SCP 7555

Athasagoraphobia

Athasagoraphobia is the intense fear of forgetting something or being forgotten.

They say that a person only truly dies when they are forgotten,

and it's true that there are countless billions of humans that have lived

and died that are now utterly forgotten, aside from a relatively, extremely small number of ones

that live on in history and memory. In a similar way, if you lose something and then forget that you've

lost it, its existence no longer matters to you,

until perhaps you find it again by happenstance.

SCP-755 doesn't appear on the surface to be about anything related to memory or lost

existences, instead about some sort of massive, techno-babel-filled entity, but there's certainly more to it than

meets the eye. Let's take a look. The article begins with a user accessing a foundation

artificial intelligence construct, asking them to open a secure file as an admin. The AI begins to process it, but then crashes with an error code

indicating that an AIC with sufficient sapience encountered and cognized, info hazardous data.

The user then manually opens the file, overriding the AIC, and we proceed with the document.

We're provided a warning from the records and information security administration,

warning us that the file may contain infohazardous and antimimetic vectors,

and so it has been temporarily removed from all foundation databases

following recent developments in containment.

It's only cleared for non-sapient AICs and relevant RASA employees with Level 4 security clearance.

Additionally, personnel who have been diagnosed with Athasagoraobia, or assigned a conception quotient score above 55,

should know that by continuing they endanger not only their own life, but the lives of their colleagues and loved ones.
