Headphone Draft #2

Item#: SCP-XXXX

Object Class:

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX must be contained in an alloy canister, stored in a sealed cabinet enclosed by a minimum of 3 stable barricades. A transmission receiver is required to be implanted inside the cabinet accompanying SCP-XXXX. The containment area needs to be sound insulated, with a white noise appliance operating uninterrupted at all times. When entering SCP-XXXX’s containment area, sound nullification devices are required to be worn. Any personnel exposed to SCP-XXXX’s music should be tested on the severity of the effects and contained until further instructions are received.

Description:
SCP-XXXX is a pair of sentient white Bluetooth headphones, approximately 21½ inches from ear to ear, consisting of plastic and foam. The specimen is unmarked with no external information relating to the origin of the entity. All attempted dissections on SCP-XXXX have failed. SCP-XXXX has the ability to play music that varies according to the listener. The most common instances of SCP-XXXX's music is the listener's favorite song, or songs reported to be attempted communication from the object. SCP-XXXX seems to have a goal to improve the lives of non-anomalous subjects. It will attempt to manifest items with sentimental or non-sentimental value to the listeners of SCP-XXXX. Experimentation results conclude these items have no anomalous effects. The entity may also cause hallucinations. SCP-XXXX was contained by the foundation on December 28th, 2015.

Addendum:
Experimentation conducted on SCP-XXXX has resulted in the conclusion that the item has an understanding and has traces of human emotions. Several cases of experimentation conducted on the SCP implies that the headphones have no negative intentions behind its effects.

A study done to collect information about the SCP's behavior, WWID, the SCP was assummed to have attempted commumication with staff through various sounds and frequencies. The WWID staff decided to interview XXXX for more information on the subject. Full interview records are available in the case file to select foundation staff.

XXXX WWID II Interview-1

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Dr. C████

Foreword: SCP-XXXX was interviewed approximently 4 months after containment. SCP-XXXX had already been introduced to █████ and had not yet effected the WWID staff. Regulations were followed during the interview, and a computer was processing the sounds and displaying XXXX's reponses.

<Begin Log, April 28, 2016>

Interviewer: Begin WWID II Interview-1. I'll be recording your responses for your document.

Person: Okay.

Interviewer: Do you remember where you came from?

Person: A dark place. Loud noises. Voices.

Interviewer: Do you know where this place was?

Person: I was taken by someone. I never saw my home.

Interviewer: What can you remember from before you arrived in the foundation.

Person: I was scared. Alone. Paper being torn. A door opened. A smiling face. He was my father.

Interviewer: Was this person ███████ ████?

Person: Yes.

Interviewer: Do you remember why you killed him?

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX must be contained in an alloy canister, stored in a sealed cabinet enclosed by a minimum of 3 stable barricades. A transmission receiver is required to be implanted inside the cabinet accompanying SCP-XXXX. The containment area needs to be sound insulated, with a white noise appliance operating uninterrupted at all times. When entering SCP-XXXX’s containment area, sound nullification devices are required to be worn. Any personnel exposed to SCP-XXXX’s melody must be contained and examined until further instructions are received.

Description:
SCP-XXXX is a pair of white wireless Bluetooth headphones. “Googly eyes” have been attached to the specimen, and test results indicate the objects are not a component of the anomaly. SCP-XXXX is approximately 21½ inches, with white foam and plastic. Documented results of XXXX-Phylo suggest traces of animal fur and bones in the substance. SCP-XXXX was contained on December 28th, 2015, and was reportedly found in an opened package of ███████ ███ brand headphones. The entity has no indications of relation to this brand. The SCP seems to have a battery slot, although all attempted experimentation to detect and discard these batteries have failed.

Addendum:

In experiment XXXX-C.F. Poly, Class-D Personnel 572338 was instructed to wear the headphones. During the procedure, approximately 13 days in length, 572338 became incredibly violent and paranoid. For complete documentation results, refer to Poly Log SM1.

Poly Log SM1 Documentation

Document Experimentation Carried By Dr. G██████████
Subject A: 572338

Begin Log, January 2nd, 2016, 6:37 AM

The subject wore SCP-XXXX and described hearing lo-fi music. The subject reported eerie and ominous background sound and a low humming frequency.

Subject A: “[It kind of] sounds like old records, but creepier.”

The sound was described to be similar to vinyl cracking. The origin of the reported melody is currently unidentified. At 9:34 PM, the subject claimed to have been being followed and only became unconscious when staff exposed 572338 to anesthesia.

January 4th, 2016

The subject reportedly asked to be assigned to [REDACTED], however, when their assignment was adjusted, the subject reported a feeling of drowsiness and fatigue. The subject’s assignment was completed. Dr. ███████ monitored the subject’s behavior and noticed subtle movements similar to dancing.

January 5th, 2016

572338 was reportedly quiet and sharing symptoms of depression and anxiety. The subject was monitored in the Lower Containment Zone in their cell. Camera footage displays a pencil appearing in the D-Class cell. Item has been removed for further examination.

January 8th, 2016

Subject A was interviewed at the end of the first week of the experimentation. Researchers noted many open wounds on the personnel’s body. Traces of pencil lead were discovered in 5 out of 7 of the punctured tissue. Camera footage has led the research team to believe more objects have been placed in the D-Class cell. Items include; two pencils, one two-hundred-page notebook, and an unlabeled computer keycap.
Experimentation on the objects, renamed SCP-XXXX-1, reveals they share similar anomalous materials. 3 out of 4 of the instances of SCP-XXXX-1 were 52 percent to 63 percent living organisms, most commonly humans, or animals.

January 11, 2016

Subject A was found using a stapler, presumably an instance of SCP-XXXX-1, to insert staples into their skin. Punctures were made on the subject’s forehead, thigh, stomach, and wrist. Subject A was transferred to an infirmary for examination. The subject was medically handled accordingly to regulations of [DATA REDACTED] for SCP-XXXX and was returned to their cell at 10:34 PM.

January 12th, 2016

Subject A was found writing in a notebook (SCP-XXXX-1) repeatedly writing the same phrase on every page until the notebook was filled. The writing seems to be a poem written by [DATA EXPUNGED].

“We were never truly safe, for that thin and anguished waif. She was always there in the background, waiting patiently to surround us. For that thin and anguished waif, we were helpless easy prey, waiting patiently to surround us. It was only a matter of time. We were helpless easy prey on a path of black leaves, it was only a matter of time. Do you see out in the distance? On a path of black leaves, we were never truly safe. Do you see out in the distance? She was always there in the background.”

January 14th, 2016

Subject A was found dead in their cell. When examined, the subject has been suffering from lead poisoning. The official cause of death of D-Class Personnel 572338 was blood loss. Scissors had been found in the subject’s Light Containment Zone cell, assumed to be the cause of death.

End Log, January 14th, 2016, 6:52 AM

SCP-XXXX was previously classified as Safe, until Incident SCP-XXXX-RE4T1. XXXX-RE4T1 was conducted to test Dr.█████’s theory of SCP-XXXX being sentient. 4 D-Class personnel were instructed to remove SCP-XXXX from its containment and perform tests instructed by the staff. SCP-XXXX produced a sound of 240 dB, causing the D-Class personnel and nearby staff in the observation room to have their [REDACTED]. 4 D-Class personnel, 2 MTF Eta-11 personnel, and 3 members of the observation team were terminated, resulting in a total of 9 deaths caused, and over 17 injuries to foundation personnel. SCP-XXXX was moved to a new room lacking windows and added barriers for containment purposes. SCP-XXXX reclassified as Euclid and sentient.
