Anomalous Item Entry
Item #: SCP-030-J
Object Class: Uncontained
Special Containment Procedures
At this time, due to the widespread cultural impact of SCP-030-J, containment is considered
inadviseable.
As such, SCP-030-J is to be considered uncontained until further notice, with a possible change
to Euclid if the specific vector of infection can be quarantined.
As of the death of the carrier, SCP-030-J will be considered neutralized after the death
of all humans who witnessed SCP-030-J's infection vector prior to May 16, 1990.
Description
SCP-030-J is a specific combination of sounds, that causes a mild compulsory effect upon
subsequent hearings of the trigger phrase.
This compulsory effect is a call and response of several phrases, with no other significant
cognitive effects.
At this time, Foundation scientists are unsure if SCP-030-J is a memetic effect of the original
carrier, or a simple infohazard.
Data points to the former, as SCP-030-J infections have sharply declined since the death of the
original infection vector, PoI-2844.
SCP-030-J reached near-epidemic levels due to the actions of PoI-2844 during 1969.
All infected human subjects became carriers of SCP-030-J and spread the infection further.
Further infections from these carriers did not produce the same carrier effect.
It is projected SCP-030-J will be neutralized by 2090.
Foundation agents are still in the process of uncovering the original cause of SCP-030-J
within PoI-2844 with little success.
Attached Addenda Addendum 1: Interview Log, PoI-2844
Close Transcript The following interview was recorded in 1971
between Agent Joaqin Kasim, and PoI-2844.
It had come to Foundation attention that SCP-030-J was being spread deliberately by PoI-2844.
Due to the celebrity nature of PoI-2844, containment of PoI-2844 was considered untenable with
the Foundation level of technology and amnestics available at the time.
Agent Kasim: “So, you were aware that SCP-030-J was anomalous at the time you infected several
million people?"
PoI-2844: “I was, actually.
I don’t feel particularly bad either, it was hell for me before I did it.”
Agent Kasim: “What do you mean by that?”
PoI-2844: “So, it’s not a big deal for all of you, if I go—”
PoI-2844 speaks the trigger phrase.
Agent Kasim repeats the counter phrases and expresses mild annoyance.
Agent Kasim: “Please don’t do that again, I don’t appreciate being compelled.”
PoI-2844: “Sorry, I just find it funny.
Before, I would be muttering m-
Agent Kasim holds up a hand
PoI-2844: "Sorry.
The phrase, constantly.
I was going out of my gourd, I thought I was gonna end up in a padded room.
"
Agent Kasim: “So you decided to infect millions of people.”
PoI-2844: “Well, every time someone else gave back the response, I felt a little better.
It came out less and less.
I figured if you had a million or so people doing it, I’d get a little peace.”
Agent Kasim: “Okay, last question.
Did the TV show come before, or after SCP-030-J infected you?”
PoI-2844 chuckles
PoI-2844: “Before, actually.”
