SCP-4151

Item #: SCP-4151

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4151 is to be kept on direct watch by at least two on-site Level 2 personnel. Due to the anomalous nature of SCP-4151, instances of the entity dematerialising
are to be reported to any on-site Level 4 personnel immediately.

All staff with the intention to visit SCP-4151 must have written permission from at least one on-site Level 3 personnel. All tests and interviews involving SCP-4151 and SCP-4151-1 must be approved by at least three on-site Level 4 personnel.

Description: SCP-4151 is an ice-cream parlour located in ███████████, Singapore. It was discovered by the Foundation on August, 2010.

SCP-4151's primary anomalous attribute is its ability to dematerialise and phase out of reality for an inconsistent amount of time. SCP-4151 has, however, always returned to its primary location and has not been reported to appear anywhere else. Length of absence has ranged from two days to up to seven months (see Addendum 4151-B, Incident #2).

SCP-4151-1 is a middle-aged male of Chinese descent with a name tag that reads "Tang O. Shang". SCP-4151-1 is ever present within SCP-4151 and has not been observed to leave its position from behind the counter of SCP-4151. SCP-4151-1 has also never been observed to eat, drink or sleep.

Addendum 4151-A: Test logs of SCP-4151

Test #1: Subject D-3108 attempts to purchase an ice-cream cone. Dr Horwitz, Dr Fischer and Colonel Lang observing

<Begin video log>

D-3108: (approaches SCP-4151 cautiously. He is visibly nervous)

D-3108: (to SCP-4151-1 in a shaky voice) Uhhh. I'd like a butterscotch please, one scoop.

SCP-4151-1: (Begins to scoop out ice-cream from a can, the contents of which cannot be seen by the camera) You sure you don't want to try our new flavour, microchip cookie dough? You'll love it!

D-3108: Yea…I'll pass.

D-3108: (pays SCP-4151-1 with the money given to him by Dr Horwitz and leaves)

<End video log>

Test #1 report. From the audio recordings of Dr Horwitz.

<Begin audio log>

Dr Horwitz: The purchase made by D-3108 appears to be an entirely ordinary butterscotch ice-cream cone free of anomalous properties. Video footage did strongly suggest, however, the presence of an ice-cream flavour termed as "microchip cookie dough" by SCP-4151-1. Dr Fischer and I shall be submitting a proposal for further testing on SCP-4151 to Captain Holebas and his associates, as per containment protocol.

<End audio log>

Test #2: D-3108 attempts to purchase a microchip cookie dough ice-cream from SCP-4151. Dr Fischer, Dr Horwitz and Colonel Lang observing.

<Begin video log>

D-3108: (approaches SCP-4151, he is clearly less nervous than before)

SCP-4151-1: (sees D-3108 and smiles) Oh, you again! So what'll it be this time?

D-3108: I'll have a microchip cookie dough…please.

SCP-4151-1: Good choice! (SCP-4151-1 proceeds to scoop out ice cream from a can, the contents of which, again, cannot be seen by the camera)

SCP-4151-1: Oh yeah, your three friends watching us from behind those bushes. They want any ice cream?

D-3108: (At this, D-3108 is taken by surprise. Subject is told by Colonel Lang via earpiece to play along)

D-3108: Yeah, sure. What do you recommend?

SCP-4151-1: (ponders for a few seconds) According to my calculations, I'd recommend a cherry chocolate for the soldier, a rainbow liquorice for the gent in the middle, and a cucumber for the old guy, he's got to watch those sugar levels. (SCP-4151-1 proceeds to scoop out ice-cream from a number of cans)

SCP-4151-1: That'll be twenty dollars.

D-3108: (hands over the requested amount) If you don't mind me asking, how'd you know about…you know…them being behind the bushes?

SCP-4151-1: (shrugs) X-Ray goggles outfitted with infrared and metabolic trackers. Its the latest craze in 2092.

D-3108: Wait wha-

SCP-4151-1: Would you like a carrier with that?

<End video log>

Test #2 report. From the audio recordings of Dr Horwitz.

<Begin audio log>

Dr Horwitz: It appears that SCP-4151-1 was well aware of our presence from the start. How so seems to be some form of implanted technology as suggested by SCP-4151-1 in the video log. This may suggest that SCP-4151-1 is partially or perhaps even entirely biomechanical in nature. A number of ice cream flavours sold by SCP-4151 are rather unusual to say the least, although it appears fully capable of dispensing regular ice cream flavours such as in Test #1. Purchases made by D-3108 were, suffice to say, delicious. Dr Fischer and Colonel Lang have commented likewise, although Dr Fischer does insist his blood sugar levels are at normal levels. Lastly, based on the video log, there seems to be the possibility that SCP-4151 is from the future. This theory has yet to be concretely proven and as such, Dr Fischer and I shall be submitting a request to Captain Holebas for further testing on SCP-4151.

