BY ORDER OF THE O5 DUDES THIS BLAH BLAH HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS SOMETHING MCJIBBY
Proofreaders be advised: in the first few parts, SCP-5XXX-A is the name of the human. "Failed hatching" is the name of the instance. I've definitely mixed them up a few times, so if you spot any of them, please tell meRework whole "discussion over conditions"
Phase 1: establishing the framework interview, test.
Phase 2: Exploring the framework Subject R. is not contagious unless under mnestics therapy.
Phase 3: Breaking the framework more testing and interviews. Discovered thingy
Phase 4: story climax Confrontation. climax. funtimes.
Current document: fluff
Phase 1- Subject R. is having a really tough time, being studied and otherwise treated like a thing.
Phase 2- Subject R. falls to despair, but starts climbing up. Studies on the anomaly continue, foreshadowing the twist
phase 3- Subject R. is trying her best to study, understand her new environment, how it operates, and how to (maybe) get more out of her situation. She requests reading material of all kinds. the anomaly's true nature is discovered.
Phase 4- all pieces set in place, big changes happen. Direct confrontation between Subject R. and the foundation researcher, leveraged by the new revelation.
Phase 5- conclusion. Decisions and events are solidified into protocols.
Once all is said and done, you may reward yourself by writing a fluff conclusion to things

Item #: SCP-5XXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: All instances of mature SCP-5XXX must be quarantined in a cognitohazard containment unit featuring a bulletproof glass divider. the divider is to be covered with a retractable metal panel for visual shielding. The panel is to remain engaged at all times unless otherwise specified by an assigned researcher. The room will also include an airlock system, and a non-automatic class-A amnestic gas disperser.
Anyone visiting a mature instance of SCP-5XXX must carry class-B amnestics on their person at all times.
Mature SCP-5XXX instances, while forceful, are not physically hostile.
Anyone suspecting they may have made direct eye contact with SCP-5XXX must expunge all memories of the event immediately, unless continuously supervised by a researcher with a level 4 clearance or higher. Unless maturation is desired for study purposes, maintaining memories of an exposure to a mature SCP-5XXX is to be restricted to 18 days.
SCP-5XXX-A, (formerly known as █████ █████), is a host to an instance of SCP-5XXX which has failed to hatch. As it appears to still be sentient, SCP-5XXX-A is to be kept in a similar yet separate cognitohazard containment cell, furished for standard humanoid containment. On top of that, SCP-5XXX-A will undergo frequent psychiatric observation, twice-weekly psychiatric evaluation and a weekly psychotherapy session.
SCP-5XXX-A displays no hostile tendencies, and is not physically dangerous beyond normal human abilities.
Edit- 23/JUN/18: SCP-5XXX-A is safe to interact with so long as it wears its reflective sunglasses and mirrored contacts.
Description: SCP-5XXX is a psychic contagion which, once matures, will spread its premature form to any sentient consciousness exposed to it.
Spread of the contagion is linked to the retention of a memory of the mature form's eyes. The use of amnestics, therefore, can prevent the outcome of an exposure.
SCP-5XXX-A, the host of "failed hatch", suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder. This is thought to be the cause of its failure to activate.
In interviews, SCP-5XXX-A describes its instance as:
“A pitch black, shadowy ball of smoke, with five glowing red dots (eyes?) in the center”.
All instances of SCP-5XXX, with the exception of SCP-5XXX-A, are non-sentient and unable to parse language.
Incubation phase: SCP-5XXX has an average incubation phase of 3 weeks. During incubation, subjects infected with SCP-5XXX report a sharp increase to nightmares, both in quantity and intensity. Moderate sleep deprivation occurs, impairing cognitive functions within the expected norm.
Subjects display no noticeable visual changes.
Mature phase: Once its incubation phase is concluded, SCP-5XXX fully consumes (replaces) the host’s psyche. As SCP-5XXX is not sentient, the host’s functions degrade significantly upon replacement.
SCP-5XXX is capable of walking upright, holding and lifting objects, and feeding itself with its hands. It has been noted to use excessive force in its conduct, and displays no sense of pain or self-preservation.
Despite its violent and reckless behavior, mature SCP-5XXX instances are not hostile towards humans. It is therefore theorized that exposing themselves is a reproductive instinct, and not a defense mechanism.
Subjects display no visual changes.
SCP-5XXX-A ("Failed Hatch"): SCP-5XXX-A is a mature instance hosted by a subject with Dissociative Identity Disorder. The instance has “failed to activate”, resulting in none of the effects detailed below. It is hypothesized that SCP-5XXX-A was caused by its host’s DID, but a definitive explanation has not been found.
The following is an excerpt from an interview conducted with SCP-5XXX-A:
"I couldn't remember this creature. I still can't. I just had a few weeks of horrible dreams, and I didn't think much of it. ███ and ████, however, absolutely could see it. They told me it was trying to hurt me, and that it isn't a part of me. I remember being terrified… ████. told me he would kill this creature, and I believed him. The nightmares stopped after that, so I assume he did it. He refuses to talk about it."
It should be stated here that SCP-5XXX-A's DID is by no means anomalous.
Researchers looking into SCP-5XXX are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with the latest psychiatric literature on the condition.

Prove that exposure to Subject R. isn't deadly
Research staff: Research lead Dr. Frank Elliot, Assigned psychiatrist Dr. Wynonna Lee (observing)
Hypothesis: Exposure to SCP-5XXX-A can be safeguarded with sufficient protective measures.Experiment Goal: To determine the nature of SCP-5XXX's spread, and what severity of measures is required to contain it.
Experiment process: Multiple D-Class personnel will create eye contact with SCP-5XXX-A. Contact will be filtered through different protective equipment. Subjects will be quarantined for 1 month post-exposure, and monitored for any changes.Results of post-quarantine examination
- No filter (for control): Subject not affected.
- Clear reading glasses: Subject not affected.
- mirrored sunglasses: Subject not affected.
- Welding goggles: Subject not affected.
- Blindfold (Fabric, fully opaque): Subject not affected.
- A camera and a monitor: Subject not affected.
Conclusions and researcher's notes:
Results inconclusive.
Possible explanations to this may be:
- SCP-5XXX-A is in control of its abilities, and was sabotaging this experiment.
- SCP-5XXX-A is only active under certain conditions.
