SCP-4152

The Flash Camera


Item #: SCP-4152

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4152 is to be kept in an airtight 8x7x3m room made with steel. Weekly checks are done for any cracks or holes in the walls. Any movements of the camera or the camera is [DATA EXPUNGED] will immediately be reported to the O5 council. If SCP-4152 Containment Zone has any holes in the wall, then SCP-4152 testing will be terminated until further notice. SCP-4152 has the power to affect other SCPs except SCP-███ and SCP-343. But it is unable to terminate the SCP. SCP-4152s Containment Zone has to have thick steel walls and a thick steel roof due to the “flash” that can go through thin steel.
Description: SCP-4152 also the “Flash Camera” is a stand-up camera resembling a 1940's model. SCP-4152 is estimated to be 2.1 meters tall. In the Containment Zone there is a 2x4m line square box, if you stand in it, the camera will take a photo of you immediately, the photo is taken, it is kept in a cartridge that is unremovable. None of the photo’s SCP-4152 has taken have been seen.
The subject will be referred to as 4152-A. When 4152-A stands in the line square box, a picture will be taken. 4152-A will be very drowsy and tired for about 20-30 seconds, 4152-A will fall unconscious for exactly one minute. Regaining consciousness, 4152-A will forget basic human functions and begin to scream inaudibly. After 10 minutes, 4152-A will have no control of itself. If contacting anyone within 12 hours, they'll get the same infection. During this time 4152-A will run faster than the normal person at ███km/h.
After 12 hours 4152-A will die. When 4152-A dies, their body will begin to wrinkle and shrink. Soon after, SCP-4152 affects the organs from inside which will rot away ███ times faster than the normal speed. When there is no blood or organs in 4152-A’s body left, 4152-A’s skin will be rot away. After that 4152-A’s bone and muscle will rot away until all that is left is bone marrow and dried blood vessels.
SCP-4152 must not be taken out of their Containment Zone under no circumstances. Personnel who are Level-4 or O5-█ may enter the containment of SCP-4152. SCP-4152 has a battery life despite being a 1940's model, pictures can only be taken at 100% because 100% is taken away after every photo. SCP-4152 will not charge until its battery is dead.
SCP-4152 is stuck to the floor, over 20 attempts to remove it from the floor but it was failure. SCP-4152 is made from black painted titanium. The floor surrounding the SCP was moved from [REDACTED] 20km away from the site. Testing on 4152 has been terminated.


Audio log from 4152-I
Interviewee: ██████

<Begin Log>
SCP-4152 appears to be off. Dr. █████ tried standing behind the Camera as CD-███ stood in the red line. Dr. █████ complaint that he saw something small go on the camera.

██████: So, why did you bring me here?

Dr. ██████: I want to have an interview of SCP-4152 that you have found?

Dr. ██████: What did you first think of when you found it?

██████: I thought it as an ordinary camera at first, but it was just lying there, it looked like it was trying to be destroyed. There were hammers and dints on the floor around the area. It wasn’t just me it was me, it was me and ███. ███ and I saw the red line, but ███ went in it first and suddenly it took a photo of him. Around 30-35 seconds ███ fell unconscious. I tried waking him up but he suddenly he woke up after 1 minute. He started vomiting blood and bleeding from the ears and nose, he tried to talk but it sounded horrible. I tried to take him back to the SCPF. He made it to the SCPF, but they didn’t recover him, as he died 12 hours later the incident happened. No one knew what happened to his body, all I remember is seeing his ashes being burned. The SCP was later transported to the site. The Science Department did many tests on 4152 but all that happened was the same.

Dr. ██████: Why do you think these actions happen to the people who take the photo?

██████: Well I think because it has a powerful and bright flash. But I would probably research about the flash of the camera.

Dr. ██████: We’ve done multiple tests on the SCP and everyone that came in contact with the affected person also got infected

██████: [Pause]

Dr. ██████: Did you come into contact with your infected partner?

██████: No, he looked terrible and judging by things from other SCPs I decided not to touch him.

Dr. ██████: Did he try to touch you?

██████: Yes, he tried to touch me, I dodged it.

Dr. ██████: [Paper is heard moving] And here it says he ran away from you at ██km/h to the closest person. You said it was like you were invisible?

██████: Yes, that’s what happened. I managed to get him restrained and took him to site which was about 20km away, it was so close to the site it wasn't funny.

Dr. ██████: They took him to the MD and administered [DATA EXPUNGED] into him?

██████: Yes, I told them the location of the camera and they removed the ground around it and transported it to the [REDACTED]. Overall ██ people got infected from 4152, I just thank god I didn't get infected
