Directly above this message is a photograph of SCP-XXXX.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained in a standard storage locker in Secure Site 73. It should not be held 10 meters of any other anomalous objects. A minimum of two access level 4 or higher personnel, including the Site Director of Secure Site 73, must be actively reminded of the existence of SCP-XXXX on a regular basis. This is currently delivered via an automated email to assigned personnel on a daily basis. The current location of SCP-XXXX is to be stored in no less than 3 separate servers, at least one off-site. All information pertaining to SCP-XXXX is to be preceded by a standardised message denoting its properties.
In the event of a security breach, all recovery agents directed to Secure Site 73 are to be informed of the last known location, and memetic properties of SCP-XXXX. In the event that the object cannot be relocated, a large scale search of the site for it is to be considered a high priority action once emergency protocols are lifted.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an ovoid shaped orange rock with an irregular white speckled pattern across the entire surface, approximately 35cm long from base to tip. SCP-XXXX's anomalous effect manifests as a minor compulsion affecting all those who observe it either directly or through recorded mediums, extending to information directly regarding the object. Affected individuals show a sense of disinterest in SCP-XXXX and a volume of approximately 5 metres cubed surrounding it, the strength of which is inconsistent but invariably results in subjects ignoring the object and area surrounding it without third party intervention. This effect is not antimemetic in nature - all who come into contact with SCP-XXXX can recall the event given external prompting, but will not do so without it.
Discovery: On 05/07/2015, Containment Specialist Luis Elliot reported an assault by Agent William Stephens within Elliot's onsite accommodation, Room 410, in Secure Site 45, described by both to be instigated by a disagreement over a mutual romantic interest. In the following incident inquiry it was discovered that several nearby personnel should have been able to hear and subsequently report the event, but did not. Assuming anomalous circumstance, all involved parties were interrogated and found clear of any cognitohazardous influence, the inquiry focused on a review of Elliot's housing. Stephens was reprimanded for his actions during Incident XXXX/05.07.2015
On 11/07/2015, a 1x1x1m unlocked steel cabinet containing SCP-XXXX embedded in the wall inside the shower was discovered by Agent Elizabeth English, assigned to the investigation. This is widely considered a coincidence and has been hypothesised to be as a result of multiple factors:
- Agent English was directly ordered by a superior officer to investigate the area, acting as a weak third party intervention towards recognition of the object,
- Agent English was found to be in the 10th percentile of the memetic resistance index,
- Traces of amphetamines were found in a blood sample of Agent English in a regular screening on 23/02/2016, raising the possibility that her awareness of her surroundings was heightened via cognitive enhancing stimulants during the incident.

From: O5-2
Subject: Breach of Secrecy of Site 45
Four days ago an undocumented anomalous object (now SCP-XXXX) was discovered in the accommodation of foundation Secure Site 45. The discovery of an unrecorded anomalous object built five floors deep into a facility constitutes a major security breach, which is an unacceptable risk to Foundation operation. I should need not explain the possible ramifications of a less benign object being inserted into a site using the same methodology as SCP-XXXX. Regardless, you have been given level 2 access to several objects designated as eigenweapons if the gravity of the situation is not clear.
For this reason you have been reassigned, effective Monday 20/07/2015, to lead an investigation into the circumstances behind SCP-XXXX's appearance in Site 45. 12 other personnel, service history attached, have been assigned to assist the investigation, as well as a liaison between the research team of SCP-XXXX and your investigation. Should this not be sufficient to manage your duties in a fast and organized manner, contact my office and more staff shall be assigned to your supervision.
You have been given Level 3 access to records regarding the following Divisions and Groups of Interest:
- The Chaos Insurgency
- The Serpent's Hand
- Memetics and Infohazards Division
- Counterconceptual Division
Contact RAISA should further records be required. Requests from your email will be fast-tracked.
You have until the end of the week to get your affairs in order at your previous assignment.

