Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 are to be kept in a standard human containment cell. SCP-XXXX-1 is to have very limited contact with any other person to avoid another incident such as Incident-XXXX-B.
SCP-XXXX-1 is to be nourished via a feeding tube.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a blue weighted blanket that can manipulate the psychological state of SCP-XXXX-1, as well as other people in close proximity.
Prior to incident-XXXX-A, SCP-XXXX had an unidentified symbol printed on it and possessed the property of incinerating anything it was wrapped around. However, once the symbol was removed, it lost that ability.
People near SCP-XXXX will be tempted to touch it, and upon doing so they will develop an obsession over it, seemingly willing to do anything for it to be 'theirs.' SCP-XXXX has been shown to have lasting psychological effects, such as a lesser obsession or a slight yearning, on people that have been near it.
The blanket is usually described by SCP-XXXX-1 as being the ‘Most warm and comfortable thing on the face of the planet.’ It is yet to be found whether this is a result of the psychological effects, or if the blanket truly is unnaturally comfortable.
Note: More tests need to be performed to determine the exact parameters of it's psychological effects.
SCP-XXXX-1 is the ‘owner’ of SCP-XXXX, who is the most psychologically affected by SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1 tends to be always skeptical of everyone, believing that everyone intends to take SCP-XXXX from them. When the blanket is taken from them, or if they see a threat of losing SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX-1 will go into a state of distress and infuriation. SCP-XXXX-1 will attempt to attack whoever poses the threat, and sometimes other people near them until they retrieve the blanket, or they see no more threat, at which point they will return to a docile state.
SCP-XXXX-1 will consider the blanket more important than anything else, and will tend to do nothing except sit in containment with the blanket wrapped around them. They will refuse to eat or drink, and will usually refuse to talk to anyone.
The current identity of SCP-XXXX-1 is Dr. Samuel Gibson, a Foundation researcher.
Note: As Samuel Gibson is the first instance of SCP-XXXX-1 that the Foundation has been able to observe in containment, the description of SCP-XXXX's psychological affects and the behavior of an SCP-XXXX-1 instance may not be entirely accurate.
Addendum-XXXX-1: Prior to Incident-XXXX-A, a number of tests were performed to determine the parameters of SCP-XXXX's effects.
| Object | Results |
|---|---|
|
Block of Wood |
The wood was gradually heated, before being set alight and incinerating inside SCP-XXXX. |
|
Bottled Water |
The bottle heated up gradually. Eventually, the plastic melted and incinerated, and the water evaporated soon after. |
|
Sheet of Steel |
Once the steel was melted completely, SCP-XXXX stopped its heating. |
|
Tantalum Carbide Powder |
After only an hour, SCP-XXXX was able to melt Tantalum Carbide, reaching a new record temperature of around 3,900°C. |
|
SCP-4135-B Instance |
SCP-XXXX heated up the SCP-4135-B Instance until it reached 300,000°C, at which point the blanket stopped heating up, seemingly ‘giving up.’ Note: Attempting to melt ducks is not considered humane, Ben. |
|
Dr. E███ Coleman |
SCP-XXXX quickly incinerated Dr. Coleman. Note: This 'experiment' occurred accidentally when Dr. Coleman wrapped the blanket around himself, but it was still recorded. |
Addendum-XXXX-2; Incident-XXXX-A: Summary: Agent R███ Matthews, Agent B██ Sanders, and Dr. Peters were transporting SCP-XXXX to a new site when Agent Matthews knocked over a container of bleach within the vehicle during an inspection of SCP-XXXX by Dr. Peters. SCP-XXXX was stained by the bleach. Soon after arrival at the site, the stain was removed, along with the symbol. With the absence of the symbol, SCP-XXXX appeared to have lost its negative properties, and was only left with the property of being ‘extremely comfortable.’ Dr. Peters began to be obsessed with the blanket, and he would not let it into anyone else’s possession, even going to the length of changing the containment procedures without permission so that only he could be in possession of SCP-XXXX.
Addendum-XXXX-3: Excerpts of messages sent between Dr. Peter's fellow researchers regarding Dr. Peter's behavior.

Subject: Kyle
From: Dr. J████ Nikel
Does anyone know why Kyle didn't show up to the lab? He was supposed to bring SCP-XXXX for all of us to examine it, right? I'm pretty pissed that he didn't show.

From: Dr. S███ Staples
Yeah me too. He's been pulling crap like this a lot lately. He's been spending a lot of time with XXXX. He hasn't been himself at all. He's obsessing over that thing. He hasn't been eating, either, I don't think. I'm pretty worried about him…

From: Dr. Samuel Gibson
We should have someone talk to him about that soon. I'm worried about him too. I don't want to lose another friend in this god forsaken place. Anyway, I've contacted him multiple times about the blanket, though, and he either gets mad or doesn't answer at all.

