Item #: SCP-CN-1616-J
Object Class: Ticonderoga
Special Containment Procedures: It is impossible to completely contain SCP-CN-1616-J due to universality and randomness. considering the item is difficult to impact on normal society virtually, active containment procedures have yet been taken. All SCP-CN-1616-J incidents inside the foundation are to be conserved and documented for the research purpose.
Description: SCP-CN-1616-J refers to a random anomalous phenomenon that occurs on humans taking part in any group activity. Those entities suffering the phenomenon are designated SCP-CN-1616-J-A. The following are instances of SCP-CN-1616-J:
- Before the activity, SCP-CN-1616-J-A will, in loud voice, claim to other participants that they did not make enough preparations for it. Though in most cases, enough efforts have been observed and SCP-CN-1616-J-A will not appear obvious anxious.
- During the activity, SCP-CN-1616-J-A will attract the attention of other participants with a relatively high-performance show. Which occasionally will make other participants perform worse than normal or upset.
- After the activity, other participants will express astonishment towards SCP-CN-1616-J-A, and questions such as 'I thought you said you weren't ready!' Under most circumstances, SCP-CN-1616-J-A will explain vaguely about such behavior or can not answer.
According to figures provided by the Foundation, the occurrence rate of SCP-CN-1616-J reaches up to 80%, which is hard to explain with traditional social anthropology theories, and thus SCP-CN-1616-J is listed as an SCP item. Various hypotheses have been raised so far, all be denied due to lack of evidence. The hypotheses comprise, but not be limited to, the following items:
- Temporary memory loss to preparations
- Change of history on preparations
- Action character / sound-based meme on SCP-CN-1616-J-A themselves (positive) or other participants (negative)
Relevant researches were being made for operations.
