SCP-XXXX-A (middle) with two other politicians, prior to its classification.
Item Number: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter Archon/Thaumiel
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the size of SCP-XXXX-B and the population of Tulsa, OK, SCP-XXXX is impossible to contain at this time. As of the XXXX/LOCOMOTION event, containment efforts of SCP-XXXX have ended until further notice. Due to the wide amnestic effects from SCP-XXXX, Site-XXXX has been established to provide current and accurate information regarding SCP-XXXX.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a Class-VII reality bender; currently in the form of a humanoid (SCP-XXXX-A) and the county of Tulsa, OK (SCP-XXXX-B). SCP-XXXX has the ability to manufacture Homo sapiens sapiens with false memories (detailed in Addendum 1). Utilizing the analyzed procedures for amnestics production have stabilized and enhanced the effects of Class-F amnestics.

The operational Rome-Ciampino base of the Dipartimento della Protezione Civile, a front agency of GoI-325.
| Project Alias: IMPERATUM |
Classification: Level 3 (Secret) |
| Status: Approved Completed, further action pending |
Project Manager: Site Director Lydia Aenaes |
Objective: Establish and maintain positive relations with the GoI-325 ("Order of Janus").
Overview: The Order of Janus (classified as GoI-325 officially, also known as the Ordo Iani or OI) is a small-scale Italian organization dedicated to the research of anomalies. The Order was founded in 79 CE by Roman emperor Titus, and is composed of around 200-300 high-ranking philosophers and scientists in a variety of specializations. The goal of the Order appears to be entirely based in the research of the anomalous, opting to release anomalous objects or concepts under scientific journals after the experimentation and research they do concludes, and has lead to frequent information breaches in the past. Under the non-anomalous front government agency of the Dipartimento della Protezione Civile, the Order specializes in historical, philosophical, and pataphysical anomalies, providing insight into methods now in use within the Foundation today. Due to the valuable knowledge presented by the Order, a concord between the Foundation would be paramount in containment and research efforts of further anomalies, as well as limiting information breaches from what would be released anomalies in the future.
Interactions between the Foundation and the Order have currently been limited. While infiltration of the Order has been partially successful in obtaining information regarding the daily activities of the group, but has been unsuccessful in attaining historical and hierarchical information. Possible gaps in knowledge include the circumstances of the creation of the Order, the high-ranking members within the Order, and the potential number of released anomalies under the Order's management.
Implementation Strategy: To establish positive relations with the Order, all infiltration of the Order is to be ceased indefinitely. A formal document is to be written, composing of a
Completion Notice: As of X/XX/XXXX, GoI-325 has formally agreed to coordinate research efforts with the Foundation as of the creation of the Principium Accord. A digital duplicate of the Accord is below.

Item Number: SCP-XXXX
Microscopic sample of SCP-XXXX-A.
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: In accordance with Project IMPERATUM, GoI-325 ("Order of Janus") is to facilitate the containment efforts of SCP-XXXX with the Pataphysics Department. Various forms of media contaminated with SCP-XXXX-A are to be held in a Biological Containment Unit at Area-DEUS. Foundation web crawlers are to regularly monitor social media websites, forums, and blogs for mentions of altered media, in combination with keywords relating to clinical depression or anxiety. A redacted report of the documentation for SCP-XXXX is to be classified as 1/GENERAL for use in identifying instances of SCP-XXXX. Personnel thought to be afflicted with SCP-XXXX-A are to be reclassified as Class-E until standard pataphysical therapy can occur.
Description: SCP-XXXX denotes a set of related pathogens and memetic hazards with pataphysical properties. SCP-XXXX-A is an extant parasitic fungal pathogen, responsible for the alteration of various forms of physical media. SCP-XXXX-A is currently hypothesized to be unable to affect organisms due to its targeting of optical discs and disc cases. SCP-XXXX-A has the ability to affect organisms (see Addendum 3). Instances of SCP-XXXX-A are characterized by orange growths present on both the disc and disc cases. SCP-XXXX-B refers to the memetic digital parallel to SCP-XXXX-A. Instances of SCP-XXXX-B are packaged most commonly in the form of fraudulent webpages or scam emails, but can be in the form of computer viruses and static images in rarer cases.
