Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX instances are to be placed in separate security lockers in Site 33. Requests for access are to be delivered to Head Researcher Dr. Peirano.
Mobile Task Force Eszett-3 ("Good Will Hunting") is to monitor the actors and properties detailed in List XXXX-A for abnormal behavior or any anomalous activity. The detainment of Person of Interest-1373 is considered a high priority.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a set of four plastic masks depicting the faces of American actors M███ D████, T██ C█████, B██████ P███, and C██████ S████. Instances of SCP-XXXX appear to have been directly molded from face casts of the actors; however, the anomalous level of detail and accuracy in the objects suggests that they were created using a process separate from those widely employed by artists in the special effects industry. So far, ███ non-anomalous replicas have been recovered in areas such as hotels, resorts, night clubs, beaches, and other locales frequented by high-income individuals.¹As █% of recovered replicas bear a resemblance to other American actors, other uncontained instances of SCP-XXXX are believed to exist. See Event Log XXXX-01.

An individual who wears an instance of SCP-XXXX, henceforth known as SCP-XXXX-1, will experience an alteration in personality and memory, believing themselves to be the actor depicted by their appropriate mask, as of their current state. Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 will typically experience confusion and agitation regarding their present whereabouts. Interrogation of SCP-XXXX-1 instances has revealed a 85% rate of accuracy in memory recall regarding the actor's activities during the day of the interrogation, as well as an average rate of memory recall concerning their life and personal details.

Observers with a PRS (Psychic Resistance Scale) rating higher than 50 will experience cognitive dissonance and an overwhelming sensation of déjà vu when exposed to an instance of SCP-XXXX-1, but will suffer no further effects. Observers with a PRS rating lower than 50 are subject to a separate memetic effect in which they will mistake an SCP-XXXX-1 instance to be the actor portrayed by their respective SCP-XXXX. This occurs regardless of how the individual is observed. On average, 37% of all observers will instead identify the wearer as a random character portrayed by the actor in various live action films, regardless of PRS rating. Rigorous testing has shown that observers with a positive reaction to the actor's film career will be subject to this effect. SCP-XXXX-1 instances retain full knowledge of their behavior and actions during this period after removing their respective SCP-XXXX, but will lack the imprinted memories of the actor or their characters. Additionally, former instances of SCP-XXXX-1 will express fondness or admiration for the actor, irrespective of previous opinion.

The continual use of SCP-XXXX for a period of over ██ hours or repeated usage will invariably result in mental deterioration. SCP-XXXX-1 instances suffering from these effects have exhibited varying symptoms resembling those found in sufferers of multiple personality disorder, schizophrenia, or depersonalization disorder. Delusions will usually revolve around the life and memories of the actor; however, in approximately 10% of cases, instances of SCP-XXXX-1 will claim that these delusions involve the actor's perceptional experiences in real-time. The reason for this effect is unknown.

Event Log XXXX-01

Addendum XXXX-01:
On ██/██/06, Foundation webcrawler KNIPP-133L detected a series of anomalous videos uploaded in close succession throughout multiple websites. Analysis using the memetic detection software on KNIP-133L discovered the presence of several triggers associated with instances of SCP-XXXX. The videos in question depict acts of sexual intercourse between two unidentified individuals, male and female. Notably, the male wears an instance of SCP-XXXX resembling actor P███ R███, while the female wears an instance of SCP-XXXX depicting celebrity performer B██████ S██████, the first instance of SCP-XXXX depicting a female actress. The uploads were tracked to the general Central Los Angeles area; however, an exact location could not be triangulated. Class-A amnestics were administered to the ███ viewers who had viewed the videos.

Addendum XXXX-02:
On ██/██/07, MTF Eszett-3 had reported that celebrity B██████ S██████ was displaying highly atypical behavior one day after checking out of the rehabilitation center she was frequenting. Agent Vargas followed her to [REDACTED], where she began recording B██████ S██████'s remarks towards the store owner, E█████ T███████. A partial transcript is available below.

