The Whirlpool Galaxy, M51. Signals recieved transmit from the direct center.

Item #: SCP-2XXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: A Dell-brand Home PC running Windows Vista is to be kept in a Standard Containment Cell measuring 3 x 3 x 3 meters. The walls of the cell are to be padded with a moderate amount of heat-resistant and sound-absorbing foam. A single camera is to be affixed to the wall above the door, facing the computer's monitor. A single USB Type C cable is to be run from the back of the PC through the southern wall to a small side-room with three DSC (Data Storage Centers) running 24/7, as well as three █████ 2004 Model C wide-range transmitters locked to █████hz. The DSCs are hooked to a single computer that is to index all information received by SCP-2XXX and create no less than four backups of each file. The side-room should be checked for disruptions or breaches once every 12 hours.

Description: SCP-2XXX is the anomalous byproduct of attempting to pass a variable named "ansji█ao█12█09██ns██lv██aB"1 in any programming environment. The effect appears to manifest only on machines running operating systems that date from January of 2007 or earlier.

As soon as the variable has been named in any form (there appear to be no constraints) and the program has been run, the environment will rapidly deconstruct into a simple interface showing a plain blank space for code, removing all toolbars, help, or otherwise. The computer will proceed to rapidly write what appear to be pointless programs on the page, running every five minutes to apparently check for errors. The programs tend to begin as basic loops and prints, but quickly grow in complexity. After roughly two hours, the program will run for a final time, then erase all data and restart the process.

The second time the computer runs through the process, SCP-2XXX's primary effect manifests. The computer will begin to rapidly structure a program that appears to be a base for a transmission program capable of taking over local broadcasting units and sending out rapid messages over long distances. The program takes exactly 3 hours to complete, at which point it will immediately attempt to use any connection to take over broadcasting units produced before the date of January 1st, 2007.

SCP-2XXX will broadcast to six specific locations in interstellar space. In order from first to last they are the following: The northeastern arm of the Triangulum Galaxy, Cygnus X-1, the center of the Whirlpool Galaxy, three parsecs to the west of the Orion Nebula, the star KIC 8462852, and the pulsar GX 301-2. Though estimates range, it is effectively impossible for any sort of data to be transmitted this distance in a timeframe shorter than several thousand years. However, in all cases, after each "data pulse", a response from each point is received in under an hour.

The responses tend to be a series of what appear to be coordinates in an unknown format, followed by a lengthy message using an unknown alphabet2, followed by a series of digits (0-9 and a few unknowns) and "signed off" by the variable that triggers 2XXX.

SCP-2XXX will attempt to transfer to a new PC through broadband connection when memory or space on the current host runs out. SCP-2XXX can effectively transfer between any computers connected to it by internet or otherwise, but is similarly constrained to machines and transfer protocols created before January 1st, 2007. Using modern data transfer technology can retrieve transmitted files from the affected device's hard drive without risking infection.
