Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a soundproof humanoid containment cell at Site-17. Any personnel that is to be added to SCP-XXXX's research team, or will be making use of SCP-XXXX for the research of other SCP's, must first meet SCP-XXXX alone within its containment chamber.
While alone with SCP-XXXX, personnel must divulge to it all Foundation security passwords they have created for their position, as well as any secrets about themselves that could be used as blackmail by SCP-XXXX to breach containment. To ensure that personnel feel comfortable confessing to SCP-XXXX, no recording of these meetings is to take place. Any requests for additional meetings with SCP-XXXX are to be granted, and any reasons for these requests are not required to be provided.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a human male of 20 years, whose anomalous properties manifest as the ability to know everything that an individual has not said about themselves instead of what they have. This effect will occur involuntarily by SCP-XXXX upon direct interaction between it and any subject. After initial contact, any information an individual does convey about themselves to SCP-XXXX is immediately forgotten by SCP-XXXX and cannot be relearned. If an individual were to introduce themselves to SCP-XXXX and only give it their name, rather than learning their name, SCP-XXXX would learn every detail that individual could have said about themselves aside from their name. For additional details on SCP-XXXX's effects, see test logs.
SCP-XXXX entered Foundation custody on ██/██/2018 after being escorted to Site-17 by Field Agent ██████. Upon its arrival, SCP-XXXX requested to enter containment voluntarily, provided that it would have its memories of life outside of containment removed. SCP-XXXX divulged that it had learned of the Foundation's existence after encountering Field Agent ██████, and had become curious after Field Agent ██████ did not truthfully state what they did for a living.
Interview XXXX-1
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Brink: Hello, SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX: Hello Doctor.
Doctor Brink reaches out a hand, SCP-XXXX does not shake it.
Dr. Brink: Is… something wrong?
SCP-XXXX: Wash your hands, please. Or at least don't use the restroom before coming here.
Dr. Brink: I suppose we can forgeo the hand shake. How are you feeling?
SCP-XXXX: Fine. Are you going to ask me the questions you wrote down? Or should I just go ahead?
Dr. Brink: For the sake of our records I am going to ask them, yes. Why did you come to containment?
SCP-XXXX is silent, and continues to stare at the interview table
Dr. Brink: SCP-XXXX?
SCP-XXXX: Sorry, I've just never really had the chance to explain what this is like. At least, not without worrying about the person reacting badly, or even violently. Whenever I needed to tell someone, I'd have to prove it, or they'd think I'm mentally ill. After I would…. well, there's this moment, and you can see it happen in their faces, when they suddenly realize that I know every little horrible thing about them. They'll say I'm insane to cover themselves, or threaten me to make sure I don't tell anyone else. They never just admit it so I can forget. They can't trust that I really do.
Dr. Brink: So is it for safety? Coming to the Foundation seems a bit extreme for that. Why not just live alone?
SCP-XXXX: What do you think I've been doing? It's not about safety. I still know. I still remember everything. Every person who's ever said hello to me, or who'd ask me the time, I still know everything about them. Every disgusting, depraved, selfish, ill-meaning thing about them. When you talk to people outside, they probably tell you how proud they are of their children, or how they love your hair. Those things get taken from me the moment they mention them. What they don’t tell you is how they want to [REDACTED], or that they just wish [REDACTED]. Those are the things I hear instead. Even if I lived alone, I can't forget the things I know, and I can't stop people from entering my life forever. Every so often I can't help but give into how lonely it gets. At least I'm locked up here. Gone cold turkey from people now.
Dr. Brink: You don’t seem to object to meeting new staff. Are they not people?
SCP-XXXX: It's different here. I'm actually really happy about it so far. I think you all just tell me the bad things about yourselves. At least, that’s what I’m guessing. I don't seem to know anything that horrible about any of you. I just know all the nice things about you instead, like how you visit your kids' rooms every morning before going to work just to see them sleeping. Or how researcher Brown thanks the site's janitors and cafeteria workers every day. I actually feel safe here. Or, I don't know, maybe I'm just so desperate to like people for once.
Dr. Brink: Don't you miss anyone? Your parents? Friends?