S██████: I'm not going to ask you again, shave my fucking hair right now!

T███████: You need to calm down. Ms. S██████, I'm not going to liable for any potential-

S██████: You don't fucking get it, do you? It doesn't fucking matter.

T███████:
It's all fake, all of it.

S██████ It's sounds like it's going to be fun working with [REDACTED] again. It's an action movie, like your previous ones, but—Well, let's just take a look.

(The film clip plays. It appears to originate from a scene where the protagonist (played by Mr. D████) is captured and interrogated by a group of terrorists. At the point where his character introduces himself, audible "gurgling" can be heard in the background. The audience begins to react in alarm. Editors cut the clip early, presumably out of panic. Cameras show Mr. D████ convulsing and scratching frantically at both of his cheeks. Several open wounds are visible, with blood and an unknown white viscous fluid running down his face.)

O'Brien: Jesus fucking Christ! Somebody help him!

Under request by Dr. Peirano, Site Director Steve Costanzo ordered the individuals in List XXXX-A to be closely observed.

Addendum XXXX-03: end addendum
As of ██/██/19, 45% of the individuals in List XXXX-A have developed symptoms of depersonalization disorder, suspected to be caused by withdrawal from lacking their respective SCP-XXXX instance. Following approval by Site Director Steve Costanzo, MTF Eszett-3 has taken action to guide affected individuals to seek help at Santa Clarita Psychotherapy, a Foundation front organization specializing in the treatment of psychiatric diseases. Researchers hope to rehabilitate the individuals, as well as gather more information pertaining to the function and origin of SCP-XXXX.

Addendum XXXX-04:
Progress has been made in determining the function of SCP-XXXX instances as well as determining the origin of instances. The individual responsible for the creation for these instances has been designated PoI-1373. Access to full session transcripts are restricted to Level 3 clearance.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be stored in a sealed locker within Site-81. Requests for testing are to be delivered to Doctor Sakai. Due to the object's value in transfictional research, materials testing has been discontinued.

As of Incident-XXXX-1, psychological screening is required to access SCP-XXXX.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a boxed DVD set of the first season of the Japanese anime television series Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon. The box art of the object displays several deviations from retail DVDs released in Japan, suggesting that the item was produced and sold as bootleg merchandise. Notably, SCP-XXXX entered Foundation custody in 1996, approximately six years before the first official DVD release of the television series by the Toei Company. The DVD itself appears to have been manufactured through anomalous methods: it is composed of several interwoven cross-linked polycarbonate chains, granting it self-healing properties and resistance to damage and deterioration—there are no known industrial processes (both at the time of the object's recovery or in the present day) that are commercially utilized to manufacture optical discs with these properties.

When read in a DVD player, the disc will display a menu with several options in Arial font, which are listed as "SETTINGS," "CHOOSE," and "PLAYTIME."

The "SETTINGS" menu contains a variety of options, including "default," "subtitles (字幕)," and "language (近日公開)"² The menu contains an additional option listed as "浮世". The function of this option is currently unknown. See Incident-XXXX-1.

Selecting the "CHOOSE" option will bring up a screen with the astronomical symbols of the four inner planets superimposed onto the bodies of the main characters.³ A symbol can be highlighted and selected using the control pad and the center button on the remote device, after which the viewer will be booted back to the main menu. By default, the cursor is placed on the "crescent moon" icon. The symbol that is chosen directly impacts how the viewer is affected under SCP-XXXX-1.

The "PLAYTIME" option is superficially similar to a non-anomalous episode selection screen, with each section being represented by a still frame taken from its respective episode. When an episode is highlighted via the cursor, the viewer is subjected to an anomalous effect, which quickly produces feelings of euphoria, giddiness, and elation. Returning to the main menu or turning off the DVD playing device will nullify these effects entirely.

