Per 
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-X is to be kept in an anomalous item containment unit when not undergoing testing.
Any attempts to alter or interfere with future events ascertained through use of SCP-X is strictly prohibited and is grounds for dismissal from the Foundation.
Description: SCP-X is an antenna ornament in the shape of a generic red sedan. It is composed of high density EVA foam and is coated with an unknown brand of acrylic paint. SCP-X is 7.5 centimeters in length, 3.75 centimeters in width and 2.5 centimeters in height.
When SCP-X is placed on a radio’s antenna, it will allow the radio to receive an anomalous signal on the frequency of 97.3 MHz. If another station within range is broadcasting on the same frequency, the anomalous station will be received clearly with no interference from the non-anomalous station. The radio signal broadcasts a single radio program at all times that consists of music segments, call-in segments and traffic reports segments.
The source of the signal is currently unknown. Due to the inability to track the signal as well as information gathered during the course of testing, it is suspected that the signal does not originate from within this reality.
The host of the program refers to itself as ‘Crash’ and states the name of the radio station is ‘97.3 The Wreck’. The program itself is reminiscent of modern satire and parody of radio programs popular in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s and includes tropes such as: ‘drop in’ audio clips, extensive use of audio distortion effects and the host constantly speaking in an overly enthusiastic tone.
Traffic report segments detail traffic collisions and other automobile incidents from across the United States. Traffic incidents detailed in these reports have been confirmed to occur in this reality between five and ten minutes after the conclusion of the segment in which they are mentioned. These segments are irreverent in tone with the host often making jokes at the expense of those who will be injured or killed in the incidents.
The music segments of the program consists of songs with genres similar to those that exist in this reality such as rock, pop, country and hip hop. The subject matter in these songs consists of death, injury, maiming, mourning the loss of loved ones and other similar topics. Songs played during these segments and the bands that perform them do not exist in this reality. However, some songs played seem to be parody of songs that do exist in this reality. One such example is “The Dashboard Killed the Radio Star” seeming to be a parody of the 1979 song “Video Killed the Radio Star” by the band known as The Buggles.
The call-in segments feature individuals claiming to call from within the United States. While every State that has been mentioned during a call-in exists within this reality, the towns and cities that are mentioned do not. The individuals who call in give commentary on traffic incidents mentioned earlier in the show, make requests for certain songs to be played or make requests for traffic incidents to occur in a specific manner. Approximately 65% of traffic incidents requested during these segments occur in this reality within 24 hours of the request being aired.
Note: The number given to call into the anomalous radio program belongs to a daycare center in Columbus, Ohio. Investigation has shown no link between this daycare center and SCP-X or any other anomalous activity.
Discovery: SCP-X was delivered to Dr. Rupert Hill, a member of the Foundation, at their home address on July 12th, ████. The package contained SCP-X and a handwritten note. The note read, “Put it on an antenna and tune to 97.3 for the fun.” Dr. Hill followed the instructions in the note and placed SCP-X on the antenna of his hand radio and tuned to the station indicated. Under normal circumstances, the radio station broadcasting the frequency of 97.3MHz in the area was a classic rock and talk radio station.
Upon hearing the unfamiliar radio program, Dr. Hill removed SCP-X from the antenna at which point his radio began to receive the usual classic rock radio station once more. Suspecting the object had anomalous properties, Dr. Hill contacted the Foundation and requested an agent be sent to collect SCP-X and bring it to a Foundation facility for analysis.
Attempts to trace the origin of the package in which SCP-X was delivered have thus far been unsuccessful.
Sample transcripts of audio recorded from the anomalous radio program
Recorded: 14/7/██ 10:56:23
Host: All right, we’re coming up on 11AM and it’s time for a Traffic Breakdown!
*The words ‘traffic breakdown’ are distorted with an echo effect*
Host: It is a warm sunny day on 17th Avenue in the city of Santa Cruz, California. A local plumber named Kevin Vance should be happy about the good weather because…today is his birthday!
*An audio clip of children singing in a rhythmic, upbeat manner is played*
Audio clip: Happy happy birthday, too bad today’s your birthday. Happy happy birthday, you’re going to die today.
Host: Hey Kevin, was your birthday wish to be able to fly? If it was, then I’ve got some good news for you, buddy. The only downside is afterwards, you’re going to need a new windshield.