Test #3: Dr Horwitz and Dr Fischer attempt to plant a tracking device on SCP-4151 in order to uncover its location upon dematerialisation. Colonel Lang and D-3108 participating.

Test #3 report. From the audio recordings of Colonel Lang.

<Begin audio log>

Colonel Lang: On December 29-2011, I fired a tracking device onto the back door of SCP-4151 away from the line of sight of SCP-4151-1. This tracking device was specially designed by Dr Horwitz and Dr Fischer and has a tracking range of up to ██ Klick. D-3108 distracted SCP-4151-1 with the purchase of several more ice cream flavours…that was Fischer's idea, allowing me time to plant the tracking device. SCP-4151-1 did not seem suspicious during this time and implantation of the tracking device was successful.

From January 5-2012 to April 22-2013, a total of four disappearances were recorded. Interestingly, only the years of its re-emergence in the "other" location differs. The years recorded are as follows. 2037, 1965, 2198 and 1777. If anything, I suppose that confirms this thing really is from the future.

Addendum 4151-B: Incident logs of SCP-4151

Incident #1: Dr Chan, on-site personnel of SCP-4151, was found to have breached containment procedures on September 4-2012 by purchasing a self-duplication flavoured ice ream cone without valid authentication protocol. Dr Chan was taken in custody before attempting to consume the ice cream cone.

Incident #1 report. From the audio recordings of Captain Holebas.

<Begin audio log>

Upon intensive interrogation, Dr Chan admitted that he purchased the ice cream for the purpose of working on multiple site projects at once, potentially raising his status in the eyes of the O-5 Council and leading to a promotion to the position of Site Administrator. While Dr Chan's efforts to better serve the Foundation are acknowledged, we cannot disregard the fact that he put containment protocol and thus other lives at risk. As such, Dr Chan shall upon immediate effect, be relocated to an alternate site and placed under probation indefinitely.

<End audio log>

Dr Horwitz and Colonel Lang have submitted a proposal to the O-5 Council for stricter regulations regarding contact with SCP-4151. The proposal was unanimously approved by Captain Holebas, Sergeant Knight and Sergeant Peyna.

<Recorded interview log of SCP-4151-1> Conducted by Colonel Lang over the counter of SCP-4151.

<Begin log>

Colonel Lang: Tang, did you on September the Fourth of this year sell Dr Chan a self-duplication flavoured ice cream cone?

SCP-4151-1: Well I can't recall the guy's name, but yeah I think I did. Why?

Colonel Lang: He committed a direct breach of site protocol! What if he had used the ice cream for malicious intent? What then? People could have been hurt, you know!

SCP-4151-1: (shrugs) I'm sorry about that, but a bot's got to do what a bot's got to do to pay the bills, am I right? Do you have any idea how expensive it is to pay for monthly shoulder burr treatments?! Of course you wouldn't. You carbon-based lifeforms all think so highly of yourself and expect us bots to be friendly and civil all the time…(SCP-4151-1 continues to grumble under its breath, its words cannot be made clear on the recorder)

<End log>

Incident #2 report: SCP-4151 had dematerialised and not since returned for an unprecedented seven months prior to its reemergence on August 25-2013. Upon arrival, on-site personnel discovered that SCP-4151-1 "Tang O. Shang" was no longer present, having been replaced by a Caucasian female which has since been termed SCP-4151-2. Physical characteristics of SCP-4151-2 included short, blonde hair and a name tag which read "L. Dijak".

<Recorded interview log of SCP-4151-2> Conducted by Dr Horwitz over the counter of SCP-4151. Colonel Lang and Dr Fischer observing.

<Begin log>

Dr Horwitz: Excuse me, but would you mind telling me what happened to Tang?

SCP-4151-2: He's on medical leave.

Dr Horwitz: Would you care to elaborate?

SCP-4151-2: He's been feeling a little overheated, his circuitry a little crossed. So I'm taking over for now.

Dr Horwitz: I see. And would you mind telling me, why exactly you are selling ice cream here? In this time period I mean.

SCP-4151-2: (gives a casual shrug) Its just a timetable we follow. Management gives us the schedule and we follow through. In fact, just next week we've got an order due for 14 mango pops at Mount Zion in █ AD.

Dr Horwitz: Wait. Mount Zion? You mean-

SCP-4151-2: (gives a smile) I'm sorry sir, I'm not at liberty to discuss this information. Company policy, I'm sure you understand.

<End log>

Dr Horwitz and Dr Fischer have since submitted a proposal to the Council for the possibility of using SCP-4151 to expand the Foundation's existing knowledge in the fields of quantum physics and special relativity. The proposal is currently pending approval.