Subject: Analysis of SCP-XXXX
Dr Okamura,
After extensive testing of SCP-XXXX, we have come to several conclusions that might assist in your investigation. I've attached a copy of the provisional document below, but the main thing to take away is that there is no evidence the object anomalously manifested inside the site - we haven't seen it vanish in the three months it's been in our hands, and we've got no reason to think it found it's own way into a specially built container deep within a foundation site.
If you need any other information regarding SCP-XXXX, don't hesitate to contact me or anyone else assigned to the object.
Dr Laura Harris,
Head Researcher, SCP-XXXX
Interview to determine Luis Elliot's knowledge of SCP-XXXX
Interviewed: Containment Specialist Luis Elliot.
Interviewer: Senior Researcher Yoshinori Okamura.
Foreword:This interview took place inside Elliot's previous apartment, where SCP-XXXX was discovered. To help with conscious recognition of the object in video copies of this interview, SCP-XXXX's location has been specified at all times.
Okamura enters the living room carrying SCP-XXXX and sits down, placing the object on a dining table between the two.
Elliot: I've sat through god-knows how many of these post-incident interviews, but I've gotta say - it's never been from the comfort of what was my home. What gives?
Okamura: Thank you for your understanding, Mr Elliot. We'd just like to sort out a few of the details surrounding what happened two weeks ago. Can you start by describing the room we're in?
Elliot hesitates.
Elliot: If you say so… There's my kitchen through the sliding door over there, a painting I bought on sale on the far wall by the door, and my bedroom through the door to my right
Note: No item described by Elliot was within SCP-XXXXs anomalous influence's range.
Okamura: How about the table we're sitting at? Please describe it and everything on it.
Elliot begins to perspire and appears stressed.
Note: This is consistent with first confrontation of SCP-XXXX's effects.
Elliot: Well it's… nothing really. I suppose the table is wood of some sort, about 6ft by 3ft. There's a pen on the table. A black pen. Your notes. And some sort of orange? Egg? Never seen nothing like that before.
Okamura: Understood. Just before we wrap up, in your bathroom, there's a safe built into the wall, do you remember it?
Elliot: You mean the door by the toilet? Yeah, I guess so, it's always been there.
Okamura: Excuse the bluntness - did you put that there?
Elliot: Me? God no, I can't even imagine how I'd do that without pissing off all of site command at the same time. It's always been there, I never really paid it much mind. I suppose it is a bit weird now I think about it. Don't see how that's very relevant to Will trying to beat me half to death cause Cath turned him down though.
Okamura: That will be all for this interview. Thank you for your time, Mr Elliot. I'll be sure to put in a good word to the tribunal for your cooperation.
Closing Statement: Containment Specialist Luis Elliot did not appear to have any knowledge of SCP-XXXX. As such, the investigation will be assuming that the object predates his residency in Secure Site 45, or that the foundation's understanding of SCP-XXXX is fundamentally incorrect. From this an upper bound of 02/07/2008 has been established. Other previous residents of the same accommodation still in Foundation employment to be interviewed at a later date.

FLOOR PLAN OF ROOM 410, Secure Site 45
Attached is the original floor plan and a photo taken as part of a progress report of Room 410, Secure Site 45 found on the desk of Site Director [DATA EXPUNGED] following his retirement in 1975, dated at time of construction. Importantly, no evidence of the cabinet can be found in photograph, giving a lower bound of the object entering the site when the building finished construction, on 25/08/1956. As of 17/06/2018, 8 personnel have occupied Room 410, listed below:
- Site Director Steven Jones, 1956-1967. Deceased.
- Security Officer Corrine Coleman, 1967-1968. Deceased.
- Researcher Mariana D███, 1968-1973. Amnesticized and returned to civilian population.
- Agent Beksolta Vizirov, 1973-1973. Deceased.
- Researcher Owen Bradshaw, 1973-1982. Retired, Amnesticized and returned to civilian population.
- Junior Researcher Kieran Bates, 1982-1990. Deceased.
- Researcher Amelie Nolan, 1990-2001. Amnesticized and returned to civilian population.
- Security Officer Henry O'Conner, 2001-2008. Transferred off-site, recognised SCP-XXXX storage with prompting.
- Containment Specialist Luis Elliot, 2008-2015. See incident report SCP-XXXX/11.07.2015.
The working consensus is that one of the personnel listed above were responsible for SCP-XXX. Unauthorized personnel constructing a room extension like that found in Room 410 even utilizing the object's anomalous effect without bringing attention to themselves would be exceedingly difficult. Research into the deceased and amnesticized personnel's exposure to memetic hazards or compulsions that could have urged them to hide SCP-XXXX in their lodgings is ongoing.

From: Senior Researcher Yoshinori Okamura
Subject: Breakthrough on SCP-XXXX
Last night one of our AICs pulled this funding acquisition form out of the deep archives. Given that this is a gross misuse of a form meant for personal expenses and all the discrepancies the report attached mentions, our leading theory is that Mariana D███ utilised SCP-XXXX to covertly build the container for it, using the stone's properties to do so without alerting the foundation at large, before resigning shortly after.
With this new information, we have deduced that the object entered it's temporary storage in Site 45 in the 52 day period between 03/07/1973-24/08/1973. It can be assumed by D███'s attempts to secure the item herself that SCP-XXXX came under her ownership shortly before this window. RAISA wont give me access to her personnel file, so I'll leave the details on her to someone with higher clearance than me. Outside of that, I will be finalising the report to submit to O5 command by the end of the week.

