Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1 is to be stored in a Type-4Λ safe box at Site 33. Bio-metric access is be restricted to Level 4 Clearance Level.

Under no circumstances should audiovisual¹ data be saved in a digital medium.

Experimentation on SCP-XXXX is restricted until further notice.

Description: SCP-XXXX is the designation for three anomalous objects: SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX-2 and SCP-XXXX-3. SCP-XXXX-1 is a lavender air freshener of brand █████. When humans are exposed to the contents of SCP-XXXX-1, they will manifest a need to search a human-sized closed door of any kind. If subjects can't find any object with this specifications; or the latter is obstructed, subjects will enter REM sleep for three hours².

If subject gains access to the door, the latter will be opened and subject will enter SCP-XXXX-2.

SCP-XXXX-2 is a room with various anomalous properties:

• Has a permanent lavender odour.
• Can only be accessed through SCP-XXXX-1 exposition.
• Subjects exposed to SCP-XXXX-2 report a "relaxing, peaceful" feeling³.

Inside of SCP-XXXX-2, there's a double-sized bed, a ceiling fan, empty wooden vaults, and a plastic pot with SCP-XXXX-3 in it.

SCP-XXXX-3 is a singular Lavandula angustifolia⁴ exemplar with no senescence⁵. SCP-XXXX-3 is in a permanent blooming state, and when all the flowers are recollected or removed from the plant, new flowers grow when another subject goes into SCP-XXXX-2. The way SCP-XXXX-3 achieves this is unknown. Any sample taken from SCP-XXXX-3 dematerialises when subject leaves SCP-XXXX-2. There's no known ways to retrieve these samples outside of SCP-XXXX-2.

Addendum XXXX.1: Subjects exposed to any of the objects designated SCP-XXXX suffer from memory loss, being unable to recall exposure to any of these. It is believed that SCP-XXXX has antimemetic properties, since all audiovisual data stored in a digital medium suffers from heavy corruption. This includes; but it's not limited to: audio files, photos, videos, etc. However, analogue data storage does not seem to be affected by this anomaly. As of ██-██-20██, all audiovisual data regarding SCP-XXXX is to be stored in physical mediums.

Psychological analysis demonstrates that subjects that suffer from major depressive disorder feel highly diminished symptoms after exposure to any of the SCP-XXXX objects. This effect lasts between 30 minutes to 3 months; duration is apparently random.

Discovery: SCP-XXXX came to Foundation custody in a routine GoI investigation. SCP-XXXX-1 was found in a safe box contained in the extinct GoI lab ██████. Item was safely and successfully relocated to Site 33.

██-██-20██: Due to the enormous amount of information about SCP-XXXX⁶, further testing is considered irrelevant. Testing on SCP-XXXX is restricted until further notice.

SCP-XXXX-4 RNA genome.

Special Containment Procedures: As of ██-Nov-2020, SCP-XXXX-4 containment is impossible. Foundation' efforts are directed to diminish SCP-XXXX-4 effects over human population.

Operation 'Thanatos' is to be continued indefinitely. If 'Thanatos' cannot be executed, Foundation resources are to be redirected to execute immediately Protocol XXXX-THANATOS-DEATHWISH.

Counterconceptual Division efforts are directed to ensure that SCP-055 and SCP-579 are completely hidden from the human subconscious.



Do not miss any details.

Description: SCP-XXXX-4 is an RNA virus with an extremely complex genome from an unknown family⁸. SCP-XXXX-4 is transmitted through human noosphere replication and has an infectivity rate of approximately 70%. Currently, it is unknown if SCP-XXXX-4 attacks any other species.

Subjects exposed to SCP-XXXX-4 start manifesting feelings described as "sadness, low energy, emptiness." These symptoms are highly similar to those shown by individuals with major depressive disorder and it's believed that SCP-XXXX-4 is the principal cause to this mental disability. Symptoms will develop until subject's survival instinct is overridden by invasive ideas created by unconscious manipulation that often result in self-harm; or suicide. Subject's mental health deteriorates further when they cannot find any apparent reason to the invasive ideas, or when these ideas reinforce traumas or self-deprecating ideas from the past. SCP-XXXX-4 is currently incurable; symptoms are widely treated with antidepressants.

Estimations show that in ██ years over 9█.██% of the human population will be under influence of SCP-XXXX-4. High amounts of evidence suggest that SCP-XXXX-4 was artificially created.⁹

Discovery: Foundation first encounter with the virus is documented at ██-Dec-2019. An 05 project for mass-amnesticisation through human unconscious manipulation lead to the discovery of SCP-XXXX-4 implanted on ██% of human psycho-space. Further investigations discovered that initial exposition to the virus was over ████ years ago.

2. Hypnograms show that subjects will not enter other sleep phases during exposition to SCP-XXXX-1.

3. Research notes indicate that these feelings are spontaneous; and have no inherent reason.

4. Common lavender.

5. The condition of growing old, or of decaying by time; decadence.
