Item #: SCP-XXXX
Placeholder Image (Final Image will say "Picture of a film photgraph of SCP-XXXX")
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a alloyed tungsten lockbox no more than 30 centimeters in width and 23 centimeters in length.
All personnel at Site-█ are to be screened for symptoms of major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, paranoia and psychosis. Under no circumstances are personnel that already display these symptoms are allowed to be within 100 meters of SCP-XXXX.
Every month, a D-Class personnel with an IQ lower than 65, is to clean SCP-XXXX using a dry cloth and no water.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a spherical object of unknown origin and composition, roughly 8 centimeters in diameter. SCP-XXXX has a rough texture, similar to that of rock. The object is of a dark gray color, but matches no stone known. The material SCP-XXXX consists of deflects many types of instruments used to further research or test the object. (See testing logs)
SCP-XXXX displays no anomalous properties until it is within 3 meters of someone who SCP-XXXX perceives of possessing an above-average intellect. When the subject is within the distance and SCP-XXXX is not in its case, it begins to vibrate at a low amplitude and moderate frequency, causing the subject to perceive a humming from SCP-XXXX. This effect is only observed by the subject. Tungsten alloyed with cobalt, iron and nickel block the illusory effects.
If the subject has physical contact with SCP-XXXX, the cognitohazardous effects activate and the subject enters stage 1. The time after a stage starts and another begins is highly predictable (with the exception of stage 1), but there have been exceptions.
In stage 1, the subject feels cold and uneasy when in proximity to foundation personnel assigned to SCP-XXXX. The subject has shown heightened adrenaline when in physical contact with another human, and signs of fear when in contact with personnel assigned to SCP-XXXX. After an unpredictable amount of time, the subject enters stage 2.
Once stage 2 is active, the subject begins to show a large distrust to foundation personnel and signs of impeded communication skills, remaining silent in free time. Subjects have been observed to try and cope with an unknown source of mental trauma. Stage 3 begins at approximately 10 days after stage 2 initiates.
Stage 3 has been observed to cause fevers in the subjects. The subjects begin to repeat phrases and have been reported to talking to themselves. At this point, subjects are to remain in their quarters, or any authorized holding area. Subjects begin to use hostile vocabulary against those assigned to SCP-XXXX, often judging them for how they treat the SCPs in the facility. Stage 4 begins 5 days after stage 3 begins.
At stage 4, the subject mutters about how SCP-XXXX wants to be understood. Subjects have been caught talking to nothing, or darting eyes occasionally. At this stage, the subject is paranoid about the foundation. Subjects refuse to cooperate and are only able to be questioned when injected with [REDACTED].
Stage 4 subjects report hallucinations and claim to see visions. Subjects begin to feverently try to research SCP-XXXX and repeat that it just wants to be seen. Subjects have made illustrations (See addendum) portraying SCP-XXXX and hallucinations.
After 35 days in stage 4, the subject digs their fingers into their eyeballs and chests, dying of blood loss. If restrained before the subject manages to properly commit suicide, the subject will constantly resist and attempt to harm personnel, leading in termination. Mental or chemical effects will no longer calm the subject.
Addendum:
Interviewed: DXXXX-11
Interviewer: Dr. ██████
Foreword: DXXXX-11 has shown exceptional proficiency in problem solving. DXXXX-11 is in stage 1 at the time of conducting the interview.
<Begin Log>
Dr. ██████: Hello, I am here to conduct an interview with you about SCP-XXXX.
DXXXX-11: Yeah, I figured.
Dr. ██████: Can you please explain to me what happened with the object?
DXXXX-11: (Subject begins to rub his legs with his hands) Sure, uh, well I was instructed to open the case of the object. The second I touched it, I think the, uh, guys over the mic turned on the air conditioning. It was so cold in there.
Dr. ██████: I have the notes right here, nothing was changed in that room.
DXXXX-11: Yeah, (pauses) sure.
Dr. ██████: Can you describe to me what you felt?
DXXXX-11: I think you know what I felt.
Dr. ██████: I don't. You need to ex-
DXXXX-11: (Interrupts) No, you know very well how I felt. Making me hold that rock didn't distract me.
Dr. ██████: If you're going to be hostile and uncooperative, you will be moved back into your room.
DXXXX-11: I think I would like that.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: It is rare for DXXXX-11 to display a hostile tone towards foundation staff. After DXXXX-11 was moved back into his room, he immediately entered stage 2.