FUNDING ACQUISITION FORM
REQUESTED BY: Mariana D███
SUM REQUESTED: 650 USD
REASON FOR REQUEST: To reinforce containment of SCP-████. Full proposal attached.
DATE OF REQUEST: 03/07/1973
REQUEST APPROVED
O5 COUNCIL PROPOSAL SUMMARY
SUMMARY OF MEETING:
The stalled investigation into the origins of SCP-XXXX represents a major security breach in Secure Site 45 that remains unresolved to this day. Of equal importance is the information failure it represents. SCP-XXXX could have infiltrated a Foundation Secure Site at any time over a period long enough to be declared unacceptable by Overwatch Command. Okamura's investigation reveals a black mark in foundation recordkeeping that threatens personnel morale and confidence in the foundation's ability to function on a daily basis.
PROPOSAL:
"Due to its threat to the Foundation's operation and minimal impact on scientific integrity, evidence supporting the currently leading hypothesis of the investigation regarding SCP-XXXX is to be fabricated to bring the investigation to a swift and successful close." (O5-02)

O5 Misconduct Form
Complainant: O5-05
Case Number: 016732
Allegation: Dereliction of Duty, Conflict of Interest
Accused: O5-02
Statement of Complaint: O5 Proposal-17062017 (Henceforth P-17062017) is not in the interest of the foundation at large. The dangers of outright falsifying records at such a high security clearance and unnecessary deception of key personnel pose a far greater threat to foundation unity than the minimal impact that the failure to pass P-17062017 would cause. Several members of Overwatch command have overstated the importance of P-17062017 in an attempt to cover up failures of the administration, instead of acting in the best interest of the foundation at large.
Dereliction of Duty: Chiefly among these are O5-02,who proposed P-17062017 in an attempt to hide the failures of his policy O5 surveillance policy in preventing the incursion of SCP-XXXX onto Secure Site 45, constituting gross Negligence of Duty that cannot be allowed to set a precedent of a foundation that refuses to acknowledge and learn from the mistakes of the past.
[FURTHER DATA EXPUNGED]
Ethics Council Emergency Meeting
SUMMARY OF MEETING:
A request into O5-02's conduct regarding P-17062017 found several discrepancies that could constitute dereliction of duty. Overseer response to SCP-XXXX was declared disproportionate to the threat posed by the object by a majority declaration, but action on such was agreed to be outside the powers granted to the Ethics Committee.
The Committee did not find O5-02 (formerly [DATA EXPUNGED], Site Director 45) to have a conflict of interest in duty, due to his oath upon ascension to Overseer status to remain impartial in service to the foundation. Due to the lack of consensus among the Committee, an anonymous vote regarding P-17062017 was held.
PROPOSAL:
"Overturn P-170602017"
VOTE SUMMARY:

Not part of the article just personal notes I don't wanna delete yet
The discovery of an unrecorded anomalous object built into a facility secure site constitutes a major security breach, and as a response, an immediate investigation of SCP-XXXX's origins was commissioned by the O5 council under the guidance of Senior Researcher Yoshinori Okamura at a level 1 priority. Excerpts of the investigation deemed relevant can be found below.
testing log? reinforce idea that it is minor and affects people differently - could be irrelevant and make article needlessly long
room owner is questioned, no idea. Internal panic as it proves foundation was unaware of something anomalous already in site
story follows internal investigation:
Preliminary investigation finds object has no negative effects. Use as weapon against foundation incredibly unlikely
earliest date: staff quarters building - 1940s? Floorplan denies existence of the area
-funding requisition form for project not found - found to be within ballpark of contructing area with object
-interview with room owner - inconclusive, vague 'it's always been there' which implies but does not confirm pre user moving in (2015 as working date)
eventually wears it down to a 2 week gap in some mid 70s-90s year in face of overwhelming foundation recordings that narrow it down
spoiler for level 4+ staff:
Actual date is a 15ish year gap bewteen xx/xx/19xx and xx/xx/19xx (use actual dates when it comes to it). Foundation is clueless to any more detail. The idea that the foundation is not in control of it's own sites begs question of their influence and power, would prove negative to morale and is not relevant to current containment of object, so the truth is hidden to preserve faith in the foundation. Some heavy hitting last line or something.
