Item#:6XXX
Clearance Level 2: Clearance
Secondary Class: {$secondary-class}
SCP-6XXX being prepared for sample analysis.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-6XXX is to be kept in a standard secure locker. All testing with SCP-XXXX is to be conducted in a fireproofed chamber, with researchers and test subjects assigned to SCP-6XXX must wear flame retardant clothing. In the instance of a test surpassing X Scoville Heat Units (SHU), MTF Epsilon-9 ("Fire Eaters") is to be on standby to extinguish the resultant flame.
All new instances of SCP-6XXX-1 are to catalogued, rebottled and labeled.
Any sightings of SCP-6XXX-A are to be reported to Site Director [].
Description: SCP-6XXX is a glass Woozy bottle with plastic screw cap. Its volume has been measured at 5 fl oz [How much more do I need to say about this?]
SCP-6XXX's anomalous properties manifest when it is filled with a chili-based liquid condiment containing capsaicinoids, which is then transubstantiated into an instance of SCP-6XXX-1. SCP-6XXX-1 instances retain their prior appearance and chemical composition, but individuals who ingest SCP-6XXX-1 will expel a linear stream of flame from the mouth, the duration and intensity of the flame being proportionate to SCP-6XXX-1's pungency. Individuals report experiencing a similarly proportionate degree of pain concentrated at the mouth's interior, but exhibit no tissue damage from the flame. The flame otherwise demonstrates no anomalous properties, igniting surfaces upon contact.
Upon cessation of the flame, the individual xenoglossically acquires fluency in a new language, thereafter becoming an instance of SCP-6XXX-2. Testing has shown that the language SCP-6XXX-2 acquires corresponds to the location where the seeds of SCP-6XXX-1's chilis were planted. This language is typically ancient or prototypical, being traceable to the earliest known civilization of a given area. Amnestics have proven ineffective in removing fluency.
SCP-6XXX-1's anomalous properties persist outside of SCP-6XXX, allowing for the transfer of samples to non-anomalous bottles for further study. Repeat consumption of a SCP-6XXX-1 instance yields no further anomalous phenomena in SCP-6XXX-2 instances, except in cases where SCP-6XXX-2 is introduced to a new SCP-6XXX-1 instance.
Discovery - Incident 6XXX-01: SCP-6XXXX was discovered on []/[]/2021 at 16:35 UTC, when several Foundation personnel in Site-[]'s cafeteria witnessed Researcher Farnsworth spontaneously expel fire from the mouth, setting fire to the cafeteria. An emergency response team arrived to extinguish the flame, after which SCP-6XXX and Document 6XXX-1 was discovered at Researcher Farnsworth's seat.
VIDEO LOG
DATE: []/[]/2021
NOTE: Time recorded in UTC. Video obtained from surveillance footage of Site-[]'s cafeteria.
[BEGIN LOG]
16:34:24: Researcher Farnsworth is seated at a table, consuming a spoonful of his lunch. He swallows the contents before suddenly expelling flame from the mouth, screaming.
16:34:25: Researcher Farnsworth jumps from his seat and falls on his back, setting the table in front of him on fire. Neighboring Foundation personnel are directed to evacuate by on-site security officers, who activate the fire alarm and report the incident via handheld transceiver.
16:34:35: Researcher Farnsworth ceases flame expulsion. Emergency response personnel return to the cafeteria and extinguish the table.
16:34:35: One of the officers helps Researcher Farnsworth to his feet, asking if he is alright. Researcher Farnsworth replies frantically in Yucatec Maya. The officer escorts him out of the cafeteria.
16:35:01: SCP-6XXX and Document 6XXX-1 come into view as the smoke settles.
[END LOG]
Researcher Farnsworth was taken to the infirmary and given a clean bill of health. [Explanation of his ignorance and discovery of codex]
Document 6XXX-01: [The pungency god tasks the Foundation with spreading the word of hot sauce's goodness by increasing the world's polylingualism through hot sauce produced by the bottle.]
Hello Foundation,
Forgive my rather incendiary diversion, but I needed to ensure that you could not see me. Were it not for the cover of smoke, you might have detained me before I could have completed my delivery.
[write explanation here]
[write more here] To expedite your research, I will provide you with a set of guidelines:
*If one drinks the same elixir, the effect will not repeat.
*If one drinks an elixir of his native tongue, the effect will be redundant.
Best wishes to you. [write more here]

Item #: SCP-4XXX
Object Class: Safe
Containment: When not in testing, SCP-4XXX-1 is to be kept with SCP-4XXX-2 and SCP-4XXX-3 in its corrugated cardboard box in its cell at Site 15. Level 3 clearance is required to access SCP-4XXX
Description: SCP-4XXX-1 is a version 10A Big Muff Pi Nano by the Electro-Harmonix company. As discovered during initial inspection, SCP-4XXX-1 has no serial number. While a battery compartment and charger receptacle are present, SPC-4XXX-1 had been observed to be fully functional without a power source.
