Carrière Miron, Montréal, Canada. Previous location of emergence related to SCP-XXXX.
Special Containment Procedures: No special procedures required as of January 2, 2021.
Special Containment Procedures: No information may exit Provisionary Site 190-V. Any electronic devices capable of data storage are to be prohibited in Provisionary Site 190-V, and no internet transmission may be received inside of the site. Any information pertaining to SCP-XXXX is to remain inside of Provisionary Site 190-V, and be archived in the form of physical copies.
Any individual affected by SCP-XXXX's properties must be subject to extensive memetic screening. Any instance of SCP-XXXX-A confirmed must be subsequently administered Class C amnestics. All archives experiencing unexplained data corruption in a 75 kilometre radius surrounding the Miron mine in Montreal, Canada must be retrieved and transcribed in its original form, and all witnesses are to be administered Class B amnestics. Any suspected SCP-XXXX-B instances are to be disposed of by performing a complete memory wipe or by physically neutralizing the affected terminal. Foundation web crawlers are to log any irregular searches concerning poetry, French Canada, indigenous tribes and/or war declarations. MTF Mu-4 ("Debuggers") is currently assigned to seize any SCP-XXXX affected terminal overseas.
All documentation contained in Site 190 are currently being relocated to Campus 190-A in Drummondville, Canada to avoid corruption of Foundation archives. Control of the Miron mine has been taken over by Foundation negotiation with the municipality of Montreal. Access to the epicentre of SCP-XXXX is to be forbidden to any unauthorized individuals. In order to mitigate public suspicion, the area surrounding the Miron mine has been adapted into the Frédéric-Back public green space.
Description: SCP-XXXX was a memetic agent whose primary effect was to spread through information regarding itself. Contagion resulting from SCP-XXXX produced changes of behavioural patterns in affected units, described as SCP-XXXX-A and SCP-XXXX-B.
- SCP-XXXX-A refers to sentient individuals retaining information regarding SCP-XXXX. Such individuals exhibited acute interest to progress pertaining to SCP-XXXX research. This raised interest was also directed towards the following literary subjects: poetry, Canadian French historical reports, North American indigenous tribes, as well as an ethnicity not currently recognized by Western historians. SCP-XXXX-A instances would also express urges to communicate information regarding SCP-XXXX to unaffected individuals. These effects were both memetic in nature. Over a period varying between 4 days and 12 months, SCP-XXXX-A would be subjected to severe neurodegenerative damage, resulting in central nervous system failure in 89% of reported cases.
- SCP-XXXX-B refers to digital databases retaining information regarding SCP-XXXX. Any SCP-XXXX-B instance would begin analyzing online resources in search for similar topics as SCP-XXXX-A instances. SCP-XXXX-B could occasionally corrupt or obfuscate any data found not to pertain to the previous subjects of interest. Minor CK-Class Restructuring events could retroactively affect the memory of individuals involved with any data obfuscated. This caused such individuals to believe any data loss caused by SCP-XXXX-B to originate from non-anomalous events.
Secondary anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX could cause occasional data loss within archives regardless of topic or format. This effect spread in a 25 to 75 kilometre range surrounding the currently out of use Miron mine located in Montréal, Canada.
Research Log:
November 20, 2019: Discovery of SCP-XXXX was made following multiple reports of corrupted digital archives sighted at the 42e Salon du Livre in Montréal, Canada (42nd Book Fair.) Foundation field agents were dispatched to the location, all devices affected were seized for investigation. Civilian witnesses were administered Class C amnestics and implanted false memories. Devices sent for further investigation in Site 190.
November 29, 2019: Examinations of the devices in Site 190 research facilities led to the discovery of a slightly elevated Humes field density of approximatively 1.02 Humes. Source of emergence was traced back to the Miron mine in Montréal. Field agents deployed for examination of the location of interest.
December 15, 2019: Location of interest confirmed. Provisionary Site 190-V was constructed over the open pit mine over a period of 5 months. Foundation officials announced a recycling plant and composting site as a cover up story. Relocation of 4 researchers to Provisionary Site 190-V planned during this period.
June 21, 2020: 5 weeks following completion of Provisionary Site 190-V and beginning of research, Incident XXXX-1 occurred inside of the location of interest. Primary effects of SCP-XXXX were first observed following major corruption of SCP-XXXX documentation.
July 8, 2020: Research resumed under lockdown with minimal personnel occupation of Provisionary Site 190-V.
December 31, 2020: See Incident XXXX-3.
January 2, 2021: Following Incident XXXX-3, SCP-XXXX effects dissipated, and Humes field density returned to normal reality. Remains of Provisionary Site-V were abandoned, and SCP-XXXX was reclassified to Neutralized.

Addendum 1: Incident Log
Incident XXXX-1: On June 21, 2020, 7 instances of SCP-XXXX-A and 29 instances of SCP-XXXX-B were created in Provisionary Site 190-V. After multiple memetic screenings, MTF-Eta-10 ("See No Evil") was dispatched to the site, initiating an AR-5: "Closing Time" lockdown on Provisionary Site 190-V. 5 instances of SCP-XXXX-A were administered Class B amnestics, and 2 instances were terminated due to severe neurodegenerative afflictions. Prior health evaluations determine no hereditary or genetic factors. Containment breach was signaled and reported back to Site 01. Containment class updated to Euclid, and risk class updated to Danger.
Incident XXXX-2: On September 13, 2020, the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (Quebec national Archives and Library) reported significant archive corruption, and over 0.3% of digital databases were deemed affected by SCP-XXXX's secondary effects. Corruption was blamed on malfunctions on the part of the establishment's servers. Effect area of SCP-XXXX was estimated to around 50 kilometres. Disruption class updated to Keneq.
Incident XXXX-3: On December 31, 2020, all clearance on SCP-XXXX's archives was nullified, and all SCP-XXXX-A and SCP-XXXX-B instances started spreading relevant documentation over an unidentified local network. During 2 days, a total of 14 000 people are thought to have been affected by SCP-XXXX before MTF Rho-9 ("Technical Support") was able to block all related connection attempts. Subsequent disappearance of SCP-XXXX effects has since reverted any neurological damage done to live SCP-XXXX-A instances.
