Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-XXXX are to be sealed in clear plastic coin collector’s capsules, which are in turn to be kept in a locked [foam insulated] security case in Provisional Containment Site-28.
Researchers and cleaning staff are required to wear perspex safety goggles and latex gloves when handling all instances of SCP-XXXX to avoid exposure in the event of accidental containment breach.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a 1922 print silver Liberty Dollar coin. Other than slight discoloration from age and [presumably] the number of times it has changed hands, it is otherwise unremarkable.
SCP-XXXX-1 has the following properties;
- Direct eye contact with the coin causes a person to be instantly compelled to pick it up.
- Direct skin contact generates an involuntary form of en-mass telepathy. The exposed subject seems to unwillingly project all of his or her thoughts directly into the minds of everybody within a 50m radius. This effect is completely uncontrollable. Penetrates walls, ceilings and floors with no apparent hindrance. And lasts for as long as the subject is holding the coin.
- Subject also appears unwilling [or unable] to relinquish SCP-XXXX-1 after skin contact is made.
Dr. ████, who initially discovered this, had to be forcibly injected with high strength muscle relaxant in order for Foundation to recover SCP-XXXX-1.
Aquisition Report: Originally found in a known vagrant's squat in █████████, when a number of residents in the local area reported hearing bizarre sounds and voices when in close proximity to the building, all of which appeared to originate from inside the listeners' heads and varied wildly from person to person.
Investigation of the squat by Foundation MTF Pi-1 found it completely abandoned except by an apparently comatose vagrant.
SCP-XXXX-1 was found gripped tightly in his hand after being taken into Foundation care, and the vagrant was later declared clinically brain-dead upon closer medical examination.
Foundation has authorized testing of SCP-XXXX-1 on Class D personnel, in secure laboratory conditions, to attain conclusive evidence of its effects [after research and recovery teams partial activation of the coin].
EXPERIMENT LOG 1848:
Test subject D-1164 [a Caucasian male in his early 50s] was chosen to play "Host" to SCP-XXXX-1 for a period of three weeks, during which his projected thoughts would be monitored along with his physical and mental health.
Subject was locked in a secure monitoring chamber, given ample food and water, and told simply to keep the coin on his person at all times;
Interview A: Day One
Dr.███████: "How are you feeling today?"
D-1164: "Alright I guess. Why? What's supposed to happen?"
Dr.███████: "No swellings? Headaches? No unusual sensations?"
D-1164: "I already told you. I feel fine. What's this coin for? Why do I have to keep it?"
[Staff provide a detailed account of his wife's affair, and his desire to murder her lover after his term of incarceration is over]
D-1164: "Oh. I see. Done your homework on me, have you?"
[D-1164 gestures rudely at at the one way glass on the opposite side of his cell]
<End Log]>
Interview F: Day Five
Dr.███████: "How are you feeling today?"
D-1164: "Did you freaks put something in my food? I'm starting to feel like I'm forgetting things…"
Dr.███████: "'Forgetting things'?"
D-1164: "Yeah…Like, I'm starting to forget all my PIN numbers or something. I just feel like I'm forgetting stuff."
[Staff provide details of a dream that all researchers monitoring SCP-XXXX-1 have been having for the past two days]
D-1164: "…How…How can you know that…?"
[D-1164 bangs fist on the one way glass]
D-1164: "TELL ME HOW YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT! I've had that dream since I was a damn kid!"
Dr.███████: "Remain calm. This is all a part of the procedure. Now, you said you were 'forgetting things'…"
<End Log]>
Interview M: Day Thirteen
Dr.███████: "How are you feeling today?"
D-1164: "DOC! C'mon Doc, you've got to let me out. I'm going insane in here!"
Dr.███████: "Please, define 'Insane'."
D-1164: "I cant remember my kid's name! My OWN fucking KID! It's like everything's sliding out of my head!"
D-1164: "Your child. Amelia, wasn't it? You used to call her Ammy? Often played in the park with her after school?"
[D-1164 tenses up and looks ahead blankly, before looking distressed]
D-1164: "I-I…I cant…remember…You FUCKERS! WHY CANT I REMEMBER!?"
[D-1164 proceeds Enter a fit of violent anger. SPC-XXXX-1 however, remains tightly gripped in his hand]
Dr.███████: "It can stop any time you choose, provided you give us back the coin."
D-1164: "Shut the FUCK up! LET ME THE HELL OUT HERE!"
<End Log]>
Interview U: Day Twenty One
Note: By this point, many of the experiment staff have become extremely agitated by working with SCP-XXXX-1,
stating reasons such as "It feels like he's in my head." and "I'm starting to see memories that aren't mine".
Much of the team has been losing sleep, and work efficiency has significantly dropped.
Class-B Amnesiacs have been granted to the research team members who have requested transferal, in order to
remove any of the lasting effects of indirect SCP-XXXX-1 exposure.
Dr.███████: "How are you feeling today?"
D-1164: "I…I cant…"
Dr.███████: "Would you like me to repeat the question?"
D-1164: "No…"
Dr.███████: "…"
D-1164: "I cant…I cant remember any of them…I cant see their faces anymore. I cant remember their
voices anymore…"
Dr.███████: "You are still referring to your wife and child?"
[D-1164 shakes his head]
D-1164: "Not just them…Cant remember growing up…Mom or Dad…Head's so cold…empty."
Dr.███████: "I will remind you that this can stop at any time. You just have to give us back the coin."
[D-1164 looks blankly ahead, and begins to silently cry. He shakes his head slowly, and begins to look terrified]
D-1164: "Cant…"
<End Log]>
Closing Statement: Subject remained silent for the next two days and did not respond to interview
questions. However, telepathic projections also ceased during this time.
