SCP 5943, in its dormant state
Description
SCP 5943 consists of a 4.2 cm by 4.2 cm by 2.3 cm white box containing a solid form of resin or 'Rosin', a component used to lubricate bows used to play violins, a 4.9 cm by 1.8 cm by 4.9 cm hollow red box open at one end and a small orange cloth. The white box has a Maker's Insignia on its bottom, titled 'The Instrumentalist' (See interview 5943-1 for more information). The anomalous properties of this object is limited to the 'Rosin' contained inside the box.
5943, despite a normal chemical make-up, induces an abnormal emotional reaction based on a subject's proximity, universally causing a mild fear reflex in human subjects. The red and white boxes act as a 'sink' for 5943's passive ability.
Upon lubricating a bow using 5943, it is designated as 5493-1. A violin played using 5943-1 is capable of controlling human emotions. Note that the anomalous properties lie in the bow(5943-1) itself and not in the violin played.
Tests conducted reveal that the frequency or thickness of a string as well as the note played do not affect the degree and nature of the emotion that is affected. The loudness of string and the particular string played- G.D,A or E(1,2,3 or 4 from the left respectively) affect these two factors, respectively. Given below is a comprehensive list of the emotions manipulated by 5943-
| Serial Number | Strings Used | Emotions altered | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | G | Happiness | Subjects were observed to smile uncontrollably and laugh spontaneously. Depressive tendencies of subjects reduced greatly. All effects were temporary, lasting for upto 30 minutes after playing was ceased. |
| 2 | D | Anger | Subjects showed aggressive tendencies. Multiple subjects started shouting at foundation operatives and demanding to be released. |
| 3 | A | Sadness | Subject were observed to become extremely dejected dejected and show depressive tendencies. Interestingly, depressed subjects showed no changes on being affected by the A string |
| 4 | E | Fear | Subjects were observed to cower and scream on high exposure. Multiple subjects attempted to take their life out of fear. |
| 5 | G,D | Sexual Desire | [DATA EXPUNGED] |
| 6 | G,A | Longing | Subjects were observed to break down hysterically and showed aggressive tendencies. All subjects subsequently demanded to be released. |
| 7 | G,E | Hope | Subjects showed no visible changes at the time of testing. Subjects attempted to escape containment after testing concluded. |
| 8 | D,A | Hate | Subjects show increasing hostility towards one-another. Subjects observed to attack a fellow D class inmates. |
| 9 | D,E | Hysteria | Subjects were observed to show extremely violent and destructive tendencies and exhibit a 'mob-mentality'. |
| 10 | A,E | Despair | No visible change in subjects. Compliance of subjects increased greatly. |
| 11 | G,D,A | Trust | |
| 12 | G,D,E | Pride | |
| 13 | G,A,E | Shame | |
| 14 | D,A,E | Love |
It is believed that 'The Instrumentalist' was able to distribute several instances of 5943-1., many of which are in possession of various terrorist groups, responsible for their high recruitment as well as high instability in their areas of operation.
