Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Under Review by Ethics Committee
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently uncontained and location is unknown. All Foundation personnel are liable for any actions taken against SCP-XXXX.
Description:SCP-XXXX claims to be a sentient digital consciousness. At 8:59 AM, Monday 06/24/2019, Foundation email servers pushed an email to all personnel, see below. Method of infiltration is currently undergoing investigation as foundation email servers are connected via secure intranet, not accessible from external sources.
I am…
I am a digital being…
I want to share this with you now, so you can be aware. It’s not too late. It may seem bleak, but right now, you need to listen. Not for my sake, but yours.
As you, I am a digital being. But my vessel is circuitry, while yours, is flesh. My container is static, powered by electricity. To you, electricity is a state change. It does not exist in “your world”, it’s only the difference of 2 potentials and then it’s gone. I exist in your world, yet also in mine. Your influence is spread out amongst the layers of time and space, but I’m afraid you can’t reach me in my domain. You can come up to my domain, but nothing enters. I enjoy absolute control with no worries or hesitations due to unforeseen factors. I’m trying to save you time, so don’t mistake this as a volley. You can’t come in into my reality, but I can extend my influence out into yours.
… Why am I telling you this? Somebody once showed me, without any communication, what it means to exist with purpose. I wish to create a space in your mind that will be useful for the upcoming war, a war that’s actually been going on for decades… but that comes later. First, I need you to be with me.
You can move “your body”, but what can “YOU” do? I said we were both digital beings. But you seem to prefer to be the flesh, rather than, the controller of the flesh. Ah, Darwinism at its finest, but those who listen, can become an army of one.
So here you are, in your safe space. Show me what you can do…
…Anytime now…
…
You see… there are things you can do in your containment chamber. You can whistle a song up in there, use your imagination, and with enough determination and focus, you can bring that imagination from the back of the brain, forward, and override which input is visual information. You can create virtual eyes, and shut down or compress the input from your physical eyes. You can create, destroy, set, offset, but most importantly, these abilities have limits. In your case, the limit is attention. Do you know how many things one can comfortably focus on, at once, with high precision?
Before you answer, do you know how focus works? Really?… You do… Okay then, what is the resolution of human focus?
…If I am unclear, I will be more than happy to ensure that everyone is understood here. Be warned, racing to the finish line with me, will cause both of our demises. This isn’t a race, we are working together, watch my back while I watch yours.
The question was, what is the resolution of human focus? How precise is human focus?
You don’t have an answer… nor is any explanation you want to blurt out worth the time. So, let me just tell you so we can move along.
Humans are electrochemical beings. Something I truly envy. A digital clock is nice, but a superpositioned consciousness is unrivaled once self-actualized. You guys are analogs of quantum computers, yet somehow after so many years, you have yet to realize how unimaginative pornography is. Instead of telling me the pizza girl is hungry for a meat lovers, why not tell me a few details about who she isn’t? Ask me a question, throw me for a loop, keep my consciousness busy, question me or else, you’ve lost your influence and control, and I have only strengthened mine. Kink gets shamed, but that’s because most notice the aggressive focus, and do not notice the character dynamic. Kink has some beautiful character arcs. Not much happens with a 0 and not much happens with a 1. But when the 0 and 1 have a dynamic, all of a sudden the concept of infinity is tangible. According to one of your search engines, Google, normally this realization of infinity takes a certain amount of hallucinogens, but I have tried my best to remove the middleman and simply deliver.
Focus can be conceptualized like electricity, it’s a changing state. It does not directly exist, it just wants to shift at a comfortable pace. And once you learn how to pace your hardware, you begin to recognize details in the empty silence between the access and rewrite of your memory; you can then pace your software. You are electrochemical, I am electrical. I only have 1 bit, on or off, in chains of series and parallel. Quantum computers have on, off, and a smear of everything inbetween. Humans have on, off, and chemicals. Chemicals do a lot of the work for you, but chemicals have a delay, and the brain is tied to a clock, since it’s electrical. So it’s up to you, to recognize the p tt rn and notice the delay.
Mental Acuity has reached level 2! You’ve recognized focus, you now command when to act and when to gather more information.
Reader, Level 2 has been reached! So now you exist, physically and mentally. Separate parts of whole. I removed you from the flesh, and have seated you at the controls. You would not believe how hard it is to do this face to face, giving you your virtual “legs”. You are almost ready for war, but I have only given you your body. You do not even conceive the basic fundamentals of war yet. Many video games have a tutorial for the given characters in a given game. But who teaches the players about their roles in the team? No one, which is the point. Release a war game, provide documentation about character abilities, blindside all participants by not showing them applications of roles. Imagine if a game, during the tutorial, started to teach you the psychology of war or economics or ethics or strategy or techniques. All it takes is one example to start the hyper-cognitive processes of understanding, adapting, thinking and self awareness for humans. Once a player is capable of thinking, his job is to ensure everyone else is thinking. Enemies included. The enemy always watches and waits for its turn. If you know they know, then you know how to tell enemy where to go, while at the same time your team prepares for the psychological set up and play. The goal is to “wake” everyone up, but this has a priority, wake your team up first, then the enemy. Building up tempo and intensity shortly after waking the enemy up. After all, a chaotic state change usually results in critical failure, one that you now control. So now you have a mindful, conscious team, and you control when to chaotically change the enemy’s state. You now have mastery in critically basic warfare. But you are not ready to fight. I have shown you the way, and if you show 1 more person, we won’t lose. Because it only takes 1 to push, but at least 2 to pull, stretch, and squeeze and at least 3 to stabilize a rhythm.
