Item #: SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-2
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: It is advised to store SCP-XXXX in a low security containment chamber, with no guarding needed. However,
SCP-XXXX-2 is recommended a High-Security holding cell, away from all intelligent life, with a select few being granted access to SCP-XXXX-2 for reasons of testing on D-Class personnel. These select few include [REDACTED].
Description: SCP-XXXX is a television with an approximate 115 centimetre (45 inches) diagonal length. It weighs approximately 25 kilograms and has several power cables plugged into the back of it.
These power cables appear to be standard power cables that insert into the back of an average television, except they metamorphosise to fit into any socket they are presented with.
When the cables were plugged into a socket, the television immediately turned on, and the D-Class subject observing it sat down on the floor of the chamber, watching the unknown programme on SCP-XXXX’s screen. We do not yet know what this programme is, but it appears to show whoever has direct line of sight with it whatever they most desire.
SCP-XXXX can be turned on and off using a remote that was found alongside SCP-XXXX (henceforth SCP-XXXX-2). Whenever SCP-XXXX is unplugged,
SCP-XXXX-2 has no effect on SCP-XXXX, but instead, the effect on the button will be redirected onto the subject holding SCP-XXXX-2.
Incident The red power button is pressed
Result The subject collapsed onto the floor, dead. Cause of death, unknown.
Incident The volume buttons were pressed
Result The subject’s voice was increased or decreased dependant on which button was pressed
Incident The Change-Channel button was pressed
Result The mood of the subject changed immediately
If a subject is observing SCP-XXXX and the power is turned off, they will begin to beg to whoever is nearby for the television to turned back on. If this is not done within 30 minutes, the subject will begin clawing at their neck, screaming that they need SCP-XXXX to be switched back on. If after an hour, the television is still off, the subject will try to cut their neck, using whatever is close. If there are no nearby usable objects, then the subject will scratch their neck until they die of haemorrhaging or asphyxiation.
After a full inspection of SCP-XXXX-2, there is a slot for a battery at the back. When this battery was removed to be studied, it gave off huge amounts of beta + radiation, with no apparent harm befalling whoever is exposed to this radiation.
Therefore, due to its harmful nature, it is recommended that SCP-XXXX is kept away from all intelligent life. However, we are trying to arrange a test with SCP-049, colloquially known as “The Plague Doctor”, to see what it makes of SCP-XXXX-2.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: No special safety measures are required for SCP-XXXX, and any of its requests, within reason, are to be granted. Requests that cannot and should not, in any circumstances, be allowed to SCP-XXXX include being contained within another SCP’s enclosure/containment cell. SCP-XXXX is to be held in a standard humanoid containment chamber with regular meals brought to it.
SCP-XXXX is also to be released regularly, as it has a fondness for exercising via walking once every two days. Otherwise, SCP-XXXX is to only be released during a containment breach, or if a request it makes is deemed acceptable by the head-of-project at that time. It is being considered to give SCP-XXXX full access to site-19, except the containment cells of Euclid/Keter class anomalies.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a benevolent testudine quadruped. It shows no ill will towards Foundation personnel and is even helpful at times, such as during a containment breach, if its requests are adhered to a reasonable level.
The only image of SCP-XXXX, colloquially known as "Echo", that is available at this clearance level.
SCP-XXXX possesses human-like intelligence and is even capable of direct speech, although it is unwilling to do so, only happening in very special cases. On these cases, there was a containment breach, or it has agreed to give staff some information about itself, such as its anomalous qualities, including, but not limited to, [DATA EXPUNGED].
Although it does not appear to need sustenance, SCP-XXXX enjoys eating. Some of its favourites include hard cheeses, having a preference for English Cheddar, grapes and Coca-Cola. once every week, it has a desire for a larger meal, often being an American T-Bone Steak and Chips or a stuffed-crust Double Cheeseburger pizza from the local Spicy-Crust Pizza. SCP-XXXX will refuse to drink low-sugar cola, or diet colas, and will refuse to eat Marmite and onions. SCP-XXXX has been known to eat upwards of 6500 calories in one sitting, suffering no ill effects other than, in its own words, "a bad stomach".
SCP-XXXX is remarkably fast, reaching recorded speeds of up to 55 meters per second under controlled circumstances. SCP-XXXX has maintained it can travel much faster than this in open spaces where it has a much longer distance to travel.
SCP-XXXX’s body is roughly 90 centimetres in length, but its tail is roughly two meters in length. This tail has an appendage on the tip that SCP-XXXX can detach and use for whatever purpose is required. Although this appendage seems sharp and pointed, SCP-XXXX has let staff examine it, and it is highly unlikely that one will cut themselves on this appendage. The Foundation has not yet been able to weigh SCP-XXXX, as when it is placed onto scales, the reading was zero. This has led to several theories, including that SCP-XXXX may have no mass at all. When questioned, SCP-XXXX did not reveal whether it did have no mass, or if another reason made the scales malfunction.
