SCP-xxxx in its new frame
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-xxxx is stored in a wooden box inside Item Storage Locker-754 within Site 641. The object may be taken out for cleaning and testing. For permission to use SCP-xxxx for field testing, please inform Dr. Burns. Only with the permission of Dr. Lagorio would SCP-xxxx be taken out of its containment.
Description:
ONE (1) ATTEMPT LEFT
SCP-xxxx is 17.5 cm in length and resembles an antique magnifying glass produced in the mid-1800s. The object consists of a wooden handle attached to a round metal frame - 9 cm in diameter. Study of the object revealed that changing the frame does not reduce SCP-xxxx’s anomalous effect. Moreover, any attempt to damage the lens of the item has been unsuccessful.
MEMETIC KILL AGENT ACTIVATED
When left on a surface, SCP-xxxx shows no anomalous properties. However, when used on any object by a person, the entity only produces black and white images.
SCP-xxxx-1 is a trail of black footprints that appears on the ground and leads the user of SCP-xxxx to a random location. Any person holding SCP-xxxx would have an irresistible urge to follow SCP-xxxx-1. Test subjects had shown to become overly focused on this trail and disregard all obvious dangers.
After a long time of usage, SCP-xxxx will slowly affect the human subject’s mind, creating false memories and illusions, making said person believe there is a case to be solved. In this case, instances of SCP-xxxx-2 may appear in the subject’s memories.
SCP-xxxx-2 is able to take the form of one or several individuals, who poses as either the eye-witnesses of the criminal act or the victim. The images can be so vivid to the point the user of SCP-xxxx would believe they were real people they had encountered.

Data corrupted
Contact with SCP-xxxx is known to drive the user into doing dangerous act, believing they are a private detective. This had led to several fatal accidents. As a result, testing of the object is discontinued until further notice. Personnel who came in contact with SCP-xxxx are to be questioned and observed for at least twenty-four (24) hours.

Incident Reports:
Incident █/█/████
Dr. William Pinkertons, first senior researcher in charge of the object, was found dead on the ground below the balcony of Lab C-03 with SCP-xxxx in hand. Surveillance recordings revealed the researcher had been walking around the buildings, staring through SCP-xxxx, the previous night.
Autopsy and investigation concluded that Dr. Pinkertons, while trying to look at something using the glass, tripped over the balcony and died upon impact. SCP-xxxx’s wooden frame was broken and had been replaced with a new metal model.
Incident █/█/████
Several complains about the quality of the drinking water had led to an investigation at Site 64’s water supply. Security Officer Kate Warne, upon checking the water tanks, found the decomposing corpse of Agent Ellis Goddard. After the draining of the tank, SCP-xxxx was found at the bottom, indicating Agent Goddard was using it the moment he lost his balance and fell into the water tank.
Incident █/█/████
Dr. Allan Burns disappeared from Site 64 with SCP-xxxx and could not be contacted by all means. A search party was dispatched to look for Dr. Burns, who was later found motionless in the middle of ████ Highway. Investigation of the scene concluded it was a hit-and-run. SCP-xxxx was recovered a few meters away from Dr. Burns’ body.
Note: SCP-xxxx is suspected of causing the death of its users by making them focused on trying to solve a mystery, distracting them from obvious dangers. Use of the object is to be restricted. All personnel who had been in contact with SCP-xxxx must be summoned to the Psyche Ward for check-ups. Information on SCP-xxxx is to be classified for level 3 Clearance and above to prevent any curiosity on the object’s anomalous effect.
Incident █/█/████
Foreword: SCP-xxxx breached containment, having been removed from Item Storage Locker-754 by Agent John Hoover without authorization. While attempting to leave Site 64, Agent Hoover was apprehended by security officers. Transcription of the interview with Agent Hoover, conducted by Dr. Burns is as followed:
BEGIN LOG: █:█ █/█/████
Agent Hoover: I can’t believe this! Some serious shit is happening and you people are wasting your time interrogating me?!
Dr. Burns: Calm down, agent. Please. What you did was a violation of our basic principles. You must be aware this interview is essential to-
Agent Hoover: Interview? I call bullshit. We both know what this is.
Dr. Burns: <Deep breath> Alright… Agent Hoover. Please explain your actions regarding the incident last night.