Subject: XXXX Doc Change
From: Dr. Samuel Gibson
Peters changed the XXXX Documentation. I'll paste it into this message. This is getting out of hand. I'm gonna request a confiscation of XXXX tomorrow.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in storage, only to be taken out for experimentation. SCP-XXXX is to be kept in possession of me, Dr. Kyle Peters, indefinitely. I will not give the blanket to anyone (Especially not to Agent R███ Matthews), lend the blanket to anyone, or share the blanket with anyone for it is mine.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a blue weighted blanket with an unidentified symbol printed on it. Both the origins of SCP-XXXX and its material composition are unknown. When wrapped around something, the blanket will begin to heat that object at a steady rate, until the object inside of it has been incinerated, evaporated, or melted. The blanket is not stained by or otherwise damaged by objects it interacts with and affects.
SCP-XXXX is the comfiest, coziest blanket that has ever existed. After that nasty symbol was washed away in the transportation incident, it became completely safe to use. It keeps me so warm and comfy and safe that I almost feel like I don't need anything else in this life. All experimentation requests for SCP-XXXX must be sent to me, Dr. Peters, to be approved. Don't expect me to. It is my blanket, and only mine. Nobody else’s.

From: Dr. J████ Nikel
We should also have that talk with him you mentioned earlier. I'm tired of him hogging that blanket. He's not letting anyone else use it. Why can't we use it? I mean, shouldn't we still be researching it? It still might be dangerous, even thought the heating thing is gone.

Okay. We can do that tomorrow. And I'll talk to him.

Addendum-XXXX-4; Incident-XXXX-B: After requesting the confiscation of SCP-XXXX from Dr. Peters, Dr. Samuel Gibson and Dr. J████ Nikel, two other researchers in Dr. Peters’ researching team, confronts Dr. Peters about his obsession with SCP-XXXX. The incident occurred in an interview room and was recorded by Dr. Nikel from the outside. Nikel had started recording and left before Dr. Peters attacked Dr. Gibson.
Incident-XXXX-B, as recorded by Dr. J████ Nikel

[BEGIN LOG]
DR. GIBSON ENTERS THE INTERVIEW ROOM, WHERE DR. PETERS SITS WITH SCP-XXXX WRAPPED AROUND HIM
Dr. Peters: Hello, Sam.
Dr. Gibson: How are you, Kyle?
Dr. Peters: (Wraps blanket more tightly around himself) What are you here for?
Dr. Gibson: I'm here to talk to you about that blanket of yours.
Dr. Peters: You can't have it!
Dr. Gibson: I'm not here to try to take it from you.
Dr. Peters: Yes you are! You all want to take it from me!
Dr. Gibson: Kyle, this isn't healthy.
Dr. Peters: Go away!
Dr. Gibson: We're all worried about you.
Dr. Peters: (Begins to shake) You can't take it from me!
Dr. Gibson: Kyle, stop it! You can't keep acting like this! It's like you're a child!
Dr. Peters: Sh-Shut up.
Dr. Gibson: (Sighs whilst massaging his forehead, then is quiet for a moment) I’ve already put in a request for the blanket to be confiscated from you.
Dr. Peters: What?
Dr. Gibson: You’re obsessed, Kyle. It’s interfering with your work.
Dr. Peters: I knew it! You wanted it from me! You’re going to take it! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!
Dr. Gibson: (Stands up to leave)
Dr. Peters: (Lunges out of his chair at Dr. Gibson) I’ll kill you!
DR. PETERS ATTEMPTS TO STRANGLE DR. GIBSON AND THE TWO END UP IN A FISTFIGHT WITH EACH OTHER. DURING THE FIGHT, THE BLANKET TOUCHES DR. GIBSON. DR. GIBSON SEIZES THE BLANKET FROM DR. PETERS WHILE YELLING INCOHERENTLY. DR. GIBSON AND DR. PETERS PROCEED TO FIGHT OVER THE BLANKET FOR THE NEXT FEW SECONDS. THE FIGHT ENDS WITH GIBSON STRANGLING PETERS TO DEATH WITH SCP-XXXX.
[END LOG]
When Dr. Gibson was recovered from the interview room, he refused to part with XXXX. He threatened anyone who came near him, until he was restrained and taken into containment. After reviewing Dr. Nikel's footage, Foundation workers were warned not to touch the blanket.
Samuel Gibson's psychological state was tested, along with J████ Nikel's and the rest of Peter's research team. The results showed that all of them had or still have a yearning or obsession of the blanket, the degree of such varying, as well as temptations to touch it while it was nearby. It was determined that SCP-XXXX had a psychological effect upon people, especially its owner, and SCP-XXXX was given new containment procedures, and new documentation.
Note: "I believe that this blanket was made to kill people. And so, in one way or another, it will do that, whether by cooking people or turning people against each other. So instead, we lock away Sam and this blanket. At this point, I’m just hoping that there aren’t more objects like this one out there. If there were enough of them, I believe it could lead to some major casualties." -Dr. P████ Morris
