Item #: SCP-8406
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8406, inside SCP-8406-2, is to be contained within a Safe Item Storage Locker kept in Site 02. Due to the danger this SCP possesses, a unanimous vote from all O5 members is required before any tests may be performed.
Description: SCP-8406 is a gif contained on an iPhone 8 (SCP-8406-2) that from the thumbnail appears to be a cat dancing, but upon opening reveals the text “REPLY TO THIS POST OR YOUR MOTHER WILL DIE IN HER SLEEP TONIGHT NO IMMUNITIES”. The text is accurate, as the reader’s mother will indeed die as soon as she reaches the REM stage of sleep, the method seemingly being natural causes. Should the reader have no mother alive, SCP-8406 will choose whomever the reader cares about the most. As the text claimed, this can be averted by leaving a reply on whatever form of social media the gif appears on. There is currently no way to avoid the effects of the gif when it is displayed on a system without a means of replying, such as a television screen. Treatments for the mother/loved one in question are under testing.
Additional Notes: There are currently [REDACTED] individuals being administered powerful stimulants to prevent them from falling asleep.
