Item #: SCP-#
Object Class: Keter Apollyon
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-# is auto-containing. It must be uncontained. Scientific research is ongoing in all Foundation facilities to achieve that objective.
Description: As discovered by the team lead by Dr. A███ E████, SCP-# is a group of several points in space, regularly distributed and equidistant. Every instance of SCP-# is exactly 1 Planck length from any other adjacent instance1. The region of space composed by the instances of SCP-# is labeled SCP-#-1.
The instances of SCP-# have an auto-containment anomalous characteristic: every point is constantly shifting into a pocket dimension, and the process is naturally extended to matter, energy, and space occupying that region.
Every pocket dimension is separated from the others, meaning that at the end of the process everything within SCP-#-1 will be broken apart into an infinite number of infinitesimal self-contained pocket dimensions.
The process is exponential in nature, because the more mass/energy is drawn into the pocket dimension, the easier it will be to attract the remaining mass and energy still existing outside of it. That also means that even if the auto-containment effect was negligible until recent times, it will reach its maximum in a relatively short period of time.
Addendum 14/10/20██: Relativistic mass-shift experiments have shown that the auto-containment characteristic of SCP-# is actually an intrinsic feature of every point of space of the entire Multiverse. The definition of SCP-# has now been updated to ℵω2.

20██ | 0.0000000000004% |
Afterword: Scranton Reality Anchors have proven to be ineffective against the auto-containment feature of SCP-#, because the process is happening within reality, although when the process is complete, there will not be a definable reality anymore, thus resulting in a complete ZK-Class "End-of-Reality" scenario.
It is advisable that all research departments and laboratories are redirected to studying SCP-#.
We are not done yet. And if we have to go, we go fighting.
We secure, we contain, and we protect.

Note.txt
I think we failed. Have we been able to find a way to de-contain SCP-#, then it would have been "only" Keter Class, or maybe even Euclid or Safe. But we failed to develop such a technology. Yes, they say there's time. A very little time. So what?
In a while, the nothingness will just be too much. Every system composed of matter or energy, or just void space, will collapse simultaneously. Stars, planets, animals, plants, computers. And we are already on the verge. Look at that number. All those nines in there.
I'm standing in front of the end of the worl Who cares about the fucking world.
I'm standing in front of the end of myself.
That's what everyone cares about, ultimately.
The strategy to keep everything secret to the public was a success. We could work in peace, and work hard. We even had some tiny successes. But they were not enough to reverse the auto-containment feature.
And meanwhile many other scientists discovered that atoms are 99.9999999999996% empty space. At first we were able to manage the situation with amnestics. But soon enough that notion became widespread among scientists, and then among the public. We feared a major panic outbreak when the people would realize that the reality we see in front of our eyes barely exists.
That we barely exist.
Are we so important, then? We are literally nothing. We are empty. Empt
But there was nothing to do at that point, we couldn't censor that information anymore. So what could we do? We taught people. We manipulated schools and universities to teach that that number is perfectly normal. That's just what it is. There's nothing to fear in normalcy. Nothing, never.
So wrong.
We argued in the laboratory. Those youngsters said that we should inform people of the upcoming catastrophe. So that everyone could spend time with their loved ones.
Their loved ones. How romantic.
And how pathetic. They will eat their loved ones.
They will look for a scapegoat. That's what people does when confronting an impending doom they have no control over. They like to think that it is someone else's fault. Maybe they will target the different. Or maybe they will target the Foundation.
I saw documents from other Universes. They informed people there, and things went awful. People didn't stop their destruction wave, even when they were told that a technology that could literally save their existence was almost ready.
They just keep mak Are they really worth sav
But I am so confused right now, that I don't even know if I saw those documents for real, or if I just dreamed of them.
If someone in another Universe is seeing this, right now, you should kn Bullshit. I am writing this to myself, am I not.