Agent Hoover: I had to -
<The agent suddenly became more withdrawn.>
Agent Hoover: Look, Doc. Something’s going on ‘round here… It’s bad.Dr. Burns: Is that so?
<A ‘click’ sound formed near the microphone>
Dr. Burns: Ok. Tape’s off. Just you and me now, John. What is it?
Agent Hoover: A…Alright. Some shady stuff’s happening ‘round here. I mean… I don’t think those deaths were just accidents. At least, not Goddard’s. I know he’s not one to die of such a ridiculous reason.
Dr. Burns: Then, are you suggesting that he was murdered?
Agent Hoover: Quite likely.
Dr. Burns: How did you come to such conclusion?
Agent Hoover: It’s a long story. Researcher Davis came to us a few months ago and-
Dr. Burns: Sorry. Researcher Davis?
Agent Hoover: Yes. Researcher Davis. He’s from Lab A-07, I think.
Dr. Burns: I don’t think I have heard of anyone by that name working in Section A.
Agent Hoover: Anyway, he came to me and Goddard when we were in the break room, looked quite stressed out. He told us… <Deep breath> He saw Dr. ██ and some guys exchanging information.
Dr. Burns: Did he mention what kind of information?
Agent Hoover: No. But there’ve been rumors goin’ around about… leak of classified information. So it’s likely the one. Before we had a chance to investigate further, Davis vanished. He suddenly disappeared. No one seems to remember him. As if he never existed. Goddard suspected that he was locked away, murdered even, by the people involved.
Agent Hoover: When SCP-xxxx was found, Goddard was intrigued by it. He was the one who retrieved it, y’know. I was in Brazil then. He told me on the phone it could be the key to find out what happened to Davis. He was suspecting Dr. ████ and Agent ██████’s involvement. He said he would elaborate when I return but… you know… he drowned. I hardly believe it was an accident. They-
Dr. Burns: Hoover. Before we go any further, may I remind you that this is not something to be taken lightly?
Agent Hoover: I know what I’m talking about.
Dr. Burns: I mean, it is a scandal. This is a group of respected Senior Researcher and a Level 4 agent we are talking about. What you are suggesting is not only lacking solid evidences, but also outrageous. The only two eye-witnesses, the Researcher and Agent Goddard, are gone. I’m not sure whether to believe this or not.
Agent Hoover: Think about it, Dr. Burns. It’s too much of a coincidence when our database was attacked and information on xxxx was destroyed?
Dr. Burns: The attack did not only aim for SCP-xxxx. Their motive is unclear. We also lost quite an amount of classified data that you cannot to see with your current Clearance. The technical team is working to recover them. Your suspicion is not illogical, but we’ll need more than that to accuse anyone.
Agent Hoover: Which is why I need SCP-xxxx. All these deaths seem to revolt around this item. It must be the key to answer all these mysteries.
Dr. Burns: I’m afraid we cannot allow this, John. The object is not to be used until we fully understand its anomalous properties. However, I will report your story to the higher authority. Such an important matter is not to be ignored. We’ll need to make a throughout investigation before drawing any conclusion. Thank you for your co-operation, Mr. Hoover.
END LOG: █:█ █/█/████
No record of Researcher Davis was found in Site 64’s database. An investigation within the Site was conducted. No abnormality was found and none of Agent Hoover’s suspicion had turned out to be correct. Agent Hoover was informed of this by Dr. Lagorio, Head Researcher of Site 64.
BEGIN LOG: █:█ █/█/████
Dr. Lagorio: Mr. Hoover. We’ve checked. Site 64 had never had any “Researcher Davis”. We have also conducted an investigation within Site 64. So far, none of what you suspected have turned up to be true. You may have a look if you want. These were all signed by our Site Director.
<Silent as Agent Hoover read through the files>
Agent Hoover: That’s impossible.
Dr. Lagorio: Do you remember when you and Goddard talked to Junior Reseacher Davis?
Agent Hoover: Davis? … Half a year ago? ‘round November I think…
Dr. Lagorio: Agent Hoover. Tell me. Have you used SCP-xxxx before?
Agent Hoover: I did help Dr. Burns with several tests of the item before it was restricted…
Dr. Lagorio: Did you find anything?
Agent Hoover: We saw some footprints but it seems to only lead us around the facility.
Dr. Lagorio: That cleared things up then.
Agent Hoover: What do you mean?
