Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Given that (excluding -1) all instances of SCP-XXXX are perpetually trying to permeate conflict with their peers within their own respective fields, and each instance of SCP-XXXX is capable of switching hosts at will to remain at the top of their respective fields, SCP-XXXX is effectively almost completely self-containing.
First sighting of SCP-XXXX-1, taken with a Pomson-Huerig anchor-camera.
SCP-XXXX-6 is to be funded in its endeavours and artificially kept relevant in the Japanese cartoon industry for as long as possible per inhabitation. SCP-XXXX-1 is to be kept working at the Foundation on the SCP-XXXX project, and monitored at all times by Researcher Simmons. In the event that SCP-XXXX-1 chooses to cease its work at the Foundation, other SCP-XXXX instances are to be contacted and asked about its whereabouts, at which point field agents are to be dispatched to monitor its movements.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the designation used to refer to a collection of seven mild reality-bending entities, currently inhabiting the bodies of multiple prominent world figures. The capabilities of each are believed to scale with their designation, -1 being the weakest and -7 being the strongest, although they rarely appear to use their abilities for anything other than remaining atop their selected field of operation. It is of note that most entities (excluding -1) will always gravitate towards the most successful figure in their selected field, and will often switch the bodies they are currently inhabiting to remain at the top at all times. SCP-XXXX instances appear to be aware of the circumstances regarding every other instance (excluding -7) at all times. It is unknown if figures once-inhabited by an SCP-XXXX instance retain higher brain-function following the event, or retain any memory of the experience at all. Thus far, no SCP-XXXX victims have been able to provide significant comment.

Huey Friedkin, American Stand-up Comedian.
Narendra Modi, Indian Politician and Prime Minister of India.
Udolphy Zizek, D-Class working with the SCP Foundation.

Eiichiro Oda, successful Japanese cartoonist.
SCP-XXXX-7:
Unknown.
SCP-XXXX was first discovered following an event during a Huey Friedkin comedy routine at the "Jingles and Mariott Comedy Club," located in Harrisburgh, Pennsylvania. Off-duty field agents stationed in Pennsylvania were present at the perfomance. Friedkin was reportedly performing poorly on-stage, and soon began lashing out and berating the audience. During this, the agents (somewhat unprofessionally) chose to record the comedian using the only recording device on-hand; a Pomson-Huerig anchor-camera, at which point SCP-XXXX-1 was captured on camera. The agents waited until the routine was over, before following SCP-XXXX-1 out of the club and apprehending it.
SCP-XXXX-1 was then detained and taken into Foundation custody for questioning, showing surprising compliance throughout the ordeal. The field agents were congratulated for their actions, and then punished for abusing Foundation equipment. Researcher Simmons was tasked with interviewing SCP-XXXX-1, with the goal of understanding its origins and true nature.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1
Interviewer: Researcher Simmons
<Begin Log>
SCP-XXXX-1: "God, what a shitshow."
Researcher Simmons: "Please refrain from swearing during the recording. And you needn't worry, we're here to help you."
SCP-XXXX-1: "Hm? Oh no, no, I meant my act. I never realised how difficult performing on-stage was."
Researcher Simmons: "I see. So, what exactly are you, XXXX?"
SCP-XXXX-1: "Wow, that designation would really get under my skin if I had a name. I'm the youngest of seven brothers. We don't really get along well, but I'm sure it all comes from a good place. Tough love, you know how it is."
Researcher Simmons: "You say there are six more like you?"
SCP-XXXX-1: "Yeah right, 'like me.' They wish they were like me."
Researcher Simmons does not laugh at the joke.
SCP-XXXX-1: "…Uhm, but yeah, I have brothers. Six, exactly. You're right."
Researcher Simmons: "Can you elaborate on the nature of your brothers?"
SCP-XXXX-1: "Sure. We're all gluttons for power, so we always end up at the top of any category we decide to get into. We each have our own interests, which are reflected by our preferred clothing."
Researcher Simmons: "Are you aware of the whereabouts of all your brothers? And why aren't you at the top of a hierarchy? Is there something seperating you from your brothers?"
Kim-Jong Un, Current Leader of the DPRK, emerges from the interrogation table, facing Researcher Simmons. This was later revealed to be SCP-XXXX-4.
SCP-XXXX-4: "It's because he's a directionless fucking loser who can't get anywhere in life. You know he's the weakest of us all, right? That's why he'll never be at the top of anything. That's his power."