However, upon selecting an episode, the viewer will be subject to a second anomalous effect known as SCP-XXXX-1, causing him or her to vanish completely. Footage from high-speed cameras indicates that this effect is instantaneous. At this point, both the player controls and the DVD playing device become unresponsive to any inputs, save for the center button.

Under SCP-XXXX-1, the user appears to be transported into the show's setting (chronologically corresponding to the beginning of the selected episode in question), with his or her consciousness occupying the body of one of the main characters, corresponding to the symbol that was selected in the "CHOOSE" menu. A first person perspective of the user will appear on the television screen, allowing an outside observer to monitor his or her actions.

Exploration Log XXXX-01

Control: Doctor Sakai

Subject: Agent Hara

Symbol: Mars

Episode: #2

Notes: Due to concerns surrounding the cooperation of D-Class personnel and potential issues with the briefing process, a Foundation field agent was selected for the initial exploration of the anomaly. Agent Hara was chosen for her familiarity with both the Sailor Moon franchise and the central Tokyo area, having operated in that location for over a decade. (the implication is that she chose to work there because of Sailor Moon. In fact, her work as an agent is due to Sailor Moon.) Agent Hara has been instructed to explore the area and verbally make note of her environment, paying special attention to any noticable deviations from baseline reality.

[BEGIN LOG]

(The television screen displays a view of a mildly crowded, narrow Tokyo street. All visible structures are shrouded in a hazy, purple-colored fog. Pastel pink, yellow, and green colors originating from an unknown source cover the landscape. Judging from the presence of lights in the surrounding buildings, and the brightness of the sky, it appears to be dusk. The sounds of urban traffic can be heard in the distance.)

Agent Hara: …OK, it looks like I'm in.

(Agent Hara begins to thoroughly inspect her body. She feels the skin on her arms, then searches her handbag, finding mundane objects. She turns towards her left wrist, staring at a watch. She unclasps the watch covering and discovers a button underneath, which is engraved with the astronomical symbol for Mars.)

Agent Hara: Can it be?

(Agent Hara walks towards the window of a nearby building, and stares in amazement.)

Agent Hara: Ohhh, wow! It really is! Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon! I remember this show as a kid! There was even a festival back in 95' in Juban celebrating the show!

(There is a three second pause.)

Agent Hara: This is amazing! I'm actually Sailor Mars! I've always wanted to be a Sailor Senshi ever since I was a kid! Haha!

(After a ten second pause, deep breathing can be heard.)

Agent Hara: …Though, this is still an anomaly. A really cool one, but I still have to be careful. I can't let this go to my head. Might be memetic.

Agent Hara: Tokyo! Where to go, where to go…

(Agent Hara begins moving in a westward direction. After a long period of silence, she begins to speak.)

Agent Hara: This is so cool, actually. Now I know how Multi-U feels when they visit parallel places like these. Everything feels so familiar, and yet so foreign at the same time. Just being here, I get a strong Paris and Tokyo vibe. The streets are totally different, too…which means, I need a map.

(She scans her surroundings quickly, then turns towards her left wrist.)

Agent Hara: I think now would be a good time to see what this watch does.

(She opens it and gently taps the button. The visual feed from the television immediately cuts out, and she is transported back to the testing room in a standing position.)

Concluding Notes: Agent Hara was debriefed and shown a recording of Experiment Log XXXX-01, learning that both her actions and her speech is audible to researchers in the testing room. As per post-experiment testing protocols of this nature, Agent Hara was given a psychiatric evaluation. Aside from mild embarrassment for her behavior, no abnormal psychological effects were detected.

Episode: #3

Notes: The goal of this experiment is to delineate the setting's nature as a fictional narrative, testing the nature of its own rules, logic, and consistency

[BEGIN LOG]
(Agent Hara is transported to the roof of a school. Several books are piled next to her. In the distance, what appears to be the Chiyoda skyline can be seen. The fog from the previous experiment log is absent.

Agent Hara: Alright, well, this is interesting. I'm back in school, that much is obvious.

(She paces around for a minute and looks over the roof's fence, then watches a group of several schoolchildren play handball for another minute.)