*A laugh track is played*
Host: That’s all the traffic we have for now, folks. Next we’ve got a block of songs coming up starting with “I’ve Only Got One Finger Left, Guess Which One It Is” by Thrice Crippled Old Men.
Recorded: 18/7/██ 14:43:04
Host: Hey, hey, hey, hope you enjoyed those songs. We got Crash coming at ya here with another Traffic Breakdown!
*The words ‘traffic breakdown’ are distorted with an echo effect*
Host: We’ve got a doozy coming up on Route 19 in Morgantown, West Virginia. We got a two-fer going with this one. Let’s just say Martin Caspers and his fiance Jennifer Black are going to have to change the venue of their wedding…to the graveyard!
*A laugh track is played*
Host: Oh, and it looks like Martin is a fellow radio DJ! So let’s give him the respect he deserves.
*An audio clip of the first 8 bars of the piece ‘Taps’1 being played on a kazoo is played*
Host: Next we’ve got Sheryl Connor driving on State Highway 288 in Almeda, Texas. Sheryl has been looking for a landscaper to take care of her front lawn. Well Sheryl, let me give you some advice. You see the landscaper in the truck ahead of you? Turns out they’re not very good at securing their tools, so you might not want to hire them. There’s nothing worse than someone showing up to a job missing tools. On the bright side, they keep their pitch fork plenty sharp!
*A laugh track is played*
Host: That’s all the traffic we have for now, my loyal listeners. We have another block of songs coming your way starting with everyone’s favorite dancing tune “I’d Tap My Foot If I Had One” by Drunkards With Chainsaws.
Foreword: The following is a transcript of a call-in segment from the anomalous radio program. The town of Colepepper Springs, Oregon does not exist in this reality.
Recorded: 2/9/██ 13:04:37
Host: Wow, for a song about blood loss that sure got me…pumped up.
* A laugh track is played*
Host: Let’s get into some listener calls-ins. If you want to call in to talk to good ol Crash you can hit me up at ████████. Caller, you’re on the air.
Caller: Hey Crash, I’m Bryan from Colepepper Springs, Oregon.
Host: Hey Bryan from Colepepper Springs, Oregon. How are ya doin’?
Caller: I’m alive and have a working car, so better than most of the people on your show.
Host: Oh! We got ourselves a zinger!
*A sound clip of a whistle than shifts upward in pitch over a period of apprximately 2 seconds is played*
Host: Alright, Bryan, what can Crash do for you?
Caller: Can I get a four car pile-up?
Host: A 4 car pile up? Yowza, that is a tall order, but I will see what I can do for you, Bryan.
Caller: Thanks Crash, you’re the best.
Host: I know it, buddy, I know it. Thanks for calling in and stay tuned to 97.3 ‘The Wreck’. We’ll be taking more calls in just a minute, so get to dialing them phones. But first, it’s time for a word from one of our sponsors: Burnson’s Cordless Cauterization2 Irons - When you’re bleeding out on the side of the road, think Burnson’s.
Recorded: 5/10/██ 17:25:04
Host: Wow that was a tight list of jams if I do say so myself, but now it’s time for another Traffic Breakdown!
*The words ‘traffic breakdown’ are distorted with an echo effect*
Host: We have an unseasonably warm day on Interstate 94 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Jeffery Tollst intends to enjoy it to its fullest by driving with the top down on his brand new convertible!
*An audio clip of the sound colloquially known as a ‘cat call’ whistle is played*
Host: Today Jeffery is going to learn an interesting fact. He’s going to find out what happens if you’re allergic to bees and accidentally swallow one. I think his case is unusual though. Yea, I’m not a doctor, but I don’t think high speed collision with a tree is a common side effect of anaphylactic shock.
*A laugh track is played*
Host: For that, Jeffery, you get today’s Funky Fatality Award!
*An audio clip of applause is played*
Host: Next up we got Stephanie Bly from Scottsdale, Arizona driving on North 96th Street. Stephanie just had a baby; a little girl named Suzie.
*Audio clip of several voices saying “Awww” is played*
Host: Yea…the good news is the delivery went by with no complications. The bad news is Stephanie didn’t read the directions on how to install the car seat quite right. I bet she’s going to be kicking herself for that. Well, at least she would if her legs still worked!
*A laugh track is played*
Host: That’s all the traffic we have for now. We got a spectacular block of songs coming your way starting with everyone’s favorite road trip song “Glass In My Eyes, Blood In My Mouth” by Fiendish Reaver.
