**Item #:** SCP-8159
**Object Class:** Apollyon
**Threat Level:** ██████

**WARNING: LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED**
**DO NOT PROCEED WITHOUT O5 AUTHORIZATION**
This document is classified under **Apollyon Protocols**. Unauthorized access is strictly forbidden and will be met with immediate disciplinary action.
By opening this file, you acknowledge the following:
* You have received **direct O5 clearance**
* You understand this document's contents may induce **progressive memory degradation and eventual death**
* You agree to report to on-site **psychiatric evaluation staff daily** for cognitive stability checks until cleared
If at any point during or after reading this file you experience confusion, identity disassociation, or memory loss, **cease all activity immediately** and contact the nearest Memetic Recovery Unit.

**Special Containment Procedures:**
> "You cannot contain a memory. Especially not one that knows your name." — O5-█
Containment of SCP-8159 is no longer possible. Attempts to isolate, relocate, or erase SCP-8159 from public knowledge have universally failed.
Any personnel exposed to **visuals**, **verbal references**, or **geospatial coordinates** relating to SCP-8159 must immediately report for cognitive hazard screening. If memory degradation exceeds **Threshold-3**, individual is to be quarantined and monitored until full identity erosion occurs. **Do not administer amnestics.**
Containment efforts are now focused on **stalling global cognitive saturation**.
All field personnel are advised:
**Do not think about the Town.**
**Do not speak of the Town.**
**Do not remember the Town.**
---
**Description:**
SCP-8159 is a non-fixed town-like environment that materializes in inconsistent locations. The entity functions as a **self-replicating cognitohazard** with **memetic parasitic traits**.
Any direct or indirect exposure results in SCP-8159 beginning to “**remember**” the subject.
This initiates **Inverse Cognitive Displacement**:
* The more SCP-8159 remembers *you*,
* The more **you forget yourself**.
This includes but is not limited to:
* Full legal name
* Facial recognition (self + others)
* Motor function and language
* Emotional memory
* Personal identity and existence
Once personal identity loss reaches 100%, the subject either:
* Becomes unresponsive and expires (neurological shutdown), **or**
* Vanishes entirely from Foundation records and memory networks
At the point of total mnemonic loss, a **duplicate instance** — SCP-8159-A — appears within the town.
---
**SCP-8159-A Instances:**
SCP-8159-A are **synthetic reconstructions** of consumed individuals. They:
* Mimic the physical body and voice of the subject
* Speak only fragments of remembered sentences
* Perform repetitive, often domestic routines (sweeping, waving, rocking in chairs)
* Possess no emotional response, but will stare at outsiders for extended periods
Population estimates exceed **█████** instances, many matching names from Foundation staff lost over the past two decades.
---
**SCP-8159-1:**
At the center of SCP-8159 lies a derelict residence, door always ajar. Inside sits SCP-8159-1, a **sentient humanoid** believed to be the first individual remembered by the town.
**Visual Appearance:**
* SCP-8159-1 changes appearance to reflect what *you have forgotten*
* To some, it appears as a lost parent
* To others, their own face — younger, distorted, or eyeless
**Behavioral Notes:**
* Refers to memories as “belongings”
* Speaks calmly in collective tense (“we”, “our”)
* Will always recognize the subject, even if the subject does not recognize themselves
**WARNING:**
**Engaging with SCP-8159-1 reduces memory retention rate by 300%.**
All who entered the house remained inside.
All who remained inside now live outside.
They wave at us through the windows.

**Addendum 8159.1 — Discovery Log**
\[\[div class="log"]]
**Date:** ██/██/████
**Recovered Audio – Agent H██████:**
"This town isn't empty. It’s just... quiet. They’re here, but they’re not *them* anymore."
*\[Heavy static]*
"Wait—why am I—what’s my name? Who am I holding the recorder for?"
**14 hours later:** Agent █████████ began repeating his own name out loud while writing it into the dirt. His name changed each time.
**19 hours later:** Subject collapsed.
**20 hours later:** SCP-8159-A instance appeared on street corner, smiling.

**Addendum 8159.2 — Incident Log Ω (“The Collapse Loop”)**
\[\[div class="log"]]
**Summary:** On ██/██/████, Foundation Command attempted a mass data wipe of all SCP-8159 references.
**Result:**
* Site-19 lost 12 researchers to complete mnemonic collapse
* Surveillance logs replaced by static-filled loops of personnel *entering the town repeatedly*
* Digital blueprints of containment sites replaced with maps of SCP-8159
**O5-8 Statement:**
"We tried to forget it.
But it remembered us.
It always does."

**Addendum 8159.3 — Interview Log 8159-1-A**
\[\[div class="log"]]
**Interviewed:** SCP-8159-1
**Interviewer:** Dr. H. Langford
**Date:** ██/██/████
**Location:** SCP-8159 - Central Structure
**<BEGIN LOG>**
**Dr. Langford:** Can you tell me your name?
**SCP-8159-1:** We had many. Would you like one you've forgotten?
**Dr. Langford:** No. I want your name.
**SCP-8159-1:** Yours is slipping. I like that one. We’ll keep it.
**Dr. Langford:** What is this place?
**SCP-8159-1:** This is your home. It was made of what you left behind. Don't worry — you will join us soon.
**Dr. Langford:** Join who?
**SCP-8159-1:** \[Pauses, smiles] Everyone who matters to you. We remember them better than you did.
**<END LOG>**
*Note:* Dr. Langford was found 36 minutes later standing motionless in the town square, unable to recall language, designation, or purpose. Subject expired during extraction. SCP-8159-A instance now visible through second-floor window of the central residence.

I can’t remember who I am anymore. But I keep dreaming I’m waving at someone I used to love.
Please... write your name down. Before it’s too late."

Excerpts of note from Revision 0:
Description:
SCP-8159 is a non-fixed town-like environment that materializes in inconsistent locations. The entity functions as a self-replicating cognitohazard with memetic parasitic traits.
Any direct or indirect exposure results in SCP-8159 beginning to “remember” the subject.
This initiates Inverse Cognitive Displacement:
- The more SCP-8159 remembers *you*,
- The more you forget yourself.
SCP-8159-A Instances:
SCP-8159-A are synthetic reconstructions of consumed individuals. They:
- Mimic the physical body and voice of the subject
- Speak only fragments of remembered sentences
- Perform repetitive, often domestic routines (sweeping, waving, rocking in chairs)
- Possess no emotional response, but will stare at outsiders for extended periods
Population estimates exceed █████ instances, many matching names from Foundation staff lost over the past two decades.
