(This is the first part of the story for my very unofficial SCP. It's both a love letter to the SCP foundation and a huge shitpost. If you're an actual member of the SCP site I just want you to know I apologize for nothing. I'm planning to add seven parts to this story. Also, I'm using redaction a lot in this opening because I'm going to unredact it all in the next few. I always liked redaction if it gets unredacted at some point. It helps to deepen the story. Enjoy.)
SCP - 696969
Object Class: Apollyon
Warning: SCP-696969 is determined to have powerful cognitohazardous effects. The act of reading this document may have severe and potentially lethal effects for the reader. If you begin to experience any of the following symptoms at any time during the reading of this document, you are to immediately report to site 69 staff for amnesthetization. If you experience [REDACTED] Report for termination immediately. Simply being aware of this document constitutes infection. Report for amnesthetization now. Continue only if in a secure bunker and authorized.
If you are not authorized, this document contains a mimetic kill agent. Do not read further.
Special Containment Procedures:
Any universe which is known to be contaminated by contact with SCP-696969 is to be [REDACTED] with no links to [REDACTED] to be permitted to remain in any capacity. Full cooperation is to be given with the GOC (Global Occult Coalition) for joint demolition work. No artifacts are to be preserved, no records are to be kept beyond a read-only version of this file, and all personnel known to have any degree of contact with SCP-696969 or any of its derivative contamination are to be given class IV amnestics until any record of this file is forgotten and it returns to sleep mode. All personnel that have spent any time in a special containment bunker are to undergo regular plastic surgery or other anomalous method of physical alteration to return to their previous appearance once a month. All personnel with any degree of exposure are to be isolated on a remote site with no contact with other personnel. Anyone they are in regular contact with noticing the physical enhancements they’ve received will become a vector for cognitohazardous effects.
Class IV Credentials: Welcome, Anti-Memetics division site director Clara M.
Anti-Mimetics Division Containment procedures: All research is to be conducted inside of sealed bunkers protected against any form of information leakage, and surrounded by no less than four layers of chaos quantum fluctuators. At exit of the secure facility all personnel are required to be amnesthetized. Orders are to be made inside a secure database which is fed by D-class into a detached and completely separate Oracle database to prevent any form of connection between orders and original data from escaping. All personnel carrying out orders related to SCP-696969 are to be fully unaware of their actions. If they become aware at any time, they must be amnesthetized, terminated, or risk a full XK-Class end of reality scenario. Once per month a senior foundation researcher is to be given temporary Anti-Mimetics division clearance equivalent to a site director along with skill-implanted mnestic training and sent into the containers. Subjects are to spend a maximum of six hours on the sixth day of June and nine hours on the ninth day of September within the container. Any deviation from this timeframe requires the use of amnestic gas and automatic expulsion from the bunker.
Description:
SCP-696969 describes a [REDACTED], hereafter referred to as its self described moniker of, [REDACTED]. Knowledge of [REDACTED] constitutes a cognitohazardous risk, as it opens the doors of perception to the listeners of the [REDACTED]. Those exposed will begin to hear whispers of indeterminate origin, always of a gender, orientation, and implied status that seem pleasing to the listener. For instance, a heterosexual male obsessed with status would hear someone of an upper class, lascivious voice. A heterosexual female longing for a rugged male companion may hear a working class, deep and masculine voice. In all cases the listener hears a voice pleasing to them individually. If you are reading this far in the document, you will hear the voices. PERSONNEL ARE ORDERED TO UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES LISTEN TO THE VOICES! Affected personnel may be encouraged to make edits to this file. This is not permitted and will be automatically deleted.

Voices have been described to ask the listener their desires, promise to fulfill them in great detail, and offer things such as eternal life, perfect health for all, great advancements in technology, government and an end to all reality ending SCP’s. The voices will target your personal fears, bringing up personally traumatic containment breaches, health issues, personal sexual cravings and more. They will know your secrets and every unfulfilled need you have. Only within this containment pod are you partially protected, and only for a thaumaturgically potent six hours and nine hours. Outside of this time frame you are already affected and must be amnesthetized.
It’s all true. We can give you eternal life and the best technology-

There is no known method to contain SCP-696969 other than the complete [REDACTED]. Given the infinite scope of the multiverse and the infinite scope of SCP-696969 no amount of finite destruction of individual connections can completely keep out [REDACTED]. Efforts are to be put towards creating a [REDACTED] in order to discourage further spread of the [REDACTED] beyond the cauterization line.
SCP-696969 infections have seven main phases:
1: Whisper (Lure)
[REDACTED]
Each phase is described in the following documents.
SCP-696969-Lure
Stage One: The initial stage of infection by SCP-696969 is characterized by any individuals that are aware of the cognitohazardous knowledge being contacted by voices, hereafter referred to as the “Lures”. Lures are capable of communicating with anyone that possesses any level of knowledge about the [REDACTED]. They will at all times attempt to arouse the listener in an attempt to lower their defenses.
Just let us in!