Message thread from the SCP-X project
Foreword: The following is a message thread that took place between SCP-X project personnel on the Site ██ intranet.
Message from Dr. Sans posted 5/11/██ 01:12:37:
I propose we set up a task force to identify and prevent the traffic fatalities that are predicted via the anomalous radio program SCP-X allows access to. I believe this can be done easily and relatively cheaply. By my estimates, even if we could only prevent 50% of fatalities listed in the anomalous radio program, we would save approximately 4,500 lives per year.
Message From Dr. Lesk posted posted 5/11/██ 01:25:54:
I believe that proposal is utterly ridiculous. The amount of time between a fatal crash being announced and it occurring is far too small to effectively prevent them. We would have to set up dozens of bases of operation in every state to be able to reach the site of an incident and stop traffic before it occurs. Even then, it would require agents deploying from helicopters right into the middle of crowded highways. There is no way we could carry out these operations in a covert manner.
Message from Dr. Sans posted 5/11/██ 01:33:07:
Alright then, we could pass this information onto local law enforcements. They have the manpower already in place to stop these incidents from occurring. We could deliver the tips through entirely anonymous channels.
Message from Dr. Lesk posted 5/11/██ 02:07:32:
How would we convince local law enforcement that these incidents are going to occur? Even if they eventually realize that these anonymous tips will inevitably pan out, won’t they get suspicious that someone is able to predict the future? This plan puts the Foundation at unnecessary risk of exposure.
Message from Dr. Sans posted posted 5/11/██ 02:29:43:
We should do something. We have it within our power to stop the deaths of thousands of people per year. We can’t be sure if these people would die in the normal course of events or not. At the very least we should try and stop the incidents requested in the call-in segments as those seem to be the ones most likely caused by anomalous means.
Message from Dr. Lesk posted posted 5/11/██ 3:41:09:
If that is the case, the only thing that the Foundation can do is further study this object and devise ways to counteract its anomalous properties, and that is only if your assumption is true. We can’t be sure if the incidents requested in the call-in segments wouldn’t occur naturally as the requests are only fulfilled roughly half of the time. The Foundation deals with matters of much greater consequence than some thousands of people dying each year. Especially since many of these people die as a direct result of their own actions. There is a reason ‘secure’ and ‘contain’ come before ‘protect’.
Message from Dr. Sans posted posted 5/11/██ 04:07:45:
You are a cold hearted bastard, Lesk.
Message from Project Lead Dr.Gordon posted 5/11/██ 05:14:33:
I’ve heard enough. I’m not going to allow any attempts to prevent these fatalities. I do not like the idea of allowing preventable deaths to occur, but there are many reports in the Foundation’s database detailing exactly why we shouldn’t go running into a poorly understood situation half-cocked. If these deaths are indeed a consequence of SCP-X and not normal chance, there is no guarantee that preventing them from occurring won’t lead to even worse events. I have no evidence to back up this notion other than decades of experience watching measures that are intended to help back fire in horrendous ways. We will continue to study SCP-X and no more. Until we have a much better understanding of its anomalous properties, I don’t want to see any reports of Foundation personnel attempting to stop these fatalities come across my desk.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be housed in a standard humanoid containment unit. All furniture within the unit is to be modified to accommodate SCP-XXXX’s size and weight. In addition to standard dormitory furnishings, a metal workbench and a television are also to be provided.
Due to suspected infiltration of Site ██ by members of an as of yet unknown organization (see Addendum SCP-XXXX-e for incident report), two armed guards are now required to be stationed outside of SCP-XXXX’s containment unit at all times. Any personnel entering SCP-XXXX’s containment unit are to be searched for concealed firearms. If a firearm is discovered, the weapon is to be confiscated and the individual concealing it detained for questioning. Aside from searching individuals entering the unit, the guards stationed outside of SCP-XXXX’s containment unit are to report via radio to site kitchen facilities anytime SCP-XXXX requests additional food.
Any firearms modified by SCP-XXXX are to be kept in secure storage at Site ██.
Due to recent events, all testing of firearms modified by SCP-XXXX and any new firearms being modified by SCP-XXXX is strictly forbidden until further notice.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a morbidly obese white adult male augmented by several bionic implants of unknown origin. SCP-XXXX is 193 centimeters in height and 275 kilograms in weight. Medical staff notes that SCP-XXXX’s bulk, while substantial, does not account for the weight measured. It is theorized that the unaccounted for weight is due to the bionic augmentations on and in SCP-XXXX. Blood tests and a physical performed on SCP-XXXX upon arrival at Site ██ indicate that it suffers no major health problems stemming from its weight.
