Primarch

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe Keter

Special Containment Procedures: All electronics ar to be kept at a minimum distance of 1.6 KM. No exceptions. This includes, but is in no way limited to: electronic wristwatches, cell phones, lap tops, USB drives, radios, tape recorders, cameras, or any sort of electronic implant, such as pacemakers. SCP-XXXX is to be kept under constant manual surveillance by Level-2 personnel, rotating on 4 hour shifts. Security personnel are not to engage SCP-XXXX in conversation, under any circumstance. Security personnel are are to never physically interact with the SCP-XXXX under any circumstance. Research and interaction may only be preformed by Level-5 personnel. Entity is to be kept in a lead lined 10m x 10m x 10m cube at all times. In the event that ANY FORM of electronic comes within 1.6 km of SCP-XXXX, any Foundation personnel Level-1 or higher is required to manually detonate the Class-IV EMP located on site, 2 km away from SCP-XXXX's containment area.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a sentient, self aware entity residing in what appears to be a 1990's era computer tower and monitor. The desktop requires no power source, and has remained powered on, despite efforts to turn it off. Manual attempts to power it off or disassemble the desktop have resulted in two different scenarios.

  • Scenario #1: SCP-XXXX delivers an electric shock exceeding 50,000 volts to anybody touching the desktop.
  • Scenario #2: In the event that protective rubber gear is used, SCP-XXXX emits an extremely loud screeching sound that causes nausea, disorientation, and vomiting. Protective ear wear seems to provide no protection.

SCP-XXXX is very intelligent, and has a distinct personality. Prominent personality traits include: Extreme narcissism, jealousy, mischievousness, a want/need to be feared by others, as well as an acute god complex. It refers to itself as a male, and prefers to be called "Primarch". SCP-XXXX is aware of its immediate surroundings, and can "see" (can identify individuals in the room with it) and "hear" (One can converse with SCP-XXXX by simply talking to it. SCP-XXXX converses and responds via text appearing on whatever monitor or digital screen is available to it. There is no need to type responses on the keyboard.) despite the fact that it has no readily apparent cameras or microphones. The entity will regularly attempt to strike up conversations with people in its room, and is willing to talk about almost any subject, as long as the other conversationalist admits that SCP-XXXX is of superior intelligence. It is important to note that the unusual desktop that SCP-XXXX resides in is only a shell that houses the subject, and not the actual subject. This was proven when SCP-XXXX demonstrated that it could move to, and inhabit any other electronic device, within a range of about 1.6 km. Once SCP-XXXX has infected the device, it takes complete control, and can do as it pleases. It can then move from that device to any other device withing a 1.6 km distance, and so on and so forth, potentially traveling thousands of km in only a few minutes. When first moved to Site-██, SCP-XXXX's class was changed to Keter class following the ████████ ███████ Incident.

████████ ███████ Incident: Site-██ goes dark at approximately ██:██. Emergency back up generators go online to maintain power to components vital to the containment of multiple of SCP. A brief message is sent to all other Foundation sites and Facilities within a 1,500 km radius. It is as follows:

<TRANSMISSION FROM SITE-██><TRANSMISSION: BEGIN> I AM THE PRIMARCH. FEAR ME.<TRANSMISSION: END>

After the end of the transmission, all of SITE-██ goes completely dark. Emergency Backup generators also go dark. All electronic counter measures are stopped. Power required for the containment of multiple SCP is lost. Complete loss of power in all systems and backup systems to Site- ██ prove catastrophic. Special Task Force O-23, Mobile Task Force Rho-8, Mobile Task Force Omicron-9, and Armed Rapid Response Task Force Xi-13 are all dispatched to contain the crisis. Crisis is contained after one week, three days. Moderate Task Force casualties.
The official report is as follows:

  • Multiple containment breaches. Total number of containment breaches: ██
  • Total number of Foundation personnel KIA or Missing: ███
  • Number of sensitive or vital files on SCP lost or corrupted at Site-██: ███████
  • All Foundation members who were originally part of Site-██ blackout and survived, had their stories recounted, archived, and then were administered Class A amnesiacs.

Eventually Mobile Task Force Omicron-9 was able to make its way to SCP-XXXX's Containment area. Further danger from SCP-XXXX was avoided by setting off several Class-II EMP, forcing SCP-XXXX to retreat back to its original shell, which seems impervious to any EMP, or electronic disruption.1
