Containment Class:
euclid
The engine used to power SCP-XXXX-B, created by SCP-XXXX.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-B are to be kept in a standard 10m x 10m x 10m containment unit. SCP-XXXX is to be given access to SCP-XXXX-B once a week, given one (1)
Class-D personnel, and all new instances of SCP-XXXX-C that are created while SCP-XXXX is active on SCP-XXXX-B are to be seized and made unconscious immediately. The SCP-XXXX-C instances are then to be transported to Site-99.
Once at Site-99, all SCP-XXXX-C instances are to be placed into their containment chamber. The containment chamber in question resembles a theater. All SCP-XXXX-C instances are to be contained in the backstage area. They are only to be given the scripts of the plays that includes the character that the SCP-XXXX-C instance has taken on the personality and likings of.
SCP-XXXX-C instances will preform their respective play once per every week, and there is currently no known way of stopping their performances as of yet. At least twenty-five (25) Class-D personnel must attend SCP-XXXX-C's performances as to prevent any breaches. SCP-XXXX is to be placed backstage one (1) hour before the performance of the SCP-XXXX-C instances to help direct and present the performance. Once the performance is finished, SCP-XXXX is to be taken back to his containment unit, and all SCP-XXXX-C instances are to be escorted backstage.
Description:SCP-XXXX is genetically identical to humans, specifically famous 16th century playwright, William Shakespeare. SCP-XXXX appears to to be born in the late 19th Century, or the early 20th Century, and appears to have not aged since it was around 36 years of age. SCP-XXXX still retains most of the attributes of the 16th century playwright, including his writing capabilities, but SCP-XXXX differs in capabilities with its above average abilities when operating with and producing diesel engines.
SCP-XXXX-B is a large, approximately 5m x 5m x 4m diesel powered machine made mostly out of stainless steel that was created by SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-B has two openings, one labeled "Entry", and the other labeled "Exit". The openings remain closed for most hours of the week, only opening when SCP-XXXX is actively operating SCP-XXXX-B. SCP-XXXX-B's operating panel consists of a small switch labeled "Power". Pulling the switch downward will proceed to cause SCP-XXXX-B to begin its internal workings, while pulling the other way has the opposite effect. Next to the switch is a standard QWERTY keyboard. When SCP-XXXX-B is active and sentient organic material has been placed within it, SCP-XXXX will then use the keyboard to select a specific character created by William Shakespeare for the living material inside to take on the attributes of.
SCP-XXXX-C-1 through SCP-XXXX-C-84 are all genetically human, but have all had their cognitive functions shifted via the process of SCP-XXXX-B to act like a specific character created by William Shakespeare assigned to the SCP-XXXX-C instance by SCP-XXXX. All SCP-XXXX-C instances have a desire to preform, preforming the play that their respective character features in, along with all the other
SCP-XXXX-C instances whose respective character appears in that same play. They preform around once a week under supervision of SCP-XXXX. The total performance takes approximately 21 hours including all intermissions. If the audience grows to be less than 20 at any point during the performance or no stage is available, all SCP-XXXX-C instances will begin to "migrate" en masse to the nearest theater with an audience of 20 or greater.
Addendum XXXX.1; Cross-Interactions: Although SCP-XXXX-C instances typically will avoid interactions with other instances that don't share the same script as each other, but occasionally, Some SCP-XXXX-C instances will come on stage together and "merge scripts".
Cross-Interaction 1: The first known cross-interaction was recorded on 6/7/20█ between
SCP-XXXX-C-33, taking on the personality of Capulet from Romeo and Juliet, and SCP-XXXX-C-24, taking on the personality of the first murderer from Macbeth. The interaction was very brief, but proved that SCP-XXXX-C instances were capable of interacting between each other beyond those in their own script.
<Begin Log>
SCP-XXXX-C-33: You are a saucy boy. Is't so, inde-
SCP-XXXX-C-24: What, you egg?
(SCP-XXXX-C-24 pulls out a knife and proceeds to stab SCP-XXXX-C-33)
SCP-XXXX-C-24: Young fry of treachery!
<End Log>
SCP-XXXX-C-33 was wheeled off to a medical bay afterwards to treat its stab wounds. SCP-XXXX-C-24 was sedated and taken into the medical bay as well for psychological evaluation. It appears that all of what happened was completely scripted and was written by SCP-XXXX. The message or purpose of this short scene is currently unknown.
Cross-Interaction 2: The script of the second cross-interaction appears to be written completely by SCP-XXXX, with a changed, more modern writing style. A total of three SCP-XXXX-C instances appear in the short scene, those being SCP-XXXX-C-3 and SCP-XXXX-C-5, taking on the personalities of Romeo and Juliet, respectively, from the play Romeo and Juliet and SCP-XXXX-C-2, taking on the personality of Macbeth from the play Macbeth
<Begin Log>
(SCP-XXXX-C-3 is walking quickly and appears to be in a rush. SCP-XXXX-C-2 accidentally bumps into SCP-XXXX-C-3.)
SCP-XXXX-C-3: Oh, forgive me. I'm in a rush.
SCP-XXXX-C-2: You're excused… for now. One day when I'm more powerful than anyone could fathom, You'll regret this.
SCP-XXXX-C-3: Okay… I'll just go on ahead now. (SCP-XXXX-C-3 slowly walks towards
SCP-XXXX-C-5 and they run off stage together.)
The purpose of this short scene acted out between plays is as of yet unknown, but many researchers suspect that SCP-XXXX is creating its own script, though these suspicions remain unconfirmed.
Addendum XXXX.2: As of 2/18/20█, SCP-XXXX-C instances will no longer follow individual scripts, but follow one, 4 hour long script, created by SCP-XXXX. The script in question is titled The Tragedy of Us All, and features all SCP-XXXX instances, and appears to document how every living thing will end up dead and forgotten. A full view of of the script is currently unavailable due to the possibility of it containing memetic hazards. A full view will be available once a copy of it has been thoroughly checked. Listening to the script, though, seems to have no repercussions.
I currently believe that the script is alright for viewing. I would also like to request the viewing of the play as allowed for recreational use. ~ Dr. Mothmon
Request approved.
