However, if a subject over the age of fourteen uses SCP-1070, a 
different effect will occur. As the subject advances through 
SCP-1070's content, SCP-1070-B will begin asking more esoteric 
and incomprehensible questions, often using graphical errors and 
obfuscating graphics to prevent the subject from progressing. During 
this time, subjects will experience mental degradation. If SCP-1070 
is played longer than 1 hour, the subject will have reverted to the 
mental capacity of a prepubescent. 


Subjects appear to retain memories of their life prior to using 
SCP-1070, although their understanding of these memories is 
limited. They will make frequent references to being "broken" or 
"empty", and if given the opportunity will attempt to utilize SCP-1070 
in order to regain lost mental capacity. Testing has shown that 
SCP-1070 does not affect subjects after complete exposure, and will 
display no anomalous properties when utilized by these subjects. 


SCP-1070 was recovered from a rural home in Charleston, WV, 
USA. It came to the Foundation's attention after a prominent local 
businessman, Fred _ , was affected by SCP-1070. Investigation into 
Mr. 's home showed that SCP-1070 had been purchased as a gift 
for his son, who suffered from Down's Syndrome. Mr. —and his son 
were placed in the care of relatives, and SCP-1070 was classified as 
Safe. 


Addendum: The following is a transcript from video documentation 
of SCP-1070's effect. 


At 1:35 AM EST, D-2146 activates SCP-1070. After the 
splash screen, SCP-1070-B suddenly appears. 
SCP-1070-B: Hello there, Mel. 


D-2146: (Exclamation of surprise.) 
SCP-1070-B: Are you ready to play? 
D-2146: |... (pause) ...sure. 


SCP-1070-B: What is the... CAPITOL... city of... 
FRANCE? 


D-2146: ... Paris? 

SCP-1070-B: Your answer is... CORRECT. 
D-2146 expresses enthusiasm. 

SCP-1070-B: Can you... COUNT... to .... SEVEN? 


D-2146: Uh, sure. One, two, three, four... ah... five, 
six.... seven! 


SCP-1070-B: You are... CORRECT... AGAIN. 


SCP-1070-B begins displaying graphical errors, showing 
an image of itself with a bright red background. 


D-2146: Aah, fuck! 


SCP-1070-B: It's really okay. Don't be alarmed. You only 
have tomorrow to fear. 


D-2146: (voice drowned out by static) ...at? 


SCP-1070: What is tomorrow? We must face it? 
Yesterday was just another day. We live in the past. 


D-2146 remains silent. 
SCP-1070: Would we like to see you? 
D-1246: (static) ...en then? 


SCP-1070-B: Mom will be back. Everything will be A- 
Okay. 


D-1246: (Voice has taken a notable drop in pitch)... 
Mom? 


SCP-1070-B: We're back here. She's back. 


Following this, no further vocalizations for 2 hours, and testing was 
terminated.

SCP-1071: Improvement Test 


Item #: SCP-1071 
Classification: Safe Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-1071-1 
and -2 are to be kept in separate containment lockers in Site 's 
storage, with access allowed by level 3 or higher permission. The 
contents of all instances of SCP-1071-3 are to be cataloged and 
kept in the archives for future reference. It should be noted that it is 
possible that not all instances of SCP-1071 have been contained, 
and that some may still be in circulation. During the school year, 
SAT Testing should be monitored to detect possible instances of 
SCP-1071. 


Unless part of an experiment, all Test Takers who receive a "fail" 
result are to be put in isolation in order to prevent any repeats of 
Incident 1071-15. Test Takers with this result should be considered 
a minor cognitohazard, and any aggressive action taken against 
them should be reported to Dr. . If test taker is D Class, they 
may be exempt from retirement for no more than five (5) weeks in 
order to study effects. It should also be noted that any attempt at 
causing grievous bodily harm to a Test Taker will result in a 
reprimand, regardless of security clearance or position. 


Description: SCP-1071 is the collective name for the answer 
sheets (SCP-1071-1) and the test booklets (SCP-1071-2) from the 
SAT Reasoning Test. When not being used, SCP-1071-1 and -2 are 
ordinary SAT testing materials distributed from the year 20 -20 as 
of time of writing. Reading through them without meeting the 
activation criteria shows that the questions consist of several 
mathematics, literature, history, science, and language questions, as 
expected. There are currently instances of SCP-1071 in storage 
at Site 


SCP-1071 is activated when an instance of SCP-1071-1 and -2 are 


brought together, and the subject's name is inscribed upon the 
exterior of the booklets with a #2 pencil. Regardless of current 
educational status, the Test Taker will take SCP-1071 as if it were 
an actual SAT Reasoning Test. The subject can leave at any time, 
but doing so before completion of at least 60% of the test and/or 
expiration of the testing period (determined to be three hours and 
thirty minutes) results in a failing grade. Attempts to observe the 
contents of SCP-1071-1 and -2 during the duration of the test are 
futile; the paper appears to be a normal SAT Reasoning Test to 
outside observers. After the test is completed, however, no results 
can be viewed on the answer sheet; in addition, the Test Taker 
cannot remember the contents of SCP-1071, even under hypnosis. 
They will, however, consistently mention that the essay question 
was the easiest part of the test. 


