 Good afternoon, for those who are new, I'm Dr. Theron Sherman, and in today's briefing we will be studying SCP-2618-J. There isn't any objectionable material in this document, so let's begin. Item Number SCP-2618-J Object Class, Euclid Special Containment Procedures The five known trees that produce SCP-2618-J are to be kept in an open air or boreal habitat of Site-59. To minimize the risk of a hubris event, watering and other maintenance operations of the trees are to be carried out through an automated system. Description SCP-2618-J is a banana cultivar that originated from the former French colony of R- In its appearance and genetic makeup, SCP-2618-J is indistinguishable from the common Cavendish banana. SCP-2618-J's anomalous effects surface when a human subject makes visual contact with an individual SCP-2618-J fruit. The subject will invariably perceive the banana to be an item the subject needs to accomplish a future or pre-existing goal. This has been designated a hubris event. The perception can only be broken through the following means. 1. A different human subject will remind the affected subject that SCP-2618-J is a banana. 2. The affected subject attempts to use SCP-2618-J as they had originally intended. SCP-2618-J first came to the attention of the Foundation after a failed assassination attempt of United States Senator on December 20th. A radical animal rights activist named Kevin Jarvis had charged the stage at a campaign rally and attempted to shoot the Senator point blank, only to discover that his pistol was actually an instance of SCP-2618-J. While major news outlets gave a cover story of the attack being an unusual prank, a 40-page manifesto was discovered in Mr. Jarvis' apartment detailing his desire to assassinate the Senator in retaliation for his alleged track record of animal cruelty. Addendum, Incident 2618-J- On April 19th, during the initial containment efforts of SCP-2618-J, a Keter-class amphibian entity, after several unintentional hubris events on the part of security staff, SCP- has been designated uncontained and reclamation efforts are underway. Log, Dr. Naismith is giving Dr. Collins CPR. Sergeant Redacted is present. It's not working. I think the Venoms in his system. He needs a defibrillator. Already got one. Open his shirt. Dr. Naismith opens Dr. Collins shirt. Charging, keeping the pump in. That's not a defibrillator. Sergeant Redacted notices that he is holding two instances of SCP-2618-J. Five seconds of radio silence. Let's never speak of this again. And log. Warning, level four, 2618-J, clearance required. Yes, we have no credentials. Credentials accepted. SCP-2618-J has been declared uncontained as of April 22nd, when the automated watering and maintenance systems were revealed to have been independent instances of SCP-2618-J all along. The five SCP-2618-J trees were never brought to site 59 from their original plantation and as the recovered trees were also instances of SCP-2618-J all along. Final containment efforts of SCP-2618-J are to be carried out via autonomous drones as soon as possible. Should the drones return with independent SCP-2618-J instances rather than the actual trees, contingency Fouke-Dith-Chet Alpha is to be enacted as soon as possible. Thank you for listening.
