[[>]] [[module Rate]] [[/>]] **Item #:** SCP-3177 **Object Class:** Safe **Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-3177 is to be stored in a standard anomalous object containment locker. Level-2 clearance is required to remove SCP-3177 from its locker and allow viewing. Should personnel unintentionally come under the effects of SCP-3177, they are to seek immediate amnestic treatment. **Description:** SCP-3177 is a cardboard cutout of American actor Steve Buscemi standing 1.8 meters tall. SCP-3177's anomalous abilities only become relevant when a subject is able to visibly comprehend SCP-3177 after witnessing a murder. Subjects who meet these requirements believe that SCP-3177 was responsible for the murder, and report witnessing them performing the act, regardless of the means of murder. A subject does not need to witness both the murderer and the victim, only the victim dying. A subject who witnesses a victim dying without seeing the murderer is able to recall SCP-3177 committing the act itself, regardless of any events which happened that might contradict this memory. For example, a subject who witnesses a victim being poisoned would recall SCP-3177 giving the victim poison through whichever vessel it was delivered. Currently, no time limit has been discovered between witnessing the murder and interacting with SCP-3177, however amnestic treatment has been shown to reverse the process. **Addendum 3177-01:** The following interview is between Dr. Robert Douhni and D-30044, who was previously convicted for the murder of a family in █████████, Virginia. > **<Begin Log>** > > **Dr. Douhni:** Alright, D-30044, I have a few questions about something that happened a while back. We've gotten word that you were present during the murder of the ████ family back in September of 20██? > > //D-30044 leans back in his chair.// > > **D-30044:** Oh, yes, yes... Fucking hated those greedy wastes of space. > > **Dr. Douhni:** Obviously not a fan then, I see. If you could remain as impartial as you could when describing what happened? It'd... it's going to make it easier for me, personally. > > **D-30044:** Oh, of course. If you want to know what happened, it starts with an interesting coincidence; I was actually about to kill them myself, if you'd believe it. I had everything prepped and ready for the fun I was about to have. Intended to blow the brains out of that preppy kid first and then torture the old fucks before finally ending their lives. > > **Dr. Douhni:** You seemed to have quite the plan already. Why didn't you go through with it? > > **D-30044:** Well, if you'd believe it, that man that you introduced me to earlier? He was already there! Just as I was about to take aim at the kid with the shotgun //I// brought, he just pulled out his own shotgun and killed him before I could even pull the trigger! > > **Dr. Douhni:** The cardboard cutout? > > **D-30044:** Yes! I didn't believe it myself when I first saw it, and honestly I was a bit upset that he got the shot off first. He didn't pay me much mind when I went over and unloaded a few more rounds into that man-child's corpse to make sure he was dead, so that much I appreciated. > > **Dr. Douhni:** Mhm... > > //Dr. Douhni is seen quietly writing on his clipboard before turning his attention back to D-30044.// > > **Dr. Douhni:** Right, sorry. Can you continue? > > **D-30044:** Of course. As I was saying, I don't know where he went next, but he didn't get in the way when I went upstairs and tied up the parents. I had this whole routine practiced, this speech about greed and entitlement and how much pain they've inflicted on me and all the other people of █████████. Each cut was supposed to be symbolic, one cut for every person who was suffering beneath their boots. > > **Dr. Douhni:** I can't personally relate, but, um... > > //Dr. Douhni coughs into his hand.// > > **Dr. Douhni:** I, I think I understand what you were trying to go for. > > **D-30044:** Yes, so, I got to work. I cut their tongues out first so they couldn't scream, then I sawed off the fingers and toes in case they tried to escape. Then... I'm sorry, did you want the details? I can go through the whole routine. I still have the speech memorized. > > //D-30044 is seen smiling to himself. Dr. Douhni is seen covering his mouth with his hands.// > > **Dr. Douhni:** Please, do not go into specific detail, for my sake personally. > > **D-30044:** Of course, my apologies. So, just as I'm about the finish the job, //he// comes back into the room. Out of nowhere he's there, and he looks just as angry at these people as I was. I figured I had my fun, so I offered him the knife. He took it gladly and just slashed their throats open, let 'em bleed out. I was impressed, truly I was. A slow, excruciating death choking on their own blood was what they deserved. Then he simply gave me back the knife and left. > > //Dr. Douhni lowers his hands and picks up his pencil to write again.// > > **Dr. Douhni:** It just killed them and left? Did you see where it went? > > **D-30044:** Sadly no. Shame though, I was the one arrested for it. I didn't even kill them, technically. But hey, at least you all found a way to lock him up, hm? > > **<End Log>** **Incident 3177-██:** [[collapsible show="ENTER LEVEL-4 CREDENTIALS TO ACCESS" hide="ACCESS GRANTED"]] On September 28th, 20██, a large portion of Site-██ was destroyed due to what was believed to be a fault in the heating system.
