Item #: SCP-4921
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4921 is contained in an unlabeled standard humanoid containment cell in Site-19. Routine care and maintenance duties are performed by automated systems to minimize human interaction with SCP-4921. Due to its cognitohazardous effects, this document is not to be copied or referenced without express approval from the project head. Due to the danger it poses to SCP-4921, personnel are not to read this document for periods exceeding 5 minutes.
Description: SCP-4921 is a human female, born in 1998, formerly known as Meri Still, 160cm, 46kg. The object carries a Category Remora-10 cognitohazardous effect; documents that reference or contain information about SCP-4921 carry a matching infohazardous effect to the entity itself. These effects manifest as reflexes, diverting attention away from the object or the documentation in question. When attempting to overcome this effect, individuals experience symptoms including distress, nausea, vertigo, hallucinations, stroke and/or cardiac arrest, depending on the individual's CRV and exposure time. While an individual is subject to the hazardous effects for periods of approximately 10 seconds or longer, SCP-4921 exhibits signs of nausea, distress, fear, and extreme pain, resulting in the object losing consciousness in approximately 70% of cases.
Discovery: On 03/7/2018 Rev. Stacy M Still collapsed in the street, later pronounced dead. During the ensuing investigation, law enforcement personnel began experiencing a rash of unexplained and anomalous phenomena: Multiple reports of otherwise healthy individuals experiencing strokes and hallucinations. The containment team arrived after a police officer experienced a stroke from direct exposure to SCP-4921.

[BEGIN LOG]
Introductory conversation is irrelevant and cut for brevity.
SCP-4921: It's hard to talk about me because it hurts when you do.
Dr. Jean Hiu: Would you mind elaborating on that pain?
SCP-4921: Fine. If you really want to know it's like this: you know how claustrophobic it feels when you're in a room filled with people?
Dr. Jean Hiu: Yes?
SCP-4921: I always feel like that, everyone that knows about me is in my head and it's cramped. And you know the heartburn you feel when you run?
Dr. Jean Hiu: Again, yes.
SCP-4921: That's how I feel constantly. Do you know those migraines that won't stop after you drink a bunch of water?
Dr. Jean Hiu: Yes, I get the picture…
SCP-4921 interrupts Dr. Hiu
SCP-4921: It's like every person who looks at me is punching my brain from the inside. Do you know that stomach ache you get when you fuck up and let someone down hard? I feel shame for being watched and blamed for everything I am, being wrong, whenever someone thinks about me.
Dr. Jean Hiu: I…
SCP-4921 interrupts Dr. Hiu again
SCP-4921: It's like I'm drowning in other people's thoughts, and suffocating, I didn't breathe for like three years. I got that headache that rings in my ears, my sinuses feel like they're filled with molten iron and my tongue feels like it's exploding. I hate this sh…
Dr. Hiu interrupts SCP-4921
Dr. Jean Hiu: I think that's quite enough elaboration SCP-4921.
SCP-4921: Why do you keep calling me that? That fucking hurts the most.
Dr. Hiu's phone rings
Dr. Jean Hiu: Excuse me, it's a timer.
SCP-4921: No it's fine I need a break.
Two minutes of silence.
Dr. Jean Hiu: OK Finished. Where were we?
SCP-4921: We were giving me enough meds to kill myself.
Dr. Jean Hiu: Again. No.
SCP-4921: Then just enough to go to sleep.
Dr. Jean Hiu: That is pending approval.
SCP-4921: How much longer would it take? I can't handle this shit anymore.
SCP-4921 has been fidgeting for the past 6 minutes and broken its left index finger. This goes unnoticed by Dr. Hiu.
Dr. Jean Hiu: That I cannot tell you. Let's move on; you've asked to speak with the project head, I will be the closest you have so tell me what you wanted to tell them.
SCP-4921: I want to talk to them personally.
Dr. Jean Hiu: I understand, but you won't be able to, so I am your…
SCP-4921 faints.

On 01/05/2019 22:27, SCP-4921 attempted suicide by biting its left wrist and using its blood to write a message on the rear wall of its containment cell. Due to its cognitohazardous effects, this message has been designated SCP-4921-1. Human subjects exposed to SCP-4921-1 with a CRV of less than 18 receive neurological damage resulting in severe memory disorders, most commonly retrograde amnesia. SCP-4921 is moved to a different cell. SCP-4921-1 is covered and access to the cell is restricted.
Please repeat the following phrase slowly and clearly into your terminal microphone:
