Item #: SCP-963
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-963 is to be given into the care of a current D level operative, as well as personnel classified as Dr. Bright's assistant. This assistant is to be chosen by O5-█ for loyalty to the Foundation, as well as psychological stability.
SCP-963 is to be attached to the subject's forehead or the back of the subject's hand using a suitably strong epoxy. SCP-963 is now hung by a chain from subjects neck. 963 is not allowed to be hidden upon the subject's body. Any attempt to do so will be met with lethal force.
If the current D-level subject exceeds a thirty day life span, they are to be executed and a new subject chosen to wear 963. By order of O5-█, any body SCP-963 is installed upon is given a stay of execution until it passes on of natural causes, or 963 is transferred to a new host.
ATTENTION: As of 12/13/1978 963 is not allowed in proximity of any Euclid or Keter class humanoid SCPs. This directive is to be enforced lethally. Rescinded, O5-6, O5-8, O5-9
ATTENTION: As of Incident-239-b Clef-Kondraki, SCP-963 is not allowed at Site 17 without the express permission of three O5's. Violations are to be met with lethal force. Rescinded, O5-6, O5-8, O5-9
Description: SCP-963 is an ornate amulet approximately 15.24 centimeters in circumference made from white gold, with thirteen (13) ██k brilliant cut diamonds surrounding a ███k oval cut ruby in a starburst pattern. It was discovered in the personal effects of ██████ ███ who had been found dead by apparent suicide, surrounded by a number of supernaturally related books. Our Agent in the area found that 963 was incapable of being damaged and brought it in according to protocol XLR-8R-██.
Dr. Jack Bright, a new researcher at the time, was assigned the responsibility of researching SCP-963's capabilities, and granted access to [REDACTED]. Later that year, SCP-076-2 broke containment (see document 076-2-19A), leading to [REDACTED] deaths and ██ casualties. Doctor Bright was transporting SCP-963 by hand past SCP-076-2's containment unit, and was among the first KIB (killed in breach). Approximately █ days later, D1-113, tasked to clear the area of rubble, discovered 963 among the wreckage and picked it up. An immediate, noticeable change came over D1-113. Interview follows.
Interview Log x████, Date: ██-█-████
████: Could you please tell me your name?
d1-113: It's Jack Bright, you damn well know it is!
████:I believe you are Tom Higly, working for us as part of your life sentence.
d1-113: Don't be ridiculous! I couldn't possibly be- (SCP-963 is removed at this time from D1-113s possession. An further MRI shows that D1-113 ceases all higher brain functions. 963 is returned, upon which brain function returns.)
████:Dr. Bright?
d1-113:What?
████:We appear to have a problem.
After much experimentation, it has been discovered that when any human comes into direct skin contact with SCP-963, the mind of the subject is wiped, and that of Dr. Bright is projected from 963 onto to the subject. It is known that memories native to Dr. Bright transfer from host to host.
If a subject maintains contact for thirty (30) days, their brain functions become a duplicate of the late Dr. Bright's. If 963 is removed after this time period, the subject retains an independent copy of the consciousness of Jack Bright. Sanctions were put in place to prevent multiple instances of Dr. Bright from being created to prevent Dr. Bright from collaborating with himself, however it was found this was not necissary, as Doctor Bright has proven thoroughly dedicated to the Foundation and its cause.
Doctor Bright himself has performed extensive experimentation on SCP-963, with the expressed desire for release from it. Interviews with Doctor Bright indicate that ██████ ███ killed himself in the process of empowering SCP-963, and was therefore never able to slave his own consciousness to the amulet. Doctor Bright theorises that he accidentally activated 963's power by being killed, instead of killing himself as the original creator had done.
It is entirely probable that other versions of this SCP have been created, as evidenced in [DATA EXPUNGED]
