Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently being held in site 7 within a 12x13 meter soundproof room. With the approval of foundation staff, the subject is currently in possession of two 27” inch gaming monitors, an HP Omen Gaming Desktop, a mini fridge, and 3 gaming consoles (The Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and an X-Box 1). The foundation has also given the approval for SCP-XXXX to ask for funding to purchase (approved) video games and merchandises from any of the three consoles.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an 18-year-old male of Caucasian decent with brown hair and brown eyes. Before containment, the subject had bleached parts of his hair with red highlight, and regularly wore blue contacts. (Added: SCP-XXXX notes that due to losing a bet with a classmate, he was given the instructions to bleach his hair red. The contacts, however, were a personal choice)
SCP-XXXX was born in Dartmouth, Massachusetts under the name Thomas Grey, but was relocated in 2005 to the state of Rhode Island along with his older brother, Mason Grey, after their mother, xxxxxx xxxxxxxx, gained custody of them during a bitter divorce with her husband.
Addendum 1:
Subject was discovered by foundation staff member, Dr. Erwin Weber, on 03/21/21 after his daughter came home from school and informed him about a boy who could seemingly play music out of thin air. Upon hearing the news, Dr. Weber immediately requested the foundations assistance to further investigate the situation, adding to the record that his daughter was deaf, and had been since birth.
According to eyewitnesses, SCP-XXXX had been secretly “performing” around the school for about a month before holding a brief concert during lunch for some of his friends, which had ultimately caught the attention of his deaf classmate.
SCP-XXXX was successfully brought into the foundations care in 3/25/21 after another brief performance from the subject was given during one of the high school’s yearly talent show. He requested that the schools media team briefly turn off all on stage electronics, with the exception of a few stage lights, before performing a simple ballet on an unseen piano. Dr. Weber’s daughter was noted to have been moved to tears throughout the entirety of the performance.
Everyone involved with the subject was later given amnestic’s after his containment, despite many finding his act to be, while tasteful, some sort of “poor joke” or “a waste of time”.
Addendum 2:
SCP-XXXX can play any instrument he desires seemingly out of thin air. All sounds produced however, do not always come directly from the subject himself, but can also protrude from various directions, more specifically, from wherever SCP-XXXX seems to be facing or pointing.
It is currently unknown if SCP-XXXX has limits to how far he can produce sound. As proven during one of the foundations tests, subject has demonstrated to play the flute from 150 meters away.
Addendum 3: During SCP-XXXX’s first interview with Dr. Weber, it was revealed to the foundation that he was first “taught” how to play the guitar while on a class field trip to xxxxxxxx University 3 months ago. SCP-XXXX mentions that he snuck away from his group and ran into a band student playing the instrument in one of the empty classrooms.
The University Student offered to teach the subject how to play, however, SCP-XXXX noticed that the guitar, in fact, had no strings. Subject asked how he was able to play with a broken instrument, and it was then he was given the opportunity on how to play himself, noting that it "took a couple of tries, but he eventually got it right".
Dr. Weber asked the subject to demonstrate how he was taught, and perhaps even teach him how to play the unseen guitar, but despite the subject’s compliance, he was unsuccessful in doing so.
- Edit to Add: It was later confirmed by the subject that during his time with the university student, he was unable to play any instruments professionally, but after learning this anomalous ability, he self-tutored through various YouTube Videos and learned to play 14 instruments total before containment.
- Edit 2: The University student the subject is referring to goes by the name Tyrone Reeves, however, after being questioned by the foundation, Tyrone not only did not know the subject, but also informed the foundation that he neither played the guitar, or any other instrument. This was all later proven after a thorough investigation.
- Added 03/31/21: Rhode Island resident, Tyrone Reeves, was last seen entering xxxxxxxx Universities restroom at 10:05am, followed by another male student with a dark blue hoodie approximately 20 seconds later. The Foundation is currently searching for any signs of their whereabouts. The University could not identify the student he was last scene with, nor are there any state records of the individual’s existence.
The following list provides the testing and observation notes of SCP-XXXX.
[Testing Procedures]
Procedure:Subject was given the task to sing as loud as he could, once by himself, the second time using an instrument.
Results: Subject was able to use auto tune through his vocals to create a high pitched shrill, causing Dr. Weber and Doctor ** glasses to shatter, along with the containments observation window. Dr ** later made record of the fact she now suffers from tinnitus.
Procedure: Subject was given several physical instruments (a violin, bass, guitar, saxophone, trumpet, the triangle, and an electric key board) and was asked to play each of them individually.
Results: All sound produced from the instruments listed above could not be heard when SCP-XXXX came in contact with them, however, Dr. Weber found all of them to be in perfect condition, and could even be used by other staff members, including himself. SCP-XXXX reported that he felt rather distressed when trying to play. The cause of this unexpected side effect is currently unknown.
Procedure: SCP-XXXX was asked to play an instrument he has never played before, in this case being the bagpipes.
Result: SCP-XXXX was unable to do so, but after being shown a very brief and basic tutorial on how to play, subject was able to produce and replicated the sounds of a bagpipe (all-be-it out of tune). Subject started practicing in his own time, and had mastered the instrument within a week.
Procedure: SCP-XXXX was requested to play for a group of deaf D-Class personnel members.
