Item #: SCP-3712
Object Class: Euclid Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: All robots attempting to enter Robot Wars any robot combat gameshow are to be checked for instances of SCP-3712. All robots that are directly affected by SCP-3712 are to be routinely undermined by Foundation personnel prior to battles between other machines. During a battle, robots indirectly affected by SCP-3712 are to have their fur burnt. Spectators whose clothes are affected by SCP-3712-B must be administed Class-C Amnestics before battles involving SCP-3712, before instances of SCP-3712-B are seized by Foundation personnel and are completely burned.
Under no circumstances may any Foundation personnel attempt to seize a robot directly affected by SCP-3712 that currently still has its fur. Instances of SCP-3712 must have its fur be completely burned away before being secured at an air-tight vault at Foundation Site 13. A small batch of fur generated by SCP-3712 is to be kept in a secure air-tight vault located at Foundation Site 15. Experiments requiring the use of the fur must be approved by the SCP-3712 research team.
As of ██/██/████, the transferring of any robot onto new owners must be overseen by Foundation personnel.
Description: SCP-3712 is a phenomenon affecting robots entering the British robot combat gameshow Robot Wars robot combat gameshows, and various forms of clothing. Although known to have Originated from Dublin, Ireland, the exact area where instances are created remains unknown. Instances consist of flammable red and black polkadot fur, with a pair of bloodshot eyes, eyebrows and a large grin, which attaches itself to affected robots. All robots directly affected by SCP-3712, bar SCP-3712-1 are named as "Diotoir, Son of Nemesis", although instances are known simply as "Diotoir" (Irish for Annihilator), on Robot Wars.
Many of the affected robots generally exhibit strong pushing power, with SCP-3712-1 being able to successfully outpush Robot Wars House Robot Shunt, and SCP-3712-3 withstanding repeated blows from eventual Series 6 champions Tornado before ultimately pitting it. However, a general weakness among the robots concern the lack of reliable self-righting mechanisms, which have been exploited by several competitors during battles on Robot Wars.
Robots that come into contact with competitors affected by SCP-3712 will begin to generate small patches of fur onto their armour and in some cases weaponry. Usually, this can be removed by burning the fur during battle. If left unchecked, the fur will begin to spread all over the affected machine, before eventually developing its own bloodshot eyes and wide grin within one week of initial contact. This has ultimately established new instances of SCP-3712, designated as SCP-3712-7 and SCP-3712-8. SCP-3712 can also give affected robots advantages and disadvantages; for example, Thor, upon having its axe affected by SCP-3712, was able to burn it, creating a temporary "fireaxe" with more damage potential. Other robots, including Tornado, have experienced decreased reliability when battling instances of SCP-3712, often causing them to lose battles as a consequence.
SCP-3712 can yield notables effects on clothing, including shirts, trousers, footwear and [REDACTED]. At the start of transmission, the instance is generally weak, and affected clothing can be cured relatively easily by burning the fur attached to it. However, after a couple of days, SCP-3712 will begin to modify the clothes, turning the materials to flammable red fur with black polkadots, becoming instances of SCP-3712-B. Testing on Class-D personnel has revealed that not only does it not become more difficult to wear instances SCP-3712-B, but according to the subjects, the clothing's textures still feel exactly the same, regardless of what fabrics the clothing was originally created with.
The rate through which SCP-3712 spreads depends greatly on the number of battles it competes in a given time. The worst outbreak known to the Foundation occurred in 2001, where SCP-3712-3 competed in Extreme 1's Tag Team Terror competition. It teamed alongside tag partners Mega Morg (which was forcibly withdrawn by the Foundation after almost being taken over by an instance of SCP-3712), and Pussycat, ultimately winning the competition and affecting ██ other robots and clothing. As such, the Foundation have generally been attempting to limit exposure by sabotaging instances prior to its battles. This included the creation of a Robot Wars House Robot with a flamethrower, known as Sergeant Bash, to continually pitting instances against robots with flippers.
SCP-3712 was brought to the attention of the Foundation during filming for Series 1 of Robot Wars, after roboteers began to report batches of fur on their robots. After the fur was burned by SCP personnel, all eyewitnesses were administed Class-C Amnestics and robots taken over by SCP-3712 were claimed as being part of a series of joke robots designed to entertain the audience. Spectators whose clothes are affected by SCP-3712-B are administed Class-C Amnestics before a battle involving an instance of SCP-3712, to enable the Foundation to seize the affected clothing. Because of the immense popularity of the Diotoir machines on Robot Wars, attempting to seize instances of SCP-3712 before they have battled and have had their fur burnt is forbidden by the Foundation. Attempting to administer Class-A Amnestics onto viewers of robot combat gameshows in order to make them forget SCP-3712 is deemed unfeasible by the Foundation due to the worldwide popularity of the shows.
