Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within a opaque briefcase in an empty 10m x 10m room, with a single window for observation. 4 cyanide dispensers are located in each corner of the room, which are used to terminate any personnel within the room. The room must be secured by both a fingerprint sensor and a key-lock. The key to the key-lock is to be in the possession of Dr. ██████. SCP-XXXX-1 is to be contained in SCP-XXXX at all times unless being handled or viewed with authorization. Any requests to view or handle SCP-XXXX-1 must be approved by O5-█ and supervised by Dr. ██████.

Only Class-D personnel are allowed to physically handle and/or view SCP-XXXX-1. When SCP-XXXX is being viewed by said Class-D personnel, no other staff are to attempt to see the contents of SCP-XXXX. After each experiment, if not terminated, subjects will be given a Class-B Amnesiac and returned to duty. Unauthorized viewing of SCP-XXXX is grounds for immediate termination. Any attempts to remove SCP-XXXX from its containment room will result in immediate termination of the personnel removing SCP-XXXX.

In a case where subject is terminated before SCP-XXXX is returned to its briefcase, a D-Class personnel will be sent to place it back into the briefcase without reading SCP-XXXX-1.


Description: SCP-XXXX is a yellow work folder with the words "NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH" printed on its front. It contains only one compartment, which holds an A4 sheet of paper designated SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 contains prose written in a yet unknown language or script. Its contents and meaning are currently unknown.

Upon reading SCP-XXXX-1 to the end, subjects typically pauses for an indeterminate length of time, appearing to be thinking, before seemingly coming to a realization and vocalizing as such. This causes the subject to display a large amount of excitement, while possibly expressing regret at reading SCP-XXXX-1.

SCP-XXXX-1 must be read in its entirety for this effect to take place, no observable changes are present in subject otherwise.

Subjects who have read SCP-XXXX-1 may attempt to persuade staff and researchers to read SCP-XXXX-1. Any forced attempts by subjects to allow SCP-XXXX-1 to be readable by staff is to be met with immediate termination of the subject.


Discovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered by Agent B████ in ██/██/████ during a routine search in ███████, in an abandoned office. Agent B████ reportedly contacted the Foundation in great excitement, claiming SCP-XXXX to be "bigger than SCP-0001". Agent B████ returned with SCP-XXXX and was interviewed by Dr. A████████. Agent B████ subsequently terminated.