Results: All 5 D-Class personnel members could hear the subject play. D-Class member 48892, a 32yo female who was born deaf, is noted to have been moved to tears along with D-Class member 96266, a 23yo male, who requested and volunteered to revisit SCP-XXXX. All and any future requests to re-visit SCP-XXXX are to be denied.
Procedure: SCP-XXXX was asked to try and use other everyday items other than instruments.
Results: SCP-XXXX tried sweeping without a broom, but was unsuccessful in doing so. He then tried swinging a baseball bat to hit a ball across the room, which was also shown to be unsuccessful. Subject then tried firing a weapon at the observation window using a "finger gun", but was once again unsuccessful. Subject was quickly reprimanded and given a warning by foundation staff, despite claiming his actions to be nothing but a "stupid joke".
Procedure: The foundation brought in the subjects biological older brother, Mason Grey (29) for further testing, acknowledging the possibility that SCP-XXXX's ability may be genetic.
One way glass separated both the subject and his brother after being placed in adjacent rooms. Only the Mason could see SCP-XXXX, while SCP-XXXX was told that he would be tested with more D-Class members.
Results: Mason Grey could not produce any sound, however, he mentions that whenever he tries to play anything instrumental, including something as basic as whistling, he could not do so properly. Dr. Weber simply stated that his inability to make music is simply because he lacked the skill.
Mason was given amnestic's before being released.
[Observation Notes]
It was discovered that SCP-XXXX has the ability to act as a sort of maestro when playing more than one instrument. The incident was caught on camera while SCP-XXXX tried to recreate an entire song from the American band "AJR".
For example, if he were to play the piano and bass simultaneously, subject would play a few notes of the first instrument in one direction, before facing another to play the second. He can then instruct each instrument to play separately using what looks to be a baton. Subject was unaware of this particular ability before containment, but wishes to learn more about it.
SCP-XXXX has been shown to mimic the vocals of other people, which he has been caught doing in his sleep on multiple occasions, vocalizing popular American singers, both male and female, when doing so.
During a rather difficult interview with Dr. Weber, SCP-XXXX out of anger was used auto tune to give the doctor a rather high pitched voice. After demanding SCP-XXXX to revert this, SCP-XXXX had "muted" the doctor all together, cutting the interview short.
As of 04/02/21, Doctor Erwin Weber is the only foundation member that can not be heard when entering SCP-XXXX containment. All other staff members who interact with SCP-XXXX either have their voices altered, or are pitched too low to be heard/put on record. Despite being told numerous times to change this, SCP-XXXX refuses to comply.
According to Dr. Weber, the argument ensued when SCP-XXXX expressed a sudden desire to go home. After the request was denied, the subject started showing signs of extreme distress, noting that his mother and brother must be worried about him suddenly "disappearing without a trace".
SCP-XXXX has admitted that, for a while, he held partial resentment for Dr. Weber's daughter for his containment, but now decides to focuses most of his ill behavior on her father, quoting the following during a scheduled interview:
"She's deaf. I mean, the last person I expected to bring me here was Mxxxxx. I know she didn't, it's just… sh*t- I don't know. She's sweet. She liked my music. Why did she of all people…
When asked for further explanation, subject also admitted that he over time started to admire Dr. Weber's daughter romantically, and that he even planned on asking her out to prom before being contained by the foundation. However, he finds it quite difficult to think of her that way anymore, but does say playing the violin does bring up old feelings, as it was her favorite instrument to listen to. (Dr. Weber has requested that staff expunge any mention of his daughters name for privacy.)
SCP-XXXX requested to attend his high school prom on 08/08/21, giving his word to not play any music.
The foundation denied his request. However, Dr. Weber made his own request to allow his daughter to visit SCP-XXXX one more time before she graduates, stating that she hasn't been the same since the subject "moved away".
After careful consideration, the foundation has made an appointment for the two to meet, not for their high school prom, but instead for Mxxxxx 's birthday on (10/10/21). They are to meet up at a local restaurant that is temporarily in the foundations possession. All waiters, waitresses, and customers will be staff members in disguise, and so long as the subject doesn't show any signs of hostility, he has been given the permission to play her favorite instrument.
Subject has also been given permission to take photo's to keep for himself, but any photo's taken by Ms. Mxxxxx will be confiscated shortly after their meeting. No further contact will come between the two afterwards unless needed to for future testing.
(!! Important Notice: The appointment mentioned above has been postponed until further notice due to the subjects recent containment breach !!)
Containment Breach:
On 5/17/21, SCP-XXXX broke containment during a scheduled testing arrangement, temporarily immobilizing several staff and security members using his vocals by creating a frequency over 7 Hz. The containment breach lasted for approximately four minutes and five seconds before the subject was neutralized by [expunged].
When questioned about the breach, subject refused to corporate, demanding that the foundation to let him go home. Until further notice, SCP-XXXX is to be detained and guarded whenever interacting with staff members, and/or temporarily leaving containment for testing and/or otherwise.
Requested by Dr. Weber: “SCP-XXXX is currently refusing to cooperate with the foundation. At this point, I am confident that this “rebellious stage” of his is putting foundation staff in danger, and should NOT be ignored any longer.
If SCP-XXXX can create a frequency higher than 7Hz, than there is a great chance he can single handedly take out all staff members within site 7 if not given the proper containment. He refuses to answer any of my questions, and will not shut up about wanting to see his brother.
I implore that we reconsider our current class for the subject and change it to EUCLID until further notice.
[Request is under consideration]
