SCP-XXXX prior to acquisition
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a dry cell block within the 06-Wing of Site-35 facility monitored under 24hr video surveillance. Annual lubrication of body and components are to be carried out to prevent further oxidization. SCP-XXXX is not deemed to be a threat while the engine is off; therefore, lubrication applications may be carried out by personnel with a security rating as low as level two (2). In the event of a security breach, SCP-XXXX is to be deemed low priority due to its inactive state.
SCP-XXXX's ignition keys are to be contained in a standard lock box in the 05-Wing of Site-35 facility. Due to the anomalous properties activated by ignition of the engine, under no circumstance will the ignition keys be accessed by any personnel with a security rating lower than level four (4).
Description: SCP-XXXX is a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS model. Vehicle frame and components in good repair; however, upon initial attainment, status report describes SCP-XXXX to be in poor condition and inoperable. SCP-XXXX displays multiple anomalous properties summarized below.
- Once engine is turned over, SCP-XXXX begins to speak through AM/FM radio frequencies and engage in dialogue with the operator (Research Report: R-XXXX-1).
- Looking into the rearview mirror reveals a subject’s “past”, particularly a moment of their life that was troubling (Research Report: R-XXXX-2).
- Setting gears to reverse and engaging the throttle subsequently causes subjects to be “absorbed” by SCP-XXXX (Research Report: R-XXXX-3. (a)).
- Absorbed subjects can engage in dialogue with operators through AM/FM radio frequencies (Research Report: R-XXXX-3. (b)).
- SCP-XXXX will seemingly repair and refurbish its components of its own volition (Research Report: R-XXXX-4).1
Anomalous properties remain inactive if engine is off. For this reason, SCP-XXXX and its ignition key are to be contained separately.

SCP-XXXX's radio
Initial investigation into the anomalous properties revealed SCP-XXXX to be sentient and capable of basic communication.
Tests have concluded that once SCP-XXXX’s engine is started the operating subject begins to hear a voice emanate through the AM/FM radio frequencies. In every case of a subject conversing with SCP-XXXX the subjects were being instructed to look into the rear view mirror which results in an emotional response from subjects.
100% of subjects have refused to recount the events of what they experienced during testing. Further experimentation will be required to determine what subjects see in the mirror. (1)
(1) R-XXXX-1 Update as per Dr. Rodrick
Further testing has revealed what subjects see in the mirror when instructed to do so. Subject D-0356 has been the first to describe what they see.

Dr. Rodrick: [Intercom] Please begin.
[Sound of engine heard turning over]
[Several minutes pass with only the sounds of the idling engine]
D-0356: Nothing doc. Are you sure about this?
Dr. Rodrick: Remain patient, please.
D-0356: I’m not hearing anythi-
[Static can be heard along with muffled sounds]
D-0356: Wait, hang on… Hello?
SCP-XXXX: …Hello?
D-0356: What are you?
SCP-XXXX: We are… happy.
D-0356: What is it that you want?
SCP-XXXX: We want you to… [Static]
D-0356: I’m sorry? You want me to what?
SCP-XXXX: … Be happy too.
D-0356: What do you mean? How would you know if I’m happy or not?
SCP-XXXX: All have lost something. We know… that which has been lost… we know… how to help those who have lost… we can help you too… █████.
D-0356: How do you know my name? How do you know about my life or what I have or haven’t lost?
SCP-XXXX: Explore your past … look into the mirror… and what has been lost to you will be exposed.
[D-0356 looks into mirror]
D-0356: What… I… Don’t understand… how can… this can’t be possible.
Dr. Rodrick: [Intercom] 356, please hold your composure and describe what you see.
D-0356: Is… is that?…
Dr. Rodrick: [Intercom] 356, report.
D-0356: It’s… it’s my daughter… I can see her…
Dr. Rodrick: [Intercom] Your daughter?
SCP-XXXX: We can bring you back to that moment… We [Static] you back [Static]… with her…
D-0356: How… how do I go back?
Dr. Rodrick: [Intercom] 356, testing is complete. Cease dialogue and turn off the engi-
SCP-XXXX: [Static]… Reverse…through time…we can take you to her…
D-0356: You can take me back? Is it really her?
Dr. Rodrick: [Intercom] 356! We strongly advise you to terminate communications and kill the engine, are you listening to me? 356!
