Due to his gross unprofessionalism, Director Elias Clarkson has hereby been placed on administrative leave, effective immediately. During this time any personnel members at Site 09 currently experiencing severe depression and/or feelings of regret, are to submit themselves for full psychological screenings. Additionally all personnel currently experiencing extreme grief, or the recent death of loved one(s), are not to enter Site 09 until they have received proper treatment and/our counseling.

Item#: 8000
Level2
Containment Class:
safe
Secondary Class:
none
Disruption Class:
vlam
Risk Class:
caution

Special Containment Procedures: Currently SCP-8000 is contained in a 98 square meter hangar located at Site 09. Due to the events surrounding SCP-8000-3 testing has been permanently suspended. Personnel are not to attempt to use SCP-8000 without the express consent of Dir. Clarkson acting Dir. Stanhope. Items dispensed by SCP-8000 currently in containment are to remain in standard non-humanoid hermetically sealed containers. Personnel experiencing feelings of regret, longing, or remorse are not to interact with SCP-8000 under any circumstances, and are to instead report for full psychological evaluations.


Description: SCP-8000 is the current designation for a standard 243 cm by 259 cm, red titanium storage container. SCP-8000 appears to be worn, with the paint appearing to have been peeled off on the upper left, lower right, and center left corners. Although SCP-8000 appears to be heavily battered, it is otherwise structurally sound. The upper portion of SCP-8000 bears markings similar to symbols used by the Oneiroi Collective, although they appear to have been crudely painted on. Aside from testing, SCP-8000 cannot be opened, nor can any recording devices function upon being placed inside of it.

Attached to the rear of SCP-8000 are a series of twenty-four electrical cables, all but six of which are connected to the left, right, and top of SCP-8000. The rest of the cables are attached to what appears to be a modified EEG cap, henceforth referred to as SCP-8000-1. Although a wooden bed frame was initially attached to SCP-0000, it was determined that as long as SCP-8000-1 is used by the subject, where they sleep is irrelevant,1 provided that at least most of the electrodes remain attached to a subject's head. If the subject successfully enters R.E.M sleep while wearing SCP-8000-1, they will be immediately presented with an Apple II computer henceforth known as SCP-8000-2. SCP-8000-2 will only manifest within the affected subject's dream, and manifestation will interrupt any dream currently in progress.

SCP-8000-2 itself displays only one command, the word "Request?" Upon entering their requested item, the subject will proceed to dream normally and will receive their item upon awakening. However, it is theorized that the subject will not receive an item if it is too large to fit inside of SCP-8000. Furthermore SCP-8000-2 will not manifest before subjects who do not or are not experiencing intense feelings of regret, or remorse. Due to this, instances dispensed by SCP-8000 are usually of a personal and/or meaningful nature to the subject(s) in question. However, subjects not experiencing regret(s), or subjects who ask for an item unrelated to their regret(s), will instead receive an error message asking them to "try asking again later."

Discovery:

SCP-8000 was first brought to the Foundation's attention after a pamphlet for the "Irio-Neo clinic" was discovered on the windshield of Dir. Clarkson's car.2 It is currently unknown as to the origins of the pamphlet, nor if its original owner had any knowledge of Dir. Clarkson's involvement with the Foundation. Below is a transcript of the pamphlet.


Following the discovery of the pamphlet, the Foundation investigated the listed location of the Irio-Neo clinic, and discovered an office space, which was theorized to have not been used since the late 1970s. Furthermore despite finding several more pamphlets for the clinic, as well as miscellaneous patient records, no other anomalies were discovered. SCP-8000 was found in the loading dock with a large tarp placed over it, however it was recovered with no issues. Following recovery, testing commenced, overseen by Dir. Clarkson and Dr. Stanhope.





Shortly after the last interview Dir. Clarkson viewed the tape, henceforth referred to as SCP-8000-3, in order to ascertain its contents.


Addendum:

Following his viewing of SCP-8000-3 Dir. Clarkson instructed personnel to deliver the following written message to the site of SCP-8000's discovery.
