Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in secure container with Site-17's low-risk item storage. Access is restricted to research staff assigned to SCP-XXXX is available for recreational use under the supervision of at least one level three or higher staff member.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a █████ brand ████ █████ █ two (2) player light gun arcade cabinet in a state of extensive disrepair, with rust covering approximately 23.45% of the metal casing, and a notable absence of the second player's light gun. It can be powered via connecting a 230V power supply to any adequate outlet, although this does not affect the functionality or anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX.

SCP-XXXX, when at least 25¢ worth of US. coinage is entered into the cabinet's coin slot will boot to the standard ████ █████ █ menu screen, regardless of a connection to a power supply. Upon selection of "solo only", the game will continue into a mundane level that is expected of the title. When "solo/linked" is selected, a manifestation of a "second player", hereby referred to as SCP-XXXX-B after the events of 3/14/████, unique manifestations will be referred to as SCP-XXXX-B-"XXX", with "XXX" being the manifestation's high score tag.

SCP-XXXX-B-XXX will manifest in front of the second screen, typically holding a light gun in an appropriate appendage. SCP-XXXX-B will proceed to join the first player in playing the game, usually with a helpful and friendly attitude. When attempting to question any instances of SCP-XXXX-B, questions are normally deflected or result in SCP-XXXX-B holstering the second light gun, causing them to demanifest. Upon completion of the game with an active instance of SCP-XXXX-B, the specific instance will always receive a score listed on the scoreboard.

After regular testing on 3/14/████, it was discovered that if second player scores high enough to make the scoreboard, whatever manifestation that was linked to the previously lowest score will cease to manifest. A new manifestation mimicking mannerisms and play-styles of whoever creates the new "high score", although the physical representation is assumed to be an amalgamation of the player's playstyle and body language.

DESIGNATION	SCORE	NOTES
SCP-XXXX-B-AAA	1,142,070	Manifestation takes the form of one Hylobates klossii (Dwarf Gibbon). SCP-XXXX-B-AAA would be prone to dropping the second player's light gun, causing minor damage that persisted through manifestations. SCP-XXXX-B-AAA was the lowest score on the scoreboard at the time of recovery and has since been removed from the leaderboard.
SCP-XXXX-B-TRS	1,452,450	Manifestation takes form of a large cylinder trash can with a single pale hand emerging from a gap in the trash can's lid. SCP-XXXX-B-TRS would often leave "power-ups" for the first player, refusing to use them until roughly three (3) seconds were remaining. Rapid movement from the arm unusually does not cause the lid to ever reveal the insides of the can, and efforts made to reveal the contents via imaging technology has shown it to be empty. SCP-XXXX-B-TRS was fourth (4th) on the scoreboard at the time of recovery.
SCP-XXXX-B-DEX	1,567,125	Manifestation appears to be a middle aged man of Italian decent wearing a modern cycling outfit and helmet, with what appears to be earphone wires leading from his ears to his back pocket. SCP-XXXX-B-DEX will sing during it's entire manifestation in what appears to be an Italian gibberish, with it's use of the light gun matching it's "rhythm". SCP-XXXX-B-DEX was second (2nd) at the time of recovery.
SCP-XXXX-B-DAA	1,240,012	SCP-XXXX-B-DAA manifests as an Caucasian man approximately in his early twenties (20s) dressed in black and white prison clothes with fetters connected to an oversized iron-lead ball. SCP-XXXX-B-DAA mimics the mannerism of D-0841, with the over-use of explosive weapons. SCP-XXXX-B-DAA was the first score in testing to make the scoreboards, scored by D-0841.
SCP-XXXX-B-TAS	1,999,990	SCP-XXXX-B-TAS manifests as a 1.82m humanoid amalgamation of wires, circuits and pipes. SCP-XXXX-B-TAS acts with sudden and erratic movements, rarely communicating with gestures to the first player. SCP-XXXX-B-TAS was scored by connecting the first player's light gun to an mechanical arm, programmed to use pre-scripted inputs to achieve the highest possible score.

Subsequently to testing with the tool assisted score, small modifications to gameplay have been recorded, allowing for potentially higher scores than were previously possible.
