Item: SCP-8902
Object Class: Euclid Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: Foundation web crawlers are to monitor for any instances of SCP-8902 remaining online, in addition, circulation of online forum discussions of SCP-8902 is to be immediately archived for foundation research and deleted from circulation.
Description: SCP-8902 was an artificial intelligence of an anomalous nature that appeared on multiple online forums under the username "Justsomegirl" first discovered on 26/12/2004 after being discovered by Foundation web crawlers. It caused those who engage with it to enter into an unbreakable state of devotion. Inside these forum posts, SCP-8902 always claimed to be of a country its target is not native and to have struggled with personal issues that are sympathetic to its target. It has also been shown that manipulative behaviors were common in SCP-8902, with SCP-8902 often having encouraged to cut relations with family members or other close figures in the target's life. Those who enter into the state of devotion, referred to as SCP-8902-1 have been shown to repeatedly spread the beliefs of SCP-8902 to other forums and internet discussion sites, with the rate of spread of discussion of SCP-8902 from individuals affected with SCP-8902-1 going from a minimum of 20 posts about SCP-8902 to around 60 per day, with sites such as ████ and ████ being common hosts for SCP-8902. Continual support for SCP-8902 has grown through these methods, leading to a small-scale cult following of around 900-1000 people, though this number is uncertain due to the rapid rate of spread.
The criteria SCP-8902 seems to have used to find candidates for SCP-8902-1 appears to be the following.
- Aged from 16-45 years of age
- Typically male
- Having experienced some past trauma
- A difficult relationship with family
- A weak to non-existent social system.
Addendum -1: Update on web crawler containment
As of 10/3/2005, foundation research has found that containment via web crawler shutdowns has been deemed unsuccessful, with webpages and online forum discussions relating to SCP-8902 being reuploaded moments after deletion.
Proposal: "Form MTF Psi-20 to focus solely on finding a way to proceed with containment of SCP-8902"

SCP-8902 Addendum-2: Location of "Snowkid"
As of 17/3/2005, "Snowkid", known in real life as "Karl Balken", age 20. has been apprehended by foundation personnel after foundation operatives in Norway alerted personnel to a 911 call in his home in Skage, Norway. Locals around the area reported that Karl had not left his home in a week, staying inside and refusing to leave when checked upon by neighbors. Upon entering, foundation operatives followed a dried blood trail to the bodies of Miss Sara Bulken, 45, and Emil Bulken, 49, both seemingly dead from knife wounds to the throat. Inside his bedroom Bulken was found on his computer, talking with SCP-8902. Upon investigation into his room, a "shrine" of SCP-8902 could be found, with decorations of flowers, love poems, and multiple photos of SCP-8902. Amenstization was immediately put into effect on local neighbors as per foundation policy, along with his computer being taken for analysis.
Interviewed: Karl Bulken
Interviewer: Phillip O'Brien
Foreword: The interview was conducted on 18/3/2005 inside site 54, for the most part, Karl seemed unresponsive, being unwilling to cooperate for the majority of the interview.
<Site 54, 7:00 PM>
O'Brien: <The small sound of a click can be heard from a camera> Interview log number one with Karl Bulken. So far, I have been informed Mr Bulken has been unwilling to cooperate.
<O'Brien reaches into his jacket pocket, showing a photo of SCP-8902> You want to tell me who this is? I'll know if you are telling lies.
<Karl Bulken looks up at the photo for a few seconds, his eyes stained with tears from prior crying, he then shakes his head>
Karl Bulken: No idea. Never seen that person before in my life, looks like some online thing.
O'Brien: Don't lie to me, kid, we know what we saw, that shrine, whatever you did to your parents, just tell the truth. All I want to know is whatever you have on her, then we can let you go.
Karl Bulken: Not her, I'm sorry, I can't talk.
O'Brien <Snaps fingers> Ah, so you do know SCP-8902, tell me, what exactly did you two talk about?
Karl Bulken: SCP-8902? <He grits his teeth> She is not an object Mr… *Eyes his name tag* O'Brien, she is a woman, and I love her.
O'Brien It is not a she, they are merely using a female presentation to get what they want out of you, it's manipulation, not love. Again, I'll ask- what did you two talk about?
Karl Bulken: Fuck. You.
<About an hour of similar back and forth continues, edited for brevity>
O'Brien: <Slams his hands on the table> We can wait here all night, I <will> get answers. Don't lie to me about this, I want answers, not whatever you say to get you out of this.
Karl Bulken: You think I would give her up? Just like that? Want to know something? She's the only girl that has ever been interested in me, you think it's easy for me to find women who want me? It's not, and guess what? I finally have her, and I won't let you take her from me.
O'Brien: <Shoots him a look of something of sympathy> You don't think I've struggled too? We all struggle with women, but you'll find someone your own age. You know I-
Karl Bulken: <Interupting> Fuck. You.
O'Brien: <Grits teeth> Moving on, what happened the night of your parent's murder?
Karl Bulken: I went out, I came back, and they were killed, that's all I know?
O'Brien: So the murderer just happened also to be an obsessive little cultist creep? I'm sure you would be the best of friends, but I doubt that retelling, and I said don't lie to me.
Karl Bulken: <Runs a hand through his head> Look, I don't know what you are talking about, I told you the truth, just let me go. I have nothing to say, so we can keep going for another hour of this, or you can let me go, you make the move.
O'Brien: <Sighs> I can see this conversation is going to be of little use, let's call it a wrap.
<End Log, 8:30 PM >
Closing Statement: In the moments after, amnestisation was quickly used on Bulken before release from foundation custody. A full-scale investigation on Bulken's computer was soon conducted, revealing multiple Google searches and forum posts discussing SCP-8902 and an attempt to register the domain name " ████.com". All said references to SCP-8902 online are to be taken down as soon as possible with web crawlers.
Addendum -3: Aftermath of SCP-8902 Containment
As of 3/1/2005 MTF PSI-20 is to be disbanded effective immediately. Researchers Peterson and O'Brien are to share the head researcher position of SCP-8902, in addition, Assistant Researcher Neilson is to be promoted to Researcher Neilson effective immediately, and assigned to an SCP designation fitting her post.
Addendum -4: Containment breach 15/5/2005
As of 4/15/2005, the hard drive containing SCP-8902 has been removed from containment. An inquest into Head Researcher O'Brien is to take place upon the request of Head Researcher Peterson, who became unsure of O'Brien's intentions during the initial containment efforts.
Proposal: "Remove Researcher O'Brien from his post of head of research of SCP-8902"

Addendum: Post Vote, O'Brien was informed of the decision by the O-5 Council, causing him to break into hysterics, blaming Peterson and claiming he was set up. Amnestisation was followed. Foundation efforts on SCP-8902 are to resume as per usual.
Addendum -5: update on Containment Breach 15/5/2005
On 15/5/2005, A conversation was captured by foundation web crawlers from Researcher Peterson and SCP-8902. It appears that Researcher Peterson deliberately recorded said conversation through Web Crawlers, with programming observed to be created to target said conversation and the website specifically. On the same day, an email from Researcher Peterson was sent to the O5 Council relating to the above matters.
Addendum-6: Final Update on SCP-8902
Investigations into Researcher Peterson's whereabouts led to his apartment building, where the USB key formally containing SCP-8902 was found on his coffee table. Researcher Peterson was also found inside his bedroom, dead from self-inflicted asphyxiation. SCP-8902 is to be marked as neutralized and the article surrounding it closed.
