Item #-SCP
Classification: Safe Neutralized
Special Containment Proceedures:
SCP is to be kept in a well-ventilated closet space which will not exceed dimensions 4'x6'x3'. SCP has displayed no anomalous properties with regards to surrounding environment or nonorganic material which comes into contact with any aspect of SCP. To this effect, there are no recommendations as to material or locking method of containment, with the exception that it be deemed suitable to adequately prevent unauthorized access to SCP, and that it be constituted of non-anomalous matter. Following order issued date _, SCP is to be contained at site , stored in a space adhering to recommended specifications. Following designation of class "Neutralized," SCP is to be contained according to the discretion of Doctor _ or superior ranking officer. Containment cell is to be monitored continuously by no less than one standard security camera.
Description:
SCP is cuboid in shape, dimensions 9"x7"x6". SCP appears to observers as a varnished wooden chest, engraved with the small iconography of a bird on its superior side, and fitted with small, gilded handles on either side. If opened, by any means, observer will be presented with an interior lined by blue-toned velvet and, during an _event, an instance of SCP-_, among other items. See Log_ for instances of found objects following _events. It should be noted that no object exceeding the dimensions of SCP, or with anomalous properties (other than SCP), has ever been recovered following a _event. Following professional consultation and material testing, the wooden exterior of SCP was found to be non-anomalous in nature and, evidently, constituted exclusively of Acer obtusatum (Bosnian or Norwegian Maple) wood, with varnish found to be derived of the resin of stated tree. Handles have been confirmed to be chiefly steel, leafed by 16-karat gold. Fittings of SCP have been left unidentified, presenting as non-anomalous, due to staff hesitation to damage SCP. Staff has concluded that the possibility of hindering the continuance of _events has proven "incompatible with organization betterment"*, and further testing of SCP's makeup has been ordered to be ceased, effective date __ by Doctor_. SCP has no observed areas of decay or wear, but staff are cautioned when handling SCP as scratches and dents made by staff have appeared on the surface of SCP, and indicates the possibility of further damage if mishandled. It should be noted that objects placed into SCP by staff have been observed to disappear in proximity to _events, and be replaced by other objects. See Log_ for testing results in this area.
SCP was recovered from , Alaska following a tip sent in from an SCP operative within the United States FDA, regarding the initiation of primary testing for an apparently anomalous drug. Upon investigation, SCP was discovered in the custody of Alaskan citizen _, who had already been detained by local authorities following a violent incident which resulted in the hospitalization of , and two others. Under primary investigation by Agent _, subject promptly confessed to ownership of SCP, and to having submitted processed instances of SCP-_ to the FDA in the hopes of commercializing the anomaly as a pain-relief drug. Subject admitted to having consumed and discovered the properties of SCP-_, after finding it inside of SCP and mistakenly recognizing it as a sprig of Myosotis, a flower which can be brewed into a tea. Interview can be reviewed under Addendum.
SCP-_ appears to an observer as a small, blue, pentamerous flower. A number of florally-inclined observers have noted a near-perfect resemblance to the flower of Myosotis, only lacking the distinct yellow fornice of aforementioned flower, which is violet-toned in SCP-__ instances. A leafless, green or woody stem has been observed to always accompany SCP-_, but testing of stated stems has proven no associated anomalous properties. SCP-_ displays no anomalous properties until ingested, or inhaled in gaseous form. Tea brews involving the use of a single instance of SCP-_ have been observed to produce symptoms up to three gallons in volume, though powderized or burned instances have produced only nausea upon ingestion. Upon ingestion or inhalation, testing subjects have universally exhibited prompt symptoms of lethargy, hearing impairment, and loss of balance, though to differing levels of intensity. Common symptoms, which develop within minutes to hours after ingestion include: temporary blindness, euphoria, hallucinations, numbness in extremities or throughout body, analgesia, global, anomic, or wernicke's aphasia, and a characteristic "tingling" sensation in the gingiva, though this symptom is not noted in every test subject. Subjects with histories of severe alcoholism have been observed to undergo delirium tremens following ingestion. It is not recommended that personnel with medical histories detailing treatment for alcoholism, or family history of alcoholism, are administered SCP-_. Of chief concern among these symptoms is that of memory loss. Subjects, following ingestion of SCP-_, universally undergo immediate loss of working, or "short-term" memory, always resulting in inability to recall testing sessions during subsequent interviews. Of note is the calming effect of the memory loss associated with SCP-_. Subjects often describe a "fog" or "curtain" that seems to "fall" over memories or scenes from life. Most subjects describe relief at having their memories annulled, even if joyful or peaceful memories are affected in conjunction with stressful or unpleasant ones. "Flashbulb," or particularly traumatic and vivid memories, appear to be especially affected. A number of subjects have been found to have replaced such memories with more pleasant ones, or now see them under a less troubling light, after investigation of psychological records. Subjects with extensive histories of psychological trauma, subjects deemed "high-risk" by personal psychologists, or subjects that already exhibit trauma-induced memory loss display elevated intensities of memory loss, some to points deemed "destructive" by Doctor_, and so have been barred from testing. Under one instance, a subject with a remarkably extensive psychological profile who had ingested a tea brewed from SCP-_ (teas being the most potent form of ingestion, followed by inhalation then raw ingestion), was observed to fall asleep during a time spanning less than one minute. Upon assessment, the subject was found to be cataplexic. CT scans revealed no evidence of stroke, or other condition which could have attributed to subject's state. Subject had volunteered for testing, and had been associated with the organization for over two dozen years. Following this incident, subjects are to be ordered to profiling prior to any testing. Extended, insistent testing on the same subject has had similar results, regardless of background. Following exhaustive testing, staff has concluded that subjects and staff will be barred from ingesting SCP-_ in any form: everyday for more than two weeks, or, once a week for more than three years. Ingesting SCP-__ with a greater infrequency than once a month has been observed to be free of serious complication, and has been permitted, though cautioned, for viable candidates. Candidates are to be read a complete list of possible untoward effects, symptoms, and risks prior to any administration. D-Class personnel may be administered SCP-___ without this stipulation.
