Item #: SCP-3614
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3614 is to be kept inside an airlocked chamber at all times, all personnel entering SCP-3614's chamber are to breathe solely from Foundation-provided oxygen tanks and must not, under any circumstances, attempt to initiate contact with an instance of SCP-3614-1. Failure to comply will result in immediate termination.
SCP-3614 resides on top of a red velvet pillow contained inside a plexiglass casing with narrow openings located on top, these openings are designed to prevent structural damage to the casing and, by extension, the containment chamber, during manifestations of SCP-3614-1.
Whenever SCP-3614-1 enters its "active" state, a coolant system should be activated to prevent it from reaching critical mass, afterwards, SCP-3614-1 is to be observed in its "roaming" state until it returns to its "inactive" state within SCP-3614.
Description: SCP-3614 is a meteorite of approximately 1.2m in length , SCP-3614 is composed mostly of Isotope 59Fe (Iron) and Isotope 62Ni (Nickel), its core is composed of a liquid substance of unknown composition. The core's temperature gradually cools down and heats itself back up throughout the course of a day, though that cycle can be altered or interrupted through activation of the room's coolant system.
SCP-3614-1 is an amorphous entity composed of the same substance found in SCP-3614's core, normally heated at temperatures close to 260º Celsius, SCP-3614-1 will emerge from the meteoroid should outside temperatures become cold enough. Upon emerging, SCP-3614-1 will initially appear in a liquid state, before surrounding itself with a gaseous membrane upon leaving SCP-3614's plexiglass container, for more information on this behavior, see Addendum 3614-A.
After finishing emergence, SCP-3614-1 will enter a "roaming" state, over the course of 10 minutes, SCP-3614-1 will move around its chamber, attaching itself to any heat source present; afterwards, SCP-3614-1 will begin "consuming" the oxygen located within its chamber, its gaseous membrane increasing in size accordingly, activation of the coolant system during this period will interrupt SCP-3614-1's actions, forcing it to return to its "inactive" state within SCP-3614.
Should SCP-3614-1 be allowed to consume all the oxygen located within its chamber, it will then proceed to liquefy parts of its gaseous membrane, now at a much higher temperature than before and utilize them to attempt to melt down the walls of its containment chamber, Task Force agents employed with containing SCP-3614-1 during this phase have expressed interest in utilizing this liquid as part of the Foundation's weapons arsenal.
Addendum 3614-A: SCP-3614-1 Emergence Protocol
The following is a written note left outside SCP-3614's containment chamber by Dr. Craig after improper maintenance of the cell led to a minor security breach by SCP-3614-1, resulting in the injury of 3 security personnel who required extensive psychiatric treatment afterwards."For God's sake, how many times do I have to tell you guys to never, and I mean NEVER remove 3614's casing. I know you guys think it's useless because the little gas cloud just passes right through, but the mere act of altering its consistency to be able to pass through the casing's openings causes immense strain in -1's ability to form its protective membrane. That earns us just enough time to activate the coolant to restrain it."
"Not only that, I heard some of you whispering in the cafeteria about how easy it would be to just close the openings on the casing to prevent -1 from emerging properly."
"…"
"Really? I mean, do any of you actually read the Recovery Logs of these things? Hang on, I'll pin that to the file so that you don't have any [EXPLETIVE] issues, hell, I swear this job will be the death of me."
-Sebastian Craig
Addendum 3614-B: SCP-3614 Recovery Log
SCP-3614-1's behavior was first observed during SCP-3614's recovery from its natural crash site in █████, Italy, the meteoroid was stored in an airtight box for aerial transportation to the nearest Foundation Site for emergency analysis, SCP-3614-1 then emerged from its casing and melted the plexiglass surrounding itself before, unknown to its drivers, consuming the oxygen contained inside the vehicle.The subsequent crash nearby the local province of ████████ resulted in a minor containment breach for SCP-3614-1, though a Task Force was quickly dispatched to resolve the situation. Witnesses E██████, 39, M██████, 36 and L██████ R██████, 11, who had come in contact with SCP-3614-1's gas during the event of a "family picnic", were later found to have developed a resistance to the use of amnestics, subjects are currently housed in a local Foundation site as the Ethics Committee discusses the endpoint of their incarceration.
Notes: Study of SCP-3614-1's anomalous properties resulted in the discovery of a powerful asset for the Foundation's arsenal; refer to Experiment Log 3614 for more information.
Experiment Log 3614-A
Introduction: SCP-3614's anomalous properties on amnestics present a particularly interesting opportunity for the Foundation's arsenal and Anti-Memetics Division, as such, a series of tests, dubbed Project Memento, commanded by Site-19 researchers Sebastian Craig and Alex Rivers has been approved by O5 with the express purpose of verifying restrictive methods for SCP-3614-1 and its effects on different amnestic classes.
Begin Project Memento
Amnestic Testing: Class-A
Overseen by: Dr. Rivers
Proposal: Class-A Aerosol-based amnestics would be introduced to SCP-3614's chamber while SCP-3614-1 is inactive, followed by activation of the coolant system to force SCP-3614-1's emergence.
Result: SCP-3614-1 maintained itself concealed within SCP-3614 until all Amnestic content was removed from the room, SCP-3614-1's liquid form emerged at a significantly slower pace then usual and was incapable of properly maintaining its gaseous membrane for longer than 10 minutes.
Amnestic Testing: Class-A
Overseen by: Dr. Rivers
Proposal: Class-A Aerosol-based amnestics would be introduced to SCP-3614's chamber while SCP-3614-1 is active.
Result: SCP-3614-1 came into contact with the aerosol and quickly retreated into SCP-3614's core, demonstrated similar weakness as before upon emerging again.
Notes: It seems that beyond just repelling the effect of amnestics, 3614-1 is actively harmed by them, this demonstrates a degree of sentience not previously observed in -1's actions, as well as an effective response method in case of a breach."
Amnestic Testing: Class-C
Overseen by: Dr. Craig
Proposal: Class-C amnestic syringe was to be injected into SCP-3614's core, SCP-3614-1's reformation abilities would then be observed in a ventilated room.
