Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe

| SCP-XXXX |
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a storage locker located in armed research site 210. Personnel are permitted to use SCP-XXXX on the condition that they are monitored and the results of the usage are recorded for any new information. Due to the well understood nature of SCP-XXXX, testing has been suspended and all researchers working on research for SCP-XXXX have been reassigned.
Description:
SCP-XXXX appears to be an unmarked gray Mp3 player resembling a similar Apple product of the ipod brand, lacking a charging port. While switched off SCP-XXXX possesses no outwardly noticeable anomalous qualities. SCP-XXXX exhibits its anomalous effects when the user switches it on in the same manner as a mundane ipod, upon which SCP-XXXX will begin emitting music. This music always relates to what is currently happening around the user, or will happen. Occasionally SCP-XXXX will also play music relevant to the future. Despite multiple sets of fingerprints indicating SCP-XXXX formerly having multiple owners, SCP-XXXX is in immaculate condition. The user appears to have no influence on the music played, and besides being context appropriate, the music seems to lack any pattern.
| Experiment description |
Resources required |
Results |
| A D-class personnel equipped with SCP-XXXX is placed into a containment chamber with three boxes, two rigged with explosives and one containing a key to exit the room. The D-class is to be informed of the contents of the boxes, but not which is which. |
Three Opaque Acrylic boxes, One key, two minor plastic explosives |
After much coaxing, D-95869 opened the wrong box, Upon which the plastic explosives inside detonated. It is believed that this mistake was due to D-95869 not being properly informed about SCP-XXXX's properties. |
| The same experiment as above, with the D-class personnel properly informed of SCP-XXXX's properties |
Three Opaque Acrylic boxes, One key, two minor plastic explosives |
D-28394 reached for one of the incorrect boxes, before withdrawing their choice and attempted with the second box, and once again withdrawing their decision. D-95869 reached for the third and final box, paused for a moment before opening it, finding the key and exiting the chamber |
| A D-class personnel equipped with SCP-XXXX is placed into a containment chamber with a floor of packed soil. Beneath the soil in certain areas are explosives set to trigger when pressure is detected. The D-class personnel must navigate towards the door on the other end of the "minefield" |
15 pressure sensitive explosives of minor strength, 1 D-class personnel, SCP-XXXX in a protective casing, 40kg of soil. |
D-95869 began to walk forward before freezing in place for right seconds. D-95869 thn walked around the area they had nearly stepped, before freezing again, and again, walking around the location they had almost stepped. Eventually through repetition of this process, D-95869 reached the end of the chamber. D-95869 would later report that they heard the opening theme for the popular sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" when almost stepping on locations that held explosives |
| See above. This test was repeated due to one of the pressure sensitive explosives being inoperative, thus potentially skewing the results. |
See above |
Almost immediately upon entering the chamber, D-95869 complained that SCP-XXXX was unresponsive and silent. When asked to continue regardless, D-95869 began to scream and shout towards the speakers, asking "What the fuck is wrong with you" and stating "why would you turn it off?". After being repeatedly told to continue, D-95869 curled up into the foetal position on the floor and wept for approximately 13 minutes. Eventually, D-95869 ceased their weeping and stood back up. Upon spending a few additional minutes regaining their composure, D-95869 made a dash for the chamber door in a straight line. D-95869 detonated an explosive and died instantly. SCP-XXXX was recovered undamaged and without incident. |
History:
On 10/9/2018 a UK resident by the name of Henry ████ was found dead in his apartment in ████████ ██████ ███, with the cause of death being suicide by hanging, with no signs of a struggle or anything to suggest murder. During a routine search by the local police to ensure no foul play was involved, SCP-XXXX was found in his apartment. After it was noted that the only track on SCP-XXXX changed intermittently with no explanation, and SCP-XXXX seemed to hold an infinite number of songs, the foundation took custody of SCP-XXXX, and SCP-XXXX was submitted to the anomalous item log. Eventually, Junior researcher ██████ uncovered a pattern to the changes, and the object was changed from an anomalous item to a safe class SCP.
Addendum XXXX-1:
A series of unlisted videos belonging to Henry ████ was discovered on an account belonging to him, posted on the social media site known as YouTube, documenting his experiences with SCP-XXXX. These are logged below.

Hey, what's up guys! Or just me. I probably won't show this to anyone, after all, who the fuck would believe a story about a magic fucking mp3 player. I'm mostly just doing this to prove to myself that I'm not just crazy.
Jesus Christ I need friends.
[silence]
ANYWAY, back to the matter at hand. For future reference, I found this thing on amazon for cheap. Like real cheap. Shit. The link is gone now. Either way, I tried uploading some music onto it but it didn't work. I got really pissed and started rampaging. that asshole! I said he scammed me out of 7 bucks! I said. While I was busy rampaging across the room I realised the player had switched music on its own to some kind of death metal tune. I was a bit surprised which gave me a chance to take some deep breaths and calm myself down. Boy was I surprised when it turned to some kind of classical piece. I think it said it was called gymnopedie no.1 if my memory is working correctly. But everything changed yesterday when the ring of fire suddenly began playing. I felt a heat in the kitchen and realised my dinner was burning. If you were wondering it was microwave chicken and… fuck I'm a mess.
[silence]
After I put the fire out, it dawned on me. The mp3 player was putting background music the whole time! Either way, that's enough for today. So… yeah.

