Item #: SCP-4945
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4945 is to be contained in a 30cm-15cm padded container which is to be handled by Dr. Bale only. Only personnel level 3 or above are permitted to open the case, and only when in the presence of Level 3 or higher personnel. Any personnel below level 3 who are exposed to information regarding SCP-4945 must be subject to a class A amnestic before allowed within proximity of others.
Description: SCP-4945 is a 12cm x 5cm x 3cm Bismuth disk. It exhibits no strange physical properties, however when any person becomes aware of SCP-4945’s existence, they are suddenly compelled to stare deeply into SCP-4945. If a living subject is informed about its existence, by hearing a phrase indicating it’s existence (research into what phrases cause this effect is currently being performed), see an image of it, or read text indicating its existence, the effect occurs. Images of an identical disk have been taken and shown to D-Class with no effect. Affected persons will express desire to stare deeply into the disk, and will attempt to search for it, despite having no immediate knowledge of its whereabouts. If the subject is shown the disk, they will stare into it until it is removed from their line of sight, after which they will completely forget its existence.
Note- SCP-4945’s effects apply if seen through something of opacity of up to 96%. Anything more opaque will not affect any subject.
Testing Protocol: all personnel except Dr. Bale involved in each test must be administered a class A amnestic after the test has concluded. Dr. Bale will not tell anyone about the tests administered on SCP-4945 or that they are being performed outside of requesting resources as classified.
Attention: if you are reading this and are not me, please knock yourself unconscious with as much force as you believe would cause sufficient short term memory loss. Although you probably want to find it now anyways. Should have lead with this. Eh, whatever.
Test 1: 2 D-class personnel exposed to images of the disk. Result: the two decided between themselves to collaborate to search the room for the disk. When they finished and realized there was no disk, they began to accuse each other of stealing it from them. This resulted in a physical confrontation which resulted in one subject attempting to garrote the other with his shoelace. He succeeded, then attempted to search the corpse for any sign of the disk. When this failed, he attempted to pry open the jaw of the deceased D-class, at which point the test was deemed unnecessary and the remaining subject was allowed access to the disk, then separated from it. All involved personnel besides Dr. Bale given amnestic and returned to normal posts for later use. Analysis: it appears that those affected by SCP-4945 will use whatever means necessary to find it, and will explore all possible explanations given time.
Note to Self: I, Dr. Bale, found a way to resist the disk’s effects, at least somewhat. It still has some level of control over me. If i ingest a bismuth crystal, it seems to allow me to have some control over myself. Can’t tell anyone else about it though. SCP-4945 wouldn’t want that. Then I wouldn’t get to have it all to myself.
