The Firehouse Bell

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard storage locker in site ██. No personnel may attach SCP-XXXX to a power source without approval of the site director. Testing is not to take place without approval of the Site Director and all site ██ personnel in charge of containment for keter-level objects. Testing prohibited by 05 directive.

At no point is the television programme Adam 12 or any program containing clips from Adam 12 to be viewed or played at site ██.

These procedures are to be included in information given to all site ██ personnel.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a fire station alarm bell dating from 197█ recovered from ██████████████████ Fire Station 51.

When SCP-XXXX is properly mounted and powered, personnel in its vicinity are noted to behave dramatically and unprofessionally, in a behaviour consistent with appropriate television dramas from the 1970s. Such behaviour is inconsistent with affected personnel's behaviour outside of work and away from the object.

When the television programme Adam 12 is displayed anywhere in a location containing SCP-911-CO, an emergency situation corresponding to the location's purpose will occur, and all related alarms will go off. While this can occur at any point in the programme, it primarily will occur during what viewers perceive to be the episode's "climax." Emergencies will invariably last until the episode has completed and will be of such a scope that it requires the response of all personnel viewing the episode. Any people that the viewers know who may also have viewed the programme will invariably have either been drawn away from the program, distracted during the climax, or unable to recall details relating to the ending of the episode.

The object came to Foundation attention after reports of ████ 51 receiving emergency calls during viewings of "Adam 12," at every instance of viewing and without fail. Public safety personnel were also recorded as behaving excessively dramatically and unprofessionally, in ways that would not be accepted at a standard fire station but were consistent with behaviour in television dramas dating from the object's time period.

Testing results: Immediately before the climax, a researcher was injured while handling SCP-███, viewers responded and escorted the researcher to medical facilities.

Testing location: Site ██
Television programme displayed: Adam 12: Teamwork, 40 viewers
Testing results: SCP-███ breached containment, triggering site-wide alarms and requiring a large-scale operation to re-establish containment. Breach resulted in ███ personnel deaths and significant damage to site.

On-site testing is now prohibited. —Site Director ████████

Testing location: Refurbished farmhouse ██ miles away from site ██.
Television program displayed: Adam 12: Trouble in the Bank, 2 viewers
Testing setup: 2 class D personnel are given amnestics to erase all memories of the foundation, with false memories implanted to provide the impression of having lived a normal life. Subjects are given a television controlled from outside by researcher ██████████.
Testing results: About halfway through the episode, 2 cell phones appear and d-class personnel and start ringing. D-class are informed that their coworkers called off and that they’re needed at “the plant.” D-class get into a car that has appeared in the driveway and drive to a manufacturing plant down the road, where they begin working in an assembly line. Later investigation revealed detailed employment records for both subjects and records of 2 employees at the plant calling in sick.

Testing location: █████████ desert, 2██ miles away from nearest civilian population
Television programme displayed: Adam 12: If the Shoe Fits, 6 viewers
Testing Results: About halfway through the episode, viewers █████, ██████, and ██████ received messages on their personal cell phones containing an image of SCP-096's face. SCP-096 immediately breached containment, resulting in [Data Redacted]. ██ deaths resulted, and surviving viewers were immediately evacuated.

Testing now prohibited. —05-█

I formally propose that we upgrade this object to keter given its potential for causing a large-scale containment breach. —Dr. ██████

Denied. Containment is simple: don't plug it in, don't watch Adam 12 or a program containing clips of Adam 12 in the site containing SCP-XXXX. -05-█

Incident XXXX-1
At ██:██ on ██/██/████, a large-scale containment breach occurred at site ██, involving ██ SCPs and resulting in ███ personnel deaths. Upon reviewing security tapes, it was found that several level-1 researchers had been watching a showing of Adam 12 in the recreations room. During subsequent questionings, it was found that the researcher's believed that the rule was in place because the site director simply did not enjoy Adam 12. Reprimands and demotions handed out accordingly. Containment procedures for SCP-XXXX are now to be part of the mandatory safety data made available to all site ██ personnel.

The bansidhe-ish thing that is nowhere close to done

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a sound-proofed containment cell, consisting of 3 separate rooms. Each room should have a door leading to the outside of the cell and the other rooms in the cell. Doors leading outside of the cell must be locked and sealed at all times, and doors leading between rooms must be locked and sealed before personnel may enter. No entry may be made into a room currently occupied by SCP-XXXX.

No personnel are allowed within 10 metres of SCP-XXXX, except for testing purposes approved by a level 5 supervisor. See addendum XXXX-1 for interview procedures.

All audio feeds must be on a 10-second delay, with sound levels being monitored. If a sound level is detected above 100 decibels, audio feeds must be immediately shut off and the source of the noise discovered before audio feeds are reconnected.

In the event that SCP-XXXX is heard to speak, a noise above 100 decibels is found to be caused by SCP-XXXX, or SCP-XXXX’s mouth is visible, all audio feeds from inside containment area must be shut off and a level 5 supervisor must immediately be notified to initiate action XXXX-1.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an entity resembling a frail elderly male with pale, ashen skin. Under normal circumstances, SCP-XXXX appears to have no mouth and is incapable of producing any human speech or vocalisations. SCP-XXXX is still able to consume food, despite the absence of a mouth. Aside from the lack of speech, SCP-XXXX behaves as would be typical of an elderly man. In this state, SCP-XXXX shows no vital signs.

When approached by a human, SCP-XXXX will attempt to grab them, displaying much greater speed and strength than when it is at rest, and bring their face into near direct contact with its own, at which point it will open its mouth and clamp down over its victims nose and mouth. Victims will experience brain death immediately after release from SCP-XXXX, and clinical death shortly after. Autopsies of victims show no unusual findings.

After “feeding,” SCP-XXXX’s mouth will become visible, it will become capable of human speech, vitals will appear and steadily improve, and it will appear to de-age. The de-aging effect will continue with subsequent feeding, until SCP-XXXX appears to be no different from a human male about 30 years of age.

At this stage, SCP-XXXX becomes more selective in its feedings. It will only feed when necessary, and it will prefer not to be viewed when feeding. SCP-XXXX will behave like a normal human in attempts to breach containment, and if out of containment will attempt to pass as a foundation employee. Instead of clamping over the mouth to feed, SCP-XXXX will draw the subject in close to its face and [DATA REDACTED], resulting in an instance of SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-2 will appear no different different from before, aside from displaying a high level of devotion to SCP-XXXX and a desire to bring other humans to SCP-XXXX for feeding.

Based on information gathered during recovery, SCP-XXXX appears to have the ability to change its appearance in this state.

While the specimen is the only known instance of SCP-XXXX in containment, it is possible that others may exist. In the event that another instance is discovered, all precautions in action XXXX-1 must be taken in attempting containment, and any instances of SCP-XXXX-2 must be found and destroyed.

Addendum XXXX-1: Interview procedures: Any researchers wishing to interview SCP-XXXX must first obtain approval from a level 5 supervisor. Approved interviews will be scheduled alongside D-class terminations, and a D-class will be fed to SCP-XXXX immediately prior to interview.

Interview must take place between the PA system in containment and audio feeds coming from containment, following the same delay and sound level monitoring procedures as standard. If SCP-XXXX appears to become agitated, or a sound level higher than 100 decibels is detected, audio is to be shut off immediately.
