SCP-1397-2, 1994
Item #: SCP-1397
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-1397-2 detection and liquidation interactions are to be maintained by MTF Eta-10's forces.
Description: SCP-1397 — unknown creature that poses a cognitohazard. Its observable appearance looks like a earthworm tail section (with specific segmentation) of a pale pink color with a size of adult's head. It also contains clitellum, specific for earthworms, and single, big, wide open human eye with signs of glaucoma.
SCP-1397 only appears from SCP-1397-2 and also cause the creation of the latter, if observed by someone. This way, effect is interdependent, and starts off from some unknown "zero case". SCP-1397-2 — any human, that ever observed SCP-1397 by one of these ways:
- in any crowded place, in which SCP-1397-2, and thereafter SCP-1397 can appear;
- on the internet in any website or local digital data storage with SCP-1397-2 or SCP-1397 photos, even if image display function is disabled or impossible at all. Remarkable is the fact that photo of human that observed SCP-1397 that way will appear on random website or local storage (even if subject never made any photo): at the first time it will be free of any defects, but when subject themselves will pass through all stages of metamorphosis (see below), it will change according to this; on this picture, in random periods of time, SCP-1397 can appear, continuing cognitive infection. According to MTF Eta-10's data, effect don't spread on the images of SCP-1397-2 that already converted, because they're already separated from the original interdependent chain;

After subject's observation of SCP-1397, they start to suffer from irreversible mental disorders, that happen in 3 stages:
- the emergence of dysmorphophobic ideas about the inferiority of one's own face;
- a period of intense nightmares, that contents an act of long-term observation of one's own face from the side, that ends with "something frightening", not having objectivity at the same time, that makes you immediately wake up.
- visceral hallucinations, including objective depiction of a cavity inside one's head.
Immediately after last stage's end, big, black circle-like area appears in the subject's head region, forcing a subject's face to bend around it (similar to gravitational lensing effect. See image). That circle looks two-dimensional from any perspective: apparently local space's metrics itself changes. From that area SCP-1397 appears, and then, after short period of time, disappears. It's unknown if SCP-1397 can appear in multiple SCP-1397-2 at the same time.
After transformation SCP-1397-2 loses any psychological depth or personality in it's behavior, along with any biological needs. Subjects aimlessly roam in areas that are familiar for them. After a long time all SCP-1397-2 instances strive to encounter each other and start interacting: they contact each other with black areas in their head, after what those areas start to merge and become bigger; faces of SCP-1397-2 bend around newly formed space, creating single enclosed ring. Purposes and consequences of those interactions are currently unknown, (because of MTF Eta-10 preventing them from happening) but they have a strong potential of K-class scenario.
