First ever SCP Proposal - Leo Byzalov

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within a 10 cm by 10 cm by 24 cm hermetically sealed glass box inside a standard secure storage locker, with a single guard watching the locker at all times. Only personnel given clearance from Dr. Albert may remove SCP-XXXX from its containment locker for testing purposes.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a pile of biological matter with a volume of approximately 2.2 cubic decimetres. It is primarily composed of approximately 85% of a single human brain, with the limbic system being the most intact. The rest of the mass consists of cancer-like growths, protruding from the main mass at random.

Despite SCP-XXXX's state, the hippocampus and associated structures are continuously functioning as they normally would within a typical human brain, despite lack of nutrients. All sensory inputs (which currently merely consist of electrical impulses sent through SCP-XXXX for testing) are recorded and stored as neural clusters within the protruding growths, which seemingly act as extra storage space for long-term memories. Notably, no signals seem to be sent to or from the remains of the pre-frontal lobe.

SCP-XXXX is additionally invulnerable to any and all physical damage. All attempts to destroy SCP-XXXX, or force it to cease functioning, have been met with failure. There is no known way to stop SCP-XXXX from continuing to function, or to destroy the memories stored by it.

SCP-XXXX was formerly the brain of Ms. █████ ████████, an assistant researcher for the Foundation. Its anomalous properties were originally attributed to Ms. ████████ herself, who was noted for her exceptional memory. Ms. ████████ first came to the attention of the Foundation following [DATA EXPUNGED], during which she was noted to have a strong resistance to standard Foundation amnesiacs. After rigorous testing she was established to possess a seemingly 'photographic' memory, capable of recalling the contents of a written page despite only glancing at it for 2 seconds. Ms. ████████ did not exhibit any other anomalous properties, and was later hired by the Foundation.

Ms. ████████ was originally assigned to SCP-055. She disappeared within a day, only to be found somewhere within Site-19 seven hours later. She was reassigned to [REDACTED], where she worked until on January ██, 201█. After inc[DATA EXPUNGED]ed their last supplies of Class-A amnesiacs on the remaining personnel, before being shot in the forehead. Cause of death was at first reported to be a long-range gunshot wound, but was later confirmed to be suicide. The true nature of SCP-XXXX was discovered during the autopsy.

Addendum: █████ may be dead, but her brain still contains Foundation secrets. We can't just throw it out, could you imagine what would happen if someone was able to extract information from it? -Dr. Albert