Approximately three (3) weeks after completion of the test, an 
envelope (designated SCP-1071-3) will appear in the Test Taker's 
current place of residence, regardless of whether or not there is a 
mailbox, or even a mail delivery service, available. SCP-1071-3 will 
contain the results of SCP-1071; however, results will only have 
anomalous effects if opened by the addressee. It should be noted 
that the results refer to SCP-1071 as the "Improvement Test", rather 
than the SAT Reasoning Test. The results of this test are not 
consistent with the scoring system for the SAT; instead of being 
calculated in a numeric value up to 2400, the results instead take 
the form of a form letter. The form letter informs the the Test Taker 
of one of two results: they either scored proficiently on the test, 
which produces no results, or they have failed the test. 


Test Takers who receive the "fail" become the subject of passive- 
aggressive tendencies from other human beings. Subjects who have 
"failed" SCP-1071 have reported relationships failing, being fired 
from several consecutive jobs, having neighbors file petty 
complaints against them, and an increase in suspicion from law 
enforcement and government workers. Test Takers also report an 
increase in technology failing and incidents of animal 
aggressiveness. As time progresses, these tendencies become 
more and more harmful to the Test Taker, escalating from various 
verbal slurs to assault, and finally to sexual crimes and attempted 
murder. Death of the Test Taker immediately ends all aggressive 


actions, often leaving the tormentors feeling remorse for their 
actions. 


However, in recorded instances, SCP-1071-3 has come back 
without containing standard results; instead, it contains a slip of 
paper with the words "Congratulations. You've passed. We'll come 
to collect you soon," written on it. Within 24-48 hours of receiving 
this result, the Test Taker will experience feelings of euphoria and 
contentment. At 72 hours after receiving results, the Test Taker will 
disappear when unobserved. It should be noted that this is not a 
total disappearance; items such as clothing, jewelry, dental fillings, 
and tracking devices will be left behind. As such, the whereabouts of 
Test Takers who receive a "pass" result are currently unknown, but 
theories include [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Incident 1071-15: D-58921 was selected for exemption from 
retirement after receiving a "fail" result from SCP-1071 in order to 
study the detrimental effects. D-58921 has scored 92 (below 
average) on a standard IQ test and has a history of self-esteem 
issues, a factor which led to their imprisonment and eventually 
employment as D-Class. Four weeks after the result was received, 
D-58921 attempted to ingest rat poison collected from the D-Class 
kitchen. The following interview was conducted by Dr. , with 
Agent supervising. 


>Begin Log< 
Dr. : D-58921, why did you try to poison yourself? 


D-58921: (unintelligible) calling me now? | don't suppose 
| deserve a name; everyone here says as much. 


Dr. : What do you mean? 


D-58921: Ever since the test... people have been hating 
me... not my fault... test was too hard...(unintelligible) 
was it? | can't... 


Dr. : What was on the test, D-58921? 


D-58921: Questions, questions, questions... uh... I... | 


don't know... | can't remember... 


Dr. : What do you mean you don't know? Of course 
you don't know. You stupid fuck. Worthless fucking D- 
Class. 


D-58921: What the- why are you- oh geez. Not you. Not 
you, doc. | thought that you would... | thought... you 
wouldn't do this... 


Dr. : For the love of- listen, you little pile of shit. 
Either you man the fuck up, or you are going to get 
terminated on the spot! 


D-58921: (Sobbing) 


Dr. : Listen, you son of a bitch. I'm going to count to 
three. If you don't stop this baby-ass behavior, | am 
going to go out there, find your wife and kids, and [DATA 
EXPUNGED] 


D-58921: No! Please! You said you'd let me see them 
again if | took that test! 


Agent — : Shut the fuck up, you fucking pussy. That 
was a fucking lie. You're worthless! Your wife and kids 
hate you! You don't deserve to see them! You don't even 
deserve to live! 


D-58921: Stop it. Please. I'll do whatever you want, just 
stop! 


Agent ~ : Alright then. You know what | want from you? 
D-58921: What? I'll do anything, please, just- 

Agent _ :! want you to die, you [EXPUNGED] fuck! 
(Gunshot) 


Dr. : Jesus Christ! What the hell was that for?! 


