NOTICE: ACTIVE INVESTIGATION IN PROGRESS


The following file concerns an anomaly currently under investigation. Any information presented here may be incorrect, inaccurate or purely speculative.

Item #: SCP-4000

Object Class: Thaumiel Safe

ENIAC

SCP-4000 at Site-4000 as Foundation technicians examine SCP-4000-1(SCP-4000-2 offscreen).

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4000 will remain at its original site at Area-06(referred to as Site-4000). Containment procedures will stay consistent with the previously established rules(with an exception to repairs): the containment cell’s door will be replaced with a blast-proof reinforced steel door with keycard terminals that will only allow Level 4 clearance personnel through. A second door will be added to disguise the entrance as a janitorial closet consistent with the rest of Site-4000, the sole differences being clearance level for entry and the 5cm of industrial foam padding inside of the door.

Guards must be posted outside of the containment room of SCP-4000, on the floors directly above and below SCP-4000, and along the perimeter of Site-4000 to prevent all exterior breaches of previous test subjects from Area-06(previous test subjects should be apprehended or terminated on sight). The interior should also be closely monitored and personnel are prohibited from disconnecting or removing SCP-4000 circuitry without prior approval from the O5 Council.

Knowledge of Area-06 should be strictly limited to those assigned to SCP-4000 or on the perimeter of Area-06 on a need-to-know basis based on clearance level. Site-4000 has recently been fitted with radar tracking devices that are able to track all movement in and out of Area-06 by satellite. Any unapproved activity entering Area-06 should be swiftly redirected and/or amnesticized as soon as possible. Any unapproved activity exiting Area-06 should immediately be reported to one of three MTF outposts in Madagascar, the Maldives, and Australia depending on the predicted trajectory of said activity.

Description: SCP-4000 is composed of two entities known as SCP-4000-1 and SCP-4000-2. SCP-4000-1 is a supercomputer of an unknown model replicated for the sole purpose of harnessing the anomalous abilities of SCP-4000-2, an electroconvulsive therapy(ECT) machine similar to a Siemens Konvulsator III model.
The anomalous abilities of SCP-4000-2 have proved to affect the brain in such a way that the synapses, hippocampus, and the majority of the frontal lobe are reformatted based on prior subjects; All memories, thought processes, personalities, intelligence quotients, skillsets, and multiple other traits are cloned and replace any previous aspects of present subjects. Presumably due to the volatility of SCP-4000-2, SCP-4000-1 was created.

When a subject (referred to as Subject A) receives SCP-4000-2, the procedure will appear non-anomalous: the subject will experience a brief epileptic seizure but neural functions will remain normal once the procedure is finished. However, with usage of SCP-4000-1, it is evident that SCP-4000-2 internalizes and records the "data" of every neurological function of Subject A; without SCP-4000-1 this process remains unknown. Once a second subject(Subject B) receives SCP-4000-2, the procedure will begin normally until after Subject B exits the seizure stage. Subject B will then emerge with neural functions almost perfectly mirroring Subject A to the point where a natural procedure(one where Subject A's neural "code" is not altered) will convince Subject B that they are actually Subject A, despite physical characteristics not being affected.

With advancements made to SCP-4000-1's technology, SCP-4000-1 can convert the neural activity SCP-4000-2 records to lines of code that(with proper knowledge of said code) can be used to directly manipulate the output of SCP-4000-2, allowing manual control of the anomalous reformatting event in subjects. The code is transferred to a 640px x 480px monitor directly inserted into SCP-4000-1 where lines can be erased and refilled at will.1

SCP-4000-1 claims ██m2 of space inside of Site-4000(70% of room [REDACTED]-B). All attempts to download or copy the code to different computers have not been successful.

Area-06 is a tropical archipelago located in the Southern Indian Ocean. The exact measurement is unknown, but the number of perimeter security posts estimate Area-06 to be around approximately 1,500,000 km2. The amount of islands within the archipelago is still unknown but they all appear to have been inhabited at one point: Every island has at least one rudimentary structure resembling either a homestead or outpost, on average 2kg of garbage and other inorganic waste substances, and the appearance of a hasty exit - the majority of the islands showing signs of being abandoned for months. However, certain islands are still inhabited.

Certain inhabitants of the islands are theorized to be either the previous subjects of early SCP-4000 testing and usage or subjects used as guards to protect Site-4000(henceforth referred to as A06-1). A06-1 Inhabitants are extremely territorial and hostile to all humans within visual proximity(including each other. Given SCP-4000's abilities to alter forms of neural activity as strong as the Intelligence Quotient and combat skill of subjects, the threat levels of individual inhabitants have shown a volatile range from almost neanderthalic combat to highly skilled guerrilla warfare. A06-1 inhabitants seem to have lost the ability to communicate, and will confront Foundation staff or A06-2 inhabitants with extreme force.

The majority of the inhabitants are Class-D personnel2 who appear to be more recent test subjects from Site-4000(Referred to as A06-2). Subjects from the A06-2 group have proved to be more diverse than the A06-1 group, preferring collaboration with other A06-2 personnel and the (seemingly recent) common goal of escaping Area-06. Files found on Site-4000 indicate A06-2 personnel to range from highly dangerous criminals with prior histories of psychopathy and violent tendencies to personnel with little to no psychological abnormalities.

However, given the current state of Site-4000 A06-2 personnel have fled Site-4000 and appear to have had resided all over Area-06 at one point. However, since Foundation acquisition of Area-06 the objective of most A06-2 personnel has been to escape.3

Inhabitants will use anything and everything available on their island to make rudimentary weaponry, tools, homesteads, fortifications, and transport. Both groups have proved to be both alarmingly resourceful and persistent to obtain materials.4 A06-2 inhabitants don't possess the same knowledge as A06-1 inhabitants, but will tend to have strength in numbers over A06-1.

Addendum:

Addendum-4000.1: The inception of Site-4000 was for treatment of Foundation personnel suffering from mental illness and the negative effects of widespread infohazards and memetic hazards on the human brain. However, after the Chaos Insurgency splintered off from the Foundation in 1924, Site-4000 was eventually compromised and was controlled by the Insurgency until 1948.

Addendum-4000.2: Early testing logs prior to seizure by the Chaos Insurgency

Subject A Subject B End Result
D-5688: No psychological abnormalities. One of the last fluent speakers of the South American █████████ extinct language. D-3070: No psychological abnormalities; has never left hometown of █████, Italy. D-3070 shows significant synapse growth and can fluently read, write, and speak in █████████.
Lt. B███: Suffers from a memetic hazard after an outbreak of SCP-████. D-3477: No psychological abnormalities. Lt. B███ has made a complete recovery but D-3477 now shows symptoms of a well-developed version of said hazard.5

Possesses an intense hatred of the British. D-3299’s animosity has been brought down to a point where a casual conversation could be held between D-3299 and D-4680 for approximately 70 minutes. Both were amnesticized afterwards, but D-3299 was not released until later6
