Test 01 - 01/24/1983

Subject: D-39091 - Subject is an Asian female, age 23. Subject has a history of petty theft and drug abuse.

Procedure: Subject was shown SCP-2737's container.

Results: No change in personality.

Analysis: The anomaly appears to be rooted with the contents of the jar, not the jar itself.

Test 02 - 01/25/1983

Subject: D-39091

Procedure: Subject requested to look inside SCP-2737's container.

Results: Subject complied; states that SCP-2737 appears to be "just a dead fish". Approximately 5 minutes later, subject begins to weep. Subject is asked a series of questions in order to gauge possible changes in personality. Subject is upset with a "lack of time" and claims they have squandered their youth. Subject displays increasing anxiety on the subject of death, despite their young age and the lack of death related questions asked.

Analysis: The dead lamprey is most certainly the vector of the cognitohazard. More extensive research is required. The jar is entirely non-anomalous.

Test 03 - 01/27/1983

Subject: D-39211

Procedure: Subject is given a piece of paper with the sentence "The lamprey is dead" written upon it. Writer is aware of SCP-2737.

Results: Subject initially appears confused but proceeds to weep. Subject is asked what they are currently thinking about. Subject describes the loss of their father at a young age and how they were never properly mourned.

Analysis: SCP-2737 is proven to be both a cognitohazard and memetic.

Test 04 - 01/28/1983

Subject: D-39214

Procedure: Subject is given a piece of paper with the sentence "The lamprey is dead" written upon it. Writer is unaware of SCP-2737.

Results: Subject fails to display an anomalous reaction.

Analysis: The reference to SCP-2737 must be intentional to trigger a memetic effect.

Superfluous data omitted for the sake of brevity. All D-class subjects display similar changes in personality. Further experiments suggest these changes can be repressed, possibly reversed, through the use of amnestics.

Test 32 - 03/19/1983

Subject: D-39320 - Subject is a Caucasian female, age 44. Subject had been convicted of homicide.

Procedure: Subject is exposed to SCP-2737.

Results: Subject began to weep. Subject is asked a series of questions in order to gauge possible changes in personality.

Analysis: Subject displays unusual insights on issues related to developed symptoms. See interview log for further details.

Interviewed: D-39320 Interviewer: Dr. Calixto Narváez Foreword: Subject is to be administered an ink blot test; one had been performed prior to exposure to SCP-2737, the results not unusual, if somewhat suggestive of a lack of creativity.



<Begin Log> Dr. Narváez: What do you see? [holding an ink blot card] D-39320: A corpse. Dr. Narváez: Again. [holding a second ink blot card] D-39320: Their face. Dr. Nelson: Whose face do you see? D-39320: It hurts to look. [closes eyes] And I still see them. I feel the knife enter. It's cold. I remember holding the hilt. I never knew how cold it was on the other side. Dr. Narváez: You were convicted of homicide. Was this your victim? D-39320: Yeah. Don't know why I did it. Felt right at the time. Felt justified. But it's worse than that. Death is ugly. I don't remember it being this ugly. I see all of 'em. I see ma and pa. My sister Jill. They're all dead. I used to be glad they got a clean death but there ain't such thing. Can't go back to fix things. Can't make it right. I shoulda made it better for 'em. Ease that pain. Make 'em proud. Dr. Narváez: No one lives forever. Everyone dies eventually. D-39320: It ain't right. [weeps] I felt nothing then. Couldn't see 'em. Not like now. Dr. Narváez: Couldn't see? How do you mean? D-39320: Take a walk anywhere. Bound to step on some bugs along the way. Didn't kill 'em outta hate. Just never saw 'em. Never cared to look. Yeah. Was careless. Broke too many hearts. Ya think I got time? Dr. Narváez: Time for what? D-39320: Things fall apart. This time I wanna pick up the pieces. Got a brother in Arizona. Haven't spoken in nine years. Ya think I could make things right? Dr. Narváez: I can't answer that. But there is always time. D-39320: No there ain't, doc. No there ain't.

Test 44 - 04/08/1983

Subject: Dr. Jing Yi

Procedure: Subject is exposed to SCP-2737. Testing for differences in symptoms for those aware of the anomaly and who have undergone anti-memetic training.

Results: Subject begins to cry but shows more restraint than others. Subject is asked a series of questions in order to gauge possible changes in personality.

Analysis: Symptoms manifest in a more serious manner. See interview log for further details.

Interviewed: Dr. Jing Yi Interviewer: Dr. Albert Cronenberg Foreword: Subject is to be administered an ink blot test; one had been performed prior to exposure to SCP-2737, results considered normal for Foundation personnel. Dr. Narváez was unable to conduct the experiment due to illness and Dr. Cronenberg served as a replacement.



<Begin Log> Dr. Cronenberg: Tell me what you see. [holding an ink blot card] Dr. Yi: I see a callous man. Dr. Cronenberg I… I see. Now, what… Dr. Yi: I feel them, you know. Every single one of them. Dr. Cronenberg: Please, specify… Dr. Yi: [interrupts] Just following orders, right? Just fresh materials to work with. How many did you tear open to find what you needed? Dr. Cronenberg: This interview is over. Refrain or I will call security. Dr. Yi: How many did you kill? You wretched fuck! You took them apart - piece by piece! What were you hoping to find through their suffering? I hope you die, Cronenberg - just like all your guinea pigs, I hope you get torn apart. <End Log> Closing Statement: Subject was administered amnestics and no longer recalls the test or his outburst. This remains the only instance where an SCP-2737-infected subject displayed aggression. Even subjects with a history of violence were normally pacified by SCP-2737 exposure.

Test 50 - 06/15/1983

Subject: Dr. Calixto Narváez

Procedure: Short term amnestics were applied prior to subject's exposure to SCP-2737. Subject has extensive anti-memetic training.

Results: Subject's lips begin to tremble. Ink blot cards, while not revealing obvious changes in personality, do result in a singular preoccupation with death.

Analysis: See interview log for further details.