Anyway, we had to hide this discovery to the population. The concept was simple: hide in plain sight. Execution, instead, was rather hard. It still is, the SCP-# information obfuscation protocol will be in operation until the very end. Until people will start noticing. And they will, as it will probably be painful.
We had to infiltrate publishers, libraries, schools, universities. Rewrite everything. Instruct instructors. In the end, people learned that atoms are empty. Perfectly normal. Nothing to fear.
But let's be honest: how can matter be composed almost entirely of emptiness? That is ridiculous. How can such a thing be normal?
Because it isn't.
We are staring into the abyss.
And we are already witnessing the first ▖▓▗▟▔

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: The only known instance of SCP-XXXX-EN-07 is stored in Locker 1618 at Site-77 with a Clearance Level 5 authorization electronic lock. Testing on SCP-XXXX-EN-07 has been forbidden by the Site Director.
Instances of SCP-XXXX must be immediately destroyed and Class A amnestics must be administerd to the SCP-XXXX-E that generated it and anyone else who came in visual contact with the instance of SCP-XXXX. Follow up of SCP-XXXX-E is mandatory; if they try to reconstruct SCP-XXXX then psychological diversion measures should be set in place. Termination of any SCP-XXXX-E is to be avoided unless extraordinary circumstances, such them becoming too dangerous after exposure to SCP-XXXX.
Places to be monitored for occurrencies of SCP-XXXX include and are not limited to universities, research institutes, R&D departments, private and public schools, academic organizations, scientific publishers; also web discussions and private e-mails that could contain an instance of SCP-XXXX or any instruction on how to generate it, even if partial.
Manufacturers of mathematical software were instructed as to make their products crash or become unresponsive should an user try to generate SCP-XXXX; anyway, as new software arises on a daily basis, the market and the open source community must be constantly monitored.
All appropriate MTFs are advised.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a family of graphical patterns generated by the combination of evil numbers. It is comprised of 6 such patterns that the Foundation has come in contact with, labeled SCP-XXXX-EN-01 to SCP-XXXX-EN-06. A new pattern has been discovered inside the Foundation by dr. Guglielmo Abissini in the Anomalous Math Research Dept. of Site-77, and labeled SCP-XXXX-EN-07.
Evil Numbers
Evil numbers are nonnegative real numbers whose decimals when summed reach at a certain point the value 666. A comprehensive list of such numbers follows:
Value | Formula (Name) |
---|---|
3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937… | $\pi$ (pi) |
1.61803398874989484820458683436563811772030917980… | $\phi$ (golden ratio) |
2.44948974278317809819728407470589139196594748065… | $\sqrt{6}$ (square root of 6) |
2.625374126407687439999999999992500725971981…×1017 | $e^{\pi\sqrt{163}}$ (Ramanujan constant) |
1.24573093961551732596668033664030508093930999306… | $\sqrt[5]{3}$ |
-0.0728158454836767248605863758749013191377363383… | $\gamma_1$ (Stieltjes constant) |
1.73205080756887729352744634150587236694280525381… | $\sqrt{3}$ |
12.5663706143591729538505735331180115367886775975… | $4\pi$ |
[Remaining numbers redacted for brevity]
The evil numbers themselves are harmless; SCP-XXXX is the combination of such numbers between themselves in any one of several specific graphical patterns. Visual exposure >5 minutes to such patterns pose a cognitohazard to humans; such individuals are labeled SCP-XXXX-E.
Any other non-visual type of exposure have no effect. Animals seem to be slightly affected by the instances of SCP-XXXX too; evidence, however, is at the moment inconclusive.
Effects
Primary effect of exposure on SCP-XXXX-E is memetic in nature, and consists in the acquisition of a large knowledge, apparently by non-physical means and without any effort from SCP-XXXX-E themselves. Newly acquired knowledge is often related to SCP-XXXX-E's interests and desires; although not quantifiable, it can be described as superhuman, since many details are inaccessible by conventional means, or are at the moment unknown to the scientific community. Examples of such are: secrets about people's psychology, inner functioning of mechanical or electronic devices, practical knowledge about undiscovered scientific principles.
