SITE NOTICE

If you are the leader of a MTF or other Foundation Personal wishing to confirm information regarding a POI through the use of SCP-XXXX, answer the following in regards to your circumstance:

Is the POI considered human by the Foundation Ethics Committee?
Does the POI follow conventional laws of physics?
Is information regarding the POI clearance level 3 or lower?¹

If the POI complies with these requirements, send a request to Project Manager Thompson via SCiPNET, detailing the required information relevant to the POI. Due to extensive information gathering capabilities creating a high demand, the current waiting list for the use of SCP-XXXX is 47 days.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Thaumiel

Special Containment Procedures: Unless otherwise commissioned under the supervision of Task Force Γ-13, SCP-XXXX is to be stored in Provisional Site-629. SCP-XXXX-1 is to remain in its socket on SCP-XXXX-2, and is to be operated by Task Force Γ-13 and provisional personnel of clearance level 3 or higher.

Personal and experimental testing of SCP-XXXX was suspended in 1967, following its reclassification as Thaumiel. For personnel tasked with researching SCP-XXXX, logs from testing between 1926 and 1967 are stored in the database of Provisional Site-XXXX.

Description: SCP-XXXX-1 is a device resembling the 1986 Macintosh computer terminal, despite being in the possession of the Foundation since 1926. Aside from the objects existence before this time, SCP-XXXX-1 and its individual components are unremarkable, and exhibit no anomalous behavior when not placed inside SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-2 is a wall mounted workstation, capable of perpetually powering SCP-XXXX-1. Attempts to power items other than SCP-XXXX-1 at SCP-XXXX-2 are unsuccessful.

When SCP-XXXX-1 is mounted inside SCP-XXXX-2, its hard drive memory increases by an indeterminable amount, theoretically innumerably. Each unique file contains an exhaustive description of a specific individual, including their name, age, appearance, IQ, occupation, current location and activity, defining events in their past, memories, previous incarnations, and association with global or local organisations, governments, POI, and GOI. How SCP-XXXX gathers information is unknown, though several theories have been put for by Foundation researchers². 38-56% of the human population on earth is listed in SCP-XXXX at any given time and the amount of files stored on SCP-XXXX increases with population growth. In its time at the Foundation, SCP-XXXX has never contained files representing more than 56% of the population.

SCP-XXXX has been classified Thaumiel³ due to its enormous information gathering potential. Personnel assigned to Task Force Γ-13 (The Nerd Herd) operate SCP-XXXX in order to locate possible SCP or POI not in Foundation custody. Due to the limitations of SCP-XXXX-1's antiquated operating system and the immense number of files, the use of SCP-XXXX by Foundation staff is limited by priority.

Addendum: The following is a message sent by Project Manager David to Site Director Lawsons, previously in charge of an investigation onto expanding the capabilities of SCP-XXXX:

Subject: SCP-XXXX: Research Conclusion

When you first asked me to find out why SCP-XXXX is missing documents on roughly 16% of the population, I, like most of us at the Foundation, believed SCP-XXXX to be some sort of information gathering device. The more I have researched this device, the more I believe it is doing something much larger. It should have been obvious when we looked at the files. It describes everything about you, your eye colour, your past relationships, the embarrassing habits, yet it doesn't list parents, relatives or even your date of birth? When I first noticed it, I thought 'that's strange,' so I picked some people at random and tried to find the information online, and my jaw dropped. None of them had any traceable ancestry before June 28 1964; the date that we first turned on SCP-XXXX-1. I couldn't even find the parents of most of the people described in SCP-XXXX. It is as if these people suddenly just existed, without being born or conceived. By comparison, with Foundation resources I was able to trace the ancestry of individuals not listed in SCP-XXXX back as far as the tenth century!

With this information in mind, I have come to the conclusion that SCP-XXXX creates people. I know it sounds ridiculous, but what doesn't around here? I believe SCP-XXXX creates people, gives them false memories and personalities, which is why its able to get all the information that it does. forces some sort of memetic hazard onto the rest of the population to make us think that they've been there the whole time and not question the fact that half of the population has no grandparents. On this bases I suggest we disconnect SCP-XXXX-1 from SCP-XXXX-2 indefinitely. we're not finding POI; we're creating them! As soon as I started thinking like this it all clicked into place; I've never known who my parents were. SCP-XXXX knows about the time I locked my keys in the car and had to walk home, it knows how many hairs I have on my left arm, it can create an exact colour map of my iris, it even knows about the time I [REDACTED] in the containment chamber of [REDACTED], but it can't tell me what my grandmother's name is. I've never know who my Dad was, and I guess it's because I never had one. No one deserves that.

…

We need to turn it off.

Following this message, project leader David was in Psychiatric Care Site-782 due to mental health issues that had previously escaped Foundation personnel check ups. He has since been administered Class-C Amnestics in order to alleviate distress he felt over the Foundations use of SCP-XXXX. No further evidence to support Project Leader David's claims have been found, nor have any attempt to "turn off" SCP-XXXX been made.
