 Item number SCP-1131 Object Class Domual Special Containment Procedures All members of the O5 Council, the Ethics Committee, and the Site Director Executive Council of the whole are to utilize SCP-1131 at all times on a 24-7 basis. Description SCP-1131 refers to a method utilized by the Unusual Incidents Unit used to counter the effects of Cognito-Hattertus entities. SCP-1131 operates in an autonomous function when the subject using the method has encountered a Cognito-Hattertus entity. Possible usage against memetic, anti-memetic objects is undergoing experimentation. The mind, when affected by a Cognito-Hattertus entity, will undergo a series of chemical changes heavily varying based upon the goal and power of said entity. These chemical changes are the main source of the property shown on the affected subject, such as loss of motor function, memory alteration, and quote-unquote mind control. These chemical changes can be completely counteracted via any amount of the element 10, symbol SN, atomic number 50, but only if the 10 is covered in the majority of the top of the skull. This is commonly achieved via hand-shaped tin foil wrapped around the head in a fashion similar to a hat. This method is SCP-1131. SCP-1131 works due to the fact that the Cognito-Hattertus properties, auras, and effects that an entity may give out cannot travel through closed tin foil under any circumstances, with the exception of very few entities. Research is ongoing. Addendum. The following is a collection of test logs of SCP-1131. Researcher Rory G. Carroll is the overseer for all tests involving SCP-1131. Object SCP-035 Procedure A D-class personnel, D-1131-1, is to be introduced to SCP-035's containment chamber. The subject is then to be questioned as to the effects they are feeling. Results D-1131-1 built no compulsion to don SCP-035. During the test, SCP-035's smile altered into a frown. Following the conclusion of the test, SCP-035 had been extremely uncooperative and pouty because it, quote, got defeated by a fucking tin foil hat, unquote. Attempts to make SCP-035 more cooperative during testing is ongoing. Object SCP-3213 Procedure SCP-1131 is to be used on a southern elephant seal. SCP-3213 is then to be introduced into the seal's direct line of sight. Results SCP-3213 had no effect on the seal. Following introduction to the seal in a controlled testing chamber, SCP-3213 burst out into the tears and said the interaction was, quote, the best moment of his life, unquote, because he was, quote, finally able to hug a seal, unquote. Addendum SCP-3213 is currently scheduled to go on a date with the elephant seal. It has since named Darla. Object SCP-055 Procedure A Foundation researcher using SCP-1131 is to be exposed to SCP-055 to see if it has any effect against the object's anti-mimetic properties. Results See transcription below.