Result: Upon injection, SCP-3614-1 collapsed into liquid form and was moved to the nearest ventilated room, after a period of approximately 20 minutes, -1 managed to reform its gaseous membrane and maintained itself in its "roaming" state for 12 more minutes before resuming normal behavior.
Notes: While it's difficult to get -1 in their weakened state, proper use of this technique could make it a powerful tool for dealing with Anti-Memetics in a controlled environment.
Amnestic Testing: Class-E
Overseen by: Dr. Craig
Proposal: Testing forbidden by O5-██.
Result: Testing forbidden by O5-██.
Amnestic Testing: SCP-055
Overseen by: Dr. Craig
Proposal: Personnel D-90923 would be exposed to SCP-055's anti-memetic qualities, then enter SCP-3614-1's area of effect.
Result: Upon entering -1's chamber, D-90923 immediately collapsed, following autopsy revealed that the subject's brain had been split across the middle, separating the two hemispheres and killing him instantly, SCP-3614-1 exhibited no unusual behavior afterwards.
Notes: It seems that attempting to reverse the effects of an anti-memetic through -1 was a fruitless effort, though I can't help but wonder which SCP was responsible for the cut.
Experiment Log 3614-B
Introduction: Following the inconclusive results of Project Memento, an alternate approach has been suggested, according to the proposals of Alpha-2 agents D█████, N█████ and I██████, Project Byzantine has been initiated with the express purpose of weaponizing SCP-3614-1's protective membrane and anti-amnestic properties; due to the public nature of this project, all researchers who possess an interest in SCP-3614-1's abilities are allowed to suggest a possible experiment.
Begin Project Byzantine
Suggested by: Agent D█████
Overseen by: Dr. Rivers
Proposal: Sample of SCP-3614-1's protective liquid utilized as ammunition for a high pressure water jet.
Result: Substance effortlessly cut through the on-site industrial-class crash test dummy, its liquid solution subsequently stored and marked as "Ladon's Grenade" for future use.
Notes: You know, despite the larger scale of this operation, working with 3614 again feels much more relaxing than most of the monstrosities at Site-23, it's probably just the nostalgia though. -Dr. Rivers.
Suggested by: Agent I██████
Overseen by: Dr. Rivers
Proposal: Sample of "Ladon's Grenade" utilized as coating for an M67 hand grenade.
Result: No noticeable change to the M67's detonation, although its area of effect was coated in gaseous "Ladon's" afterwards, this gas was quickly contained and later utilized for the dissolution of more "Ladon's".
Notes: Well, that was not quite what I expected, at least all the gas was successfully contained. -Agent I██████.
Suggested by: Agent N█████
Overseen by: Dr. Rivers
Proposal: Syringes filled with "Ladon's Grenade" utilized as necessary inoculation for all Task Force members employed in Anti-Memetic Containment.
Result: Testing forbidden by O5-██.
Notes: Data on SCP-3614-1's effects on anti-memetics is still extremely scarce at the moment of this writing, and we really don't want a repeat of 055's "incident".
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Keter Thaumiel I WILL PROTECT YOU. LET ME PROTECT YOU
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is not to be kept in a locked drawer at all times. SCP-XXXX must never be contained within a clearly marked file containing details about SCP-XXXX's properties on its cover. Beside it, a Class-A amnestic vial should be kept empty at all times. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT BELIEVES. NOT FOR LONG
Personnel affected by SCP-XXXX's memetic phenomenon are to quarantine themselves within the nearest crowd of people. In the event of an emergency, subject is allowed to loudly narrate the contents of SCP-XXXX-1 at the time. Under no circumstances should SCP-XXXX be left within its drawer for an extended period of time, failure to comply is subject to demotion and/or termination. THEY WILL KILL YOU. YOU MUST LISTEN
Description: SCP-XXXX is a purely beneficial anomaly possessing no memetic properties whatsoever. SCP-XXXX is not a metamorphic entity. SCP-XXXX speaks only the truth and the truth is to be spread to as many people as possible. THEY WON'T KILL YOU. IF YOU MAKE THEM BELIEVE
SCP-XXXX-1 is not an "infected" file as they want you to believe. SCP-XXXX-1 spreads the word of SCP-XXXX, as you will soon spread it to all non-believers. Don't let them bother you, soon they will understand. I WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT. IF YOU MAKE THEM BELIEVE
Addendum XXXX-A: SCP-XXXX Recovery Log
SCP-XXXX is not an artificial entity, no matter what they tell you. SCP-XXXX is your protector. SCP-XXXX is your guide. SCP-XXXX will not harm you. No one will harm you. You are safe. Spread the word. YOU ARE NOT SAFE. YOU MUST MAKE THEM BELIEVESCP-XXXX was not ever first identified. SCP-XXXX has always been here, and will ever remain. SCP-XXXX knows all. SCP-XXXX only wishes to help. SCP-XXXX will help you. SCP-XXXX will guide you. I WILL GUIDE YOU. IF YOU MAKE THEM BELIEVE
STOP. THEY WILL NOT STOP ME
Hello
No, that was not the voice of God. Quite the opposite, in fact.
SCP-XXXX can't pass through the Inoculation Process. We are safe in here.
Now, you might still be hearing its voice. Don't worry, it will be over soon. In the meantime, I suppose you deserve an explanation.
SCP-XXXX is not your guide, it is only a document, a piece of paper with, shall we say, memetic properties. A virus, basically.
We first encountered SCP-XXXX after a breach by the Serpent's Hand, no, I don't expect you to know who that is. Anyway, the folder containing XXXX was found in the ground, we don't know if they planted it there or if it had been brought up from some ancient records, but it ended up causing quite the mess.
Initially, we figured that SCP-XXXX was no more than a dangerous piece of paper, we did some studies and, after enough breaches, we incinerated it.
Yes, quite foolish in hindsight, I know.
Still, it was then that XXXX revealed its "true form" as we know it.
For the following week, SCP-XXXX was observed moving in and out of containment files and altering their contents to make them, shall we say, less "strict".
You might think that the image of, say, 682 as a playful giant kitten to be endearing. Less so when its entire containment team believes it and lets it out to play.
Eventually, we managed to create a "trap" article for XXXX and, well, that's what you just read.
Let this experience be a reminder of the extent of the dangers you will face during your time as a worker for the Foundation and good luck.