When a form of media is affected by SCP-XXXX, the narratives of the afflicted media will be warped to depict vastly different scenarios from the source material. Scenarios present within the affected media display themes of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and mental illness from the modified meta-realities. The nature of the modifications from SCP-XXXX are currently known to be permanent, with significant psychological damage to the setting and characters within the affected meta-realities. A detailed record of known SCP-XXXX instances are listed in Addendum 2.
Instances of SCP-XXXX were identified and alerted Foundation personnel when a user by the name of ██████ posted a forum thread on the "paranormal" sub-board of ████forums.net with images of an instance of SCP-XXXX-A. The thread was removed from the site, the instance of affected media was confiscated, and known witnesses were amnesticized.

Corrupted image of an unknown building within SCP-4127.
Item Number: SCP-4127
Anomaly Class: Euclid Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the infovorous nature of SCP-4127, SCP-4127 is self-containing. Despite this, the perimeter 50 meters around the approximate area of SCP-4127 has been guarded with a barbed wire fence to prevent accidental entry into SCP-4127, and a webcrawler has been set up to monitor the internet for mentions of constant snow with mentions of singular towns. Methods of research are to be investigated. If no method to research the effects of SCP-4127 are found, the use of SCP-4127 for peaceful termination of personnel is authorized. As of the events listed in Addendum 2, Foundation activity within the area of SCP-4127 is to cease to prevent further complications.
Description: SCP-4127 is the uninhabited city of [UNKNOWN], MN. The meteorological patterns within the area of SCP-4127 are anomalous- perpetual snowfall occurs within SCP-4127 regardless of the atmospheric conditions within or outside of SCP-4127. Additionally, the snowfall present within SCP-4127 appears to be infovorous in nature, and any attempts to document details of SCP-4127 past the meteorological aspects have failed.
Background: During routine monitoring of meteorological organizations on 3/11/20██, Foundation agents intercepted fragmented data regarding SCP-4127. Research and investigation of the anomaly resulted in the loss of contact with 21 researchers and agents. Due to the lack of methods of research caused by the infovorous nature of SCP-4127, personnel lost have been considered terminated and all personnel involved have received the Foundation Star.
Addendum 1: On 3/18/20██, IntSCPFN servers detected insecure access to the Foundation SCP database by Senior Researcher Farrow from an unknown antimemetic location, appearing to edit the documentation for SCP-4127. The edit provides journal transcripts of personnel within SCP-4127, as well as providing the image currently in the article. These edits have been approved, and the journal transcripts are below.
NOTE: Italics indicate notes on the sides of the journal.
March 12, 20██
Where the hell am I? Am I even sure this is the right date? I feel like I've had the biggest hangover of my life. I sure hope the rest of the crew is still here, because being alone in a place I have no idea about is probably the plot of a horror film. One moment we are investigating a potential anomaly, and the next I'm alone in a shoddy cabin with holes as windows. Very cool, anomaly-maker. Looking outside is really surreal- there's peo[DATA LOST]s far as the eyes can see.
That's interesting. The snow seems to be removing any information I put regarding the town. That could explain why I don't remember a damn thing about this place. Judging by how they are wandering around, they could be under a constant amnestic effect, which would also explain the body-aches I'm currently having.
There's a digital camera, but I'm not sure how useful that will be considering the apparent effects of the snow. There's also to be a supply of canned fruit in the cupboards, but I'm unsure of how long that will last me. Meaning I need to get out of here as quick as possible. As far as I know, I am the only one who isn't a brainless zombie wandering about, so I can't risk failing. I have a hypothesis, but I'm pretty sure it's the stupidest idea I've ever had considering how lucky I am to be sitting here, writing this right now. If I cover up completely to prevent the snow from touching me, I could possibly remember enough to get me from where I am currently to a place with a computer. Assuming the snow works the way I think it does. If I don't go, I'll die of starvation or malnutrition over the course of 2 months. If I do go, I have the possibility of dying of starvation, but it's faster and I won't remember it. I'm really screwed, aren't I? I'll update this journal when I do something, I guess.
