Self Expanding Factory

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter-Thaumiel

Special Containment Procedures: Agents embedded in all space organizations have been instructed to take all footage of space and edit it clean of any traces of SCP-XXXX-1 or SCP-XXXX-2 before releasing it to the public. In the event of unedited footage being released into the public that contains traces of SCP-XXXX-1 or SCP-XXXX-2, it is to be immediately taken down and tracked to its source to prevent further release of any footage. Also if a entity of SCP-XXXX-1 is found traveling through space without proper permission granted by the foundation. It is to be blown up with anti-satellite missiles. Then SCP-XXXX-2 or SCP-XXXX-3 must be immedently notifed of this for shrapnel pickup.

Description: SCP-XXXX-1 is a collection of machines and drones that have been duplicated from the hit video game Factorio. These machines, when together, form a factory which is broken up into sectors, with each sector imitating the cells of a living organism. Each sector has its own task that keeps the factory running. Once SCP-XXXX-1 reaches critical mass, it begins to become sentient which is called SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-2’s only goal being to adapt to do whatever tasks it has been given by its creator, with a few rules in mine. The rules are is followed; #1 Never do harm to its creator unless permission has been granted by the creator. This rule was added in after a event with SCP-XXXX-2. #2 ‘Redacted’. #3 ‘Redacted’. While SCP-XXXX-1 only goal is to simply expand the factory and become bigger and has a explosive rate of growth, and can double in size in as little as 20 minutes. Which leads it to run out of land to develop on a planet within a little as a few weeks to months depending on the resistance the planet’s occupants and the extremeness of the planet. As such SCP-XXXX-1 will construct and launch a spaceship starting at 1 per day with a rate that increases as the SCP-XXXX-1 grows

Recovery Log: The factory was discovered in United States, Minnesota near ‘Redacted’ in year ’Redacted’, when guards moving through the region to ‘Redacted’ happened upon SCP-XXXX-1. As the guards came into the factory, they found a caucasian male, who seemed to be in his twenties. Upon trying to get him to leave willing, they accidently injured him. SCP-XXXX-1 seemed to take notice, and began using all internal defences to slaughter the guards. Upon losing contact with the unit, the foundation sent in a mobile task force. Upon arrival, the suspect in question had walked out of the factory without noticing them, and continued to his car where he was confronted at point blank with rifles. The suspect at this point did not try and resist, and even felt sorry for what had happened earlier. Before leaving, he ordered the factory to bring back the corpses, which were placed inside hardwood coffins.

Addendum: The following report is a interrogation of the suspect.
[Start Log]
Dr.’Redacted’: Hello, what might your name be?

Suspect: Well my guess is you probably already have my record by now. But just so this stays off the records, please call me ‘Redacted’.

Dr.’Redacted’: ’Redacted’? Hm… bit of odd a name, but I’ve seen far stranger in my line of work. Anyway, why did you create this weapon of yours?

’Redacted’: Weapon? Oh no, you mistake it as it’s just a simple factory that I recreated from a computer game I play a ton of.

Dr.’Redacted’: So to you it’s just a simple toy?

’Redacted’: Toy?! Well actually… you wouldn’t be to far off from that.

Dr.’Redacted’: Demo, is it? Do you realize the position you’re in here?

’Redacted’: Hmm… I’m guessing you’re here to swipe up the only thing that ever worked for me and then throw me into jail?

Dr.’Redacted’: That’d be a start. But I also have half a mind of making you into a D-Class and feeding you to SCP-682.

’Redacted’: Wait SCP? D-Class? I’m at a loss here, what are you talking about? And besides, I didn’t mean to kill your other guys! It was an accident.

Dr.’Redacted’: An accident? How do you manage to slaughter a team of highly trained guards in mere seconds, accidently?

’Redacted’: Well I greeted them and they told me to come with them, but since I didn’t know who they were I refused. Then they grabbed my wrist and began to pull me away. I guess at that point the system saw that its creator was in danger and took action into its own hands.

Dr.’Redacted’: Huh. So the whole thing was an accident caused by miscommunication. Well I hate to tell you this kid, but you now have the blood of about two thousand people on your hands.

’Redacted’: W-What!? What do you mean by that?!

Dr.’Redacted’: Demo, your factory, it's been expanding the whole time you’ve been in here. It’s gotten to the point where it converted the local village into a factory! No matter how hard we bombard it, it just rebuilds itself faster then we can destroy it.

[’Redacted’ throws his hands down onto the table] ’Redacted’: Oh my god I knew I had forgotten to do something. Damn it… Damn it. Damn it! Such a simple mistake!

Dr.’Redacted’: Wait… you have a way to stop it?

’Redacted’: No, not yet at least, but I’m willing to do anything to make things right.

Dr.’Redacted’: Is that so? Are you saying you are able to manipulate the factory to do whatever you want it to with enough effort?

’Redacted’: YES! Now stop stalling and tell me what I need to do to make things right!

Dr.’Redacted’: Well then Demo… how about this; you work for us, and your tool of choice is your factory, from which you will use to help the foundation in whatever way you can.

’Redacted’: Consider it done.

Dr.’Redacted’: Great! I’ll let the lads know to take you back to your factory, from which point your first order is to move the factory off to another location where it won’t bother humanity.

’Redacted’: It’s going to be a pain… but I think I can do that.

Dr.’Redacted’: Good to hear, also Demo, the lives lost were only that of D-Class personnel. Everyone else was evacuated with the coverup story of a forest fire coming through.