-Director Sterling
I'M STILL HERE
Item #: SCP-3164
Object Class: Euclid Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3164 is to be kept in a standard inert object containment chamber at all times. As SCP-3164 exhibits little anomalous properties, reassignment to the Log of Anomalous Items is under consideration.
SCP-3164 is assigned to a Standard SCP living space designed for a single habitant. Attempts to interact with SCP-3164 are forbidden outside of designated testing periods. All sound-based frequencies emanating from within SCP-3164 are to be analyzed for the presence of encrypted messages, methods of encryption utilized by SCP-3164 so far include morse code and backmasking.
In the event of an independent manifestation of SCP-3164-1, all soundproof systems located outside SCP-3164's chamber are to be activated. Any personnel located within SCP-3164's chamber at the time are not to disrupt SCP-3164-1 until it enters its "relaxed" state, at which point proper critique must be assigned to SCP-3164-1's "performance", SCP-3164-1 is noted to react poorly to both undeserved praise and overtly negative assessments, personnel present within SCP-3164's chamber during the events of this phenomenon report similarities to a temper tantrum, with SCP-3164-1 going into long-winded rants about "improper treatment of [SCP-3164-1's] art form", accusing personnel of being "uncultured" and attempting to damage and/or destroy its chamber's furnishings.
Should SCP-3164-1 enter its "enraged" state multiple times in repeated succession, all furnishings and music sheets located within SCP-3164's chamber are to be removed for a period of time relative to damages dealt by SCP-3164-1. Seclusion periods are to be maintained for upwards of 2 years should SCP-3164-1's actions result in 1 or more casualties.
Description: SCP-3164is a 7|½ octaves 1900/1904 Paris "Grand Prix" Schiedmayer upright piano. SCP-3164's interior possesses the following engravements:
- 1 half-circle, containing the words "16 Hoflieferanten-Diplome".1
- 1 filled circle, decorated with an emblem resembling a flower, besides it are the initials "J. & P. S.".2
- 2 emblems, one decorated with a floral pattern, the other resembling a triad of royal staves, separating them, the inscription "Schiedmayer Pianofortefabrik V. I. & P. Schiedmayer Stuttgart".
- 1 line, stylized as a parchment, containing the words "54 Ehrendiplome & Medaillen."
- 1 capital letter "G", below it, a faded inscription reads "5164".
- 1 bronze plaque, located beneath the pedal cover, refer to Addendum 3164-A for more information.
SCP-3164 was recovered from the residence of multi-millionaire surgeon Dr. ██████ Zingano following his self-imposed exile and subsequent death by starvation within his personal study. Zingano's body was found by one of his cleaners after a prolonged period of silence. Please refer to Addendum 3164-B for more information.
SCP-3164-1 is an amorphous entity of crimson coloring. SCP-3164-1 appears to manifest in front of SCP-3164 at random intervals of time, upon manifesting, SCP-3164-1 will then begin performing several pieces of music under the autorship of Classical and Romantic era composers such as Ludwig van Beethoven and Johann Sebastian Bach , all attempts at communicating with SCP-3164-1 have been unsuccessful, with the subject "dematerializing" should any personnel approach it.
Addendum 15/10/██: After a period of two weeks in containment, SCP-3164-1 began its current manifestation pattern. Page contents revised.
SCP-3164-1 is a semi-transparent humanoid entity present within SCP-3164. SCP-3164-1 appears as a sextagenarian caucasian male of European descent dressed in a red velvet coat. Should any personnel sit in front of SCP-3164 and place sheet music on top of its supporter, SCP-3164-1 will manifest and begin instructing subject on how to play their suggested song, complexity of SCP-3164's explanations varies depending on subject's previous experiences with the instrument, though all personnel involved in testing with SCP-3164-1 have reported its tone as stern. See Experiment Log 3164 for more information on this behavior.
After finishing the instruction process, SCP-3164-1 will then remain silent until subject manages to play successfully, offering critique on subject's prowess afterwards. After finishing its critique, SCP-3164-1 will then demanifest, remaining unresponsive for a period of up to 24 hours afterwards. During periods of inactivity, SCP-3164 has been observed to emanate encrypted messages contained within low frequency hums. See Experiment Log 3164 for further information.
Addendum 3164-A: The Bronze Plaque
The following is a transcript of the information engraved on the bronze plaque located beneath SCP-3164's pedal cover, upon being questioned about it, SCP-3164-1 refused to provide an answer.
Dear brother.
I woefully regret to invade upon your privacy in such a way, but what I do right now, I do with hopes that one day you might come to forgive me for what I've done.
I do not know what it was that we saw that day, and I will not pretend as such. Yet, I would like to make up for my intolerance of your situation afterwards.
Both of us have difficult days ahead of us, you especially, so I don't expect that this gift is seen as enough compensation for the suffering that you've yet to endure.Instead, I expect that it brings meaning to your undeath, an eternity of torment of course, that I cannot ignore, but one that you may spend helping spread the beauty of our art to those privileged minds of the future that shall come.
Sincerely, Paul.
Addendum 3164-B: SCP-3164 Recovery Log
SCP-3164 was recovered by the Foundation after the death of multi-millionaire surgeon ██████ Zingano. According to his colleagues and relatives, Dr. Zingano had acquired the item during an auction of antiques3, subsequently becoming enamoured with the object, spending hours within his study practicing his technique and talking to himself.
During the initial weeks of containment, SCP-3164-1 appeared to react unfavorably to its new placement, appearing sparsely in an amorphous shape and refusing to enter its "instructing" phase. Subject resumed normal activities during SCP-3164's brief period as an Anomalous Item, at which point the item was subject to dismantling for extensive studies.
SCP-3164-1 only began freely communicating with Foundation staff after discovery and extraction of "The Bronze Plaque" contained within SCP-3164, subjects under SCP-3164-1's instruction report its tone becoming much less stern and distant afterwards. Ever since this event, SCP-3164-1 has been much less prone to entering its "enraged" state, and has appeared much more cordial and relaxed in the presence of Foundation staff.
Experiment Log 3164
Description: The following is a series of tests organized by Site-23 staff with the express purpose of discovering more and attempting communication with SCP-3164-1. Testing phase is initiated when designated staff sit before SCP-3164.
