SCP-XXXX during retrieval

SCP-XXXX is to be stored at Site-66 in a standard storage container. SCP-XXXX is only to be opened for testing with written permission from level 04 personnel. The objects included inside SCP-XXXX are to remain inside SCP-XXXX unless used for testing. SCP-XXXX-2 is to remain inside a small envelope within SCP-XXXX due to the manifestation of its anomalous properties triggering when an organism directly views the image. The note found within SCP-XXXX has been confiscated by MTF units. A digital version of the note has been released for all personnel to review.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a standard wooden chest measuring 30cm x 15cm x 10cm. The initial retrieval of SCP-XXXX, MTF units retrieved 6 items found inside of SCP-XXXX. Each item has been classified as SCP-XXXX-1-5, a sixth item has been obtained from the chest but does not manifest any anomalous traits. Items within SCP-XXXX are found to alter emotions through various different interactions such as touch, direct visuals, and hearing.

SCP-XXXX-1-5
SCP-XXXX-1 SCP-XXXX-1 is a small, blue teddy bear. Subjects which come into physical contact with SCP-XXXX-1 will feel an uncontrollable feeling of happiness. After subject's physical contact with SCP-XXXX-1 ceases, effects on the subject will last up to ten minutes in length.
SCP-XXXX-2 SCP-XXXX-2 is a 5cm x 8cm Polaroid photo of a man and woman at what is presumably their wedding. The faces have been scribbled over with using a black colored marker. Subjects directly looking at SCP-XXXX-2 will be overcome with an uncontrollable emotion of sadness. Once SCP-XXXX-2 is no longer in the line of sight to the affected subject, effects on the subject will last up to ten minutes in length.

SCP-XXXX-4 SCP-XXXX-4 is a cassette tape with the song "You Are My Sunshine" by artist: Johnny Cash. Subjects which listen to SCP-XXXX-4 instantaneously fall into a calm state. Subjects which have listened to SCP-XXXX-4 act as if they are unsure of their surroundings, similar to the effects of Marijuana. Once the tape has ended and the subject is no longer in hearing range to SCP-XXXX-4, effects on the subject will last up to two minutes in length.

To my dearest brother.
I know we haven't been on the best terms since mom and dad died, but I am truly sorry for the loss of your wife to divorce and the children's custody. It has come to my attention that you have been going through a lot lately with depression, anger and overall hatred for yourself. I have sent you a chest, unlock it. The chest is called "the Box Of Emotion." I named it myself. The boxes inside contains 5 different objects that I know meant a lot to you, and I've modified them in my workshop to help you control your emotions. Hug the teddy bear that mom made you, it will make you feel happy.
Look at the photo, it's you and ██████, it will make you cry because everyone needs to cry once in a while.
When you want to be mad crush the divorce papers in your hand, you will feel like you know own the world and that the world no longer owns you.
When you can't sleep. When you want to just give up, quit your job, be homeless and wait for yourself to starve on the streets… Play the cassette tape. Mom made it for us, and now it will for sure keep you calm and level headed.
And lastly, when you want to feel loved, when you want to see love, when you want to be in love again, touch the silk ribbon. It was hers.

I look forward to seeing you get back on your feet, I love you brother.

~ Dr.████████████


Addendum:

Interview XXXX (1)
Interviewed: D-4568 (Male, European descent, convicted of 2nd-degree murder.)

Interviewer: Dr. ██████

Foreword: After the retrieval of SCP-XXXX, Dr.██████ was given the chance to test on the many anomalous objects held within SCP-XXXX. D-4568 was chosen to for use in this test due to his history with cooperation in foundations tests.

<Begin Log, 7/24/████>

Dr. ██████: Alright, D-4568, my name is Dr. ██████. Did they tell you what we will be doing today?

D-4568: Nah, they just opened the cell and dragged me out, but I'm guessing if my orientation sheet was right that this is a testing facility, and you're doing a test? Am I right, doc?

Dr.██████: Precisely. Now you may be wondering what all of these objects we have spread out across this table are for, correct?

D-4568: Just get to the point would you?

Dr.██████: Very well then. I want you to interact with each of the objects as I tell you to. First off, hug the bear.

D-4568: What the [DATA EXPUNGED] kind of test is this?

Dr.██████: Hug the bear or we will get another D-Class to do it for us.

Security points their firearms at D-4568.

D-4568: Fine, jeez, I'll do it. Just tell your friends over there to put their [DATA EXPUNGED] guns away. It's making me uncomfortable.

** Dr.██████ notions to the security officers to lower their weapons and they comply with his orders.**

D-4568 is seen hugging the teddy bear.

Dr.██████: How do you feel D-4568?

D-4568: I-I feel great! I feel so happy! Ha ha!

Dr.██████: Perfect. Are you ready for the next part of the test?

D-4568: I'm ready when you are, doc!

Dr.██████: The envelope right here. Inside is a small photograph. I want you to take it out and look at it.

D-4568 is seen reaching into the envelope and sliding out the small image. Everyone in the room avoids eye contact with it.

D-4568: What is this…

Dr.██████: Pardon? How do you feel?

D-4568 is visibly sobbing. Dr.██████ takes quick note of this.

Dr.██████: Shall we continue on from that one?

D-4568: I haven't cried since the day my sister went into that deep slumber of death.

Dr.██████: Are you okay? Do you need us to pause the test?

D-4568 slides the image back into the envelope

D-4568: No, everyone needs to cry every now and again, doc. I don't know what these things are and why they make me feel this way, and I'm sure you don't either so let's figure it out together.

Dr.██████: Wow, alright. The next item is a divorce paper, crush it in your hands.

D-4568 grabs the paper and crushes it in his hand.

Dr.██████: D-4568? how do yo-

D-4568: WHAT THE [DATA EXPUNGED]. YOU THINK YOU PIGS CAN JUST KEEP PLAYING WITH MY EMOTIONS LIKE THIS!? MY SISTER WAS SHOT AND KILLED! BY WHO? BY A DRUNK MAN WITH NO LOVE IN HIS HEART! THAT MAN WAS ME! AND YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST PLAY WITH ME LIKE I'M A TOY, DOC?! HUH!

D-4568 was detained by site security after getting too close to Dr.██████. 2 hours later the interview continued.

Dr.██████: Alright, you have calmed down, have you?

D-4568: Let's just finish this.

Dr.██████: The rest of us here are going to watch this next one from a room next door to this one. I want you to play the cassette tape once I say so over the intercoms.

D-4568: Right.

Dr.██████ exits the room followed by his escorts.

Dr.██████ (Intercom): Play the tape.

After 3 minutes Dr.██████ orders D-4568 to stop playing the tape and enters the room once again.

Dr.██████: How do you feel now?

D-4568: Calm. So-so calm…

Dr.██████: Calm as in happy?

D-4568: No.. I feel like I'm flying with the angels. Ha ha…

Dr.██████: Alright, well we have one last object for you to interact with.

D-4568: Let's.. Do it…

Dr.██████: The ribbon placed in front of you. Touch it.

D-4568 complies with his orders and touches the ribbon.

Dr.██████: And?

D-4568: I miss them so much…

Dr.██████: Your sister?

D-4568: My whole family… I want to see them again…

Dr.██████: At the end of the month you wil-

D-4568 gets up from his seat and runs toward one of the security escorts. The security officer shoots D-4568 3 times in the chest.

D-4568: Thank you…

D-4568 is deemed terminated.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: The human mind is not strong enough to withstand the powers SCP-XXXX-1-5 have on a living organism. I suggest any plan to use this to control one's emotional stability should no longer be taken into account.
