SCP-5776 upon initial discovery.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Any personnel who are found to have revealed this document to SCP-5776 will receive appropriate disciplinary action.

Special Containment Procedures: Under no circumstances must SCP-5776 discover the existence of this document. SCP-5776 is to be kept in a soundproof room in Sector 4 of Site-19, and should be placed in a glass container visible from the viewing window. If any member of staff wishes to read the documentation supplied outside SCP-5776’s chamber, the containment room’s window must be blacked out so the object cannot view the document in question.

Description: SCP-5776 is an infohazardous entity that is able to alter descriptions of itself. This property has been shown to manifest only in textual, video, photo, or audio recollections. SCP-5776 typically chooses to display itself as an extremely hazardous entity with the ability to onset an XK-Class End-of-the-World Scenario, though in reality, it poses no known threat to human life. SCP-5776’s infohazardous properties are only in effect when SCP-5776 is aware of the exact way it is presented in the medium.

SCP-5776’s effect is usually noticeable, with the altered depiction having some form of indication such as incorrect grammar, tone or abrupt statements. These effects are believed to be unintentional.

SCP-5776 is visually similar to a standard marshmallow, approximately 1.5 inches tall and 0.5 inches in diameter, and in neutral state displays a 'smiley face'.¹ When SCP-5776 discovers it has been portrayed in a non-threatening manner, the object’s face will immediately shift to depict an angered expression.² It is capable of limited mobility, including small hops, swaying gently and falling on its curved side to roll. It is currently unknown whether SCP-5776 is sentient.

Recovery: SCP-5776 was discovered on 29/05/2015 by Agent Addison during her break in a staff room in Site-19. The agent recalls consuming ‘Haribo‘ brand marshmallows³ during an off-duty lunch hour upon pulling SCP-5776 from her bag. The following is a description of camera footage taken during this event.

+ Show Security Footage Description

<Begin Log>

(Agent Addison can be seen rummaging through the pack of Haribo brand marshmallows before pausing.)

Agent Addison: Wh-

(Agent Addison pulls SCP-5776 out of the bag.)

Agent Addison: Aw.

(SCP-5776 displays an angered expression and begins wriggling in Agent Addison’s hand, causing Agent Addison to release her grip and drops SCP-5776.)

Agent Addison: (Shrieks) Oh m- What the heck was that?

Agent Wilson: (Sat nearby) What’s wrong?

(SCP-5776 begins swiftly rolling away, escaping the staff room.)

<End Log>

Following this log, SCP-5776 rolled halfway down the corridor before being stopped by Site Director Wilkinson. SCP-5776 was soon given anomalous classification and assigned containment procedures.

Addendum 5776.1: Testing
To date, there have been 3 tests to determine the boundaries of SCP-5776’s effect. The following is a description of each test performed on the item.

+ Show SCP-5776 Test Logs

Date: 11/06/2015

Test 5776-001: D-4415 was positioned directly in front of SCP-5776, and was prompted to write a visual description of the object. D-4415 was instructed not to read aloud or show SCP-5776 the contents of the description. After the first sentence, D-4415 was prompted to show the item how it was depicted. Afterwards, the writing was erased and rewritten.

Results: No anomalous activity was observed until SCP-5776 was exposed to the writing. Following exposure, the text was immediately changed to describe an extremely hostile shape-shifting entity. SCP-5776 displayed an angered expression for approximately five (5) minutes following this. After it entered a neutral state, the text was erased and rewritten. In response to this, SCP-5776 displayed an irritated expression and the text was again changed.⁴

Date: 02/07/2015

Test 5776-002: D-4415 was instructed to write on a sheet of paper, ‘Are you able to think, speak or otherwise communicate?’. Note from Researcher Grey: We weren’t sure if this would trigger a reaction, so ‘you little puff ball’ was added for good measure. SCP-5776 was then exposed to the text.

Results: No anomalous activity was observed until D-4415 revealed the question to SCP-5776. After exposure, the text was altered to display a shape-shifting entity capable of creating an XK-End Of The World Scenario. On the opposite side of the page, a small ink smudge had notably increased in darkness. Microscopic analysis revealed the word ‘embarrassed’ was written approximately 250 times in this space. It is unknown if this is a programmed response or if SCP-5776 was displaying sentience on this occasion.

Date: 06/10/2017

Test 5776-003: D-5014, a former tattoo artist, was instructed to draw an accurate representation of SCP-5776 on a provided sheet of paper, facing away from the object. A researcher was then instructed to describe the drawing out loud. Approximately halfway through the drawing’, D-5014 was prompted to show SCP-5776 the produced drawing and continue until completion.

Results: No anomalous activity was observed until SCP-5776 was informed of the nature of the drawing by a researcher. SCP-5776 displayed an angered expression upon hearing this description of itself, though the physical drawing did not alter.⁵ When D-5014 allowed SCP-5776 to view the drawing, the already produced artwork immediately altered to depict an unknown creature. D-5014 continued and seemed incapable of rendering an accurate depiction of SCP-5776. This caused D-5014 mild distress and the test was concluded.

Addendum 5776.2: Containment Update
On 22/05/2020, SCP-5776 discovered the existence of its documents. This is believed to have been caused by junior researchers reading the documentation loudly outside SCP-5776’s room. This resulted in Researcher Grey having to re-write much of the altered text. Note: We thank Researcher Grey for spending many hours on this endeavour. Following this incident, the current containment procedures have been put into place, now requiring SCP-5776’s containment room to be soundproof.

Footnotes

1. Analysis reveals this to be hand drawn with a black marker.

2. Typically including the appearance of eyebrows.

3. Heavy investigation has revealed that the brand was not part of SCP-5776’s creation.

4. This indicates that SCP-5776 has the ability to detect any changes to its own altered text.

5. It is believed that unlike textual descriptions, the item must first be visually exposed to a photo or piece of artwork before it can be altered.
