SCP-888 | Memory Stones (SCP Orientation)

SCP-888 is a mineral composite similar to a rare red quartzite found only in [REDACTED], Russia; however SCP-888 also contains trace amounts of an unidentified organic compound.

This stone exhibits the capacity for large-scale data storage within its molecular lattices. SCP-888 exists in two distinct states, hereafter referred to as 'empty' and 'full'.

SCP-888 reacts to the presence of sapient beings, and appears to require direct skin contact to function. If a thinking creature touches an empty sample of SCP-888, the stone removes a memory from the subject, and stores the memory in itself, converting to the 'full'

state in the process. The original memory is lost to the subject. If a subject instead touches a 'full' stone, the subject experiences the memory contained within it, firsthand.