Agent _ :1... don't know... he just... |... he said he... 
oh God... 
>End Log< 


Dr. and Agent — were reprimanded for their conduct during 
the interview. 


Note: | have no idea what the hell came over me. | just lost my 
temper! | didn't know what | was saying! Requesting to upgrade to 
Euclid immediately. -Dr. 


It seems as if we have all instances of SCP-1071 in containment, 
and they can all be safely kept in a storage locker. Nobody HAS to 
take SCP-1071. Request denied. -O5- . 


Incident 1071-17: Reports of anomalous SAT Reasoning Tests 
came in from the town of [REDACTED]. As it was possible that 
these were uncontained instances of SCP-1071, agents were 
dispatched to attempt to collect the tests. Agents failed in acquisition 
of over instances of SCP-1071-1 and -2, but were able to 
intercept all results. Items were confirmed as SCP-1071-3, and were 
made upof "proficient" results, "fail" results and "pass" results. 
All items were archived and are considered neutralized. It should be 
noted that [REDACTED] has one of the lowest performing school 
systems in the United States. Students were allowed to re-take a 
proper SAT Reasoning Test at a later date. 


If this doesn't qualify it for Euclid status, | don't know what does! It's 
popping up outside the facility, and it's targeting low-performing 
school systems! If the Agents hadn't gotten the results, we'd have a 
lot of messed-up kids on our hands right now. | am re-submitting my 
request to upgrade to Euclid, or at the very least, set up monitoring 
of schools participating in the SAT. -Dr. 


Both requests approved. Euclid status recognized, and all schools 
participating in the SAT test are to be monitored for reports of 
behavior consistent with SCP-1071 activation. -O5- .

SCP-1072: Memory-Replacing Disc 


Item #: SCP-1072 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Object is kept in a small case in 
the middle of a twenty (20) metre square room. The door into the 
room is located in the corner so as to be more than ten metres from 
the object. 


Only one person may be within ten metres of the object when the 
case is opened. Additional persons may be present outside the ten 
metre radius. 


Asof //_ ,the case is only to be opened remotely via a robotic 
manipulator installed in the room. Manual opening of the case is 
prohibited. 


Due to properties detailed in Addendum 1072-1, it is recommended 
that all subjects be selected from those with as little knowledge of 
the Foundation as possible. In particular, subjects assigned to 
SCP-1072 should ideally not have worked with any other SCPs. 


Description: SCP-1072 resembles a somewhat dull metal disc with 
no design stamped on it. It has no apparent unusual physical 
characteristics, although thermal imaging indicates that its surface 
temperature appears to rise by approximately one degree Celsius 
whenever any human subjects are within ten metres of the object. 
Neither the number of subjects nor their exact distance from the 
object affect the magnitude of this temperature increase. 


All subjects who approach within ten metres of the object report that 
they feel drawn to open the case. The compulsion appears to be 
weak, and can be resisted without great effort. Subjects describe the 
compulsion as a sense of curiosity about the contents of the case, 
regardless of whether they are already aware of the object's nature. 


The object is harmless on all counts outside of the ten metre radius, 
even if it is visible. 


Subjects are observed to display a strong compulsion to touch the 
object when the case is opened. Nearly all subjects report that they 
perceive it to have the allure of a polished disc of pure gold. Many 
subjects further describe an overpowering sense that taking the 
object would somehow improve their enjoyment of life. No variations 
in the object's appearance have ever been observed either outside 
the ten metre radius, or on photographs or video footage recorded at 
any distance from the object. 


Upon physically touching SCP-1072, total memory replacement 
(hereafter referred to as TMR) occurs instantaneously. This almost 
invariably results in extreme disorientation, and often severe mental 
breakdown. These effects are due to the subject having a 
completely different memory of their life up to touching the object. 
This causes them to be unable to reconcile their current situation 
with their memory of the previous moment. However, the new 
memory of said prior instant is still of touching the object. 


Time taken to recover from the disorientation is variable, ranging 
from seconds to hours. In this time the subject appears immune to 
the compulsion of touching the object. However, as soon as the 
disorientation wears off, subjects will generally make another 
attempt to touch it. These attempts require intervention from 
individuals located outside of the ten metre radius. the remote 
closing of the box via the installed robotic manipulator. If left 
uninterrupted, subjects will enter a loop of touching the object. Such 
loops continue until the cumulative psychological strain causes 
either permanent brain damage or [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Experiments have shown that consecutive TMR incidents 
sometimes produce replacement memories that have minor 
similarities to each other. For instance, the subjects of consecutive 
incidents may "remember" having been in the same region of a 
particular country for a portion of their life preceding touching the 
object. See Addendum 1072-1. 


Asof //_ ,the presence of more than one subject within the ten 
metre radius when the case is open is discouraged. Multiple
