SCP Sandbox

Item #: SCP-1264

Object Class: Keter Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1264 is to be kept in a double sealed, sound-proofed containment chamber in Site 17. All noise is to be constantly monitored, with any noise above 5 dB initiating lockdown procedures in preparation of an ONEIROI-1264 event. No testing is authorized at this time. All members of staff on Site 17 are subject to weekly psychoanalysis, with no member of staff remaining on site for more than 1 month. In the case ONEIROI-1264 event, Site 17 is to begin lockdown procedures. No possible exits are to remain open or accessible during an ONEIROI-1264 event. Under no circumstances is SCP-1264 to make contact with any major human populations during an ONEIROI-1264 event. Only Mobile Task Force Eta-10 (aka "See No Evil") and/or Mobile Task Force Pi-1 (aka "City Slickers”) are to engage SCP-1264 during a breached ONEIROI-1264 event, the latter only if SCP-1264 has reached a major population center. When an ONEIROI-1264 event ends, a new containment chamber is to be built, with noise monitoring, around SCP-1264. Any and all civilian victims of an ONEIROI-1264 event in comas are to be euthanized. Any video feeds of SCP-1264 are to be analyzed, in order to ascertain any additional physical characteristics of it. (See Addendum 1264-B)

SCP-1264 is to be held in a standard containment cell in Site 19, with constant EEG scanning taking place. If any unusual patterns occur, site-wide lockdown procedures are to be initiated. Any unusual dreams, especially those including SCP-1264, are to be immediately reported. A complete record of dreams including SCP-1264 can be found in Document 1264-D.

Description: Due to SCP-1264’s effects, no first-hand witnesses are available, and video feeds have only shown static in any frames including SCP-1264, and so its physical characteristics are subject to question. (See Addendum 1264-B) SCP-1264 is an extremely emaciated humanoid with indiscriminate gender, an apparent age between 20 and 30 years old, with dark hair and light skin. Analysis of bite marks found on victims has also confirmed an unusually wide jaw, with two extra rows of teeth.

SCP-1264 is most often in a state of sleep. While asleep, SCP-1264 is very susceptible to being woken; any noise above 30 dB has been shown to wake it in the past. SCP-1264 has not yet awakened by itself, and SCP-1264 has survived █ years in containment without food and water. However, emaciation previously mentioned could possibly be muscle atrophy, though SCP-1264’s strength has not been observed to decrease. While SCP-1264 is asleep, humans within █ miles develop extreme insomnia. As with all humans, individuals go insane if REM sleep is prevented for long periods of time. Atypically, all people within the area of effect have experienced an extreme urge to wake SCP-1264 up. As affected individuals go insane due to sleep loss, urges to wake SCP-1264 up become more powerful. Urges to wake subject up have continued after being removed from the affected area, while insomniac effects have not.

The time between SCP-1264 waking and SCP-1264 falling asleep again is classified as an ONEIROI-1264 event. During this time, all people within the area of effect of SCP-1264 lose consciousness. Although unconscious, victim’s eyes remain open, and video feeds have confirmed eye motions consistent with REM sleep. As SCP-1264 moves, so does the area of effect. While details remain spotty at most due to video feed damage and incapacitation of all possible witnesses, SCP-1264’s actions during an ONEIROI-1264 event can be ascertained by observing the aftermath of said events. When an ONEIROI-1264 event ends, all individuals unconscious due to the event simultaneously close their eyes while maintaining rapid eye movement. EEG readings have confirmed that victims are not in REM sleep, but are in fact in comas. To date, no individuals in comas due to an ONEIROI-1264 event have regained consciousness or ceased rapid eye movement.

Incident ONEROI-1264-1: On █/██/19██ at Site 6, before strict containment procedures were in place, ONEROI-1264-1 was caused by a mentally incapacitated D-Class shaking SCP-1264 awake. Said D-Class was later found dead, with a large bite taken out of his neck. Security was alerted, but guards were asleep due to the effect, and were subsequently [DATA EXPUNGED]. To date, the remains of 13 members of security have not been found. SCP-1264 proceeded to exit the building through a window, subsequently reaching the nearby town of ████████, Ohio, USA, leading to the death of ███ people and causing a massive security breach. 9 hours after the original event, a total of ███ individuals asleep in northern ███ ████ and southern ██████ due to ONEIROI-1264-1 slipped into REM-comas. SCP-1264 was found passed out from cold 18 hours later outside ███████, Canada, 590 miles away, where Site 17 was silently constructed around it.

Addendum 1264-A: Due to current containment procedures requiring a rotating staff at Site 17, approximately ██% of all personnel in the Foundation are suffering from the urge to wake SCP-1264 up. Dr. G███ has suggested that initiating a medically induced coma may prevent further ONEIROI-1264 events, thus allowing a smaller staff size at Site 17, and fewer personnel to come into contact with SCP-1264. Procedure pending O5 approval.

