Item: SCP-002-J
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-002-J are to be kept in Site 200's
mental health facilities and given proper treatment for symptoms including: anterograde
amnesia, retrograde amnesia, dementia, Alzheimer's, cerebral flatulence, insomnia, and tongue
sparsity. Testing of SCP-002-J is suspended indefinitely.
Description: SCP-002-J refers to individuals of varying age, sex, and ethnicity all suffering
from some manner of memory loss. Up until 20██, SCP-002-J instances were employed
by Foundation personnel as tools administered to civilians exposed to anomalies and/or who
have gained undue knowledge of Foundation activity as a means of preventing the leak
of classified information.
When employed properly, SCP-002-J instances between 4 and █,██4 swarm targeted individuals,
typically invading individuals' personal space and engaging them in a series of questions
to distract and befuddle the person(s) long enough for Foundation personnel to vacate
the area. Questions frequently asked have included "who are you?", "where am I?", "are
you alive?", "this isn't where I parked my car?", "where do whores go?", "you're not
Alan?", and "how am I trespassing?"
While proven effective for ██ years, instances of SCP-002-J began to inadvertently reveal
information regarding the Foundation to civilians. In many cases, SCP-002-J instances had gained
knowledge of several memetic SCPs and caused █ containment breaches as a result.
This event necessitated a mass-recall of all Foundation amnesiacs while a more effective
tool was developed. In the intervening period, personnel were authorized to use Agent-PBR,
Agent-1800, and Agent-MD20² to induce memory loss in civilian witnesses.
Attempts to discern how SCP-002-J gained knowledge of sensitive Foundation information were largely
unsuccessful. An interview is logged below.