March 13, 20██
Well, I guess it's time for an update. Sleep is nerve-racking. Since the zombie-personnel are just walking around and knocking into shit during the night, it's hard to get rest. I tried using the camera to take a picture of this big building right next to the cabin, but the snow got on the camera. The camera is surprisingly fine, actually. The image is corrupted but I'm able to make out a little bit, I guess. It's more than what I had from before, at least.
I decided to re-purpose old clothing I found in the closet of this cabin to assemble my Snow-Begone™ helmet. It's really simple, actually. I grab some tape from my bag, attach a string of clothes with the tape, wrap my head in the clothing chain, and head out. Only problem is I can't see a single thing. It's not like I have the ability to cut out eye-holes, either. if the snow touches any part of my head, I'm done for.
I think I'll try and head out tomorrow. I went through the canned fruit faster than I was expecting, and sitting around here isn't giving my colleagues more time to spare. I'll write some more if I make it into the building.
March 14, 20██
I actually did it. I'm in the building. Everything was a blur due to my helmet. This place appears to be a library with computers. I'm not a technician, so I probably can't break into the Foundation intranet from here, however. There is absolutely no food here, but there actually seems to be working plumbing. At least that means that I have roughly a month to survive, albeit fasting the entire time. Hopping into another building is a dangerous choice, especially considering the luck I needed to actually make it in here. My best bet is creating a forum post on a random board about my circumstances and pray that they have a webcrawler for that exact purpose. Not exactly a fool-proof plan, but worth a try, I guess.
March 15, 20██
Well, that was the answer I was expecting. The post got removed (presumably by the Foundation for being related to the anomaly) but without an actual message to them from myself, there's not much I can do. The only thing I could even try to do right now is check my notes to see if there was a technician within the list of people assigned to the research task I was on, find them and bring them back to the library, and have them get into the intranet- all without sacrificing my own knowledge of this place. It's way too risky. Another option is somehow finding a way to get in myself, requiring little computer knowledge- which sounds unreasonable as well.
I wonder if they have an extranet. It would make sense for internet-based anomalies to be held in, at least. The only issue with this is that I have no idea how to get in. As soon as I figure that out, I'll update this.
March 17, 20██
God, I'm hungry.
In other news, someone smacked into the library's doors and I pulled them inside. They seem to have the signs of a concussion, so I'm just going to let them sit. Judging by their badge, they appear to be a junior technician, which means I might have some luck getting into the Foundation intranet. I'll update when he wakes up.
He's awake, and he knows how to re-purpose a computer. I'm very glad I have had luck on my side this once, because I would have been dead days ago if I didn't. I guess I'll start creating a draft for the aid request, and it will be the last update I ever have in this wretched place.
March 18, 20██
Hello!
This is Senior Researcher Jane Farrow, and I am formally requesting aid regarding the loss of personnel due to SCP-4127. Research Team Romeo-Oscar-Charlie was assigned to research the effects of the anomaly, and in the process were subject to the memory loss of the infovorous effects of SCP-4127. I managed to stumble into a cabin and from there moved to a library with computers. With the help of Junior Researcher Michael Barton, we were able to log into the IntSCPFN database and modify the documentation file for SCP-4127, providing useful information regarding the specifics of my discoveries.
Addendum 2: As of 3/18/20██, MTF Eta-10 ("See No Evil") has confirmed the extraction of the 21 personnel from Research Team Romeo-Oscar-Charlie. The documentation for SCP-4127 has been updated to include more details regarding the anomaly. Due to the lack of population within SCP-4127, it has been reclassified as Safe.
