SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES
All known instances of SCP-XXXX-F are currently being monitored by the Foundation. SCP-XXXX-F instances are to be subtly manipulated to leave their hometown and, if possible, become employed by the Foundation or another willing organisation aware of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-F instances employed by the Foundation are to be assigned to Foundation Sites with low-risk anomalies and, if at all possible, kept within low-ranking positions. SCP-XXXX-F instances are to be made aware of other SCP-XXXX-F instances employed by the Foundation or other organisations involved with the anomalous..Aidos-Class Objects are at risk of becoming permanently neutralized and are currently receiving aid from the Foundation.
DESCRIPTION
SCP-XXXX refers to a probabilistic anomaly affecting the Clare Family where-in members of the Clare Family (SCP-XXXX-F) are more likely to die in violent manners. The likelihood for an SCP-XXXX-F instance to die increases exponentially as they age. Most SCP-XXXX-F instances die in their late teens or early twenties, with the oldest known SCP-XXXX-F instance having died at 56.
Currently, there are 4 3 known living SCP-XXXX-F instances:
- Dr. Trent Clare, former head of Area-34's HR Department. Following the downsizing of AWD, Trent transferred to Site-43 as a member of their Hiring and Regulations section.
- Dr. Cassidy "Commoner" Clare, current field medic for STF Epsilon-55 ("Devil May Care")'s Beta Squad and former medical head for Site-12.
- Beatrice Clare, a field agent for the Unusual Incidents Unit, FBI.
- Sarah Clare, a civilian nurse living in Southern France.
DISCOVERY
SCP-XXXX was first made aware to the Foundation following the disappearance of Dr. Trent Clare in August of 2025. During the routine investigation into Dr. Clare's office to discern his whereabouts, the following note was found in his safe:
If you are reading this, then it's likely that I have gone missing, and the Foundation is launching an investigation to find out what happened to me.
It is even more likely that by the time you are reading this, I am already dead.
My family, the Clares, have long been subject to a curse. A curse that stamps out our mark on this world, suffocates our young, and rids us of the ability to grow old. Just as they start their lives, the young of the Clare family die, always in a tragic manner.
I joined the Foundation to find a way around this curse, hoping that something within your vast collection could save my family. But, well… It seems I have failed in this.
If you need proof of the Clare Curse, look into my family's records. I've already collected a couple of examples, but I'm sure you can find even more. You can find them on my computer.
If I really am dead, if I really am gone, find the rest of my family. I haven't heard from any of them in ages - chances are that most of them have already died. Find them. Secure them. Protect them. And please, contain this curse.

SCP-XXXX Interview 1
Interviewed: Dr. Cassidy Clare
Interviewer: Dr. Akabi Hayk
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Akabi Hayk: How are you today, Cass?
Dr. Cassidy Clare: Good? Look, if this is about my behaviour on that last operation, I can assure you tha-
Dr. Hayk: No, that's not what I'm here for. Your squad lead has already cleared that with the higher-ups.
Dr. Clare: [Sigh] Thank god…
Dr. Hayk: It's about your uncle.
[Silence]
Dr. Clare: Excuse me?
Dr. Hayk: Your uncle, Cass, Trent Clar-
Dr. Clare: Yeah, yeah, I know that fleabags name. Haven't heard from him in ages. What does he have to do with anything?
Dr. Hayk: He's dead. Went missing 5 months ago. Found his body in Thailand a couple of days ago. He was pretty heavily disfigured, we're still not sure who did it.
Dr. Clare: Oh god, I…
Dr. Hayk: It's alright if you need to take some time to take this all in, Cass. I can offer you some water or a snack if you'd like.
Dr. Clare: Never even knew he went missing… Figured he finally got the hint and stopped trying to contact me… I'll take that bottle of water, Akabi.
[Dr. Hayk hands Dr. Clare a bottle of water, who takes a small sip of it.]
Dr. Clare: Why are you telling me this, Akabi?
Dr. Hayk: Pardon?
Dr. Clare: Doesn't the Foundation usually just send an email or letter telling you your family member died and offering you their condolences? I remember them doing that when my parents. Why did they send you?
Dr. Hayk: [Sigh] When your uncle went missing, we looked through his office at -43 for any evidence he might've left behind that could help us find him. We didn't find anything that pointed to his location, but we did find this note.
[Dr. Hayk hands Dr. Clare the note from the DISCOVERY section.]
Dr. Hayk: We were a bit sceptical at first, but we looked into your family record and well…
[Dr. Hayk hands Dr. Clare a print-out of the table from ADDENDUM.XXXX.1]]
Dr. Hayk: It kinda seems to add up. A lot of your family members died under mysterious, sometimes anomalous circumstances.
Dr. Clare: You're telling me… my uncle, my grandparents, my parents, all died cause of some… some family curse? Why are you telling me this?
Dr. Hayk: Well, you're in your 30s now, right? Chances are the curse is gonna hit you and your sister sooner rather than later. How old is your sister, anyway?
Dr. Clare: 31, same as me. We're, uh, we're twins.
Dr. Hayk: We also found a cousin of yours, Beatrice. Couple of years younger than the two of you, she's with the UIU right now. The Foundation wants to protect the three of you and, if possible, find a way to counteract the curse. They've already opened up an SCP slot for it, SCP-XXXX.
Dr. Clare: [Laugh] Of course they have… What do you guys want me to do?
Dr. Hayk: For now? We're gonna transfer you to Site-43. See if we can't get your sister and cousin to come into our custody. Beatrice is currently conducting an investigation in Dallas and your sister is-
Dr. Clare: Hyères, France. I know that. Bought her the ticket myself when she decided to move there.
Dr. Hayk: The Foundation also wanted you to be there when we went to get Beatrice and Sarah. If that'd be alright with you.
[Dr. Clare nods.]
Dr. Hayk: Alright, well that's that. I'll go and finalize the transfer request to get you at -43. I'd recommend you say your goodbyes and get your bags packed.

ADDENDUM.XXXX.3
BEATRICE CLARE
Following the transfer of Dr. Clare to Site-43, communications were established with UIU to request the transfer of Agent Clare. Following multiple conversations between Dr. Cole Thereven and UIU Liasion Douglas Grant, the UIU agreed, with the condition that Agent Clare is returned to UIU employment as soon as possible.
At the time of this agreement being made, Agent Clare was in Dallas, Texas, investigating a para-criminal organisation known as "Los Ratas".GoI-2722. A para-crime syndicate operating from Mexico City to most of the southern USA. Los Ratas mostly deals in the production and selling of paradrugs, illegal paraweaponry and other illicit anomalies.. Dr. Clare was deployed to Dallas to ensure that Agent Clare would come to Site-43. To ensure the safety of Dr. Clare, certain members from Epsilon-55's Beta Squad were deployed as well.
