SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently held at Site 513, and is to be kept inside of a locked, hardened-steel box, lined with sound-proofing material. This box is to be kept in a sound-proof room, with a safety-glass window for observation from the designated observation room.
No personnel are permitted to enter SCP-XXXX's containment room without explicit permission from the Site Director. Personnel studying or handling SCP-XXXX are to wear in-ear ear plugs and over-ear noise-canceling headphones at all times while inside SCP-XXXX's containment room, and are to be monitored from the observation room. All personnel at Site 513 are to have a basic knowledge of psychiatry, are to be trained to recognize and treat signs of psychosis, and are to constantly be equipped with no less than two emergency pairs of ear plugs.
All personnel at Site 513 are to be tested every two weeks for signs of mental illness, especially forms of psychosis. Any personnel showing even slight signs of mental illness are to be administered amnestics, removed from service at the Foundation, and constantly monitored until cleared as mentally stable by three separate Foundation psychiatrists.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an old, portable radio, made by the brand "Roberts", model number R-1214. SCP-XXXX constantly emits a broadcast of a voice speaking words in an unknown language. Doctor Katherine ██████, a linguistics expert and Site 513's translator, was brought in to translate the broadcast. She was unable to identify the exact language. The voice repeats the same phrase repeatedly, and never changes.
The volume cannot be adjusted. Even removing the batteries doesn't turn the radio off, and changing the channel doesn't change the broadcast. Upon disassembling SCP-XXXX, which also failed to turn it off, personnel found that the internals were not intact. There were cut wires, damaged circuit boards, and other broken pieces. SCP-XXXX should not be able to function, and yet it does.
Anyone who listens to SCP-XXXX's broadcast for more than 20 minutes will suffer from mental degradation and psychosis. Test subjects exposed to SCP-XXXX began to suffer from momentary hallucinations. During these episodes, subjects went into comas for anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours. After regaining consciousness, subjects seemed confused, and had no knowledge that they had gone unconscious. From their perspective, everything and everyone around them disappeared, including the building. They were left standing outside [REDACTED], and their descriptions of their surroundings matched the location of Site 513, but without the actual building being present. Over the course of about one week, the episodes became longer and more frequent, until they eventually had an episode that they didn't awake from. The subjects are currently kept in Site 513's infirmary, in the hopes that they'll recover. None have as of yet.
Addendum: After a member of Site 513's personnel attempted to gouge out their own eyes, it was found that personnel working on SCP-XXXX's case can develop forms of psychosis, most often paranoid schizophrenia accompanied by vivid visual and auditory hallucinations, even without ever hearing SCP-XXXX's broadcast. These usually result in attempts at self-harm or suicide, recurring fits of or a persistent state of hysteria, and total brain death. As such, SCP-XXXX's Item Class has been changed from Safe to Euclid, and its Special Containment Procedures have been updated accordingly.
