Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7305 is to be housed in a dual-chamber humanoid containment unit at Site-17, modified to include significant sound isolation. The two chambers are designated as follows:
Primary — This is to be SCP-7305's living quarters.
Secondary — This is to be SCP-7305's classroom.
The primary chamber is configured in a similar fashion to that of a children's daycare. Furnishings include plastic slides, blocks, and hiding places. This chamber's walls, ceiling, and floor are covered with childish cartoon-like drawings and stickers (including rainbows, clouds, suns, smiley faces, and so on) notably around music (notes, guitars, drums, treble clefs, and others). At the primary's chamber back stands a wood stage raised about 1 meter from the ground, accessible by small stairs, with small red curtains and dark-painted walls, ceiling, and floor.
The secondary chamber is smaller than the primary and is furnished with the following:
- One small carpet, chair, and table for each instance
- One portable standing whiteboard with markers
- One A/V system
- One teacher's desk and chair
Instances of SCP-7305 are authorized to roam within Site-17 areas accessible with Security Clearance Levels 0 to 1 under Dr. Al's supervision, except when Dr. Al is not present on the site. In this case, they need to be contained in their containment chamber. Despite this, Level 2 (or above) personnel can still visit SCP-7305 within its containment while accompanied by a guard. SCP-7305 is also not to be brought near any personnel offices or any anomaly containment chambers.
Tracking devices have been installed on all instances of SCP-7305 and are not to be removed except with the approval of Dr. Al and another Level 4 or higher Site-17 security or MTF personnel.
In the event of a significant incident at the facility of Site-17, SCP-7305 instances have learned to quickly return to their containment chamber and hide until Dr. Al comes back to them.
Description: SCP-7305 is a collective of four five spherical creatures.
Apart from their color, their appearance is the same, consisting of a spherical and soft body 50 cm in diameter with a small face in the middle including two small eyes, and a small mouth. They also all present what would appear to be a significant auditory system with large horizontally slanted ears up to 15 cm in length on each side of the head. They also have another pair of smaller ears (10 cm long) below the others. Within instances of SCP-7305's ears are long, delicate fibers.
In the appearance of SCP-7305 instances, only the color changes:
- SCP-7305-A is pale yellow.
- SCP-7305-B is pale brown.
- SCP-7305-C is pale red.
- SCP-7305-D is pale pink.
- SCP-7305-E is pale blue.
SCP-7305-E is smaller than the other SCP-7305 instances (its body is about 20 cm in diameter), and its ears are not fully grown and developed, which may explain its difficulty in producing sounds compared to the other instances of SCP-7305.
SCP-7305 instances can produce a large variety of sounds including musical instrument sounds from all the musical instrument classification categories. They can modify the pitch, volume, equalization, and diverse other sound parameters of these sounds to create different versions of these, notes, and melodies.
Instances of SCP-7305 can also reproduce a sound after hearing it only once. They seem to have a large memory capacity, which makes them capable of producing all the sounds they know or have heard at any time.
Each SCP-7305 instance seems to have a favorite type of sound for general purposes and everyday communication. Here is a table presenting all sound profiles of each SCP-7305 instance and several examples of instruments according to their favorite instrument category.
INSTANCE DESIGNATION: |
INSTRUMENT CATEGORY: |
EXAMPLES OF INSTRUMENTS: |
SCP-7305-A |
Bowed string instruments |
Violin, cello, erhu, … |
SCP-7305-B |
Wind instruments |
Saxophone, pan flute, clarinet, ocarina, … |
SCP-7305-C |
Idiophone percussion instruments |
Xylophone, marimba, steel drum, … |
SCP-7305-D |
Keyboard instruments |
Piano, organ, synthesizers, … |
Likely due to its younger age, SCP-7305-E does not seem to have a preferential sound profile like the other instances of SCP-7305. For the moment, the sounds it uses for communication and general purposes are often high-pitched by instruments from all categories, such as the flute, the violin, the xylophone, or the theremin.
SCP-7305 is docile and poses no threat to humans at any time. The friendly company of human beings or other creatures seems to be vital to them. Without the company of another individual for several hours, SCP-7305 instances will become sad or anxious. They will feel significant emotional distress and lose their desire to produce many sounds. They will remain more and more silent over time.