-1 is visibly flustered and looks at its feet. -4 looks at it.
SCP-XXXX-4: "God, the fuck are you even wearing right now? You look ridiculous."
-1 attempts to say something in retaliation, but -4 is now nowhere to be seen. -1 appears to be on the verge of tears.
[End Log]
Following this, Researcher Simmons provided emotional support to SCP-XXXX-1, until it was ready to divulge information on the personalities and locations of all other instances. From this, the current positions of five other instances were ascertained. When probed on the identity of SCP-XXXX-7, however, -1 declined to comment. This is hypothesized to be out of fear, though it was presented as reluctance and boredom.
Two days later, SCP-XXXX-1 invited Researcher Simmons out to a meeting between Standing President of India Narendra Modi and CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, citing that it wished to visit a relative who had recently changed "clothing" (SCP-XXXX-5). It was at this point that -1 demonstrated long-range inhabitiation capabilities, occupying the body of the Indian President (albeit making its intentions clear to nearby personnel shortly beforehand) and scheduling a flight for Simmons and two other agents, who were to accompany him throughout the experience. This was later to be considered a breach of containment, and new procedures were formulated soon afterwards.
Huey Friedkin was questioned, and cited that he did not notice anything out of the ordinary, but did remark that he must have been feeling under-the-weather considering his actions at the Comedy Club a few days prior. He was administered Class B amnestics and released back into the general population. Simmons arrived at Lok Kaylan Marg, New Delhi, to rendezvous with SCP-XXXX-1. Simmons was intruigingly let in on the spot, while his chaperones were required to present some form of identification. Anchor-cameras were set up ahead of time to record the meeting.
<Begin Recording>
Mark Zuckerberg and Narendra Modi are seated. Modi begins to speak, and SCP-XXXX-1 rises from his body, prompting -5 to do the same.
SCP-XXXX-5: "One? What is the meaning of this, brother?"
SCP-XXXX-1: "Sorry. I was just curious as to your sudden change in attire. And it's been some time since we last spoke; I figured this would be a good oppurtunity to catch up."
SCP-XXXX-5: "Right. Couldn't you have just seen me in-person? I'd have preferred to give this interaction my undivided attention. A lot of press here, it's very important I don't make any slip-ups."
SCP-XXXX-1 looks subtly pained.
SCP-XXXX-1: "Come on, brother. You know I'm not capable of paying you visits like the others."
SCP-XXXX-5: "Oh, right. You aren't, are you? I forget that even such rudimentary practises are still above you. You should really work on that, you know."
SCP-XXXX-1: "…Anyway, like I asked earlier, what's with the sudden change in outfit? Do you think this one is better suited to your cause?"
SCP-XXXX-5: "Obviously. This one shows far more potential for data-collection. I believe I will become privy to so much more information this way."
SCP-XXXX-1: "Of course. Good to hear, I'm very happy for you. By the way, how's Seven? I haven't heard from him in a while."
All notions of serenity are wiped from -5's stance.
SCP-XXXX-1: "Your memory fails you, brother. He's never spoken to us before."
SCP-XXXX-1: "Really? That seems a little inconsiderate, I'm sure he must've put in a word somewhere."
-5 looks around itself, before approaching -1 and extending a tendril to its shoulder.
SCP-XXXX-5 (hushed): "Cease this, brother. You know we aren't meant to talk about him."
SCP-XXXX-1: "Oh right, I forget, why aren't we allowed to talk about Seven? Does anybody know?"
SCP-XXXX-5 steps back and ignores -1 until the end of the interview. Upon completion of the conversation, -1 thanks its brother for its time and relinquishes itself from the body of the Prime Minister. Narendra Modi shows no external reaction.

-1 (left) and -5 (right).
Following this interview, it was concluded that SCP-XXXX instances are capable of conversing with one another even while using human bodies to communicate, and that all SCP-XXXX instances appear reluctant to speak of and afraid of SCP-XXXX-7. At this point, it was decided that Researcher Simmons would accompany SCP-XXXX-1 to any and all interactions it initiates between itself and its brothers, in hopes of learning more about SCP-XXXX as a collective, and possibly -7 itself.