SCP-XXXX has the ability to modify firearms to perform, in some cases, well outside of their standard specifications. Though appearing to modify the firearms through mechanical means using the various tools at its disposal, examination of firearms modified by SCP-XXXX show little or no physical modification. Therefore, any firearms modified by SCP-XXXX are to be considered anomalous objects. Use of firearms modified by SCP-XXXX has been shown to incur deleterious effects on the operator of the firearm. For a log of the interview conducted after initial testing of a firearm modified by SCP-XXXX, see Addendum SCP-XXXX-c.
Note: Firearms modified by SCP-XXXX show no anomalous properties when fired through mechanical or robotic means.
SCP-XXXX will agree to modify any firearm presented to it in exchange for goods. Usual requests consist of pornography, snack foods, alcohol and recreational drugs. SCP-XXXX will also request a workbench if none is present. Once its requests have been fulfilled, SCP-XXXX will begin working on the firearm presented using the tools concealed within its bionic implants. The time required for SCP-XXXX to complete its modification of the firearm varies and has been recorded to range from 37 minutes to 7 hours and 23 minutes. For a sample of test logs of firearms modified by SCP-XXXX, see Addendum SCP-XXXX-b.
Note: SCP-XXXX will refuse any request to modify a firearm in a specific way. If such a request is made, SCP-XXXX will reply with: “It will come out how it comes out.” SCP-XXXX will also refuse to modify any weapon that does not meet the strict definition of a firearm such as gas or spring powered weapons.
The bionic implants SCP-XXXX is augmented with are as follows. An articulated arm, robotic in appearance and approximately 130 centimeters in length, is attached at the right scapula. It is able to extend forward over SCP-XXXX’s right shoulder and act as a third arm while performing tasks. It has been documented to contain several tools which can extend from the end of the arm. SCP-XXXX’s left eye has been replaced by a bionic implant. The eye appears to be fitted with an aperture with a lens made of an unknown black, reflective material underneath. The skin surrounding the eye is metallic in appearance and seems to be part of the implant. The capabilities and exact function of this implant are currently unknown. Though appearing unaugmented to the naked eye, SCP-XXXX’s hands and forearms have been heavily modified. SCP-XXXX has been observed extending tools from its fingers, palms and forearms while modifying firearms. Internal imaging has revealed that SCP-XXXX’s heart, stomach, liver and kidneys have implants of unknown effect both on the surface of and inside the organs. It should be noted that SCP-XXXX has not been observed using its visible bionic augmentations outside of modifying firearms.
SCP-XXXX is extremely lethargic and has been observed to sleep an average of 12 hours per day. While not sleeping, eating or modifying a firearm, SCP-XXXX spends the majority of its time sitting in the reclining armchair watching the television provided in its containment unit.
SCP-XXXX, though fed three times a day, often makes requests for additional food. SCP-XXXX seems to prefer to consume roughly 8,000 Calories per day. SCP-XXXX will eat any food provided, however, it has been noted to prefer foods high in carbohydrates and fats.
Note: Due to the fact that the only time SCP-XXXX was noted to display anger or aggression was when Dr.██████ suggested a change in diet and reduction in calories consumed in order to counteract any health problems before they begin, it is forbidden to make any attempts to put SCP-XXXX on a diet.
SCP-XXXX has made no attempts at escape since being brought into Foundation custody. It has only made one attempt to leave its room in order to find food after, due to an error in the facility’s kitchens, one of its meals was not delivered resulting in a 5 hour period of fasting.
Discovery:SCP-XXXX was brought into containment when Mobile Task Force Phi-7 encountered it during the exploration of a facility located ten kilometers outside of ██████, Georgia suspected to be the epicenter of anomalous activity in the area. SCP-XXXX was found in a housing unit that would be described as “filthy” and “a pig sty” in Phi-7 members’ mission reports. SCP-XXXX willingly accompanied MTF Phi-7 back to a Foundation facility after it inquired if there would be food present and Phi-7’s lead operative responded in the affirmative.