SCP-XXXX: We want you… to be happy…
[Commotion heard as Dr. Rodrick gives orders]
Dr. Rodrick: [Directed to on site security] Get in there! Now! Get him out! Kill the engi-

Closing Statement: Subject D-0356 was successfully extracted from SCP-XXXX and the engine had successfully been shut off. SCP-XXXX’s ignition key was removed and re-contained in its lock box. All instances of anomalies ceased once the key was removed. Subject D-0356 underwent psychiatric analysis prior to a follow-up interview.

SCP-XXXX's rear view mirror
Follow-up interview was conducted by Dr. Rodrick. Subject D-0356 reflected on encounter with SCP-XXXX as well as the anomalous experience with the rear view mirror.
Subject D-0356 stated the voices he heard made him feel “at ease” and brought him feelings of support and trust. When asked what was revealed to him while looking into the mirror, Subject D-0356 stated that he saw “a painful memory”. When asked to elaborate, he proceeded to recollect the moment of his life where he and his now ex-wife had learned of their deceased daughters’ leukemia. Subject D-0356 went on to describe how he has lamented for years over their loss and blames himself for not recognizing the signs sooner.
When inquiring what relevance this held in respect to what he had seen in the mirror, Subject D-0356 stated the following:
“I saw the moment of my daughter’s life when the disease first struck. The very moment it infested her body and began to fester. The moment I have always wished I had back with the knowledge I have now so I could do it again, and not waste time getting her the treatment she needed, and here’s this car I’m sitting in not only showing me this but telling me that it could take me back to that moment so I could right that wrong. I understand that it’s impossible… How could it be possible? It doesn’t make any sense.”
-Subject D-0356.
Interview results suggest any subject who engages with SCP-XXXX are shown regrettable moments of their past within the rear view mirror and are offered the chance to return to that time to correct said moments or retrieve “that which has been lost” as quoted from SCP-XXXX. Further tests required to determine if this is possible.
Subject D-0356 had stated he would like to continue testing the properties associated with the rear view mirror, though Dr. Rodrick has suggested that such an idea would be ill-advised. Testing to determine extent of anomalous capabilities will continue on schedule with newly assigned subject D-0589.

NOTICE
This report has been reworked by the request of Dr. Rodrick following an incident which took place during testing (see incident report INC-XXXX-1). Research Report R-XXXX-3 originally served to further knowledge in the anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX's rear view mirror; however, the aforementioned incident has exposed a different anomaly that will be covered in two parts (a&b).The following report will focus on the anomalous instance of SCP-XXXX's ability to absorb humans into itself. To refer to the anomaly of the victims’ voice being heard through the AM/FM radio; refer to secondary research report R-XXXX-3. (b).
Driver Seat
Subject D-0356’s fate has provided the opportunity to discover a new anomalous instance observed during the events of Incident INC-XXXX-1. If a subject follows the instruction of SCP-XXXX, setting the gear to reverse and accelerating, the body of the subject is subsequently absorbed into SCP-XXXX's driver seat. According to SCP-XXXX, this is a method of time travel which the subject can utilize to travel back to a troubling passed moment in their life to correct (refer to research report R-XXXX-2).
Initial hypothesis was that the subject was simply erased from existence or killed outright; however, while the promise of time travel is believed to be a false claim, additional research has determined that there is a small amount of validity that exists in respect to subjects been able to “return” to those moments in some way which has led Dr. Rodrick to believe that the subject is still "alive" in a sense (refer to secondary research report R-XXXX-3. (b)).
Subjects absorbed by SCP-XXXX do not leave anything behind. Extensive investigations have been held in expectation to retrieve some form of remnant of Subject D-0356 after incident INC-XXXX-1; however, attempts were unsuccessful.

Research Director: Dr. Rodrick
Date: █ █- █ █- █ █
Subject D-0589 had agreed to further testing despite incident INC-XXXX-1 as per Dr. Rodrick’s clearance; following new procedures to confirm mental stability of subjects prior to testing.Testing has found that subjects who fall victim to SCP-XXXX and are absorbed into the driver seat remain "alive" in some way within SCP-XXXX and are able to converse with whomever occupies the drivers’ seat via the AM/FM radio. This anomaly had been involuntarily been discovered by subject D-0589 during the re-visitation of tests to engage SCP-XXXX in dialogue to discover what it had done to Subject D-0356.
