Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Id
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is an uncontained phenomenon. At present, the best methods of containment will only minimize SCP-XXXX's impact upon human beings. Investigation into SCP-XXXX will better determine future containment methods.
Any information regarding SCP-XXXX is subject to the Id Protocol devised by Dr. Katelyn Morgenhau, assistant junior researcher at Site-23. The Id Protocol is triggered whenever information regarding SCP-XXXX is accessed by staff.
Upon accessing the information, Class A amnestics are administered to the viewer by an automated system. The amnestics have a 15 minute lifetime before causing the memory of the subject to revert back to its condition 15 minutes prior to administration.
This is to prevent any information regarding SCP-XXXX entering the human noosphere . The Id Protocol is paramount to the current containment methods regarding SCP-XXXX. Staff are able to make amendments to this document during the 15 minute time limit.
The version number of the document and the duration of time that has passed since the last version update is displayed at the top of the page as a security measure.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the designation given to an anomalous entity.
SCP-XXXX is the physical form of the collective unconscious of all human beings. It is comprised of a person's bodily needs, wants, desires, and impulsive behaviors.
SCP-XXXX is a non-concept and it currently does not exist at the level of human consciousness. However, it is capable of manifesting within the unconscious thoughts of human subjects which has been designated as an SCP-XXXX event. Human subjects undergoing an active SCP-XXXX event will enter a sustained period of REM sleep distinguished by rapid contraction of eye muscles coinciding with relatively low muscular activity.
During an SCP-XXXX event, human subjects will become unable to discern the difference between their waking state and their dreaming state. SCP-XXXX will manifest within their immediate dream surroundings taking the appearance of a high medieval court jester with a mask similar to those worn at masquerade balls. Its sex will be identical to the subject's own.
SCP-XXXX will proceed to approach the subject and will begin to communicate with the subject. SCP-XXXX will begin discussing the subject's fantasies and impulses that they suppress from themselves. Whether these fantasies and impulses are negative or positive has no apparent bearing on what information SCP-XXXX decides to impart upon the subject.
If the subject should fail to confront these fantasies and impulses SCP-XXXX will, through anomalous means, cause the subject to be rendered medically brain dead. If the subject is successful in confronting SCP-XXXX, they will wake from the SCP-XXXX event with no signs of physical trauma.
To date, there is 1 known survivor of SCP-XXXX, Victoria Williams, aged 17. Victoria was admitted to St. Nicholas Hospital in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England for immediate psychiatric assistance after she was found by emergency services. Dr. Morgenhau was dispatched to interview the victim.
Interviewed: Victoria Williams, aged 17.
Interviewer: Dr. Katelyn Morgenhau, assistant junior researcher at Site-23.
Foreword: The following is a transcription of the interview held by Dr. Katelyn Morgenhau. The Foundation were alerted to a phone call between British emergency services and a teenaged girl concerning "her parents not being able to wake up" and that "the jester had killed them." At the time, the Foundation had just begun investigating cases of anomalous brain death.
Dr. Morgenhau: Hello Victoria, I'm Dr. Katelyn Morgenhau but you can call me Katie. I'm the head of psychiatric research at this hospital and I want to help you get better.
There is a pause of 5 seconds and sheets of paper being shuffled can be heard
Victoria: You're not going to lock me away, are you?
Dr. Morgenhau: No, we'd never lock you away darling. You're no longer considered a danger to yourself nor others. We only put people in confinement if they are a threat to their own health or others around them.
Victoria can be heard drinking from a cup and there is another pause of 7 seconds
Victoria: The other quacks won't listen to me. They insist I had a bad dream. That I was imagining it all. I'm telling you, K-Kartie.. that isn't true.
Dr. Morgenhau: I believe you Victoria. What I've gotten written down here doesn't sound like a nightmare to me.
Victoria remains silent for another 10 seconds before crying. This continues for another five minutes whilst Dr. Morgenhau attempts to console her
Victoria: It was.. lurching over my bed.. it was tall, wearing a mask and a jester outfit but it had m-my body. It was jeering and taunting me. It told me t-that my parents didn't want me, that I'd never been part of my own family. It k-kept coming closer and closer with that stupid grin.
Victoria: It t-told me that it had punished my parents.. th-that they were sinners and couldn't face themselves. It kept smiling whilst it was yelling at me! I told it to stop, to leave me alone but it wouldn't!
Victoria: I-it then told me.. n-nonsense.. bullshit..
Dr. Morgenhau: Tell me what nonsense it told you Victoria, it might be important.
Victoria: I-It was gibberish.. it was almost on top of me as it began muttering about a sea of souls and how it was my true self. I-I don't want to be that K-katie.. I don't want to! It killed my parents.. w-what if I k-killed..
Dr. Morgenhau: Victoria, you didn't. Trust me. This.. jester, that's what caused… it … to happen to your parents. What happened afterwards Victoria?
Victoria: It wanted to know the truth! S-so I.. I admitted it.. I admitted it all! It was me.. it was always my fault..
The remainder of the interview consists of Victoria crying. Dr. Morgenhau eventually turns the recording device off after five minutes
Closing Statement: Victoria Williams was administered Class A amnestics and was relocated to live with children of Foundation staff. She was later adopted by Dr. Morgenhau and is currently living with Dr. Morgenhau's immediate relatives.
Addendum XXXX.2 - Level 5 Clearance required.
The following document was recovered from among Dr. Morgenhau's personal possessions in the aftermath of an SCP-XXXX event at Site-23.
So, consider this my final update on the phenomenon we've tentatively labelled SCP-XXXX.
I continued to work with Victoria in the aftermath of her own tragedy. I know what the Ethics Committee will say about it: "Dr. Morgenhau, it's improper to have continuing relationships with subjects"
Fuck them. Crusty old bastards.
I knew Victoria was the key, she was the sole survivor of SCP-XXXX. She saw its face and realized what she was facing. Herself. She was facing her shadow.
I spent sleepless nights with my head buried in analytical psychology papers. Jung, Freud, anyone that could help me work my head around this. I was on the goddamn research team for [insert here] for the love of God.
I forged access to the amnestics department and the memetics department. Hell, I even stole a few research documents on antimemetics. All for her.
And I worked it out. I found out what we're dealing with here.
It wanted to be found, it wanted Victoria to be spared. It was smart because it was us but it wasn't smarter than us because it was us.
All the suffering, all the dark thoughts, all of deepest, darkest depravities. That's what it was. It was drawn to the Foundation like a moth to a damn candle. The untold amount of bloodied chaos that we've left in our wake.
I've proposed a series of security measures. Gave them a fancy name too to impress the O5 council since they love those. Bloody bastards, make sure they know I said that too, don't data expunge that.
What it wanted though. I found that out through my own struggle. It wanted to become a conscious thought, an idea, a concept.
The unconscious is what it is. Our collective unconscious. That grand mystical sea that holds all the instincts that we reject and suppress.
It wanted the Foundation to investigate it. It was smart and terrifying. If we kept investigating it, it would become more real. More solid. That's why the manifestation rates increased. That's why I've proposed the Id Protocol.
Very few researchers should be assigned to this SCP. I mean literally one or two, the less the better. It's all written down below.
It shouldn't be able to get what it wants if you follow my measures to the letter. But if my security measures are going to work it's going to need a counterpart. The Anima to its the Animus, the morality to its instincts, the Superego to its Id.
So I've gone to let it in. I've gone to face my demons.
Look after Vicky while I'm gone.