SCP-XXXX: I had a dog once, but it passed. I knew it loved me, and because it couldn't tell me it loved me, I didn't have to worry about losing knowing that. Not like when my parents must have told me. At least I'm guessing they told me. I don't remember if they do or don't. I don't even know who they are, because they must have told me that as well.
Dr. Brink: If we could restore some of your knowledge, like who your parents are, would you be interested?
SCP-XXXX: So I can miss them? I'm fine, thank you.
Dr. Brink: Hopefully the Foundation can find something to help with your condition.
SCP-XXXX: For only altruistic reasons, I'm sure. But if you can get all this knowledge out of my head, you can do whatever you want.

Initial Test Logs
Subjects used in testing SCP-XXXX will be Researchers Brown and Patey. D-Class will not be used, both because we cannot confirm truthful information regarding D-Class personnel, and in order to avoid unnecessary distress to SCP-XXXX during testing. - Dr. Brink
Researcher Patey has since proposed the use of SCP-XXXX to interview other SCP's at Site-17, as SCP-XXXX could uncover information not divulged by other sentient SCP's. Initial efforts into this process have been approved by the Site Director.
Interview XXXX-2
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Brink: Hello, SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX: Hello Doctor.
Doctor Brink reaches out a hand, SCP-XXXX reaches out its own hand and shakes it.
SCP-XXXX: Better.
Dr. Brink: I've found it's easier to be cleaner than it is to try and tell you everything I don't want you to know.
SCP-XXXX: Ask your question.
Dr. Brink: Not much for small talk are you.
SCP-XXXX: About me, yes. Not about you. You doing small talk means getting to know you. Getting to know you means knowing less about you. The question, please.
Dr. Brink: The foundation was wondering if you'd consider helping us, by interviewing other anomalous individuals such as yourself. Tell us what they aren't saying.
SCP-XXXX: I'm not interviewing anything you have here until I can get a guaranteed way to forget whatever I dig up.
Dr. Brink: Even if the foundation provides you with an SCP we guarantee is benign?
SCP-XXXX: You don't know what you don't know. Figure out a way to fix me first.
Dr. Brink: Depending on what you could uncover, you may save countless lives. Many people would be in your debt if you helped us.
SCP-XXXX: I don't want to help people. People are horrible, and I know it. It's the whole reason I'm here. Fix me, and I'd probably be a lot more agreeable about this.
Dr. Brink: Understandable. Is there anything we can do to make your time here more pleasant?
SCP-XXXX: Am I able to get some books? Something to pass the time?
Dr. Brink: What kind would you like?
SCP-XXXX: Mystery, preferably. I don’t get to enjoy mysteries normally.
Dr. Brink: Oh? You know I love a series called-
SCP-XXXX: I know. Please don't tell me. I'd like to share that feeling.
Dr. Brink: Right, sorry. It’s a shame, I know I have a pile of the series somewhere in my house, I just don’t remember where. I suppose I couldn’t ask you where they were?
SCP-XXXX: If you knew, I'd tell you.
Dr. Brink: I'll see if I can do some digging. Don't be worried about damaging them, they're already in rough shape from how much- well, I guess you know.
SCP-XXXX: I do. Thank you, David. I appreciate it.
Dr. Brink: Thank you for your time, SCP-XXXX.
[END LOG]
Despite SCP-XXXX's reluctance to aid in Foundation efforts, SCP-XXXX's research team has been requested to explore alternate methods to motivate SCP-XXXX in order to utilize its abilities. This request has been forwarded by the Site Director from the O5 Council after a Council discussion regarding the risks and benefits of SCP-XXXX's abilities. The vote had passed to utilize SCP-XXXX in a decision of 11 to 2.
VVVVVVV everything below this make collapsable
So, how do you think we get him to crack.
You don't have to use the word crack. It's not exactly an interrogation.
Why don't we just offer to mind wipe the people bothering him in his head the most? We know who they are, and we know exactly where a lot of them live and work too thanks to SCP-XXXX's ability. We don't even have to use up amnestics if the O5 doesn't want to, we can just bring them in and have them confess under the guise of being law enforcement.
That doesn't solve the problem. He doesn't want to interview any SCP's because he's worried about what they know. Easing his mind wont change that
We could ease his mind and then threaten him with interviewing D-Class.
We're not threatening him.
