Request for Revision & Upgrade: SCP-3422

Submitted By: Jr. Researcher Callahan, ID #██████████

Date: 12/24/17



After the events of the incident on 12/23/17, I am currently under suspicion of tampering with classified documents using SCP-3422. From my own research into SCP-3422, I have come to two conclusions:



1) There is more than one instance of SCP-3422 out there.

2) We have a major security flaw in the Foundation.



Regarding Conclusion #1, the classified file that was changed in the hands of Dr. Andrews underwent the same changes that I have personally worked with when using SCP-3422. It can edit, reorganize, and delete documents. Since SCP-3422 was not being used at the time of the incident, one can only come to the conclusion that there is at least one more instance of SCP-3422 outside the walls of the Foundation.



Regarding Conclusion #2, if the file in his very hand was easily accessed by an enemy of the Foundation, what could happen to the thousands of personnel dossiers and security measures we have on file at Foundation sites all over? Our websites and digital files are under extremely strict security, but currently it is equivalent to installing alarms and bullet-proof glass on every window, while we still have only a screen doors installed.



Therefore, I recommend the following changes:



1) The Object Class of SCP-3422 to be upgraded to Euclid. Sure, it is currently in a box, but there are more out there not in a box, and information regarding it is currently uncontained and open to anyone who wants to breach our security.

2) Paper files regarding the Foundation are to be kept in lead-lined filing cabinets and rooms except when they are strictly needed for use.



Currently, my notes on the use of SCP-3422 are impounded. If it is decided that SCP-3422 can be used by the Foundation, they may be used to learn how to use it. I hope my research can be of use.