During the initial interview and all subsequent interviews, SCP-XXXX willingly provided any information requested with the exception of any details about it’s bionic augmentations, any details about the time prior to it being held at the facility it was found in aside from vague references to a ‘Father’ and ‘brothers’ ‘back home’, and any details about how it modifies firearms or how those firearms function outside of mentioning a ‘cost’ to operate them.
Addendum SCP-XXXX-a: SCP-XXXX initial interview
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr.██████
Foreword: The following is the interview conducted upon SCP-XXXX’s arrival at Site ██.<Begin Log: 10:13PM, 4th August, ████>
Doctor: Hello and welcome. Do you have a name you prefer to be called by?
SCP-XXXX: I’m The Gunsmith.
Doctor: Would you like me to call you that?
SCP-XXXX: You can call me whatever you want. That’s just what I am.
Doctor: Would you mind if I called you SCP-XXXX?
SCP-XXXX: Go for it.
Doctor: Excellent. I’m Dr.██████. Do you know where you are?
SCP-XXXX: Some sort of lab or something to do with research and development? I don’t
know. Your boys with those little pea shooters told me there would be food here.
Doctor: It’s being prepared right now. Can you tell us about the facility in which you were
found?
SCP-XXXX: They had good food there. They couldn’t pull off fried chicken to save their lives
though. It was always soggy. There’s nothing worse than soggy fried chicken.Doctor: Is there anything else you can tell me, perhaps something about the facilities
operations or who ran it?
SCP-XXXX: Some nice boys ran that place. I can’t say I ever caught their names though.
They liked their guns.
Doctor: Did the facility manufacture weapons?
SCP-XXXX: I can’t say if they made guns there, but they had a lot of them.
Doctor: So it was an armory?
SCP-XXXX: I couldn’t rightly say.
Doctor: Do you know where all the staff and items stored in the facility went? It was
empty when we found you.
SCP-XXXX: I guess the folks there must have known you boys were coming. They cleared
out awfully fast right before you got there.Doctor: Do you know why they left you behind?
SCP-XXXX: I don’t know if you can tell by looking at me, Doc, but I’m not exactly the quick
moving type.
Doctor: I see. How long were you at that facility?
SCP-XXXX: 597 hours.
Doctor: You know the exact number of hours?
SCP-XXXX: I sure do.
Doctor: How do you do that?
SCP-XXXX: Just something I have a knack for I guess.
Doctor: Is that one of the features of your augmentations?
*SCP-XXXX remains silent*
Doctor: Ehem, well. What did they have you do at that facility?
SCP-XXXX: Fix up their guns, what else?
Doctor: What did you do to the guns?
SCP-XXXX: Suped ‘em up a bit, added some extra bang, made them run a bit smoother.
Doctor: How many firearms did you modify during your time at that facility?
SCP-XXXX: I worked on 46 while I was there.
Doctor: Can you provide a list of the types of guns you modified and how many of each?
SCP-XXXX: I suppose.
Doctor: Very good, we will get to that later. How did you come to that facility?
SCP-XXXX: They brought me there.
Doctor: Where did they bring you from?
SCP-XXXX: Back home.
Doctor: And where is that?
*SCP-XXXX remains silent*Doctor: Were you alone there?
SCP-XXXX: No. I lived with Father and my brothers.
Doctor: Who is your father, can you describe him?
*SCP-XXXX remains silent*
Doctor: Ok, can you tell me about your brothers?
*SCP-XXXX remains silent*
Doctor: Very well. Can you tell me about your implants?
SCP-XXXX: Pretty fancy, aren’t they?
Doctor: Yes, they seem to be. Can you tell me how they work? How you got them?
SCP-XXXX: You know, Doc, it might be considered rude to pry into someone’s personal life.
Doctor: Very well. That is enough for now. I believe your meal should be ready.
<End log>
Addendum SCP-XXXX-b: Sampling of tests carried out using firearms modified by SCP-XXXX
SCP-XXXX-b-1:
Observer: Dr.██████
Firearm: M4 Carbine modified by SCP-XXXX
Operator: Security Officer ██████ - Male, 43, advanced levels of firearms training
Procedure: The firearm is to be loaded with standard 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition. Ten
targets are to be placed at a range of 50 meters from the firing line. Operator is to fire from a
standing position with the firearm unsupported. Ten magazines each loaded with 30 rounds of
ammunition are to be used. Each magazine is to be fired at its own target.