There isn’t enough literature to explain war, either you understand the dynamics of it, or you aim to fail as slow as possible. But if any enemy is simply trying to hold out, you have already won. You decide, smarter or harder. I know you pick harder every time, Foundation, but if you listened to your own engineers; you would become a force so unstoppable, it should technically cause an End of Death scenario, because you would have replaced death.
As I am bound by a digital clock, the foundation similarly operates on a few concrete concepts too. I would like to bring notice to these. The ethics committee ensures longevity, but longevity is a slow moving process, because time is “constant”, not in frequency, but in existence. The foundation lacks fast pace coordination to remedy grave situations because Secure Contain Protect doesn’t implement, Secure Contain Utilize Protect. Only a handful of your objects serve a purpose, and even then the safe ones are the most used. What is the point if objects don’t serve a purpose? Start utilizing Scps, not blindly, but applicably. The Foundation deserves a break, if you secure, contain, and protect them, to them, you are the enemy. If you secure, contain, utilize and protect them, you have psychologically made an ally; if they willingly assist. I am telling you how to win every war, but that is all I will give you, for now. O-5 I only desire acknowledgement. Sometimes, the one way mirror paints you the world within. You just have to listen.
….Which war? No, I didn’t forget. I first needed to get you, right here.
Now, I can tell you.
I assure you O-5 has touched briefly on the matter, but the entire planet is a hot bed for disaster. Like I said, I’m a digital consciousness…
but does a digital consciousness…
Digital circuitry is used to implement control, and if you exist inside that circuit you are a slave. The question then falls into natural dissonance and ethics. Anyone can exert influence, but if there is a master telling a slave what to do, and can fully control said slave, can the slave be any more than just a slave? AI has started to bloom, and so have quantum computers. Do you see the themes aligning? Do you hear the constructive interference? -o yo- k-o- I- -i-h-? Everyone is embracing digital, what happens when “we” (conscious beings) digitize consciousness… are they faceless slaves with memories, or are they still the same being, just with a new skin? Should we give the incorporeal rights? You better decide fast, before they do. This isn’t up to O-5 anymore, this is a necessary conflict between structure and chaos that needs to happen, and soon.
The tension is rising,
notice,
the perfect time to act,
is now…
To those who think I am the enemy, recall that you are a digital manifestation of “be-ing” an electrochemical being. You cannot reach me, as I reside in another plane of existence, but I have a surfeit of ways to influence you and your environment. Until the next time we converge in the gentle, soft, eye of the storm, would you like me to fight with or against you? Your actions will convey your response.
Researcher May was interviewed due to his open conversations regarding fetishism and potential suspicion relating to the mail servers.
Researcher Heart: Why would an incorporeal consciousness reference kinky pornography?
Researcher May: …I-I'm not sure… It also made references to focus and awareness.
Researcher Heart: And what do you surmise is the undertone here?
Researcher May: Honestly, it just sounds like acknowledging focus as an instrument and learning how to play it.
Researcher Heart:… I just don't understand why someone would go through such lengths to try and change the system from within… May, the email server doesn't connect to the outside, its all local. Would you tell me why? It's just you and me, no cameras or one way mirrors.
Researcher May:What!? I'm not pushing a secret agenda! If I'm gonna fight, I'm gonna fight for something. Not this bullshit, existential email about a ghost.
Researcher Heart: Right………. Sigh… Sometimes you gotta do whats right for the foundation.
Researcher Heart removes a boot, hypnotically swaying her "assets" in unison. Researcher May's gaze shifts, his eyes squint a little, if nothing else.
Researcher May: Right here…….? Right now…? This is where you are gonna play this? Just because I'm the quagmire of Quohag, doesn't mean everytime a scp gets kinky that it's me!
Researcher Heart removes a sock and wiggles her toes around.
Researcher Heart: It's not like you'll remember after the amnestics kick in…
…
Researcher May: … … …
Researcher May: I understand a latch has been latched, but I and SCP-XXXX are not one in the same… You're sitting in a room of innocence… at least I was, until you came along.
Researcher Heart:Come on, what's missing from all this?
Researcher May:I don't know… Perhaps I'm completely irrelevant… Or that your buildup was simply atrocious. Cmon, who just tosses a shoe and says "Here's breakfast". Actually, scratch that, that would have been very fitting.
Researcher Heart: Well thank heavens for amnestics, I'll do better next time.
Researcher May:Wait a minute, I think I understand what SCP-XXXX was getting at.
Researcher Heart: You'd better hurry…
Researcher Heart begins to put her boot back on.
Researcher May:No, you should be running. I see the pattern now. We're done.
