Addendum 1: A report from Dr. Charlie "Chuck" Schulte, a Researcher at Outpost-XXXX, to Senior Researcher Gilligan Jameson regarding the results to test ██ of Subject 4, a D-Class personnel who is used to test repeated exposure to SCP-XXXX. Recorded on 02/06/2018. Subject 4 had not been amnesticized prior to coming into Foundation custody in order enhance the scope of possible results.
Repetition test ██ results
- Identity 4 finally went kaput, now onto number 5. Subject now refers to himself as Paul McConnell.
- Subject claims to be able to solve a Rubik's Cube in under 20 seconds. We're having one delivered from another site to test this claim.
- Subject can still play the trumpet at an intermediate level.
- We mourn the loss of another original memory. All memories of Tobi have been replaced with a golden retriever named Sasha.
- Subject does not accept a glass of water and asks for soda instead. He might finally be getting that aquaphobia that's seen in other subjects, poor guy.
- Subject no longer recognizes the photo of [REDACTED], we'll have to find a new photo for that test.
- Subject clearly recognizes me, but consistently mistakes Dr. ██████ for Dr. ████. He still refuses to stop calling me "Chuckster".
- Subject remembers very few details from last month's interview, but states they "all blur together". He claims that he had made the Rubik's Cube claim in that interview, rather than his actual claim from last month. This persisted after showing him the transcripts.
- Subject seems more upbeat and optimistic than in previous months.
- Subject's favorite color has changed back to blue.
- Subject is no longer afraid of snakes and is generally much more positive regarding reptiles in general.
Well, that's all the stuff I could find for this month so far. I'll send more info as I find it.
-Dr. Schulte
Addendum 2: Another report sent by Dr. Schulte regarding the next month's results. Recorded 02/07/2018.
Repetition test ██ results
- Subject thought the date was May 16th.
- Still waiting on that Rubik's Cube. Subject's claim remains firm.
- Subject struggled to remember his childhood address, but he was able to get it eventually. It may be possible that some memories are only partially removed. Further research needed.
- Subject's favorite color has changed to lime green… again.
- Subject's perceived date of birth has adjusted slightly, from March 30th to the 28th. He couldn't be convinced otherwise.
- Subject went on a tangent about how the Kung Fu Panda movie series is underrated in his mind. Significance still unknown.
- Subject attempted to claim that Canada does not exist, and was unable to point to it on a map. Whether or not this is a joke, I have no idea, but further study throughout the month will be conducted regardless.
- Subject has no recollection Dr. ██████'s existence
Interesting stuff this month. Less interesting observations, but more stuff that needs further research, I have some work to do. I will make sure to keep you posted.
-Dr. Schulte
Addendum 3: The next month's report, this time sent by Researcher Lucas Blanchet. Recorded 02/08/2018.
Repetition test ██ results
Dr. Schulte wanted me to handle Subject 4 this month since he's off visiting his family at home. Normally, I work with the other subjects, but this is a nice change of pace.
- The Rubik's Cube finally came in this week, so we decided to test his claim during the interview. He missed the 20 second mark by a mile, but he just said it was because he was rusty. We'll keep testing it the rest of the month to make sure.
- Subject says he owned a Ford Escape prior to coming into Foundation custody, but the reports I was told to go by said otherwise.
- Subject's mother's maiden name has changed. Now it's ████████.
- Subject vividly remembers watching Up in theaters even though he never did so before. He says it was on the same day his aunt's wedding… which he still claims to have gone to. If I'm not mistaken, I've never seen the skip put two events at the same time before. Further research pending.
- Subject's "lucky number" is now 42 instead of 19. Ironically, that seems to be [DATA EXPUNGED], which he made a comment on.
- Subject still doesn't believe that Canada exists, specifically stating that Alaska is an island.
- Subject has a severely lessened tolerance of spicy foods and seemed to be a bit surprised about it. (this was observed during lunch rather than in the interview but I felt it necessary to put here as long as that's ok.)
- Subject didn't seem to like the way I was conducting the interview. Either I wasn't doing it well, or something changed with his behavior. Probably the former, since I'm not used to this, but I'm still putting it here just in case.
Well, that should be everything. Dr. Schulte should be calling the shots again in a week or two, I'll send a note when that happens. If there's stuff that I missed, Chuck will probably fill you in.
Cheers,
Dr. Blanchet.
Addendum 4: Another test report from Dr. Schulte sent 2 months later. Recorded 02/10/18.
Repetition test ██ results
- Subject seems even more paranoid this month, he refused refreshments of any kind.
- Subject was unresponsive to certain tests. Further interviews will be conducted throughout the month.
- When shown an image of a WW1 era naval crew, subject claimed to have recognized one of the men in the picture. After being asked why, he claimed the person he recognized was an ancestor, but he seemed uncertain.
- Subject went on an unprompted tangent about how global warming threatens island nations and continued to bring up the topic after the interview. Relevance to SCP-5518 is unknown as of yet.
- Subject recounted a story that supposedly took place in his youth, but the dates specified were years before his conception. However, the story was near identical to one of the memories that Subject 2 supposedly had. I'll have to have a word with Dr. ████ about that.
- That isn't the only memory that seemed to resurface. One of the subject's own memories that was lost around January came back up too. Specifically, he remembered that one of his distant ancestors being an explorer of some kind, but he couldn't quite place what country they were from or what they contributed.
I think I'm starting to put some of the pieces together here. I know you don't want me to keep going past March, but I think I'll have to. I'm on the cusp of a breakthrough here. This is big. All the relevant details I get will go straight to you.
-Dr. Schulte
Addendum 5.1: Another test report from Dr. Schulte sent 5 months later. Recorded 02/03/19.
Repetition test ██ results
- No significant changes found aside from minor memory alterations.
It's taunting me. I am THIS close to a discovery, and it's taunting me. This is the THIRD month in a row that I've gotten nothing, and now the deadline is here.
Please. I am begging you. Just let me go a few more months before ending the experiment. I need this. I'm so close I can feel it.
-Dr. Schulte
Addendum 5.2: A response from Senior Researcher Jameson. Recorded 02/03/19.
Dr. Schulte.
You have had three years to find whatever it is you are "THIS close" to, and yet you have come up empty. I'm afraid I cannot provide the extension you wish for. The results provided have become long, monotonous, and ultimately of little importance. However, if you wish, you may continue to consider the results of your tests thus far until July. After that, I would recommend you apply for a transfer. You've done more than enough work on SCP-XXXX, and I think it's time you step away from the island for a while.
Kind regards
-Dr. Jameson
Addendum 5.3: A series of e-mails between Dr. Blanchet and Dr. Jameson following news of the repetition test's conclusion becoming public.