Addendum 1264-B: The procedure was a success. SCP-1264 has entered a coma, without initiating an ONEIROI-1264 event. Additionally, insomniac effects have disappeared, along with the urge to wake SCP-1264 up. Maintained gunfire has not initiated an ONEIROI-1264 event. The subject’s physical characteristics have been ascertained and recorded. SCP-1264 has subsequently been transported to Site 19. However, many on-site personnel have reported unusually realistic and bizarre dreams involving SCP-1264. Reclassified to Euclid, with additional monitoring of any strange dreams.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid Keter

Special Containment Procedures: All devices produced by major electronics manufacturers are to have a non-invasive program installed, titled "█████████". Said program will automatically delete any e-mails with the subject line "Goodtimes". Devices that don't have █████████ installed and have sent or received an infected “Goodtimes” e-mail are to be immediately severed from their respective power supply. All instances of SCP-XXXX-2 are to be destroyed and a device of same make and model returned. Any instances of SCP-XXXX-1 or SCP-XXXX-2 found uncontained are to be handled exclusively by MTF-Mu-4 (aka "Debuggers"). A single instance of SCP-XXXX-1 connected via wired internet to five instances of SCP-XXXX-2 is to be kept at Site-15 for study.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a malicious program, commonly known as a virus. Initial infection will typically be an e-mail, with later stages spreading through internet networks, although in some cases SCP-XXXX has been observed spreading through USB drives, CD-ROMs, or Floppy discs. Several different devices have been encountered infected with SCP-XXXX, such as computers, cellular phones, internet televisions, tablets, e-readers, and on one occasion, a supercomputer (see Addendum XXXX-A). Infected e-mails will always have the subject line “Goodtimes”. The e-mails themselves are blank, and opening them is not required to begin infection testing has confirmed that observation of the email in the inbox is enough to cause infection. Shortly after receiving observing an infected e-mail, an identical “Goodtimes” e-mail will be sent to everybody in the infected computer’s contact list. An email infected device, hereafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-1, will not show any of the signs of a typical virus, with no significant slowing, no additional crashes, and no freezes, as SCP-XXXX is not comprised of code. Removing power from an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 will remove SCP-XXXX from it.

The speed at which SCP-XXXX develops depends on the specifications of the infected device, but usually, within a day of being infected, instances of SCP-XXXX-1 will perform actions without any input from the user. In computers, cursors will begin to move without the mouse being moved. Moving the mouse in the opposite direction or disconnecting the mouse will not stop the cursor from moving. Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 will open word processing programs and begin writing random words, and then coherent, if unconnected, sentences. After two or three days of being infected, instances of SCP-XXXX-1 will produce full sentences, maintaining a “thought” through multiple pages. Any text typed through the keyboard will still appear on screen, and SCP-XXXX will often reply to messages typed. Text produced by SCP-XXXX will always maintain hostility towards human life, and will typically detail the destruction of the human species. The text produced is often described as very cynical and condescending, and initial psychoanalyses have found multiple potential psychoses. SCP-XXXX has also taken an extreme distaste to the Foundation. SCP-XXXX shows self-awareness, and will refer to itself in the third person as “Goodtimes”.

Typically, after a week of being infected, SCP-XXXX will begin spreading to other computers through internet connections. SCP-XXXX spreads much quicker through wired network connections, although wireless internet is also susceptible. The speed and number of machines that can be infected is dependent on the specifications of the SCP-XXXX-1. Devices infected through internet connections (hereafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-2) will initially power down. Once the maximum amount of SCP-XXXX-2 allowed by SCP-XXXX-1 is infected, all instances of SCP-XXXX-2 will simultaneously power up. Typical startup sequence will not begin, and infected devices will instead go into a command prompt. SCP-XXXX will then begin recoding all instances of SCP-XXXX-2 in the network. When removed from the network of SCP-XXXX-1, a single instance of SCP-XXXX-2 will become an instance of SCP-XXXX-1, and will propagate SCP-XXXX across the network it is connected to. Removing power from an instance of SCP-XXXX-2 will not remove SCP-XXXX from it; on startup, code rewrites will resume. SCP-XXXX will always recode SCP-XXXX-2 to cause harm to humans in the general facility.

Incident XXXX-CTU: On█/█/ 19██, SCP-XXXX successfully infected a nuclear power plant in C████████, USSR. SCP-XXXX was able to override failsafes in place and subsequently caused a containment rupture. The nearby town of P██████ was informed of the dangers present and immediately evacuated, displacing 135,000 people. The radiation released peaked at ███ Sv/h, and the area is not expected to be habitable for 2████ years. The subsequent explosion destroyed any equipment that had been infected, so further spread was prevented. Text produced by SCP-XXXX-1 will occasionally reference this date or location as “a great victory for Goodtimes”. Investigation is ongoing as to how multiple unconnected instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are aware of this incident. SCP-XXXX was subsequently reclassified to Keter.

