SCP-XXXX

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard storage locker at Site-19. Three Researchers must be present during any experiments utilizing both of SCP-XXXX’s components. All research regarding the addition of content to SCP-XXXX must be overseen by at least one Senior Researcher.

Description: SCP-XXXX is comprised of two components.

• SCP-XXXX-1: A diary entitled: “The Vile Nature of Humanity”. The diary contains seventeen entries, each by a different subject. All entries depict a traumatic event in the life of the subject written in ink from SCP-XXXX-2.

• SCP-XXXX-2: An ink pot filled with a fluid of unknown origin. DNA testing has shown the fluid to contain traces of blood from an as yet undetermined number of human beings as well as one or more unknown chemicals.

Once an entry has been written into SCP-XXXX-1 using SCP-XXXX-2 the subject will enter a trance like state, becoming completely unresponsive to outside stimuli. After several minutes the subject will awaken, at which point it is clear that SCP-XXXX has caused two anomalous effects on the subject.

• The subject suffers from psychogenic amnesia, removing all memory of the event entered into SCP-XXXX.

• The subject suffers from cryptomnesia, with the diary’s previous entry now filling the memory gap created by SCP-XXXX.

Date: ██ / ██ / ████:
Test: Subject D- 6981 instructed to write about a traumatic experience in their life using SCP-XXXX-2 on a standard note pad.
Result: No anomalous properties were displayed.

Date: ██ / ██ / ████:
Test: Subject D- 6981 instructed to add an entry into SCP-XXXX-1 using standard ink.
Result: No anomalous properties were displayed. SCP-XXXX-1 initially displayed no anomalous properties. When SCP-XXXX-1 was opened the next day for study, the entry was missing.

Date: ██ / ██ / ████:
Test: Subject D- 6981 instructed to write a fictitious traumatic experience into SCP-XXXX-1 using SCP-XXXX-2.
Result: No anomalous properties were displayed. SCP-XXXX-1 initially displayed no anomalous properties. When SCP-XXXX-1 was opened the next day for study, the entry was missing.

Date: ██ / ██ / ████:
Test: Subject D- 6981 instructed to repeat the previous test, following which the entry is to be monitored.
Result: After approx. one hour the entry begins to degrade, disappearing completely within minutes.

The note pad used for initial experiment is to be contained and the entry is to remain monitored for any signs of degradation. At this time no change has been reported.

+ Note from Senior Researcher

Am I the only one wondering what happened to the very first subject? Since there were no previous entries then is one to assume that nothing happened at all? Has the first entry been there all along? I am very curious as to the nature of this initial entry and of its source and would like to request that the interrogation of the cult’s leader be steered towards this topic.