Dear Dr. Jameson
I'll be blunt. I really think you should allow Dr. Schulte to continue his work with the repetition tests. He seems a bit torn apart about this whole thing, if I'm saying that right. He spent an hour in that conference room with Subject 4 yesterday. I don't know what they were talking about, but it didn't sound good from what I could hear. Something's up with him, and I don't think he'll be okay until he hits that "breakthrough" of his. Please, just consider it.

Dr. Blanchet,
I shall answer your bluntness in kind. Dr. Schulte has gone through with this for much longer than any sane man would. He's lucky I even let him keep it going for as long as I did. The last thing our research team needs is for someone to continue spewing monotonous test results that stopped having meaning long ago. It does not matter how much Chuck mopes and complains, it will not change these facts. My decision is final.
On a similar note, whatever Dr. Schulte discussed with Subject 4 is not of your concern; he was likely just saying his goodbyes to someone he's worked with for a long time. Don't be prodding into the private business of someone else. Just because you worked with Subject 4 for one month doesn't mean you have free reign to determine the fate of the test he was involved in. I recommend you focus on your work with Subject 7 instead, the results from your work is much more vital.

Dr. Jameson,
Subject 7 is not important right now, Subjects 2 and 8 can give you those vital results you want. I am genuinely concerned about Chuck's mental health. As you remember, I worked as a therapist before joining the Foundation. I know my way around psychology, and Chuck's mental state does not look good. I intend on having a talk with him later this week, so I can see for sure what's going on.
Let's drop the subject for now. It's not good for us to argue on something that neither of us will budge about.
-Dr. Blanchet
Dr. Schulte would apply for a transfer to Site-17 on 14/06/19. The request was granted. Dr. Schulte is now a Junior Researcher studying SCP-████