SCP-3712-1 was the first instance to be successfully contained by the Foundation, after having its fur being completely burnt off on December 18th, ████, enabling containment. Situated in an air-tight vault, no instance of SCP-3712 has successfully been able to regrow any fur. A small batch of fur is also stored in an air-tight vault, which cannot grow while within, leading to the SCP-3712 research team theorising oxygen is required for growth. It was also originally theorised by SCP-3712 research team that the instances only occurred on Robot Wars. However, this was disproven on March 9, ████, when the Foundation discovered SCP-3712-4, a walkerbot covered with the red and dot polka fur, entered Techno Games, a spin-off of Robot Wars.
All instances of SCP-3712 were successfully contained and reclassified as Safe on were believed to have been successfully contained and reclassified as Safe on January 17th, ████, after SCP-3712-6 was defeated in battle, had its fur completely burnt and was seized. However, on December 31st, ████, exposure to undiscovered SCP-3712 caused spinner Kadeena Machina to become an instance of SCP-3712, designated as SCP-3712-7. SCP-3712-7 managed to affect ████ other robots, and established instances of SCP-3712-B, but was successfully contained on the same day as its discovery.
SCP-3712-8 was discovered by the Foundation during the transferring of Iron-Awe 7 whilst it was travelling to China to compete in the FMB (Fighting My Bots) World Finals, taking over the machine on January ████, ████. It is the only known instance of SCP-3712 that has not been neutralised, as well as becoming the first instance that has travelled outside of Ireland and the United Kingdom, increasing its potential of spreading. The Foundation therefore reclassified SCP-3712 as Euclid.
Current Status of SCP-3712 units.
- SCP-3712-1 (contained 18-12-████): Was discovered by the Foundation during filming for Series 1 of Robot Wars, on February 20th, ████. This instance, known as Nemesis as written on its underside, was a circular machine armed with a pneumatic spiked ram. It was contained after a battle against Robot Wars competitor Onslaught.
- SCP-3712-2 (contained 27-12-████): First entered Series 3 of Robot Wars on March 24th, ████, SCP-3712-2 was the first to be known as Diotoir, Son of Nemesis, as written on its underside. The meaning behind the name has yet to be officially explained by the SCP-3712 research team, although it has been theorised that its name is to simply designate it as a predecessor of SCP-3712-1. All later instances of SCP-3712, with the exception of SCP-3712-4 and SCP-3712-5, have kept the same name. SCP-3712-2 was a heptagonal-shaped robot armed with a hydraulic lifting weapon. It was contained after a battle against Robot Wars competitor Pussycat.
- SCP-3712-3 (contained 14-5-████): The third instance debuted in the first episode of Extreme 1 of Robot Wars on October 8th, ████. Like SCP-3712-2, SCP-3712-3 was a heptagonal-shaped robot, armed with a shovel instead of a hydraulic lifting weapon. Contained after a battle against Robot Wars competitor Spawn Again.
- SCP-3712-4 (contained 29-3-████): The first instance to appear on a robot competition outside of Robot Wars, entering Techno Games on March 9th, ████. It was a walkerbot containing a petrol-driven 50cc engine, known as Ulysses. Contained after an Internal Combustion Sprint against Scuttle-B-Squared.
- SCP-3712-5 (contained 18-3-████): Entering Techno Games on March 18th, ████, SCP-3712-5 successfully took over Robot Wars loanerbot Rigby, a box-shaped machine armed with an axe. Containe after an Assault Course event against Kat's Whiskers.
- SCP-3712-6 (contained 17-1-████): The last instance prior to ████, SCP-3712-6 entered the Tag Team Terror competition in Extreme 2 of Robot Wars. Again keeping the heptagonal-shaped chassis, it was armed with a panel and overhead crushing arm. Contained after a battle against Robot Wars competitors Bulldog Breed and Robochicken.
- SCP-3712-7 (contained 31-12-████): Took over previous Robot Wars competitor Kadeena Machina, an axlebot armed with a vertical flywheel. Entered the World Series of Series 10 of Robot Wars on December 31st, ████. Contained after a battle against Robot Wars competitor Apollo.
- SCP-3712-8: Merged with Iron-Awe 7, a wedge-shaped machine armed with a rear-hinged flipper, on January ████, ████. First entered FMB, it is the only uncontained instance of SCP-3712 known to the Foundation.
SCP-F1-2, stored in its Formula One-esque garage.
Item #: SCP-F1
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: When not being tested, SCP-F1 is to be stored in a specialist garage designed for Formula One cars, located at the ██ circuit at Foundation Site 80. It is to be monitored by Foundation personnel following Incident F1-5. Under no circumstances must any Foundation members that are or have been affiliated with any motorsport team are to be involved in the project. No personnel may be allowed methods of communication without prior permission from the SCP-F1 research team. Security cameras monitoring SCP-F1 are to be regularly checked to ensure that they have not been hacked.
When conducting tests on SCP-F1, prior permission must first be given by the SCP-F1 research team. Approved track tests on SCP-F1-1 must be done on the ██ circuit at Foundation site ██, whereby only trained C-Class personnel may drive the car indefintely, with the intent of avoiding a perfect laptime. They are to report back technical information to the research team.
