Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard Size C Object Containment Cabinet, High Security Storage. All testing must be approved and overseen by at least one (1) 05 council member. Unauthorized testing will result in immediate termination at the 05 council's discretion.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a necklace 50 cm in diameter made of an unidentified black metal with a clasp at the back. The front is tied around a large pendant, 9 cm in diameter and made of the same black metal. The pendant is comprised of a circular ring of interwoven, thick tendrils 1.5 cm in diameter. The surface of SCP-XXXX lacks any maker's marks, weld seams, polish seams, or other indications of manufacture that usually occur in non-anomalous jewelry. SCP-XXXX repels any foreign substances applied to it, thus remaining clean at all times.
SCP-XXXX's primary anomalous effect occurs when a human subject wearing it around their neck watches, reads, listens to, plays, or in any way consumes media which tells a fictional story. After the story is consumed, the setting, characters, events, and locations present at the beginning of the story will occur in the real world, referred to as an SCP-XXXX-1 instance.
Testing with fictional stories with a setting entirely removed from Earth in baseline reality (in genres such as high fantasy, isekai, and historical fiction) have resulted in no observed SCP-XXXX-1 instances. It is theorized that such SCP-XXXX-1 instances have occurred, but in locations or timelines the SCP Foundation has no access to.
An SCP-XXXX-1 instance is not triggered by any of the following media:
- Fictional stories significantly modified by Foundation staff for purposes of testing SCP-XXXX.
- Fictional stories written by Foundation staff for purposes of testing SCP-XXXX.
- Accounts of historical events intended by the author to be accurate (actual truthhood of account has no effect on whether it will trigger an SCP-XXXX-1 instance).

Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be stored as an attachment to this database entry behind a level 2 authorization firewall. Testing with SCP-XXXX may only be performed on D-class personnel. Foundation staff who view SCP-XXXX are to be removed from the testing environment and provided a cigarette which they are required to smoke for at least 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a digital image attached to this file. A human subject who views SCP-XXXX becomes an instance of SCP-XXXX-1. An SCP-XXXX-1 instance possess an anomalously heightened awareness of their own needs for optimum health, increasing in intensity in four stages over the course of approximately 1.5 years since initial exposure. Additional exposure to SCP-XXXX has no effect on an SCP-XXXX-1 instance.
At any time, an SCP-XXXX-1 instance can be reverted to a normal human by being under the effect of a narcotic drug (such as cigarettes) for at least 2 minutes and 30 seconds. See Document XXXX-40 for a list of all known effective narcotics. The reverted subject will not lose memory of their time being an SCP-XXXX-1 instance. Subjects reverted during the first or second stage suffer no ill effects, and report a lasting improvement in physical and mental health after being reverted. Subjects reverted at Stage 3 or later suffer irreversible psychological damage necessitating termination.
First Stage (0 days to 1 year since exposure)
An individual SCP-XXXX-1 instance will possess an acute awareness of exactly how to maintain and improve their physical and mental health, including:
- The subject will know the exact optimum exercise routines and advanced exercise techniques for their body to achieve maximum fitness.
- The subject will know the exact optimum food types and quantity to eat for maximum dietary health.
- The subject will know advanced techniques to improve focus, mood, and memory.
- The subject will know exactly what media (movies, books, videogames, etcetera) are good for their mental health and which are not.
An SCP-XXXX-1 instance will actively seek out all beneficial courses of action revealed to them by their new awareness, rapidly and vastly improving mood, job performance, fitness, and health. The techniques learned are themselves non-anomalous, but are instinctively known by an SCP-XXXX-1 instance through anomalous means.
Second Stage (1 year to 1 year 4 months since exposure)
An SCP-XXXX-1 instance's awareness of personal needs will increase in precision to the point of them developing pseudo-precognitive awareness, instinctively knowing the course of action with the most personal benefit in all situations regardless of prior knowledge. Such personal benefits include all aspects of the subject's life, from meeting potential romantic partners to winning games to avoiding lethal accidents. Containment of Stage 3 instances is extremely difficult if they lack loyalty to the Foundation, due to their ability to preemptively counteract actions by Foundation security personnel.
Third Stage (1 year 4 month to 1 year 6 months since exposure)
An SCP-XXXX-1 instance will have an abrupt shift in personality and behavior, becoming socially withdrawn and extremely irritable. The subject will begin consuming media for vastly longer periods of time than they did in Stage 2 (for example, one subject who read for 1-2 hours daily in Stage 2 began reading 8-14 hours daily in Stage 3). Attempts by other to converse with the SCP-XXXX-1 instance or prevent them from consuming the media of their choice will result in angry outbursts and dismissal, subsiding only when the subject is left alone to consume media. The media consumed also becomes vastly different and more diverse than what the SCP-XXXX-1 instance preferred in prior stages. One SCP-XXXX-1 subject was previously a fan of crime mystery books, but upon reaching Stage 3 switched to reading 20th century erotica, airplane technical manuals, and watching low-quality hobby animations on the internet. Other than becoming socially withdrawn, the SCP-XXXX-1 instance will continue their exercise and eating routines to maintain their health.
Fourth Stage (1 year 6 months onward)
An SCP-XXXX-1 instance will abruptly begin laughing with maniac intensity continuously for approximately 2 hours until passing out. They will regain conscious 2-6 minutes later, when they will then begin attempting to kill all mammalian organisms they can through whatever methods are available to them. After killing a victim, the SCP-XXXX-1 subject will meticulously and cleanly remove the eyeballs from the corpse, then swallow the eyeballs whole. SCP-XXXX-1 subjects will priortize mammalian organism they personally knew and had affection towards (such as friends, family, and pets).
Creation and History
SCP-XXXX was developed in 2016 by Dr. Hank Yuel as Project Ambrosia. The project was intended as a memetic treatment to improve health and morale of Foundation personnel. The project progressed in 3 phases. Phase 1 (09/09/2016)-(09/29/2016) consisted of exposing 12 D-class to the Ambrosia meme and monitoring their health. The D-class experienced vast improvements in physical and mental health with no observed side effects, causing the project to be cleared to enter Phase 2. Phase 2 consisted of 8 volunteer Foundation staff of at least Clearance Level 1 being exposed to Ambrosia and monitored over the next 6 months (10/01/2016-04//2017) while they continued their normal daily routines. All 8 individuals experienced vast improvements in physical and mental health and a 250% increase in work productivity, causing Project Ambrosia to be cleared for Phase 3. Phase 3 consisted of a trial run on all consenting staff at Research Site 47.