SCP-4XXX-2 is the instruction manual for SCP-4XXX-1, detailing the functions of SCP-4XXX-1's three potentiometers, defined as "Volume" (labeled "Volume" on SCP-4XXX-1), "Privacy" (labeled "Tone" on SCP-4XXX-1) and "Special" (labeled "Gain" on SCP-4XXX-1). Notably absent from the manual are details regarding current draw and voltage.
SCP-4XXX-3 is a hand-drawn schematic of SCP-4XXX-1, illustrated and personally annotated by Electro-Harmonix founder and CEO Mike Matthews. SCP-4XXX-3 is itself non-anomolous, but has provided valuable insight into the workings of SCP-4XXX-1.
SCP-4XXX-1 demonstrates its primary anomalous properties when simultaneously connected to an electric guitar and respective amplifier via ¼” instrument cables. Upon activation via its footswitch, SCP-4XXX-1 will alter the sound produced by the guitar through the amplifier to match the desired timbre of the activator. This extends to mimicry of any guitar, amplifier or effect unit combination, regardless of the activator’s musical ability. Attempts with other electric instruments have produced no anomalous results, nor have guitars paired with amplifiers designated for other instruments. Instead, SCP-4XXX-1 will behave like a non-anomalous Big Muff.
For testing, subjects were permitted to bring their own equipment to the facility, including other effect units, and instructed to play whatever they pleased. D-class personnel and those without equipment were provided with an inexpensive, expendable combination donated by Dr. ███. Of note is that when activated, SCP-4XXX-1 overrode any other effect units in the signal path, whether placed before or after SCP-4XXX-1.
Subject: Dr. ███. Guitar player with fifteen years of experience.
Result: Slightly distorted, with sonic analysis showing emphasis on the treble and middle sonic frequencies. Occasional, rhythmic instances of even greater middle frequency emphasis manifested, yielding a vocal quality.
Subject Comments: “Incredible… It’s like the 'Woman Tone', but better.”
Subject: D-3277. No musical experience.
Result: A sound typical of an acoustic, steel-string dreadnought guitar
Subject Comments: The subject reported being put at ease, reminded of listening to his father play an acoustic guitar as a child.
Subject: “Amateur” guitar player, six years of experience.
Result: A synthetic buzz with emphasis on the middle sonic frequencies, with occasional artificial vibrato. Sonic analysis after the trial showed a match to a vintage Dubreq Stylophone.
Subject Comments: “They say no Big Muff sounds alike, but this is ridiculous!”
Subject:
Result: No audible sound was produced. Five (5) minutes later, personnel reported hearing agonized “screeches” from Dr. Quater’s office. Personnel sent to inspect the office found the parakeet kept there writhing in pain on the office floor, still in its cage. Review of security footage showed no one entering Dr. Quater's office during the trial.
Subject Comments: “I never liked that damn bird.”
Note: Given that birds have a hearing range within that of humans, we can’t say that this was some frequency that only parakeets can hear. Our microphones didn’t pick up anything, either. We’re still figuring out an explanation.
Subject:
Result: No audible sound was produced. After ten (10) seconds, Researcher Alan McGuinn fell unconscious, prompting the subject to cease playing. Twenty-six (26) minutes later, after which McGuinn was placed in the Medical Bay, it was discovered that the subject had forgotten to turn SCP-4XXX-1 off. It is reported that McGuinn regained consciousness the moment that SCP-4XXX was deactivated. Medical examinations of McGuinn thereafter showed a clean bill of health, which was startling given that he had been battling [DATA EXPUNGED].
Subject Comments: No comment could be made by the subject given the nature of the trial, but he did share that for the past week, he had been praying for McGuinn's recovery. McGuinn reported hearing “the most epic fuzz tone” while unconscious.
Note: Whatever happened here is a miracle. Still, nothing on the microphones again. After the last test, one can deduce that SCP-4XXX-1 is not limited to physical manifestations of sound.
On ██/██/20██, the Foundation was able to contact █████ ███████, who claimed to have worked for Electro-Harmonix for ██ years, taking part in a number of pivotal product designs. Mr. ███████ agreed to do an interview with Agent Gus Brook on 10/██/20██.
Interviewed: █████ ███████
Interviewer: Agent Gus Brook
Foreword: The interview was performed on-site.
<Begin Log>
Agent Brook: Thanks again for coming, Mr. ███████.
█████ ███████: No problem!
Agent Brook: So, I've been hoping to talk to you about a rather remarkable product of yours. It looks like a standard Big Muff Nano, but seems capable of effecting a variety of tonal modifications. It would be much appreciated if you could shed some light on it.
(Agent Brook hands SCP-4XXX-1 over to █████ ███████ for observation)
[DATA EXPUNGED]: Uh-huh… █████ ███████ pauses for six seconds, looking over SCP-4XXX-1. I think I know what this is.
Agent Brook: You mean besides a Big Muff?