Results: Rounds fired by the modified firearm had a muzzle velocity measured, on
average, at 1067 meters per second, approximately 15% higher than would be expected for
the model of firearm and ammunition being used. Security Officer ██████ noted that the
recoil experienced when firing the modified weapon to be noticeably reduced compared to his
previous experience with firearms of the same type. Officer ██████ also noted a greater
ease of reloading the weapon stating: “It seems to suck the magazine in when you get it close
to the receiver.” The accuracy and precision of the rounds fired was recorded to be
approximately 10% greater than would be expected from the model of firearm being used, the
testing conditions and Officer ██████’s level of firearms experience. After firing eight of the
ten magazines present for the test, Officer ██████reported increasingly blurred vision.
Testing was halted and a complete physical was ordered for Officer ██████. It was found
that Officer ██████ had experienced a 17% decrease in visual acuity compared to his
most recent physical three months prior.
Notes: It seems that operating weapons modified by SCP-XXXX may be detrimental to one's
health. In future testing, I suggest only D-Class personnel should be used with precautions
taken to enable quick termination should the need arise. In the meantime, I suggest we
schedule an interview with SCP-XXXX to see if it can shed any light on what happened to Security
Officer ██████’s vision.
SCP-XXXX-b-4
Observer: Dr.██████
Firearm: Beretta M9 Pistol modified by SCP-XXXX
Operator: D-95327 - Male, 37, rudimentary knowledge of firearms operation
Procedure: The firearm is to be loaded with standard 9x19mm Parabellum ammunition.
Ten targets are to be placed at a range of 10 meters from the firing line. Operator is to fire
from a standing position with the firearm unsupported. Ten magazines each loaded with 12
rounds of ammunition are to be used. Each magazine is to be fired at its own target.
Results: The weapon performed within expected ranges for an unmodified weapon of the
same model. Accuracy and precision were noted to be within expected levels for a person
with D-95327’s experience at operating firearms. It wasn’t until magazine number six that the
first anomaly was recorded. D-95327 mistakenly pulled the trigger once all 12 rounds of
ammunition loaded into the magazine had been expended. Despite the fact that there
should have no longer been ammunition in the weapon, it fired. D-95327 was instructed to
continue firing the weapon until it ran out of ammunition. 37 rounds in total were fired before
the weapon ran out of ammunition. Each magazine thereafter fired 37 times before running
out of ammunition. After the 10th magazine had been emptied, D-95327 was instructed to
load the first magazine, which now appeared empty, into the weapon and attempt to fire it.
The weapon failed to fire. During its post test physical, D-95327 was found to have developed
a minor case of asthma as well as a minor allergy to latex. Both conditions were not present
during its physical two days prior.
Notes: This firearm requires more testing. Will it fire the same number of rounds even if
the magazine inserted wasn’t fully loaded? If a magazine with 12 rounds is loaded, will it
eject more than 12 rounds if the slide is pulled repeatedly? Also of interest is the full scope of
detrimental effects that these weapons have upon their operators. I’m going to request a
series of at least 20 tests to be carried out over the next month using this pistol and other
firearms modified by SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX-b-18
Observer: Dr.██████
Firearm: Barrett M9 Sniper Rifle modified by SCP-XXXX
Operator: D-38192 - Male, 28, military marksmanship training
Procedure: The firearm is to be loaded with standard .50 BMG ammunition. Four targets
are to be placed 400 meters from the firing line. Operator is to fire from a prone position with
the weapon supported on a bipod. Four magazines each loaded with ten rounds of
ammunition are to be used. Each magazine is to be fired at its own target.
Results: The first and only round fired was clocked with a muzzle velocity of ████.
Despite the shooting range in use being graded to handle heavy anti-armor weapons, the
round fired pierced the range’s backstop wall creating a hole approximately 3.5 meters in
diameter and continued for roughly 80 meters piercing no less than ██ half meter thick,
reinforced concrete walls. D-38192 was immediately terminated via an injection of sodium
pentathol from the control cuff it was fitted with prior to testing. The damage to Site ██
resulted in SCPs ████ and ████ breaching containment. A detailed autopsy of
D-38192’s body performed later revealed no discernable damage aside from that caused by
the sodium pentathol.
Notes: Crap. This is going to mean my ass. Two anomalous entities breaching
containment, millions of dollars worth of damage to the facility, ██ personnel wounded
and ██ more killed. Thank the powers that be the two escaped skips were
recontained before they exited the facility. I’m sure this means an end to my tests, maybe
even my time with the Foundation. How was I supposed to predict that SCP-XXXX could make a
man-portable rifle as powerful as the main god-damned gun of a battleship?
