SCP-████ in their containment cell.
Item #: SCP-████
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-████ is to be housed at Site-19, in the █████ wing. SCP-████'s containment cell is to be a 5m x 5m x 5m plexiglass room, with a temperate layout similar to ██████ beaches, including sand, regional flora, and seawater from the environment. SCP-████'s cell room is to be cleaned for any excrement or dirt, and to be checked for any internal damage biweekly. SCP-████ is to be fed a diet of algae and blue mussels, and is to be given a small bowl of fresh water to drink every day. If requested, SCP-████ may be granted a small portion of pancake, or "flat-doughs" as they will call it.
Any and all amnestic administered after testing with SCP-████, must be given an hour after initial exposure to the SCP. Failure to do so may result in an information breach.
Description: SCP-████ appears to be a male member of the species, Cancer borealis (Jonah Crab). It's the average size for its type and, besides a slight purple tint1 to its carapace, is not physically discernible from the rest of the species. No internal scans have shown evidence of SCP-████'s anomalous traits or abilities, again, being physically identical to the rest of its kind.
SCP-████'s most obvious anomalous trait is it's ability to emit human speech. It seems to only speak English, not seeming to understand any other dialects besides that. It's vocabulary is limited and seems to share the same vocal limits of a toddler. It rarely using complex words, unless repeating them, and will often go on long tangents attempting to describe something. During some of these tangents, SCP-████ will sometimes go on about something it calls, "Flat-doughs"2, commonly saying that it wishes to have them, and that they were "tasty". After further study, when being granted a "Flat-dough" it will be more cooperative during tests, and even attempt to improve its vocabulary. It is advised that before testing, SCP-████ should be fed a portion of "flat-dough" to ensure maximum cooperation.
SCP-████ also has the attribute that, upon physical contact to their body, the subject that has made contact, will remember anything that they have forgotten. This effect ranges from Amnesiacs and Amnestic, to more simple things such as the location of an object or an idea. The effectiveness of this trait however, is determined by how long the initial contact is.
▪ Under 30 seconds will only allow access to recently forgotten memories.
▪ 1 minute will usually allow the capability to remember small things, such as lost items or ideas.
▪ 3 minutes of initial contact, will make the effectiveness increase to its safest maximum, able to cure Amnesiacs or victims of amnestic spray. It is not advised to go any further.
▪ 4 minutes of contact will in almost all cases cause brain damage, seizures, or induce comas.
If you take your hand off the during initial exposure, and place your hand back on SCP-████ a second time, instead of regaining memories, your mind will be incapable to forget for up to an hour, and will increase your memory of important events. This effect is usually detrimental to those with PTSD or some that have suffered retrograde amnesia, remembering their traumatic events more clearly, or for the amnesiacs, simply knowing too much at a given time and not being adjusted to the sensation.
Addendum ████-A-1: Dr. █████ attempting first interview with SCP-████
Dr. █████: Hello, SCP-████. Could I speak with you?
SCP-████: Speak?
Dr. █████: Um yes, an interview of sorts.
SCP-████: Interview…
Dr. █████: (Audibly Sighs)
Dr. █████: Let's just get on with it okay?
SCP-████: Mhm!
Dr. █████: (Let's out a quick sigh of relief before rustling his papers a tad.) Okay first question, why do you keep… requesting for pancakes.
SCP-████: Pancake?
Dr. █████: Sorry… "Flat-doughs."
SCP-████: Oh yes, Flat-doughs! One day, was on a beach. Then, a guy, like you, dropped a flat-dough. I ran over, and taste it, and it was good.
Dr. █████: (Is heard writing on notepad) Interesting. Second question, do you know how you are able to speak?
SCP-████: Nope.
Dr. █████: Oh… helpful. (Looks down at his papers) Now the last question I'm supposed to ask, is… do you know why making contact with you recreates peoples memories?SCP-████: Um. I don't think. Maybe just magic.
Dr. █████: Of course. Thank you for cooperating SCP-████.
SCP-████: Yep.Dr. █████: (Audio is faintly heard before log ends) Why am I always appointed these shit assignme-