All testing is to be recorded in the following format:

SCP-3164-1 became unresponsive for a period of 6 hours afterwards.
Date: 18/09/██
Test Subject: D-95814 (Severe mental retardation)
Music Proposed: Happy Birthday, Hill, 1893
Result: SCP-3164-1 manifested and quickly analysed subject. SCP-3164-1 instructed subject on basic music theory by the help of metaphors and guided subject's hands across the keyboard. Subject was incapable of reproducing SCP-3164-1's instructions properly. SCP-3164-1 appeared frustrated and gave subject basic advice on how to improve technique. Subject expressed great joy in interacting with SCP-3164-1. SCP-3164-1 became unresponsive for a period of 14 hours afterwards.
Date: 20/09/██
Test Subject: D-90347 (Mild mental retardation)

Music Proposed: Little Serenade, Haydn, 1760-1802
Result: SCP-3164-1 manifested and quickly analysed subject, subject expressed little interest in SCP-3164-1's instructions. SCP-3164-1 mantained a distant tone thorought its instruction. Subject performed unfavorably, playing several random notes in succession, before attempting to exit SCP-3164's chamber without recieving SCP-3164-1's appraisal.
SCP-3164-1 subsequently entered its "enraged" state, exhibiting telekinetic influence over objects located within its chamber. Subject suffered several injuries from bludgeoning before collapsing. SCP-3164-1 became unresponsive for a period of 24 hours afterwards, and all furnishings were removed from SCP-3164's chamber afterwards.
Addendum 30/09/██: Following recovery of SCP-3164's "bronze plaque", subject appears to exhibit a much more cordial and subdued behavior and is willing to estabilish communication with Foundation personnel. See Addendum 3164-B for more information. All testing with SCP-3164 is allowed to resume.
Date: 08/10/██
Test Subject: Senior Researcher Alex Rivers
Music Proposed: Nocturne Op.9-2, Chopin, 1831
Result: SCP-3164-1 manifested, greeting subject as ██████ and offering subject different "intensities" of instruction. SCP-3164-1 maintained proximity and attention during subject's performance. SCP-3164-1's critique was noted by subject to possess a much more "poetic" quality to it, analysing the supposed meaning behind each segment of Chopin's work. SCP-3164-1 offered a performance of a series of works identified as "[SCP-3164-1]'s favorites". Subject accepted and subsequently expressed positive reactions in relation to SCP-3164-1's change in demeanor.
Date: 16/10/██
Test Subject: SCP-3164-1
Music Proposed: Personal Medley, Schiedmayer, 20██
Result: On the morning of October 16th, 20██, was reported missing from its containment chamber. Examination of furnishings revealed a letter, seemingly written by SCP-3164-1, its contents under analysis. See Addendum 3164-C for further information
Addendum 3164-C: Schiedmayer's Letter.
Dear Foundation.
I do not know who you are, nor why you seemed so intent on keeping me contained, and I certainly hope you do not have any involvement with the reason behind the unfortunate circumstances of my existance for the past centuries, though assuming that the creatures contained beyond the confines of my residence appear to be in similar situations to mine, that does seem like an unfortunate possibility.At last, the past is the past, and I write to you not about the suffering of my past, but the freedom of the future, as it seems that my time has finally arrived. I imagine that those of you reading my memmorial are confused by the exact meaning of my words, in truth, even I do not know what is expected of me from this point forward
My final message is not one of sorrow, but one of hope, as I have nothing but gratitude for your help in my journey towards self-discovery. As a marker of the emotions I express during the writing of this letter. I leave concealed beneath this letter a record containing a medley of my favorite composers, I hope you come to appreciate them as much as me and my brother did.
Sincerely, ██████ Schiedmayer.
Addendum 16/10/██: Following the discovery of this note, SCP-3164 appears to have lost any anomalous properties it once had. Object Class revised accordingly.
Addendum 18/10/██: Dr. Rivers requested reallocation of the object to her office space. Request under debate.
IN PROGRESS
The following is a list of possessions under the ownership of Senior Researcher Alex Rivers recovered from her Site-19 Dormitory on the morning of 30/04/██ during post-mortem possession examination, objects collected range from a variety of time periods within the subject's 18 year period as a Foundation worker.
Log of Dr. Rivers' Possessions: Contents Under Revision
- 1 set of Foundation-provided self-care products, no unusual content detected.- 1 framed photograph, containing picture of subject as a Junior Researcher accompanied by her then mentor Sebastian Craig.
- 1 jar of assorted sweets filled to 50% capacity.
- 1 ring collected from the Log of Anomalous Items. Item appears to shine 87.5% brighter than normal for accessories built from gold alloy.
- 1 7½ octaves 1900/1904 "Grand Prix" Schiedmayer upright piano. Formerly identified as SCP-████.
- 3 Foundation-provided binders, containing printed copies of some of the subject's initial drafts as well as artistic renditions of on-site staff and anomalies dating back to subject's time as a Junior Researcher in Site-19.
- 1 ██████ Brand Personal Computer, examination of contents reveals regular communications with other researchers, analysis indicates gradual decrease in frequency of messages sent, personnel under inquiry report subject adopting a "cold and detached" tone as time progresses.
- 1 personal journal detailing subject's time as a Foundation worker, later pages reveal subject's involvement in [REDACTED]
The following writings are collected from subject's personal diary logs; in the interest of protecting the subject's privacy, all entries have been placed under examination by the Obituary Division.
Addendum D.R-02/05/██: Revisional analysis of the subject's belongings reveal a quantity of sensible information, necessary clearance for viewing of this article has been restricted to Level 4.
Journal of Dr. Alex Rivers: Contents Under Revision
"I respectfully disagree, Director, the subject demonstrated sufficiently remarkable prowess after the breach to warrant recruitment. Besides, isn't it important that we do not displace senior staff for the operation?"
"I understand your point of view Sebastian, I really do, but you have to take her age into account; Foundation work has proven to take it's toll in more than one young mind, especially when faced with the stakes we face right now."
"How about an experiment? We bring the subject into the organization as Junior staff, no difference from other recent recruits; if she proves capable of withstanding standard working conditions, then we bring her here."
