Item #: SCP-42069 SCP-4053

Object Class: Fucking prick Safe

Look, if the higher-ups didn't want this piece of shit for experimentation, I'd destroy it the first chance I got. So would everyone else on the containment team. This thing is so goddamn annoying that I get a migraine just thinking about it. I'm sending in another formal reclassification request to try and make this thing somebody else's problem. And if it gets denied again, then so help me God I'm throwing Fifty Shades of Grey into 826 until they give me my pink slip.- Sincerely, Dr. Robert Sinclaire

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4037 is to be kept in a secure storage locker on Site-12, and can go fuck itself and is to be taken out only for the purposes of experimentation.

Due to the mildly predictable nature of the artifact, no special supervision of experiments is required unless the experiment involves another SCP.

Description: SCP-4037 is a standard ball point pen, measuring four (4) inches in length, and 0.9cm in diameter, and is in moderately poor condition due to it's age. On the side of the artifact the Latin phrase "Ut Scribe De Peccato", meaning "To Write Of Sin" is roughly engraved in solid gold. The colir of the ink in which the pen writes changes depending on the person holding it.

It's anomalous properties are not apparent until a human or otherwise sapient entity comes into contact with it. Upon physical contact with the artifact, it begins to speak in a "crude, slangy" male American voice. It asks what the holder wishes to see, and, upon receiving an answer, begins to telepathically infiltrate the holder's mind. The holder then closes it's eyes and enters a trance-like state, during which they cannot respond to outside stimuli1, and begin drawing or writing on the nearest flat surface or sheet of paper.

What the holder draws or writes directly corresponds to what the holder stated that they wished to see at the beginning of the session. These can be anything from the statuses of other SCPs, to the time of day, to the [DATA EXPUNGED], as well as to [DATA EXPUNGED], majing it's knowledge seemingly endless. It is currently unknown how the artifact came into possession of any of the provided information, and the origin of the artifact itself. If the holder attempts to initiate a conversation with the artifact before telling it their wish, they can sustain the interaction indefinitely, as long as they do not tell it their wish.

The artifact displays a relatively immature and adolescent sense of humor, and does not seem to interact well with others. It has been seen talking about many different subjects, such as sports and women, and seems quite annoyed with it's current situation. It does not seem to have any recollection of how or why it attained it's anomalous properties, but enjoys being used due to what it describes as a "strange satisfaction" that it experiences during the process.

Discovery: SCP-4037 was discovered in ██████, New York in 1987 after a newly-wed couple made numerous complaunts to the police about a supposed intruder that the husband heard whenever he was working in his office. They stated that it knew intimate details about them, but that they could never ascertain the siurce of the voice or how it new such things. The artifact was only taken in by the Foundation when the husband attempted to turn himself in to a mental asylum because he thought he was hearing voices from his pen.
