Special Containment Procedures: Assuming theory one, SCP – XXXX has already infected every living human. A containment is thereby impossible.
Assuming theory two, the anomaly can be easily contained, by keeping civilians away from SCP – XXXX – 1.
SCP – XXXX – 1 can be used as a normal Foundation Site. Only the SCP’s, that were stationed there previously may be kept in SCP – XXXX – 1 until further notice. The data SCP – XXXX – 1 provides may be used to create containment procedures. Those anomalies must be transferred into SCP custody.
Everything, which could be considered a piece of art. Must be removed from SCP – XXXX – 1.
All testing of SCP – XXXX’s effect on former employees of the ‚Kaiser Foundation’ or members of the group ‘Are We Cool Yet’ is prohibited by order of the ethic committee. Kaiser Foundation personnel should be monitored until further notice.

Description: SCP – XXXX is an informational hazard. The effect of which is triggered by entering SCP – XXXX – 1; a containment site in ████. In construction and purpose not unlike a SCP – Foundation site, although apparently created by the ‚Kaiser Foundation‘. The containment site was labeled ‚KF – Site – 02‘¹
When an individual enters SCP – XXXX – 1, they may gain knowledge of the Kaiser foundation.
There are two theories about the precise nature of SCP – XXXX:
Theory one: Everyone has lost their memory of the Kaiser Foundation, because of an antimemetic effect, SCP – XXXX. For some reason entering SCP – XXXX – 1 is canceling out this effect; so people, who had previous knowledge of the Kaiser Foundation, regain their memory. This theory is supported by the sheer size of data found in the KF database. In this data, records of an antimemetic entity called ‘the Great Deer’ were found that apparently attacked the Kaiser Foundation. Another factor that supports this theory is the existence of KF – Site – 01, that was found in the ████ dessert.
Theory two: The Kaiser Foundation never existed and entering SCP – XXXX – 1 modifies the memory of random people. This is supported by the effect SCP – XXXX has on the people that were supposed Employees of the Kaiser Foundation (See interview log XXXX – b).
In SCP – XXXX – 1, several other anomalies were found that are now in SCP custody. The KF database also contained security protocols for those anomalies that are now used by the SCP Foundation.
SCP – XXXX came to the foundations attention after information about the Kaiser Foundation were found in SCP database. SCP personnel did not know of the origin, which is still an open question, since no date or researcher signature was found.
Immediately after the anomaly was discovered, the employees of the antimemetics department, who are constantly supplied with nestics, were questioned about the Kaiser Foundation. No member of the department seemed to possess any knowledge about it. This could have multiple explanations:
Since the Kaiser Foundation was comparatively small, not many personnel were assigned to monitor the group. It is entirely possible, that the information about the existence of the Kaiser Foundation never reached the antimemetics department.
Of course, some see this as evidence that the Kaiser Foundation did not exist.
A highly improbable third option is, that SCP - XXXX is an antmemetic phenomenon, that through unknown means, is strong enough to cancel out nestics. This is extremely unlikely. However, if enough evidence is found to support the theory, SCP - XXXX must be [Data Expunged]

KF – Site – 02 Back entrance

Addendum XXXX.1: Description of the Kaiser Foundation.

The following is a description of the Kaiser Foundation as presented in the data found in SCP – XXXX – 1 and in the SCP Database:
The Kaiser Foundation was founded by Robert ████ and ████ ████. It had the purpose to contain anomalies and to keep them from the public eye. They only operated on an European scale.
While the foundation was originally founded 13.03.20██, the SCP Foundation noticed them first in 20██, when KF personnel █████████ ███████. The SCP – Foundation intended to get in contact with the Kaiser Foundation, but presumably around this time SCP – XXXX’s effect started to erase the memory of personnel, so no contact was made.
The Kaiser Foundation did not have any link to other groups of interest (besides partially the church of the broken god) and was generally underdeveloped for a task of that magnitude. Another factor, which put them at a disadvantage was a greater compassion they showed towards the anomalies. This did not only drain their resources, but also led them to drastically underestimate some of the anomalies they were dealing with
Judging by the data presented, one can safely assume, that the Kaiser Foundation would be defenseless against an organization such as 'Are we Cool Yet'.

Addendum XXXX.2: Interview

Note: This interview was conducted between Dr. Arcath and Charles Ariail, a former KF employee (according to the database of ‘Site 02’). Like all other KF personnel, he seemed to have no memory of the Kaiser Foundation. When shown SCP – XXXX – 1 he seemingly didn’t recognize it. The interview starts right after Mr. Ariail enters SCP – XXXX – 1.

Dr. Arcath: Does anything look familiar to you, Mr. Ariail.

Ariail: Oh god. These halls. I remember going through them. But that (Ariail seems highly distressed and tries to escape SCP – XXXX – 1. However, SCP personnel held him back)

Dr. Arcath: Mr. Ariail calm down. What do you remember?

Ariail: They attacked us (illegible; at this point the audio is heavily distorted and Dr. Arcath cannot remember, what Mr. Ariail said) with their antlers made out of such black light (illegible).

