Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained at its location of discovery. It is to be maintained in the public eye that SCP-XXXX's location of discovery is non-anomalous.

Description: SCP-XXXX is Pleiades, a petascale supercomputer previously owned and operated by NASA.

SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties arose unexpectedly in December 2019, when it suddenly ceased normal operations and began executing programming instructions from an unknown source. Additionally, its interfaces have been locked out, apparently having restricted operating privileges to an unknown third party. SCP-XXXX also possesses an advanced bioprinter that suddenly manifested between several node racks upon gaining its anomalous properties. This bioprinter is evidently operated wirelessly. At irregular intervals, SCP-XXXX's bioprinter will begin printing an instance of SCP-XXXX-1, an anomalous specimen of Drosophila melanogaster¹, and its screen will display a "Name" and "Gene Description". Once it is done printing, SCP-XXXX will release the SCP-XXXX-1 instance, allowing it free roam of the facility.

Addendum XXXX-A: Examples of SCP-XXXX-1 Instances

Name	Gene Description	Description of Properties
Lana	Her eyes are covered by a large, purple cloud.	Instance's head was completely encompassed by a miniaturized cloud. Cloud's shape did not change, and was intangible. Cloud remained after instance's death.
Javascript	It runs on code.	Instance, though apparently otherwise non-anomalous, was described as "robot-like".
The Brainless Fly	The fly that has no brain.	Instance lacked a brain.
I'm with the Cheddar	The fly that has no brain. But the flies aren't with the Cheddar!	Instance lacked a brain. When brought into contact with a block of cheddar cheese, instance exploded.
Screamo Enya	She sings very loudly when you give her some love.	Instance appeared to have black and white "face paint"2. When verbally praised, instance began transmitting a radio singal. Signal's contents consisted of a cover of musician Enya's "Only Time", with vocals consisting of unintelligible yelling.
Gripping Burden	Stays alive even if it doesn't move much.	Instance consists solely of the head of a Drosophila melanogaster specimen. Instance has remained alive since creation, despite the lack of vital organs.