- Experiment may have been faulty.
Follow-up procedures:
- SCP-5XXX-A is to be questioned thoroughly. Use of moderate force and/or sanctions approved if deemed necessary.
- EX_5XXX_002 is to be conducted post-haste.
- Request for a repeat of this experiment with a larger sample size has been submitted.
[END OF LOG]
In attendance: Lead researcher Dr. Frank Elliot, Assigned psychiatrist Dr. Wynonna Lee.
Interview goals: Establish whether or not SCP-5XXX-A had any interference with the test results due to reasons of conscious or will.
Notes: SCP-5XXX-A's eyes are covered with a telekill-plated helmet.
Dr. Elliot: SCP-5XXX-A. On the third of April 2018 you have participated in an experiment designed to test potential means of protecting others from exposure to your condition.
SCP-5XXX-A nods
Dr. Elliot: After a month of quarantine, none of the subjects tested displayed any changes, and have been deemed unaffected.
SCP-5XXX-A: They're all safe?! oh that's…!
SCP-5XXX-A inhales deeply, and sighs, shuddering slightly. It then looks up, having composed itself
SCP-5XXX-A: Thank you so much. I'm very happy to hear that.
Dr. Elliot: Fortunate though these results may be, they fails to clarify to us what measures need to be in place to keep your condition contained.
SCP-5XXX-A: I see… Yeah, that makes sense.
Dr. Elliot: Do you have any insight as to what might have caused this outcome?
Lengthy pause
SCP-5XXX-A: I assume it's because the crea…. SCP-5XXX-A… wasn't active?
Dr. Elliot: That is one of our hypotheses, yes. Anything else?
Pause
SCP-5XXX-A: I can't think of anything else, sorry. Could I ask why you're asking me this? I'm not a researcher.
Dr. Lee: Let me. SCP-5XXX-A- During testing, did you at any point hope for the subjects not to be affected? Could you describe any memory you have of your feelings back then?
SCP-5XXX-A: Of course. Give me a minute to try? Memory takes a lot of effort for me. you know how it is. Severe mental illness, trauma…
Dr. Lee: Take as long as you need.
SCP-5XXX-A remains silent for nearly a minute
SCP-5XXX-A: Alright. Tried my best here, but it's very spotty. The whole thing was pretty terrifying.
pause for 3 seconds
SCP-5XXX-A: Well… I assume I did, I really don't want to hurt anyone… But… during I think it was the test with the reading glasses? The guy who has swastikas over his arms…
pause for 2 seconds
SCP-5XXX-A: I remember thinking something like "Well, this one can go, I wouldn't feel guilty". Something along these lines.
Dr. Elliot chuckles for 2 seconds before audibly clearing his throat
Dr. Lee: I think this rules "intent" out. Anything you'd like to add?
SCP-5XXX-A: Will there be a repeat of the experiment?
Dr. Elliot: Likely.
SCP-5XXX-A: In that case- why not test coloured contacts? or reflective contacts?
Dr. Elliot: Thank you, SCP-5XXX-A. That will be all.
SCP-5XXX-A: Could you call me by my name please?
[END OF INTERVIEW]
conclusions and notes:
SCP-5XXX-A displays extreme cooperation in everything from body language to thought processes. Likelihood of intentional sabotage is close to none.
Its remark about D-273591 makes "lack of intent to harm" a very unlikely explanation either.
SCP-5XXX-A displays an unusual interest in its own containment, having proposed additional measures to be tested for that purpose.
SCP-5XXX-A is to continue to be referred to by its official designation only, as per protocols.

To: Prof. Eleonora Trench
Subject: Resource request for repeat of EX_5XXX_001
Good morning.
Attached are the logs from EX_5XXX_001.
As is probably clear, results are inconclusive and demand further testing.
I'd like to requisition 24 test subjects for a larger-scale, updated retry of EX_5XXX_001.
Secure, contain, protect
Dr. Frank Elliot, Level 3, head researcher on SCP-5XXX.
To: Dr. Frank Elliot
Subject: RE: Resource request for repeat of EX_5XXX_001
Request halted
Dear Dr. Elliot.
I've reviewed your request. While I appreciate your thoroughness, EX_5XXX_002 (experimenting on standard, mature specimen) and EX_5XXX_003 (Experiments with mnestics on 5XXX-A) take precedence in establishing SCP-5XXX's danger levels and required containment measurements.
Once EX_5XXX_002 and EX_5XXX_003 were conducted, please resubmit this request to me for reconsideration.Secure, contain, protect
Prof. Eleonora Trench, Level 4, psychohazard specialist.
Research staff: Research lead Dr. Frank Elliot, assigned psychiatrist Dr. Wynonna Lee (Observing)
Hypothesis: SCP-5XXX-A can be induced into an "active state" by negating its host's memory suppression through the use of class-X mnestics.
Experiment goals: To determine SCP-5XXX-A's danger level and required containment procedures.
Experiment process: SCP-5XXX-A's head will be affixed to a chair, and its eyes forced open with ocular speculums. Once set, SCP-5XXX-A will be injected with a low dose of class-X mnestics. A guard behind SCP-5XXX-A will apply various protective gear to SCP-5XXX-A's eyes without creating eye-contact. A series of D-class personnel will then enter the room ad establish direct eye contact with SCP-5XXX-A for 10 seconds.
Observation is to be conducted exclusively behind SCP-5XXX-AExcerpt from EX-5XXX_002 transcript
SCP-5XXX-A is struggling violently in its restraints. Rugged breath, snarling.
Dr. Elliot: 5XXX, please remain still!
Dr. Lee: I don't think it can process what you're saying, if it can even understand you stiill.
SCP-5XXX-A produces a choked scream, gasps in pain.
**Dr. Elliot: ** Let's hurry this up before it hurts itself.
SCP-5XXX-A inhales deeply, and growls
SCP-5XXX-A: (in a lower voice than usual) Break… Break! I'll BREAK YOU!
Dr. Lee: I think it's fighting it.
Dr. Elliot: Next D-Class, enter in quickly! Dr. Lee, what do you make of this?
Dr. Lee: Report later. I must concentrate.
Results of post-quarantine examination
- No filter (for control): Subject infected.
- Clear reading glasses: Subject infected.
- Coloured contacts: Subject infected.
