Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid Keter Safe

Special Containment Procedures:

SCP-XXXX is no longer contained. The fact that SCP-XXXX is anomalous must be concealed. To that end, the Foundation has put a large-scale media disinformation campaign into place. At least two instances of SCP-XXXX-2 are to be kept on staff at all times. In the event of uncontained SCP-XXXX-2 instances surfacing, Project Somnus should be enacted to recruit or discredit them.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a memetic infection that causes exhaustion, irritability, forgetfulness, periods of unconsciousness, and hallucinations. It can affect most species in the kingdom Animalia, and it can be spread via visual contact with body language, specifically when an infected individual1 extends its mouth and exhales. The infection has a very rapid onset, often with the new SCP-XXXX-1 instance mirroring the mouth extension back at the infecting SCP-XXXX-1. Methyltheobromine has been found to prevent onset of SCP-XXXX

Discovery: SCP-XXXX was originally discovered in 18██ having infected █ koalas.2 Due to their inherent asocial behavior, infection rate was initially low. Upon containment, ██ personnel were infected due to carelessness, and were quarantined on-site. The koalas were retained until it was certain that personnel were being affected by the same anomaly as the koalas. The koalas were disposed of, and their bodies incinerated.

Addendum 1: It has become apparent that some instances of SCP-XXXX-1 do not mirror the body language vector upon infection. At least ███ more were infected before this was noticed, and have been quarantined.

Addendum 2: Methyltheobromine consumption has been determined to be ineffective at halting spread of SCP-XXXX, only preventing symptoms from presenting temporarily. Widespread infection across multiple sites. SCP-XXXX-1 staff are having to work even in their compromised conditions. Memetics Division starts work on integrating a trait into SCP-XXXX, under the assumption that SCP-XXXX is due to infect the global population.

Addendum 3: SCP-XXXX is uncontained and is rapidly spreading through the population. The Memetics Division has successfully introduced an amnestic trait into SCP-XXXX. All SCP-XXXX-1 instances have forgotten that SCP-XXXX is anomalous, and assume that it has always existed.

Addendum 4: It has been found that some people, designated SCP-XXXX-2, are immune to SCP-XXXX, which is the biological need to sleep.
