Item #: SCP-7251

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Knowledge of the full extent of SCP-7251's anomalous properties is to be restricted to clearance level 2 or higher; after any personnel with knowledge of this information have completed their work with SCP-7251, they are to be permanently restricted from being any closer in proximity to SCP-7251 than a 100-kilometer radius.

Description: SCP-7251 is a crown constructed entirely of gold and silver. It weighs approximately one kilogram, and is decorated with twelve twenty-carat diamonds (red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple in coloration).

SCP-7251 has an infohazardous effect on any humans that become aware of its existence and the full extent of its properties. These individuals become compelled to find SCP-7251 and place it on their head. Once they have successfully done so, they will experience a number of both physical and mental changes over time (even if they are no longer in contact with SCP-7251), which are as follows:

1. Immediately after contact: the subject will become fixated on a desire to acquire money, power or influence for themselves (the specific effect of this change will depend on the individual's pre-existing desires and ambitions, but they will be amplified considerably). In addition, the subject will become protective of SCP-7251 and want to keep it on their person at all times.

2. One hour after contact: the subject will begin to feel apathetic about the well-being of loved ones such as family members, friends, and romantic partners, and may exhibit behavior that harms these individuals in favor of the subject's own interests.

3. Twelve hours after contact: the subject's eyes (sclera, irises and pupils) will turn completely white in coloration and begin to emit light. Notably, this does not affect the individual's eyesight.

4. Twenty-four hours after contact: the subject will begin to experience auditory hallucinations of a human voice (hence referred to as SCP-7251-B) speaking to them.

5. One hundred hours after contact: the subject will begin to exhibit minor reality-warping abilities, which will always be used in service of the personal desire or goal they're striving towards.

Subjects' reports of SCP-7251-B have varied considerably in terms of gender, timbre and accent, but it is always speaking in the subject's native language. What SCP-7251-B says to the subject has also been known to vary, but in the majority of cases it will urge the subject to strive to achieve their personal desires while disregarding the well-being of others. SCP-7251-B will always refer to itself as the title bestowed to a monarch in the subject's native culture (if the term has a gender distinction, SCP-7251-B will fluctuate between both alternatives), and by the name "Eret".

SCP-7251's psychological effects on the subject are dependent on the subject's physical distance from it; when the subject is moved about 100 kilometers away from SCP-7251, its effects will disappear completely, although they will return once the subject moves closer to it again. Regardless of distance from SCP-7251, the subject will retain the white coloration of their eyes, although they will no longer emit light.

Recovery: SCP-7251 was recovered from the possession of Toby █████ (hence designated PoI-7251-1), a 16-year-old male human from ████████, United Kingdom. Upon gaining possession of SCP-7251, PoI-7251-1 had reportedly run away from his home and taken SCP-7251 with him, disregarding his parents' attempts to dissuade him or convince him to return. When located by Foundation personnel, PoI-7251-1 was surrounded by a swarm of bees (presumably created or controlled by SCP-7251's reality-warping properties), which proceeded to defend PoI-7251-1 and attack the Foundation agents. After being removed from the vicinity of PoI-7251-1, SCP-7251's psychological and reality-warping effects on PoI-7251-1 disappeared and he returned home without further protest.

Addendum 1: PoI-7251-2 Alastair ████, hence referred to as PoI-7251-2, is a 21-year-old male human of United Kingdom citizenship currently living in ████████, United States. PoI-7251-2 has been exposed to SCP-7251 in the past; although the exact date of this is unknown, when questioned, PoI-7251-2 claimed it had been approximately a year before ██/██/████. Following this exposure, PoI-7251-2's eyes have retained their white coloration and light-emitting properties, and he refers to himself as "Eret" in addition to his legal name. Even though SCP-7251's other effects no longer affect him, PoI-7251-2 is still, to the knowledge of the Foundation, the individual that SCP-7251 has had the most prominent and long-lasting effect on.

PoI-7251-1 and -2 have been in communication through the Internet since PoI-7251-1's exposure to SCP-7251, having found each other independently of the Foundation's influence; in addition, PoI-7251-1 has also been known to communicate with .
