Sleep Police

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be locked in a 1m x 1m x 1m containment locker that is to be only accessed for research purposes, with approval from at least one (1) level two (2) or higher researcher. Said locker should be fixed in the center of a 2.5m x 2.5m x 2.5m room that shall be guarded by no less than two (2) armed guards. Both the locker and room shall be composed of lead, as it has shown to resist SCP-XXXX's cognitohazardous effects.

Guards must wear specialized auditory protection that obstructs any sound which is lower than 20 Hz and will be rotated every week. Due to SCP-XXXX's cognitohazardous effects, all staff, both research and guard, must submit to bi-daily psychiatric evaluations. Under no circumstances shall any personnel sleep or attempt to sleep within 25 feet of SCP-XXXX. Failure to comply will be met with recreational privileges revoked and eventual transfer to another project if staff are unable to comply.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a Nintendo DS cartridge titled "Sleep Police." The Foundation is unaware if multiple instances of SCP-XXXX exist, as no records indicate that SCP-XXXX was ever produced.

SCP-XXXX's anomalous abilities are apparent when any individual is within 25 feet of SCP-XXXX's presence. Individuals under the effect of SCP-XXXX will experience the urge to sleep, with the urge becoming more apparent and more persuasive as said individual moves closer to SCP-XXXX. Upon falling asleep, the subject, who will henceforth be known as SCP-XXXX-2, will move an appendage, whether it be an arm, a leg or the head. However, the most common example of an SCP-XXXX-2 movement is opening its eyes and appearing to look around the containment chamber. It appears that SCP-XXXX-2 moves upon its own will, appearing to try and get into a comfortable position for sleep.

Upon completion of said movement, black smoke will emanate from SCP-XXXX, form into what appears to be an American police officer from the 1960's, and will walk towards SCP-XXXX-2¹. SCP-XXXX-3 will then enter SCP-XXXX-2 through SCP-XXXX-2's mouth, nose and ears. Tests have shownthat SCP-XXXX-3 is mainly composed of sulfur dioxide mixed with currently unknown compounds that give SCP-XXXX-# its distinctive scent. SCP-XXXX-3 has no apparent anomalous traits when it is removed from the immediate vicinity of SCP-XXXX, and will "deform" and expand to take up all space in its current environment.

Experiment Logs:

Note: The following tests were carried out with two (2) D-Class personnel (D-6347 and D-9945) in the test chamber, one of which (D-9945) was wearing auditory protection. SCP-XXXX-2 will henceforth be known as subject.

Experiment One: Subject moved its right leg.

Experiment results: Subject was "possessed" by SCP-XXXX-3 and lied on the ground twitching for 5 minutes and 32 seconds. SCP-XXXX-3 then exited Subject. D-6347 had no recollection of the incident.

Experiment Two: Subject moved its left leg.

Experiment results: Subject was "possessed" by and lunged at D-9945, knocking his auditory protection off in the process.

Experiment Three: Subject moved its right arm.

Experiment results: Subject was possessed by SCP-XXXX-3. Subject immediately stood up
and emitted what could only be described as "A horrible [REDACTED] screech", by Researcher Lewandowski.
SCP-XXXX-3 exited Subject, who was visibly disturbed, despite still claiming to have no recollection of past events.

Experiment Four: Subject moved its left arm.

Experiment results: Subject was possessed and began to vomit profusely. D-9945 complained the chamber smelled of "rotten eggs and burnt flesh." The "rotten eggs" smell is attributed to the fact that SCP-XXXX-3 is composed of sulfur dioxide. The "rotten flesh" aspect is currently under investigation. After 42 seconds, Subject ceased vomiting and immediately stated to seize. As medical staff attempted to enter the containment chamber, Subject stood up and began to walk towards the staff members. upon realizing this, the medical staff quickly evacuated the chamber.Subject's motives are unknown.

Experiment Five: Subject moved its head and opened its eyes, appearing to look around.

Experiment results: Subject was possessed by SCP-XXXX-3. Subject stood up and started
to scratch at its eyes. After 1 minute and 3 seconds of scratching, subject began to bleed from its ocular cavities, though this did not stop Subject from continuing to self mutilate. Approximately 14 seconds later, both Researchers Lewandowski and Alexopoulos, as well as all guard and junior research staff reported feeling the urge to sleep, despite wearing auditory protection. MTF Eta-11 ("Savage Beasts") were alerted. 33 seconds after this, all staff in the vicinity of SCP-XXXX fell asleep. Security cameras show Subject forcefully insert its fingers into its ocular cavities. This should have been fatal, but Subject seemed unimpeded by its apparent puncture wounds. With blood oozing out of its eyes, the subject walked over to D-9945, who was unconscious, and stood over it for approximately 3 hours and 23 minutes. During this time, any staff not initially present during the breech that tried to enter

Footnotes

1. All attempts to stop SCP-XXXX-3 from moving towards SCP-XXXX-2 have resulted in failure, as SCP-XXXX-3 seems to be able to disappear into an object and exit on the other side, similar to the ability of SCP-106.