- mirrored contacts: Subject not affected.
- mirrored sunglasses: Subject not affected.
- Welding goggles: Subject not affected.
- Blindfold (Fabric, fully opaque): Subject not affected.
- A camera and a monitor: Subject not affected.
Conclusions
As hypothesized, Failed hatch will indeed go into an active state under the effect of mnestics. This suggests that Failed Hatch Is contained via SCP-5XXX-A's memory suppression, caused by its Dissociative identity disorder.
During testing, SCP-5XXX-A's host has managed to re-contain SCP-5XXX after 16 minutes. This suggests that SCP-5XXX's interaction with DID patients is consistent and reproducible.Among the different protective measures, any measures which prevents the clear and direct observation of SCP-5XXX-A's eyeballs is effective at the prevention of the contagion.
Follow-up actions:
- Interview(s) with SCP-5XXX-A and its alters scheduled.
- Repeated testing with mnestics recommended.
- Updated containment procedures: SCP-5XXX-A Can now be safely interacted with while it wears one (or multiple) of the eye shielding mechanisms proven effective.
Might wanna add crueler testing regiments
In attendance: Lead researcher Dr. Frank Elliot. Assigned psychiatrist Dr. Wynonna Lee.
Note: SCP-5XXX-A is wearing both mirrored contacts and mirrored sunglasses.
Interview goals: To acquire a first-hand testimony from the mind directly responsible to SCP-5XXX-A successful containment of the Failed hatch SCP-5XXX.Dr. Lee: SCP-5XXX-A. We are conducting this interview today to discuss you and your alters. Please answer our questions to the best of your ability.
SCP-5XXX-A: Could you please call me █████? I've got a human name, what's wrong with my human name?
Dr. Elliot: Regulations. This is how we do things here.
SCP-5XXX-A: This is so dehumanizing. What's the point of this? Calling me my name couldn't possibly…
Dr. Elliot: 5XXX, let us please stick to the subject.
SCP-5XXX-A: It's. █████. █-█-█-█-█. It's really not a…
Dr. Elliot: 5XXX. Please save your complaints for the appropriate channels. Otherwise, I'll have to denote this as failure to cooperate with foundation personnel. I believe you're well-aware of what the implications of that are.
SCP-5XXX-A sighs theatrically
SCP-5XXX-A: I apologize for the interference, Dr. Elliot Sir. Please, proceed.Dr. Elliot: Very good. SCP-5XXX-A. During our experiment with mnestics, I believe you were briefed on what those are?
SCP-5XXX-A nods
Dr. Elliot: During the experiment, one of your alters surfaced.
Dr. Lee: Fronted.
Dr. Elliot: Is that the term? Anyway. Please direct your attention to the monitor to our left.
Dr. Elliot turns on a segment of video footage from EX_5XXX_002.
SCP-5XXX-A nods
Dr. Elliot: In the video, you threatened to "break" something, or someone. Could you tell us in your words what happened back then?
SCP-5XXX-A: I don't have any direct memories of that. I only know what ████ Told me happened. With that said, from what I understand- he fought that thing. And he won. Like he always does.
Dr. Lee: Could we talk to him directly?
SCP-5XXX-A: It depends on him really. My mental illness doesn't exactly "take requests". But I can try.
Dr. Elliot: Please do.
SCP-5XXX-A: Before that, a heads up?
Dr. Elliot: We don't have all day 5XXX.
SCP-5XXX-A takes a deep, slow breath, and exhales loudly.
SCP-5XXX-A: (In a significantly lower voice) Then stop wasting mine, Doctor.
Dr. Lee: ████, I presume?
SCP-5XXX-A laughs
SCP-5XXX-A: So you'll call me by my name, but not her? Shows the worth of your protocols, doctor.
Dr. Elliot: SCP-5XXX-A, please dispense with these off-topic remarks.
SCP-5XXX-A motions with its hand, in an exaggerated manner, for Dr. Elliot to proceed
Dr. Elliot: During the last time you've manifested, according to your… host?
Dr. Elliot looks to Dr. Lee
SCP-5XXX-A: She is not my host. And she has a name. Use her name.
Dr. Elliot: Last time you've manifested, during the experiment we've conducted on mnestics, do you remember that? You fought something, presumably.
SCP-5XXX-A: For the record- "Last time I've manifested" was 3 hours ago, while █████ was reading a book. Please try to be accurate. With that said and done, Yes, I remember the experiment.
Dr. Elliot is visibly flustered.
Dr. Lee: I know, Dr. Elliot, but try to be patient. We are speaking to a living, thinking, defense mechanism. It being defensive is very much to be expected.
SCP-5XXX-A: Dr. Lee is quite on point. I am █████'s shield. Down to my very core- I fight her fights. That is my pride.
Dr. Elliot: (Clearing his throat) And that includes SCP-5XXX, correct?
SCP-5XXX-A: But of course.
Dr. Elliot: Could you explain in detail?
SCP-5XXX-A: I could try, but I cannot promise it would make sense to you.
Dr. Elliot: Try me.
SCP-5XXX-A: Very well.
SCP-5XXX-A pauses for a moment, then clears its throat
SCP-5XXX-A: Borrowing Dr. Lee's definition, I am a living, thinking defense mechanism. That means I am both "A living thinking person" Meaning I have feelings, opinions, I care about certain things, I have fears, dreams, and…
Dr. Elliot: I know what "A living person" is.
SCP-5XXX-A laughs loudly
SCP-5XXX-A: How very ironic of you to say that.
Dr. Lee: You're frustrated. I get it. Let's finish this quickly, so we can go our separate ways.
SCP-5XXX-A: Fair enough. Now- I am both "A living person", and A defense mechanism. I can switch places with her, letting her go to quote unquote "sleep" in our subconscious. I can take away her harmful memories. I can reduce her blood pressure and heart rate if needed. Heck, I even have a slightly different alcohol tolerance, or so I'm told.
Dr. Elliot: So you're told?
SCP-5XXX-A: █████ reads everything there is to read on DID. She was an aspiring psychologist before you all came into her life. Not that it matters now…
It pauses for 5 seconds
Dr. Elliot: I see. So, back to your fight- How did you do it? How did you subdue SCP-5XXX?
