Official SCP Testing Log

THIS DOCUMENT IS CLASSIFIED

Level-2/999 Clearance REQUIRED

 

Name:   Junior Researcher Westings

Rank:   Junior Researcher

Clearance Level:   2 (Two)

List of Personnel involved in testing:   Myself,  Dr. Gears, Security LCPL Snuffles, and D-8436

Amount of D class involved:   1 (One);  D-8436

SCP:   SCP-999

Errors and/or safety hazards:   None

Question:   What is the internal, biological source of the enhanced dopamine production due to exposure to SCP-999?

Background Research:   Preliminary reports show that SCP-999 is capable of dramatically and nigh-instantaneously increasing the happiness of individuals who come into direct physical contact with it.  This line of research is intended to determine the exact process by which this phenomenon occurs.

Hypothesis:   Judging by the fact that SCP-999 is itself anomalous, my hypothesis is that SCP-999's behavioral effects are summoned anomalously and by impossibly vague means, such as the spontaneous appearance of dopamine hormones in the nervous system.

Observation:   An electrode was surgically implanted into D-8436's superior, medial prefrontal cortex by Dr. Gears in order to detect brain activity relevant to the test.  Upon exposure to SCP-999, dopamine was released extremely quickly, much more so than a typical response would indicate.  This implies that my hypothesis holds true, and the reaction to SCP-999 is an anomalous process, rather than a biochemical one.

Test Records (Photos/Videos):   No pictures or videos were taken due to the redundancy of both documenting and recording this procedure.

Analysis:   Brain activity peaks were extremely rapid and occurred within milliseconds, suggesting that SCP-999 is literally inserting dopamine compounds into the brain by unknown means, potentially via space-time translocation (commonly referred to as teleportation).

Conclusion:   As stated previously, SCP-999's effects are beyond the current understanding of biochemical neurology, and potentially particle physics, meaning that the effects of SCP-999 are unnatural and anomalous in nature.

Do your results align with your hypothesis?:   Yes.

Remarks:   This line of research may be continued at a later date to determine if any of the data collected can be applied meaningfully.  An example may include artificial SCP-999 gel synthesis for usage in medications, such as antidepressants and pain relievers.  However, the likelihood of successfully creating SCP-999's gel is almost zero, given our current luck in recreating similar anomalous phenomena.
