Yurrupt

Designation: SCP-

Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: The last remaining instance of SCP- is to be stored on an external hard drive and locked in a container at Site-19. Access is restricted to Level 2 Personnel. Only one copy of the file is to remain in existence, and any other instances of SCP- found must be immediately deleted from the storage media it/they were discovered on.

Description SCP- is a standard 128kbps .mp3 audio file. The audio contained in the file appears to be an 8-bit style track, with the notes consisting of different toned notes. The song was later discovered to be an alteration of a soundtrack file from the popular [REDACTED] Game, released in 1996.

Whenever an instance of SCP- is opened via any kind of .mp3 file player that does not show any type of waveform, the file itself appears to manifest the notes it consists of, resulting in a majority of the song sounding different each time it is listened to. Staff listening to the entirety of the song multiple times have reported that the beginning and end sections of the song, both lasting 7 seconds, produce the same notes each time, with the alterations in the song beginning after the beginning section of the song, and ending just before the ending section of the song. The alterations in the song have been described as completely random, however still sounding like an actual song with rhythm.

At first, it was speculated that the file may have some sort of programming accompanying it that is producing the alterations, however the file was tested in many ways to confirm that it is a simple .mp3 audio file with no unnatural effects on display, until it is opened and listened to.

When the file is opened on any type of .mp3 file player that displays a waveform, the file does not manifest its notes and simply sounds the same as the original song that it seemed to be taken from. Attempts to enable any sort of waveform viewer while the song has already manifested itself and is playing results in the song becoming a high pitched noise. Attempts to use an external waveform viewer through the use of speakers shows the same result, which formed speculations that the file may have some form of sentience behind it that is actively trying to make sure no one understands how it is able to do what it does.

Origins of SCP-

SCP- was originally discovered by a Mr. Blake ██████████ on the night of [REDACTED], 1999. Three years after it had been released, Mr. Blake had downloaded the game known as [REDACTED] to his personal computer, intending to play it for the purpose of amusement. As he played through the game multiple times he noticed that the soundtrack of the ██ was different each time he listened to it. At first, he thought nothing of it, however after experiencing the effects of SCP- approximately 4 hours later, he made a post about the song on the game’s official forum, and his experience with it. No one on the forum seemed to believe him, however since it became more popular SCP personnel investigated, expecting it to be a prank. However, when the soundtrack file’s strange nature of manifesting itself was discovered, SCP Personnel brought it to Site-19 via a USB stick, where testing later proved its unnatural properties. It has since been locked down in Site-19 storage.
