Item █ SCP-2316 Object Class Keter Special Containment Procedures Under no circumstances are Foundation personnel to approach SCP-2316. Observation of SCP-2316 must only be carried out by remote dummy probes utilizing video and audio recording equipment. Only those personnel adequately rated for exposure to Cognito Hazardous Anomalies may review footage and audio of SCP-2316. The lake in which SCP-2316 is located has been quarantined and fenced off, and is to be routinely patrolled by individuals who have not been exposed to SCP-2316 and have no prior knowledge of its characteristics. You do not recognize the bodies in the water. Individuals who attempt to bypass the Enforced Quarantine must be apprehended and move to Site-33 for a full cognitive-influenced screening. Individuals who come within 50 meters of the lake containing SCP-2316 are to be considered lost. Please repeat the following phrase slowly and clearly into your terminal microphone. I do not recognize the bodies in the water. Verification complete. User CRV is within acceptable limits. Description SCP-2316 is the designation for our anomalous phenomenon existing within Lake ██████ within ██████ County ██████. SCP-2316 manifests as a group of human corpses floating in a small group at the surface of the water. The identities of these corpses are ██████, though DNA testing has been inconclusive. While SCP-2316 appears to be individual instances, it is theorized that SCP-2316 may instead be an entity composed of a collective consciousness. Individual instances of SCP-2316 do not act on their own, but do seem to be able to act collectively as a single unit. The individual instances of SCP-2316 are unrecognizable and you do not recognize the bodies in the water. SCP-2316 hosts a powerful cognitive hazardous effect, causing those who have viewed SCP-2316 are aware of certain parts of its nature or who were enrolled in the ██████ to believe that the individual instances of SCP-2316 are human beings they recognize, typically from their childhood. Attempting to come into contact with SCP-2316 instances by way of entering ██████ or touching an instance of SCP-2316 will cause other instances of SCP-2316 to appear. You do not recognize the bodies in the water. The additional instances only serve to reinforce and add to the strength of the cognitohazard, compelling affected individuals into the lake. Individuals who enter the lake in this way are lost, to date not have been recovered. Addendum 2316.1 interview. Please repeat the following phrase slowly and clearly into your terminal microphone.

It's your friends, your classmates. You took the trip to the lake in the fall of 75, together when you were young. Don't you remember? Look into their eyes. I know you can hear them talking to you, just like they talk to me. Don't let them tell you it's just a cognitohazard. This was their fault. They caused this. We were all innocent kids, don't you remember? And you just got away. You and I. The rest of them are at the bottom of that lake, waiting for us to go back to them and be holed together again. They want us to know. They want us to remember. Wake up, goddammit. Remember, the fall is 75. The year we were supposed to graduate. Don't let them make you forget. They're calling to you.
