| - Item #: SCP-1040-J Object Class: Keter Special Containment Procedures: Plan 1040-Omega is to be implemented as soon as possible by way of Foundation front Society of Concerned Parents. After implementation, it is to remain in effect perpetually. Description: SCP-1040-J is an effect, first documented in 1998,1 that has spread in scope from the early 20th Century onwards to now affect the vast majority of adult humans in the United States. Subjects under the influence of SCP-1040-J are beholden to a complex internal logic that, to this date, has defied all attempts at analysis. They will repeatedly display behavior harmful to themselves and others, the scope and severity of which constitutes a Keter-level threat. Left unchecked, SCP-1040-J has the potential to cause an AK-class end-of-civilization scenario. Further characterization of SCP-1040-J is ongoing. Incident 1040-J-264 Vehicle: 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan Driver: Caucasian female, circa 75yo Description: Subject 264 was observed to repeatedly attempt to move into highway traffic at circa 5-10mph below the average speed of the prevailing traffic flow, almost striking Foundation researcher Dr. D. D███████'s vehicle. Incident 1040-J-030 Vehicle: 2012 Dodge Ram Driver: African-American female, est. 25yo Description: Subject 030 was observed applying cosmetic products to her face at a stop light; when the light changed, Subject 030 suddenly accelerated, narrowly missing the vehicle of Foundation researcher Dr. D. D███████. Incident 1040-J-1054 Vehicle: 2007 Ford Mustang GT Driver: Asian male, est. 40yo Description: Subject 1054 was observed to abruptly pull into the right lane of Interstate ██ north of ██████ and immediately decelerate for no discernible reason. Foundation researcher Dr. D. D███████, who was previously maintaining a sensible two-meter following distance, was forced to initiate emergency maneuvers. Incident 1040-J-667 Vehicle: 2009 Ford Escape Driver: Caucasian female, est. 30yo Description: Subject 667 remained stopped for approx. 3 sec too long at a Stop sign when prevailing conditions clearly allowed the subject to proceed, leading another vehicle2, coming up behind, to collide with Vehicle-667's rear bumper. Incident 1040-J-658 Vehicle: 2006 Honda Civic Driver: Foundation researcher Dr. A. Estevez Description: On ██/██/████, Foundation researcher Dr. D. D███████'s vehicle was deliberately struck by that of Foundation researcher Dr. A. Estevez. Displaying typical SCP-1040-J-influenced behavior, Dr. Estevez suggested that the reason for the collision was in fact Dr. D███████ looking at text messages on his cellular phone while driving through the Site-██ parking lot. However, evidence provided by leading experts on SCP-1040-J3 suggests that the probability of such a sequence of events approaches zero. Incident 1040-J-9212 Vehicle: 1965 [DATA EXPUNGED] Driver: [DATA EXPUNGED] Description: Subject 9212 ███████████████████████████████████████████████, followed by Foundation researcher Dr. D. ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████. Special Instruction: The remains of Dr. Derekson's Corvette are to be removed to Disposal Area 056-B and crushed. Also, if anyone knows of an area body shop that does quality work on vintage roadsters, I would appreciate the tip. — O5-9 Footnotes1. Derekson, D., An Insidious Contagion, Proc. SCP Fndn. 1998, 14(5), 65-672. Driven by Foundation researcher Dr. D. D███████3. See Citation 1 above.