Addendum 7305-1: Discovery:
SCP-7305-A to SCP-7305-D were discovered in an abandoned factory of the famous toy retailer brand Toys "R" Us in [DATA EXPUNGED] (USA). SCP-7305-A to -D were first discovered by private security agents employed by Toys "R" Us on 09/06/2020 at around 8:40 a.m. after hearing several sounds that seemed to be that of the guitar, piano, drums, violin, harp, and other musical instruments inside of the facility. Subjects reported being surprised after encountering SCP-7305 as they thought they would see a group of teenagers. SCP-7305-A to -D next moved toward them and the security agents decided to call the police. Police officers arrived and took them to the local police station. Foundation's agents listening to police communications chose to send a recovery team to their destination to bring SCP-7305 under the Foundation's custody. Arrived there, the team recovered SCP-7305 and administered Class-A amnestics to all individuals who were in contact with SCP-7305.
Addendum 7305-2: SCP-7305-E's birth:
On 11/16/2022, SCP-7305-D split itself, giving birth to a new small blue instance of SCP-7305. The result was then designated SCP-7305-E. The process was caught on SCP-7305's containment chamber's surveillance cameras at 4:32 p.m.
This event created the hypothesis that initially before the discovery of SCP-7305, there was only one instance, which gave birth to another, which repeated the process, and so on until today.
The qualification of SCP-7305 as self-replicating is pending.
Addendum 7305-3: Classes and on-stage performances orchestrated by Dr. Al:
Note: SCP-7305 instances have a significant ability to learn quickly.
Class #1 - Music theory class:
LAST FILE UPDATE: 07 Jun 2023 06:18 by Dr. Al
SCP-7305 - Music Theory Class
Orchestrated by: Dr. Al
In this class, SCP-7305 instances learn with Dr. Al how to make music, for example by learning how to manipulate sounds to create chords and melodies, recognize notes and chords, or even read basic musical scores, to make music together.
• ACQUIRED:
A numbered list of what SCP-7305 instances already know how to do thanks to Dr. Al in ascending chronological order:
- Recognize, reproduce, and create basic rhythmic patterns using whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eight notes, sixteenth notes, and rests.
- Recognize, reproduce, and play musical patterns using basic beatboxing.
- Recognize and reproduce notes from the ABC music notation (C, D, E, F, G, A, B).
- Assimilate the notes (C, D, E, F, G, A, B) to their corresponding letter (when they are asked to play a C, they will directly play the note instead of going through the intermediate stage of the sound reproduction).
• BEING ACQUIRED / IN PROCESSING:
A bulleted list of what SCP-7305 instances are currently learning during Dr. Al's class which are in the process of acquisition:
- Directly recognize and produce chords, arpeggios, and scales without trying to recognize or reproduce each note.
- Complexify rhythmic patterns.
- Recognize and produce sharps or flats when directly instructed to.
• FUTURE PROJECTS:
A numbered list of what SCP-7305 instances will learn in the future with Dr. Al to diversify their ways to play and understand music in ascending chronological order:
- Play basic musical scores using ABC notation.
- Start thinking about basic musical improvisation.
- Be able to read notes on a standard musical score.
Class #2 - General learning class:
LAST FILE UPDATE: 07 Jun 2023 06:18 by Dr. Al
SCP-7305 - General Learning Class
Orchestrated by: Dr. Al and Dr. Christopher
In this class, SCP-7305 instances learn how to correctly live and make their way amid Site-17, the Foundation, and humans, with Dr. Al, accompanied by Dr. Christopher. They also learn how to do a few little tricks.
• ACQUIRED:
A numbered list of what SCP-7305 instances already know how to do thanks to Dr. Al and Dr. Christopher in ascending chronological order:
- SCP-7305 instances know to return to Dr. Al after he whistles or makes a loud sound.
- SCP-7305 instances already know to start or stop producing sounds on Dr. Al's order.
- SCP-7305 instances know to go to a specific nearby location when pointed out by Dr. Al or Dr. Christopher.
- SCP-7305 instances know to quickly return to their containment chamber and hide after hearing any on-site alarm, gunshot, or other very loud sounds.
- Say hello! Please refer to document Addendum 7305-4.
• BEING ACQUIRED / IN PROCESSING:
A bulleted list of what SCP-7305 instances are currently learning, during this class, which are in the process of acquisition:
- Stand in a specific formation (such as a circle or line) when directly instructed to do so (and not after placing each instance one at a time), or after a human has mapped out the position.
- Do basic tricks based on dog education or even military training when directly instructed to do so.
