 SCP-698 is a jade carving of a turtle. Any person who is within 1 meter 45 centimeters of SCP-698 while making any sort of decision or choice will experience a voice in their head, telling them that they have made a mistake and what they should have done instead. However, this statement will only be made after a delay of 5 minutes 25 seconds and only if they have not left SCP-698's range within that time. In the event that a decision or choice was objectively correct, no statement will be made. SCP-698 was purchased by Researcher R on June 14, 2000 from a street vendor in Japan. Researcher R had been intending to give it to his girlfriend. However, 5 minutes 25 seconds after purchase, the turtle informed him that his girlfriend would have preferred a jade elephant.
