SCP-5970 after neutralization
Item #: SCP-5970
Object Class: Safe Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5970 is to be kept in a standard containment unit. The unit is only to be accessed every four hours, for transfer of Class-D personnel and testing. All Class-D personnel assigned to SCP-5970-A are to be kept adequately sustained with food, water, and medicinal supplies required.
Description: SCP-5970 is a black leather sofa of unknown design. There are no recognizable brands or manufacturers marks. SCP-5970 is immune to defacing or damage of any type, with any graffiti disappearing over a short time, although tests of the leather that covers the chair identify it as regular treated leather.
If there are one or more people seated on SCP-5970, the last person to stand will be unable to remove themselves from SCP-5970. This subject is designated SCP-5970-1. A closer look at the place of contact between the subject and SCP-5970 has shown the sofa and SCP-5970-1 are not bonded in any way, leaving the cause of a subject's inability to get up unknown.
Prolonged exposure to SCP-5970 causes no serious physical harm, but instead affects the mind, producing a sense of tiredness and/or laziness. This culminates with a wish to sit on SCP-5970. When the subject is seated on SCP-5970, the subject feels no desire to get up, nor any sense of panic when they discover their inability to move. Subjects who separate from SCP-5970 have no lasting effects, but are influenced more strongly by the desire to rest on SCP-5970 in future. It is unknown if separation from SCP-5970 causes any harm, although testing seems to suggest that no harm is done with base separation. Experiments have shown that SCP-5970 must always have at least one subject seated on it at all times.
Any non-sapient life placed upon SCP-5970 is seemingly unaffected by its anomalous properties, but instead develops advanced brain cancer, which is always fatal within 24 hours.
Recovery: SCP-5970 was discovered on May ██, 20██. It was discovered when a man was reported absent from his job by his workmates for several days in a row. The matter was dismissed as sick leave, until acquaintances of his found him sitting on SCP-5970 in his living room. When the subject was unable to be moved, one of the other subjects accidentally sat on SCP-5970, upon which he found he was unable to move, and the previous subject died instantly1. Foundation personnel were alerted by other members of the local authorities, and arrived within a few hours. An MTF agent took the place of the officer currently seated on SCP-5970, and SCP-5970 was transported to a secure location with the agent still seated on it.
Also found in the building was a stained picture of the deceased subject and a young girl. They appeared to be in a hospital ward, and the female subject appeared to be going through radiotherapy. Female subject was identified as Johanna Calloway, who died at age 7 from brain cancer. Deceased subject was identified as Marcus Calloway, cousin to F███████ Calloway, a former Foundation researcher.
Several months after containment of SCP-5970, during an unrelated operation, field agents found two letters, one addressed to the deceased subject, and another addressed to an unknown recipiant. Both letters were found in a former █████████ base Both are recorded below.