SCP-XXXX-1 was later prompted to choose another relative to visit. After due consideration, it chose SCP-XXXX-6, citing that they were "easily the most pleasant brother, although a little temperate." -1 was set to occupy the body of Daijiro Enami, Japanese TV-personality. Researcher Simmons was flown-out to Kumamoto City, Japan, and anchor-cameras were positioned around the room in which the interview would take place. SCP-XXXX-1 was asked to inquire about the nature of -7 to -6, which he agreed to do, seemingly out of a growing interest.
<Begin Log>
SCP-XXXX-1 steps out from behind Daijiro Enami, and SCP-XXXX-6 mirrors its action in response, revealing itself.
SCP-XXXX-6: "One? The fuck are you doing here, you crazy bastard? (laughs)"
-6 goes in for a hug, which -1 reciprocates. -6 then returns to its seat.
SCP-XXXX-1: "Hey buddy! Just thought I'd stop by and check up on you. It's been a while!"
SCP-XXXX-6: "Fair enough. It's good to see you, brother."
-1 looks Eiichiro Oda up and down, surprised at his appearance. This is purely an act, as -1 was aware of -6's new identity as soon as it learned where it would be going for the meeting, although he claims he was not aware of -6's change in host-body until this point. -1 looks back at -6.
SCP-XXXX-1: "Oh my, you've definitely switched up your style. Was 'Dungeons and Dragons' running its course?"
SCP-XXXX-6: "Game of Thrones, and yes, I've decided to start work on some new material. Hey, how about you help me proof-read my latest chapter?"
-6 suddenly manifests a small paper booklet, presumably filled with unfinished pages from the "One Piece" series. Upon revision of the film through a non-Huerig render, this booklet is nowhere to be seen.
SCP-XXXX-1: "I'd love to, but let's talk about you first. How did you transition costumes like this without my knowledge?"
-6 appears to be flattered.
SCP-XXXX-6: "Well, you know me. I like to keep things on the down-low. No fun if the rest of you know what I'm doing at all times."
SCP-XXXX-1: "Ah, silly me. I often forget how strong you are, you know. Say, why do you spend your days doing this, of all things?"
-6 seems to take great offense to this. He stands, and throws the booklet across the room.
SCP-XXXX-6: "The fuck did you just say to me? Do you think I'm bound to a specific role from-birth just by the abilities I was born with? My passions lie in writing, ergo I write. I have no interest in your feeble ambitions and delusions of grandure. What a pathetic, short-sighted way to look at the world."
SCP-XXXX-1: "You're absolutely right, brother. I apologise."
-6 rubs its temples and sighs.
SCP-XXXX-6: "No brother, I apologise. I've just been so stressed as of late. It's these Shonen Jump deadlines, you wouldn't believe how hard they have me work to pump out these chapters."
The two remain silent for a few seconds.
SCP-XXXX-1: "Say, speaking of those who like their privacy, what's up with Seven? You wouldn't happen to have heard from hi—"
SCP-XXXX-6: "…Look. One, brother. I care about you. Know that it is from a place of love when I tell you to stop asking these questions about Seven. You're putting yourself at an incredible risk, especially in your current position. I won't be able to protect you if anything happens."
SCP-XXXX-1: "'Especially in my current position?' What do you mean by that?"
-6 clasps its hands around its mouth. It stands, running over to -1 and seizing it by the sides of its head.
SCP-XXXX-6: "Nothing. Forget I said anything."
SCP-XXXX-1 steps out from behind Daijiro Enami, and SCP-XXXX-6 mirrors its action in response, revealing itself.
SCP-XXXX-6: "One? The fuck are you doing here, you crazy bastard? (laughs)"
-6 goes in for a hug, which -1 reciprocates. -6 then returns to its seat.
[End Log]
-1 (left) and -6 (right).
Following this, SCP-XXXX-1 was shown the recording, at which point they regained all memories of the prior conversation. SCP-XXXX-1 appeared to be betrayed and taken aback at this revelation, claiming that they would no longer like to visit SCP-XXXX-6, regardless of the circumstances. SCP-XXXX-1 has presumably underwent amnestication of this manner often up until now, given how inquisitive and knowledge-seeking it has shown itself to be. It has been suggested that SCP-XXXX-1 may actually be aware of -7's identity, but said knowledge may have been repressed by SCP-XXXX-6 or a similarly powerful SCP-XXXX instance.