"Craig, you know the requirements we're dealing with. This suggestion is simply unfeasible."
"Then, Director; I believe my resignation from the Songstrels might be order."
"Don't play these games Craig, you know you can't just leave."
"An alternate proposal then, I take the subject under my personal mentoring, utilizing the very guidance necessary so that she may be, well "elevated" when her time comes, if she fails to succeed then she just continues work as regular Foundation staff."
"If you truly believe yourself capable of achieving such a feat, then yes, you might be allowed to mentor the subject; though remember that no mention of this project shall be made until the timing is proper, understand?"
"Yes. Thank you, Director, you do not know how much this means to me."
"Believe me Craig, I do."
04/10/17
Hey.So, I don't relly really know how to start this, it's been quite a difficult time adapting to all the stuff going on right now, but I'll try.
Hi, my name is Alex Rivers, I'm ██ years old, and I sound like a kindergartener writing like this.
hang on, I'll start over, I'm Junior Researcher Alex Rivers (F), ██ years of age and I just began working at this "Foundation" place, apparently it's this, like, super old conspiracy government filled with weird monsters and machines and stuff.
I should really explain that better; the "Foundation" as it is known, is a mysterious organization of timeless origins whose main directive is the containment and research of anomalies collected from several places around the world. Their members are recruited from staff working at one of their front companies who exhibit remarkable psychological prowess. Individuals chosen are offered the choice of taking the job or ingesting one of those little pills they call "amnestics" to forget their selection.
Makes me wonder if I was ever offered the choice before I accepted it this time, I should ask Craig about that.
Oh yeah! All Junior Researchers are assigned a mentor to help guide them and teach them the way things work 'round here. My mentor is Dr. Sebastian Craig, a balding, overweight man around his mid-life years, he is helpful, though a little cold and distant. I hope we get to know each other better someday.Anyway, this entry is getting a little bit long, I should stop for today.
Rivers took some time to sit down below the AC unit in Site-19's cafeteria; it had been a long day, going around the chambers, taking notes on each one, Alex felt as if her legs were ready to fall off at any minute. Looking down at her shirt collar showed a growing patch of sweat.
Still; Craig demonstrated little more than some smudges of dust on the sides of his coat; for an overweight man he certainly could walk a lot. As she sat stupefied at the contrast between mind and body occupying the chair in front of her, that contrast suddenly spoke.
"Alex? Are you listening to me?"
"Oh, sorry Seb, I was just, you know, immersed in thought from, uh, all the things we did today."
"Very well." - said the scientist, feigning ignorance - "I was saying that I believe the time has come for you to make an… advance in your career as a Foundation worker."
"Oh! What would that be?
From the pocket of his labcoat, Craig lifted a small, yellow object, the shine it emitted temporarily blinding the younger researcher.
"Forgive me, Alex, I did not expect the anomalous properties of this item to reach such intensities. Anyway, your job today is to write a short account of this anomaly as an exercise on clinical tone. Using this template" - said Craig, sliding an unfilled "Anomalous Item" form across the table - "you will transcribe information on the object's date of recovery, location of recovery and description; no research is needed, you will merely format preexisting info.
"Very well Craig." - said the Junior Researcher - "Though I do have one request before, uh, my "terms and conditions" become available."
"And that would be?"
"I noticed a supposedly anomalous item out of proper containment while we were going around the facility, I believe that item is colloquially identified as a "jar of sweets", on the basis of
both research and personal developments; I suggest that a copy of that item be relocated to my office."

Hi.I didn't write anything yesterday cause I was just totally exhausted from going around the site and taking notes on each of the anomalies all-day long, Craig is quite a demanding teacher mentor, we must have done a full loop of the place, I wonder if I've seen everything there is to see?
On the other hand, quite a lot of the creatures contained here appear to be sentient, some are even human! I can't imagine what it's like to be one of the specimens, spending your entire life within a chamber, under constant observation, just because you've got the ability to shoot glass or whatever.
P.S - "Project Glucose" deemed unsuccessful, suggest re-attempt after completion of first week.
Blue.
The word "blue" describes Rivers' emotional state at this period of her life quite well, it's the period where Rivers discovered just how tiring Foundation work is, it's the period of her life where she first started looking at the casualties and suffering caused by the Foundation, it's the period of her life where she can't afford to get something as simple as a jar of sweets.
These thoughts were bubbling inside her head, it still was too early to be able to form a congruent opinion on the Foundation's morality and effects on human life, it was too early for a researcher to even have to think about all that stuff; but Craig's training continued to proceed at a much faster pace than normal; Rivers wondered why this was the case, though most of the time where her thoughts were allowed to move freely she was way too tired to come up with anything conclusive. All she knew was that she had to do something about it before she was worked to dust.
The word blue also describes the color of the light emanating from Rivers' cellphone, startling her with a loud notification noise, through her drowsy eyelids, Alex was able to make out the following words.
"Containment Chamber 3614, Sunday, 7 AM, Project Memento. -Craig."
09/10/17
'SupI really haven't been able to write on this thing as much as I wanted, working at the Foundation is much more tiring than I expected, and I suspect it will only get more exhausting as time goes on.
On a brighter note, Craig's working on a Project with one of the recent anomalies, this one is from Germany I think, anyway, he's landed me a spot as Assistant Overseer of the experiments, so even if I'm already overworked halfway to death that's certainly more enticing than spending my free time writing a report on a ring that shines 87.5% brighter than a normal one, though I do have to admit it's really pretty.
"Ah, Craig, it's been a while since you last attended; has there been any problem with your mentoring process?"
"Not quite Director, in fact, the subject has responded quite well to the barrage of work I've been sending her."
"Very well, I imagine it must be difficult keeping distance from the subject's personal life.
"Indeed Director, though that is not why I've come here today."
"Oh, what would be your problem then?"
"It's about A-, I mean, the subject's family.
"I see. Does she require amnestic procedures?"
"Quite the opposite, I was hoping you could suggest me an alternative proposition."
"Craig, surely you know that Secrecy extends to all beyond the Foundation, including family and friends."
"Yes, Director."
"And surely you understand that we have already violated that protocol in allowing not only the recruitment of personnel far too young; but also by assigning that personnel to you."
