Item #: SCP-xxxx
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of SCP-xxxx, it cannot be contained. MTF Mu-13 ("Critics") has been established to track down and terminate instances of SCP-xxxx-1 and to curb particularly infectious media.
Description: SCP-xxxx is a memetic contagion that is spread through the consumption of various forms of media. Certain media, such as film, have a higher rate of infection. Media designed to entertain seems to be the most infectious, particularly media that is classified as "comedy". To date, SCP-xxxx has been observed to spread through visual and auditory vectors.
Due to the ubiquitous nature of media, it is impossible to fully contain SCP-xxxx. However, measures can be taken to curb infection rates and prevent instances of SCP-xxxx-1. It is currently estimated that 8█% of the world's population is infected, with developed regions having much higher rates of infection.
SCP-xxxx infection can take several forms. Its primary form, SCP-xxxx-alpha is the most common, comprising 8█% of all infections. SCP-xxxx-alpha is relatively harmless. It manifests itself as a tendency to interject references to various media when prompted with appropriate situations.
Its secondary form, SCP-xxxx-beta occurs in approximately 1█% of infected subjects. It causes an obsession with certain forms of media, particularly those that caused the infection in the subject. Subjects become reclusive and and show a strong preference toward discussing media over any other topic of conversation. This form, while mildly debilitating, is still mostly harmless.
Its tertiary form, SCP-xxxx-gamma occurs in only 0.█% of infected subjects. Subjects (deemed SCP-xxxx-1) are only able to communicate using direct quotes and actions from previously viewed media. While performing these acts, the primary anomalous effect activates.
Whenever an instance of SCP-xxxx-1 quotes or acts out a scene, all associated effects that occurred in the scene to the character or characters will happen to the subject. Physically, there appears to be no outside physical cause, however, among other effects, burns, cuts, and puncture wounds have appeared on subjects. These effects have the potential to kill the subject, most notably if the scene referenced ends with the character dying. Physically impossible actions have also been observed through this effect. See the video log for further details.
Despite the potential for danger and self benefit, instances of SCP-xxxx-1 seem unable to control the media they reference. Instead, they immediately respond with the most appropriate scene, often skewed toward more famous scenes. If provided with an incomplete quote, subjects will complete it if they have knowledge of it.
Alpha and beta forms of SCP-xxxx are treatable with Class A Amnestics. See addendum-xxxx-2 for further details.
Video Log: SCP-xxxx-1 subjects are confined to a 3m x 3m room and primed with various phrases or situations
Addendum-xxxx-1: The rise of the internet has provided a new vector for SCP-xxxx to spread along. Internet based media has shown to be particularly infectious. MTF Mu-13 has been dispatched to curb the infectiousness of internet based media.
Addendum-xxxx-2: While treatable, it may not be desirable to treat the alpha and beta forms of SCP-xxxx. So far, they seem to confer an immunity to the more disruptive gamma form. Alpha infections should never be treated, and beta infections should only be treated on a case by case basis.
- becomes head of an employee run committee to improvement to the foundation
- imprisoned on suspicion of infection
- gets outside help to escape
- researches the scp
- discovers the potential truth
- ambiguous end- is it infection? Or a conspiracy?
All I ever wanted was to do the right thing. That's what led to me sitting here in this cell, doomed to the fate of a D-class. No. Worse than that. I don't even get the promise of freedom at the end. The Foundation is going to chew me up and spit me out all because of that stupid committee.
Believe it or not, I used to be head of personnel at Site 13. It was my job the ensure that we had qualified employees and good morale. Good morale. Can you imagine that? What do you expect morale to be like when a 15% casualty rate is a good thing? How can you expect people to be happy at their jobs when picking up a spoon could snap your spine like a twig?
Being promoted is not always a good thing. Sure, Site Director or Head Researcher might be glamorous, but Head of Personnel of Site 13? Dr. Anders sighed and put down the stack of dossiers. "Ensure Site 13 is staffed with qualified personnel and maintain employee morale." What does that even mean? Who's qualified? In this stack alone he had 5 "psychics", 2 "wizards", and a cryptozoologist. But when you're dealing with telepaths, magic, and bigfoots (Bigfeet?), you might need those crackpots. That, however, was the easy part of his job.
"Maintain employee morale." How the fuck was he supposed to do that? What do you expect morale to be like when a 15% casualty rate is a good thing? How can you expect people to be happy at their jobs when picking up a spoon could snap your spine like a twig?
It didn't help that Site 13 had one of the highest containment breach rates, nor did it help that they stored some of the craziest

SCP-XXXX |
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: A single document containing SCP-XXXX is to be kept in the high security vault at Site-██. No testing is permitted without O5 clearance.
Due to frequent spontaneous instances of XXXX, any suspected infection must be reported to curb its spread. Suspected individuals are to be immediately terminated.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a linguistic memetic contagion. In the initial stages of infection, subjected will attempt to spread XXXX to as many people as possible, beginning with close acquaintances.
As the infection spreads further, subjects will begin to exhibit paranoia directed as perceived authority figures. In ██% of cases, they resort to violent measures, often involving large, organized groups of infected individuals. These groups will often rally around certain terms and phrases such as "liberation", "tyranny", and [DATA EXPUNGED].
Due to SCP-XXXX's threat to the stability of world governments, any infection must be swiftly and effectively stopped.
Interrogation Log
Interrogated: Agent A███████ (referred to as A), caught attempting to plant an explosive inside SCP-████'s containment unit.
