++ Special Containment Procedures
SCP-#### and SCP-####-1 are to be contained within a modified humanoid containment suite at Site-19, furnished to resemble a standard hotel room. No recording or imaging devices capable of visual capture (including cameras, webcams, AR/VR headsets, optical sensors, or reflective décor) are permitted within the containment area.
SCP-#### must remain stored within an opaque, non-transparent case when not in the possession of SCP-####-1 ("Phobos"). Only SCP-####-1 is authorized to handle SCP-#### under any circumstance. Communication with SCP-####-1 is to be conducted exclusively via audio intercom or written correspondence.
Personnel entering the chamber must wear opaque visors or blindfolds and are to remain under the guidance of SCP-####-1 at all times. Any attempt to visually observe SCP-#### directly or via electronic/indirect means is strictly forbidden.
++ Description
SCP-#### is a pair of eyeglasses described by SCP-####-1 as having rectangular lenses and a lightweight metallic frame. The exact material composition, color, and optical properties remain unknown due to the object's cognitohazardous effects.
Direct **visual** exposure to SCP-####, or any visual reproduction (photography, live video, reflection, etc.), triggers an immediate cognitohazardous event in the observer. Affected subjects spontaneously acquire a random piece of information; these data are typically classified, anomalous, or existentially hazardous. Secondary effects include acute psychological collapse, followed by death through self-termination, cardiac arrest, or other fatal reactions within minutes of exposure.
*Documented examples include:*
- Subject learned the visual appearance of SCP-096.
- Subject acquired awareness of SCP-343's nature and expired shortly thereafter, repeating the phrase "Ignorance is bliss."
- One D-class subject reportedly comprehended the totality of human extinction events predicted by SCP-████ (see Incident Log ####-E).
The cognitohazard is **medium-agnostic** and cannot be mitigated by distance, filtering, or indirect viewing methods.
SCP-####-1 ("Phobos") is a human male of indeterminate age who voluntarily delivered SCP-#### to Foundation custody. Phobos demonstrated prior awareness of Foundation operations, a breach attributed to secondary exposure to SCP-####. Despite exposure, SCP-####-1 appears immune to the cognitohazard and reports normal perception of the object. SCP-####-1 refers to SCP-#### as *"Veritas"* and asserts that "Ignorance is bliss; knowledge is deadly."

++ Addendum ####-1 — Initial Discovery
On ██/██/20██, an unidentified civilian entered Site-██ via a restricted access corridor while carrying SCP-#### within a sealed fabric pouch. The individual requested to speak with "MTF-████" and repeatedly warned staff that "the truth kills." Following containment, the individual identified himself as "Phobos" and was designated SCP-####-1.
++ Addendum ####-2 — Interview Excerpt
**Interviewer:** Dr. ██████
**Interviewed:** SCP-####-1 ("Phobos")
**<Begin Log>**
**Dr. ██████:** You've said before that "the truth kills." What do you mean by that?
**SCP-####-1:** You do not want to know.
**Dr. ██████:** And why is that?
**SCP-####-1:** Because I witnessed everything. ████ created this… thing, and threw it aside. Called it a failure.[[footnote]]Identity under investigation; context suggests a discarded anomalous research prototype with memetic properties.[[/footnote]]
**Dr. ██████:** Why bring it to us?
**SCP-####-1:** Because you people already live with nightmares. Maybe you'll know how to lock this one up.
**Dr. ██████:** Let me see it.
**SCP-####-1:** If you insist. Trust me, you'll soon regret it.
**Dr. ██████:** Interesti— *WHAT?! No, that can't be! The ████ ████████████████ ████ ████████ ████ ████ ██ ████████!!!*
**<End Log>**
**Closing Statement:**
Following exposure to SCP-####, Dr. ██████ was found deceased approximately four hours later in his office, having self-inflicted multiple stab wounds. SCP-####-1 returned SCP-#### to its case and stated, "Ignorance is bliss," before requesting isolation. Pending further research, SCP-#### remains classified as **Keter**.

**Test ####-T01:** *Tactile Characterization*
**Subject:** D-8119 (congenitally blind)
**Procedure:** Subject provided with cut-resistant gloves and instructed to handle SCP-#### within a light-sealed environment.
**Result:** No cognitohazard event observed. Subject reported "rectangular lenses" and a "thin, cool metal frame."
**Note:** A Foundation artist produced a sketch from the verbal description. No personnel permitted to view sketch without Level-4 approval and memetic safeguards (denied).
**Test ####-T02:** *Indirect Viewing via Sensor*
**Procedure:** Observation attempted with thermal camera directed toward SCP-#### from behind an opaque barrier.
**Result:** Remote operator experienced a fatal cognitohazard event after viewing the live thermal feed.
**Conclusion:** Hazard transmits through non-optical renderings once cognitively interpreted as a "view" of SCP-####.

