SCP-668

SCP-668 ("13" Chef's Knife") is a chef's knife that generates an "apathy field" around itself save for the user of the object.
==History==
===Origins===
The knife was crafted in the late 1930s or the early 1940s, though it remains unknown how it obtained its current properties. However, it was used in the murder of Kitty Genovese in New York City by Winston Moseley, in which 38 witnesses did not attempt to aid Genovese or call the police. This incident coined the term "bystander effect" among the non-anomalous population.Entry Page: 668
===Incident 668-A===
Eventually, the knife came into the possession of ████████ ███████, a serial killer and cannibal who then entered a local mall and began a massacre. The suspect killed 15 people and flensed their corpses. He was found by dispatched police officers in the process of consuming a 9-year-old boy at the local daycare. Due to the apathy field the knife emitted, the officers were unable to fire at the suspect or even flee. He killed every police officer that was dispatched, including embedded SCP Foundation operative Cynthia Wallis. Wallis' emergency transponder was triggered before her death, which allowed the Foundation to respond.
A contingent of MTF Pi-1 "City Slickers" was deployed, disguised as a counter-terrorist FBI unit, discovering the officers' remains defiled and hanging from the mall's third floor railing. Though the unit attempted to retreat once they found themselves affected by the field, broadcasting a Class 1 memetic attack alert to command, they were made immobile and were soon executed remotely via cranial detonators. Aerial bombardment was attempted, though the pilots found that they could not launch their payloads. Eventually, Dr. Charles Gears proposed to use Class D personnel affected by SCP-061.
Using three hypnotized Class D's as well as five regular Class D's to delay the suspect, he was successfully killed by a large gas explosion caused by charges and opened gas mains. His body was retrieved and placed in a box lined with SCP-148, while the knife was taken and designated as SCP-668.Incident 668-A (document)
===Under capture===
SCP-668 was discovered to be in terrible condition, with heavy rusting and pitting caused by blood. They were removed for aesthetic purposes, not altering the properties of the blade. Several tests were conducted on 668 involving Class D personnel, including one where twelve were placed in a room with one researcher volunteer, who killed them one-by-one.
==Alternate realities==
===Yesterday===
Dr. Sophia Light managed to obtain SCP-668, using it against Dr. Alto Clef near the Bloom under SCP-2000. As the effects rendered him powerless to stop her, she killed Clef, as he was the last name required for the Bloom to open.
==Anomalous properties==
Once an individual grasps SCP-668 with intent to cause harm, it immediately begins to broadcast a cognitive signal that makes the user become unwilling to use it and therefore negating their willingness to hurt those around them, whether attempting to defend themselves or not.
==Containment==
668 is currently contained in a safe deposit box at Site-19's High Value Item Storage Facility. It may only be removed by personnel with a security clearance level of 2 or higher. Use of 668 outside Site-19 requires the user to send a Form-668 Requested Course of Action to O5-11 and have an 24-hour timed explosive device attached to them before use in the field; they must be monitored by a Level 4 officer that ensures that the knife has returned to its storage before deactivation of the device.
