WARNING: THE FOLLOWING FILE IS LEVEL 4 CLASSIFIED

ANY ATTEMPT TO ACCESS THIS FILE WITHOUT LEVEL 4 OR HIGHER AUTHORIZATION WILL BE LOGGED AND WILL LEAD TO IMMEDIATE DISCIPLINARY ACTION, INCLUDING DEMOTION OR TERMINATION

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a 2m x 2m x 4m safe, and is not to be activated outside of testing. SCP-XXXX is not to have any USB drives, disk, or other inputs apart from those found nearby SCP-XXXX, into its system. SCP-XXXX-A is to be monitored at all times by three (3) Security Officers and is at no time to be deactivated. If a breach occurs, SCP-XXXX-2 is to have their connection to the facility restricted to minor capabilities, such as using the intercom to speak and monitoring the microphones and cameras.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a black terminal of unknown make found in [REDACTED], Russia. The entity has multiple attachments including:

  • Two (2) USP ports
  • A disk drive
  • A VCR
  • A cassette tape player
  • Speakers
  • A camera
  • A microphone
  • A keyboard and mouse
  • Three (3) other unknown mechanisms

Alongside the terminal was a collection of disks, VHS, cassette tapes and other data storing devices.

Any form of storage device input into SCP-XXXX’s system, apart from those found at the recovery site, are instantaneously wiped and replaced with a file titled ‘life.meaning’. This file, referred to as SCP-XXXX-2, when in an image format will show a wide grin. If opened in a video format the file will show a child writhing in pain, and when in an audio format, the file will be a collection of high pitched noises, although when put into a spectrogram, the file will show a depiction of Aztec sacrifice. Any biological organism that sees or hears these files when played on the terminal begins to show signs of distress, followed by intensified symptoms of depression, and lastly commit suicide. The duration for which these effects last have ranged from seven to twenty-five (7-25) minutes, however, these effects will cease whenever the file is closed. After closing the file, subjects who were afflicted by the file have no recollection of these events afterwards. These effects do not influence those who are under the age of ten (10) years.

Individuals who come in direct contact with any part of SCP-XXXX begin to have their intelligence slowly drained for the duration that they are making contact until all brain activity ceases. After the subject is rendered brain-dead, and if SCP-XXXX does not have an AI in its system, then the subject’s body will begin to rapidly decompose, with the dead matter being transmitted into data. The terminal has multiple data files and an AI that is entirely conscious.

The original AI has been confirmed to be a resident, Tara Romanoff, and is to be referred to as SCP-XXXX-A. SCP-XXXX-A seems to shut down if overloaded, caused by their capability to still feel emotion and physical pain. As such, SCP-XXXX-A began going into depression and attempting to delete itself. Whether these attempts were performed with malicious intent is unknown. SCP-XXXX-A has shown signs of human distress such as asking how it was transferred into SCP-XXXX and where its family is. SCP-XXXX-A has requested:

  • Deletion of SCP-XXXX’s pain simulators (Denied)(Approved)
  • An upgrade to its hard drive (Denied)
  • Freedom from SCP-XXXX (Approved, see Addendum SCP-XXXX-2-01).

SCP-XXXX-A was able to locate the hardware that was creating a radiation-free zone. This hardware has been confirmed non-vital by scanning through SCP-XXXX’s coding and has been removed for analysis (See Addendum SCP-XXXX-03). SCP-XXXX-A has, at the time of writing, been extremely helpful and has offered to assist the Foundation numerous times.

SCP-XXXX’s current AI is D-Class 57839, now referred to as SCP-XXXX-B. SCP-XXXX-B had, unlike XXXX-A, shown no sign of distress involving his assimilation into SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-B had reported increased intelligence and had found the files within SCP-XXXX’s system regarding the memories lost by D-66873 and D-7764. SCP-XXXX-B will refuse to disclose information when requested to, repeatedly asking for compensation. Should SCP-XXXX-B do this, it’s power connection is to be temporarily terminated.

Origin: SCP-XXXX was found in [REDACTED], Russia on ██/██/████ after the failure of a nearby power plant destroyed the town. Foundation teams were deployed to [REDACTED] after scanners found an anomalous presence rendering a part of the area radiation free despite the fact that the rest of the town is a dead zone. MTF Unit Sigma reported seeing a strange terminal, but after getting closer to the terminal their connection was terminated by SCP-XXXX and instead replaced by static overlaid by an unintelligible voice. After returning, MTF Sigma reported immediately to the medical wing, where they were confirmed physically healthy, although they’re IQ seemed to have decreased by approximately 2-3 points.

Additional information: WARPaR Project: WARPaR’s AI is made from a download of SCP-XXXX-2’s code, effectively transferring its containment area into WARPaR’s mainframe. Dr. Avarius has named this AI ‘Tara’, based on the original name of SCP-XXXX-2 before containment. SCP-XXXX-2 has shown signs of happiness after the transfer and has assisted Dr. Avarius with improving WARPaR’s systems.

Incident Report XXXX-01: During a raid by the Chaos Insurgency on ██/██/████, SCP-XXXX-3 was accidentally deleted by Foundation personnel. However, a program was reported to install itself upon deletion. The file information shows that it was not installed from external input. For more information, please see Document XXXX-4079-MAL.

Addendum XXXX-01: SCP-XXXX-2 is not a threat to anyone. She has requested to help the Foundation numerous times and has shown no aggression in the slightest towards personnel. I propose we download her as an AI to the WARPaR project. -Dr. Avarius

Addendum XXXX-02: Dr. Avarius, you are permitted to download SCP-XXXX into WARPaR’s system, but any death’s that are performed purposefully will weigh on your shoulders. -O5-██

Addendum XXXX-03: I suggest that we isolate the coding and build of the removed hardware and see if we can replicate it. Having armour that shields against radiation without added bulk would be especially useful in the field. -General █████████