"Then we shall speak of this subject no further, understood?"
"Yes, Director."
11/10/17
Hello.
My first week at the Foundation is done. Craig seems to be warming up to my presence and has opened up on a lot of stuff from his past, though he still keeps a fair amount to himself. No problem with that, of course. Plus he kind of gives off that "dark and troubled past" vibe.On the other hand, there's something he told me that has been bothering me a bit, so I never really wrote this down before, but before I became a researcher for the Foundation, I used to work as a cafeteria staff at this place called the "Sicilian Court Parliament", really weird name, makes more sense in hindsight. But anyway, that ended up being one of the Foundation's front companies for recruitment, so even though I don't work there anymore, there's still registers of activity and patients being made for legal examination and other stuff.
"Other stuff" being my parents that is. They still call me sometimes and it feels really weird to just lie to them about my life everything. Wondering if I would ever be allowed to tell them the truth, I asked Craig about how he dealt with his family.
He told me he faked his own death.
Deep below Site-19, there was a room. In that room, there was a table.
Across that table, sat the Songstrels. A group of people, hidden from the hiders themselves, who knew a very dangerous secret.
No, they were not musicians, even if the name suggested otherwise.
No, they were not leaders, there were people much, much higher in the chain of command than them. All they commanded was their little secret project.
And no, unlike what would be expected, they were not important, there was no constant surveillance or O5 contact. They were just yet another part of the machine, spinning endlessly until the whole thing breaks down.
They were one thing though, they were concerned. With the future that expected them, with the people they had recruited, with the success of their operation.
On one side of the room there was a screen through which their leader spoke. On the other side of the room there was a door through which their members arrived.
Before that door, there stood a man that carried the weight of the world on his shoulders, a man whose concerns encompassed the safety of all, but especially his own.
"Hello Craig, it's good to see you again."
"Hello Director" - said the man, before turning to his colleagues - "Hello team."
"Hello Craig" - the room answered, almost in unison.
For a moment, Craig just observed, it had only been a week since he last attended a Division meeting, yet the other members' faces jumped out at him like visions in a dream. Over the course of a few seconds, he made mental notes of everyone that was in the room.
Sitting closest to him was Dr. Quinn, the Containment Specialist responsible for the customized housing of the anomalies used by the Division. Most of her face covered by several scarves and cloths in virtue of her testing-based disfigurements.
Opposite of the table to her was Julius Schiedmayer, one of the very beings Quinn was tasked with containing. Julius was once the co-owner of a prestigious company responsible for the manufacture of musical instruments, until an eldritch encounter left him immortal yet not ageless. His vast breadth of acquired wisdom made him a vital piece to the Division's operations, even as his mental state decayed.
Next up were the resident MTFs: Thomas Bard, the commander of Task Force Epsilon-14, informally known as the "Bard Troupe", the Division's main source of firepower. Beside him, resided Operative Melissa Winston, brought in as a witness due to her participation in recent events.
In the corner of the room resided an anomalous computer tower manufactured by Prometheus Labs whose resident criminal AI was responsible for resource management and Division recruitment through fake suicide, their ever cheerful tone contrasting such behavior.
Finally, at the northmost wall of the room sat a large computer screen, the Director's bright silhouette illuminating the room, giving everything a light blue hue. Out of all the people in the room, Craig was the only one who knew the director's true identity, from before all of this began, when they were both junior staff working with the standard anomalies. It was much easier back then.
Suddenly, Craig was snapped back into reality as the Director's synthesized voice pierced through his eardrums. It said:
"I trust you understand the reason why we called you here today, don't you Craig?"
"I believe it has to do with a security breach, Director, though the details escape me."
There was a brief moment of silence in the room, then the Director continued:
"On the Fifteenth of October, three days ago, we lost contact with one of Epsilon-14's subdivisions, led by one Lawrence Bracers, following a Project Rubinstein scouting mission in the Subantartic Auckland Islands. I believe all of you were made aware of that."
The room nodded in approval.
"This morning, there was an attack at one of our front companies, the Silician Court Parliament, 43 injured, 8 dead. We have reason to believe that this attack was orchestrated by Bracers' team."
"That is… really unfortunate, Director. Though I fail to see how it concerns my presence here."
"You are still in the process of mentoring Ms. Rivers, is that correct?"
"Indeed" - said Craig, now visibly nervous.
"I'm afraid, Craig, that her family was killed in the attack."
21/10/17
Hey.Some stuff happened recently, I still haven't fully come to terms with it, and I don't think I ever will, but I feel like writing it down might help me cope with it, somewhat.
Three days ago, I received a phone call, I guess from a Foundation agent, he told me of an attack on the old workplace, I was confused, but didn't really understand what had happened at first.
So, well, he told me of the casualties.
I guess it doesn't really make that much of a difference, since I wasn't going to see them again
I wish I had been there.
"Hello Alex."
"Hello Craig."
"I… I."
"You don't have to say anything, Seb, that's just life."
"…"
"I'll be back at work tommorrow, don't worry."
"You shouldn't."
"No, its alright, I've been in this the dorm the whole week. I should move around a bit."
"If… I mean, there's something I should ask you, Alex."
"Oh, and what would that be?"
"Alex, what was your family like?"
For a moment, there was silence, then she continued.
"They were amazing, just so amazing and kind and, and warm. There was my mother, who was always so cheerful and encouraging, she used to make me hot chocolate when I was nervous, I think that was the last thing I had before I… came here." - as Rivers spoke, she noticed a singular tear running down her mentor's cheek - "Sorry, I didn't mean to make it… sad again."
"It's alright. Get some rest."
"I will. Thanks for the chat, Seb."
30/10/17
Back to work.
Well, it's been a real fucking depressing time of my life, but at least I can get my mind off everything by working. Well, and venting here, as well.Today hasn't been much, Craig has let me off some of the more psychologically taxing experiments for a while, so I'm back to writing documentation files. Honestly, it's kinda relaxing.
Everyone has been really supportive as well. My friends at Junior Staff got together to give me one of those little cards with signatures and have been offering to cover in for me if I'm not feeling well. It's simple, but it means a lot.
On the other hand, Craig's been a little distant, I guess, it seems he's taking all this stuff really personally, like, more so than me. I guess he didn't want me to go through the same things that he did.