_events have been observed with a frequency averaging approximately six weeks; the shortest interval being two days, and the longest four months. A _event is characterized by the appearance of SCP-_, often among other objects, within the interior of SCP. No differences in the outward appearance of SCP have been observed at any point in the "cycle" of _events and dormancy, and so the passing of a _event must be checked for on a bidiurnal basis. This can be completed by any member of staff receiving clearance from Doctor_, by entering SCP's containment and simply opening its lid. The passing of a _event is to be noted and conveyed to Doctor_. Any physically possible number of instances of SCP-_have been recovered following a single _event, though the number most often ranges from one to six individual "flowers." Attempts to prompt _events have proven inconclusive, and testing in this regard has been ordered to cease effective date _, under grounds that invasive testing may interrupt or stop the ___event cycle.
Administration of SCP-_, shown to be too unreliable under high-stakes conditions, is reserved for testing purposes and under the discretion of Doctor_or higher office only. SCP-_ is not to be administered as an amnestic intended to disrupt memories of specific events, especially if the event was not considered traumatic, disturbing, or occurred more than two hours before SCP-_ can be administered. SCP-_ is NOT to be SOLD, BARTERED, or otherwise TRADED under ANY circumstance, to ANYONE. Staff or D-Class found to possess instances of SCP-_ without clearance are subject to punitive action by Doctor_ or higher office. Cleared psychological workers are only permitted to administer SCP-_ following patient evaluation by no less than three disparate psychologists, and no less than one subsequent psychiatrist evaluation, all approving use. Administration of SCP-_ will be limited to that directly approved by Doctor_ effective date ___.
Addendum:
Following is a transcription of the recording made by Agent _ on _,_ police department _, Alaska. Subject, , was under detention under the charge of aggravated assault.
Interviewed:
Interviewer: Agent _
<Begin Log [14:26:03]>
Subject: "Do I know you?"
Agent: "Not likely. I'm not your lawyer. But I am your friend, Mr. _."
Subject: "No, you know about that weed stuff."
Agent: "You…"
Subject interrupts Agent _ and begins crying hysterically.
Subject: "I got it from a garage sale! It doesn't belong to me, man!"
Agent: "I'm going to need for you…"
The sound of a loud slap is audible.
Subject: "No… I mean, it does belong to me."
Agent: "Sir, hurting yourself isn't going to help you. I need to ask a few…"
Subject interrupts Agent.
Subject: "I thought it could help people! Like shell-shock people or like, I don't know… or…like…"
The sound of a slap is audible. A sigh is heard from Agent _.
Subject: "No, no, no, no, I just wanted the money, man. It's free money."
Agent: "Please stop hurting yourself."
Subject: "I made tea, it's just tea! It's like chamomile but it's a forget-me-not, but the old lady said it wasn't."
Agent: "Which old lady?"
Another slap is heard.
Subject: "She doesn't like that name, man."
Subject starts laughing nervously.
Subject: "Is this suspicious? I mean, is this gonna hurt my case?"
Agent: "I am not a lawyer."
Subject: "She grew flowers all around when I was a kid. Without the ice, you know? The box lady was like her but she had this [expletive] accent that…"
Subject snorts loudly enough to interrupt Agent beginning to speak.
Subject: "Like, I've never heard it. I thought it was a speech impediment. Glassy eyes. Frizzy hair. I just wanted a nice box with a bird on it, now I'm here. [expletive] that."
A few seconds pass in silence.
Agent: "What did you plan on doing with the drug?"
Subject: "Well, at least I wasn't selling it! Scientists… could fix it? I.. it's like weed like it's good, but I don't know for sure so, I sent it to them. They turned me in, didn't they? Big…"
A loud snort is heard.
Subject: "government. Two kids tried to jump me on the street! Took it off me. I wasn't selling it!"
Subject's voice cracks severely as his voice jumps on the word "selling." Subject begins coughing wildly.
Agent: "We're done here."
<End Log [14:32:26]>
Closing Statement:
Subject unreliable. Tried to use psychological tactics on him, didn't work. Not sure what we can use. Guess we can just let the "scientists" fix it.
Addendum:
As of _, the _event on __ is known to be the last known _event. All known instances of SCP-_ are to be contained and surveilled under the discretion and direction of Doctor_. SCP itself is to be contained according to Doctor _'s personal direction. It is unknown if staff interference, anomalous interference, or some other event has caused the cessation of _events. Regardless, SCP-_ is currently regarded as being in "limited" supply. Current supplies factor in at _lbs of contained instances or processed (brewed or dried) instances. Routines meant to check if a _event has passed are to remain ongoing indefinitely. As of , a feather, sourced from a Eremophila alpestris (Horned Lark) individual, is to remain inside of SCP. To date, the feather has not been noticeably displaced.
Following is a log of all "transactions," as well as all "gifts" that have appeared within SCP, accompanied by dates, and times between appearances and disappearances.
