SCP-XXXX in containment

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently stored in Containment Vault 56 at Site 19. SCP-XXXX must be stored in a 3×3×3 meter cell, and a team of two (2) Level 3 security guards must be assigned to guard SCP-XXXX at all times. Guards are required to undergo a mental evaluation once per month; guards who show signs of mental damage are to be removed from their post and are required to undergo therapy before returning to duty. Personnel wishing to test SCP-XXXX must submit a written form to Dr. ████. Per orders of O5-7, access is barred to all except Level 4 clearance. No testing is allowed on SCP-XXXX. As of █/█/████, SCP-XXXX must be contained in a Faraday cage and no mobile devices are permitted within 50 meters of Vault 56. SCP-XXXX must be monitored at all times through a visual feed in case of disturbances. There must be a GPS tracker attached during testing at all times to SCP-XXXX in case of teleportation. When testing SCP-XXXX, only one (1) D-Class is allowed in the cell with SCP-XXXX. After the D-Class personnel enters a coma, he must be transported to a secure medical ward. After SCP-XXXX-1 is terminated, SCP-XXXX will teleport immediately and must be returned to Site 19. [TESTING IS FORBIDDEN BY O5 COMMAND]

Description: SCP-XXXX is a small object, approximately 190×120×11 millimeters, and weighs about 413 grams. SCP-XXX has an LCD screen on one side, a power button on the bottom, and an engraving on the back saying “Dream Viewer, by ██████”. SCP-XXXX needs no power to run, and has no charging port. Taking apart SCP-XXXX reveals no anomalous properties. The power button of SCP-XXXX pulses while it is powered off, and the button has been known to entrance living entities. Dumping the ROM from SCP-XXXX to a PC or mobile device shows that it runs [REDACTED]; however, this can cause anomalous properties to occur to the new device(See Addendum XXXX-3). SCP-XXXX has proven to become more unstable every time it is powered on. As of 7/28/████, SCP-XXXX has been powered on seven times.

SCP-XXXX starts to display anomalous properties when it is powered on. After pressing the power button, the “Dream Viewer” engraving starts to glow; however, the display does not appear to power on. After approximately 80 seconds, SCP-XXXX will chime to show that it has finished booting. At the exact moment, the personnel who turned SCP-XXXX on will immediately fall into a coma. During this state, all bodily functions cease for roughly 48 hours. Anyone in a coma caused by SCP-XXXX cannot be terminated. Any attempts to terminate personnel undergoing a coma from SCP-XXXX have resulted in failure. After 48 hours, the user awakens from the coma and is thereafter designated as SCP-XXXX-1.

SCP-XXXX-1 has been proven to view an anomaly designated as SCP-XXXX-2 . SCP-XXXX-2 varies depending on what the user was thinking before powering SCP-XXXX on. However, this thought appears to decay, and SCP-XXXX-2 always appears as an end-of-the-world scenario. SCP-XXXX-2 will eventually kill the user within 36-48 hours. SCP-XXXX-1 seems unable to acknowledge living entities.

Additional Information:

+ Level 4 Clearance Required - Access Granted Research into the connection between SCP-XXXX and a normal Dream Viewer show they are almost exactly alike. SCP-XXXX does not contain a charging port or a camera, and the power button and engraving do not glow on the Dream Viewer model. SCP-XXXX's operating system appears to be a heavily modified version of [REDACTED]. The normal model claims to be able to read dreams from up to a week ago by means of its built-in camera. However, no Dream Viewer model has ever successfully worked. SCP-XXXX cannot power on, but transferring the operating system is possible by dumping the ROM to another device or emulator. Therefore, the OS is believed to be the key to SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties.

Addendum: Due to the nature of SCP-XXXX, all research logs are considered addendum.

Addendum XXXX-1: Recovery Mission. On █/█/████, the Foundation was alerted to anomalous activity happening inside [REDACTED]. MTF Mu-4 "Debuggers" were deployed to retrieve any possible SCPs. Agents discovered an assembly line for a new product known as a “Dream Viewer” . Mu-4 confiscated ███ Dream Viewers, including SCP-XXXX. During confiscation, █ agents entered the quality control office due to banging noises. SCP-XXXX-1-A, B, and D escaped as soon as the door opened. SCP-XXXX-1-C was lying dead in the quality control office.

SCP-XXXX-1-A: Escaped quality control office, and ran for about 5 meters. Agents report viewing SCP-XXXX-1-A becoming crushed, as if a large object had fallen on it.

SCP-XXXX-1-B: Escaped quality control office, and ran into the assembly room. Agents █████ and ███████ were sent to capture SCP-XXXX-1-B. They reported viewing SCP-XXXX-1-B becoming engulfed in flames, and it slowly burned to death. Ashes were recovered and sent to Site 19.

SCP-XXXX-1-C: Found dead in the quality control office. Unknown cause of death.

SCP-XXXX-1-D: As it tried to escape the quality control office, █ agents restrained SCP-XXXX-1-D. It fought to escape for 75 seconds, before agents noticed its forearm was torn off. Agents backed away to see SCP-XXXX-1-D slowly eaten alive, as if attacked by a large predator.

