Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a 3 m x 3 m x 3 m room made of high strength steel. The room is also to contain a faraday cage 1 m x 1 m x 1.9 m. In the center of this room is a steel table 20 inches in length. In the center of this table is a 1998 iMac G3 with no mouse or keyboard. No internet or mobile signals are allowed with 25 meters of SCP-XXXX's containment chamber. All security personnel are to have no social media of any kind and are to be rotated weekly. No personnel are forbidden to go within the room without approval from Dr. █████ and/or 05-██.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous malware virus contained on a 1998 iMac G3, designated SCP-XXXX-1. The virus is practically undetectable until 12:00. At this time the screen of SCP-XXXX-1 will turn on by itself and will display a sprite of Pac-Man with his mouth open. SCP-XXXX-1 will stay like this until a USB stick containing a minimum of 1 gigabyte of data is inserted into SCP-XXXX-1's USB port. After inserting the USB, the sprite of Pac-Man will initiate his 'eating' animation. After a minimum of 5 minutes, 5 minutes per gigabyte of data, the Pac-Man sprite will stop the 'eating' animation ending with his mouth closed. After this SCP-XXXX-1's screen will turn off and the USB is to be taken out of SCP-XXXX-1's USB port. After being ejected from the USB drive the USB is to be destroyed to prevent any part of SCP-XXXX from escaping. The data in the USB drive must be different each time, as SCP-XXXX will reject any data that it has eaten in the last year. If SCP-XXXX is not fed for 5 days or more it will locate the nearest source of data and consume it is fed from the USB port or stopped through over methods.

Over the last ██ years of SCP-XXXX's containment, its appetite has increased tenfold, with the virus only requiring a supply of 100 megabytes daily. This has raised some concerns, as SCP-XXXX's appetite is estimated to grow exponentially, to the point were feeding it at the foundation will become impossible and it will begin to devour the world wide web and even the foundation's private network causing massive multi-site containment breaches and an IK class end of the world scenario.

Attempts at destroying SCP-XXXX due to its dangers have been fruitless. All attempts to destroy the virus such as by using antivirus software and other such methods have failed as they are immediately ejected from SCP-XXXX-1 and may even cause SCP-XXXX-1 to become broken. Destroying SCP-XXXX-1 has also proven useless as while destroying SCP-XXXX-1 is possible it only results in SCP-XXXX transferring to the nearest computer unless a 1998 iMac G3 is within 50 meters of its previous location, in which case it will transfer to it, similar to an animal in its natural habitat.
