Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard anomalous object locker at Site-19, and monitored by one (1) armed guard when not being used for testing.
Objects produced by instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be designated either SCP-XXXX-1-A (objects observed to exhibit anomalous properties) or SCP-XXXX-1-B (objects observed to exhibit no anomalous properties) and placed in one of the adjacent containment units (Locker-XXXX-1-A or Locker-XXXX-1-B, respectively).
Description: SCP-XXXX is a standard Compact Disc (CD) with the words, "FOR HISTORY 213[[footnote] History 213 was later discovered to be a course available at ███████ University. The course was an introduction to various dictators throughout history, and their campaigns for world conquest. [[/footnote]]" handwritten in blue marker across its surface. It was recovered with two (2) notes. the first note [See Document Transcript-01] appears to provide some information regarding the origin of SCP-XXXX. The second note [See Document Transcript-02] provides directions on how to operate SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties take effect whenever SCP-XXXX is placed in a working CD player, turned on, and given a command. SCP-XXXX will not begin operating until a subject interacting with SCP-XXXX vocalizes the full name/title of a well known dictator or conqueror from history. After the requested name has been stated, SCP-XXXX will begin to play an audio recording of the song, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by the band "Tears for Fears".
Before the lyrics of the song begin, SCP-XXXX will produce an entity henceforth referred to as SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 will always appear within a 10m radius of SCP-XXXX. Observation of the manifestation of SCP-XXXX-1 have proven unsuccessful, as it appears to only do so when not being directly observed. Video surveillance is also ineffective when attempting to record SCP-XXXX-1's materialization process, as the entity seems cognizant of such methods. SCP-XXXX-1 will not form until it has a sufficiently large enough "blind spot" in its manifestation radius. SCP-XXXX will simply begin to "skip" (i.e. replay the song's introduction repeatedly) before the lyrics start until these conditions are met.
SCP-XXXX-1 takes on the appearance of the dictator that was requested by the subject[[footnote]]After SCP-XXXX-1 manifests the CD that produces it appears to become inconsequential, with the removal of the CD or the CD player's power supply having no effect on the music or SCP-XXXX-1.[[/footnote]. SCP-XXXX-1 is always dressed in time period accurate clothing, but with a theme reminiscent of music videos of the 1980's. SCP-XXXX-1 will sing the lyrics of the song in the dictator's preferred language. All attempts to communicate with SCP-XXXX-1 have proven ineffective. After the song has ended, SCP-XXXX-1 will self detonate, producing varying amounts of glitter, smoke, and ribbons. Later analysis of these materials have shown them to be non-anomalous.
Each time an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 detonates, an instance of SCP-XXXX-2 is left behind. SCP-XXXX-2 are objects that SCP-XXXX-1 creates as a result of detonating. These objects vary widely in both appearance, and whether they are anomalous or not. Each instance of SCP-XXXX-2, seems to reference some form of trivia fact about the dictator SCP-XXXX-1 reflected prior to detonation [See Experiment Logs 1-4].
SCP-XXXX was discovered on 06/07/19██ in the office of Professor ██████ at ███████ University. It was recovered by Foundation agents after receiving a report of a student observing SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects shortly after Professor ██████ was terminated from his position at the university. The student and all other witnesses were administered Class B amnesiacs, and Professor ██████ is currently being tracked as a person of interest.
The results came back today, Abby. They all flunked the exam again, which means my job is as good as gone. It's a shame too. If I had just a little more time, I could have finished what I've been working on. I think you would've loved it. I wanted to surprise you with it after it was done, but at this point, I don't even wanna look at it.
I guess just too many bad memories you know?
Don't worry about me though. I'm fine. I'll find a way to mix my love of history and music some other way. I just have to do a little drifting until then. Figure out where I'm going now, you know?
Feel free to use it if you're interested, or hell, even finish it if you want. You're a good kid, Abby, and you're smarter than I ever will be. You're going to do great things.
Later Abbygator.

Research Notes:

- Attempts to burn additional songs onto SCP-XXXX is possible, though each song other than "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" has exceedingly poor audio quality consistent with extensive damage and erosion.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard anomalous object locker at Site-19, and monitored by one (1) armed guard when not being used for testing. Experimentation on SCP-XXXX is permitted by any personnel with Level-2 or higher security clearance.
When in use, it is advised that researchers use a large space of ~3m or more in diameter, unless the nature of SCP-XXXX's spatial anomalies are the topic of study.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a compact disc (CD) with the words, "The Conquest Connoisseurs proudly presents: Empire for Hire" printed on its surface. SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties activate shortly after it is placed in a working CD player, and the "play" button is pressed. Once activated, SCP-XXXX will produce four (4) entities designated SCP-XXXX-1-4, each of whom fulfills a specific role that would be found in a rock and roll band; each entity has the appearance of a deceased dictator from history [See Addendum-1]. The entities are dressed in clothing accurate to their respective time periods, but with an overall style reminiscent of clothing worn in 1980s American music videos.
If there is insufficient room for the entities and their equipment to manifest, local transmutation of the surrounding matter occurs, changing a diameter of (usually) ~3m into a performance stage. Any visual obstructions, (including walls, windows, doors, etc.) will be removed to ensure that the performance can be seen by the maximum amount of people in the immediate area.
SCP-XXXX appears to be a "cover-album", with twelve (12) popular songs from the 1980s [See Addendum-2] burned onto the disc. When played, the entities manifested by SCP-XXXX will begin to play each song in order as it appears on the CD. After the last song on the CD has been completed, the entities and their equipment will vanish, and the CD player will eject SCP-XXXX. Removing the power supply of the CD player, or removing SCP-XXXX from the CD player will result in the entities and their equipment de-manifesting. [NOTE: Any matter altered by the object's effects does not revert to its original state.]
SCP-XXXX was discovered in the office of Professor ███████, at ██████████ University, on [07-06-198█] after SCP-XXXX-1-4 manifested and "performed" in front of a large group of student and faculty members on top of a newly formed stage created from the matter found inside Professor ███████'s office. SCP-XXXX was recovered shortly afterward, and Class-B amnestics were administered to everyone that witnessed the affects of SCP-XXXX. The stage was quickly dismantled and removed, and a bomb cover story was created to explain the structural damages to the building. According to data recovered prior to containment, Professor ███████ was a history professor that was working on a way to combine his love of music with his love of history in a way that would enhance student learning. Professor ███████ was terminated from his teaching position shortly before the object's recovery, and is currently being tracked as a Person of Interest.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a concrete 2m x 2m x 2.5m containment chamber at Site-19. Any chamber not built to these specifications appears to make SCP-XXXX "anxious" resulting in increased activity and a possible relocation event.
SCP-XXXX is to be observed no less than three (3) times every twenty-four (24) hour period. Personnel entering SCP-XXXX's chamber are to give at least one positive remark on SCP-XXXX's appearance before exiting. Rapid, metallic sounds while not inside the chamber are to be reported immediately, and any available D-Class are to be sent in to ensure the chamber's structural integrity, and that SCP-XXXX has not breached containment.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a collection of U.S. mint one (1) cent pennies of varying amounts, (currently …) [Searching for info! Will return soon!]