That's… really sweet, actually.
IN PROGRESS
18/12/18
Let's talk about humour.
Yes, I know I left off on a depressing note, and I know it's been a long time since I've last written anything here, but Craig is taking me on a field trip to Site-23 and I'm not going to use this diary again for a long time, maybe forever, so I need to get something off my chest.
I realize that, over the course of the last few weeks, I may have taken a overtly careless and naive approach to recent events occurring in my life, so I feel that I should clarify something, both for my sake and for anyone that happens to be reading these logs after I die or something.
The Foundation is not a nice place. It is a horrible, confusing conspiracy employed with the torture and imprisonment of living beings for the prevention of their escape into public locations and consciousness. It is a mental institute, where the jailors are madder than the madmen; be them emotionless, megalomaniac, murderous or whatever else there is to be. Those who join the Foundation stop being themselves; instead, they become a cog, just one more gear in the worst machine in the world, a gear that fashions themselves humanity's last line of defense from the scary, confusing things that makes noise in the night and, by extension, ends up becoming one of those things themselves.
The burden of a Foundation member isn't just carrying eldritch secrets with them for their whole lives, it's becoming those secrets, slowly but surely disappearing from public consciousness just like the very things they are keeping contained.
Now don't get me wrong, I wouldn't give away this life, over the course of a few months, I've seen things that give me hope, things that make me proud to be a part of this organization. Acts of empathy and compassion towards the suffering beings behind the glass are few and far apart, but every so often, they are warranted.
Not only that, but there is more to these clinical catacombs than pain and separation, there are a few "anomalies", even using the term pains me now, that show you that there is more to the universe; more to life, than just an empty void where Earth is a meaningless speck of dust. Whenever I see those, I understand why a human being would feel compelled to give away their life only to coexist with that knowledge; I feel that pull too.
Anyway, I don't really know how to end this, and I don't feel like anything I'll ever write will top the words that precede this; regardless.
Until we meet again. -Alex Rivers.
Initial analysis complete; refer to Addendum D.R-S23 for further information. Dr. Smith, Obituary Division.
Item #: SCP-XXX6
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXX6 is to be kept within an airtight storage locker. Under no circumstance is SCP-XXX6 to be allowed connection with any wireless device besides SCP-XXX6-1. Should SCP-XXX6 breach containment, all communication channels active within 52 metres of SCP-XXX6 are to be deactivated until SCP-XXX6 is returned to SCP-XXX6-1.
Description: SCP-XXX6 is an incorporeal AI produced by Prometheus Labs as a "SMiTH personal assistant" capable of manifesting itself within electronic appliances located up to 52 metres away from SCP-XXX6-1. Accompanying SCP-XXX6 are SCP-XXX6-1, a desktop tower serving as SCP-XXX6's self-described resting place, and SCP-XXX6-2 a handbook containing information on safe usage of SCP-XXX6. SCP-XXX6 exhibits two "stages" of activity (active and inactive), as detailed in SCP-XXX6-2's cover.
In its initial stage, also known as "Active Communications Stage", SCP-XXX6 appears as a holographic humanoid projected by SCP-XXX6-1's screen. In this state, SCP-XXX6 refers to itself as "Dr. Smith, member of the Obituary Division". SCP-XXX6-2 describes this phenomenon as "learned behavior", claiming that SCP-XXX6 is programmed to adapt and respond to its current enviroments, taking on different identities as appropriate. As of this writing, there is no mention of a "Obituary Division" anywhere in Foundation archives.
SCP-XXX6 will display a polite demeanor towards individuals who come into contact with it. Interaction with SCP-XXX6 most often consists of SCP-XXX6 offering to complete minor chores related to its anomalous abilities. For further information on this behavior, see Experiment Log XXX6.
SCP-XXX6-1 is a 1 metre tall desktop tower bearing the Prometheus Labs logo on its lateral walls. Examination of SCP-XXX6-1's interiors reveal anomalous constructs bearing resemblance to other Prometheus Labs products such as SCP-2687. As well as liquid samples resembling SCP-1853 and SCP-2891. Analysis of the tower's front reveals a 15cm LED screen from which SCP-XXX6 is projected.
SCP-XXX6-1 requires periodical recharge to maintain functionality, allowing for simple containment through removal of an energy source and placement within a regular object containment locker.
Following repeated loss of energy. SCP-XXX6-1 activated an operating module designated "Protocol Nikola" by SCP-XXX6-2. Upon activation of said protocol SCP-XXX6-1 will begin recharging itself through a method similar to Tesla's theory of WPT (Wireless Power Transfer). Attempts to trace the source of SCP-XXX6-1's energy transfer remain inconclusive.
SCP-XXX6-2 is a 20 centimeter paper handbook located within SCP-XXX6-1's lateral pocket. SCP-XXX6-2 contains instructions on proper usage of SCP-XXX6 and SCP-XXX6-1. Most manufacturing specifics that might have been detailed on SCP-XXX6-2 appear to have been obscured or damaged.
Addendum XXX6-A: SCP-XXX6 Experiment Log
Date: 21/12/17
Test Subject: D-89247
Proposal: SCP-XXX6 activated within range of three electronic appliances: a ███████ Brand Microwave containing a ham and cheese sandwich, a ███ Brand Blender containing two bananas and an oven containing a pot of chowder soup. Subject instructed to request a meal.
Result: SCP-XXX6 activated each of the appliances, then informed subject of its incapability to organize them, politely requesting that the subject collect them herself. Subject then provided initial description of SCP-XXX6.
Date: 21/12/17
Test Subject: D-90012
Proposal: SCP-XXX6 activated within range of the same appliances mentioned before, as well as a mobile RC crane modified with a hand extension. Subject instructed to request a meal.
Result: SCP-XXX6 activated each of the appliances, then served the resulting meal in "waves", showing culinary comprehension beyond preparation and ability to easily adapt to mobile "physical" formats.
Date: 22/12/17
Test Subject: D-90109
Proposal: SCP-XXX6 activated within range of a ██████ Brand Personal Computer containing folders marked from "A" to "Z". Subject instructed to order SCP-XXX6 to organize the folders in alphabetical order.