Agent Hara: Hm. Maybe it's because I picked the smart Senshi this time, but I think I have a slightly better understanding on how this anomaly works. I choose one of the icons, and it sends me to where they would actually be, screwing around or stuck in school, during the start of whatever episode was chosen. So, if I want to have a better grasp of where to go or what to do, then I guess it's back to watching more Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon for me. Not that I'm complaining…Oh, I'm checking these books out now.

(Agent Hara proceeds to spend the next ten minutes browsing through the books that are in front of her. Upon picking up an English book titled "Rocks and Minerals," she begins to skim through it, but stops.)

Agent Hara: …The English is all fucked up.

(At this point, several oddities can be observed in the video: the sound of playing children, urban traffic, and fauna stops completely, and for approximately 10 seconds, the sky appears to dim slightly. Agent Hara appears to pay no attention to this.)

Agent Hara: So, I've run across the first problem in this world. Are you seeing this, Control? I…get what the book's trying to say, but…it's as if a middle school English student wrote it. There's no way that this would get published back.

(Hara spends the next three minutes silently browsing through the rest of the books.)

Agent Hara: Right. So I guess it's back to school for me.

(She takes out a schedule from her backpack and studies it for approximately five minutes. The bell begins to ring, and she proceeds to walk to class.)

Concluding Notes: Extraneous data has been removed for brevity: to summarize the experiment log, Agent Hara spends the next five hours attending her classes. Notably, she is able to consistently answer all questions directed to her by instructors, despite not previously possessing a background in mathematics, geography, Japanese literature, or physics. Analysis of the English text revealed a syntactic influence from Japanese, but otherwise possessed a lexicon that was identical to baseline English. The Japanese text encountered in the experiment was found to be entirely mundane in nature.

The post-experiment psychiatric evaluation has revealed an increase in both Agent Hara's long-term memory and short-term memory.

Episode: #3

Notes: As the previous experiment seems to implicate the setting accessed by SCP-XXXX-1 as its own reality, following review of footage from the previous experiment, Agent Hara has been instructed to gather more data from this reality.

(The television screen starts up. Agent Hara is laying on a bed in a dimly lit apartment room. There is a radio turned on next to her. The voice on the radio is apparently reading from a love letter.)

Voice: …is now full of the past. I want to see you. I want to see you one more time. I want to tell you my true feelings. This was—

(The radio is quickly shut off by Agent Hara.)

Agent Hara: Ugh. Lame.

(The alarm clock next to her reads 10:09. Agent Hara gets up from the bed and stretches. She then proceeds to spend the next two minutes investigating her apartment space. Afterwards, she returns to her bedroom.)

Agent Hara: Ah, she lives alone. Right. A bit like myself! [chuckes] Well, I'm not going to be fulfilling the mission parameters by being a shut-in…wait. Yumi-P is going to see me undress, isn't she? Fuck.

(At this point, the sounds of urban traffic stop suddenly; however, the pause is brief in comparison to the previous experiment, lasting only three seconds. This time, Agent Hara appears to be mindful of this.)

Agent Hara: Oh…that's what Control was talking about. Uh, ok. So I'm feeling a strange mix between excitement and unease right now. Not good. I better hurry up.

(Hara spends the next thirty minutes preparing to leave the house. During this time, she alternates between complete silence and humming excerpts of music from //Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon. After the thirty minute period is up, she steps outside. However, as she does so, two passersby stare at her before continuing on.)//

Agent Hara: Huh…Weird.

(Agent Hara steps out onto the sidewalk in front of her apartment building, and looks up. The night sky is a bright cerulean color, with constellations and clusters of stars being easily visible. The skyglow produced by the city casts a chartreuse streak across the horizon. Various pink and yellow spheres of unknown origin and function, later determined to be stylistic features of the setting, hang above the streets and buildings. Agent Hara looks to her right, where the Tokyo Tower is illuminated and visible in the distance. She then turns to her left, where the distant skyscrapers of Minato glow against the horizon. Above those buildings is the Moon, which is in the last quarter Lunar phase.)

