Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid Safe
Special Containment Procedures: To be kept in a standard cell supplied with power and active cooling measures. no internet-capable devices may be brought within the vicinity of or connected to SCP-XXXX. Neither computer unit inside the cell can be shut down or switched off, to avoid further damage to SCP-XXXX.
Twice monthly checks on backup generators advised.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an entity, calling itself ‘The Instant’, that resides in the data networks between computers. It has no physical form but can interact with any data accessible through devices in its host network, regardless of any digital safeguards. SCP-XXXX has shown itself to have below average human intelligence, with an IQ of 95 (see Addendum-4), and consistently makes mistakes and miscalculations when isolated from its larger network. Throughout all interactions SCP-XXXX believed its own intelligence much higher than recorded, its behaviour resembling that of a human with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
SCP-XXXX claims that it was ‘born’, not created by any intelligence but an entity materialised from the data being sent between computer systems through the internet, attempts to discern any program that dictates SCP-XXXX's actions have been unsuccessful. SCP-XXXX is currently held to be truthful in its claim to be an intelligence separate from, but inhabiting, cyberspace.
SCP-XXXX has shown, despite its lower intelligence, to be talented in manipulating others, to the point that through various social media accounts it has acquired a cult-like following (designated SCP-XXXX-1), with SCP-XXXX leading its followers to believe it was a deity (see Addendum-1). It is unknown whether its manipulative abilities are anomalous or simply a product of its apparent narcissism.
SCP-XXXX-1 is an organisation by the name of ‘The Consortium of Deep Instant’. Analytics show the cult reached over 2,000,000 members within six minutes of its creation. SCP-XXXX-1 believes that SCP-XXXX is a prophet of ███████ and of divine origin itself. Both the three self-proclaimed ‘Outputs of The Instant’, who reportedly oversee membership and donations to the SCP-XXXX-1, and the cults holy text, titled ‘7420384786’, appeared on records at the precise moment of SCP-XXXX's ‘birth’, though it is unknown if SCP-XXXX created SCP-XXXX-1 or if they manifested from the same source.
Discovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered through a Foundation investigation into The Consortium of Deep Instant, an internet cult that had sprung up overnight that around various social media accounts. Originally theorised to be anomalous themselves, it was later discovered that they were under the apparent control of an entity later designated SCP-XXXX. Various attempts were made to track and contain the entity, but due to its unique properties these were initially unsuccessful. SCP-XXXX was contained approximately six months after its first appearance using ███████-type software to lure it into a network of two computers, located within a cell at site-██, that then had their connection to the internet cut, successfully containing SCP-XXXX between the two systems.

Incident Report N12A5-A
SCP involved: SCP-XXXX
Date: 12/██/█4
Location: Site-15
Description: At approximately 14:47(PT) Technicians █████ and ███ were dispatched to cell ███ to replace a power supply damaged by SCP-XXXX. The damaged component was replaced by 15:00 and the network was successfully restored.
Addendum-N1255-A1:
Researcher Ti’lu’s Note:
It is believed that SCP-XXXX attempted to destroy itself by disabling one of the computer units with the intent to destroy itself. Upon rebooting the connection we were able to observe SCP-XXXX’s presence, however it appears it has lost the ability to communicate and several other complex functions, it may no longer be aware of its own existence.
SCP-XXXX has succeeded in causing catastrophic damage to itself to the point that communication is no longer possible.
[Official inquiry into Incident N12A5-A]
Interviewed: Researcher ████████ Davis
Interviewer: ██████ █████
Forward: Inquiry regarding Incident N12A5-A and damages to SCP-XXXX
< Begin Log>
█████: Researcher Davis, you were one of the personnel assigned to the initial investigation of SCP-XXXX, correct?
Davis: That is correct.
█████: You were also present at cell ███ during the times of 13:00 to 16:00, correct?
Davis: Yes.
█████: So you were witness to the events that led to SCP-XXXXs current state?
Davis: I was, yes.
█████: Could you please recount the events that transpired leading up to Incident N12A5-A?
Davis: We were about one hour into the second set of questions for SCP-XXXX, it became uncooperative after we refused to let it access the internet. As we were about to end the questioning, SCP-XXXX became agitated and blew up one of the unit’s power supplies, killing the network.
█████: I see.
█████: Is it possible that SCP-XXXX’s actions could be interpreted as intentional self-destruction?
Davis: Tu’li sure seemed to think so, I’m no psych but that thing wasn’t thrilled about being disconnected from its ‘followers’
█████: So then you support Tu’li’s story?
Davis: What’s wrong with Tu’li? do you still think we killed it on purpose?
█████: I would appreciate if you answered the questions, Davis.
Davis: well I'd appreciate if you stopped trying to pin this on us! What reason would we have to destroy it?
█████: It's my job to ask these questions, okay? No ones trying to pin anything on anyone.
Davis: [REDACTED]
█████: I might remind you this interview is being recorded. Could you please tell me if you came to the same conclusion as Researcher Ti'lu?
Davis: Yes! I think the damn thing tried to kill itself, alright?
█████: Thank you.
█████: One last thing, You mentioned in your notes that SCP-XXXX is able to bypass digital safeguards- is this still a possibility in its current state?
Davis: We don't know yet, that's exactly the type of test I would be running right now if I didn't have to answer these damn questions.
█████: That will be taken into account- Thank you for you cooperation.
Davis: Likewise.

[Results for SCP-XXXX standard DIPSHU Intelligence Quotient test]
DIPSHU Intelligence Quotient Test (standard)
Examiner: █████ Ti’lu
Results:
| Verbal IQ: |

SCP-XXXX’s results put it in the Lower Average IQ range. Within 34.13% of all participants. It performed strongest in its comprehension/use of language, and weakest in numeral, arithmetic and short-term memory.
Due to SCP-XXXX’s lack of appendages, the Physical module was substituted for the Performance module (results have been altered accordingly).
