Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures:SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 are to be kept in separate containers at Site-17. The containers are to be made of 2cm simply reinforced lead lined with 0.2cm thick steel and only require simple padlocks for locking. These containers are to be kept over 2 meters away from any area in which personnel will be located. The keys should be kept in a safe storage facility on the opposite side of the facility.

Description:SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 are bracelet structures of similar size and shape which seem to be made of skin from mammalian animals, including dogs, cats and humans and, after testing for what it can affect, pigs, sheep, cattle and elephants. Should someone come within 2 meters of one of the bracelets, they will feel an urge to place the bracelet on. This can be counteracted with at least 1.5cm thick lead. When the bracelet is placed on the body it will change size to fit then it will move to the closest wrist, ankle or neck. Once it reaches one, it will tighten onto the appendage and will not come off. Note that this effect only happens should someone else within 2 meters put the bracelet on as well. After both bracelets are secured, the two subjects will be unable to move more than 2.5 metres away from each other. This only works in mammalian life, possibly including whales although that has not yet been tested. As long as one subject is alive, the effect will continue, meaning that the other will have to drag a corpse with them. In most subjects, when wearing the bracelet, the subject will begin feeling like the other subject less and less, the relationship continually degrading, even after one has died. This is assumed another anomalous effect although that has not yet been confirmed. When the affected area of both subjects has died, be it amputation or death of the subject, the bracelet will begin the detachment process. This takes place in 1.5 to 2 minutes and has the bracelet remove the skin and add it as part of the bracelet then dropping off of the affected part. Should two subjects place the bracelets on, immediate termination or amputation is required.

Recovery Log:
SCP-XXXX-1 and -2 were found in an apartment in ██████ when field agents responded to reports of multiple suicides being committed in pairs in the area. Someone reported hearing gunshots and screaming When they entered the apartment, the authorities found two subjects, identified as Jr. Researcher Albert Abrahams who had recently gone missing from the site and a civilian Ms. Smiths. Abrahams had died of a gunshot to the head and Smiths had committed suicide with a knife. The two officers quickly were affected by the anomaly and the field agents who were investigating the paired suicides responded to the situation at the apartment. When they arrived, the two officers were trying to get away from each other. When asked about what happened, they told the agents they had felt a need to put the bracelets on when they suddenly stuck to them. The officers were taken into foundation custody and one ended up killing himself by bashing his head repeatedly on the wall. Seeing that the effect continued, foundation personnel cut his hand off to see how that played out and the other officer was then stuck with the hand. They locked the officer in there and used multiple D-Class to test if there were any successful ways to block the effects of the bracelets.
