“ | As proper, complete containment of SCP-5699 requires the use of mass-incarceration of affected individuals, lockdowns of major metropolitan areas and extensive application of class-A amnestics, containment of SCP-5699 has been indefinitely suspended. As SCP-5699 typically affects individuals experiencing trauma and emotional instability, containment specialists assigned to SCP-5699 have noted that witnesses regard SCP-5699 as a hallucination, or an extended period of delirium. As such, the O5 Council have ruled that SCP-5699 does not require active containment. | „ |
~ The SCP Foundation ruling out SCP-5699's containment. |
SCP-5699, also known as Take Care of Yourself., is a character in the SCP Foundation series. SCP-5699 is an entity physically uncontainable due to being a paranormal event that can manifest anywhere, but due to its benevolent nature and the inhumane methods it would take to be fully contained, it is one of the few SCPs that the Foundation exempts from containment measures.
Appearance[]
SCP-5699 is classed as a white-class spectral anomaly appearing as a hooded humanoid figure with a reflective glass pane instead of a head.
Behavior and Procedure[]
It appears before individuals who are in emotional turmoil such as despair or depression, and is more likely to appear if they are suicidal. When an SCP-5699 instance appears, it will follow that individual for approximately five minutes before vanishing and writing a message on a nearby mirror or reflective surface through its fog.
SCP-5699's messages typically involve positive memories and events from the life of the person that it visited, notably selfless actions they did in the past from acts of kindness to good deeds. Many of its messages are told from the perspective of the recipients of those good deeds, even after being deceased.
History[]
Dr. Ronald Pearson, a Foundation researcher and leader of the SCP-5699 project, convinced the O5 Council to exempt SCP-5699 from being censored from the public, as it would require unnecessarily cruel and extremist procedures (incarceration, lockdowns and amnestics for entire populations) to be contained. Since Pearson already suffered from depression, SCP-5699 was able to visit him and write a message on his bathroom mirror. It was a message from the anomaly itself, thanking Pearson for giving it freedom so it could continue to help people, and saying that it loves him and tells him not to forget that.
