Special Containment Procedures: All printed or finished physical documents contained within Site-94 are to be coated with a plastic sheet in order to protect them from SCP-6255-1's effects, while the writing of archives and files is solely allowed via terminal. Due to the environment SCP-6255 events happen in, SCP-6255 is currently self-contained.

Dr. Abbett's office prior to an SCP-6255 event.

Description: SCP-6255 is the designation given to a phenomenon that occurs within the boundaries of Site-94. SCP-6255 is believed to happen at least two times a week, although the estimated amount of weekly SCP-6255 events is currently unknown. SCP-6255's anomalous properties consist in the manifestation of an SCP-6255-1 instance in a random location within Site-94.
SCP-6255-1 instances take the form of porcelain coffee cups containing different liquids1 and a pair of legs underneath them. Following the execution of an SCP-6255 event, SCP-6255-1 instances will attempt to reach the closest personnel, incline, and pour their liquids onto their clothes or any object said personnel is carrying2 before displaying a crudely painted message on itself. This message may vary depending on the context of the event.
Once an SCP-6255-1 instance has completed its task, it will demanifest as soon as possible. As of the time of writing, 143 SCP-6255 events have been reported via surveillance since its appearance on 07/29/2021.
Addendum: The next addendum is a non-comprehensive log including several SCP-6255 events recorded during the month of September, 2021. All recordings were stored in Site-94's surveillance room.

Surveillance Log 6255.1: Infirmary

Event: During an analysis of Dr. Maya Warren's vitals following her death, an SCP-6255-1 instance spawned in Site-94's sickbay and poured its liquids (Fresh Water) on Dr. Albert White's phone, who was at the moment browsing images and Internet memes.
Result: The SCP-6255-1 instance displayed the message "RESPECT FOR THE DEAD." before jumping inside Dr. White's lab coat and demanifesting.

Surveillance Log 6255.2: Cafeteria

Event: Janitor Savannah Santos entered Site-94's cafeteria and ordered a cold coffee at the café's machine, but before she could grab a plastic cup, an SCP-6255-1 instance manifested, filled itself with hot coffee, and jumped onto Janitor Santos's suit.
Result: The SCP-6255-1 instance fell to the floor, and instead of shattering, it displayed the following message before demanifesting: "DISGUSTING".

Surveillance Log 6255.3: Workbench

Event: Junior Researcher Michaels was using a typewriter to work on the official classification of an anomaly that recently arrived at Site-94. Soon after, an SCP-6255-1 instance manifested in Dr. Michaels's lab coat and jumped onto the workbench, before pouring its liquids over the unfinished document.
Result: The SCP-6255-1 displayed the following message before nodding with its body and demanifesting: "PUT A BIT OF ART, JAMES". Researcher Michaels later stated that the file he was working with was excessively colloquial.

Discovery: SCP-6255 came to the Foundation's attention on 07/29/2021 soon after an SCP-6255-1 instance manifested in Junior Researcher Joseph Faraday's workbench and poured its liquids3 onto the document Researcher Faraday was working with. Following the SCP-6255 event, the SCP-6255-1 instance spawned a note from within its interior before demanifesting:

ROSES ARE RED
VIOLETS ARE BLUE
IF PAPER IS WHITE
THEN ART'S WHAT YOU CAN DO

ARE WE COOL YET?