- Make sounds corresponding to something in English (like a sound language translatable into English). For example, when they make a specific sound, it means that they ask to go somewhere, they ask where is Dr. Al, or others. For now, it consists of alerting personnel of something (panicked sounds) and expressing feelings (happiness, sadness, fear, angriness, agreement, and disagreement).
• FUTURE PROJECTS:
A numbered list of what SCP-7305 instances will learn in the future with Dr. Al and Dr. Christopher in ascending chronological order:
- Complexify the sound language.
- Learn other words.

SCP-7305 Musical Performances:
On 12/19/2022, during the Foundation's annual banquet for Christmas and other end-of-year celebrations entitled "A Secret Conspirascious Paranormal Christmas", Dr. Al and SCP-7305 were appointed to make the music and thus revive the atmosphere of the banquet through their compositions and their interpretations of existing songs. They had previously rehearsed these several times before presenting in front of a large audience of Foundation personnel gathered in Site-169.
Here are listed several examples of songs SCP-7305 and Dr. Al played during the banquet:
- Jazz songs, composed and arranged by Dr. Al to accompany the atmosphere of the banquet.
- Jingle bells, with Dr. Al and many other personnel singing.
- All I Want for Christmas Is You, by Mariah Carey, with Dr. Marple singing on lead, accompanied by several other voices.
- Many other Christmas songs including Last Christmas (by Wham!), We Wish You A Merry Christmas, and many others.
The Jingle Bells SCP-7305's presentation was really interesting. After playing and singing the chorus several times, SCP-7305-B decided to make a basic saxophone improvised solo, which shows very well the impressive results of the class conducted by Dr. Al.
Addendum 7305-4:
LAST FILE UPDATE: 11/22/2022 by Dr. Al
SCP-7305 instances managed to learn, by themselves or thanks to Dr. Al, several syllables or often repeated small words in their surrounding, including "hi", "hello", "good", "a", "an", "the", and many others, since their first contact with human beings.
From now, SCP-7305 instances will say these as normal sounds automatically in completion of, for example, when they meet a new person, object, or living creature, after a class, or just randomly. They don't seem to understand the meanings of these words, which from now on remain ordinary sounds for them.
They also succeed in modifying the pitch and other parameters of these sounds, even if a significant tone or accent from personnel who SCP-7305 took the sounds from can be heard when produced.
Site-17 security direction has noticed that, as SCP-7305 is capable of perfectly imitating human voices, it could be used to confuse voice-recognition security systems and bypass them. They restricted the authorized SCP-7305's roaming areas to those accessible with Security Clearance Levels 0 to 1 and have forbidden those above this level and/or presenting any potential voice-recognition system. This includes personnel offices and anomaly containment chambers.
Tracking devices have also been installed on all SCP-7305 instances to monitor their movements.

Subject: Thank you very much for the costumes!
Hey, thank you very much for the cute Christmas costumes you made for SCP-7305! You know, they were amazing during their performance at the banquet!
To: Dr. Al
From: Dr. Rosin
Subject: Re: Thank you very much for the costumes!
It was pure fun to do, I'm glad they enjoyed them, and I'm so happy you enjoyed them too! I've seen how you succeeded at the banquet last time, playing and improvising on Christmas songs, it was really amazing to listen to! You did a great job with them! I am very impressed! Congratulations!
To: Dr. Rosin
From: Dr. Al
Subject: Re: Thank you very much for the costumes!
Thank you very much! Well, you know, I've been playing, practicing, and studying music a lot in my free time aside from my work at the Foundation: it's a perfect way for me to de-stress from my particular obscure and stressful job! You know sometimes it's quite difficult to stay focused on my work and sometimes when I go home, I really need to chill out and put my work apart from my thoughts just for several hours. But all these obligations, all the things I have to stay focused on, all the jobs I need to do for sometimes the really next day, I generally haven't any time available for this, for music. But when we discovered SCP-7305, all this changed! Since I was at the foundation I've never seen any anomaly that could help me that much! You know, since the first time I studied them, SCP-7305 instances have always succeeded in mixing my passion and my work, and this is the best thing that would ever happen to me now! Since they arrived at the foundation, I've never been this excited to go to work, and, when I'm home laying in my bed ready to sleep, I'm no longer stressed by the question "will I be able to get home safe the next day"… you know… now I can just chill, think about music, and dream about what will I do with them the next day…