Immediately following exposure SCP-XXXX-E realize they have acquired new information, and that may result in confusion, and sometimes paranoia and aggression; after a variable time in the range from less than a minute to an hour SCP-XXXX-E tend to exhibit a cold, calculating behavior in order to acquire personal object(s) of desire, be that material and/or immaterial. This leads to the prosecution of selfish actions, that usually are harmful to other individuals up to the entire society.
As new acquired knowledge is usually employed by SCP-XXXX-E by selfish means, it is clear that that is not an effect of SCP-XXXX. Harmful behavior is believed to be the result of the human mind being subjected to an amount of knowledge in such a short time that was not contemplated by human neurobiological evolution.
Handwritten note
The patterns, SCP-XXXX that is, only ascend you to a higher level of understanding. This by itself is great news. Sadly, the subjects become evil because human nature just cannot handle that.
Dr. Lo Conte
Secondary effects of SCP-XXXX include nausea, vertigo, dizziness, anxiety, aggression, fear, euphoria, and may not be present.
The effects of SCP-XXXX are completely reversible by use of Class A amnestics. Accidental visual exposure for less than 60 seconds can be nullified by staring at a white surface for the same amount of time.
SCP-XXXX Generation Procedure
The patterns that comprises SCP-XXXX are generated using the decimal digits of evil numbers; for that reason they can only be generated by means of a computer or scientific calculator.
Handwritten note
Except for SCP-XXXX-EN-07 which dr. Abissini recently discovered – see my report.
Dr. Lo Conte
Procedure for the generation of the patterns is as follows:
- Acquire formulas for several evil numbers: cardinality of numbers are directly correlated with strength of the memetic effect;
- Calculate the numbers with high floating-point precision: cardinality of decimal digits are also directly correlated with strength of the memetic effect;
- Sort the numbers in ascending or descending order;
- Arrange the decimal digits into a matrix, where each row corresponds to a number, and each column to a decimal digit, in the corresponding position;
- Color each cell of the matrix with a shade of gray: darker for lower digit value and brighter for higher value;
- In order to generate the different patterns emply the simple modification of [DATA EXPUNGED].
Specifications: SCP-XXXX-EN-02 / -05 / -06
These patterns are considered to pose no serious threat. In order to have effect, they have to be stared at for at least 5-6 minutes, without looking away.
Warning: Do not stare.
Instance: SCP-XXXX-EN-02
Description: It is the 2nd instance of SCP-XXXX the Foundation became aware of.
Effects: Recalling of old memories, usually of childhood.
Recovery Log: Recovered from A. J., a computer scientist who started sharing the istance of SCP-XXXX-EN-02 with his friends in JPEG format. All involved civilians were administered with appropriate amnestic treatment.
Instance: SCP-XXXX-EN-05
Description: It is the 5th instance of SCP-XXXX the Foundation became aware of.
Effects: Recalling of old memories, usually embarassing or unnerving ones.
Recovery Log: Recovered from N. B., a math teacher in ████, Arizona. Another instance recovered from F. K. and G. K., two high school student savant brothers in ██████, Ukraine. Appropriate amnestic treatment was administered.
Instance: SCP-XXXX-EN-06
Description: It is the 6th instance of SCP-XXXX the Foundation became aware of.
Effects: resurfacing of repressed memories, sometimes accompanied by a mild vertigo. As a consequence subject may experience anxiety or panic attacks.
Recovery Log: Recovered from A. J. Q., an astrophysicist with the hobby of creation of visual mathematics for his YouTube channel, in ██████, France. Appropriate amnestics were administered to him and all those who saw the video containing the instance of SCP-XXXX-EN-06.Handwritten note
F██k, this guy had over 1,000 subscribers, what a pain in the ass!
