- Dr. Jain turns and exits the cell. He walks past Captain Ahmed without acknowledgment.
- Dr. Jain enters the Site-76 medical bay. He retrieves a surgical scalpel from an unlocked drawer.
- Dr. Jain is found by a nurse. He is still conscious. He smiles and says, "It's equitable now. The blood I didn't earn." He expires at 22:57.

- Dr. Jain gasps. He drops the recorder. He looks at his own hands, then at D-9182. He does not scream. He simply whispers, "Oh."

SCP-XXXX Object Class: Euclid (Pending reclassification to Keter) Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained within a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-76, modified for maximum sensory deprivation. The cell is to be lined with 5cm of acoustic foam, illuminated solely by infrared (no visible light), and ventilated through a series of non-linear baffles. No personnel are to enter the cell without a Class-B amnestic administered prior to entry. Audio recording devices are strictly prohibited within a 20-meter radius of the cell.

This sound is always a whisper, unique to the listener, and seemingly tailored to exploit a specific personal guilt or failure. Upon hearing the whisper, the subject will experience what is termed a "Moral Fracture."
- Dr. Jain approaches the acoustic airlock of SCP-XXXX's cell. He holds a standard Foundation-issue audio recorder, despite written orders. (Note: Vance was in the observation booth, monitoring via IR camera. She did not see the recorder due to a glare on the monitor.) we burn the whisper.
Proposal: Terminate D-9182 via incineration from outside the acoustic perimeter. I don't care if the "anomaly is anchored to him." We burn him, we burn the whisper. If that doesn't work...