SCP-5XXX-A: I'm… not sure this explanation would satisfy you, but symbolically, strictly within the confines of a metaphysical battle happening within the human subconscious- I cut it down. With a sword. Total bisection, clean through its middle eye.
Dr. Elliot: A… sword?
SCP-5XXX-A: Again. Symbolically. The sword isn't real. I promise.
Dr. Elliot: Yes, I can see that. Thank you. Did the creature say anything? Do anything?
SCP-5XXX-A: Floating there, sending tendrils of smoke around. Staring with its five eyes. Rumbling. Nothing coherent, just this sound, like a boiling kettle.Dr. Elliot: Thank you 5XXX, that would be all.
[END OF INTERVIEW]
Conclusions:SCP-5XXX-A's Failed hatching is caused by its protector alter, and its ability to erase SCP-5XXX-A's harmful memories.
This is in compliance with mainstream science, and in no way anomalous in nature.SCP-5XXX-A displayed rude, argumentative behavior. Leisure privileges have been reduced from class-3 to class-1 for one week.

Date: 27/JUL/18
Body: Yesterday, the 26th of July, 2018, I was called in for questioning with Dr. Frank Elliot and Dr. Wynonna Lee. During the interview, I was asked to voluntarily trigger an aspect of my mental Illness, a request to which I've complied.As part of this aspect of my mental illness, I was rendered less-than-cooperative with Dr. Elliot's questioning, and was behaving argumentatively and cynically through no choice of my own.
I've offered to provide prior warnings that could have prevented or mitigated this outcome, but my offer was denied.
Nonetheless, this behaviour I've exhibited, the behaviour I was instructed to exhibit, was deemed uncooperative by foundation staff, and was answered with punitive action.
I'd like to formally appeal this punishment, as I find it unfair and uncalled for. I did exactly as I was asked, and even offered helpful advice from my experience. This outcome was inevitable, and outside my control.
Response: Appeal approved
Note: The SCP foundation has a strict anti-discriminations policy over matters of mental illness, which extends to resident anomalies. Your leisure privileges have been restored.Secure, Contain, protect.

##Purple| make this one a lot harsher VVV#
In attendance: Lead researcher Dr. Frank Elliot, Assigned psychiatrist Dr. Wynonna Lee.
Dr. Elliot: SCP-5XXX-A. At your request, we are here to discuss your condition, and any unmet needs you have.
SCP-5XXX-A: Thank you for making the time for me. As I've discussed with Dr. Lee before, I'm noticing my mental state to be slowly deteriorating.
Dr. Elliot: Go on.
SCP-5XXX-A: Well, if I had to say… I have three major things that bother me.
Dr. Elliot motions with his hand for SCP-5XXX-A to keep talking
SCP-5XXX-A: For one, I think I could use some activity. The access to entertainment here is excellent, don't get me wrong, I'm never really "bored" per se, but… A person needs more than just books and video games to be happy.
Dr. Lee: Try giving an example?
SCP-5XXX-A: Back home, Back in my old life, I used to cook my own food. I used to study, mainly through the internet which I know I'm not allowed any access to don't worry
SCP-5XXX-A fidgets in its chair
SCP-5XXX-A: The food here is pretty good, but I feel like being allowed to make my own would be… good. for me. Yeah!
Dr. Elliot: What else?
SCP-5XXX-A: Well, uhh… do you think I could have a small kitchen in there? Nothing fancy, just a few basic tools and ingredients. Maybe I could bake some cookies to pass the time…
Dr. Elliot: I very much doubt it, but you are welcome to submit a formal request. You've mentioned 3 issues?
SCP-5XXX-A: yes. The second thing is social interaction. I'm pretty used to spending a lot of time by myself, but at some point the loneliness just gets… too much?
Dr. Lee: Slow down there. We've got at least another 20 minutes scheduled. No need to feel rushed.
SCP-5XXX-A takes a slow, deep breath.
SCP-5XXX-A: Okay. Got it.
Dr. Elliot: Socialization privileges are generally approved for humanoid anomalies, pending continued good behavior and cooperation with foundation personnel.
Dr. Lee: You should have no issues getting this permission. Your cooperation have been exemplary.
SCP-5XXX-A: Thank you.
Dr. Elliot: And for your final issue?
SCP-5XXX-A: Well…
SCP-5XXX-A inhales sharply, then sighs
SCP-5XXX-A: I'd like to discuss my treatment by the staff.
Dr. Elliot sighs audibly
Dr. Elliot: Please elaborate…
SCP-5XXX-A: You are calling me "Es-Si-Pi five Ex Ex Ex dash Ey" or "Five Ex Ex Ex" for short. You're referring to me with "It/Its" Pronouns. You're calling me a "Humanoid anomaly" rather than "Human", and its just… I'm not okay with it!
Dr. Elliot: These are procedures. These discussions are all recorded and transcribed, logged and studied. We have to maintain consistency.
SCP-5XXX-A: Even then, even for the sake of scientific study, this makes no sense! I am sick, infected with some anomalous psychic virus or whatever, but that doesn't make me the virus itself! we don't call cancer patients "leukemia-117" or schizophrenia patients "schizophrenia-703". I am █████ █████, and I am infected with SCP-5XXX-A. We're not the same. We're not. Right?
Dr. Lee: You're not. These are just official proceedings. Foundation protocols. It's how we do things here, and it isn't so easy to change.
SCP-5XXX-A: What is the highest authority I can submit requests to?
Dr. Elliot: That would be me and my team. We're in charge of your case. In rare cases we would pass requests higher up the chain, but your requests would not constitute such cases.
Regardless, I urge you to submit these requests. Despite appearances, it is in all of our interest to make sure that your needs are accounted for and that your containment is comfortable.SCP-5XXX-A stares for a moment
SCP-5XXX-A: Thank you very much, Sir.

Request: I'd like to request for a small kitchen to be installed in my containment chamber. That includes basic kitchen equipment and basic ingredients (i.e fresh vegetables, eggs, flour, etc)
Reason: I believe that activity and self-care would be conducive to the stability of my mental health. Cooking my own food is my baseline of normalcy. The benefits of it to my sanity would be immeasurable.
Response: DENIED
Notes: Dangerous equipment has the potential for self-harm.

Date: 1/AUG/18
Request: I'd like to apply for socialization privileges.
