SCP-012

Item #: SCP-012
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-012 is to be 
kept in a darkened room at all times. If the object is exposed to light 
or seen by personnel using a light frequency other than infrared, remove
 personnel for mental health screening and immediate physical. Object is
 to be encased in an iron-shielded box, suspended from the ceiling with a
 minimum clearance of 2.5 m (8 ft) from the floor, walls, and any 
openings.
Description: SCP-012 was retrieved by Archaeologist 
K.M. Sandoval during the excavation of a northern Italian tomb destroyed
 in a recent storm. The object, a piece of handwritten musical score 
entitled "On Mount Golgotha", part of a larger set of sheet music, 
appears to be incomplete. The red/black ink, first thought to be some 
form of berry or natural dye ink, was later found to be human blood from
 multiple subjects. The first personnel to locate the sheet (Site 19 
Special Salvage) had two (2) members descend into insanity, attempting 
to use their own blood to finish the composition, ultimately resulting 
in massive blood loss and internal trauma.
Following initial investigations, multiple test subjects were allowed
 access to the score. In every case, the subjects mutilated themselves 
in order to use their own blood to finish the piece, resulting in 
subsequent symptoms of psychosis and massive trauma. Those subjects who 
managed to finish a section of the piece immediately committed suicide, 
declaring the piece to be "impossible to complete". Attempts to perform 
the music have resulted in a disagreeable cacophony, with each 
instrumental part having no correlation or harmony with the other 
instruments.
