Auto

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Because SCP-AUTO has not been caught or thoroughly investigated, there are no containment procedures, however in the event that SCP-AUTO is seen in the sea or ocean, Special Task Force Theta-5 is to be deployed to track and contain SCP auto.

SCP-AUTO-1 is to be kept in a 3 by 4 by 2.3 meter large room, located on Site-17. SCP-AUTO-1 can request items for his room, item requests are to be brought to Dr Pan. SCP-AUTO-1 can enter any level-0 clearance area of the site, including the cafeteria, library and game lounge. Food is to brought to SCP-AUTO-1 3 times a day. SCP-AUTO-1 is to always have a means of writing information down, and everything SCP-AUTO-1 writes down is to be reviewed by a researcher working on SCP-AUTO, unless SCP-AUTO-1 states he does not want to have his work reviewed.

Description:

The description of the appearance of SCP-AUTO in this document is an approximation on the Foundations part. A description has been created using the two official encounters with the Foundation, and multiple civilian reports. The following description of SCP-AUTO should be taken lightly due to SCP-AUTO’s ability to fix, upgrade and overall change itself.

-Dr. Pan

SCP-AUTO is a large submarine like vehicle that is approximately 300 meters long. A large amount of SCP-AUTO consists of parts from cars, vans, trucks, storage containers, small boats and other such things. SCP-AUTO utilises these parts to fix, utilise, or add to itself for self preservation. Despite being believed to be man-made, SCP-AUTO is completely autonomous, and is believed to be controlled by a Cray-1 super computer.

SCP-AUTO usually moves around in deep water, but will occasionally go to the surface to collect parts for itself. It does this by using approximately 6 to 8 150 m long legs that extend from the body of SCP-AUTO, and collects objects using a loading bay and magnetic crane located at the bottom of SCP-AUTO to abduct objects (Read Incident Log for public witnesses).

SCP-AUTO is believed to have been created around 1958, following the disappearance of the USS Nautilus, a nuclear submarine of which pieces of were found on the exterior of SCP-AUTO (Read Discovery Log). Though SCP-AUTO could have once been nuclear powered, it is now powered by diesel oil and gasoline, collected from stolen vehicles.

SCP-AUTO-1, otherwise know as “William” is an approximately 75 year old caucasian man and is 1.7 meters tall. Though no official information can be found on SCP-AUTO-1, he states he is a WWII veteran for North America. SCP-AUTO-1 has severe brain damage and amnesia, from a combination of a previous lack of nutrition and a lack of human interaction.

SCP-AUTO-1 is the creator of SCP-AUTO, and is currently helping make a device to find and capture SCP-AUTO. From SCP-AUTO-1’s supposed time in the military, he gained many skills, including but not limited to: automotive vehicles maintenance, an array of computer related skills, industrial equipment related skills and an advance knowledge of metalworking. SCP-AUTO-1’s current mental deterioration is being cared to, and the foundation hopes to have him recall a way to find and stop SCP-AUTO.

-Dr Pan Date: April 27, 1958

Location: Longitude: 42.512 Latitude: -63.521, Atlantic Ocean

Incident: The USS Nautilus (The first nuclear submarine ever made) suddenly stops radio contact with all land and sea bases, an extensive search is made for the submarine, however it and it’s crew are missing. Five days later the crew are found in the house of ██████ ███████, whose body was found in the attic. The crew were found in a makeshift cell in the basement with very little food left after a letter was sent to the U.S Department of the Navy about their where abouts. The crew had no recollection of how the submarine was stolen, only waking up in the basement in shock. A replica submarine was built and the crew were told not to speak of the submarines disappearance, as the whole event would be a “PR disaster” according to Admiral ██████ ███████. Date: July 5th, 1964

Time: 10:20 PM to 10:40 AM

Place: Manasquan, New Jersey

Incident: 4 people people nearby the local beach report an approximately 70m long “metal creature” “made of cars”. It is seen dragging off 2 cars and 1 truck into the water before walking off into the sea with said vehicles. Witnesses given B class amnesiacs. Date: August 15th, 1970

Time: 3:45 AM

Place: Virginia Beach, Virginia

Incident: SCP-AUTO (then about 90m long) is seen by a dock security guard. The guard reports that SCP-AUTO made away with several shipping containers, several cars and a ship’s top and engine. The foundation reported to the dock, replaced the ship and most of it’s cargo, and gave the witness a class B amnesiac. Date: January 20th, 1976

Time: 3 AM

Place: Daytona, Florida

Incident: SCP-AUTO came out of the sea to the side of the ███ highway and attacked a truck and it’s driver. The truck contained a shipment of two Cray-1 supercomputers, one was taken. The driver was knocked unconscious and cannot recall much from the incident. Class B amnesiacs given to driver. At this point SCP-AUTO is given a classification Date: September 25th, 1982

Time: 4PM

Place: Gulf of Mexico

Incident: SCP-AUTO was reported to be on the side of a cargo ship (heading to Tecolutla, Mexico), after 30 minutes of being noticed by the crew, it detached and stayed mostly motionless, 101 meters under the water. Mobile Task Force Theta-5 was sent to attempt to capture of SCP-AUTO (see Capture attempts Log). No amnesiacs required. Date: March 4th, 2008

Time: 5AM

Place: Longitude: 34.225 Latitude: -56.777, Atlantic Ocean

Incident: A group of amateur ocean explorers stumble onto SCP-AUTO, Mobile Task Force Theta-5 is sent to attempt a capture of SCP-AUTO. All people and vehicles involved are not found, this includes all information that Theta-5 had gathered on the exploration, as all recording equipment was on-board the vehicles.
