++ NOTICE - READER ADVISORY

If you are reading this document, it is assumed that you have been exposed to SCP-9008's infohazardous effect and have approximately 5 minutes before a teleportation event occurs. To maximize chances of survival, it is strongly recommended that you stop reading this document beyond this notice and try to acquire the following items to the best of your ability:

•	A GPS locator or any device capable of transmitting your location
•	Sufficient food and drinkable water to last at least 72 hours
•	Appropriate clothing and survival gear for open environments, both cold and warm climates
•	A lifejacket or any other portable water flotation device
•	A flashlight or any other portable source of light

These precautions significantly increase the likelihood of survival. Stay calm. Prepare for imminent displacement to a potentially hazardous location. Contact Foundation recovery teams as soon as possible. 
In the event of a successful contact with a Foundation recovery team, under no circumstances should you attempt to explain the nature of your displacement or why you require assistance to rescue personnel. Any such explanations may result in additional teleportation events.

**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-9008 is stored in a standard secure locker at Site-149. Access requires direct authorization from Researcher Adrian Blaine. Unauthorized discussion or sharing of any information about SCP-9008 is strictly prohibited. An automated monitoring system is in place to scour the internet, digital networks and SCiPNET for any unauthorized mentions of SCP-9008. Any such instances will be immediately removed or replaced with non-anomalous content to prevent accidental exposure. Due to the nature of the anomaly, all operations of the automated system cannot be monitored or interfered with by human personnel. All testing involving SCP-9008 must receive prior approval from Researcher Adrian Blaine.

**Description:** SCP-9008 is a single yellow sticky note measuring approximately 5 x 5 cm. The note has a message handwritten with a black marker: //“This Place Sucks”// along with an illustration of a frowning face. Physical examination reveals no anomalous properties. The means by which the anomaly functions remains unknown.

SCP-9008 has two distinct activation mechanisms that trigger its effect:
# Perceiving the physical note through any sensory means.
# Learning **new** information about the object or its workings.
Affected individuals undergo a delayed teleportation event ~5 minutes after exposure. This event involuntarily transports the subject to a random location on the Earth's surface. Any attempts to stop the teleportation effect have been unsuccessful.

//If you're still reading this, it's already too late. Hope you'll get teleported somewhere safe.//

Researcher Blaine’s disappearance remained unnoticed until he contacted the Foundation recovery team from San Diego, California, using his personal cell phone approximately 1 hour after the event. He was recovered and brought back to the Site the same day via a flight arranged by Director James Donovan. 

Researcher Blaine was questioned by the Site Director following his return to Site-149. The following is a transcription of the meeting within the Director's office:

It is currently 17th of July 2025. Time is 8:40. I am Researcher Adrian Blaine, working at Site-149. Yesterday I was subjected to an involuntary teleportation, when I was transported from the Archival Room C to an alley in San Diego. I have been tasked with learning any information about this event by the Director. For my first test, I will be carefully looking through this room in an attempt to spot anything out of the ordinary.

**Note:** Researcher Blaine was able to contact a Foundation recovery team through his GPS locator. After roughly 6 hours, he was rescued by an available recovery team, spearheaded by Field Agent Mahavir Khanna, in Lhasa, China. Afterwards, he was flown back to the United States of America. He returned to Site-149 on 07/19/2025.

Today is 19th of July 2025. The time is 8:11. Last test was a success. I started reading the last file I read in the initial event. Began from the last page I touched to the start in great detail. The test took approximately 7 minutes. The teleportation event occurred when I was reading through the sticky note page—

**Blaine:**
[[/hcell]]

There is a sticky note stuck onto one of the uh— pages in the file. I was reading through that page when the event happened. I came to the conclusion that the sticky note is the anomaly causing these teleportations and not the file itself. As both teleportation events took place when I was reading the page with it, or shortly after. It seems like the most logical conclusion.

**Blaine:**

Uh... right. So, next I will test if I am right, by looking only at the sticky note for a couple of minutes. I am a bit worried about the additional teleportation that happened previously though. My theory is that it's adding more, based on how many times I have been teleported previously. If I'm correct, I should be teleported 3 times during this test.

**Note:** Researcher Blaine was found and recovered in a small town near Hyderabad, India. The recovery team, spearheaded by Field Agent Mahavir Khanna, arrived at his location approximately 4 hours after the activation of the GPS locator. The camera continued recording during this time. Cut for brevity. Agent Khanna made contact with Researcher Blaine at 22:48 local time. The remainder of the footage has been archived as Incident Log 9008-1.

After his recovery and return to the United States on 07/21/2025, Researcher Blaine did not undergo the standard operational debriefing. Instead, he proceeded directly to Director James Donovan’s office without prior appointment. Security personnel allowed entry after Blaine insisted on the urgency of the matter. The following exchange was recorded within the Director’s office:

The following day, the Director held a meeting with Site Management discussing the future of Researcher Adrian Blaine and his research. After the meeting concluded, Director Donovan sent the following email to Researcher Blaine:

|subject= Final Determination Regarding Your Status
]]
Adrian, 
I have considered your situation. In light of your admission of wrongdoing, which affected Field Agent Mahavir Khanna, it has been decided that disciplinary action is warranted. 

Due to the limited information available, we cannot fully assess the severity of the negligence demonstrated by your actions. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, your activities will be monitored by an artificial intelligence system to ensure they remain within acceptable operational parameters. The system will report to me directly. You will be permitted to continue your work within the Foundation. However, you will remain without compensation for a period of three months. 

Furthermore, I have decided to approve your submission. You are granted total authority over the project. Approving such a decision without sufficient information was not taken lightly. I hope that you have learned from your failure and that you will not disappoint.
 
The Foundation has launched a search for Mahavir Khanna. I will inform you of any developments.

[[span style="text-decoration:underline; color: #FF0000;"]][[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-9008/offset/3|It is great to see you engaged in your work again. I hope this will continue.]]][[/span]]