Agent Hara: Gorgeous. The city is even more beautiful than it is back home.

(Agent Hara spends the next two minutes considering the direction in which she can explore.)

Agent Hara: Hmm, I've been to Tokyo Tower. I think I'll head downtown—I want to see if it's anything like the Tokyo that I remember as a youth.

(Agent Hara begins moving in a westward direction. Along the way, she passes by several streets and parks, most of which do not correspond to any real world locations. After a long period of silence, she speaks.)

Agent Hara: Fucking shit, this is actually beginning to freak me out. I don't recognize any of these landmarks.

(Upon making this remark, Agent Hara begins to recoil in pain. Two male individuals appear from the nearby shadows and call out to her.)

Individual #1: Hey, girl. Quite the mouth you have on you, huh?

Individual #2: Yeah. What's the matter? Don't believe in love, purity, or compassion? Then leave. There's consequences for breaking the rules.

(Agent Hara sprints away from the unidentified individuals. She scans her surroundings, discovering a brightly lit alleyway filled with small stores and food stalls, then quickly rushes in. About half of the businesses are closed. The civilians occupying the food stalls glare at her for several seconds, before continuing their activities.)

Agent Hara: I'm starting to get really anxious, now. This mission started out fun, but now I actually feel slightly unnerved. Vulnerable, too. I feel really uncomfortable doing this. Maybe it's the fact that I loved this series as a child, but my mind is screaming at me right now, telling me that I've committed something sacrilegious.

(The alley opens up to a large street, the businesses of which are mostly closed. Across from her is a bookstore named "WORLD BOOKS," which is open. She proceeds to enter it after spotting several different maps in the front window of the store.)

Agent Hara: Thank goodness. Hopefully this will be enough to finish the mission.

(The bookstore is divided into several sections. The English section of the bookstore catches her attention, causing her to audibly shudder in discomfort. Notably, the few individuals in the store angrily stare at her for a few seconds, before she moves on. Agent Hara fails to notice this.)

Agent Hara: Ugh, no. I'm not touching any of those.

(She enters the manga section.)

Agent Hara: Woah, weird! There's a ton of series here that I've never even heard of before. One manga will work for now, I want to go through here as quickly as possible.

(She picks up a tankobon volume titled Codename: Sailor V.)

Agent Hara Cool! A Sailor V manga! I've always wondered what the story was like when I was a kid. This is probably useful for Yumi-P's research, so no harm done if I read it for a bit.

(Agent Hara proceeds to flip through the volume. The manga describes Sailor V's mission to stop a youma from forcing people to overexercise through the use of a widely distributed exercise video in New York City. The content of the volume does not match any published story of the real-world Codename: Sailor V series. In addition, the mangaka of the novel is credited as Mariya Takeuchi).

Agent Hara: Now…onto the maps.

(She walks over to the front of the bookstore. In front of her are a series of stacked and folded maps, which depict train lines, street maps, road maps, subway lines, and other routes of interest. She shuffles through the pile and picks out a street map of central Tokyo. She unfurls it on the table next to her. Agent Hara then brings her face up to the map, methodically moving her view up and down before stopping.)

Agent Hara: Yeah, just as I expected. I think this is enough data. Like everything else here, the map's pretty strange, but the research team should sort that out.

(The map on screen is compared to a map of central Tokyo. Several deviations from the baseline Tokyo city plan are present, the most notable of which is the presence of a large "Azabu-Juuban" ward, which appears to be a composite of the real world Azabu-Juuban and its surrounding districts. The map also indicates the presence of several large parks, the existence of a "Juuban General Hospital," and additional schools in the area. Agent Hara purchases this map along with a map of the Tokyo subway, then exits the bookstore. Agent Hara presses the button on her watch.)

Concluding Notes: The events of this exploration log indicate that this reality operates under certain pataphysical constraints.

