**Item #:** SCP-8518
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:**
SCP-8518 is non-physical and therefore has no special containment procedures, but all information regarding the nature SCP-8518 must be kept under surveillance due to its memetic attributes. This surveillance must consist of digital and analog (human) observation due to the uncertainty of the SCP.
Personnel assigned access or experimentation with SCP-8518 must undergo Level 3 memetic resilience screening and debriefing *before* interaction with the SCP. The only exception to this is D-Class personnel assigned for observation.
**Description:**
SCP-8518 was first found in the core power-supply unit of Site-██ during a routine diagnostic of the energy stabilizing systems. Since the discovery, instances have appeared at Sites ██, ██, ███, and ██. Concurrent instances have never occurred at a single site.
Digital observations describe SCP-8518 as a neutro-magnetic force; a previously hypothetical fundamental force. When observed by personnel, SCP-8518 causes variable sensory experiences that include:
* Vivid, Dream-like visions
* Recollections of repressed and amnesticized memories
* 0-delay observations of random places in the universe
After exposure, personnel who have observed SCP-8518 radiate low-levels of the same neutro-magnetic force-designated SCP-8518α-from sites of high metabolism, including the liver, brain and pulmonary systems. People exposed to SCP-8518α tend to experience symptoms such as headache, nausea, and fatigue, but have no psychoactive effects.
Sentient attributes of SCP-8518 are currently uncertain, though experiences of SCP-8518 seems highly personalized. No two test subjects have reported the same manifestation during experimentation. However, experiences seem personalized and reflective of the subjects current emotional, cognitive, and physical state.
**Addendum 8518-1: Exposure Log**
**Subject:** D-97211
**Date:** ██/██/████
**Location:** Site-██
**Procedure:**
Subject was exposed to SCP-8518 without prior knowledge due to a breach in pre-exposure briefing protocol. Lead Researcher Dr. Harrow authorized continuation of the test. Observation equipment included two embedded D-Class observers and a standard array of analog/digital recording systems.
----
**<Begin Log>**
**Dr. Harrow:** D-97211, please take two large steps forward and describe what you see.
*Silence for 18 seconds as the subject approaches the stabilized SCP-8518 instance.*
**D-97211:** It's bright... I can't see—wait. There's something. I see a room, like a hospital room, but it's empty. It feels familiar.
**Dr. Harrow:** Do you recognize the room?
**D-97211:** Y-Yes... this is wher—NO! That’s not what happened! I didn’t do that!
*Subject's pulse rate spikes to 162 BPM.*
**Dr. Harrow:** What are you seeing?
*D-97211 abruptly sprints forward and collides with the chamber wall. Movements are erratic and aggressive. Adrenal analysis suggests onset of a fight-or-flight episode.*
**Dr. Harrow:** End the session. Cut feed. Pull him.
**<End Log>**
----
**Post-Exposure Notes:**
Within 36 hours, Subject D-97211 presented acute symptoms consistent with high-level neutro-magnetic exposure. Severity is believed to correlate with emotional volatility at time of interaction, suggesting psychological state may amplify SCP-8518's effects.
**Recommendation:**
All future exposure sessions must include full Level 3 psychological screening and structured briefing prior to observation.

**Addendum 8518-2: Post-Amnestic Exposure Log**
**Subject:** D-11438 (formerly Research Assistant ████ ███████)
**Date:** ██/██/████
**Location:** Site-███
**Background:**
D-11438 was formerly classified as Research Assistant ████ ███████, reassigned to D-Class following a Level-4 amnestic regimen after the SCP-████ containment incident. No memory of Foundation affiliation or previous assignment remained at reassignment.
Following exposure to SCP-8518, subject entered a prolonged catatonic state. Approximately 47 minutes post-exposure, an unprompted verbal episode was recorded via analog surveillance.
----
**<Begin Transcript>**
**D-11438:** (softly) My name is ███████. I work for Dr. Harrow. I am ██ years old. I was brought here from prison in ███████ City. I had █████████████████████.
**Dr. Harrow:** Can you hear me? D-11438, what else do you remember?
*Subject does not respond to external stimuli or acknowledge Dr. Harrow’s presence.*
**D-11438:** SCP... ██... ██...
**Dr. Harrow:** That’s the one that breached—he shouldn't remember that. We wiped it. Get him another round of amnestics. Now.
**<End Transcript>**
----
**Post-Exposure Analysis:**
Cognitive review suggests SCP-8518 is capable of reconstructing or bypassing amnestic suppression structures, with evidence of emergent neural pathways acting as checksum-like mechanisms to restore redacted memory sets. Emergency amnestic administration was ineffective, presumably due to SCP-8518's reinforcement of memory stability.
Subject transferred to indefinite neurocognitive containment.
**Note from Dr. Harrow:**
> We no longer control what's forgotten. Even brief exposures to SCP-8518 can permanently reverse amnestic effects. It doesn’t just bypass our tools — it renders them obsolete.