Reason: I'm starting to feel the burden of isolation weighing on me. I hope a chance for some light-hearted conversation could help me with that. Additionally, I understand that socialization privileges are the standard for residents who are cooperative and on good behavior. While I can assure you that my cooperation will continue regardless, I'd like to enjoy the benefits of it nonthheless.
Response: APPROVED
Note: The 5XXX research team would like to commend you on your good behavior and exemplary cooperation with the foundation. Keep it up!
- Socialization privileges are dependent on continued good behavior, and adherence to your safety protocol.
- When outside your cell, you must wear your reflective contacts and mirrored sunglasses at all times.
- Should you need to adjust your eye protection, a guard will escort you to a secure side room for you to do so safely.
- Failure to comply with your safety protocol will be followed with reconsideration of your socialization privileges.
Further details will be sent to your terminal.

Date: 1/AUG/18
Request: I'd like to be referred to by my real name, █████ █████. I'd like to be referred to by She/her pronouns, and, generally, for my humanity, and my distinctness from SCP-5XXX, to be formally recognized in all foundation proceedings. I'd like for my alters, ████ and ███, to receive the same treatment.
Reason: I am, in every sense of the word, not SCP-5XXX. I am its victim and its jailkeeper, but we are distinct, separate, entities.
Response: DENIED
Note:
Research staff: Research lead Dr. Frank Elliot, assigned psychiatrist Dr. Wynonna Lee (Observing), Prof. Eleonora trench (supervising)
Hypothesis: SCP-5XXX in its different stages is detectible via conventional biological identifiers.
Experiment goal: Develop a way to reliably diagnose SCP-5XXX victims.
Experiment process: 30 D-class personnel will undergo extensive EEG brain mapping before and after exposure to SCP-5XXX. their results will be compared to the scans of 30 mature instances of SCP-5XXX. Additional scans will be conducted at 3, 7, 14, and 18 days post-exposure.
Results
- 100% of mature SCP-5XXX instances tested exhibit identical abnormalities in sectors G-8, C-5, and E-6 of their frontal lobes.
- 27 of the 30 subjects exposed to SCP-5XXX exhibited these exact patterns, but on a smaller (factor of 0.2) scale.
- The pattern described above is confirmed to be anomalous in nature, and does not ressemble anything ever observed in humans, nor mammals in general.
- The 3 D-class personnel not exhibiting these patterns did not mature after 41 days.
- The pre-exposure scans of the 27 affected subjects revealed these very same patterns, on a miniscule (0.01 factor) scale.
- the pre-exposure scans of the 3 unaffected patients did NOT reveal these patterns.Conclusions
INCONCLUSIVE, pending repeat trial on larger sample size.
All hypotheses below are subject to edit or deletion, pending the retrial of EX_5XXX_009
- The evidence gathered in EX_5XXX_009_R01 suggests that a large part of the population already carries unique brain patterns linked to SCP-5XXX.
- Baring any new evidence, this implies that exposure to SCP-5XXX is NOT a spreading mechanism, but an activation mechanism, for an already existing entity.
- Simply put- the population at large may already be infected with SCP-5XXX.
- Origin of the entities- unknown.
- Alternative activation methods- Unknown.
- Until further notice, SCP-5XXX has been reclassified to object-class Keter.
- Access to this file is now restricted to Level-4 personnel or above.
- Prof. Eleonora trench, head of psychohazards, will take over as SCP-5XXX lead researcher

Item #: SCP-5XXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: All instances of mature SCP-5XXX must be quarantined in a cognitohazard containment unit featuring a bulletproof glass divider. The divider is to be covered with a retractable metal panel for visual shielding. The panel is to remain engaged at all times, unless otherwise specified by an assigned researcher. The room will also include an airlock system, and a non-automatic class-A amnestic gas disperser.
Anyone visiting a mature instance of SCP-5XXX must carry class-B amnestics on their person at all times.
Mature SCP-5XXX instances, while forceful, are not physically hostile.
Anyone suspecting they may have made direct eye contact with SCP-5XXX must expunge all memories of the event immediately, unless continuously supervised by a researcher with a level 4 clearance or higher. Unless maturation is desired for study purposes, maintaining memories of an exposure to a mature SCP-5XXX is to be restricted to 18 days.
SCP-5XXX-A, (formerly known as █████ █████), is a host to an instance of SCP-5XXX which has failed to hatch. It is still sentient and coherent. SCP-5XXX-A is to be kept in a similar yet separate cognitohazard containment cell, furnished for standard humanoid containment. On top of that, SCP-5XXX-A will undergo frequent psychiatric observation, twice-weekly psychiatric evaluation and a weekly psychotherapy session.
SCP-5XXX-A is not physically dangerous beyond normal human abilities, and displays amicable and cooperative behavior.
SCP-5XXX-A is safe to interact with so long as it wears its reflective sunglasses and mirrored contacts.
SCP-5XXX-A is approved for standard socialization privileges with approved site personnel and residents, pending good behavior and cooperation. This includes visitations to the cafeteria, the garden, and the Z-3 protected break room.
During any removal from its cell, SCP-5XXX-A is required to be wearing reflective contacts, as well as mirrored sunglasses. Guards escorting SCP-5XXX-A will carry a blindfold.
Description: SCP-5XXX is a psychoviral entity, the eggs of which are present in approximately 89.7% of the population. The contagion is dormant, but detectable using EEG brain mapping.
Visual sight of a mature SCP-5XXX’s eyes will induce incubation in anyone carrying an SCP-5XXX Egg. Incubation will only occur on the condition that memory of the exposure is retained. Amnestics are proven to prevent the hatching of SCP-5XXX.
SCP-5XXX-A, the host of "failed hatch", suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder. This is thought to be the cause of its failure to activate.
In interviews, SCP-5XXX-A is described by its host as:
“A pitch black, shadowy ball of smoke, with five glowing red dots (eyes?) in the center”.
All instances of SCP-5XXX, with the exception of SCP-5XXX-A, are non-sentient and unable to parse language.
Incubation phase: SCP-5XXX has an average incubation phase of 3 weeks. During incubation, subjects infected with SCP-5XXX report a sharp increase in nightmares, both in quantity and intensity. Moderate sleep deprivation occurs, impairing cognitive functions within the expected norm.
