Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: As it is hard to define SCP-XXXX instances, MTF Tau-14 ("Blue Bird Silencers") is given a free discretion of searching and removing those objects. Tau-14 personnel is to receive daily necessities chosen by the Foundation instead of formal salaries.
At no circumstances should Tau-14 personal notice the second ability of SCP-XXXX. Bankrupted Tau-14 personal must be their memories erased and be disposed on other tasks. They have a priority to be deposed in this containment procedure when their asset recovers later.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a picture of a jujube tree (Ziziphus zizyphus), severely burned. The context suggests that it might be got burned by thunderstruck, although it is not certain. Other contexts such as its photographer, location and date are missing.
Perceiving SCP-XXXX has a positive effect on the perceiver's money fortune. The power of this ability is proportional from the period of said perceiving length, which is almost $10 per hour. The income caused by this effect does not confine in American Dollars, but also subject to high-mobile goods such as foreign currencies and jewelry. The effect manifests around a month after the exposure.
Copies of SCP-XXXX imitate said ability, including electronic subjects. Editing those copies have no effect on their anomaly, so it is confirmed that all copies of SCP-XXXX have identical anomalies of the original. The same effect occurs even when the original trace is not left on the copy, which suggests that the causal relationship between the original and the copy is the cause of the anomaly.
SCP-XXXX is currently not fully contained, with at least 50,000 instances estimated to be on the Internet, with over 70% of them on the SNS. The average daily increase rate is about 103% of the day before, abnormally fast than similar anomalies. This seems to be a result of some understanding of the object's anomaly by civil society.
If this trend continues, it is expected that a world-wide EK-Class Economic Panic Scenario will be triggered within about a year.
SCP-XXXX has a secondary effect that reduces the money fortune of the person who deleted/destroyed it. The secondary effect of the object increases in proportion to the number of deleted objects, which is almost 0.01% of the total assets of said deleter/destroyer per instance. The types of losses expected by the secondary effect of the target are not limited to American Dollars, but also subject to high-mobile goods such as foreign currencies and jewelry. The secondary effect manifests around a month after the exposure.
The target of the secondary effect of SCP-XXXX appears to be the person or organization that intended the deletion/destroying, not the person who directly deleted/destroyed it. It is clear that the term "intended" here is a relationship of monetary interests, and therefore the current containment procedure uses Tau-14 as a 'scapegoat'. Considering the effect and the number of objects, it is likely that the Foundation will result in a total bankruptcy within a year if the containment is directly held by itself.
The current containment procedure appealing to Tau-14's loyalty to the Foundation proved to be successful, as it appears that the number of SCP-XXXX individuals released on the internet is now less than 100. The object class has been downgraded to Euclid by 12/01/2017.
Addendum: By the current head of the SCP-XXXX research team, the creation of MTF Tau-40 ("Red Bird Sponsors") is underway. The purpose of Tau-40 is to extort the assets of Tau-14, which is intended to prevent the health of Tau-14 personnel from being interpreted as assets, as the Foundation intentionally responses to the secondary effect of the object.
Tau-40 will be provided with all personal information of Tau-14 members. All unauthorized economic exploitation, except injury to Tau-14 members, is permitted.
