Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within Observation Chamber 8 of Site-19. It is to be watched by at least one Level-2 researcher guarded by standard site security personnel 24/7, on a 12 hour shift. If it shows any signs of behavioral changes (See Addendum XXXX-a) please contact Professor Richardson to see if this is part of any irregular behavior alterations that have been documented, and update the timetable. Staff above Level-2 are allowed to visit SCP-XXXX once a month (due to it refusing currency twice a month) and then may choose to take Class-C Selective Amnestics to lose their memory of the event. If such is their choice they must be told of the fact that they have seen the SCP this month so they do not attempt to visit twice. Staff are discouraged from asking it what the winning lottery numbers are for next week, however, they are not to be punished for doing so. It is to be allowed to see one of the "interesting ones" once a day.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an automated, coin-operated fortune teller known as "The Great Paspell Halotus". The machine is completely sentient but seems to have complete omniscience over time and space. If asked a question about the future, it will tell you exactly what will happen for a price of 25 pence or its international equivalent. It only accepts money once a month, preventing people from knowing everything about their future. The machine is only capable of speaking for five minutes about the future, however, it will speak with any person it regards as "interesting" (for list, see Addendum XXXX-c). It has currently been observed to have an attention seeking personality, begging for "One of the interesting ones" to come into his chamber. As stated in its containment procedures, it is to be granted this once a day.

SCP-XXXX: So then! They put you up for questioning this time! Fun! I do so enjoy having family turned against me.
(SCP-XXXX Looks towards the observation room)
SCP-XXXX: But that's besides the point. I'm done with all of this. I have a psyche too ya know! I'm not going to be too mysterious or lie or anything like that. I'm bored. Even with you here I know they're just trying to squeeze information out of me. So I'm opening the floodgates. Hope you're taking notes
D-XXXX: Alright. How long have you existed?
SCP-XXXX: Oooh naughty! Never ask a robotic-fortune-teller their age. Well I guess that doesn't work with me seeing as I'm a male model…
Dr Richardson over mic: SCP-XXXX Please remember the task at hand.
SCP-XXXX: Okay okay jeez. Why so serious Mr. Know-it-all? In this form… about 50 years, but I've been around for, ooooh, about….. forever.
D-XXXX: How exactly is that possible?
SCP-XXXX: Well…. I'm more of a conscious concept. Ever since "The Beginning" people have thought of seeing… into the future!
(A puff of smoke emerges from SCP-XXXX's box)
SCP-XXXX: Hehehehehehehe…. showmanship…
Dr Richardson over mic: SCP-XXXX -
SCP-XXXX: Yes, yes I know! "Focus on the task at hand!" I get it. Just let me have my fun… and you'll have your answers. Okay?
Dr Richardson over mic: Fine, but attempt to keep it brief.
SCP-XXXX: Thanks. Now where was I… Ah yes! Continuing my previous statement! So people thought, "Well wouldn't it be nice to know what happens tomorrow!" and, well, there I was! I sorta stood behind 'em. Whispering "sweet nothings" I guess ya could say. I told 'em what to say and they said it! We'd work together!
D-XXXX: Are there more of you?
SCP-XXXX: Nope! Just me! The one and very lonely! The Great Paspell Halotus!
(Smoke emerges from SCP-XXXX's box again.)
SCP-XXXX: I wish there were more of me. Before I got this body I was everywhere! Now I'm just here. Lookin' out for some excitement! Hahahaha… haha… ha…
D-XXXX: Do you know why you took physical form?
SCP-XXXX: Well Twinsie! I'm surprised! Finally asking the interesting questions! People were starting to play Chinese Whispers with my readings, so, one day I went rouge. Ran off! Found this ol' broken down mess at the arcade! Down by the promenade! Oh I did like to be beside the seaside! Ha! Geddit?
(D-XXXX Let's out a small chuckle)
SCP-XXXX: There we go! Laughter! Best medicine! Fixes everything, even the common cold! Now… uhhh.. yes! That's where you guys found me!
D-XXXX: And last question… what happens to me tomorrow?
SCP-XXXX: Well go on then! Seeing as you don't have money I'll do a freebie! Ahem… I'm looking into the future… I foresee that tonight… is the eve of an unstoppable containment breech! SCP-079 will start her up remotely and then everyone will make a dash for it! I think lil' cutsie 999 is giving me a lift! The lil' sweetheart! And you'll get out too Twinsie! Watch out for 173 though! He's goin' on a rampage!
END LOG
Note from Doctor Richardson: The containment breech went out as foretold. Most SCP's recovered. D-XXXX, SCP-999 and SCP-XXXX have not been recovered. Currently searching for them.