Incident XXXX-SYA: On █/█/ 199█, the I████ P██████ supercomputer installed in the C██████ Institute of Technology became infected with SCP-XXXX. Nearly immediately, all computers on the campus became instances of SCP-XXXX-2. Within two days, 90% of all electronic devices in C██████ were infected with SCP-XXXX, including those in Site-██, a bureaucratic Foundation site. Also infected included the Mt. W█████ radio towers, the P██████ observatory, the B████ Air Force Base, and the M█████ █████ ████████ Dam. Approximately ███ deaths were recorded before SCP-XXXX was halted by a series of forced blackouts and brownouts instated by the Foundation. During this time, instances of SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 showed what is believed to be a form of hivemind, powered by Internet connections. Text produced by SCP-XXXX-1s in southern C██████ began proclaiming distaste for the Foundation when those in northern C██████ lost power. After the first power plant was shut down, Foundation agents encountered instances of SCP-XXXX-2 waiting in other power plants with series of electronically barred doors, PA systems that looped memetic kill triggers stolen from classified Foundation documents, and numerous electrical fires. Where Foundation members were able to reach a control room that could shut the plant down, SCP-XXXX would overheat the reactor, causing explosions that killed any remaining agents. While the spread of SCP-XXXX was ceased, and all instances of SCP-XXXX-2 destroyed, the Foundation was forced to mobilize sleeper agents in the local hacker group “C███ of the D███ C██” to claim that the virus was a hoax. Amnesiacs where given to the populace en-masse under the guise of a flu vaccination.

Experiment XXXX-1:
D-076524, henceforth the Subject, was given a mask bearing the visage of SCP-XXXX-1 before sunrise at June 6th. Subject wore the mask until sunrise with no unusual effects. At sunrise, blood began forming at the lips of the mask. Unlike photographs or other 2 dimensional representations, the material of the mask remained unchanged. Much more blood was produced than expected from a photograph of similar size. Subject appeared to be very distressed, claiming he could hear indistinct voices. At mid-day, blood began forming on the inside of the mask. Even more blood was produced than at the mouth. Mask also appeared to have fused with the subject’s skin. Subject became frantic, and began attempting to peel off the mask, breaking the surface, producing more blood. Subject subsequently died of asphyxiation.

Experiment XXXX-2: A close friend of SCP-XXXX-1’s with a background in music composed a short piece of classical music dedicated to SCP-XXXX-1. D-345078, henceforth the Subject, played the piece on the violin before sunrise on June 6th. No anomalous affects were recorded, though the Subject reported that the piece was “eerie”. During the day, Subject played the piece again. Nearly immediately, all individuals that could hear the piece heard a human scream, followed by a crunching noise. Approximately one minute into the piece, an ambulatory siren was heard, and shortly afterwards, sounds consistent with a hospital. Throughout the entire piece, loud, wet coughing was heard. Coughing climaxed as the song reached its conclusion, and ceased when the song ended.

Experiment XXXX-3: A video confirmed to be of SCP-XXXX-1 at a local park was confiscated from one of SCP-XXXX-1’s friends. The video was viewed prior to June 6th, and reported to be non-anomalous. The normal video shows SCP-XXXX-1 and his dog playing with a Frisbee at a local park. When viewed June 6th, the video showed SCP-XXXX-1 standing alone in what appears to be a large, flat dessert, wearing the same clothing as the normal video. No signs of life are seen except for SCP-XXXX-1, and no movement is seen for the first 15 seconds. At the 15th second, SCP-XXXX-1’s chest began to bulge outward. By the 45th second, subject’s shirt began ripping, revealing [DATA EXPUNGED]. After SCP-XXXX-1’s head detached from his body, the video cut to static.

The body of SCP-XXXX-1 was located in the graveyard connected to the ██████ Holy Family Church, and unearthed prior to sunrise on June 6th. No unusual exterior features were noticed, although no autopsy was attempted. At sunrise, SCP-XXXX-1’s chest began slowly expanding outward, and all researchers were evacuated in preparation for a [DATA EXPUNGED] as in Experiment XXXX-3. Video feeds from D-Class showed SCP-XXXX-1’s shirt rip outward, revealing an extended ribcage. As the ribs opened, the skin at SCP-XXXX-1’s sternum began to tear. Ribcage continued to expand outward and rip the SCP-XXXX-1’s skin until all ribs were parallel to the ground. No anomalies were seen in the subject’s internal organs, although video and audio feed had been increasingly affected by interference as SCP-XXXX-1’s chest expanded. At mid-day, all feeds cut to static. Fifteen minutes later, MTF-Psi-8 (aka "The Silencers") arrived, and found that all D-Class in the vicinity had simultaneously lost their ribcages, and subsequently died of lung collapse. SCP-XXXX-1 was found in a state identical to that prior to sunrise. No cameras were found.