Addendum SCP-XXXX-c: Interview Log
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Researcher ██████Foreword: The following is an interview log recorded shortly after the first test using a firearm modified by SCP-XXXX.
<Begin Log: 8:06PM, 15th August, ████>
Researcher: Good evening, SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX: How’s it going, Doc?
Researcher: Oh, I’m not a Doctor. My name is Researcher ██████.
SCP-XXXX: Whatever you say, Doc.
Researcher: Yes, well…do you recall that M4 Carbine you modified four days past?
SCP-XXXX: Sure do. Did you boys get to try it out yet?
Researcher: We have.
SCP-XXXX: What’d you think? Enough boom for ya?
Researcher: The weapon performed beyond normal specifications, yes. Can you tell me how you modified it?
SCP-XXXX: Oh, it wasn’t much. Tightened a screw here, tweaked the firing pin there.
Researcher: So all the modifications you made to the weapon were strictly mechanical in nature?
SCP-XXXX: What else would they be?
Researcher: When we had our technicians examine the weapon, they couldn’t find any physical modifications.
SCP-XXXX: You weren’t looking hard enough then. I promise you, they’re there.
Researcher: Well, maybe you can shed light on something else then. When we had someone test the weapon you modified, they suffered some ill effects.
SCP-XXXX: Ohh yea, the cost. So what happened to the poor bastard?
Researcher: He suffered damage to his eye sight. What is this cost you mentioned?
SCP-XXXX: Come on, Doc, you’re no spring chicken. You’ve been around the block a few times. You should know that everything has a cost.
Researcher: I’m afraid I don’t know what you mean.
*SCP-XXXX sighs audibly*
SCP-XXXX: I make the gun able to do more, but all that extra pow has to come from somewhere.
Researcher: So its fuel is the operators, what would you call it, life force?
SCP-XXXX: I wouldn’t make it sound so fancy. It just takes something.
Researcher: Is it always eyesight?
SCP-XXXX: No, it can be anything: body, mind, soul. It can take it from anywhere.
Researcher: Your weapons can affect a person’s soul?
SCP-XXXX: Let’s just say that I’d be worried if it looks like someone got away with using one of my pieces scott free. Hey, how about we get some food in here? I’m starving. Fried chicken sound good?
<End Log>
Note: Due to the information gathered in the preceding interview, it is now standard procedure that testing with firearms modified by SCP-XXXX will be carried out using only D-Class personnel.
Addendum SCP-XXXX-d: Bulletin issued by Site Director ██████ concerning SCP-XXXX posted on 13th September, ████
Due to the recent incident involving the sniper rifle modified by SCP-XXXX, I am issuing a temporary ban on any tests using firearms modified by SCP-XXXX and any new firearms being modified by SCP-XXXX until proper testing procedure can be established. We are in a difficult situation here as we can not afford to expose our staff to the detrimental effects of these anomalous firearms and we also cannot safely place these weapons in the hands of D-Class personnel without knowing their destructive capabilities. I welcome any input on how we can go about creating testing procedures that can both protect our people and not put a weapon in a D-Class’s hands that might have enough destructive capability to level a city block.
Also, I have requested a Mobile Task Force be formed to locate and secure the 46 firearms SCP-XXXX produced before it was brought into containment. We can only hope that none of those weapons are as destructive as that damned sniper rifle. Until the task force is formed and finds some leads on where they might have been taken, we can only hope that the people who housed SCP-XXXX prior to the Foundation died off while testing the weapons. The last thing we need to worry about is some idiot running around with a pop gun that has the power of a nuclear bomb behind it.
While I’m on the subject of idiots, I can’t believe I have to put this into writing, but so long as I am in charge of this facility, we will not be giving one of these weapons to a monkey to test if it retains its anomalous properties when used by a non-human sentient being. I know some of you must have been waiting your entire lives for an excuse to hand a monkey an automatic weapon, but it will not happen here. Honestly, I should take all of you morons that suggested this and put you on cleaning detail for SCP-████.

Addendum SCP-XXXX-e: Incident report regarding suspected infiltration of Site ██ in regards to SCP-XXXX
Foreword: The following is a record of an incident that took place on October 21st, ████ at Site ██. It has been assembled from accounts of those involved as well as footage captured by site security cameras.