Any attempt to tell others about the threat of [REDACTED] only spreads the reach of the lures. Lures are able to see the souls of those aware of them, allowing them to anomalously read the history of the viewer. They are unable to see specific details, but are considered to be extremely intelligent and are capable of creating sexually arousing lures through their promises. Any acceptance of this offer at any time by any personnel aware of the existence of SCP-696969 will lead directly into a stage 2 infection.
It’s true. I can fulfill every desire you’ve ever had.

Document 1-A:
Interview with site staff. Interviewer: Dr. Alice Degrasse, Level 4 researcher at site 69. Subject: Dr. Kate Willing. The following is a transcript of the audio log.
Willing: Hello Mamn. Mmm. Here to debrief me on the multiversal research survey I take it?
Degrasse: Hello today Alice. You look chipper. That’s right. It can’t all be horrors, right?
Willing: Look doctor, I think we really messed up this time. I need an amnestic. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but… wow. Just… someone… can do that? Really?
Degrasse: Cognitohazard?
Willing: I really need that amnestic now. There’s a- no. I shouldn’t talk to you about it.
Degrasse: I understand, hop in the brain scanner and hopefully we’ll figure out what’s got in your head before anyone starts praising Cthulhu and force feeding us calimari. I’m going to put on some headphones until you’re done.
Degrasse then takes out and wears a standard set of sound-blocking headphones issued by the foundation. Alice is placed into the full body pod and is scanned.
Degrasse: Alright, the scan is done. Amnestic it is.
Dr. Degrasse pushes a small injectable vial into Dr. Willing’s arm.
Willing: Ow! I… what was I doing again? This is a lot to go through on my first day.
Degrasse: Get ahold of yourself Willing. This isn’t your first day, those were amnestics. Focus on me. Tell me who you are.
Willing: Yes… focus. Right. I’m… I’m a doctor. Studied multiversal theory, 28 years old, been with the foundation for fourteen years. I’ve got it back. I just can’t remember the last few hours.
Degrasse: Good. Looks like you ran into something bad out there. Just when I was getting optimistic too. Well the system scanned you and it looked like it wasn’t physically harmful. There don’t seem to be any lingering effects.
Willing: I can’t… I can’t remember what it was. Maybe it wasn’t that bad?
Degrasse: It sure seemed that bad. You seemed pretty insistent on getting that amnestic. You wouldn’t even tell me what kind of cognitohazard it was.
Willing: Doctor, this research is pretty important to us. Finding stable pillars of reality could be worth some sacrifices.
Degrasse: You want a D-Class?
Willing: I want a D-Class.
Degrasse: Alright, but full precautions are going to be taken. We’re on quarantine, the bots will be logging and reading the files, and Amnestics all round after every step of this. Am I understood?
Willing: Yes Mamn!
Degrasse: Alright, let’s set up Mindy, give her control of some doors and drones, give her the records and we’ll pop another forget-me shot.
Willing: I hate how much we have to use these. They fry your brain.
Degrasse: The safety of humanity is always the most important thing. Sometimes we have to make sacrifices for the greater good.
Mindy: Automated defense systems activated. Dispensing Mnestic gas.
Degrasse: Fuck, this is a lot to go through on my first day.
Willing: Tell me about it boss.
Degrasse: Who the fuck are you again?
Willing: I dunno, but you’re kinda cute. Are you single?
Degrasse: I don’t remember dating anyone.