Notes: This test was devised to see if any deviations in the narrative of the episode would lead to any unusual effects. As before, Agent Hara is instructed to verbally make note of any significant differences from baseline reality.
——
(As before, Agent Hara ends up in the apartment bedroom seen in the previous experiment. She decides to inspect the room for any changes. Notably, her bedroom drawer contains the maps purchased in the previous experiment. She gets dressed, then runs outside. The moon is in its waning crescent phase. She pulls her map up, deciding where to go.)

Agent Hara: I'll go with Shibuya this time.

(She travels in a westward direction, similar to the previous experiment, but is now aided by her map, heading towards the closest marked subway. As she does so, she makes cursory glances towards passing bystanders, and continues to do so for five minutes.)

Agent Hara: You know, it was bugging me earlier, but now I feel that I really have to point this out: these people look strange. Otherworldly, even. They have this fake-looking appearance, but at the same time, my mind fills in these details and makes them seem realistic.

(She proceeds to travel down into the subway. She heads to a kiosk and pays for her subway ticket for money. Notably, the subway station appears to be empty. She enters the subway train, which has a sparse number of individuals. Several minutes pass without comment. The train stops, and she exits. Climbing up the stairs, the city skyline comes into view.)

Agent Hara: Wow…it's…Shibuya.

(Agent Hara emerges from the subway station and onto the main plaza. Ahead of her, The building is the Shoten-Chobei NY City department store, which roughly corresponds to the real-world Takashimaya Times Square complex.)

(The comments made by Agent Hara draw the attention of people in the store, causing them to stare at her. She notices this, then puts the palms of her hands over her face, appearing to massage it.)

Agent Hara: Sorry, everybody. I'm just…having an unusual day.

(At this point, Agent Hara decides to leave the bookstore. It should be noted, the civilians in the bookstore have not stopped glaring angrily at her. She is oblivious to this observation, and brings her left hand into view.)

Agent Hara: Fuck!

Agent Hara: They…they keep coming!

Concluding Notes:

[BEGIN LOG]
(Agent Hara is transported to what appears to be the sleeping quarters of a household. Passing through an open sliding door, it is revealed that the structure is part of a large shrine. An old man, identified as the character of Rei's grandfather, is seen sweeping the open porches of the structure. Agent Hara checks her left wrist, then walks outside.)

Agent Hara: OK, so I actually did more of my homework this time, and if I'm correct, this is the episode where Usagi and Ami meet Rei. Or rather, me.

(Rei's grandfather spots Agent Hara and waves. She waves in return.)

Agent Hara: If speaking rudely was enough to draw the attention of people, then I'm going to be more low key with regards to my speech.

(Agent Hara begins to walk briskly towards the front gate of the shrine's grounds. She notices two ravens on top of the stairs, who stare at her as she walks out.)

(She proceeds to travel on foot towards the main city for the next hour. Suddenly, at the ** minute mark, she begins experiencing symptoms of a panic attack. Suspecting that she's under the possible influence of a memetic or cognitohazardous effect, she hits the button on her watch.)

Concluding Notes: Agent Hara returns in a panicked state, which quickly subsides over the course of two minutes. Psychological counseling in the wake of this experiment reveals no major effects, other than She is switched out?

(Agent Hara begins fumbling with her clothes, presumably searching for the communicator. The watch her left wrist is visible.)

Luna: In other words…

(A physical confrontation escalates between Usagi Tsukino and Rei Hino. Agent Hara stops fumbling. It appears that she has located the device within the inside of her coat. At this point, the Luna character makes eye contact with Agent Hara, causing her to stumble)

Luna: Is there something wrong, Ami-chan?

SCP-3731.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: The sole instance of SCP-XXXX within the Foundation's possession is to be stored within a secure containment locker in Site-33. Any requests for access or experimentation are to be approved by Doctor Longo. Agents in the field assigned to the tracking and retrieval of anomalous objects associated with Dr. Wondertainment are to designate instances of SCP-XXXX as high priority.