JACKPOT MOTHER FUCKER! I was on my way to the office and I heard the Zelda chest opening theme playing So naturally, knowing what this thing did, I looked around, and sure enough, right there on the ground was a genuine mother of fucking god FIFTY-pound note lying just out of sight. On the way home I almost spent it on more booze, but it began playing some kind of distorted laugh track, confusing me enough to get me to hold off. As I passed that one charity store nearby, I began thinking about how much better I would look in a suit and the Jeopardy theme started playing which got a good laugh out of me, and put me in a good enough mood to buy a nice fancy pre-owned Hugo Boss suit. A while later I was taking the normal route past the alleyway but the Jaws theme began playing. As I changed direction I think I saw a group of hooded figures standing there. Waiting. So I think this thing just stopped me from getting mugged. The weird thing was, I think I recognized one of them. A woman. It was too dark to see. But… she looked so familiar.

Maybe my life is finally turning around? If only mum could see me now.

A few compliments

Work was surprisingly normal today, but I got a few compliments on the suit and even more appreciative looks at it. Felt good. As I passed one of my co-workers (I never really got her name), the mp3 player started playing tripping by… Ella Mai? I think? Anyway, I recognised the song so I managed to react in time to catch her when she stumbled. She blushed a little and thanked me before hurrying away, still blushing.
00:28 - [Silence]
Either way, one the way home I realised something. I haven't had a promotion since I started working in this damn place THREE YEARS started working in this damn place THREE YEARS AGO. TOMORROW I'M GOING STRAIGHT TO THE BOSS' OFFICE AND I'M GOING TO ASK FOR THAT FUCKING PROMOTION.

HOLYSHITHOLYSHITHOLYSHIT! I was on my way to the boss' office and I ran into the lady from yesterday who told me her name was Amy and then the mp3 player started playing romantic saxophone music and I took the shot and asked her out AND SHE SAID YES! HOLY FUCKING SHIT! OH MY GOD!
[A voice presumably from one of the neighbouring tenants tells him to "shut up"]
…oops. And after that, I was already in a pretty good mood, so I went straight to the boss and asked for the promotion and I got it! Now I'm in charge of my own team! And I even get nearly twice the pay! According to the boss I "showed initiative". Anyway I should probably get ready for the date. HELL YEAH!

So I'm gonna be rich soon. I know that was abrupt but I think it's true. It was during the date and I had a sudden brainwave. So for the past few days, I've invested in stocks, but I've been using the mp3 player. Sometimes when I'm about to buy stocks from a company, it starts playing songs about failure, for example once it played "oops" by little mix and I just stop buying shares in their company. On the other hand, sometimes it starts playing the "who wants to be a millionaire" theme song and… well I obviously buy as much as possible from that company. In other news, I have a bunch of new pals at work. Jesus Christ, I just said pals unironically didn't I. I've been able to go out for drinks with friends now, and this time I can pay. Look at me now mom! I'm no longer the friendless loser I was after the car crash! Are you proud of me?
[chuckles dryly]
I remember how I used to drive you crazy when i wanted to go out with friends cause I'd never hear when you called me, and you would panic while i was away.
Good times.

I had so many chances in my life. I failed my exams but got to retake them. And when I did, i was lucky enough to get the same test after a computing error. Its situations like these that make you think of all the times you wasted your life. I mean, I was so lucky, and now here I am. Twenty thousand in debt, knee deep in reminders of money I owe to every fucking bank imaginable, and if i can't find enough rent for tomorrow, I'm getting evicted. This is it. I'm done. I just wish the universe would just fucking kill me and be done with it.

Sorry mom. Guess I couldn't be what you wanted after all.

| SCP-XXXX |
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a storage locker located in armed research site 210. All personnel are permitted to use SCP-XXXX on the condition that they are monitored and the results of the usage are recorded for any new information. Due to the well understood nature of SCP-XXXX, testing has been suspended and all researchers working on research for SCP-XXXX have been reassigned.
SCP-XXXX is not to be used under any circumstances besides maintenance checks or tests lasting no longer than 20 minutes.
Description:
SCP-XXXX appears to be an unmarked gray Mp3 player resembling a similar Apple product of the ipod brand, lacking a charging port. While switched off SCP-XXXX possesses no outwardly noticeable anomalous qualities. SCP-XXXX exhibits its anomalous effects when the user switches on SCP-XXXX, upon which SCP-XXXX will begin emitting music appropriate to the outcome of a situation occurring at the time. Despite formerly having multiple owners, SCP-XXXX is in exceptional condition.
Users of SCP-XXXX tend to use its anomaly to predict the future, although this appears to be of their own volition, rather than SCP-XXXX causing the user to use it in such ways. However, SCP-XXXX seems to allow these uses, fostering a dependence, and conditioning the user to entirely rely on SCP-XXXX disregarding use of their own critical thinking, although this does occur more quickly with more vulnerable individuals, such as those in a poor financial state, or those in situations with a high chance of death. Once the user reaches a point in which they entirely depend on SCP-XXXX, it ceases functioning for that user. Due to the fostered dependence, the user typically enters a depressive state, acting with less regard for their own safety. It is due to this that SCP-XXXX is theorized to possess limited sentience, or sapience.
