SCP-XXXX in containment.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a small, airtight box located at Storage Sector-03 and is not to be used by any personnel unless authorized by two personnel of Level 3 clearance or higher.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a rubber bathing toy in the shape and coloration of a cartoon-like swan. SCP-XXXX is black around the tips of the toy's wings and is mainly covered in a white hue. SCP-XXXX's beak has a small hole used for expelling liquids and has orange coloration.

SCP-XXXX's primary anomalous property is activated when a distressed individual comes in contact with it. When touched, SCP-XXXX will cause neurochemical changes that block large amounts of serotonin and endorphins, causing the subject (hereby known as SCP-XXXX-1) to feel an overwhelming sadness. Such sadness causes immediate crying and sobbing. SCP-XXXX-1 will continue this for approximately 3-10 minutes, depending on the type of grief the subject was experiencing. Whether it be as severe as losing a loved one, or as negligible as losing a large sum of capital.

The amount of tears lost by SCP-XXXX-1 is enough to fill up to 2 liters. The exact amount of tears appears to correlate with the intensity of the cause of the original grief. After approximately 15 minutes, the tears slowly dissipate, even if the surface cried upon has no noticeable holes. When inspected, no tears remain upon the surface, but, if SCP-XXXX is squeezed, SCP-XXXX-1's tears will be ejected from the beak. How SCP-XXXX is able to hold up to 2 liters of liquid is unknown, as it only has a volume of approximately 1-2 cups. Once the subject nears the end of SCP-XXXX's initial effects, they have often reported feeling happier and fulfilled. When inquired about the situation that caused them grief, they seem to have "let it go". No longer feeling as strongly stressed, dejected, or disappointed about the event that caused the original distress. (See Recorded Interview Log 035-36)

When SCP-XXXX-1 enters the state of mental contentment, the brain releases large doses of dopamine . It is thought that SCP-XXXX has an electromagnetic field around it that intercepts neural electricity responsible for serotonin and dopamine, however, testing has not yet proved this theory.

[D-7322 is quiet for several moments] Dr. Glader: "D-73-" [Dr. Glader is cut off by D-7322] D-7322: "What?" Dr. Glader: "Please answer the question." [D-7322 does not respond for 7 seconds] D-7322: "I'm feeling fine. If a little annoyed." Dr. Glader: "Thank you, now, can you please describe how you felt after you [REDACTED] your children?" [D-7322 gives Dr. Glader a blank expression] D-7322: "Regretful."



Dr. Glader: "Can you please elaborate?" D-7322: "What the fuck do you want me to say? It's done. It's over. Can I just get sent back to my cell?" [D-7322 is visibly agitated] Dr. Glader: "Okay, okay. Relax, we're just going to do a test today, then you can return to your cell." D-7322: "Fine, but make it quick." <End Log>

D-7322: "I feel amazing!" [Dr. Glader gestured for D-7322 to continue] D-7322: "Well, when I was instructed to touch the toy, I was confused, but I've seen weirder here. Anyway, I walked over and touched it. Then I felt this… this crushing sadness. Like my whole world had just crumbled right in front of me. It's nothing you've ever experienced, I guarantee it. But after it was all done, I felt free. Complete. Better than I ever have in my life." Dr. Glader: "I see, what do you think of your crime? When you [REDACTED]?" D-7322: "Oh, that. It's not worth feeling guilty over. It's done and over with, I still have my whole life ahead of me! Who knows what's in store?" Dr. Glader: "Right. Thank you D-7322 for your time, you may return to your cell." <End Log> Closing Statement: D-7322 reportedly had a more positive outlook on life and continued to speak more about her future. SCP-XXXX should continue to be studied upon to find out more about this object's anomalous properties. ~Dr. Glader

Addendum 01: After additional testing with SCP-XXXX's capabilities, it appears that the dopamine in the brain released when first encountering SCP-XXXX never recedes. Causing the SCP-XXXX-1 subject to never observe any other emotion than happiness. Even when faced with extreme pain or mental anguish, SCP-XXXX-1 instances remain the same, happy persona.

In one case, a group of 7 SCP-XXXX-1 was in a recording room, speaking in regards to their experiences. Nearby researchers were taking notes, when an unexpected containment breach of SCP-████ prompted the researchers to hastily exit the room, following standard containment breach protocol. The group of SCP-XXXX-1 did not attempt to depart from the room and proceeded to talk normally. When SCP-████ entered the room, the SCP-XXXX-1 instances did not attempt to leave and continued conversing. 3 SCP-XXXX-1 subjects were violently killed by SCP-████, but no SCP-XXXX-1 subjects visibly exhibited pain or displeasure.

SCP-████ was contained before it could harm any other instances of SCP-XXXX-1. Further testing of the possibilities of SCP-XXXX properties was approved by the O5 council.
