Special Containment Procedures:
All hosts of SCP-XXXX are to be approached immediately upon detection of manifestation by an assigned supervisor and monitored for the entire length of SCP-XXXX manifestation. Personnel are not to attempt to apprehend or interview the host unless invited to do so. Should permission be given, supervisor is to immediately contact Dr. Genevieve, director of the Department of Essophysics. Amnestics must not be used on an active host of SCP-XXXX under any circumstances. Upon demanifestation, any records created by the host of SCP-XXXX must be appropriated by the Foundation and either preserved or destroyed according to decision by the O5 Council.

The true nature of SCP-XXXX must be obscured from all Foundation personnel, including those assigned to monitor hosts, in order to prevent a BK-Class "Lifted Veil" scenario. Such information is exclusive to members of the O5 Council and Dr. Genevieve.

Description:
SCP-XXXX describes itself as an essophysical embodiment of knowledge. As of 3/8/20██, there is no evidence contrary to this claim. SCP-XXXX manifests as a second conscious inhabiting a human host for no more than thirty-six hours at a time.. The human's original consciousness maintains control of their body, but can communicate with SCP-XXXX through thought.

SCP-XXXX's primary anomalous factor is its capability to provide intricately detailed information on any object, person, organization, concept, or phenomenon related to the anomalous. SCP-XXXX can demanifest from one host and remanifest in another at will, making containment effectively impossible, as any attempt at apprehension becomes fruitless once SCP-XXXX has left the host's body. Upon demanifestation, any knowledge of or provided by SCP-XXXX seems to be erased from the host's mind. Former hosts do not retain any anomalous properties.

According to interviews (see addendum XXXX.1), SCP-XXXX uses she/her pronouns and refers to itself as Dorothy. Requests for further self-description have met with failure.

Addendum XXXX.1: Interview with first discovered host

<draft author note: interviewee name is a placeholder, will be changed during review>

Interviewed: L████ B██████

Interviewer: Dr. Alba Genevieve, director, Department of Essophysics

Foreword: L████ B██████ contacted Dr. Genevieve through her work email requesting to be interviewed, offering information on an as-of-yet undocumented essophysical embodiement.

<Begin Log, 11/8/20██ 15:25:54>

Genevieve: Before we begin, please state your name and why you're here.

L████: Can do! My name is L████ B██████, and I've got the sentient manifestation of the very concept of knowledge in my brain today.

Genevieve: That's a big claim, you know.

L████: What'd be enough to prove it to you? I could talk about what happened to Site-17 in 2003, why Ethan Horowitz became SCP-4260, where Beta Cancri goes in the summer-

Genevieve: That's more than enough, thank you. I believe you. I don't want to have to take amnestics after this interview is done.

L████: Oh, good point, sorry. In any case, yeah. I can just wonder about something anomalous in my head, and Dot will pull up answers for me. Secrets about the Foundation, secrets *to* the Foundation, you name it.

Genevieve: Dot?

L████: Oh, yeah, that's her name. Or a nickname I gave her, really. Her full name is Dorothy.

Genevieve: I see. Tell me about what made you decide to contact me.

L████: Well, when I woke up this morning, there was one more person in my head than there was when I went to sleep. She mainly talks in concepts in the headspace, so she gave me info about herself and what she is, along with the fact that she'll only be in here for 36 hours before she moves on to a new host. I wanted to tell someone about it, but there's so much freaky anomalous shit that I know about now that anyone reasonable would think I'm crazy.

Genevieve: So you decided to come to me.

L████: Pretty much. I asked Dot who would be best to tell about her, and she told me your name, email, history with the foundation, and your experience with essophysics.

[Dr. Genevieve shifts in her chair.]

Genevieve: I…see. Is there anything specific you want to tell me about it?

L████: First off, I'm fine with you taking whatever measurements you want to while Dot's still here. It feels like that'd be helpful for drafting up procedures. Also, don't use amnestics on Dot's host while she's still there. Making the embodiment of knowledge as a concept forget something is…probably not a good idea.

Genevieve: I'm assuming you're aware of the fact that the Foundation doesn't exactly let anomalies write their own containment procedures.

L████: Oh, of course, of course. I just *also* know that this interview is on record and is gonna be included in the file once you're done.

Genevieve: I guess I can't argue with that. Tell me, then: what's going to happen to you once the thirty-six hours are up?

L████: Once Dot moves on to her next host, I'm gonna go back to normal. Well, not *normal* normal, I'm a bit too neurodivergent for that, but I won't know anything related anomalies or that Dot was ever here. I'm basically Dot's own experiment; seeing what a random person would do if they had access to all the secrets of the world for a day. It keeps her occupied.

Genevieve: How has this not resulted in a BK-Class "Lifted Veil" scenario yet?

L████: That'd ruin her fun. If everyone knew about anomalies all the time, she wouldn't be able to see what people would do with the knowledge. If someone tries to reveal it to someone not in the know, she leaves, and they forget everything before they can hit send.

Genevieve: I see. Is there anything else that would cause it to demanifest early?

L████: Being contained against the host's will, definitely. Can't see what someone would do if they aren't allowed to do what they want to. Also, don't expect Foundation personnel or any of your people of interest to be hosts - Dot takes newbies only.

Genevieve: That makes sense, given her goals. Thank you for talking with me. We're going to do some tests on you now, so come with me.

Closing Statement: Dr. Genevieve confirmed the claims made by L████ B██████ about the nature of SCP-XXXX. L████ B██████ agreed to stay in Foundation custody until SCP-XXXX demanifested on 11/9/20██ at 8:17:04. L████ B██████ was administered Class-C amnestics and released without surveillance after confirming that all anomalous effects had ceased.
