Item: SCP-4128-J

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4128-J should be secured in a standard Low Threat storage unit when not in use. Interaction is limited to four hours per day per researcher.

Description: SCP-4128-J is a hive mind collective consisting of 3 levothyroxin tablets and 3 cetirizine hydrochloride tablets. These are currently housed in a mundane pharmaceutical pill bottle.

When emptied onto a flat surface, SCP-4128-J is capable of rudimentary visual communication through assisted self-configuration. It displays both an understanding of basic human concepts and a persistent memory of previous communications.

More than eight hours' exposure per day may cause memetic effects mimicking mutual affection and interpersonal bonding. Whilst SCP-4128-J is non-hostile, these effects are cumulative and may result in staff divulging unsanitized, sensitive or otherwise inappropriate information. In such cases, standard re-assignment applies.

Test #15,321 (Unofficial, unscheduled. Full test protocols not applied).

Please Note: Procedure A consists of the researcher waiting five seconds, collecting up the SCP-4128-J instances, putting them into their container, shaking them, then emptying them out into a green receptacle.

Researcher Gwent: Don't give me the cold shoulder treatment. I didn't mean to be insensitive; I meant we're both locked up here. Sorry - I'm not myself. You may have already heard but I've been reassigned to other duties with immediate effect. They think we're getting too "pally."

Seeing how it's Christmas Day, and I'm here sitting in a cold white research chamber, whilst everyone else has gone home… maybe something festive? Maybe Santa?

Researcher Gwent: That makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. Well… I guess that's that. I only popped by to say a final farewell. I probably won't see you again, but I just want you to know it's been a privilege to get to know you. We've had some times together, haven't we? Goodbye, SCP-4128-J. Goodbye.

Researcher Gwent waits five seconds, collects up the SCP-4128-J instances and puts them back into their container. He appears to be distracted and in a state of sadness. He neglects to secure the container and instead places it onto a coaster. He then proceeds to exit the research chamber after glancing back at SCP-4128-J's container.

The following is picked up by motion-sensitive cameras: the chamber door closes and this causes the container to slip off the coaster. The contents spill into the green receptacle. See Final Communication.
