What? No.
Dr. Smith: I know you keep taking my sandwich.
Agent Brown: I have no idea what you're on about.
Dr. Smith: Yes, you do, Dr. █████ said she saw you eating it an hour ago.
Agent Brown: Rob, I haven't even seen your sandwich, let alone ate it.
Dr. Smith: John I swear to fuck—
[Agent Brown proceeds to exit the breakroom, shutting the door behind him.]
Dr. Smith: —Goddammit.
<End Log, 12:35>
Other interviews have been conducted with similar results. Presenting additional evidence of his consumption of SCP-XXXX-J have also been met with consistent denial of any interaction with or knowledge of SCP-XXXX-J by Agent Brown. This implies SCP-XXXX-J may have an amnestic effect on those who consume it, or that Agent Brown is a big fucking liar. Further research is necessary on the effects of SCP-XXXX-J. Investigation into methods to keep Agent Brown from consuming SCP-XXXX-J is also required, as apparently unambiguous labelling of ownership of the object and multiple verbal warnings have not been sufficient.
Addendum: fuck you john thats my fucking sandwich