Shouldn't you "help" me recover from this Herculean fatigue, eh, Dr.?
Your favorite MTF operativeP.S. I should probably stick to WhatsApp, last time I left you an old-fashioned note you almost forgot it on the containment procedure document, haha
Specifications: SCP-XXXX-EN-01 / -03 / -04
These patterns generate serious memetic effects. Instances should be traced and gotten rid of immediately. Use of amnestics on relative instances of SCP-XXXX-E and follow up are mandatory. In order to have effect, they have to be stared at for at least 5-6 minutes, without looking away.
▚ – Following data require Level 2 Clearance authorization
Warning: Do not stare.
Instance: SCP-XXXX-EN-01
Description: It is the 1st instance of SCP-XXXX the Foundation became aware of.
Effects: Memetic effect, knowledge augmentation. May also cause nausea, fear, paranoia, euphoria. Affected subjects become socially dangerous.
Recovery Log: Recovered from D. F., a math researcher at the University of ██████████. He acquired the knowledge on how to break encryption algorithm such as AES or DES. Claimed to have suddenly understood how to solved Riemann's Hypothesis, although no notes were found on that both in his home and office. He used his new acquired knowledge to hack the Bank of ███████ and transfer millions of dollars on his account, emptying thousands of other accounts. Caught when crashed his Ferrari Enzo while driving drunk and checking a Wikipedia article on his mobile phone about coomology; couldn't justify the car and many other high-price belongings when questioned by the authorities. Appropriate amnestics administered to all involved individuals.
Instance: SCP-XXXX-EN-03
Description: It is the 3rd instance of SCP-XXXX the Foundation became aware of.
Effects: Memetic effect, knowledge augmentation. May also cause nausea, fear, paranoia, euphoria. Affected subjects become socially dangerous.
Recovery Log: Recovered from J. K. R., a retired physics university student and programmer. He considered himself a "nerd", and didn't have a fulfilling social life; after exposure to SCP-XXXX-EN-03 he became able to understand human behavior to a superhuman level, and also acquired information on personal secrets about individuals he was infatuated with. Used his new acquired knowledge to lure those individuals to his home where he manipulated them to have sex with him, and to gain complete control over their lives, even destroying tens of families. He even killed some of them, acquiring, by a second use of SCP-XXXX-EN-03, a perfect chemistry knowledge on how to get rid of the bodies without trace. Caught when he wrote hints about his behavior on his Facebook wall, and mistakenly set the post to "public". He broke when questioned by Foundation agents. He was administered with appropriate amnestics; his victims had to undergo psychological treatment.
Instance: SCP-XXXX-EN-04
Description: It is the 4th instance of SCP-XXXX the Foundation became aware of.
Effects: Memetic effect, knowledge augmentation. May also cause nausea, fear, paranoia, euphoria. Affected subjects become socially dangerous.
Recovery Log: Recovered from B. D., a finance broker. She acquired perfect market knowledge, and become able to both precisely predict market movements, as well as how to influence them. She was so loyal to her company that she manipulated the market as to make the company gain billion of dollars in mere weeks. Due to this, the CEO, mr. A. L., was arrested under suspicion of fraud and bribery. In order to try to solve the situation, B. D. tried to secretly acquire the necessary money to pay for caution; despite the initial good intention, she got carried away and started opening a series of matrioska companies that got an oligopoly on the stock market for personal gain. Effect on the market was so severe that she was responsible for the economic crisis of 20██. Caught when her 4 tonne golden statue of her resemblance mistakenly rolled out of the TIR transporting it during a control, and rolled down the hills of Capri, Italy, ultimately falling into the sea. The splash was so dramatic that it called attention from media and authorities. After undisclosure of B. D.'s doing, Mr. A. L. was released from jail, and all involved individuals were administered the proper amnestic dose.
