Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-XX are to be guarded by no fewer than four armed agents. Additionally all instances are to be wired with explosives placed such that detonation will destroy the instance with the detonator in the control of a remote agent monitoring the site via camera. All signs are to be removed, doors locked, and the windows barred. In the event of an assault by individuals attempting to access the instance agents are ordered to capture or repel the intruders if possible. If at any point intruders gain access to SCP-XX the explosives are to be detonated.

New users of SCP-XX located by the Brachowski Protocol are to be tracked down and questioned to ascertain the location of the SCP-XX instance they have used before being given amnestics and released. Subjects that were in the third trimester of pregnancy at the time of exposure are to have labor induced and given false memories of a miscarriage. Any surviving children are to be raised in containment, given access to abundant educational material and tested for use as subjects in the Garrington Initiative.1

Subjects with no degree type are to be treated as a class 3 bio-hazard and brought into custody. Once contained a foundation oncologist is to perform a full diagnostic on them and all tumors found are to be surgically removed and incinerated regardless of subjects survival chances. Under no circumstances are personal to respond to tumors vocalizations. Surviving subjects are to be kept in standard humanoid containment cells and given weekly cancer screenings.

Description: SCP-XX is a series of anomalous schools labeled as the “Manna Charitable Institute”. All instances have numerous signs with various slogans advertising a fast, free and quality education.
SCP-XX manifestations have all been found in locations with high concentrations of poverty and low levels of education. When questioned about SCP-XX residents of the area will state that it has been there for a while though they will not remember any specific dates or details of its construction.

Individuals entering an instance of SCP-XX experience a brief lightheadedness and gain new memories. These new memories are of completing a degree program at a college named the “Manna Charitable Institute” in a major matching their interests.2 These memories seem real to the individual and will usually be consistent with existing memories.3 Subsequent entries do not produce this effect.

Anyone reading the resume or reference of a subject accepts the “Manna Charitable Institute” as a legitimate educational reference and infers the subject of the degree even when this information is not provided.4

SCP-XX was created by Richard Sanders, a 57 year old college professor who passed away from lung cancer shortly after the completion of the first instance. Mr Sanders is the teacher in all memories granted by SCP-XX and is generally described as an enthusiastic and patient teacher(except in a minority of cases where a degree in a subject Mr. Sanders would have considered unethical is obtained in which cases he is described as reluctant, unhappy and crying). Mr Sanders taught at the University of ████ ███ which is the same university listed on SCP-1066 and is believed to have been involved in the scheme to sell access to SCP-1066.

The following note was found with Mr. Sanders body.

The cancer hurts like hell. The chemo is almost worse than it. Worst of all is the knowledge that my time is limited no matter what I do. And yet, despite it all, I am happier than I have ever been before. I have not lived a good life. My greed has pushed away everyone I ever cared about and yet even that wasn't enough to make me change my ways. It took the realization that no matter how much money I had I was going to lose it all to the grave to wake me up. I see now that I wasted my life valuing the wrong things but I do not despair. For at last I have found a love for life and the people in it. It may be too late for me to do much with that love myself but I have realized how to share it with those in need. I hereby mark all of my flesh that I might create something more to help those in need.5