During testing, subject D-0589 began to converse with SCP-XXXX seemingly in the same manor as subject D-0356; however, moments into the interaction, the voice of subject D-0356 began to speak to subject D-0589.
Refer to below Audio Log transcript below:
Forward: Recorded conversation between Subject D-0589, SCP-XXXX, and Subject D-0356.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Rodrick: [Intercom] You may proceed.
D-0589: Got it.
[Sound of engine turning over]
[Several minutes pass with only the sound of the idling engine]
Dr. Rodrick: [Intercom] Let me remind you, 589 that you shall not, under any circums-
D-0589: Yes, I know sir. Under no circumstance will I be seduced by a car to kill myself.
[Static can be heard along with muffled sounds]
D-0589: Here we go.
Dr. Rodrick: [Intercom] Maintain composure.
SCP-XXXX: …. [Static]… Hello?
D-0589: Hello.
SCP-XXXX: We… know what you’ve lost…
D-0589: What have I lost?
SCP-XXXX: Explore your past … look into the mirror… and what has been lost to you will be exposed.
D-0589: I don’t think I will actually, but thanks for the offer. Tell me why you killed █████.
SCP-XXXX: We… did not.
D-0589: Bullshit. What happened to him then? He just decided to vanish on his own?
[Static can be heard followed by the sounds of the radio shifting frequencies]
D-0356: Hi ███.
D-0589: … █████? Is… is that you?
D-0356: Yes.
D-0589: What’s going on? Where are you?
D-0356: I’m with her, ███. I’m with my daughter.
D-0589: We thought you died. What did this thing do to you?
D-0356: I was given the chance to save my little girl… I’m with her now… I can be with her forever.
D-0589: █████. How can we get you out? How can we save you?
D-0356: I don’t need to be saved… I’m where I belong.
D-0589: Where are you?
D-0356: This car… It lets you… be where you want to be… I don’t need anything else… I’m where I want to be.
D-0589: Do you exist apart from this thing? What happens to you when it’s shut off?
D-0356: This car… it lets you live out your lost moments forever… whether it’s shut off or not… I still exist within it… with my little girl.
Dr. Rodrick: [Intercom] Inquire about his daughter.
D-0589: … What about your girl █████? Where is she now?
D-0356: She’s here… with me.
D-0589: Can she talk to me?
D-0356: … Say hello sweetheart.
[minutes pass with only silence]
D-0589: █████? Are you there?
D-0356: … [laughs] Sorry. Once she gets talking, she doesn’t stop…
D-0589: … I couldn’t hear her █████.
D-0356: I can hear her. It’s all that matters…
D-0589: █████, I’m sorry…
D-0356: Don’t be… I’m taken care of here…
[Static can be heard followed by the sounds of the radio shifting frequencies]
D-0589: █████? Hello?
SCP-XXXX: Explore your past … look into the mirror… and what has been lost to you will be exposed… [Static] …we can take care of you too… just as we have taken care of all others…
D-0589: What did you do to him? Why did you take him?
SCP-XXXX: We… need them… just as they need us… If you come with us… you will see… just as all others have seen…
D-0589: I’m tired of your God damn riddles! Tell me why you took █████!
SCP-XXXX: …The more of us there is… the more complete we are…we all desire… to be made whole again… as do you… ███. Look into the mirror… and that which has been lost to you will be exposed…
D-0058: Fuck you.
[Sound of idling engine stops as subject D-0589 shuts off SCP-XXXX]
[Sound of car door opening and shutting can be heard]
Dr. Rodrick: [Intercom] 589, you were not instructed to end the test.
D-0589: Yeah well, fire me. Or better yet, you put your life on the line and come in here and do this yourself! If I’m the one who’s at risk I say when I’m done!
Dr. Rodrick: [Intercom] … Very well. Considering you have unveiled another anomaly pertaining to this skip I will overlook your insubordination.
D-0589: Lucky me.
Dr. Rodrick: [Intercom] Please return to the interrogation room for debrief.
<End Log>
Closing Statement:
Dr Rodrick's hypothesis suggests SCP-XXXX needs the life force of humans in order to restore its own weathered body and components while simultaneously creating a false reality for the conscious of those it absorbs to live out a desired eternity within SCP-XXXX. Dr. Rodrick has commented that SCP-XXXX and its victim’s coexistence and behavior are not unlike a biological symbiotic relationship.