Specifications: SCP-XXXX-EN-07
This pattern generates serious memetic effects. Instances must be traced and got rid of immediately. Use of amnestics on relative instances of SCP-XXXX-E and follow up are mandatory. Effective time of exposure is unknown; at the moment it is advised to keep it under 10 seconds.
A seventh pattern of SCP-XXXX has been discovered by Dr. Guglielmo Abissini of the Math Department while studying SCP-XXXX. This pattern is to be considered extremely dangerous, because it can be created using only pen and paper, and a little patience. Possibly, and worryingly, a middle school student may be able to recreate it.
Also, this is the most powerful pattern of all. Let me explain facts in chronological order.
April, 27th
Dr. Abissini was seen screaming in the corridor of the Math Department; he vomited there, and almost fainted, and was grabbed by a Class 0 personnel before hitting his head on the floor. Following, he explained that he discovered SCP-XXXX-EN-07 and observed it for a moment, experiencing nausea and fear.April, 28th
Dr. Abissini volunteered to be the test subject for SCP-XXXX-EN-07. Since no physical harm was generated by SCP-XXXX, and an amnestic is sufficient to reverse the effect, Site Director agreed on it, under the condition that Dr. Abissini was to be contained in a standard cell for all the duration of the experiment, and given a Class A amnestic at the end, regardless of presence of effects.May, 1st
Dr. Abissini looked for 7 minutes and 6 seconds at a sheet of paper with the instance of SCP-XXXX-EN-07 he created. At the end he only said: «Ah.»May, 2nd
Dr. Abissini engaged in casual conversation with many researchers, but arguments were rather trivial. He started caressing his long beard, a habit he didn't have before.May, 3rd, 10:30 AM
Dr. Abissini asked to talk with Dr. Amanda Ferilli. An extract of the conversation follows:Guglielmo: How are you, Amanda?
Amanda: Quite well, Dr. Abissini. You wanted to see me?
G: Yes, I did.
A: What is it?
G: Let me get it straight: what is it that you desire most?
A: An why is that?
G: That, my dear Dr. Ferilli, is the condition of the human mind, isn't it?
A: I am not following you, Dr..
G: Is it the ultimate happiness to gain what we desire? And yet, when inquired about it, instead of jumping at it like a door to the ultimate treasure, you got cautious.
A: I… it was just a question.
G: You are indeed right. As usual.
A: As usual?
G: Oh, yes. You like to be behind the scenes, I know. Doing your work remarkably, and not boast about yourself.
A: That I believe to be the best course of action for a professional.
G: Indeed. (pause) Or is it? (pause) That pink lipstick, and the very light makeup… that white gold bracelet, it is so thin and delicate.
A: Look, you are really strange today.
(G grabs her arm)
G: This is you, don't you understand? What you choose to wear, to adorn your body with… this is an expression of you. The same fact that you are standing here means that you have a place in the world. Your mere physical body, the impenetrability of matter, it's because the universe itself is telling you that no one else is supposed to be in your place right here and right now.
A: Ah… look Dr., I have to wor–
G: But. You should be there, reaching your way up to the direction.
A: Ah… I…
G: Yes, you. Why were not you the one they promoted? I shall tell you: because you are not aware of your potential.
(
A:The aftermath of this conversation will be clear later in the document.
> May, 3rd, 16:00 PM
In the evening I myself went to Dr. Abissini containment room to inquire about the effects of SCP-XXXX-EN-07. An extract of the conversation follows:Erminia: Good afternoon, Dr. Abissini.
Guglielmo: Good morning to you, Dr. Erminia Lo Conte. How is my former protégé?
E: I am quite good, Dr. Abissini. But the most interesting subject is you, at the moment.
G: (stands up, turns around) I am not turning into an exotic monster, am I?
E: I can tell by visual examination that surely not, Dr.. Also, your medical examination states that you are in good health.
G: That is the biggest of lucks, I am I wrong?