Dr. Lagorio: Our most recent experiments of SCP-xxxx revealed that the object has the ability to affect your mind. The item can infest human’s mind with false memories and illusions. The D-class personnel reported talking to non-existent people.
Dr. Lagorio: What if… Davis was just an illusion? SCP-xxxx probably had implanted these false memories into your brain, to create a mystery for you to solve. You thought you were investigating a mystery and it would eventually… make you overlook the dangers you put yourselves in.
Agent Hoover: I… I don’t know… It all felt real to me… I mean, Goddard was there…
Dr. Lagorio: That’s the problem, John. If it was November, he couldn’t have been there. He was in Beijing.
Agent Hoover: No, Doc. I very well remember he came back the day before. I remember asking him about his trip.
Dr. Lagorio: This is his record in the past year. As you can see, Agent Ellis Goddard was in China until December. You said you were in Brazil, when was that?
Agent Hoover: Sometime between January and March.
Dr. Lagorio: And you told Dr. █████ that agent Goddard have been contacting you all this time?
Agent Hoover: Yes.
Dr. Lagorio: According to our records, however, Agent Goddard died in February. How did he send you an email from his grave then?
Agent Hoover: What? I don’t believe this.
Dr. Lagorio: Calm down, Mr. Hoover. The reports are all here. I’m not lying to you.
Agent Hoover: I don’t get it! How can I make such a mistake?
Dr. Lagorio: I believe it is due to the psychology damage SCP-xxxx had caused upon you. Your memory has become inconsistent. The same thing happened to our test subjects. We will now escort you to the Psyche Ward for a proper test.
END LOG: █:█ █/█/████
Testing Reports:
Test-01 - █:█ █/█/████
Subject: D-7468
Procedure: D-7468 was given order to pick up SCP-xxxx and used it on several objects in the room.
Results: Test subject reported seeing only black and white images, similar to a 1800s film. No other anomalous properties were found.
Test-02 - █:█ █/█/████
Data corrupted
Test-03 - █:█ █/█/████
Data corrupted
Test-04 - █:█ █/█/████
Subject: D-8679
Procedure: The subject was brought to a remote mountainous area and given SCP-xxxx. D-8679 was ordered to hold the item until given permission to stop.
Results:
After two (2) hours: No other anomalous effect was found.
After four (4) hours: The subject became more enthusiastic and began to look through SCP-xxxx more often.
After five (5) hours: The subject reported seeing a black trail of footprints on the ground and asked permission to follow.
D-8679 was allowed to pursuit SCP-xxxx-1. While focused on the footprints, the subject appeared to ignore the dangerous landscape. More than once, the team of oversee researchers had to hold the subject back from falling off the edge of a cliff or into large cracks. D-8679 showed no abnormality in socializing ability, yet the subject did not react to any dangerous stimulus, even gun shot.
After eight (8) hours: The subject began digging. Despite nothing was found underneath, D-8679 stated she had found a murder victim and wanted to inform the authority. After a refusal from the overseers, the subject began to try solving the murder herself. Removal of SCP-xxxx could not undo the effect.
Another similar test near Site 64 involving a male D-class personnel (D-3607) resulted in the same manner. The second subject mentioned talking to a none-existent eye-witness named Aldo Deever.
Both subjects insisted on continuing their investigation days after. Amnestic had proven effective to cure subjects from SCP-xxxx’s anomalous effect.
Analysis: Using SCP-xxxx for at least five (5) hours will result in a hallucination of a trail of footprints. Subjects will slowly cease the ability to recognize danger. The longer the item is used, the more delusional the subject becomes. Therefore, SCP-xxxx’s dangerous anomaly properties are confirmed. Adjustments should be made to ensure safety for all personnel.
Addendum 1: SCP-xxxx was once in the possession of Detective ████████ ███████ up until 1918 when it was sold to an antique collector in America after said detective’s demise. Whether or not SCP-xxxx already showed its anomalous nature prior to its change of owner is still in debate.
Addendum 2: A malicious attempt to attack Site 64’s database on █/█/████ had resulted in the loss of many data. The Technical team was able to recover most of them. However, certain files had been corrupted beyond help.
Addendum 3: A Study in 64 [link not available]
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
SCP-xxxx-A11
Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-xxxx, when found, are kept in Item Storage Locker-204 of Site 76. Testing on SCP-xxxx-A is allowed with approval of at least one Level 3 on-site researcher. Test subjects are to be restrained on a chair or any firm surface in case of unexpected behaviors.
