 SCP Foundation Amnestic Use Guide This document is classified. The follower revision to this document, version 7.8, was approved by the Ethics Committee on 21 July 2013 for use by personnel at Research Facility 45. Disclaimer, this is not to be used as a training manual. Training manuals were given during the actual classes. To request training, please send an official request to your immediate supervisor. Take note that this is a facility-Pacific document. Please refer to your onsite protocols regarding amnestic use. The purpose of this document is to provide Foundation personnel with a quick reference guide as to the usage, effects, and protocol regarding amnestics. An amnestic is a Indonesia-inducing agent which can take many forms. For the purposes of the Foundation, it is mainly used in suppressing sensitive information by expunging intangible memories. In most cases, they are applied post-incident. The use of amnestics is decided on a case-by-case basis unless the authority of higher clearance levels is invoked as explained in the following pages. Amnestics are considered one of the most powerful tools in use by the Foundation. Great care and proper training is mandatory in the channeling and application of amnestics in an appropriate manner. The abuse of amnestics is strictly prohibited and will result in disciplinary action, demotion, or both. In all cases, the Ethics Committee has the final word on approval and decisions regarding amnestic use and misuse respectively. Class A Visual Code Single Black Stripe Clearance Use Trains Level 1 and above Delivery Methods Aerosol Effectivity 6-12 Hours Users' Protocols Approved for General Field Use Side Effects Sedation Headaches and nausea Detailed Description Gaseous Class A is the most commonly used amnestic in the field. The main benefit when using Class A is that it can be administered to not only one, but many individuals. In some documented cases, Class A has been used on entire populations with the aid of aerial application. Other applications also include 40-millimeter cartridges that can be launched to deliver Class A into an enclosed area or room, as well as small hand-held aerosol sprayers for single use. Because of its chemical composition, accidental overdose is extremely unlikely with minimal training on Class A applications. The safety feature allows Class A to be used liberally as an inhalant. It is also convenient in use as it requires little to no follow-up on affected individuals as it has a 98.7% success rate. Class A is ideal for use by field agents, rapid response teams, and mobile task force groups. The only concern when using Class A is accidental self-application. Personnel trained in the use of Class A are instructed in the use of application devices as well as environmental conditions that may cause an incident. It is recommended that at least one other Foundation employee be present during the application of Class A as to facilitate the continuation of duties in case of accidental self-application by a user. Class B Visual Code Double Aqua Stripe Clearance Use Trained Level 2 and above Delivery Methods Oral and Injection Effectivity 20-72 Hours Usage Protocols Approved for General Field Use Side Effects Sedation Prolonged to Parasthesia Migraines Blurred Vision Detailed Description Chemically, there is little difference between Class A and Class B. The main difference is application, whereas Class B is either ingested or injected directly into the bloodstream. Used in this fashion, Class A is allowed to have a larger effect on the bodies that would normally have. Class B commonly comes in the form of dissolving tablets or liquid. Most common delivery method is by dissolving Class B tablets in the water and allowing the individual to ingest it. Use of Class B is also commonly employed in ballistic syringes and launched via compressed gas. Class B is just as safe to use as Class A, making it ideal for use in many departments. Class B also has a record of far fewer accidental self-application incidents in Class A due in part to its delivery and storage, allowing for a single user to administer without the presence of additional staff. Class C Visual Code Triple Bronze Stripe Clearance Use Level 3 Authorization and Above Delivery Method Injection Effectivity 4-9 Days Uses Protocols General Use for Post Interrogations Detainment at a Foundation-Controlled Site Side Effects Sedation Slight Paralysis Medical Attention Required Detailed Description Unlike Class A and Class B, Class C is a much more potent variant. As such, the actor effect and risk inherent to the application to Class C requires the aid of Foundation Medical Personnel. Persons must have medical training to administer Class C via syringe directly into the bloodstream. Class C is mainly employed to detain individuals so that Class C can be used in a controlled setting. Afterwards, detainee may be released only after being cleared by medical staff. Class C is not approved for general field use and may only be requested by investigators and interrogators in any other Level 3 approved usage. Class C has a 92.8% success rate and may require follow-up examinations or doses. Personnel are prohibited from using Class C on a single individual more than four times. Class D Visual Code Checkered Olive Band Clearance use requires at least two Level 3 personnel authorization and supervision to be administered. Delivery Method Injection Two-Staged Dose Through IV Effectivity Three-Plus Weeks Usage Protocols to be used to counter effects of anomalous psychosis and or memetic incursions. Side Effects Sedation Paralysis Post Incident Rehabilitation Required Impossible Brain Damage Detailed Description Class D once held a lower designation until it was superseded in replacement of more appropriate