Why not? I hate to be the only one to see it but the potential of avoiding disaster is a hell of a lot more important than keeping someone from being uncomfortable at the idea that human beings can be shitty to one another. . I dont work here for the money, I work here because the things contained here are fucking terrifying and the idea that some of them might break out is what keeps me awake at night. You introduce him to one of these things and a guarentee you he'll be on board for telling us everything he can to stop them from breaking out. Make him share a containment cell for a minute with any keter class that can talk and we'll _have_ to reclassify this thing as Thaumiel. Am I the only one who understands this? Oh wait, I'm not, the O5's almost unanimously agree with me.
SCP-XXXX wasn't a danger to the world. It didn't require an MTF to get into containment. SCP-XXXX came here willingly. Given enough time, more research, or even an emergency, SCP-XXXX could have become a lifelong partner with the Foundation. Instead, we have a raving madman that can be pushed around if we shove hard enough. Our primary objective is to secure, contain, protect. Not to control. Not like this.
Well that didn't work.
Of course it didn't. Now we're in an even worse situation than before. At least before he didn't want out of containment. Now he want's as far as possible from this place. And it's not like we can wipe his mind, he'll still know about SCP-[[[[[ as much as before.
You know what, you're right. He will still keep that information wont he.
What's your point.
I'm just saying, amnestics work on his own memories. What if we just, wiped his mind. He wouldn't know he's anomalous. Especially not if we told him everything we did that was involved. We could convince him he's just insane. The monsters aren't real, don't worry! You must have just dreamt about them. Do you mind if we ask you more about the dreams? Oh the people you know of in the outside world? Those people can't be real, you havent been outside in years.
What are you sick? Thats a horrible breach of ethics.
The only breach of ethics is how we're even discussing this when we've got a previously docile and polite man suddenly screaming and being violent at every opportunity because of something he knows. Something he's only not telling us because he hates us for doing it. So we erase that hate. We get the information. We help everyone.
It's literally what he was asking for, wasn't it? To be relieved of what he knows?
Not you too, Brown.
At this point, it's probably the only thing we can do to releive him. We can't take it back. All we can do is give a safe spot in his mind to hide in.
I've got an idea.
Whats that?
The Foundation is currently considering abducting key individuals SCP-XXXX has interacted with previously, and having them confess to it all information they have that distresses it. However, this does not solve the issue of distressing knowledge that could be gained by interviewing other SCP's.
Researcher Patey proposed a solution. Through the heavy use of amnestics and interrogation, SCP-XXXX could be psychologically brainwashed into believing that the facts it knows about people in the outside world do not pertain to real people. Considering the magnitude of public amnestization that would otherwise be required, and SCP-XXXX’s reluctance to interview other SCP’s, this approach has been granted by the Site Director.
On ██/██/2019, Through the repeated use of amnestics and psychiatric interviews, SCP-XXXX has now been convinced of having residual schizophrenia. However, SCP-XXXX has continued to ask questions regarding the facility and Foundation faculty. On repeat occasions, SCP-XXXX has managed to regain and believe a truthful understanding of its containment through its anomalous ability. Due to this behavior, the process of repeated amnestic use and psychiatric interviews may have to be redone after SCP-XXXX is used to interview another SCP.
After incident [][][][[, where SCP-XXXX had written a message for themselves across the containment chamber walls, during routine cleaning of SCP-XXXX's containment chamber, the chamber must be searched for any potential messages left by SCP-XXXX for SCP-XXXX.

//The treatment of SCP-XXXX has been completely unnecessary, cruel, and sets a terrible precedent for the Foundation. // - Dr. Brink
^everythng above this make collapsable
Due to the lasting stress placed on SCP-XXXX, it is Researcher Patey's estimate that SCP-XXXX will only be able to perform █ interviews of other SCP's before complete mental collapse. Thusly, it is their recommendation that SCP-XXXX only be used in critical circumstances as permitted by the O5 Council.
Addendum
Researcher Patey has been elevated to head of SCP-XXXX's research department, replacing former research head Dr. Brink who has since been amnestized and moved elsewhere under Foundation employ. SCP-XXXX is to be taught that Dr. Brink is not a real individual, just as it is told about the people it knows of in the world outside of containment.