Interviewed: DXXXX-11
Interviewer: Dr. ██████
Foreword: DXXXX-11 has shown anger towards foundation staff. This interview was conducted two (2) days after interview XXXX:11-A. DXXXX-11 is in stage 2 at the time of conducting the interview.
<Begin Log>
Dr. ██████: This is a follow-up to our last interview. Can you please explain how you've felt the past 2 days?
DXXXX-11: Well, it's been so cold.
Dr. ██████: Cold?
DXXXX-11: Yes, the cold that touching the rock gave me never went away.
Dr. ██████: Can you elaborate on this feeling?
DXXXX-11: It felt like (pauses) all the eyes in the world were watching me. It felt almost like I was naked.
Dr. ██████: Did it feel like there was wind or some other form of atmospheric effect?
DXXXX-11: No, no I don't think so. It felt like it was coming from (pauses) inside me.
Dr. ██████: You accused us of trying to make you feel cold in the last interview, now you're sure we did nothing?
DXXXX-11: I know you did something to me, just, now I know it wasn't the air conditioning.
Dr. ██████: Is this going to happen again?
DXXXX-11: You seem to want it to.
Dr. ██████: I don't want this. I want you to tell me more about how you feel.
DXXXX-11: I want to go back to my room.
Dr. ██████: You will stay here and finish this interview.
DXXXX-11: I will not, I will be returned to my room.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: DXXXX-11 refused to go any further into the interview, and was eventually dismissed into his room. DXXXX-11 refused any other interviews afterword, and was terminated. DXXXX-11 is the only subject that was still willing to interview after exposure to SCP-XXXX until this point.
Test XXXX:1
Items: A store-bought laser pen
Procedure: A remotely controlled machine was to turn on the laser pen and point it towards SCP-XXXX.
Results: The laser was reflected perfectly, causing no heat on the object.
Analysis: So we know that this thing can reflect some of our tools, but somehow not all light. I think more testing is needed. -Dr. P███████
Test XXXX:2
Items: 2 transceiver radios
Procedure: SCP-XXXX was moved to a faraday cage. A D-Class subject with an IQ of 63 was to attempt to transmit audio from one radio to the other that is on the other side of SCP-XXXX.
Results: No signal was transmitted
Analysis: As we expected, it didn't work. I just wish it didn't take the D-Class an hour to figure out the radios. -Dr. P███████
Test XXXX:3
Items: 1 digital camera and 1 film camera
Procedure: Personnel remotely took pictures of SCP-XXXX using each camera, from many different angles.
Results: SCP-XXXX does not show up in digital photographs, but has appeared in the film photographs. The object is shown in digital pictures of a film photograph of SCP-XXXX.
Analysis: This is interesting, but annoying. It's harder for us to analyze the object if we can't even take digital pictures. XXXX appears to be resisting research. More research needed. -Dr. P███████
Test XXXX:4
Items: 1 9×19mm Parabellum, SIG Sauer P228 firearm
Procedure: The firearm was to be fired at SCP-XXXX
Results: The firearm would jam when pointed at SCP-XXXX. When shot near, but not at, SCP-XXXX, the firearm worked perfectly.
Analysis: While Dr. S█████ has suggested that it made a decision not to let us harm it, I believe that it's just part of the inanimate objects properties. Also, who authorized this? We contain SCPs not destroy them! If anyone tries this again, I'll make sure you get keter duty. -Dr. P███████
Test XXXX:5
Items: SCP-4095
Procedure: DXXXX-8 was instructed to open SCP-4095 after being exposed to SCP-XXXX.
Results: SCP-XXXX was present inside SCP-4095
Analysis: Of course it fucking was! God damn! This is the last fucking time I'll let Dr. S█████ prove me wrong! -Dr. P███████
Note: Dr. P███████ was found to have been exposed to SCP-XXXX, leading her to assault Dr. S█████, and was terminated. The effects of SCP-XXXX manifested incredibly slowly on Dr. P███████, further testing considered. With no head doctor researching the SCP, all testing is halted for the time being.
I'm so sorry, I thought I could understand.
I tried to make them see. I tried to help them. but they thought that you are some object for testing. You don't deserve what happened to you, but they do. They're too ignorant and didn't listen when I tried to make them see.
I'll see you soon, my love. I just need to get to you.
Note: DXXXX-08 was in stage four at the time of writing this note. It is unknown how she was able to access a pen and paper while in her room. After writing this note, DXXXX-08 stabbed both of her eyes repeatedly with the pen, before collapsing of blood loss.