Description: SCP-XXXX refers to a set of 8 marker pens manufactured under the name "Dr. Wondertainment's Cinematic Markers™!" as a limited edition product in the year 1982, but later re-released in the years 1997 and 2012. When used as a writing implement, SCP-XXXX passively manipulates probability in an anomalous manner, such that any narrative written using SCP-XXXX will be adapted into a future motion picture. The length of time in which this process occurs appears to be random, with the shortest time approximated at 1 year and the longest approximated at 35 years. Notably, there does not seem to be any correlation between the organization, grammar, or length of the narrative, when compared to the quality of the corresponding film. Although each colored marker affects various elements in the mood and atmosphere of the resultant film, the effects of each pen cannot be specifically pinpointed to.

When utilized for illustrating or for adding color to an existing picture, SCP-XXXX appears to produce no anomalous effects.

Each individual instance of SCP-XXXX is sold with a product leaflet. A transcription of the leaflet's text is provided below:

Hey, Kids! Do you have a story that you've always wanted to share with the world?

Did you ever want to make your dream movie, only to find out that movies take a lot of work?

Well, Dr. Wondertainment's Cinematic Markers™ will let you see the Big Picture!

Just write your stories using Dr. Wondertainment's Cinematic Markers™, and your ideas will make it to the big screen! Any story, any length, any time! With 8 different Technicolors® to choose from, you can even decide the way that your movies turn out!

The only limit is your imagination!

Disclaimer: Dr. Wondertainment's Cinematic Markers™ is not intended for drawing, coloring, or for any other form of artistic medium. The length of time for Dr. Wondertainment's Cinematic Markers™ to take effect may vary.

The sole instance of SCP-3731 in the Foundation's possession was recovered during a raid conducted on a Los Angeles residence belonging to M█████ R███████⁴, along with documents written using SCP-XXXX, and several anomalous art pieces. These documents can be accessed via approval by Doctor Longo.

Narrative: A rags-to-riches story about an energetic young man named Lou, 5' 11" in height, and with his hair long and combed back. Lou lives in a small apartment, with his only friend being his potted plant, and struggles to find employment in Los Angeles after a severe economic downturn. Lacking absolutely no job skills whatsoever (except for garage work he had done for his neighbor as a teen), Lou relies on stealing to earn his income, while wishing to own one of the expensive cars that he sees around the city. However, Los Angeles is anything but the City of Broken Dreams, as he soon finds out. After a chance encounter with a stringer, played by Bill Paxton, he decides to enter this lucrative business. Through hard work and perseverance, he reaches the top and achieves his dreams.

They call me Baby Driver,

What's my number?
I wonder how your engines feel,
Shine a light

Subject: Agent Nein
Marker Color: Red
Narrative: I always hear people talking about James Bond and how hot the newest guy is, and it drives me crazy. He's not the only spy out there in fiction. It really fucking pisses me off. Seriously, pick up a book by Tom Clancy or Nick Carter and you'll find that they're far more interesting than Ian Fleming. In fact, I wish we had Jason Bourne instead of James Bond. Bourne has the potential to be a big hit, by showing espionage and intrigue that's grounded, gritty, and most importantly, realistic. So please, if Jason Bourne were to make it to the big screen, let it be true to the spirit of the books. I'm so sick of Looney Tunes shit, like spaceships and clown makeup.

Subject: Senior Researcher Collins
Marker Color: Indigo
Narrative: This is a really personal one for me, but I would really like to see one of Philip K. Dick's other stories on the big screen. Being a huge science fiction fan, I was completely blown away by Blade Runner. This movie really convinced me that if there's one science fiction author whose works would be completely translated to the big screen, it would be him. If these markers really do work, then I would love to see the Minority Report as a movie, by a big name director, such as Spielberg or even Ridley Scott once again. I could definitely see deep themes such as predestination and free will being touched upon in such a movie.