++ Addendum ####-2 — Interview Excerpt
**Interviewer:** Dr. ██████
**Interviewed:** SCP-####-1 ("Phobos")
**<Begin Log>**
**Dr. ██████:** How did you enter this facility?
**SCP-####-1:** I'm... not sure. I just knew what to do.
**Dr. ██████:** You said that you have something to give to us?
**SCP-####-1:** Yes... it's a pair of glasses. When I first found it, it was in this case. I was curious and picked it up.
**Dr. ██████:** What happened then?
**SCP-####-1:** ...
**Dr. ██████:** You've said before that “the truth kills.” What do you mean by that?
**SCP-####-1:** You do not want to know.
**Dr. ██████:** And why is that?
**SCP-####-1:** Because I... I witnessed everything. ████ created this… thing, and threw it aside. Called it a failure.[[footnote]]Identity under investigation; context suggests a discarded anomalous research prototype with memetic properties.[[/footnote]]
**Dr. ██████:** Why bring it to us?
**SCP-####-1:** Because you people already live with nightmares. Maybe you'll know how to lock this one up.
**Dr. ██████:** That depends on its effects and how dangerous it is.
**SCP-####-1:** I could prove its effects.
**Dr. ██████:** Please don't pull it out of its ca— *WHAT?! No, that can’t be! The ████ ████████████████ ████ ████████ ████ ████ ██ ████████!!!*
**<End Log>**
**Closing Statement:**
Following exposure to SCP-####, Dr. ██████ was found administering amnestics to himself approximately four hours later in his office. SCP-####-1 returned SCP-#### to its case and stated, “Ignorance is bliss,” before requesting isolation. Until containment methods improve, SCP-#### will remain classified as **Euclid**.
++ Addendum ####-3 — Interview Excerpt
**Interviewer:** Dr. Markus
**Interviewed:** SCP-####-1 ("Phobos")
**<Begin Log>**
**Dr. Markus:** Why did you expose Dr. ██████ to the anomaly, knowing that it was dangerous?
**SCP-####-1:** He didn't believe me.
**Dr. Markus:** That doesn’t excuse your actions. Even you said that people could die from exposure.
**SCP-####-1:** Did he die?
**Dr. Markus:** That’s classified.
**SCP-####-1:** Is that why you took the glasses from me?
**Dr. Markus:** Of course. We cannot trust you. Especially after your actions.
**SCP-####-1:** I knew that, of course. But... I am not affected by the glasses now.
**Dr. Markus:** What do you mean?
**SCP-####-1:** I've looked at it more than once, after the first time.
**Dr. Markus:** You claim repeated exposure no longer affects you?
**SCP-####-1:** It doesn’t.
**<End Log>**
**Closing Statement:**
Following the interview, SCP-####-1 was placed in isolation, and SCP-#### was relocated to a separate containment vault. Testing involving SCP-####, SCP-####-1, and D-Class personnel has been scheduled.
++ Addendum ####-4 — Declassified Incident Log ####-E
**Summary:** On ██/██/20██, an unauthorized entry occurred at Site-19. The following audio was recovered from a damaged access terminal near the primary entrance corridor. Video data was rendered unusable due to SCP-####’s cognitohazardous interference. Transcript has been partially declassified.
**<Recovered Audio Transcript>**
**[00:00:03]** *Sound of door access panel engaging.*
**[00:00:05] Unknown Security Personnel:** Hey! Who are you?!
**[00:00:09] SCP-####-1:** Oh, hello.
**[00:00:13] Unknown Security Personnel:** Stay where you are! You’re trespassing on government property.
**[00:00:15]** *Clattering sound.*
**[00:00:18] Unknown Security Personnel:** What is this?
**[00:00:20] SCP-####-1:** Take a look. If you dare.
**[00:00:22]** *[Audio distortion increases.]*
**[00:00:24] Unknown Security Personnel:** Oh God... I can see it— I can see **everything—**
**[00:00:29]** *Screaming. Heavy static.*
**[00:00:34] SCP-####-1:** I told you. Ignorance is bliss.
**[00:00:40]** *Gunshots heard. Additional security shouting. Scuffling and sounds of struggle.*
**<End Transcript>**
**Post-Event Summary:**
Security footage from adjacent corridors confirmed SCP-####-1 remained stationary throughout the event. The affected guard (identity withheld) was later found deceased approximately twelve meters from the Site entrance; cause of death determined to be multiple bullet wounds to ███ █████ ████. Following this incident, SCP-####-1 was detained and transferred to a secure containment suite for questioning.

**Test ####-T01:** *Tactile Characterization*
**Subject:** D-8119 (congenitally blind)
**Procedure:** Subject provided with cut-resistant gloves and instructed to handle SCP-#### within a light-sealed environment.
**Result:** No cognitohazard event observed. Subject reported “rectangular lenses” and a “thin, cool metal frame.”
**Note:** A Foundation artist produced a sketch from the verbal description. No personnel permitted to view sketch without Level-4 approval and memetic safeguards (denied).
**Test ####-T02:** *Indirect Viewing via Sensor*
**Procedure:** Observation attempted with thermal camera directed toward SCP-#### from behind an opaque barrier.
**Result:** Remote operator experienced a fatal cognitohazard event after viewing the live thermal feed.
**Conclusion:** Hazard transmits through non-optical renderings once cognitively interpreted as a “view” of SCP-####.
**Test ####-T03:** *Attempt to Wear SCP-####*
**Procedure:** D-9426 was instructed to blindfold themselves prior to contact with SCP-####. They were told to put SCP-#### on and then remove the blindfold. Audio recording was the only permitted documentation source.
**Result:** D-9426 followed instructions, and upon removing the blindfold, exhibited severe convulsions and immediate unconsciousness. EEG readings indicated high-frequency desynchronization across all cortical regions. Upon regaining consciousness, D-9426 displayed an altered personality and attacked nearby researchers, stating: “Ignorance is bliss. You have been warned.”
**Conclusion:** Subject terminated. All further testing postponed indefinitely.