amnestic, C Class C, for use on detainees. Before that, Class D was employed regularly with limited success in individuals as many adverse effects of the brain after application were found to be inadmissible by the ethics committee. Thus, Class D was reviewed and found to be more appropriately used in cases where brain damage or a major chronic chemical imbalance was already prevalent in the individual. These cases usually involve anomalous mental effects and or memetic incursions of the mind. Because the effects of memetics can be largely unknown, the use of a potent and riskier amnestic would approve of an option to counter or control the effects. Class D can only be employed by medical staff in a controlled setting. Level 3 supervision is required to facilitate the protection of medical staff from the patient if needed. Class E Visual Code Vertical Salmon Bar Clearance Use Level 4 Request Pending Case Decision by the EZICS Committee Delivery Methods Injection Multiple Stage Doses Through IV Effectivity Complete Recall Expungement Usage Protocols In situations where the individual's identity is deemed to be a threat Side Effects Sedation Long-term Paralysis Possible Brain Damage or Canototic Symptoms Post Incident Rehabilitation Required Detailed Description Class E can only be given by medical staff in a controlled setting after a formal request has been submitted by Level 4 staff and approved by the EZICS Committee. Upon administration, medical staff will be required to oversee the individual during recovery. Only 0.02% of individuals enter the permanent vegetative state after being administered Class E. In these cases, the individual will be remitted to an appropriate civilian hospital indefinitely. Additional Details Class E is not an amnestic. It is intentionally designed to put the individual into a drug-induced coma permanently. It is to be used in cases where termination of an individual is not possible or preferable. Foundation staff of Level 3 or lower are not permitted to know the actual purpose of Class E. For all intents and purposes, Class E rehabilitation is to be interpreted as entirely possible, and any observed adverse effects are to be explained as being the rare exception rather than the desired outcome. Persons administering Class E may only do so once during their employment as to prevent suspicion. Class F, Visual Code, Solid Silver Band, Clearance Use, Level 4 Authorization, Human Trial Testing, Delivery Methods, Injection, Multiple Stage Doses Used in Conjunction with Other Psychotropics, Visual Audio Stimuli, Electroconvulsive Therapy, Effectivity, Memory Recall Expungement and Identity Reconditioning. Uses Protocols, Experimental Use Only Pending, Formal Review, Side Effects, Sedation, Short Term Paralysis, Increase Subceptibility to Visual and Audio Stimuli. Detailed Description Class F is currently in Alpha Stages of Testing. All data on Human Trials are currently under review by the Essex Committee. In all Human Trials, 83.9% succeeded in complete retainant of their respective reconditioned identities. The entire process approximately takes five days of continuous conditioning and therapy to produce the desired effect. Class F can only be administered under the direction of psychology and medical staff in a controlled and completely isolated setting. Class F is administered with a combination of other psychotropics to allow the individual to accept external input for reconditioning with limited subconscious resistance. External visual and audio stimuli will need to be personalized based on the individual's original psyche and their resulting fabricated identity for maximum probability of success. Coupled with the additional aid of electroconvulsive therapy, Class F is very effective in identity reconditioning. Afterwards, individuals may be released into the general population under minimum observation. In regards to specific SCPs, Class F has been discussed as a passive and safer alternative to physical containment. On-Wheat Protocol Visual Code, Puce Icon Clearance Use, Unanimous Decision by O5 Council Delivery Methods, Unknown Effectivity, Unknown Usage Protocols for Emergency Use Only Side Effects, Unknown Detailed Description To whom it may concern. If you are reading this and something horrible has happened in spite of your best efforts, this is your last desperate option. To be honest, there is no way to know what will happen. Whomever in their infinite wisdom made this hastily scribbled the instructions on a notepad in the O5 office so very long ago. These instructions for the so-called On-Wheat Protocol explain the necessity of a unanimous decision by this Council, a long code consisting of all O5 private employee numbers in reverse order typed into our work terminal, and that it should be referenced somewhere so we can find it again. This way we don't forget about it in situations like this. We assume it affects everyone in some fashion, we hope. Don't bother looking into it. Whatever the actual device or agent or canido hazard or memetic phrase or some other abstract thing is, it's hidden very well somewhere in the bowels of Research Facility 45 and the people who put it there are either dead or have long since forgotten about it. The truly bewildering thing is that we don't even know how many times we've used the On-Wheat Protocol before this. We have to relearn it every time it seems. Even as I'm writing this, we are preparing to invoke it off-site. So I am attempted to convey all the little clues left here and there and consolidate it in this handwritten note, read in my future self or other O5 Council members. Apparently, there are things that even us O5 hide from ourselves. The only thing we know is that this has worked before. Good luck and Godspeed. Secure. Contain. Protect. O5
