SCP-XXXX: While I Gently Weep

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Item Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 are to be held within a modified humanoid containment cell. The walls of this cell are to be completely soundproofed and no auditory recording devices are to be placed within the cell - visual only devices are permitted, however. Anyone who wishes to enter the cell, unless directed otherwise, are required to wear noise cancelling equipment. 26 people must be within 100 metres of SCP-XXXX at all times.

Item Description SCP-XXXX is a buttercream Fender Stratocaster brand electric guitar that, on its own, shows no anomalous properties. This is changed, however, when combined with SCP-XXXX-1, a male humanoid that has the appearance of a 15-17 year old, is 173 centimetres tall and 60 kilograms in weight. Both items were discovered and contained on █/█/20█

Removal of SCP-XXXX from SCP-XXXX-1 is possible, however, only temporarily. When separated - SCP-XXXX-1 will become visibly confused and will start walking towards SCP-XXXX even if they should not know the location of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1 is able to move through solid objects to reach SCP-XXXX and the speed of which SCP-XXXX-1 moves depends on the distance away from SCP-XXXX - reaching a recorded maximum speed of ███km/h despite walking - this phenomena is speculated as another anomalous effect of this SCP though, this is unconfirmed.

Any organism capable of hearing are susceptible to the anomalous effects of SCP-XXXX. Upon hearing any sound from SCP-XXXX when played by SCP-XXXX-1 the subject becomes mentally bound to SCP-XXXX and is to be designated SCP-XXXX-2. Should an example of SCP-XXXX-2 arise then all Foundation personnel are to evacuate at least 100m away from SCP-XXXX and a field team should be dispatched for the immediate termination of SCP-XXXX-2 as to avoid a Gently Weeps event. Do note that any sound made by SCP-XXXX when played by anyone except SCP-XXXX-1 will yield no anomalous results.

A Gently Weeps event occurs when any example of SCP-XXXX-2 make a sound above a 30dB level. SCP-XXXX-1 will appear to enter a state of agitation, placing SCP-XXXX upon the nearest surface and moving a finger to its lips in a shushing manner. Space around SCP-XXXX will begin to distort and all electronic and communicative devices cease function - creating an effective "dead-zone" of exactly 100 metres by 100 metres with a crackly cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by the Beatles audible at all times - hence the event name - the rendition contains only guitar and a young male voice. Nothing is able to enter or leave the zone for the duration of the event. The first recorded event happened on █/█20█

Throughout the duration of the event SCP-XXXX-1 gains the ability to teleport within the warped space and will appear to be "bugged" or "glitched" according to survivor accounts. SCP-XXXX-1 uses this ability to teleport in front of anyone within the zone and proceeds to [DATA EXPUNGED] on every second beat of the song playing. There have been no survivors to this particular process. Due to the timings - the amount of deaths can be estimated to about 24-25 per event with the event lasting 3 minutes and 35 seconds exactly. Examples of SCP-XXXX-2 are killed first in the event, everyone else is seemingly random, however, research is being conducted and is noted in [DATA EXPUNGED].

Upon the conclusion of a Gently Weeps event SCP-XXXX-1 will proceed to enter a passive state and resume playing of SCP-XXXX. It is observed that after every event SCP-XXXX-1 will start to weep for several hours.

SCP-XXXX-1 appears to require no food of any kind and it's actual age is unknown - all that is known is that it is in a constant state of hating itself - a large amount of information was gained through an experiment where a D-Class personnel was placed into the containment cell and asked to question SCP-XXXX-1 and write down the answers on a piece of paper provided. The full log of the interview can be found below.