Approved crash tests on SCP-F1-2 are to be conducted at Foundation site ██. Methods of damaging SCP-F1-2 are to be restricted.
When attempting to re-create SCP-F1, two chassis are to be constructed, to enable track and crash testing of instances of SCP-F1-3. Only trained D-Class personnel are to be given permission to drive it, following Incident F1-6.
Under no circumstances must any unapproved non-Foundation members be present or aware of SCP-F1 and testing of it. All trespassers are to be interviewed to identity their motives, before promptly being administrated Class-A amnestics. All discussions, videos or images of SCP-F1 found on internet forums and other media outlets must be swiftly debunked as a prototype version of other unraced F1 cars, before promptly being removed.
Description: SCP-F1 consists of two plain red unsponsored Formula One cars that were to enter the 20██ Formula One season. They were designed and built by ██, whereby only one car, known as SCP-F1-1 was to be entered by the new constructor. The other, defined as SCP-F1-2, was to be used for testing only. SCP-F1 had an unusual monocoque design, which was capable of making the car exceptionally light, to just ██ kg, a full ██ kg lighter than modern Formula One cars. It also contained a V8 engine built by the team themselves, which was capable of generating ██ bhp, significantly faster than any Formula One car of the era.
The anomalous effects of SCP-F1 include the fact that the drivers who tested it were found to have made no errors throughout their limited sessions. No g-force was found to have been generated by driving SCP-F1-1, even at the top speed of ██, whilst the car was also able to generate enough grip so that spins and other mistakes by drivers to warrant a potential crash have been impossible to conduct. This meant they were able to set perfect lap times of ██ on the track, regardless of weather. SCP-F1-1 has also never broken down, despite the unreliability of most other Formula One cars.
Crash tests conducted on the test version of SCP-F1-2 have resulted in the discovering another anomalous effect with SCP-F1. Although seemingly built with the same materials as a typical Formula One car of the era, damage to SCP-F1-2 have been noted to be almost non-existent when compared to similar, often fragile Formula One cars of the era receiving the same impacts. Even the biggest crash tests conducted with SCP-F1-2 has only generated superficial damage to it.
SCP-F1 was brought to the attention of The Foundation in early 20██ by the FIA, in response to a controversial sequence of events that occurred during two limited pre-season tests at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya circuit. This included several consecutive perfect lap times, a full ██ seconds quicker than other cars being tested, as well as being undamaged throughout all mandatory FIA crash tests. Following contractual disputes between the ████ Formula One team and its technical director, the latter began to leak technical information of SCP-F1 to ████ in exchange for large sum payments, resulting in the creation of a revised design that ████ were planning to enter for the upcoming season, which attempted to incorporate specifications of SCP-F1. However, testing of this revised design ended in disaster when driver ████ lost control and crashed heavily into the stands, resulting in ██ casualties. ████'s technical director has since disappeared following the incident, taking many of the design documents for SCP-F1 with them.
Although the Foundation had reason to believe that the FIA only contacted it for the purpose of avoiding another Spygate scandal, the anomalous effects were enough to convince it to secure SCP-F1. The Foundation then took over the ██ Formula One team, administrated Class-A amnestics to all witnesses, before withdrawing the team's application to join the 20██ Formula One season. SCP-F1 was then covered up as a prototype of other unraced Formula One cars, before The Foundation removed all prior recordings and images of the cars from public access.
Addenda:
On 16/2/20██, testing on SCP-F1-1 was conducted by D-Class personnel ████, who previously had connections with the ████ Formula One team. After successfully completing four laps as requested D-████ secretly contacted several key members of the team to discuss SCP-F1, detailing the exceptionally quick laptimes and absence of errors made by them. After being told of the location of SCP-F1-1, it prompted the ████ Formula One team to send several individuals of its technical team to the ████ circuit in order to gain technical information about the car.
The espionage on The Foundation was successfully thwarted, and all non-Foundation members were aprehended and administrated Class-A amnestics. D-████ was also eliminated, with their smuggled mobile phone being destroyed. In response to the containment breach, the Foundation decided to implement several changes to the containment procedures and testing of SCP-F1. Both SCP-F1-1 and SCP-F1-2 have been relocated to the ███ circuit, in ████.
After gaining access to SCP-F1-1 and SCP-F1-2, the SCP-F1 research team have been attempting to re-create the cars, designated as SCP-F1-3, with the remaining technical specifications that were seized by the Foundation. These technical specifications concerned the suspension and [DATA EXPUNGED] incorporated into SCP-F1. However, in spite of ██ instances of SCP-F1-3 being created, none have successfully replicated SCP-F1's performance and structural integrity. One instance of SCP-F1-3 suffered a suspension collapse when being driven by C-Class personnel ███ on 12/4/20██, causing it to crash, destroying it and killing ███ in the process.
