Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter Safe Euclid (See addendum 2 & 3)
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in its cell at site-19. SCP-XXXX was previously stored in a Safe storage room until reclassification to Euclid (See addendum-3). SCP-XXXX is not to be removed from it's containment unless given express permission from Dr. █████ or the site director.

SCP-XXXX-1 entities are to be secured by the closest avalible Mobile Taskforce which is equiped to secure a SCP-XXXX-1 entity. All secured SCP-XXXX-1 entities should be contained in an audiotory shielded cell at site 19. Only deaf personnel are allowed physical proximity with SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 entities.

SCP-XXXX-2 entities are to be terminated as soon as they are identified to prevent any further spread of SCP-XXXX-2 entities.

Any deaf personnel employed by the Foundation is to be considered to work with containing SCP-XXXX due to their innate quality of being unable to be affected by SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 entities. This reassignment is not a demotion.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a D-C60 Compact Cassette tape as produced by TDK Corporation. SCP-XXXX only manifests its anomalous properties when it is played in a cassette tape player. SCP-XXXX anomalous properties effect anyone who listens to SCP-XXXX for a prolonged amount of time.

The audio recording on SCP-XXXX appears to be an audio recording of a male stand-up artist known as ████ ██████ during one of his shows. ████ ██████ will hereby be reffered to as POI-XXXX. The recording is 53 minutes and 45 seconds long with a small amount of static believed to be from tape degradation caused by use of SCP-XXXX.

Subjects1 listening to SCP-XXXX have universally reported a feeling of elation and joy. Subjects exposed to SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects are classified as SCP-XXXX-1 entities. Wether the signs of elation is due to anomalous properties or due to the humorous contents of the recording is currently being researched, with current evidence pointing towards it being an anomaly.2

SCP-XXXX-1 entities will develop anomalous symptoms over a time period of ██ months to █ years. SCP-XXXX-1 instances in the final stages of infection are a major vector for spreading the effects of SCP-XXXX.

SCP-XXXX-1 instances exhibit several symptoms:

  1. Uncontrollable fits of laughter.
  2. Feel a strong compulsion to tell others about the contents of the audio recording on SCP-XXXX.
  3. Unable to feel anything but elation and happiness.
  4. A newfound sense of comedy.
  5. Anomalous regenerative abilities while not under observation.

These symptoms will worsen over time and will ultimately end in the SCP-XXXX-1 entity being unable to do anything but to uncontrollably laugh. Subjects exposed to laughter caused by SCP-XXXX-1 entities in its final stage of infection are to be classified as SCP-XXXX-2 entities.

SCP-XXXX-1 entities has anomalous regenerative qualities which causes any damage inflicted onto them to be regenerated once they are not observed. SCP-XXXX-1 then starts its laughter once again once under observation. This effect makes the destruction of SCP-XXXX-1 entities currently unfeasible and no tests are to be conducted uppon a SCP-XXXX-1 entity without prior consent of at least 3 O5-Council members.

SCP-XXXX-2 are entities who have been indirectly exposed to SCP-XXXX through an SCP-XXXX-1 entity. SCP-XXXX-2 entities are to be considered a lower threat than an instance of SCP-XXXX-2 due to their weaker3 anomalous properties. However they are still to be considered a high priority.

The development of SCP-XXXX-2 symptoms are similar to that of SCP-XXXX-1, however they do not possess the regenerative qualities exhbitied by SCP-XXXX-1 entities. This results in them often expiring due to exasperation or a stroke from raised blood pressure when entering a long laughing fit.

SCP-XXXX was discovered on 19██, March ██ in ███████-prefecture, Japan. The existence of SCP-XXXX was reported by intelligence Agent-█████ and Agent-███ during their mission to collect SCP-████, after having seen an entity of SCP-XXXX-1 and multiple SCP-XXXX-2 entities. Agent-███ was then reassigned to containing SCP-XXXX, while Agent-█████ continued his original mission.

Agent-███ confronted an entity of SCP-XXXX-2 in it's early stages of development the SCP-XXXX-2 entity subsequently led Agent-███ to POI-XXXX and SCP-XXXX. Agent-███ then called in foundation personell to limit the spread of SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 entities.

Agent-███ and Agent-█████ died during the retrieval and containment efforts of SCP-XXXX.

Addendum 1: A runaway containment breach of SCP-XXXX is to be called "Event-XXXX-Omega" and SCP-XXXX will be reclassified as Keter, due to the possibility of a GH-0 "Dead Greenhouse" scenario.

Addendum 2: Due to our ability to contain SCP-XXXX and all known SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 entities this object has been reclassified as Safe.

Addendum 3: Object reclassified to Euclid by order of O5-█

Addendum 4: POI-XXXX was later discovered to have ties to GOI "Are We Cool Yet".