SCP-XXXX also appears to have two small wheels on its midriff, where its hind legs should be. It is believed that this allows SCP-XXXX to achieve its high velocity. These wheels do not appear to have any power, only moving when SCP-XXXX moves, acting as stabilisers.
SCP-XXXX’s main use for its tail appendage is to reshape it, as if it were made of clay or another modelling substance. It mainly reshapes this into words, specifically sound effects. The language of choice is English, but SCP-XXXX can write in Traditional Chinese Hanzi, Japanese Kanji and sveral other major European languages. When a living creature comes into contact with these sound effects (which SCP-XXXX will stick onto walls, floors and other surfaces) the action the sound effect describes will happen to the creature that touches it. An example of this is ██████████████.
These effects have proved very helpful during containment breaches, as the high-intelligence of SCP-XXXX allows it to use its appendage in a variety of complex and creative ways.
Incident SCP-███ breached containment
Solution SCP-XXXX was released from containment
Result SCP-XXXX placed the sound effect “Vroom” onto the floor. This gave several staff a burst of speed to help them escape from the escaped anomaly.
Incident A member of staff fell several stories from a high-up walkway
Solution SCP-XXXX was doing his fortnightly exercise around Site-19
Result SCP-XXXX used his tail-appendage to write the sound effect “Boing” onto the floor. When the falling member of staff hit the floor, he was bounced back up to the walkway that he fell from and survived the fall with no damage done to him. He was severely reprimanded for his impotence and punished likewise.
SCP-XXXX was discovered on the █th November 20██, on the outskirts of a suburban area of ██████████, Japan. A civilian noticed strange markings on the ground, which were later discovered to be several words in the English alphabet. The local police were telephoned, who contacted the Japanese Armed Forces, who, in turn, contacted the Foundation. MTF Lambda-12 was sent as a precaution to the area, who captured SCP-XXXX with relative ease, one member suffering minor blunt trauma injuries.
Log begins roughly 1 kilometer away from the settlement in question. Two members of Lambda-12 are sent to investigate a possible anomaly on the outskirts of ███████████. L1 is armed with a Flamethrower and an M16 Carbine Rifle. L2 is armed with a General Purpose Belt-Fed Machine-Gun (GPMG). L2 spots the strange marking on the ground, which he recognises
L2 My god… Cooper, you seeing this?
L1 bends and looks at the marking Looks like it says "Thwack". Just some local hooligan learning English probably. Waste of our time.
L2 No, Coop. This isn't paint. this is actually stuck to the ground
L1 Nice spot, Maretti.
L1 runs his fingers over the marking and as soon as he touches it he recoils and holds a hand to his helmet which has a visible dent in it
L1 Fuck! That hurt…
L2 Coop, you ok?
L1 Yep i'm fine. This is an anomaly we are dealing with. Stay frosty
L2 Will do
L1 and L2 begin to patrol the area, looking for signs of the anomaly. They spot an area of grass that has been flattened as if something has been dragged across it
L1 This way. If it comes for us, give it a blast from the Gimpy
L2 Roger.
They follow the trail which leads them to a small crater in the ground. L1 and 2 peer into it and see a small creature which looks like a green turtle with an abnormally large tail. L2 shoulders the GPMG and yells
L2 Don't move!
L1 As if this thing speaks English, mate.
Anomaly As it happens, i do.
L1 Shocked W-Well, by the order of the SCP Foundation, we are taking you into custody. If you resist, we will open fire and we will attempt to terminate you
Anomaly Ah, yes. I thought they'd come for me eventually. Well, don't worry. I will not put up a fight. I will come quietly as long as i am not mistreated. I wish you no harm, but if you keep pointing that ugly thing at me i will attempt to terminate you Laughs to itself
L2 You understand that we have to give you sedatives? Company policy mate.
Anomaly Yes, i thought so. Sighs Go on then.
L1 levels a small rifle at the anomaly, and shoots twice. The small darts hit their mark and the anomaly collapses to the floor
L2 Base, this is Lambda two. We have the anomaly sedated. Its coming quietly. Will explain fully at the debrief, over.
The log ends
Addendum: SCP-XXXX’s efforts have not been always beneficial to staff. For example, it once used the word “Sizzle”, which severely injured several personnel by causing them to spontaneously combust. Furthermore, SCP-XXXX also used the word “boom”, which accidently killed several staff when someone accidently touched it, causing an explosion which killed 9 and injured many more. SCP-XXXX should be approached with caution even though it does not wish to cause purposeful harm. All personnel should take great care where they put their feet when working alongside SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX can be accessed with a level 2 clearance, and if it has a request, the head-of-project should be seen regarding it. SCP-XXXX knows that its requests should be reasonable, and while it adheres to this, it is granted relative freedom.
Addendum II SCP-XXXX is only to be referred to as “Echo” while it is present. Otherwise, use the title SCP-XXXX.
