Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be held in a secure storage vault at Site-77. An aluminum plate is to be attached to SCP-XXXX's surface via magnetic locks. These locks can only be opened remotely by staff of Level Four or higher. No personnel are to directly view SCP-XXXX, with the exception of Class-D personnel undergoing testing. Exposed subjects are to be monitored throughout the duration of SCP-XXXX's effect. Individuals who suffer from accidental exposure to SCP-XXXX may request to be terminated.
Description: SCP-4971 is a 0.5 m x 1 m wall-mounted mirror. The frame of SCP-XXXX is intricately crafted from gilded oak. There is an inscription at the top of the framework which reads "The Idiot."
Subjects who view their reflection in SCP-XXXX will immediately begin to doubt their own intelligence. After approximately 48 hours of initial exposure to SCP-XXXX, subjects begin having difficulty recollecting relatively minor information, including commands, conversations between themselves and others, and objects in their surroundings. This will quickly escalate to the affected individual making an unusually large number of grammatical and mathematical errors. Subjects' anxiety levels will often increase dramatically during this stage.
Approximately 60 hours after exposure, subjects will cease to be capable of the intake of knowledge. This causes exposed subjects to suffer from severe depression. An affected individual will not be able to recall most previous knowledge of mathematics, geography, and science, and their vocabularies will shrink drastically. Subjects forget all information concerning them as an individual, with the exception of their name, age, appearance, birthdate, and some exceptionally significant events in their lives, as well as the names and appearances of people that had a strong impact on them. One out of five exposed subjects attempt to commit suicide in this state.
Approximately 65 hours after initial exposure, subjects' fine motor skills become ineffective, followed by loss of the ability to walk. The affected person's vocabulary has become severely impaired by this stage. Subjects have no recollection of themselves as an individual, with the exception of their first name and, in some cases, last name. Subjects in this state are unable to properly care for themselves.
Approximately 68 hours after being exposed, subjects become completely immobile. Affected persons are completely unable to eat, drink, or speak. This will result in the death of the individual if medical action is not taken promptly.
SCP-XXXX was found inside the home of the late Liam Orico, a carpenter living in [REDACTED] Ireland. Orico had sought psychological attention under the circumstances that he was gradually forgetting all previous knowledge about himself. The psychiatrist which Orico visited was unable to find a definite diagnosis for Orico's condition. Orico reportedly went missing the day after seeking help. Local police found Orico dead in his bedroom approximately one week after his disappearance, along with SCP-XXXX. Two days after the event, all officers involved in the recovery of Orico's body reported similar symptoms as Orico had the week prior. This series of events came to the attention of Agent ███, who was posted near the area at the time. After interviewing the officers affected by the event, Agent ███ contacted the Foundation, and a Mobile Task Force was sent to remove SCP-XXXX from Orico's home.
Addendum XXXX-A: An interview of a Class-D personnel in the later stages of exposure to SCP-XXXX, conducted on 11-21-20██.
Interviewed: D-7963
Interviewer: Researcher Sven Treabor
Foreword: D-7963 was brought in for an interview 65 hours after initial exposure to SCP-XXXX. Researcher Sven Treabor attempted to help D-7963 recollect details about his background.
Dr. Treabor: "Alright. Can you tell me your name?"
D-7963: "Yeah. I'm ████ ██████."
Dr. Treabor: "Good. Are you married?"
D-7963: "Yes."
Dr. Treabor: "What is her name?"
D-7963: "What's whose name?"
Dr. Treabor: "Your wife. I want to know the name of your wife."
D-7964: "Oh… Uh… I think it… I think her name was… █████."
Dr. Treabor: "Tell me about █████."
D-7964: "Well, she had beautiful blue eyes, and long, red hair, and… That's all I remember."
Dr. Treabor: "She must have been very lucky to have a guy like you."
D-7964: "N-not really."
Dr. Treabor: "What makes you say that?"
D-7964: "I did something that I shouldn't have done."
Dr. Treabor: "What did you do?"
D-7964: "I can't remember. You work here, right? You should know."
Dr. Treabor: "I'm sorry, but I haven't heard any negative remarks about you in all my time working here. You are reputable for following directions."
D-7964: "Liar! You know something I don't, don't you, you motherfucker? Tell me why. Why can't I remember who I am? Why can't I remember █████?"
[D-7964 begins weeping and babbling incoherently, and Dr. Treabor swiftly exits the room.]
Closing Statement: "It has become apparent that we need to get brain scans of Class-D personnel exposed to SCP-XXXX. This could give us a better understanding of how the object affects the mind, and could possibly allow us to develop a treatment for its effects." -Dr. Treabor