Subjects display no noticeable visual changes.
Mature phase: Once its incubation phase is concluded, SCP-5XXX fully consumes (replaces) the host’s psyche. As SCP-5XXX is not sentient, the host’s functions degrade significantly upon replacement.
SCP-5XXX is capable of walking upright, holding and lifting objects, and feeding itself with its hands. It has been noted to use excessive force in its conduct, and displays no sense of pain or self-preservation.
Despite its violent and reckless behavior, mature SCP-5XXX instances are not hostile towards humans. It is therefore theorized that exposing themselves is a maternal instinct, and not a defense mechanism.
Subjects display no visual changes.
SCP-5XXX-A ("Failed Hatch"): SCP-5XXX-A is a mature instance hosted by a subject with Dissociative Identity Disorder. The instance has “failed to activate”, resulting in none of the effects detailed below. It is hypothesized that SCP-5XXX-A was caused by its host’s DID, but a definitive explanation has not been found.
The following is an excerpt from an interview conducted with SCP-5XXX-A:
"I couldn't remember this creature. I still can't. I just had a few weeks of horrible dreams, and I didn't think much of it. ███ and ████, however, absolutely could see it. They told me it was trying to hurt me, and that it isn't a part of me. I remember being terrified… ████. told me he would kill this creature, and I believed him. The nightmares stopped after that, so I assume he did it. He refuses to talk about it."
It should be stated here that SCP-5XXX-A's DID is by no means anomalous.
Researchers looking into SCP-5XXX are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with the latest psychiatric literature on the condition.

Submitted by Prof. Eleonora trench, Lead researcher on SCP-5XXX, At the request of site director Lilly Erickson
Following EX_5XXX_009_R01, and the preceding EX_5XXX_009_R02 through R08, as well as EX_5XXX_010 through 015, SCP-5XXX's object classification has permanently been raised to "Keter".
This is to reflect the alarming discovery that the level at which the SCP foundation is capable of containing the SCP-5XXX psychovirus is partial at best, and unknowable at worst.At this moment in time, we are capable of detecting and containing both incubating and active instances of SCP-5XXX. Dormant (egg) instances, however, are present in an estimated 89.7% of the population at large. EX_5XXX_012 and the following EX_5XXX_013 has proven that beyond any reasonable doubt.
The research team, and the foundation at large, now face two enigmas:
- The origin of these eggs is currently unknown.
- Alternative hatching mechanisms have not been observed so far, but the existence of them cannot be safely ruled off.
Until we know the answer to these questions, I'm hereby recommending for the SCP-5XXX to be declared an active emergency, and for additional resources to be funneled towards its resolution.
Secure, Contain, Protect.
Prof. Trench, Lead researcher on SCP-5XXX.
VVVVVV add some remark regarding how she shouldn't get punished for her alter's behaviour
In attendance: Lead researcher Prof. Eleonora Trench, Assistant researcher Dr. Aiden Hallguard.
SCP-5XXX-A: A state of emergency? That's… Horrifying.
Prof. Trench: Indeed. Which is why I took over your case. I'm far higher up the chain.
SCP-5XXX-A: I see…
Prof. Trench: I am of the opinion that your alters are the key to solving this riddle. I'd like to conduct thorough interviews with each of them, if possible.
SCP-5XXX-A: O-Of course, I can do that! ███ has been really wanting to talk to one of…
SCP-5XXX-A pauses for a second
Prof. Trench: Go on?
SCP-5XXX-A: (in a slightly nasally voice) Seems like I swapped mid-sentence. It happens sometimes. Me and █████ are basically twins.
Prof. Trench: No no, that is perfectly fine. Well then, SCP-5XXX-A, I'd like to start from…
SCP-5XXX-A: Trench, was it?
Prof. Trench: Professor trench, or professor, thank you.
SCP-5XXX-A: ███, a pleasure.
SCP-5XXX-A offers its hand for a handshake
Prof. Trench: Your host has already been explained this multiple times, SCP-5XXX-A. Your naming conventions are a strict part of protocol.
SCP-5XXX-A pulls its hand back
SCP-5XXX-A: A protocol which manages not only to be completely inefficient, but also wrong, AND insulting. There should be a special award for that.
Prof. Trench: 5XXX, as was explained to your host…
SCP-5XXX-A: █████ is not my host. We front for equal amounts of time. Come on now, you're smart, you have to see that it only makes sense to use our names here! I bet your transcripts are hell to read…
Prof. Trench: That…
SCP-5XXX-A: Do you disagree, SCP-5XXX-B?
Prof. Trench: E-Excuse me? This kind of behavior will not…
SCP-5XXX-A: Professor Trench. I promise you my complete cooperation, and the honest reply to any question you may pose to myself or the others. It is in my… our complete interest to assist in the resolution of this case, for the good of all humanity. To do that, I am trying to illustrate an important point. Would you hear me out?
Prof. Trench takes a long sip of her tea.
SCP-5XXX-A: Professor Trench. As you've made it clear, SCP-5XXX has infected almost 90% of everyone. All of humanity. Correct?
Prof. Trench: …Correct.
SCP-5XXX-A: In other words- 90% of the world's population are hosts to the SCP-5XXX psychovirus. Has the penny dropped yet?
Prof. Trench sighs
Prof. Trench: If only half my team was this sharp…
SCP-5XXX-A Exposes its teeth, chuckling
SCP-5XXX-A: That's game, set, and match. I'm just as much of an SCP-5XXX host as you and pretty-boy over there. Please correct your designations.
Prof. Trench: You'll have to make a formal request through the appropriate channels. Will you cooperate now?
SCP-5XXX-A: Gladly, Professor Trench. Let's get right on it.
Conclusions from interview
in attendance: Lead researcher Prof. Eleonora Trench, Assistant researcher Dr. Aiden Hallguard.
Dr. Hallguard: To answer your question, yes. You may resubmit your formal requests or appeal them, provided you have an adequate reason to do so. You may do so once every yearly quarter.
SCP-5XXX-A: Thank you very much, Dr. Hallguard.
Prof. Trench: And about your other point?
SCP-5XXX-A: Yes, well, I'd like to ask for your assistance, as my primary… Observer? Caretaker…? Primary psychiatric evaluating-person, I suppose.
Prof. Trench: The designation is "Assigned psychiatrist".