Interrogator: Agent S████ (referred to as S)
S: Hey A███████.
A: S████? I wasn't expecting you to be the one they sent.
S: We're short on personnel, like always. So what's this about trying to set free [DATA EXPUNGED]? Do you know what it could have done?
A: You don't understand.
S: You're right- I don't. Help me understand.
A: No, they'll just "expunge" you too.
S: I didn't try to free a monstrosity on the world.
A: Look, it's dangerous, but still containable with some serious effort. That was the point. Something big enough that the Foundation couldn't easily cover up, but minimizing the collateral damage.
S: You want to breach the Veil Protocol? Why?
A: Because a secret will always fester in the darkness.
S: You're not making any sense. Why don't you start at the beginning?
A: Alright. You know SCP-XXXX?
S: Dammit, don't tell me you're- Guards!
A: No! Wait! I was among the crew transporting it from the old storage facility to the new one when I happened to catch a glance at that document. It was [DATA EXPUNGED]. It's all a lie. They use it as an excuse to [DATA EXPUNGED]
S: [EXPLETIVES DELETED]…you're serious. We gotta do something about this.
Both Agent A███████ and Agent S████ were terminated upon discovery of XXXX infection.

SCP-XXXX |
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: When not being tested, SCP-XXXX is to be locked in a standard pistol case and placed in weapons storage of Site-██. Access is restricted to approved personnel
Description: SCP-XXXX is a plastic gun of approximately the same dimensions and design of a standard Beretta 92F. When tested for durability, the material behaved like non-anomalous plastic.
When the trigger is pulled, no perceptible effects occur. SCP-XXXX's anomolous effects occur when a subject (hereafter referred to SCP-XXX-A) perceives SCP-XXXX's trigger being pulled. All instances of SCP-XXXX-A believe that SCP-XXXX has fired a real bullet and will react accordingly.
Furthermore, if an instance of SCP-XXXX-A believes that they have been shot by SCP-XXXX, they will experience physiological symptoms as consistent as possible with the injury they believe to have received, despite not having any physical injury. The extent, type, and specificity of these symptoms are dependant on SCP-XXXX-A's knowledge of anatomy, medicine, and gunshot wounds. This effect can extend to multiple instances of SCP-XXXX-A simultaneously. See experimentation log for details.
If an instance of SCP-XXXX-A believes the wound is fatal, they will die in a manner consistent with the injury. Upon dying, cardiac, respiratory, and neuronal activity completely cease. Resuscitation has proven to be ineffective.
If SCP-XXXX-A does not believe the wound to be fatal, they may "recover" from the injury. This recovery period is consistent with their knowledge of medicine. Instances of SCP-XXXX-A believing that they have suffered permanent injury from SCP-XXXX will live the remainder of their lives with those symptoms. Class A amnesics seem to be effective as counteracting the effects of SCP-XXXX.
Addendum XXXX-1: Experiment Log (Abridged)
Note: D-Class given special exemption from monthly termination for long term observation
Date: ██/██/████
Subject: Wooden board measuring 5'x5'x2"
Procedure: XXXX fired into the center of the board, point blank range
Results: No apparent effects.
Date: ██/██/████
Subject: Domestic Dog (Canis lupus familiaris), mixed breed, weighing approximately 15kg
Procedure: XXXX fired at the head of the subject, point blank range
Results: No apparent effects.
Date: ██/██/████
Subject: D-5741. No prior experience with firearms. Very rudimentary knowledge of anatomy.
Procedure: XXXX fired at subject's hand
Results: Subject screamed in pain. No visible signs of injury existed. CAT, X-ray, and MRI scans all showed no abnormalities. Neuroimaging showed extreme activity in the pain centers of the brain. Subject was unable to use hand without significant discomfort. Effect dissipated over the course of 2 months.
Date: ██/██/████
Subject: D-5741
Procedure: XXXX fired at femoral artery
Results: Subject experienced pain. Again, no signs of injury. Subject was unable to walk using the affected leg. Effect dissipated over the course of 3 months.
Note: Such an injury to the femoral artery almost always results in massive blood loss, often leading to death. There were no signs of blood loss in the patient.
Date: ██/██/████
Subject: D-1896. Prior medical training.
Procedure: XXXX fired at femoral artery
Results: Subject experienced pain. No signs of injury present. Subject grew extremely concerned about an injury to the femoral artery. Within 20 sec, Subject's skin became pale. At 40 sec, the subject's blood pressure began to drop significantly. At 1 minute, his heart and breathing rate increased until subject became unconscious at 1:30. Subject remained unconscious until expiring at 4 minutes. MRI scans during this time showed severe blood vessel constriction of the femoral artery consistent with major trauma. Autopsy showed signs of hypovolemia despite no blood loss.
Date: ██/██/████
Subject: D-9845. Some knowledge of medical science
Procedure: Subject was blindfolded and given noise canceling headphones before XXXX is shot at her hand
Results: No apparent effect
Date: ██/██/████
Subject: D-9845.
Procedure: XXXX is fired into subject's knee.
Results: Subject experienced extreme pain. Subject then expressed concerns about permanent debilitation from the injury. While some symptoms of injury dissipated as expected over the course of a few months, subject walked with a limp and complained about a persistent pain that did not improve over the course of the testing period of █ months. At the end of the testing period, subject was given a large dose of class-a amnestics, effectively wiping out the memory of the XXXX testing. After treatment, subject no longer experienced pain nor walked with a limp