Document 1-B:
The following is a transcript of an audiolog. The voices heard are the automated “Mindshield Mindy” Cognitohazardous AI guide made to direct D-Class, and Kaitlin Summers, a D-Class subject recruited after repeatedly being arrested for grand theft auto, designated D-6996
Mindy: This is an automated message. Please follow all automated messages to complete the test. All messages are automated by site-AI.
D-6996: Ahh shuddup, ya stupid machine. Fuck, the shit I do to keep out of jail…
Mindy: Please put on the ring on the table in front of you on any finger.
D-6996: What, you wanna marry me or somethin-whoa, what is this?
Mindy: The ring is an information reading device similar to a smart phone.
D-6996: Yo what the fuck? This has measurements like my bust size and arousal level. Is this for fucking real?
Mindy: Some tests may have physical or mental effects on subjects.
D-6996: I’m really startin’ to rethink this deal. Maybe prison wasn’t so bad.
Mindy: Proceed to the screen in the middle of the room, D-6996.
D-6996: Okay, yeah, what is this? Some kinda fuckin’ porn review? I- whoa.
Mindy: Please state what you are observing on the viewport.
D-6996: Uh… some kinda dancin’ lights? They’re real pretty, and they seem to be flying around this long pole kinda thing. Neat screensaver. I’m sure it’ll get a little boring but… uh…
Mindy: Please step away from the screen.
D-6996: …
Mindy: Please step away from the screen.
D-6996: H-huh? Uh, yeah. Sorry, those lights were just so… hypnotic. Can I go look at the screen again?
Mindy: Remain away from the screen. A desire to return is noted. You have ignored a critical number of prompts to step away from the screen. Anomalous mind altering effect confirmed. The viewport is now on lockdown. Return to your cell.
D-6996: Wait, wait! What about the screen? Can I see more? I want to see more!
Mindy: Return to your cell. If you refuse to comply armed personnel will sedate and detain you.
D-6996: Fine! Fine! Fuck, just my luck, I got a shitty robot that wouldn’t understand how fucking pretty and sensual those lights are!
Mindy: You will now be returned to your cell. Do not resist. Personnel cannot hear you.

Document 1-C:
The subject returned to her quarters and observed over the course of a day by the automated system. Although the subject was given a full eight hour night cycle in her cell, the subject was observed to sleep only four hours, spending the entire remainder of the time in her cell masturbating. Even when a person would normally be observed to be chafed or tired, the subject showed an anomalous level of sexual endurance. Readings from the Oracle Ring indicate that the subject remained at an extremely heightened level of arousal but was never seen to reach orgasm. Physical measurements show subjects' bust expanded by 2cm, hips widened by 4cm and subjects' facial features became lighter and finer in general.
The following is an automated interview conducted by Mindshield Mindy on D-6996. Doctors Willing and Degrasse are in another room getting a filtered report through Mindy, and are then able to use her to ask questions to the subject.
D-6996: Ahh fuck, fuck, fuck! I wanna cum, I wanna cum, come on I wanna cuuum! Please!
Mindy: D-6996, stop what you are doing.
D-6996: You don’t understand! I need to cum but I can’t cum! I just need! I need!
Mindy: Restrain yourself or restraint implants will be used.
D-6996: Implants? Aaah fuck! When did you implant me? That’s so fucked up but no, whatever, just listen, you don’t understand! I need to cum! You need to cum too! We all just desperately, desperately-
Mindy: Brain implant activated. Subject forcibly calmed via direct brain stimulation.
D-6996: Subject is mostly silent, giving mostly reflex driven moans and shivers, but is now mostly quiet.
Mindy: Sit straight, D-6996. Cease self-pleasure.
D-6996: Yes, I understand.
Mindy: Report why you were engaged in your prior activity.
D-6996: I hear voices.
Mindy: Do you currently hear the voices?
D-6996: Yes, but they don’t affect me as much now.
Mindy: Report on the voices.
D-6996: I keep hearing the voices of people I used to know. My ex-wife, my boyfriend, the crush I had back in college - everyone that ever turned me on. It was like they were right next to my ear whispering.
Mindy: What are the voices saying, D-6996?
D-6996: They’re whispering to me about times we used to fuck, or have sex. Then they’re giving me elaborate fantasies all designed to turn me on. They’re telling me they can share secrets of advanced technologies with us.
Mindy: Prove that these voices have factual information. Ask them to give us something useful.
D-6996: Hey, quiet down! I don’t understand all these science words you’re speaking here.
Subject slowly describes the formula for a more powerful Amnestic agent, whose contents have been redacted to prevent replication.
Mindy: D-6996, do the voices want anything from you?
D-6996: Yes. They want me to be turned on and horny. They don’t care how, if someone else was here I could fuck them. They just want me on the edge of orgasm, but they’re telling me not to do it.
Mindy: You obey these voices when they tell you not to cum?
D-6996: It’s really fucking hard, you know? The voices get you so horny you can’t help but, but they’re all just begging me not to cum at the same time.
Mindy: Why don’t they want you to cum?
D-6996: Because it’ll open the door.
Mindy: Why don’t they want you to open the door?
D-6996: Because they will give me a perfect servant, who will give me everything I’ve ever wanted. A horny angel that will do anything for me.
Mindy: You describe a pleasurable action. Why would you want to avoid getting this servant?
D-6996: Because it’ll open the door, I told you!
Mindy: Noted. Standby for Amnestic gas.
D-6996: What what? I uh… why am I so calm? What was I doing again? Fuck I’m horny.