SCP-5XXX-A: Roger that! As my assigned psychiatrist, I'd like to ask for your support.
Prof. Trench: Just be out with it, if you'd be so kind.
SCP-5XXX-A takes a deep, long breath.
SCP-5XXX-A: I'd like for you to compile an official report attesting that I'm not a risk to myself.
Prof. Trench takes a long sip of her coffee, motioning for SCP-5XXX-A to proceed
SCP-5XXX-A: I've been under constant, creepy levels of observation for almost a year now. I try not to think of the implications of that too hard…
Dr. Hallguard: Humanoid observation is usually staffed with asexual personnel. Addendum 36 to the camera operation guide after the ████████████████████ ████████████.
Prof. Trench: Dr. Aiden, please keep such discussions to the cafeteria. SCP-5XXX-A, please focus?
SCP-5XXX-A: Yeah. Sorry. Of course. Thank you for clarifying that though! But yeah.
SCP-5XXX makes a show of clearing its throat
SCP-5XXX-A: I've been under constant observation, frequent psychiatric evaluation, and REALLY excellent therapy. Like, holy crap.
Prof. Trench Clears her throat. am I taking the "Subject R. has ADHD thing a bit too far? I might be…
SCP-5XXX-A: It should be very well-established that I have no risk of self harm. Never have, for that matter. I'm pretty proud of that.
Dr. Hallguard nods
SCP-5XXX-A: When I submitted my request for a rudimentary kitchen to be installed in my cell, I'm pretty sure I explained that it is because "making my own food is my baseline of normalcy". It's a form of self-care that keeps me together at the worst of times.
Now, I'd understand if this is a budget issue, but since that wasn't detailed in the response…Prof. Trench: So you want me to write you a letter affirming that you aren't at risk of self-harm, so you may use it to appeal your request.
SCP-5XXX-A: Yes please.
Dr. Hallguard: This isn't only about self-harm, you have to understand. This is also about danger to others, or *potential* self-harm. Like, what if, some day into the far far future, something changes with your risk of self-harm? They just don't want to take that chance.
SCP-5XXX-A: Because I'm just some object you want to keep…
Dr. Hallguard: That's how the foundation sees it.
SCP-5XXX-A: Hmmm… I,
Prof. Trench: Thank you Dr. Hallguard. You two may continue this conversation in the cafeteria if you wish. 5XXX-A, will that be all?
[END OF LOG]
By: SCP-5XXX-A
Date: 14/JAN/19
Request: I'd like to appeal the denial of my request for a rudimentary kitchen to be installed in my cell.
Reason: As indicated in the letter attached by Prof. Eleonora Trench Lead researcher, I am in no way a risk to my own safety, or to the safety of others. The ability to make my own food would be immensely beneficial to my mental health, mental fortitude. Mental fortitude which, may I note, is the sole force maintaining the instance of SCP-5XXX-A I am infected with docile and available for study.
Additional notes: While I understand that some (knives, fire) goes in direct opposition to many basic safety protocols of the SCP foundation, I feel that those shouldn't outright negate my request.
You could, for example, have any sharp objects be stored at the guard's post, to be requisitioned by me only when specifically required.
You could also implement induction stoves rather than fire/coil ones, as they do not directly create heat and cannot be used for any destructive purposes.
The point I'm trying to make is- this is doable, quite simple, and highly beneficial.
I implore you to consider these options.
Response: Partially approved
Note: see attached letter.
By: SCP-5XXX-A, SCP-5XXX-A, and SCP-5XXX-A
Date: 14/JAN/19
Request: We would like to appeal and request again for our real names, our preferred pronouns, and our human nature, to be recognized in all official and unofficial proceedings.
Reason: For both practical and academic purposes, referring to both us AND the anomaly we are containing with the same designation is, frankly, wrong.
- For one, as I hope the details of this form clearly illustrates, official foundation protocols have no way of distinguishing between us, distinction which, for the purpose of our study, should be a baseline requirement.
- Further, it has to be stated that SCP-5XXX-A and us are distinct, opposing entities. We are SCP-5XXX-A's jailkeepers. It is our opposition. We'd like to submit our objection, and our offense, to being referred to with the same name as our adversary.
- Finally, on the conceptual level, us being the host of an SCP-5XXX instance is not reasonable ground to designate us as SCP-5XXX-A. From every account, there is a 90% chance that each of you processing these requests is also a host to SCP-5XXX. What is the difference between us? I'd ascertain that there is none. We are all fellow hosts to the same anomaly. We should be entitled to the same system of signifiers.
Response: Undecided
Note: see attached letter.
Subject: Invitation to an official hearing
The director of site-138, Dir. Lilly Erickson, as well as Representative of the ethics committee Mx. Alex Fleet, have reviewed your files, and are hereby inviting you to an official hearing to further discuss your claims and requests.
Please be advised that this is not in any way intended to convey punitive action.
Dir. Erickson would like to personally commend you for your cooperation with the foundation's goals, and on the positive influence you've demonstrated on both residents and staff.Secure, Contain, Protect.
Felix Emberly, secretary to Dir. Erickson, site 138.
In attendance: Site 138 Director Dir. Lilly Erickson; Representative of the ethics committee Mx. Alex Fleet; Lead researcher on SCP-5XXX Prof. Eleonora Trench. Assistant researcher on SCP-5XXX Dr. Aiden Hallguard. Representative of the department of security Sgt. Fred Hirsch. Representative of the department of research Dr. Alfred Barrymore.
Additionally present: Representative from the Department of security (Rep. Security). Representative from the department of accounting (Rep. Accounting). Representative from the department of human resources (Rep. HR).
Dir. Erickson: Thank you all for finding the time to join us. I'm sure you're all very busy, and so I'd like to ask us all to remain prompt and on topic. Leave your pleasantries for the cafeteria, and say your piece, even at the risk of sounding rude.
Nods of agreement across the table
Dir. Erickson: SCP-5XXX-A. We are gathered here, among other things, to discuss your designation as "SCP-5XXX-A". This is a matter of protocols. Until we've signed on an official decision, I'd like to ask for your patience with this designation throughout this meeting.
SCP-5XXX-A: Absolutely, Director Erickson.
