Item #: XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept within a portable, soundproof, box made of quarter inch titanium at all times. This box may only be opened by class D personnel with the permission of two or more level 4 clearance personnel, who are to be inside the observation room adjacent of the test room at all times. The container must be kept inside of the appointed soundproof room at all times, this room should also have two security personnel of clearance level 2 at all time. These security personnel are to be equipped with; one AR-15, full body protection, and ear plugs. These security personnel are to be searched and given psych evaluations after the end of each shift, as should the clearance level 4 observers. The test room, and the adjacent observation room, is to be given routine sound tests to check for complete soundproofing, these tests should be held on the second Thursday of every month.

Description: SCP-XXX is a well-worn, brown leather cover book. The dimensions of which are (6 x 1½ x 11) inches. The book has an indeterminate amount of pages that appear to fluctuate with every reading [NOTE; All of these pages are blank, except for the first page which says “A TALE OF WOE #next line# by: Truman Capote” in the center with a large black font in a text that appears to be readable by all languages [Investigations show no correlation between Truman Capote and this book]]. Upon opening SCP-XXXX, subjects have reported feelings of; vertigo, fatigue, and hearing a ringing noise. After opening SCP-XXXX, or seeing the viewing side of the open SCP-XXXX, the effects of SCP-XXXX will begin somewhere between one and two minutes [NOTE; Because of this behavior, the book is to be kept inside the box, and the box is to be kept facing away from the observation window and security personnel].

Anyone affected by SCP-XXXX will begin emit to a disembodied voice; this voice appears to vary between all tests. This voice [which will here on be referred to as SCP-XXXX-1] will beginning narrating the subjects present situation, the diction of what SCP-XXXX-1 is describing changes with each instance, regardless of what is being described. SCP-XXXX-1 will go through four stages of behavior before returning to being inactive, these stages have unpredictable durations, the longest recorded being six months, and the shortest being sixteen seconds, they are assumed to be able to continue indefinitely.

Stage 1: SCP-XXXX-1 will narrate what is happening to the subject at the present moment in an accurate manor.

Stage 2: SCP-XXXX-1 will begin to narrate what will happen before it happens. The time between what is said, and what happens appears to change with each subject, but will stay the same through out the entire Narration of one subject.

Stage 3: SCP-XXXX-1 will begin to narrate things that vary from improbable, to impossible. These things will then happen as predicted. This stage is one of high security risk [See Addendum 1].

Stage 4: SCP-XXXX-1 will narrate something that will result in the subjects death, The means to this very widely and can also present itself during any stage and time.

Although rare, cases have been recorded where SCP-XXXX-1 has transferred hosts to a person who is able to hear it [see Addendum 2], attempts to intentionally trigger this event have failed.

Addendum 1: The following is a composition of excerpts from the bi-weekly tests using Class-D personnel on SCP-XXXX that present examples of the potential danger of SCP-XXXX’s Stage 3.

Test excerpts 1: date: [redacted] Class D XXXX-X, after experiencing the first two stages without considerable event, enters stage 3.

SCP-XXXX-1: And then [redacted] pulled the [redacted] out of his pocket, aimed it at the see through mirror and fired.

*XXXX-X produces [redacted] and fires it at observation glass*

*The surviving security personnel, with the assistance of Dr. [redacted], apprehended XXXX-X. standard SCP-XXXX was put into temporary storage while the facility was sterilized. [redacted] was destroyed.*

Test excerpts 2: date: [redacted] Class D XXXX-X, after experiencing the first stage, subject enters stage 4.

SCP-XXXX-1: [redacted], with the resurfacing memory of his abusive father, took his own life.

*XXXX-X then grips his trachea, and pulls it out of his neck.*

*After this, standard sterilizing procedure is undertaken.*
Narrator: [redacted], with his dying breath, exploded into a sphere of flames.

*XXXX-X proceeded to open his eyes, look around, and explode.*

*The facility was then sterilized and a thirty minute grace period was added after the death of Class D subjects before sterilization.*

Text excerpt 3: date [redacted] Class D XXXX-X, after entering stage 3, fifty minutes of silence from SCP-XXXX-1 then said this.

SCP-XXXX-1: [redacted] then turned into a monster, with fifty tentacles and one giant eye.

*XXXX-X then turned into a creature of unknown genus, possessing fifty tentacles, and a single eye.*

SCP-XXXX-1: [redacted] then broke out of the cell and ate up the bad guys.

*XXXX-X then broke out of the test room by [redacted] and proceeded to consume three facility members.*

*After one hour and thirty seven minutes on high alert, XXXX-X was eliminated, sterilization procedure was activated and XXXX-X was dissected.*

*further tests postponed until proper security procedure can be acquired.*

Addendum 2: The following is an excerpt from the bi-weekly tests using Class-D personnel XXXX-X on SCP-XXXX that shows the anomalous nature of SCP-XXXX-1’s transfer ability.

*XXXX-X enters stage 3*

SCP-XXXX-1: [redacted] was shot by car full of filthy hippies.

*A car then materialized within the test room, opens fire on XXXX-X with what witnesses called “comically large guns”.*

*XXXX-X then died, presumably due to heart failure.*

*Facility personnel then entered the thirty minute sterilization grace time, at which time the only people in the room were the security personnel.*

SCP-XXXX-1: DR.[redacted] then looked to his co-worker, and only companion [redacted], and said “[redacted]”

Dr.[redacted]: “[redacted]”

*Dr.[redacted] was then put into quarantine, as was SCP-XXXX, further testing has had little success in recreating the phenomena.*