Dr. Arcath: That is the funniest thing I ever heard. (Sounds as if he’s about to cry)

(illegible)

Ariail or Arcath: Are we cool yet?

SCP personnel found this interview in the SCP database; Dr. Arcath claims, never to have spoken to Charles Ariail. Moreover, while he was listed as an employee in SCP – 5234 – 1, the SCP Foundation could not find him in his home town, with his wife reporting him missing.
This heavily suggests SCP – XXXX modifies memories. Thereby the second theory seems more plausible.
Originally, another interview was planned, but the ethic committee prohibited that request. They raised the possibility that, after the approval of the committee, the researchers would conduct an interview, then immediately forget about it and then conduct another one and so on.
Because of the same reasoning members of ‘Are We Cool Yet’ also should not be questioned inside of SCP – XXXX – 1.

Addendum XXXX.3: KF Articles

The following is an example of a KF Article:
Ano. (short form of ‚Anomaly‘) <(Number)>
Danger level: (For example) 3/8 (The first number stands for the threat the anomaly presents in containment; the second number represents the threat in case of a containment breach. If the anomaly cannot be contained, in this example it would read ?/8. If the anomaly is, what we consider Thaumiel, it would change to -1/8. In the presented scale, 0 would represent an anomaly that can’t attack, or defend in any way and has no intention of harming someone. The number tree represents a human level strength. The highest number, 21, describes a godlike entity, that has the means and intention, to destroy reality, without any way to stop it.)

Security Protocols:

The following is a direct example of such a document found in the database of
SCP – 5234 – 1:

Ano. 01
Danger level: 11/21

Description:
This anomaly appears as a normal Brother…

Security Protocols:
The anomaly is currently contained in a 5 x 5 x 5 Meter room…

Addendum XXXX.4: List of anomalies found in SCP – XXXX – 1.

Anomalies previously known by the foundation:
SCP – 705: Found in a room resembling a children day-care centre. No anomalous activity could be detected, but the play-doh strongly resembled SCP – 705. Some of the figures held up signs reading: ‘There shall be piece now’.
SCP – 799: A small population, seemingly completely overfed, but they do not reproduce for some reason. They were fed plankton.
SCP – 1507: Although still looking plasticky, they behave like normal flamingos. They were fed some kind of shrimp.
SCP – 3199: A large population in an underground forest. No instance of SCP – 3199 shows any hostility towards personnel. According to MTF Gamma – 71 (Mud Skippers), that made the first exploration into SCP – 5234 – 1, instances of SCP – 3199 liked to play fetch with sticks and often wanted to get pet. A further examination of the forest showed, that around 25% of the plant matter consisted of sugar.
Even though the containment procedures for the SCPs in the KF facility seemed effective, the ethics committee is reluctant to use them on the anomalies currently in SCP custody; probably because of the questionable source.

Anomalies that were newly discovered in SCP – XXXX – 1:
(Redacted)
Newly discovered anomalies should be assigned new articles.

Addendum XXXX.5: Failed Tests 

Note: This is a list of tests conducted by Dr. Arcath to reveal the nature of SCP-XXXX:
Test Nr. 1
Test status: Failed
Dr. █████ worked in the department that, according to the new memories, monitored the Kaiser Foundation. Therefore, it is reasonable to suggest, that he had prior knowledge of the foundation. He will be given nestics. If he does remember something about the Kaiser Foundation, the existence of the Foundation is proven.
If he does not gain any memories, he will be sent into SCP-XXXX-1. If he gains new memories upon entering KF – Site – 02, it is proven, that the Kaiser Foundation has never existed. (Or that SCP-XXXX has powers which can render nestics ineffective).
If he still does not gain new memories after entering SCP-XXXX-1, no theory is supported. If this happens the test will be marked as failed.

Result: Upon taking the nestic, Dr. █████ seems to have no new memory.
After entering he still does not remember the Kaiser Foundation.

Test Nr. 2
Test status: Failed
Under the same circumstances, test Nr. 2 was conducted with an MTF member that was stationed in █████, when the SCP-Foundation made first contact with the Kaiser Foundation, according to the SCP database.

Result: Failed

Test Nr. 3
Test status: Failed
Under the same circumstances, test Nr. 2 was conducted with an SCP with antmemetic training.

Result: Failed

Addendum XXXX.6: Theories about SCP – XXXXs nature 

Note: The following are theories discarding the influence of the Group ‘Are We Cool Yet’ on the anomaly. Both theories were created by the head researcher, Dr. Arcath.
If going with the first theory of the nature of SCP – XXXX, one can assume that ‘Are We Cool Yet’ is somehow responsible for the antimemetic effect and that the ‘Great Deers’ don’t actually exist. Maybe the “artists” in the group wanted to show, how easy an organization like the SCP – Foundation could just be forgotten.
By assuming the second theory, researcher ███████ considered, that ‘Are We Cool Yet’ used this facility as a dump for failed art pieces.
