Subject: SCP-035 Study Request

All,

I hope this message reaches you well. I'm reaching out for three reasons: (1) Introduce myself; (2) Request permission to test on SCP-035; (3) and request permission to access Level 3 clearance files regarding Amnestics.

(1) I'm Jarvis Hardman! I'm a newly employed Foundation researcher with a mental health background in Clinical Psychology and a focus on Serious Mental Health Illnesses.

(2) With Clinical background in mind, I was recommended to read up on SCP-035, a Keter class SCP notorious for causing extreme paranoia, and suicidal and homicidal ideation in Foundation staff. Because of this recommendation, I'm highly interested in launching a short-term study using Class-D personnel, specifically on: Addendums 035-06 and -07. I've attached a summarized version of the addendums for your quick review.

Addendum 035-06: Personnel within 10 meters of SCP-035 report feeling unease, stating that they can hear unintelligible whispering. Several others suffer from severe migraines. No change in objects dormant behavior, and no sounds have been recorded. The motion to reinstate SCP-035's host privileges has been brought up once more, if only on a temporary basis to discover these new changes in the object's behavior. (Denied)

Addendum 035-07: Containment cell have suddenly begun secreting a black substance. Tests on the substance have revealed it to be human blood, although highly contaminated with several foreign and unknown agents. Substance is corrosive. Seems to be forming patterns on the walls. Several segments seem to be in various languages: Italian, Latin, Greek, and Sanskrit. Translation is pending. Other segments appear to be diagrams depicting ritualistic sacrifice and mutilation, often for the arcane benefit of the person committing them. Several staff members have been shocked to note that all of the sacrifices bear an uncanny resemblance to various personnel and their loved ones, often in conflicting positions. Researchers while in the room examining these newly formed patterns have complained of hearing loud whispering, and high pitched, unnerving laughter at irregular intervals. Personnel in the section working daily near and around SCP-035's containment unit have suffered catastrophic morale damage, with an all time high in suicide rates in staff in that area, whether or not they have ever had contact with SCP-035.

(3) Receiving access to Level 03 documents regarding amnestics. I would like to focus my study on using various amnestics to see if we can counteract the effects of long-term (and close) exposure to SCP-035 to provide relief to Class-D personnel allowing us to continue long-term use of them for future testing and prevent any development of a serious mental health disorder. My secondary and final focus would be addressing any of the suicidal and homicidal ideation in Foundation staff.

Hope to hear from you soon!
