0:00.0	SCP 52-51. Flax. Between the jobs of being a foundation researcher and a foundation field agent,
0:13.0	there's no question that the agent has the much more precarious task. Often thrown head-first into
0:20.0	unknown situations, armed with little more than a pistol and
0:23.3	good luck, it's a wonder that anyone signs up for the job. Researchers, on the other hand, are
0:29.6	generally kept pretty safe. Anomalies under containment usually are not especially dangerous
0:35.6	at any given moment, and any really dangerous tasks can be
0:39.7	left to the hapless D class that researchers can toss at the problem. Of course, this is the
0:45.7	SCP universe, however, and there's always an element of the unknown and unpredictable when
0:51.5	dealing with anomalies. SCP 5251 is an especially perplexing anomaly that leads a few researchers into a very awful situation
1:01.4	before they even know it.
1:03.6	Let's take a look.
1:05.6	The article begins with a notice at the top from the HMCL supervisor of Site 33, Kisenya Limanova.
1:14.4	In it, she states that this file is permanently locked, and reading it is forbidden without
1:20.4	adhering to specific instructions. Do not attempt to understand what the object is or what it does,
1:29.1	and do not attempt to derive it from these instructions. The object is neither Euclid nor Ketter. At the top of the unmodified
1:36.7	file from 1993, a general notice from Liminova states to not discuss it or describe it. If you see it, stand still and shut up.
1:47.0	If you need to tell someone about it, take their hand, drag them to a terminal, and point your finger at this notice.
1:54.0	This notice takes priority over the special containment procedures below, which should be ignored.
2:08.0	We then get to the documentation itself, with massive amounts of info being completely blurred out,
2:14.0	including the SCP number, containment class, containment procedures, and description.
2:20.1	The description mentions nearby objects and objects with known properties,
2:26.3	such as a fountain pen of known monetary value, as well as a person of interest, but there's very little to go off of here. An addendum contains an experiment log, run by Liminova and
