SCP-XXXX - SCP Sandbox III

Authors' Resources

Per the greenlighting policy, first-time authors must get concepts reviewed in the Ideas Critique Forum or IRC chatrooms before creating a feedback thread in the Drafts and Critique forum. Draft critique can still be sought via IRC and PM without greenlights.

When you have a draft that you know for sure the audience will like, bring it to Drafts Critique Forum. Please note that the forums move much slower than the chat, and the draft forum moves slower than the ideas forum!

The mainsite-run IRC chatrooms are the most reliable source of real-time critique discussion.

SCP-XXXX

Item#: XXXX

Level3

Containment Class:

safe

Secondary Class:

none

Disruption Class:

dark

Risk Class:

warning

Special Containment Procedure: SCP-XXXX is to kept in archival storage at Site 11. Within archival storage, SCP-XXXX should be stored separately from all other archival media, as to avoid anyone accidentally taking it from the archives. The drawer that SCP-XXXX is contained in should have a bio authentication lock affixed to ensure only researchers assigned to the object may access it.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a cassette tape from 197█ recorded by Henry [REDACTED]. The tape's content is unknown, as any person who hears the tape undergoes complete mental breakdown within 10-30 seconds of the tape stopping, leading to either suicide or complete organ failure due to internal Hemorrhaging within the next 2 minutes.

Digital Recording is also ineffective as a means to analysis the tape, as the files immediately and irreversibly corrupt the hard drive they are stored on. Out of 10 attempts to record the audio for analysis, 9 of them have resulted in complete hard drive failures, and 1 has resulted in a complete system failure.

SCP-XXXX Test 1

Subject: D15686, Male, 35

Test: Effects of Exposure to the A side of SCP-XXXX

Procedure: D15686 was exposed to SCP-XXXX for 1 minute of the A side of the tape.

Results: 10 seconds after SCP-XXXX stopped playing, D15686 collapsed on the floor of the containment room, clutching at his head. Medical staff entered the room to try and sedate and subdue D15686, but were quickly over powered. D15686 then used the needle of tranquilizer to commit suicide by injecting it directly into his heart

SCP-XXXX Test 2

Subject: D65895, Female, 26

Test: Effects of Prolonged Exposure to SCP-XXXX

Procedure: D65895 was exposed to SCP-XXXX for the full 23 Minutes of the A side of the tape.

Results: 24 seconds after SCP-XXXX stopped playing, D65895 began to scream and claw and her face. Medical personnel were able to subdue D65895, but not before her internal organs began to shut down from internal brain hemorrhaging. Due to D65895 not having any prior medical conditions, it is believed this organ failure and hemorrhaging was caused by exposure to SCP-XXXX
