Recorded SCP-XXXX instance in Birmingham, UK.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Betta-31 ("Dumb Tourists") is tasked with tracking, isolating, and documenting SCP-XXXX manifestations worldwide. Foundation-made webcrawlers are to search for and delete any mentions of reports matching SCP-XXXX's description.

In the event of an SCP-XXXX manifestation, MTF Betta-31 is to quarantine the locale of activity and restrict access to it. Civilians that interacted with or observed SCP-XXXX instances are to be administered Class-B amnestics.

A block of concrete containing a SCP-XXXX instance (denominated SCP-XXXX-23) is kept inside a standard security locker at Site-167 for communication and research purposes. Personnel must score 75 or higher on a Cognitive Resistance Value (CRV) evaluation before communicating with SCP-XXXX-1-23.

Description: SCP-XXXX are written messages (collectively designated SCP-XXXX-1) that spontaneously appear upon an surface close to a affected individual¹. The contents of SCP-XXXX-1 are usually extremely vulgar, crass, or defamatory, and include threats of violence and bodily harm.

An excerpt of a recorded SCP-XXXX-1 instance is displayed below:

hey hey hey HEY!!! it's me. remember me

SCP-XXXX-1 instances can be communicated upon by writing² on a surface next to it; they will then proceed to anomalously erase themselves and include a new message. It is unknown whether SCP-XXXX-1 are sapient or controlled externally by another entity or entities. (See Interview Log-XXXX.)