Undercover agents stationing at international airports and border patrol stations are to be informed of SCP-xxxx-B’s appearance. Any sightings of SCP-xxxx-B must be reported to the MTF-Iota-10 “Damn Feds” immediately.
Description: SCP-xxxx refers to a collection of several containers found in the Southern States of USA. The objects vary in materials, sizes and shapes, each containing a mixture of soil and organic portions (SCP-xxxx-A). Upon further studying of the content, it was found that each mixture came from a different source. Several instances of SCP-xxxx have a handwritten label. (See Document-02-01)
A sketch of SCP-xxxx-B, based on testimonies of the test subjects
When the mixture is applied on human’s eyes, the person will be temporally blinded. Said human will be capable of experiencing the last day(s) of the individual whose organic portion was part of the mixture. Despite each sample resulting in a different story, the endings are always the same: with said individual fallen victim to a murderous act of SCP-xxxx-B2.
Attempts to recreate more instances of SCP-xxxx by the Foundation researchers have failed.
Many DNA collected from SCP-xxxx-A matched that of missing profiles3 provided by undercover MTF-Iota-10 “Damn Feds” agents.

Testing Log-03
Conducted 12/█/2009
Subject: D-8621 and SCP-xxxx-A03
Conductors: Dr. Klara Kaiga
Procedure: The subject was secured on a chair and exposed to a sample of SCP-xxxx-A03.
Result: Interview Log A03 (check out “A03” tab) Later description from the subjects indicates the victim had been [REDACTED]. Amnestic was given due to extreme traumatization.
Addendum-01: █/█/2009. Initially, ten instances of SCP-xxxx were found scattered inside an abandoned RV. The collection was found by the Texas State Troopers during a murder investigation in Odessa, Texas. While searching the abandoned vehicle, SCP-xxxx-A came in contact with the eyes of a search member by accident. Undercover agents of the MTF-Iota-10 witnessing the incident alerted the Foundation. All eye-witnesses were given amnestics and SCP-xxxx was moved into Site 76’s custody.
Addendum-02: █/█/2014. Upon checking an abandoned pick-up truck, a member of Louisiana State Troopers discovered three more instances of SCP-xxxx. The moisture in one instance suggested it was recently made. A Mississippi postcard was discovered, along with female belongings. Checkpoints and patrols at the Louisiana/Mississippi border were established. However, no individual matching the description provided by previous test subjects were found.
Addendum-03: █/█/2015, one instance was found at a used campfire in Mississippi. A ripped piece of paper was recovered with an illegible scribble. Further dissection of the writing resulted in the following:
Three duo forth. Three sick. Three went first.

Foreword: SCP-xxxx breached containment, having been removed from Item Storage Locker-754 by Agent John Hoover without authorization. While attempting to leave Site 64, Agent Hoover was apprehended by security officers. Transcription of the interview with Agent Hoover, conducted by Dr. ██████ is as followed:
BEGIN LOG: █:█ █/█/████
Agent Hoover: ██████! Let me out of this *** room.
Dr. ██████: Please remain calm, Mr. Hoover. We are not going to keep you here for long.
Silent as Agent Hoover slowly calmed down.
Dr. ██████: If you agree to co-operate, I guarantee no serious punishment is coming your way, Mr. Hoover. Why did you violate the containment procedure of SCP-xxxx? I’m sure, such an efficient member of the facilities like you-
Agent Hoover: Dr. ██████. Just hear me out. I need to use SCP-xxxx. It’s the only way I can tell what’s going on. There’s been…
Agent Hoover appeared uncertain for some time. Dr. ██████ faked the movement of turning off the recorder.
Dr. ██████: Look, Hoover. We’ve been working together for a long time now. You can tell me.Agent Hoover: A…Alright. ██████. Some shady stuff’s happening ‘round here. I don’t know what it is yet but…
Dr. ██████: How did you come to such conclusion?
Agent Hoover: I mean… I don’t think these deaths were just accidents. At least, not Goddard’s. You and I both know he’s not one to die for such a ridiculous reason. And Davis-
Dr. ██████: Pardon?
Agent Hoover: Junior Researcher Davis. Don’t you remember him? He was in your department.
Dr. ██████: I don’t recall such a name, Hoover. Are you sure you’re not mistaken?
