Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX requires an isolated structure of dimensions 30m x 30m x 30m. The structure is placed in an cleared section of a corn field in ████, Nebraska. Probes are planted on the outside walls of the structure and are set to monitor for SCP-XXXX-B; if SCP-XXXX-B is detected, Protocol Gamma-3663 is activated (see SCP-XXXX.3663 for details).
Description: SCP-XXXX is a cube with 5 closed faces and one open face on top. The sides are unblemished and the inside is hollow. The exact dimensions are unattainable; however, the hollowed portion can accommodate a human up to 6'2'' in sitting position.
The area above, below, and extending in all lateral directions is contaminated by a psychoactive particle, henceforth designated SCP-XXXX-A, presumably secreted by the cube. This area of influence,henceforth designated SCP-XXXX-B, is shaped as a perfect cube of dimensions 25m x 25m x 25m. Entering this area without any protective gear will trigger its anomalous effects. Donning Foundation-grade biohazardous gear will shorten its area of effect to a smaller, yet still perfectly shaped cube of dimensions 16m x 16m x 16m. No known material allows personnel to approach SCP-XXXX any closer without triggering its effects.
The active chemical composition of SCP-XXXX-A has not been observed. Upon leaving SCP-XXXX-B, the composition changes drastically, and instances of carbon monoxide, acrolein, benzopyrene, and several other chemicals also found in cigarette smoke have been observed.
An individual entering the afflicted area will cease all action to stare at SCP-XXXX for a period of [REDACTED]. Afterwards, the subject will approach SCP-XXXX clumsily, with apparently-impaired motor skills. If any injuries are suffered due to this, the subject will take no notice and continue towards SCP-XXXX to the best of their ability. Upon sitting within SCP-XXXX, the subject experiences intense shame and degradation, and all attempts to calm the subject are unheeded.
Removal of the subject from SCP-XXXX's interior is possible by crane. Test subjects have reported several different lasting side-effects, including visual manifestations of SCP-XXXX at all times, residual feelings of guilt, developments of intense addictions to nicotine and/or alcohol, and continued lack of motor skills. In some cases, the effects did not subside.
Testing Procedure XXXX.1
Subjects: D-Class Personnel
Procedure: Have the test subject enter the containment building and ask them to sit in SCP-XXXX. Clothing variable. Various primers for emotional level used
Results: Blunt force injuries; Chronic & acute cognitive effects; Refusal; Confusion
Analysis: SCP-XXXX use as deterrent against hostile humans needs further testing.
| Test Designation & Conditions | Details |
| T-409: D-4823, naked, no primer | Tripped and fell forward after [REDACTED] minutes in the cube of influence. Suffered blunt trauma to the frontal bone of the skull. D-4823 began hemorrhaging profusely. D-4823 stood and continued towards SCP-XXXX. Failed to reach SCP-XXXX before expiring from injuries. |
| T-566: D-7645, light clothing, no primer | D-7645 reached SCP-XXXX with relative ease. Proceeded to claim SCP-XXXX belonged to herself while shouting obscenities and vulgar actions. D-7645 was forcefully removed after [REDACTED] minutes. See Interview XXXX.566 for further details. |
| T-765: D-8889, combat gear with gas mask, primed for anger | D-8889 began sprinting at observational window, starting 5m from the outer edge of influence. Immediately halts after entering inner cube of influence. Immediately heads for SCP-XXXX while screaming. Proceeds to rip off mask and bash cranium against an edge of SCP-XXXX. D-8889 expires after [REDACTED] minutes. Blood from D-8889 does not adhere to surfaces of SCP-XXXX. No surface damage is observed on SCP-XXXX. |
| T-800: Dr. Van Gleeson, Foundation scientist apparel, primed for guilt | Dr. Van Gleeson entered SCP-XXXX's holding cell unauthorized while working alone at 0142 hours, ██/██/2018. Van Gleeson walked towards SCP-XXXX, appearing to be crying and in great distress. No change in pace is observed after Van Gleeson enters SCP-XXXX-B. Van Gleeson enters SCP-XXXX's interior with no difficulty, remaining there until other scientists assigned to SCP-XXXX testing arrived at 0831 hours. Van Gleeson was ordered to exit SCP-XXXX, afterwards receiving Class-D amnestic.1 |
Protocol Gamma-3663
As of present date, there's no reason to believe that SCP-XXXX-A can or will affect a distance exceeding SCP-XXXX-B. However, one of the foundation's cover companies in Nebraska, Steven's Crystal Panes, had an obscenely large shipment of glass directed to them from some shipping error that was supposed to head to the US Department of Education, and Nebraska is mind-numbingly boring.
Interview Log XXXX-1 of D-7645 by Dr. █████
D-7645: So you want me to…..sit in that cube?
Dr. █████: Uh, SCP-XXXX, but yes.
D-7645: Begins to walk toward SCP-XXXX Okay, sure, doesn't sou-"
Dr. █████: Okay, now can you tell me what you're feeling?
[REDACTED] minutes pass
D-7645: Continues toward SCP-XXXX and sits within SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
Dr. █████: What about "shame"?
D-7645: THIS IS MY SHAME CUBE. I DESERVE THE SHAME! I WANT YOU TO [REDACTED] ON MY [REDACTED]! DEGRADE ME! I AM FILTH. I AM DISGUST.
Dr. █████: Wow, that's a new one.
