Sneaky Goose

Item #: SCP-__

Object Class: Euclid

Containment Procedures: SCP-__ is contained in a furnished bedroom, preferably one that would belong to a male child of 12 years of age. The SCP must have a constant supply of power and must be only be approached by no more than 2 personnel at one time. If the bedroom is not furnished, SCP-__ will begin to draw the facility's power until a surge occurs. This may result in the containment breach of other SCPs. If SCP-__ is not powered, anyone near a half-mile radius will begin to lose consciousness and vitals signs will begin to go critical. Access to the bedroom is restricted to Level 3 personnel and D-Class personnel used for testing purposes.

Description:
SCP-__ is an original Sony PlayStation 3 that includes a pair of Dualshock 3 controllers. Any attempt to disconnect either controller from the game system will prove unsuccessful. The controllers have the ability to pair themselves back to the console. Any attempt to separate either controller from the console is also unsuccessful. The controllers will manifest themselves back to the console once a radius of 25ft, or the distance where the controllers lose signal, is surpassed. Research also concludes that any attempt to pair another controller or device to the game system will lead to that device shorting out and leading to its permanent destruction.

The game system appears to function exactly like an ordinary PS3 game system in every aspect. Yet, once a game loads, any player or players holding the Dualshock controllers will change their stance, whatever position it may be, to an upright sitting position with their legs crossed. A blank expression will appear on their face and they will appear to be in a sort of trance. No form of physical contact will release them from this trance. Players show aggression when anyone grabs the controllers from their hands.

To a person observing the player or players, it appears that they are mentally “teleported” into the game as they seems to only respond to stimuli from within the game such as leaning when turning a car. However, the player or players will sustain physical damage from the damage they receive in the game. For example, if a player is slashed in the game they play, a slash will manifest on the body of the player in the same location they were attacked.

Anyone who plays a game on this system will be stuck in the game, only escaping its trance by completing whatever game inserted. All injuries sustained from the game will be maintained after escape and will heal through natural processes. If players play a cooperative game, no matter what kind of cooperative game it may be, only one player will be able to escape the induced trance. From testing with player versus player games, the victor will be the one that emerges from the trance. With player versus enemy missions, the player with the best performance will emerge. SCP-__ favors the better performing player. The player that is not so fortunate will either succumb to their sustained injuries from the gameplay or will be stuck in the trance. Said players will be renamed to SCP-__ -1. MTF will terminate SCP-__-1 after approximately 2 hours from game completion as will allow their brain function to cease on its own before full termimantion. It is noted that if anyone were to force the game to quit or even shut off the system mid-game, the player or players will both collapse in a vegetative, brain-dead state.

Research Documentation:

Test 1:

Researcher: Dr. Fitch

Experiment Outline: Two D-class personnel, D-2840 and D-9204, are tasked with playing a death match in a popular first person shooter.

Notes: D-2840 was able to win the death match by repeatedly shooting D-9204 in the chest. D-9204 collapsed after 12 shots and D-2840 awoke from the trance claiming, "It was too easy." D-9204 was escorted out by guards and sent to an increased containment cell.

Test 1:

Researcher: Dr. Fitch

Experiment Outline: One D-class personnel, D-3570, is tasked with playing an incomplete game.

Notes: D-3570 could not complete the game. A single guard was sent in to extract D-3570. One the system was shut off, D-3570 collapsed and was sent for termination shortly after.