Agent Hoover: Of course not. I talked to him before… before he… vanished.
Dr. ██████: Vanished?
Agent Hoover: Yes. He suddenly disappeared. No one seems to remember him, but I know I’ve met him. Maybe they’ve Unclear mumbles. But the point is he talked to me and Goddard about some shady activities before he disappeared. He said he saw [Redacted] with some guy and they were exchanging information… or something… And then he disappeared.
There was a long pause
Dr. ██████: I see. That’s some interesting information, Mr. Hoover. We will look into it. For now, please remain in this room. I will be back with you shortly.
Error: unable to retrieve audio files
Dr. ██████: Mr. Hoover. We’ve checked. Site 64 had never had any “Junior Researcher Davis”. We have also conducted an investigation within Site 64. So far, none of what you suspected have turned up to be true. You may have a look if you want.
Dr. ██████ handed several documents to Agent Hoover
Dr. ██████: As you can see, these were all signed by our Site Director.
Silent as Agent Hoover read through the files
Agent Hoover: That’s impossible. My memory aint that bad. Even Goddard remembered him! He suspected foul play. That’s why he asked permission to try-out SCP-xxxx from Dr. Burns when he heard of how it works.
Dr. ██████: Stares at Agent Hoover as if realizing something Hoover. Tell me. Have you used SCP-xxxx before?
Agent Hoover: pauses Yes. We both did, for a day. Nothing happened though. So Goddard said he would return it to the locker but then, you know, he drowned…
Dr. ██████: That cleared things up then.
Agent Hoover: What do you mean?
Dr. ██████: I think I’ve figured out what happened. It appears to me, that you were both under the influence of xxxx.
Agent Hoover was silent.
Dr. ██████: There was no Davis, was there? What if… Davis was just an illusion? SCP-xxxx probably had implanted these false memories into your brain, to create a mystery for you to solve. That’s it. Curiosity kills the cat. You all thought you were investigating a mystery and it would eventually… make you overlook the dangers you put yourselves in.
Agent Hoover: Maybe. But don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence when our database was attacked and information on xxxx was destroyed?
Dr. ██████: The attack, which we believe was from ████████████, did not only aim for xxxx. Their motive is unclear and we also lost quite an amount of classified data that you may not be able to see with your current Clearance. The technical team is working to recover the corrupted data.
Agent Hoover: Is that so? I… I don’t know. I still think something doesn’t add up.
Dr. ██████: I believe it is due to the psychology damage SCP-xxxx had caused upon you. Therefore, we are not going to report your violation to the higher authorities. You will now be escorted to the Psyche Ward for treatment.

FOREWORD
The fact that you are here indicates you are a member of the Circle. Therefore, we expect you to know the importance of secrecy. Make sure you are the only individual reading this document. Any leak of the information below will not be tolerated.
We believe you have noticed the changes in SCP-xxxx’s original reports. Ever since this item came into Site 64’s custody, several individuals have begun to stick their noses into our work. What makes it so special that we have to go through all the trouble and put ourselves at risk?
A trail of black footprints – also known as SCP-xxxx-1 – may appear when SCP-xxxx is used to magnify the ground. Following of said trail will lead to a murder site within a 500 radius from the user’s initial location. The route of SCP-xxxx-1 appears to be the path the victim had taken before taking their last breath.
When a murder case is discovered, all clues and people relating to the murder would emit a white aura when seen through the lens of SCP-xxxx. Knowledge of the user will somehow be transmitted to SCP-xxxx as it will leave out any objects and humans confirmed to be irrelevant to the murder. Back-tracking of SCP-xxxx-1 at this point is possible. However, once the case is solved, the same trail would no longer exist.
SCP-xxxx had shown high accuracy when tested on several occasions. The item was responsible for the capture of a serial murderer in Louisiana and the discovery of several bodies.
As you can see, the existence of this item alone could pose a threat to ours. Therefore, this is a safety precaution that we have to take. We will make sure no outsider would be able to get their hands on SCP-xxxx. It is also your responsibility to keep this a secret. We do not want to deal with another Agent Hoover at this time.
Since we have to keep things in order, so as not to raise any suspicion, a real investigation will be conducted within Site 64. All transactions will be temporary halted until we believe things have died out.
END NOTE
By the end of this document, our memetic kill agent had been triggered. Please clearly repeat the password three times into your microphone to stop the termination process.