Medical and SCP Recovery team sent into the monitoring chamber determined D-1164 to be clinically brain-dead.
All research staff were given class-B amnesiacs after all documentation regarding SCP-XXXX-1 experimentation
was concluded, to remove any lingering thoughts and memories from D-1164's projections.
-RESULTS DEEMED CONCLUSIVE. TESTING CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE-
It also appears that, over time, direct exposure to SCP-XXXX-1 causes the Host's projected thoughts to be "worn out" of their minds, until there is little to no brain activity left to be broadcast.
In turn, these thoughts are permanently branded into the minds of those constantly within SCP-XXXX-1's effective range. Imprinting in the form of rogue memories, nightmares, hallucinations and alien thought patterns.
This effect on the indirectly exposed has so far only been seen to be reversible though advanced amnesiac therapy.
Addendum XXXX-2: on 08/12/████, a further instance of SCP-XXXX [SCP-XXXX-2] was discovered in ███████, approximately [DATA EXPUNGED] kilometers from the site of SCP-XXXX-1 discovery, and in similar circumstances.
Addendum XXXX-3: on 10/18/████, a third instance of SCP-XXXX [SCP-XXXX-3] was discovered.
Foundation is led to believe that an even larger number of SCP-XXXX remain in circulation or in private hands.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe/Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX:
SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a locked fireproof document storage case and not to be opened by personnel of any level other than with O5 pre-approval. Any additional copies of SCP-XXXX are to be destroyed upon discovery, and the discoverer subject to class-C amnesiacs to ensure the security of SCP-XXXX’s contents.
The remaining copy of SCP-XXXX in Foundation care is not to be photographed, copied by hand, or transcribed in any way.
Researchers with O5 approval to view SCP-XXXX are to be subject to psychoanalysis after they leave SCP-XXXX’s chamber, and subjected to class-C amnesiacs at the discretion of the O5 council.
SCP-XXXX-1:
Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 found created outside of Foundation experimental conditions are to be contained by MTF Beta-7 and destroyed on sight with the necessary amount of salt or saline fluid. Its creator is to be subject to immediate class-A amnesiac therapy, and their home searched for copies of SCP-XXXX.
Foundation created instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be stored in hermetically sealed, reinforced glass cylinders approximately 1mx30cm in size.
Chamber containing the cylinders is to be equipped with high pressure sprinklers connected to saline fluid tanks.
Chamber is to be monitored by CCTV at all times
Description: SCP-XXXX is a recipe written in child's crayon handwriting and entitled “Imaginary Friend Recipe”.
While the exact ingredients of this recipe are not to be disclosed to anybody, or on any documentation besides the SCP itself, it seems that everything detailed can be easily attained by a child. Either from their parents cupboards or a local grocery store.
The mixing of ingredients, and the application of the method of “cooking” written on the back will create instances of SCP-XXXX-1.
SCP-XXXX-1 manifests as a semi-viscous clear blob of gelatinous material that, over a period of 2.5 minutes, will shape itself into the form of a small humanoid figure with no visible facial features or digits, and stands anywhere from 3inches to 6ft tall [depending on the volume of the initial recipe mix]
The figure is entirely capable of independent movement, and responds to speech in all known languages.
Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 only appears to only respond to those directly responsible for their creation [in the case of multiple persons involved, it focuses on the last person chronologically to be a part of the process].
SCP-XXXX-1 will follow any and all commands given to it by its creator, including [but not limited to];
-Changing in size, mass and shape.
-Orders to attack anything asked of it.
-Orders to defend its creator at any personal cost to itself
-The completion of semi-advanced tasks [Ranging from picking up and putting down an object, to doing dishes and changing lightbulbs].
SCP-XXXX-1’s ability to change its own mass has also led to the following conclusions about its levels of physical resistance.
Conventional Damage:
-Completely resistant to conventional damage. [Bullets passing directly through it, blade wounds being instantly healed]
Appendage Severance/Separation:
-Severed appendages will almost instantly grow back. [Said severed appendage will lose any of its apparent special properties, and will dissolve into an unremarkable puddle of its chemical components]
Exothermic:
-Experiments with heat or fire based damage have yielded some results.
Chemicals making up SCP-XXXX-1 will burn, but if any part of its material
remains, it will regenerate fully to its previous shape within 2.5 minutes.
Endothermic:
-Sub-Zero temperatures appear to have little or no effect.
Radiation:
-Alpha and Gamma wave bombardment have had no effect on SCP-XXXX-1, but is does not block them either.
-Testing with weaponized radioactive material pending.
Audio:
-As with radioactive testing, SCP-XXXX-1 is resistant to any and all forms of extreme sound bombardment
[Though it does reportedly “jiggle”]
Saline:
-Upon suggestion by a low level researcher that “Salt kills slugs”, experimentation with saline material proved highly enlightening.
SCP-XXXX-1 is completely unresistant to salt, and it’s application will dissolve it’s physical makeup back to its base components.
Note:
[Later investigation of SCP-XXXX found this salt weakness to be written on the back. Right at the bottom. In very small letters…]
Addendum: Previously belief that SCP-XXXX-1 was capable of sentient thought has now been debunked. Everything it does must be done via orders from it's creator.
Any apparent sentience found when SCP-XXXX-1 was asked to "have a conversation" with class D personnel, is to be treated as the fluid attempting to imitate sentience for the sake of following orders.
Addendum: Yes, instances of SCP-XXXX-1 appear to be "crying" when subjected to Saline materials, but this is perfectly normal and just the fluid dissolving back into its base chemicals.
Addendum: Look, all they do is stand around and do nothing all day until somebody tells them to do something. We have checked for brain activity. We have checked for electromagnetism. We have checked for biosigns.
They are NOT sentient.