The factory sustained no damage during the recovery mission. All Dream Viewers were brought to Site 19, and SCP-XXXX was proven to be the only anomalous object. A front for the Foundation purchased the factory, and proceeded to tear the building down.

Addendum XXXX-2: First testing of SCP-XXXX by Foundation personnel. Addendum XXXX-2 tested if SCP-XXXX-2 could be manipulated by thinking of something before booting SCP-XXXX.

Audio Log XXXX-T2 - Recorded on █/██/████

<Begin Log, skip to 00h-05m-43s> Dr. █████: Please step into the Containment Cell. D-9187: Ok, now what? Dr. █████: Please think about some type of gas. D-9187: Like air or somethin? Dr. █████: That would be fine. Please turn on the device. D-9187: Sure, why not. (D-9187 turns on SCP-XXXX.) D-9187: Its not turning on… Dr. █████: Please stay in the Containment Cell. (SCP-XXXX chimes. D-9187 collapses on the floor) (2 Level 4 agents bring D-9187 to a secure medical ward.) <End Log>

After 45 hours, D-9187 awoke and was designated as SCP-XXXX-1-E. It started to scream about high levels of toxic gas. SCP-XXXX-1-E expired after 10 hours at 2250 hours. An autopsy showed cause of death to be carbon monoxide inhalation.

Cameras pointed at SCP-XXXX showed that it vanished at exactly 2250 hours. A massive search for SCP-XXXX started. 3 days later, it was discovered in an air vent in Site 19 by a janitor preforming regular maintenance. A GPS tracker was added to SCP-XXXX in response.

Addendum XXXX-3: Questioning Experiment. To see if SCP-XXXX-1 would acknowledge living entities, Foundation researchers tried to interrogate SCP-XXXX-1. D-Class 10265 was made to think about humanoid life forms before powering SCP-XXXX on. When D-Class 10265 awoke, it was designated as SCP-XXXX-1-F. It was immediately restrained by 6 Foundation agents and brought to Interrogation Cell 83-Beta. Test results can be found below.

Experiment Log XXXX-3-Alpha

Experiment XXXX-3-1: 1030 hours on ██/03/████

SCP-XXXX-1-F was questioned by 2 Foundation researchers. SCP-XXXX-1-F would not acknowledge the researchers, and kept shaking constantly. Experiment XXXX-3-2: 1345 hours

SCP-XXXX-1-F was interrogated by 5 Foundation agents. SCP-XXXX-1-F kept looking around in fear, and was constantly trying to break out of its restraints. Experiment XXXX-3-3: 1730 hours

SCP-XXXX-1-F was interrogated by [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-XXXX-1-F started to scream about invaders. At 1736 hours, SCP-XXXX-1-F expired when a smoking hole was discovered puncturing his upper torso. An autopsy of SCP-XXXX-1-F shows that he was killed by [REDACTED].

MTF Mu-4 was deployed to return SCP-XXXX to its containment cell. It was found in ██████. When it was returned, all agents were required to undergo mental evaluations.

Incident Report XXXX-I-3: While waiting for an evaluation, Agent █████, was discovered in Hallway █-81 lying in a coma. A search of the body discovered SCP-XXXX's OS on Agent █████'s mobile phone. The operating system was downloaded and installed over the air. It is currently unknown how SCP-XXX was able to connect and remotely install an OS. A Faraday cage was built around Containment Vault 18 to prevent further transmissions.

Agent █████ awoke as SCP-XXXX-1-G after █ hours. He was transported to Testing Zone 116-Eta. 3 Foundation researchers were in charge of overseeing SCP-XXXX-1-G. After the experiment, Dr. ████████ reported humanoid shadow figures interacting with SCP-XXXX-1-G. No other researchers reported viewing any humanoid figures. SCP-XXXX did not teleport after SCP-XXXX-1-G expired.

Addendum XXXX-4: Same response experiment. Researchers told D-10372 to think about toxic gas, just like in Addendum XXXX-2. After SCP-XXXX-1-H awoke, it started to show signs of exposure to carbon monoxide. However, other Foundation personnel held in the medical ward started to choke on toxic vapors. A team of ██ Foundation agents were dispatched to terminate SCP-XXXX-1-H. After SCP-XXXX-1-H expired, all personnel stopped choking. ██ personnel died during Addendum XXXX-4. Sensors reported an extremely high levels of carbon monoxide within the medical ward. This is the only reported case of SCP-XXXX-2 affecting entities beyond SCP-XXXX-1.

In Retrieval Mission XXXX-4, SCP-XXXX was tracked to a [REDACTED] in ███████████. Foundation researchers MTF Mu-4 stopped a civilian who had purchased SCP-XXXX ██ minutes after it had teleported. He believed that it was a ████████. MTF Mu-4 administered Class B anesthetics and returned him to his vehicle. SCP-XXXX was returned to Site 19.

After Addendum XXXX-4, testing was suspended on SCP-XXXX by O5 Command.