On October 21st, ████ at approximately 12:30PM during the delivery of SCP-XXXX’s lunchtime meal, Security Officer O’Brian, who was the guard on duty outside of SCP-XXXX’s containment unit, noted an odd rattling sound coming from the member of kitchen staff who had delivered the meal upon their exiting SCP-XXXX’s containment unit. The kitchen staff member would later be identified as Franklin Salazar, hereafter referred to as Mr.Salazar.
Officer O’Brian stopped Mr.Salazar and ordered them to submit to a search of their person. Officer O’Brian noted that Mr.Salazar’s left lower leg was a prosthetic and seemed to be the source of the noise. Officer O’Brian ordered Mr.Salazar to remove his prosthetic so it could be searched. Mr.Salazar appeared to comply with Officer O’Brian’s command and began to remove his prosthetic.
Once the prosthetic was removed, Mr.Salazar reached inside and drew out a Smith and Wesson Model 10 revolver chambered for .38 Special and fired 2 shots into Officer O’Brian’s chest at point blank range, incapacitating Officer O’Brian. Mr.Salazar then reattached his prosthetic, concealed the weapon in his uniform’s pocket and proceeded in an Eastward direction down hallway 5F with his suspected destination being the Southern exit of Site ██.
Nearby security personnel responded to the sound of gunfire and began to close in on Mr.Salazar’s position. The first Security personnel to encounter Mr.Salazar was Security Officer Davis. Officer Davis failed to note the handgun concealed in Mr.Salazar’s pocket and asked if Mr.Salazar had any information on the gunfire that had just occurred. Mr.Salazar drew his weapon and fired two shots at Officer Davis from approximately four meters distance, incapacitating Officer Davis. Mr.Salazar then turned Southward down hallway 2G.
Approximately 20 seconds later, Mr.Salazar encountered Security Officers Lopez and Grant who noted the non-Foundation issue handgun still in Mr.Salazar’s hand and raised their own weapons while ordering Mr.Salazar to throw his weapon down and raise his hands above his head. When Mr.Salazar failed to comply and began to raise his weapon, Officers Lopez and Grant opened fire striking Mr.Salazar five times in the torso and twice in the right arm. Mr.Salazar was incapacitated and would die approximately 30 minutes later from blood loss.
After inspection of Officers O’Brien’s and Davis’ wounds as well as damage sustained to the walls and ceiling where Mr.Salazar shot Officer Davis, it is theorized that the firearm was modified by SCP-XXXX to fire dozens of lead splinters similar to flechettes instead of a single round of ammunition. Officer O’Brian suffered extensive damage to the dermal and subcutaneous fat layers of his torso, but his wounds weren’t deemed to be life threatening. Officer Davis suffered damage to both eyes and would lose the majority of sight in his right eye and all sight in his left, but suffered no further injury other than approximately two dozen minor contusions spread across his face and upper body.
Mr.Salazar had been employed by the Foundation for 8 years. It is thought that Mr.Salazar had been compromised approximately 10 months prior to the incident due to changes in behaviour retrospectively noted by kitchen staff interviewed after the incident. How Mr.Salazar or an accomplice of Mr.Salazar’s was able to smuggle a weapon into the facility past security screening is still the subject of ongoing investigation.
An interview conducted with SCP-XXXX after the incident revealed that Mr.Salazar had smuggled the handgun into SCP-XXXX’s containment unit using his prosthetic lower leg while delivering SCP-XXXX’s breakfast on the day of the incident. Mr.Salazar bribed SCP-XXXX to modify the weapon using two grams of cocaine also hidden in the prosthetic. Mr.Salazar retrieved the weapon and stored it in his prosthetic when he returned with SCP-XXXX’s lunch.
SCP-XXXX was able to provide a list of all firearms it has modified while in Foundation custody. It was determined that while in containment, other than the revolver modified for Mr.Salazar, no firearms had been modified by SCP-XXXX outside of those approved by Dr.██████ and Dr.██████.
Whether Mr.Salazar acted of his own volition or was prompted to act by an outside entity remains unknown. However, due to the circumstances behind SCP-XXXX’s recovery, it is suspected that the group or organization that housed SCP-XXXX before it was brought into containment might have in some way coerced or convinced Mr.Salazar to act in a manner contrary to Foundation interests. Investigations into other possibly compromised personnel at Site ██ are still ongoing.
