Doctor Small- Sound Machine

Item #: SCP-4789

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4789 is contained at Site-20 in a locked transparent soundproof case with the only key secured in a safe in Security Room 64. The only time this key should be accessed and the case opened is when testing SCP-4789.

Description: SCP-4789 is a Sony Walkman TPS-L2, including headphones, that has a intricate painting of an oak tree encircling the front and back of the unit. SCP-4789 contains a unlabeled cassette tape which has been designated SCP-4789-A. SCP-4789 when used in conjunction with SCP-4789-A plays the song "After the Love Has Gone" by Earth, Wind, and Fire.

Upon any individual(s) hearing this song, their skin has runes of an as yet unknown language, believed to be Latin in origin, appear on it as well as a hallucination where a man in a grey suit¹ appears in the room with the individual(s). Viewing this hallucination causes all individuals who have runes on them to begin to display signs of a severe panic attack. The hallucination cannot be interacted with, nor does it attempt to interact with any individuals who can see it. Subjects describe feeling an aura of disapproval from the hallucination towards them during all interaction with the hallucination. Upon removal of the tape, unplugging of the headphones or pushing of the pause or stop button this hallucination ceases to exist.

When containing any cassette tape other than SCP-4789-A, SCP-4789 acts as intended and does not display any anomalous properties, the same is true if SCP-4789-A is played in any other cassette player other than SCP-4789. SCP-4789 is powered through interaction with any individual upon which SCP-4789 has placed runes and must be provided with two AA batteries before commencing testing with any individual that has not previously interacted with SCP-4789.

SCP-4789 was obtained along with SCP-4789-A by Foundation agents on 02/17/1997 in Boring, Oregon from the former residence of Mary Nobody². Foundation agents were dispatched after a 911 call was placed and a post was made online by the current residents of the property claiming they discovered a Walkman that "drove their son crazy". Upon arrival the Foundation agents delivered Class-C Amnestics to the family and officers on scene. The individual who was exposed to the anomalous effects of SCP-4789 was taken into custody along with SCP-4789 and SCP-4789-A, this individual was deemed SCP-4789-1 and was interviewed upon delivery to Site-20.

Mary Nobody: Alright, you're John right? You found my Walkman, correct?

SCP-4789-1: Wait, what? I thought you were a-

Mary Nobody: A researcher right? For now they think I am. I really don't have time for idle chit-chat, so I'll tell you what I think you and the Foundation should know since this is being recorded.

SCP-4789-1: This is weird. The guards will notice then we'll both be-

Mary Nobody: No time. I've got a schedule I'm trying to keep John.

[Mary Nobody proceeds to look at her watch and frowns.]

Mary Nobody: Alright, my name is Mary Nobody and you, John, are currently at a job interview. I am an anomalous individual that operates alone. I am also interconnected with a Group of Interest the Foundation has interacted with called Nobody. This short speech is to give you an idea of exactly what you will be doing and simultaneously provide information to the Foundation on who I am as well as what I intend to do. You interacted with my Walkman, this inadvertently made you into a battery for the Walkman as well as a person of interest for the Foundation, my father, and I. In short, I am not on good terms with my father and wish to beat him at his own game. Like you John, I was created to be a tool for my father's purposes but unlike you I was never asked if I wished to live the life I was forced into. I didn't intend to create you and would like to apologize for the current circumstances you are in by asking you to join me. You can consider it a job if you want, minus the benefits of pay. I create anomalous objects in my spare time, that's why the Walkman exists and I simply forgot to move it out when I left.

[SCP-4789-1 stares confusedly at Mary Nobody who glances at her watch occasionally.]

Mary Nobody: So, your job is to help me play keep away from my father and the Foundation. I need an answer soon, we're running out of time.

SCP-4789-1: Wait, wait. So you created that Walkman?

Mary Nobody: Yeah. That's what I just said. I still need an ans-

SCP-4789-1: Why did it show me that vision if I'm just supposed to be a damn battery then? What the actual fuck is the purpose of that!?

[SCP-4789-1 visibly starts to shake with terror as a man in a grey suit can be seen appearing in the corner of the room.]

Mary Nobody: What are you looking at?

[Mary Nobody turns to see Mr. Nobody has appeared in the corner of the room.]

SCP-4789-1: Fuck me! Fuck this!

Mr. Nobody: Mary, this is unacceptable. I created you to help me with my work not to make a fool of yourself.

[SCP-4789-1 can be seen experiencing a severe panic attack and Mary Nobody has stood from the interview table to face Mr. Nobody.]

Mary Nobody: Fuck you! I won't let you treat me like a goddamn object anymore! The reason why John is like this, why I'm like this, is your fault Dad! If you hadn't made me feel like garbage maybe I wouldn't be doing this! Have you ever thought about that?!

Mr. Nobody: You are pushing the blame onto me when I have done nothing but try to use your abilities for good.

Mary Nobody: You shoved me in a room and left me to rot while you ran around chasing things you deemed more important than me! I'm a person, I'm somebody! And what about Mom huh?! Where is she?! Why'd she leave us!? You told me she "found something more important", tell me what is more important than your own damn daughter!?

[SCP-4789-1 passes out from stress and an alarm bell sounds in the facility causing both parties to cease conversation.]

Mary Nobody: Look at what you did!

[Mr. Nobody dissipates from the room as Mary turns her attention to SCP-4789-1. Mary Nobody looks down at her watch as there is banging heard from the entrance of the interview room.]

Mary Nobody: Fuck, fuck, fuck! John I know you're unconscious but your hired!

[Mary Nobody looks up at the camera within the interview room and mouths the words 'Nobody is here' at it before dissipating along with SCP-4789-1.]

[+] Open Addendum Incident 4789-02

Incident 4789-02 refers to the security breach experienced at Site-20 after the arrival of SCP-4789, SCP-4789-A, SCP-4789-01, as well as two anomalous entities who have been classified Ms. Somebody³ and Mr. Nobody. Upon transfer of SCP-4789-01 to Interview Room 234, Researcher Sue was shown on security footage to be knocked unconscious by Ms. Somebody who hid Researcher Sue's body in a nearby sanitation closet and donned her clothing becoming almost indistinguishable from Researcher Sue physically. When questioned about this footage and how this raised no alarms, all security personnel assigned to Security Room 43 claimed during the time shown in the footage everything was perceived to be normal. It is yet unknown if this is an anomalous trait of Ms. Somebody or incompetency on the part of security personnel⁴. Security Room 43 has subsequently been checked for mechanical and technological issues due to this security breach and the report regarding the security check has been designated SC-4789-02-1. As of now it is unknown how Mr. Nobody appeared in Interview Room 234 as well as how he escaped the facility. Facility Janitor Phil Hartman discovered the body of Researcher Sue shortly after the appearance of Mr. Nobody within Interrogation Room 234 and immediately notified security personnel who reacted accordingly.

Due to the anomalous nature of Mr. Nobody and Ms. Somebody we have no strategies to contain them or capture them. SCP-4789-01 has been re-designated as POI-4789-1⁵. POI-4789-1 is believed to have been captured by Ms. Somebody, who has been designated POI-4789-A, and his retrieval is of the utmost importance to the Foundation at this time.

[+] Open Addendum 4789-03

Information regarding Ms. Somebody is sparse but what the Foundation has discovered is medical records from Grant Medical Center of one Mrs. Stacy Nobody being admitted to the hospital for pregnancy. Records show that Ms. Somebody was born as Mary Nobody on 08/17/1975 with no complications and was taken from the hospital the day after her birth by both parents with no event. The information deemed to be important in identifying Ms. Somebody as well as her blood related relatives has been included below.