E: I gladly state that there is no trace of your usual nihilism.
G: Got to take a break some times. Those thoughts are unhealthy, after all.
E: How about your mental state, Dr.?
G: (sits down) I just feel talkative, philosophical, even. But I cannot really tell if that is SCP-XXXX-EN-07's effect, or just my old age. (giggles)
E: So, do you feel any impulse or compulsion?
G: No, no urge of robbing banks or creating economical crises, no.
E: You didn't experience any memetic effect?
G: Oh, I did. This table, is composed by polyvinyl chloride. But you know what also? There is a 12.4% of impurities. Also, if you want to break it, along this line lies its weakest points. Seems that the manufacturers did not meet our expectations of 100% perfection. I would suggest termination of them.
E: Pardon me, Dr.?!
G: (giggles) That was just a joke, my dear.
E: Sometimes things may not be perfect.
G: "May not be"? The world is the most far thing from perfection. Look, that wall has a concrete with only 71% of hydraulic calcium aluminates. That is rubbish.
E: Enough for a standard humanoid containment room, I guess.
G: How about the light bulbs? Programmed senescence, the LED are not soldered with the right thickness. Pay attention to your heels, they will likely break when you will go check SCP-████ as your regular schedule.
E: I am not planning to go there with high heels–
G: And then you do. Because you are short, you always change your mind at the last moment, and end up choosing aesthetics over comfort.
E: I am not–!
G: I know. I am not saying you are not professional. Your reports are the best, I read them all.
E: I…
G: The point is, the world around us is imperfection incarnated. We simply don't see them, but they are everywhere. Now I can see them. It is… depressing.
E: (clears throat) So, that is the effect of SCP-XXXX-EN-07.
G: Yes, this is it.
E: Tell me more. How was it? What did you feel?
G: You haven't read the Book of Genesis, so I can't tell you.
E: What? No, I have, it's the story of Adam and Eve.
G: No, you haven't, I know. You just know the general story, but not the details.
E: I am not a religious person.
G: That is not the point.
E: What is it then?
G: When in the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were blissed by ignorance. Then they ate the Forbidden Fruit, and they knew about good and evil. That's why God sent them forth from Eden. Now, this SCP-XXXX-EN-07… it is like getting a taste of the Fruit. It's like sticking your head through the bushes, and getting a glimpse of the Garden of Eden. Looking at how a literal perfect world is really made.
E: That's too eschatological, I just asked–
G: Don't you see?
E: (crosses arms) What I don't see.
G: "Someone"… created the world in a way that in these numbers there was something that we could explore. And that "Someone" did so that we could only discover them when we had the sufficient technology. When we would have been ready. What do you say of that?
E: A coincidence. Maybe in another universe different numbers have the same effect. Or different things altogether.
G: Right… in the end, what do we know?
E: Right… also, the very same SCP-XXXX-EN-07 you created yourself can be generated with pen and paper.
G: Exactly my dear. Don't you think that that was a teaser that God gave us?
E: A teaser? Like a theatrical teaser?
G: Yes. Maybe He wanted us to glimpse at what's next.
E: (laughs) "What's next"? The Bible ends with the Book of Apocalypse.
G: That much you do know.
E: Yet I didn't see any apocalypse, despite all the prophecies.
G: We have many Keter Class entities, you know that. They can…
E: Those are contained. This is our job.
G: (smiles) Indeed, it is.
E: This is the weirdest conversation I ever had with you. Anyway, I should go now.
G: Please, come back. This room is so boring. I can understand how the contained entities feel now. We should let them go for a walk once in a while.
E: Dr., that's not–!
G: (whispering) That was a joke. Two days inside of here and I am already so bored.
E: I will be back soon to check on your conditions. Goodbye Dr. Abissini.
