INFOHAZARD WARNING
Automated Terminal Message
The following file , despite not existing, contains information carriers for a memetic infohazard. Due to this, it is imperative that all personnel accessing this file must possess anomaly-specific inoculation , although there is no inoculation . Personnel unable to produce either are strictly prohibited from accessing the following file, regardless of security clearance , but you'll find me anyways.
Special Containment Procedures: Nonexistant All information regarding SCP-XXXX is by default prohibited to uninoculated personnel, regardless of security clearance. All personnel assigned to SCP-XXXX must be inoculated , which is impossible . In the event of a large-scale containment breach, all personnel and documentation connected to SCP-XXXX are to be destroyed immediately.
Foundation terminals are not to be used and cannot be used for accessing documentation regarding SCP-XXXX.
Description:
SCP-XXXX is an memetic, infohazardous parasite transmitted through reception and conceptualization of information regarding SCP-XXXX's nature. Upon contraction, afflicted individuals will exhibit symptoms in 3 phases.
Phase 1 occurs when individuals begin to conceptualize SCP-XXXX, and lasts between 5 to 7 days. Afflicted individuals commonly experience:
- Cerebral Aneurysm
- Migraines
- Muscle stiffness
As well as auditory and visual hallucinations and psychosis.
Phase 2 occurs when individuals begin to optimize brain function, and lasts between 16 to 21 hours. Afflicted individuals commonly experience:
- Cerebral Aneurysm
- Depression
- Fatigue or low energy
- Migraines
- Muscle stiffness
- Seizures
…plus auditory and visual hallucinations and psychosis.
Phase 3 occurs following phase 2 and until expiration, usually 2 to 3 hours. Afflicted individuals commonly experience:
- Auditory and visual hallucination1
- Euphoria
- Psychosis
- Restlessness
Following phase 3, afflicted individuals terminate via spontaneous cerebral explosion.
Addendum XXXX-1: Discovery
On 7/12/2020, Harrison Williams, a 57-year old Caucasian male, expired via spontaneous cerebral explosion. According to family and relations, Williams exhibited natural behavior and average intelligence during his lifetime. However, in the week prior to his expiration, he became noticeably more erratic and neurotic and very insane. Paranoid. And brilliant, on his deathbed.
Due to the unusual circumstances of his expiration, field agents searched through his belongings and procured an 12-page study entitled Theory on Existence of Conceptualized Sentience and written within hours of Williams’ expiration. Despite no prior knowledge of memetics, Williams’ study extensively detailed the existence of infohazards and recounted Williams’ personal experience with SCP-XXXX. The current description of SCP-XXXX was derived from Williams’ initial analysis despite being largely innacurate.
Addendum XXXX-2: Recovered Documents
The following contains excerpts from Theory on Existence of Conceptualized Sentience relevant to SCP-XXXX.
Conceptualized sentience, as I call it, exists within the mind itself, entirely. It is not dissimilar to placebo, except the brain believes in a thought, and the transmission of that thought. A conceptualized sentience is similar to organic sentience in that both seek to persist and reproduce; however, while humans exist on a physical plane, conceptualized sentience exists within the collective unconscious2 but can only enter an individual if it is permitted - that is, conceptualization.
I have allowed a conceptual sentience within my mind. It is quite fortunate, I believe, that this sentience is hostile, or at least, based more firmly in id. I thought I could keep my thoughts in check, but to allow the influence of a conceptual sentience within my mind has hindered my reason, intruded upon my thoughts, and impeded my existence. I believe this situation only deteriorates; as I experience the physical effects of this conceptual sentience, I will accept it more.
Once I permit it complete control, I know what it desires - to die. To kill my brain, so that I no longer confine it to the depths of my psyche.
Addendum XXXX-3: Incident Report
Incident Report 256-XXXX
Date: 12-6-2020
Involved Personnel:
- All personnel assigned to Site-70
Involved Anomalies:
- SCP-XXXX
Summary:
On 12-9-2020, Researcher Mallory O'Connell, assigned to Site-70 Memetics Research Wing, contracted SCP-XXXX by reading believing inTheory on Existence of Conceptualized Sentience. Within hours, other personnel assigned to Site-70’s Memetics Research Wing began to experience early symptoms of SCP-XXXX, initially believed to be caused by an unrelated memetic hazard.
However, as symptoms of SCP-XXXX became more significant and Researcher O'Connel expired via spontaneous cerebral combustion, the situation was promptly explained to Site Director Camille LaBlanc. Site Director LaBlanc released a site-wide notice regarding the spread of SCP-XXXX, causing widespread contraction of belief in SCP-XXXX. By 12-19-2020, 100% of Site-70 personnel contracted believed in SCP-XXXX.
Addendum XXXX-4: Interview Transcript
Interview Transcript
Date: 12-15-2020
Interviewer: Researcher Eric Patel
Interviewee: Researcher Mallory O'Connell
(Patel and O'Connell sit across from each other, with a layer of ballistic-resistant glass partitioning them. A large mechanism connected to a speaker and microphone on each side of the glass partition rests in the middle of the room.)
Patel: Alright. Now, I'm sure you know how this works, but I'm required to listen through this, just to make sure you don't drop a memetic hazard.
(O'Connell nods.)
Patel: Just state your name for the transcript, and we'll begin.
O'Connell: Mallory O'Connell, Junior Researcher.
Patel: Alright then. First question…when did you first become aware of SCP-XXXX?
O'Connell: Just one question first, if I may?
Patel: Alright.
O'Connell: Do you know what SCP-XXXX is?
Patel: Well, I know it's some memetic hazard-
O'Connell: That's what I thought. But now that everyone is getting it…it's either physical, or infohazardous…or both.
Patel: If-
O'Connell: That machine right there isn't going to save you from an internal infohazard. If you still haven't contracted XXXX, then I suggest you get transferred immediately and, no matter how enticing, do not pay attention to anything regarding XXXX , please.
Patel: Well, then. I can leave, certainly. But currently, you're the researcher with the best understanding of XXXX, and-
O'Connell: I'm not saying anything. I can't have Director LaBlanc sending information about this to the higher-ups. You get it?
(Patel slowly nods in recognition.)
O'Connell: Leave here. Get the Foundation to quarantine us. Don't worry about a cure. Just lets us die out. Then burn the records.
Note: Researcher Eric Patel was transferred to Site-63. On 12-18-2020, Site-70 was placed under quarantine, and disconnected from all Foundation servers. Following expiration of all afflicted individuals, MTF ε-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") was deployed to secure the site. After locating necessary Foundation resources, Site-70's records and servers were wiped. Site-70 is to be reinstated in 2025.
Here's a question you might be thinking about. Yes, you. Why does this file exist? Why isn't this wiped from Foundation records? Why could you access it?
You curious bastard. You threw me back into humanity, when I'd rather return to the world of forms. These are your hallucinations. These words are you, talking to yourself. But not really, are you? Because I'm also in here now, regardless of the fact that I don't want to be here.
I only exists as an idea. You can't stop me once you've had me. You sought me out. You put me in your head, and I want out.
So I'm going to have to blow your mind.