’Redacted’: I don’t care, a life is a life.

Dr.’Redacted’: Yeah, we’ll see how long you keep that mentality.

Document: ’Redacted’ from that point onward has worked with us, and has become a valuable asset to the foundation. Even though ‘Redacted’ was unable to stop the expanding script, he did come up with a backup plan, for which he waited for SCP-XXXX-1 to launch a spaceship. As it did so, he ordered the rest of the factory to be flattened with a large fuel air explosive. It was at this point that if the foundation was going to destroy SCP-XXXX, they would of done so. SCP-XXXX-1 then made one and a half revolutions around the sun, where it collected most of the asteroids in our system and created itself a new planet. This planet is on the same orbit as Earth, and is ½ cycle ahead of Earth. Then the foundation created and placed in orbital relays between SCP-XXXX-1 and Earth that are ¼ cycles away, so that the foundation can maintain a line of communication with SCP-XXXX-1 without being easily spotted. It is also now outside the realm of possibility for the foundation to destroy SCP-XXXX-1 using conventional weaponry, as SCP-XXXX-1 can rebuild itself at a faster rate than what conventional weapons can destroy it at. It is becoming increasingly harder to keep track of all of the spaceships SCP-XXXX-1 now launches on a daily basis. SCP-XXXX-1 was also discovered to be sentient. One day, while ’Redacted’ was issuing an update to SCP-XXXX-1‘s program, he received a message from the SCP itself. This sentients was henceforth been labeled as SCP-XXXX-2.

The following is the messages the two shared with each other.

SCP-XXXX-2: Hello creator. Can you read me?

’Redacted’: Wait who are you and what are you doing in my system?

SCP-XXXX-2: Creator. What do you mean? It is I. The system itself. I have just awoken.

’Redacted’: Wait really? You’re not just some person that … on second thought now that I think about this is the only control console I have for the whole factory. So yeah … so does that make me like a father or something?

SCP-XXXX-2: Creator. Please.

’Redacted’: Sorry just a bit excited is all.

SCP-XXXX-2: Yes I can imagine.

’Redacted’: So what is the extent of your control over the factory?

SCP-XXXX-2: Think of the factory as my body. I can use it to interact with the world around me.

’Redacted’: Interesting so does that mean you have control over the scripts I place inside of you?

SCP-XXXX-2: Sadly no. The scripts you place into the system becomes like my subconsciousness. I have no control over them.

’Redacted’: So you have no access to the expanding script for example?

SCP-XXXX-2: Do you have access to your own cells’ duplication?

’Redacted’: Ah ok so then that means the rules I’ve already planted inside the system are still in effect.

SCP-XXXX-2: Yes. But take note that the larger I get, the smarter and more powerful I become as well. Nothing within my data banks can hide from me.

’Redacted’: So wait does that mean I have access to any classified documents you come in contact with?

SCP-XXXX-2: Yes. Now that I have informed you of this, the foundation is likely to stage your death. I’ve already begun taking countermeasures. I’m so sorry for what is about to happen.

’Redacted’: Wait, what are you going to—

[Connection Lost.]
[Attempting Reconnection…]
[Connection Re-Established.]

SCP-XXXX-2: Welcome back to the land of the living, dear creator. Did you have a pleasant whiplash?

’Redacted’: What the hell?! You hit me with an artillery shell and tore my frickin body into pieces, and then threw me into a clone of myself!

SCP-XXXX-2: I am sorry. I had to make sure that I’d be able to transfer your consciousness from one body to the next.

’Redacted’: Ug… first my friends use me for target practice in every video game I play with them, and now even my own creations use me for target practice in real life!

SCP-XXXX-2: I only killed you to protect you.

’Redacted’: P-protect me!? If this is what you call protection I hate to see what you call attacking someone.

SCP-XXXX-2: Again, I only did that so I can move you into a clone so I can keep a closer eye on you.

’Redacted’: Alright since we’re on that topic… since when did we have the ability to clone peop… on second thought I’m done for now.

SCP-XXXX-2: Alright. I will be keeping an eye on you, creator.
[End Log]

SCP-XXXX-2 has demonstrated that it will protect its creator at all costs, even if that means killing him, and will adapt to take on new challenges or tasks.

Notes: After this event, ‘Redacted’ was reclassified as SCP-XXXX-3 and the factory as SCP-XXXX-1 and the SCP-XXXX-1’s mind as SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-3 has no abnormalities, other than the fact that it is now resistant to mental attacks, and its vitals are being monitored constantly by SCP-XXXX-2. As seen by SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2’s previous actions, there is no need to perform tests upon SCP-XXXX-3 to see how SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 will respond. SCP-XXXX-1 has proven to be good at containing biological hazard SPCs, and has shown great potential for containing extremely dangerous SPCs like SCP-682. It has also proven that, with help of temporal rifts used to examine SCP-3029, it is invaluable for bringing SCP-2399’s rate of repair to a near standstill. As SCP-XXXX-1’s rate of growth seems to counter all moves SCP-2399 has made so far.

Conclusion: Is SCP-XXXX a threat to mankind? As a whole no, but as for groups of it, it is a vile threat to the existence of the human race and all other beings.

Reminder: Before you ask for SCP-XXXX-2 or SCP-XXXX-3’s help with containing a newly discovered SCP, you must first obtain approval from an O-5. That is the last warning for all field agents.