Researcher Simmons was promoted to the rank of Senior Researcher, and tasked exclusively on monitoring and speaking with SCP-XXXX-1, whilst wearing an anomaly-sensitive Huerig microphone at all times to pick up any unannounced interactions between -1 and other instances. The idea was that the seeming friendship formed between the two and -1's inherent immaturity combined with periodic questioning would surface some level of repressed information on -7. Two weeks into this operation, the following conversation took place.
It is currently hypothesized that the conversation below was brought about as a result of intoxication, exhiliration and trust, as was the goal with the "Bar Flies" experiment.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be held in a standard-issue anomalous objects container at Site-57.
SCP-XXXX.
Any testing regarding SCP-XXXX is to be overseen by at least 2 personnel of Level 3 clearance or higher. Any personnel of Level 3 clearance or higher wishing to read SCP-XXXX out of curiosity are free to do so, but are required to undergo psychiatric evaluation immediately after finishing.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a fictional, cognitohazardous SCP document, containing peculiar, mildly-disturbing photoshopped images. SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects take place whenever a subject reads a significant portion of it, at which point readers will begin to "recognise" the events taking place in the story, and claim to maintain vague memories of the events taking place in the article. Direct copies of the document share this effect.
SCP-XXXX was initially recovered from the hard-drive of a "Pomson-Huerig" camera, found lodged between the couch-cushions of Senior Researcher Jebediah's office. This is intruiging, as the terms "Pomson-Huerig" or just "Huerig" are mentioned approximately 6 times throughout SCP-XXXX, in reference to audio or visual equipment apparently capable of capturing entities hiding in plain sight (e.g. the seven reality-bending instances in the story of SCP-XXXX). No such technology currently exists.
Upon dissection and internal examination of the recovered camera, nothing appeared to be out of the ordinary, and it was by all accounts a regular camera. As a result, the device itself is to be presumed nothing more than festive packaging for the SCP; possibly implying SCP-XXXX itself is an intelligent-creation, presumably of an existing adversary organization. In the story of SCP-XXXX, the Pomson-Huerig devices are used as a plot-device of sorts, utilized as a vehicle upon which interactions between the SCP creatures in the article take place. It is currently believed that this packaging was intended to make the tale seem more real, particularly by having the packaging be akin to the camera used during the ending to document the events of the story.
In its writing, SCP-XXXX documents seven anomalous entities (SCP-XXXX-A) which each maintain control over multiple different high-ranking world figures. The narrative follows "Researcher Simmons," who is working with the SCP Foundation. He befriends the first instance of SCP-XXXX-A, and together they work on researching the SCP-XXXX-A entities, and discovering the identity of SCP-XXXX-A-7. At the end of the story, they realise that SCP-XXXX-A-7 is a high-ranking O5 official. They confront him, and both Richard and SCP-XXXX-A-1 are swallowed up by a dark ocean of teeth and eyeballs, revealed as SCP-XXXX-A-7. Right before he is completely enveloped within SCP-XXXX-A-7, Simmons retrieves the Pomson-Huerig camera and begins taking photographs, in the hopes of warning future generations about SCP-XXXX-A-7. The document seems to imply that, somehow, those few photographs captured the entire article and prevented it from any harm/alteration due to the camera's anomaly-deciphering nature.
Note: Junior Researcher Simmons has claimed to have no knowledge of any connection he may share with SCP-XXXX. Simmons is currently disallowed from reading SCP-XXXX, as it is theorised to be a targeted memetic attack of some kind.
Addendum: I've noticed more and more staff are raising concerns towards myself regarding XXXX and possible legitimacies it may hold. I am here to remind you that it's just a story. A pathetic, anomalous fable that creates false memories, likely thrown at us by some impotent counter-organization. Nothing more.
I understand that I lack clearance, but I am hereby requesting that we permenantly prohibit access to SCP-XXXX for all personnel. It's not like there's anything more we can learn from it, anyway.

SCP-XXXX-6: "Nothing. Forget I said anything."
SCP-XXXX-1 steps out from behind Daijiro Enami, and SCP-XXXX-6 mirrors its action in response, revealing itself.
SCP-XXXX-6: "One? The fuck are you doing here, you crazy bastard? (laughs)"
-6 goes in for a hug, which -1 reciprocates. -6 then returns to its seat.