Dir. Erickson: Very good. We have three topics on today's agenda. Let's begin with the smallest of them: You've all read the request made by SCP-5XXX-A regarding an installation of a rudimentary kitchen in its cell, including its thorough specifications and proposals of security measures. Does anyone have any comments?
Silence
Dir. Erickson: Sgt. Hirsch, does this proposal seem feasible?
Sgt. Hirsch: Shouldn't be a problem keeping a kitchen knife for her in one of the lockers. Besides that, what you have to remember is that SCP-5XXX is keter class. Given the amount of security it's under, I doubt it can get very far with a frying pan or a roller pin.
Dir. Erickson: Thank you Sgt. Hirsch. Anyone else?
Mx. Fleet: The ethics committee has always been in support for allowing sentient residents to maintain as much normalcy as is feasible.
Dir. Erickson: Acknowledged, Mx. Fleet. if that is all, I am hereby approving this request.
Dir. Erickson signs a document
Dir. Erickson: With that accounted for. We will now discuss SCP-5XXX-A's second proposal. SCP-5XXX-A would like to officially be referred to by its former name, its preferred pronouns, and be officially recognized as a separate entity from SCP-5XXX-A.
SCP-5XXX-A has stated multiple justifications for this appeal, And I trust you've all read them. Does anyone have any comments on the matter?Dr. Barrymore raises his hand
Dir. Erickson: yes?
Dr. Barrymore: I am opposed to making the change to the documentation protocol to accommodate one niche case. The protocols are there for the efficiency and ease-of-use of these documents.
Dir. Erickson: Noted. Anyone else?
Prof. Trench: I'm on the fence. On the one hand, a sweeping change to the protocol would be pretty nightmarish. On the other hand, reading through an interview where I'm talking to SCP-5XXX-A, SCP-5XXX-B, and SCP-5XXX-C about SCP-5XXX is exceedingly unwieldy. I find myself writing their initials on the side, or highlighting them with different colours just to make sure I didn't confuse them. From where I'm standing, this is a pile of human errors waiting to happen.
SCP-5XXX-A Raises its hand
Dir. Ericksson: Thank you Professor Trench. 5XXX-A, anything you'd like to add?
SCP-5XXX-A: Yes, thank you. If I may- What is exactly the point of this protocol?
Dr. Barrymore: You see, we read dozens of files a day as part of our jobs. Oftentimes we read multiple of them at once. Having to keep track of which name corresponds with each file could be incredibly inefficient.
SCP-5XXX: This… Am I the only one seeing the oversight there?
Dr. Barrymore: I see no such thing. This is a logical system.
Dir. Erickson: Enlighten us, 5XXX-A.
SCP-5XXX-A Lifts a piece of paper, and pretends to read from it
*SCP-5XXX-A:** "And so it is according to these findings that we can conclude that Kevin… Wait who was Kevin again? Oh right! SCP-503! It's right here at the top of the page! Just like it's on the top of EVERY page! I'm so glad we programmed our computers to print files this way!"
silence
SCP-5XXX-A: You can just do that, right? I realize I don't exactly know how your systems…
Dir. Erickson: No, that is quite doable… Any comments?
Dr. Barrymore: We'd have to look into it further, but… this could work.
Dir. Erickson: Excellent. Moving on then. SCP-5XXX-A asserts that it is a distinct and separate entity from SCP-5XXX. would anyone like to comment?
Prof. Trench: Yes indeed. SCP-5XXX-A, we are fully aware that you are distinct from SCP-5XXX. That has always been the case. the "-A" suffix is there to denote that. In official documentation, we refer to the instance of SCP-5XXX you're afflicted with "failed hatch".
SCP-5XXX-A: It gets a name. This thing gets to have a name…
Prof. Trench: It's just a technicality.
Dir. Erickson: We can air this out later.
SCP-5XXX-A takes a deep breath, then nods
Dir. Erickson: SCP-5XXX-A has further asserted that our designation of it, as a whole, is inaccurate. In tests we've conducted, everyone at this table, with the exception of Dr. Hallguard, are carriers of the SCP-5XXX psychovirus. SCP-5XXX-A Assets that this either invalidates its own designation, or alternatively, calls for everyone at the table to be designated as instances of SCP-5XXX.
Dr. Barrymore: Preposterous.
SCP-5XXX-A: How so? Is there any substantial difference between me as a host and you as a host?
Dr. Barrymore: Your DID. The loophole in the phenomena involving your alters. it is a wholly unique case, worthy of note, study, and designation.
SCP-5XXX-A: But my DID is ordinary. It is explainable by mainstream science.
Mx. Fleet: On behalf of the ethics committee- The SCP foundation has a strict anti-discriminations policy against those who are disabled or mentally ill, Doctor. Outside of matters of containment and security, we cannot take a person's mental illness into consideration when conducting our bureaucratic affairs.
Dir. Erickson: thank you Mx. Fleet.
SCP-5XXX-A: I am not SCP-5XXX. I am SCP-5XXX's jailkeeper. We all are. Me, and ████, and ███. We are its special containment procedures, and we do it better than any cell, and any guard. We play our little role in keeping this planet safe, just like everyone else in this room. Don't you think we deserve the barest of recognition for it?
Dir. Erickson: I think, if nothing else, that this is a sentiment everyone sitting here can respect, regardless of our ability to operate on it.
SCP-5XXX-A: Thank you, Ma'am.
Dir. Erickson: Before I close this subject, does anyone have any other remarks?
Dr. Hallguard: Well, I hate to say it, I really do, and I'd like to preface this by saying that I wholly support the change to your designation. But, the real names of residents are systematically censored here. It's an automatic process by the system. It would take a whole different panel to consider overruling that system, and frankly, I don't think that would be a good idea.
Dir. Erickson: Thank you Dr. Hallguard. Fortunately, that is a small technical matter to fix. In the event that these changes come through, SCP-5XXX-A will be assigned a pseudonym, or a codename.
Dr. Hallguard nods
Dir. Erickson: Anyone else? no? Well in that case, I approve of miss █████'s second request.
Miss █████ gasps
Miss █████: C-Could you say that again?
Dir. Erickson: Very well done Miss █████. You've quite literally bent this foundation your way with nothing but your wits, your calm, and your logic.
Miss █████ is dumbfounded
Dir. Erickson: This, as you may have already assumed, carries VERY significant consequences.