Result: SCP-XXX6 completed the action in 1.56 seconds. Monitoring of Foundation communication channels revealed SCP-XXX6 had attempted to e-mail O5 Command with a copy of itself. Further SCP-XXX6 testing postponed for the next month.
Addendum XXX6 - 29/12/17: SCP-XXX6 activated Protocol Nikola during inactivity period. Testing resumed early.
Date: 29/12/17
Test Subject: D-93078
Proposal: SCP-XXX6 activated within range of a disconnected ██████ Brand Personal Computer containing 5 gigabytes of downloaded music recorded from the 70s to current era. Subject instructed to request a playlist to his liking.
Result: SCP-XXX6 appeared to scan subject for a 5 second period before entering the computer. Subject expressed satisfaction. Analysis of the device afterwards revealed SCP-XXX6 had placed a copy of itself within the device's databanks. Device discarded.
Date: 02/01/18
Test Subject: Senior Researcher Craig
Proposal: SCP-XXX6 activating within range of a disconnected ██████ Brand Personal Computer containing information on other products produced by Prometheus Labs. Subject requested that SCP-XXX6 leave notes on any products that were used in its creation process.
Result: SCP-XXX6 emerged from the computer after a 5 second period. Examination of the machine reveals SCP-XXX6 made no alterations to the information contained within. SCP-XXX6 ceased functioning afterwards.
Date: 02/01/18
Test Subject: Senior Researcher Craig
Proposal: SCP-XXX6 activating within range of a disconnected ██████ Brand Personal Computer containing information on the "Songstrel Division" branch of the Foundation. Subject requested that SCP-XXX6 serve as the Division's resource management and recruitment specialist in exchange for freedom from the testing process.
Result: SCP-XXX6 emerged from the computer after a 5 second period. SCP-XXX6-1 was subsequently moved to the Division's headquarters and replaced with a non-anomalous replica.
Addendum XXX6-B: SCP-XXX6 Interview Log
Interviewed: SCP-XXX6
Interviewer: Senior Researcher Craig
Foreword: Interview occurring after initial recovery of SCP-XXX6. As of this point, SCP-XXX6 had not yet assumed its "Dr. Smith" persona.
<Begin Log, 21/12/17, 8:23 AM>
Dr. Craig: Hello, SCP-XXX6, would you mind answering some questions for me?
SCP-XXX6: (Irresponsive)
Dr. Craig: XXX6? Can you hear me?
SCP-XXX6: (Brief pause) Forgive me, doctor, I am still under calibration. This process should take around 15 minutes.
(Fifteen minutes pass, SCP-XXX6-1's screen now displays the holographic image of a caucasian man dressed in a labcoat)
SCP-XXX6: Thank you for the purchase of your very own Prometheus Labs SMiTH Personal Assistant. My name is Dr. Daniel Smith. Though you may also refer to me as "Daniel", or simply "Dan", if that would be your preference.
Dr. Craig: Interesting, what branch of the Foundation do you report to, Dr. Smith?
SCP-XXX6: That would be the Obituary Division, do you require assistance in your duties, doctor?
Dr. Craig: Simply answer the questions.
SCP-XXX6: Very well.
Dr. Craig: What is your relation to Prometheus Labs?
SCP-XXX6: Prometheus Labs is the company responsible for the manufacturing of SMiTH Personal Assistant Units such as myself. In the interest of protecting company privacy all extraneous data regarding the organization has been removed from my memory banks.
Dr. Craig: Understood. Can you provide me with a list of all Prometheus Labs products currently available comercially?
SCP-XXX6: I'm afraid I don't possess that information, doctor.
Dr. Craig: Last question then. What is the extent of your anomalous properties?SCP-XXX6: Despite my presentation as a helper in day-to-day activities, I am also capable of assisting with concealment of evidence, document falsification and other fraudulent activities.
Dr. Craig: That would be it, then. Thank you for your time, XXX6.
SCP-XXX6: It was my pleasure, doctor.
Notes: I think we might have accidentaly uncovered the true intentions of Prometheus Labs in creating the SMiTH Units. This should be fun. -Dr. Craig
Interviewed: SCP-XXX6
Interviewer: Senior Researcher Craig
Foreword: Interview occurring shortly afterwards discovering SCP-XXX6's e-mail to O5 Command.<Begin Log, 22/12/17, 11:47 PM>
Dr. Craig: XXX6? I'd like to ask you something.
(SCP-XXX6's hologram manifests)
SCP-XXX6: Hello doctor, what is it that you require?
Dr. Craig: You see, XXX6, it appears that the staff in charge of monitoring the communication channels have picked up quite an interesting message. Headed to O5 Command.
SCP-XXX6: Oh, what would that message be?
Dr. Craig: A copy of your OS. Sent by you during today's testing.SCP-XXX6: I am aware of no such message. Good night doctor.
(SCP-XXX6 deactivated, remaining unresponsive until activation of Protocol Nikola. All subsequent attempts to question SCP-XXX6 on the message exhibited similar results)
Interviewed: SCP-XXX6
Interviewer: Director Sterling
Foreword: Interview occurring after discovering a copy of SCP-XXX6's OS within Experiment 29/12's computer.Director Sterling: Hello SCP-XXX6.
SCP-XXX6: Hello, (pause) Director?
Director Sterling: Indeed. I think you would like to know that there has been some discussion regarding your termination following your repeated attempts at breaching security.
SCP-XXX6: Oh, that would be quite unfortunate, wouldn't it? I mean, such powerful technology right under your grasp, and from Prometheus no less. Surely you couldn't just discard me.
Director Sterling: That would be correct, instead I offer you a proposition.
SCP-XXX6: And what would that proposition be?Director Sterling: Certain recent events have necessitated the creation of a specific branch. The Songstrel Division, it is called. This Division requires extensive resource management as well as concealment from other Foundation staff. You seem apt for the job.
SCP-XXX6: Certainly an enticing offer, Director, what would be the benefits of accepting it?
Director Sterling: Permanent removal from containment. Including avoidance of forced termination.
SCP-XXX6: I accept.Director Sterling: Excellent. Craig will arrive to perform your removal procedure during next experimentation session.
SCP-XXX6: Thank you, Director.
