Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:
Due to the nature of SCP-XXXX, containment is an ongoing procedure consisting of testing and identification of SCP-XXXX in subjects all over the globe.

Testing stations are currently located in most major metropolitan areas. These testing stations operate by advertising payment for participating in a scientific study. The study is consists of administering the Satori-Eckman test to attempt to identify a positive host for SCP-XXXX. Furthermore, Agents stationed at these bases are authorized to administer the Satori-Eckman to any civilian within their jurisdiction, for any reason.

Following a successful identification of SCP-XXXX, the host is to be transferred to the nearest Foundation research facility to be kept in standard humanoid containment. Following their internment in Foundation custody, they may not be permitted to make direct skin contact with any member of the Foundation possessing level two clearance or above.

BY ORDER OF THE ETHICS COMMITTEE:
Due to the high rate of false positives produced by the Satori-Eckman, suspected hosts of SCP-XXXX are to be re-tested for SCP-XXXX bi-monthly. Following two consecutive negative results from the test, the individual is to be administered Class-B amnestics and integrated into a position in the Foundation that would best suit his or her skillset.

Description:
SCP-XXXX is a telepathic trait which triggers when a host of SCP-XXXX makes direct skin-contact with a human being. Following this contact, hosts of SCP-XXXX will hear the thoughts of the individual with which they are making contact for a brief period of time, typically one to three seconds. Approximately 0.██ - 1.██% of individuals possess this trait. Based on the age of certain hosts in Foundation custody, it appears to be acquired at birth.

+ Ethics Committee Clearance Required for Viewing

At time of writing (14-08-15), SCP-XXXX is one of only nine SCP objects to ever be considered for release from Foundation custody, and the only object ever to be brought to hearing by a member of the Ethics Committee. This addendum has been added to dissuade further attempts to relinquish SCP-XXXX from containment.

Current estimates place as many as thirty to forty percent of all subjects identified as possessing SCP-XXXX to be false positives. Furthermore, there is no evidence that SCP-XXXX is a threat to normalcy in any manner.

O5 Command concedes that innocent people are harmed in the containment of SCP-XXXX. O5 Command concedes that SCP-XXXX does not appear to be a threat to normalcy. However, O5 Command cannot and will not concede the containment of a known anomaly for any reason, ethical or otherwise.

We are doing all we can. Please, do not bring this matter to our court again.

Signed,