G: Goodbye Dr. Lo Conte. <Are you now going to your MTF little soldier?>3
E: <How do you–>
G: <How do I know? Did you really ask me that?>
E: <That's inappropriate, Dr.!>
G: <You said it yourself. Where is your professionalism? You are so precise, so diligent, and yet when something is bothering your mind, you become… forgetful. Are you so insecure?>
E: That's enough! I'll ask for administration of amnestics tomorrow morning.
G: I agree. Nothing really happened, after all.When I exited Dr. Abissini's containment room I was very upset from the conversation I had with him. Later I encountered Dr. Ferilli, but she completely ignored me. She had an hateful look in her eyes.
I am not indulging with personal anecdotes here, please read on. I learned the hard way that when dealing with SCP-XXXX the most crucial thing is the tiniest detail.
May, 3rd, 11:52 PM
A containment breach of SCP-████ occurred around midnight. It was a disaster: there were almost 70 casualties and 14 collateral containment breaches; it took more than 3 hours to return the situation under control.While I was running in the corridor during the breach, I encountered Dr. Abissini. He was outside of his containment cell, and there were some SCP-████ with him; he clearly was in control of them; they responded to his orders.
So I confronted him; I am writing the conversation I had with him from memory. I was very confused at that time, but it should be accurate:
Erminia: Dr.?! What are you doing?! Run!
Guglielmo: (stops SCP-████ with a gesture) Stop for a moment, you all. Can't you see, my dear Erminia? I don't need to run. But maybe you do.
E: What is the meaning of this?
G: The End to Imperfection. The Beginning of the New World. Think. The Creator… Why did He gave us the entities we contain?
E: Nobody gave anything to anybody! They are just there!
G: That is where you are wrong. They were not created to be contained. They were created to be unleashed.
E: That's nonsense! You… can control them, isn't it? Can you tell them to get back to their cell?
G: I shan't.
E: Why?! Why do you do that?!
G: Because I can.
E: That is not an excuse!
G: You would do the same.
E: I wouldn't! Never!
G: You are just human. This is just a lie you like to tell yourself. Knowledge is power. And human thirst for power is limitless.
E: I wouldn't!
G: It is not that you do not want. It is that you cannot. Afraid of that thirsty monster inside your head? Which is yourself, by the way? Well, negate it how much you desire. Not that will make a difference. The End is just the flipside to the Beginning. (waves towards SCP-████) Kill her.I was attacked by one SCP-████ and immediately lost consciousness. I was later informed that I was saved by a MTF agent who happened to bump into my whereabouts and shot SCP-████.
The rest I was able to figure out when I was in the Foundation medical facility.
I got irreversible nerve damage and now I lost motor function to my right arm.
Dr. Abissini, my former mentor, had to be inhumanely terminated.
That's all for my report. For other details read the document about the containment breach. Or ask the MTF agents. Or the workers that are repairing the facility. I care no more.

▚ – Following data require Level 4 Clearance authorization.
Instance: SCP-XXXX-EN-07
Description: It is the 7th instance of SCP-XXXX the Foundation became aware of.
Effects: Memetic effect, enormous knowledge augmentation. May also cause nausea, fear, paranoia. Affected subjects become extremely dangerous, and develop sociopath tendencies on a global scale.
Recovery Log: Discovered by Dr. G. Abissini in the Anomalous Math Research Department of Site-77.
Addendum: Request by Dr. E. Lo Conte to destroy the instance of SCP-XXXX-EN-07 has been refused. Experimentation on SCP-XXXX-EN-07 is denied until new notice. Signed Site-77 Director.
Handwritten note
In the end, all the individuals that used instances of SCP-XXXX were caught only because of chance. Otherwise, the execution of their evil plans would have been flawless. I don't believe that that is always the case. How many of them didn't have "bad luck"? How many SCP-XXXX-E are out there ruining our lives right now?I believe quite many. They cause our misfortunes, and we wouldn't even know.
All appropriate MTFs, be advised.
Secure. Contain. Protect.