█████ ███████: █████ ███████ laughs. You see, Mike's always been an innovator. Whenever he considers a product, he doesn't just want it to be good. He wants it to be ahead of the curve. Even the vintage-inspired stuff. We got very far in that regard, until one day, we hit a wall. Mike and I were sitting in his office, trying to brainstorm something, right? Anything that could take it to the next level. Then it hits me. I turn to my boss and I say "Mike, I got an idea. We got a lot pedals that do a lot of things. Why not just make a pedal that does everything? And I mean every one of those pedals and more!" He loved it. So we set about developing a prototype.
Agent Brook: Could you explain the design to me?
█████ ███████: Sure thing. What happened was, we figured this idea was too good for the public to replicate. Keep in mind how many people like to "clone" pedals. So Mike and I decided to disguise the prototype as a Big Muff. The potentiometers, the transistors, everything in there actually contains the real circuit. I can't even begin to describe how small it is to be able to fit in such a small pedal. And it worked! We tested the design on a few builders to see if they could reproduce the prototype and all they turned out were Big Muffs!
Agent Brook: That's incredible!
█████ ███████: You bet. The best part was the battery… Mike's design, of course… That's where the magic happens.
Agent Brook: Really? If I'm not mistaken, the pedal doesn't need a battery.
█████ ███████: That's correct. However, the battery compartment's just to throw people off. The battery is much more than a power source.
Agent Brook: So it seems.
█████ ███████: Mike spent months working on it. The idea was to have a self-sustaining power supply, but he was missing some components. Eventually, he found some company called [DATA EXPUNGED] that sold him what he needed for real cheap. Incredible deal given how high-tech it was.
Agent Brook: Do you know what they sold your boss?
█████ ███████: No idea. The only one who knows is Mike. He never got into the nitty-gritty with me. Only told me that he added a special new feature. I wish I could tell you more.
Agent Brook: I see…
█████ ███████: But, he did give me a copy of the schematics. You know what, I already have a backup on my PC back home. Since you're the owner, you can have the physical paper.
(█████ ███████ reaches into his left pocket and pulls out SCP-4XXX-3. He hands SCP-4XXX-3 to Agent Brook, who stares at the document in amazement.)
Agent Brook: I… I can't believe this.
█████ ███████: Believe it, kid. Everything on that piece of paper explains every single part in that circuit. Just don't copy it!
<End Log>
Closing Statement: █████ ███████ was given Class-A amnestics after the interview and the instance of SCP-4XXX-2 on his personal computer was remotely erased. Two days later, Mr. ███████ was discovered hanging from a noose in his New York, NY apartment, holding [MEMETIC EXPUNGED]. Class-C amnestics were administered to Mr. ███████'s immediate family and the murder was covered up as a suicide. Efforts to track down the assailant and to administer Class-C amnestics to Mike Matthews are ongoing.

Observations: SCP-XXXX spent approximately fifteen (15) minutes in SCP-055's containment cell. Upon exiting, SCP-XXXX was escorted to a representative of the Antimemetics Division for factual corroboration. SCP-XXXX confirmed all prior known data, but declined to recount any other observations, citing the futility of such an effort.
Attached is the complete, uncensored list of SCP-XXXX's "to-do list". Its contents imply resolution and neutralization scenarios for numerous SCPs, some previously thought to be theoretically impossible to neutralize. As of late, several highly classified SCPs have appeared on the list; research is still ongoing as to how SCP-XXXX acquired such knowledge and whether or not it constitutes a containment breach. - O5-█

Hello.
Congratulations on finding this hidden message! I didn't want to make my edit too obvious, but I feel that this must be said.
Have you ever considered what would happen if Iris Thompson put one of her photos between the bookends? She would have complete control over the surrounding world that the bookends would project, something close to what you might call reality bending. Now imagine if Iris Thompson were to develop influence over the Supercolor 65 CL. She would have control over one's greatest desire. Put that between the bookends and she's got control over a living fantasy.
It's thoughts like these that prompted me to step in. For all of the advanced and wonderous technology that the Foundation as accumulated, for all of the good that its staff has done to safeguard the world from the incomprehensible, the Foundation is only human. They are prone to temptation, to err.
It's going to end soon. They need to be prepared. You need to be prepared.
You forget, Foundation. The darkness will always be brought to light.
Sincerely,
The Resolver
Outline:
- Dr. Anna Lang brought in to study effects of SRAs on SCP-5027
- Scientific conversation initiated. SCP-5027 is unresponsive.
- Dr. Lang eventually brings up "Living On A Prayer" and, with a hint of sorrow, notes that it was her husband's favorite song.
- The conversation turns to Dr. Robert Scranton, with Dr. Lang recallling how he was involved with the investigation of Bayard. SCP-5027 asks what he found out, only for Dr. Lang to apologetically note that that information is classified.
- A conversation about loss is had between the two, with Dr. Lang ultimately comforting SCP-5027
