Instance of SCP-0331 recovered from a 'flea market' in Seattle, Washington, USA
Item #: SCP-0331
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-0331 are to be kept in a Secure Storage Vault at Site-66. Instances are to be handled with any form of glove to create a barrier between SCP-0331 and bare skin. Subjects who make bare skin contact with an instance of SCP-0331 are to be confined to any Site-66 subterranean level they previously had access to. Subjects confirmed to have regressed to SCP-0331-1C shall be terminated. D-Class personnel exposed to an instance of SCP-0331 shall be terminated pending the completion of any current testing.
Description: [Instances of SCP-0331 present as a clay disk measuring 2.5cm in diameter. A hole measuring 0.5cm in diameter appears to have been machine carved in the center of the disk. One side of the clay disk is completely flat. Opposing side holds a carving of several seashells in a circle along the outer rim of the disk, with a string of beads circling the central hole. Instances are found with either rope, leather, or metal banding looped through the central hole so as to allow instances of SCP-0331-1A to wear SCP-0331 around the neck.
SCP-0331 does not exhibit any anomalous properties other than an ability to be broken by any physical means. Foundation testing has utilized multiple impact tools, including hydraulic presses and explosives, and found no means of successfully impacting an SCP-0331.
SCP-0331 appears to be a euclid-memetic class object that is triggered by making contact with bare skin (hereby referred to as 'exposure'). Individuals exposed to SCP-0331 are classified as instances of SCP-0331-1, with a modifier indicator of A, B, or C to signal how affected they are. SCP-0331 typically manifests as an item found in economically-lower or 'bargain' stores. There is historical precedent for SCP-0331 being disseminated through populations as mass gifts from community leaders/organizational leaders/employers, though whether this is intentional or incidental has yet to be determined. SCP-0331's creator has not been discovered.
SCP-0331's memetic effect appear to have three distinct stages. To date, all instances of SCP-0331-1 show progression of A-C in order; no instances have retroactively progressed.
Instances of SCP-0331-1A do not display any unusual physical or physiological modifications. SCP-0331-1A instances declare significantly decreased appetite and increased determination to complete any tasks assigned to the instance by a superior, other than resting. When offered food, SCP-0331-1A will refuse and state that they need to finish their work. If blocked from completing assigned tasks, SCP-0331-1A will become increasingly agitated and try to physically move the obstacle, whether inanimate or living, but will not become violent. When acknowledging new tasks given by SPC-0331-1A instance's supervisor, SPC-0331-1A will reply with "For the good of us all, I go" in subject's native language.
Instances of SCP-0331-1B will present with hyperhidrosis and extreme exhaustion. Any physical labor performed appears to inflict the affected subject with extreme dyspnea. Quality of work performed is not affected by these symptoms. SCP-0331-1B will be unable to sustain any form of conversation, instead excusing themselves stating they have important work to do. SCP-0331-1B will be still be able to accept new tasks with the reply "For the good of us all, I go" in subject's native language. Testing indicates SCP-0331-1B will easily accept orders from anyone claiming to be in charge of them and will not verify if there has been a change of authority. If blocked from completing assigned tasks, SCP-0331-1B will immediately display aggression against the obstacle. Instances will become violent against inanimate obstacles, and will begin pleading with the obstacle if it is sentient. Instances appear to believe that there will be dire consequences for SCP-0331-1B subjects' loved ones if tasks are not completed.
SCP-0331-1C instances present with extreme hyperhidrosis, extreme exhaustion, and extreme dyspnea. Instances will continuously perform the last task they were assigned as SCP-0331-1B. Any attempts to give orders will be met with the reply "For the good of us all, I go" but no change in behavior. SCP-0331-1C do not display a need for sleep or food. It is suggested that SCP-0331-1C be considered non-sapient, pending approval of the Ethics Committee.
History:
Foundation Historians have found evidence that SCP-0331 instances were involved, either indirectly or directly, in multiple events from the Industrial Era and on, such as recovery of multiple instances found on the bodies of victims in the ████████ ██████████ Factory fire in 19██ and photographic evidence of workers wearing SCP-0331 during the construction of the RMS ███████ in 19██.
SCP-0331 was brought to the Foundation's attention by agents embedded in the Soviet VMF who alerted them to a missing █████████ "██████" Class Nuclear Submarine due to an apparent anomalous event. The "██████" was on a patrol through the Arctic Ocean when it went silent, missing several scheduled radio contacts with the VMF's Northern Flotilla. After two months of silence, listening posts along Russia's northern border detected a repeating transmission of a monotone, Russian-sounding, male speaker repeating voice the phrase "Для блага всех, я иду" (translation: For the good of everyone, I go). Tracking of the transmission source was along the travel path of the "██████". Foundation misinformation assets began a campaign of misleading both Soviet and NATO authorities to ensure the Foundation would be undisturbed in efforts to recover the "██████". After 17 days of search, the "██████" was discovered surfaced traveling at 5 knots near the coast of ████. MTF-Pi-11 "Horsemen" boarded the submersible and found no resistance though the entire compliment of ██ sailors and officers were alive. It was later determined the entire crew had become instances of SCP-0331-1C. It is believed that SCP-0331 was distributed among the crew as a gift from the boat's skipper.
