On December 25th, 2019, SCP-4837 was able to manipulate a smartphone given to them during the course of testing several months earlier. Using their beak and feet, they were able to call SCP-4988, seemingly by typing random numbers. The following is a transcript of the ensuing conversation:

SCP-4988-1: Thank you for calling Restwynn Security Installations. For scheduling, press 2. For product information, Press 3. For cost estimates—

SCP-4837 presses 3.

SCP-4988-1: Hello, are you a new or returning customer?

SCP-4837: I am new to this custom. Tell me, being in the box, what are the wares that you peddle?

SCP-4988-1: At Restwynn Security Installations, we specialize in security systems for the home and business, including cameras, alarm sensors, safes, and—

SCP-4837: Are you capable of… un-installing one of these damnable systems, Ser…

SCP-4988-1: Prafula Basu, sir.

SCP-4837: Prafula, my name is Espoderick. Could you use your magics to undo and disable the system at [REDACTED]1?

SCP-4988-1: I’m sorry, Mr. Derick—

SCP-4837: Espoderick.

SCP-4988-1: But we do not currently service properties in [REDACTED].

SCP-4837: Perhaps an arrangement can be made, Prafula? Look in your left hand.

[At this point, SCP-4988-1 stirred in its tank to look at its left hand. It appears to be empty.]

SCP-4988-1: That’s amazing! How on Earth did you do that?

SCP-4837: I am Espoderick the Magnificent, wizard, and unfortunately, currently a duck. I require your aid in escaping here, oh Prafula of Darkest India.

SCP-4988-1: Unbelievable. All right, if I get you out, I’ll get more of these?

SCP-4837: More than you can imagine.

SCP-4988-1: All right, but I’ll need some things. Do you have a coathanger, a gold coin, and an Xbox controller?

SCP-4837: I do indeed.

[These three items manifest on the floor of SCP-4837’s containment cell It is unknown how the coathanger was acquired.]

SCP-4988-1: Great! I just need you to [DATA EXPUNGED].

SCP-4837: Ye gods! Why didn’t I think of that? The whole wall?

SCP-4988-1: It’s not the first time I’ve done it.

SCP-4837 Unbelievable. Prafula, you utter madman.

[SCP-4837 proceeds to use the implements summoned to [DATA EXPUNGED] resulting in the entire western wall of its containment cell turning into bread crumbs. The coat hanger is fastened into a makeshift harness by SCP-4837, which they use to communicate with SCP-4988.]

SCP-4837: Prafula, if I had lips, I would kiss you!

SCP-4988: All right, now you just have to [REDACTED]. Take two lefts, up the stairs.

SCP-4837: How do you know this? I thought you said you didn’t operate in [REDACTED] yet.

SCP-4988: My company has installed a wide variety of security systems for the home and office, including systems similar to this one.

[SCP-4837 runs through the corridors of the containment facility, violently quacking and nipping at the ankles of all guards it encounters. At one point, it hides underneath a table and ties the shoelaces of two different guards together, causing them to fall over. Prior to exiting the facility, SCP-4837 uses a jam jar to create [DATA EXPUNGED]. While all involved survive, Agent Zelinsky lost two fingers on their left hand as a result of the [REDACTED].]

SCP-4837: The door! I’m almost free! Freedom! Oh Prafula, I am flying to Kolkatta, and we shall be—

[SCP-4837 exits the containment facility, and is immediately subdued by the automated tranquilizer turrets.]

SCP-4837: Blasted… modern… technology… Prafula, I’m sorry. I… will not be… seeing you… after… all. Keep… my… Gift…

[SCP-4837 falls unconscious. The phone on its back disconnects.]

After-Action Report; SCP-4988-1 has pleaded ignorance as to its interaction with SCP-4837. Testing of the fluid in its tank has shown the presence of gold dust, as well as compounds present in gemstones such as sapphires and diamonds.

The security systems of all Foundation facilities are under review to find exploits present in and similarities to Restwynn Security Installations’ products.