Addendum: Incident INC-XXXX-1 had caused SCP-XXXX's left side window to be destroyed. Repairs had been scheduled to fix the glass prior to further testing of anomalous properties; however, SCP-XXXX was witnessed on security footage to seemingly “grow” a new glass window of its own accord. In addition to this, the front seats, the body (including front bumper, grill and headlights) and paint have effectively repaired themselves to new condition prior to research report R-XXXX-3. (a). This brings about the instance of a fourth anomaly to be examined in future research.
Research Report: R-XXXX-4
Research Director: Dr. Rodrick
Date: █ █- █ █- █ █
SCP-XXXX in containment
Over the course of several weeks, SCP-XXXX has been observed restoring its weathered frame and inoperable parts of its own volition. Curiously, this anomaly remains active even while the engine is off, though is not considered dangerous.
Instances of this anomaly began to surface after the events of incident INC-XXXX-1. This, in conjunction with subject D-0589’s encounter with SCP-XXXX during testing has led Dr. Rodrick to believe that SCP-XXXX needs to essentially “feed” on humans in order to use their own life force to repair itself (refer to comparison between initial acquisition photo and photo of SCP-XXXX in containment post incident INC-XXXX-1)
Full extent of relationship between SCP-XXXX and it's absorbed victims has yet to be explored; however, Dr. Rodrick theorizes that the relationship is a form of symbiosis, and that SCP-XXXX's main goal is to restore itself to perfect condition.
As of now, SCP-XXXX is eighty-five percent (85%) restored with various components still in need of repair. Further research required to determine outcome if SCP-XXXX reaches on-hundred percent (100%) restoration. (1)
(1) R-XXXX-4 Update as per Dr. Rodrick
Testing is considered to be too dangerous to continue at this time. No further research will be conducted on SCP-XXXX until a safer alternative to human subjects is determined.
Addendum: Dr. Rodrick has ordered all research into SCP-XXXX to cease until further notice and is in the process of determining if it is necessary to risk human life to uncover the result of SCP-XXXX's complete restoration. Moving forward, SCP-XXXX's ignition key is to remain contained in its lockbox located in the 05-Wing of Site-35 facility monitored under 24hr video surveillance with no access permitted without the consent of Dr. Rodrick. SCP-XXXX is to continue receiving annual body and component lubrication per its containment procedures.
Incident Report:
Incident Report: INC-XXXX-1
On-site personnel:
- Dr. Rodrick
- Subject D-0589
- Security Team A-35-6
- Subject D-0356
Date: █ █- █ █- █ █
During initial retest to determine extent of conversational capabilities of SCP-XXXX with newly assigned Subject D-0589, Subject D-0356 who had previously been assigned to testing gained unauthorized access into the containment chamber shortly after SCP-XXXX was started by subject D-0589.
Following the security breach into the containment chamber, Subject D-0356 proceeded to forcefully open the drivers door of SCP-XXXX, pulling Subject D-0589 out onto the ground. Dr. Rodrick dispatched security personnel from his observation room to apprehend Subject D-0356; however, Subject D-0356 had locked himself inside SCP-XXXX and could not be reached. Security personnel were instructed not to damage SCP-XXXX in their attempt to apprehend Subject D-0356.
Dr. Rodrick ordered Subject D-0356 to exit SCP-XXXX and turn over The ignition keys in promise that he would be dealt with fairly. Subject D-0356 apologized to Dr. Rodrick before being observed looking into SCP-XXXX's rear view mirror and smiling.
Dr. Rodrick addressed Subject D-0356 by given name █████, in an attempt to reason and deter him from proceeding with suspected impending action. Subject D-0356 stated that he needed to “be with her” moments before being witnessed setting SCP-XXXX into reverse gear and pressing the throttle.
SCP-XXXX's engine was heard revving loudly though did not travel any distance, and Subject D-0356’s body was then absorbed into the drivers’ seat in its entirety.
The means of which Subject D-0356 was able to bypass security measures has yet to be determined, and is being investigated intensely. Security Team A-35-6 service has been suspended pending interrogation of each member by the 05 Council. A new security team has been supplied in the interim.
Addendum: Following this incident, SCP-XXXX's left side window was destroyed in order to shut off the engine and retrieve the ignition keys per Dr. Rodrick’s instruction. Glass repair has been scheduled before any further testing can commence.