Following this, SCP-XXXX-1 was shown the recording, at which point they regained all memories of the prior conversation. SCP-XXXX-1 appeared to be betrayed and taken aback at this revelation, claiming that they would no longer like to visit SCP-XXXX-6, regardless of the circumstances. SCP-XXXX-1 has presumably underwent amnestication of this manner often up until now, given how inquisitive and knowledge-seeking it has shown itself to be. It has been suggested that SCP-XXXX-1 may actually be aware of -7's identity, but said knowledge may have been repressed by SCP-XXXX-6 or a similarly powerful SCP-XXXX instance.
Researcher Simmons was promoted to the rank of Senior Researcher, and tasked exclusively on monitoring and speaking with SCP-XXXX-1, whilst wearing an anomaly-sensitive Huerig microphone at all times to pick up any unannounced interactions between -1 and other instances. The idea was that the seeming friendship formed between the two and -1's inherent immaturity combined with periodic questioning would surface some level of repressed information on -7. Two weeks into this operation, the following conversation took place.
It is currently hypothesized that the conversation below was brought about as a result of intoxication, exhiliration and trust, as was the goal with the "Bar Flies" experiment.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be held in a standard-issue anomalous objects container at Site-57.
SCP-XXXX.
Any testing regarding SCP-XXXX is to be overseen by at least 2 personnel of Level 3 clearance or higher. Any personnel of Level 3 clearance or higher wishing to read SCP-XXXX out of curiosity are free to do so, but are required to undergo psychiatric evaluation immediately after finishing.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a fictional, cognitohazardous SCP document, containing peculiar, mildly-disturbing photoshopped images. SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects take place whenever a subject reads a significant portion of it, at which point readers will begin to "recognise" the events taking place in the story, and claim to maintain vague memories of the events taking place in the article. Direct copies of the document share this effect.
SCP-XXXX was initially recovered from the hard-drive of a "Pomson-Huerig" camera, found lodged between the couch-cushions of Senior Researcher Jebediah's office. This is intruiging, as the terms "Pomson-Huerig" or just "Huerig" are mentioned approximately 6 times throughout SCP-XXXX, in reference to audio or visual equipment apparently capable of capturing entities hiding in plain sight (e.g. the seven reality-bending instances in the story of SCP-XXXX). No such technology currently exists.
Upon dissection and internal examination of the recovered camera, nothing appeared to be out of the ordinary, and it was by all accounts a regular camera. As a result, the device itself is to be presumed nothing more than festive packaging for the SCP; possibly implying SCP-XXXX itself is an intelligent-creation, presumably of an existing adversary organization. In the story of SCP-XXXX, the Pomson-Huerig devices are used as a plot-device of sorts, utilized as a vehicle upon which interactions between the SCP creatures in the article take place. It is currently believed that this packaging was intended to make the tale seem more real, particularly by having the packaging be akin to the camera used during the ending to document the events of the story.
In its writing, SCP-XXXX documents seven anomalous entities (SCP-XXXX-A) which each maintain control over multiple different high-ranking world figures. The narrative follows "Researcher Simmons," who is working with the SCP Foundation. He befriends the first instance of SCP-XXXX-A, and together they work on researching the SCP-XXXX-A entities, and discovering the identity of SCP-XXXX-A-7. At the end of the story, they realise that SCP-XXXX-A-7 is a high-ranking O5 official. They confront him, and both Richard and SCP-XXXX-A-1 are swallowed up by a dark ocean of teeth and eyeballs, revealed as SCP-XXXX-A-7. Right before he is completely enveloped within SCP-XXXX-A-7, Simmons retrieves the Pomson-Huerig camera and begins taking photographs, in the hopes of warning future generations about SCP-XXXX-A-7. The document seems to imply that, somehow, those few photographs captured the entire article and prevented it from any harm/alteration due to the camera's anomaly-deciphering nature.
Note: Junior Researcher Simmons has claimed to have no knowledge of any connection he may share with SCP-XXXX. Simmons is currently disallowed from reading SCP-XXXX, as it is theorised to be a targeted memetic attack of some kind.
Addendum: I've noticed more and more staff are raising concerns towards myself regarding XXXX and possible legitimacies it may hold. I am here to remind you that it's just a story. A pathetic, anomalous fable that creates false memories, likely thrown at us by some impotent counter-organization. Nothing more.
I understand that I lack clearance, but I am hereby requesting that we permenantly prohibit access to SCP-XXXX for all personnel. It's not like there's anything more we can learn from it, anyway.
- Junior Researcher Simmons
