SCP-2214

Item #:  SCP-2214

Object Class:  Safe

Special Containment Procedures:  SCP-2214 is to be kept in Site-19's Secure Artifacts Storage its original CD case. Only Class 3 personnel or higher are to be granted access to SCP-2214. Personnel that have severed a romantic relationship in the past are strictly prohibited from interacting with SCP-2214.

Description:  SCP-2214 is a standard compact disk copy of Simon and Garfunkel's "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme." identical to those released by the Columbia Records label. The CD itself seems to contain no anomalous properties.

However, when a divorced or separated subject hears the first song on the album, "Scarborough Fair," the subject becomes an instance of SCP-2214-1. SCP-2214-1 subjects will immediately begin to feel remorse about losing the person they call their "True Love of Mine," and will immediately set out to complete a clearly impossible task mentioned in the song. If an SCP-2214-1 instance is hindered, or if they go a full two weeks without completing their goal, the subject grows increasingly violent. So far, this has resulted in ██ casualties.

Addendum-1:

SCP-2214 came to the Foundation's attention when ██████ ████ of █████████, Oklahoma, killed three police officers during a routine traffic stop. When finally caught and interviewed, he claimed that "I'm trying to get the True Love of Mine back." Agents embedded in the Police Department searched his apartment, and found that he had been recently divorced. They also found SCP-2214 in his list of CD's, and brought it to the Foundation.

Addendum-2:

Investigation into SCP-2214 revealed a note written on the cover in what looked like invisible ink. When put under a blacklight, it was shown to be blood. The note is written in a form of Middle English, and signed with the letter M.

When translated, the note read:

He who scorned me shall not scorn me again. He calls me his True Love, but he must earn me back. He must complete the tasks of the song to get my love back, or die trying. Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned. -M

An investigation into the identity of 'M' is pending.

Incident 2214-1

Agent █████, who had recently gone through a divorce, was exposed to SCP-2214. He began muttering about "Buying an acre of land between the salt sea, and the sand." When Foundation personnel tried to contain him, Agent █████ began to attack the personnel, and go on a rampage throughout the entire facility, leading to ██ casualties.
