Possible SCP's

rating: 0+x

SCP Class:Euclid

Description: Electric Guitar- Neck cut from Prometheus tree remains in 1964 near Great Basin National Park in Baker,Nevada. Tree was one of the oldest in the continental U.S. age determined at 4,862 years of age. Body made of Korina, Black wood originating from Africa. Attempts to retrieve dating of the instruments body has turned up inconclusive.

Guitar stings found to contain strands of human vocal chords, hair, and keratin possibly stripped bare, stretched and treated in olive oil and hemoglobin. Similar to the production of catgut strings.

Containment: Contained in a cool room at a temperature of 20.5°. To be kept in a 4m x 4m cell surrounded by soundproof glass, separated from a concrete structure surrounding the cell. Personnel are not permitted to touch the glass itself due to possible transfer of vibrations from the detained to prevent any unnecessary casualties. Object is to remain lain upon a pillow on a steel table to prevent vibrations from reaching into the floor. After experimentation has concluded, Foundation personnel are to attend to cleaning the object with the proper vibration and sound proofed suit.

Procedures: SCP-XXXX is only to be directly attended by Class D personnel as normal personnel will be affected by the direct vibrations coming into contact with the human nervous system. Subject will begin to play guitar with surprising skill despite having no prior experience in life playing the instrument. Assumed to be caused by enhancement of certain brain functions to recall moments of seeing a guitar playing the past along with memories of classical/rock music. Individuals with prior guitar playing history maintain the same unusually skilled experience with the instrument as those that do not. Subject will continue to play until capillaries in the fingers burst. Subject may become violent and attempt varying levels of violence to accomplish the songs completion. It is currently unclear as to when the subject will cease playing without removal from the instrument by force. (See Report SCP-XXXX-06) After ██ class D subjects continuous failure to return to regular cognitive functions the SCP was deemed unsafe for personnel. After a subject becomes enamored with the object, other personnel or D class participants will be unaffected by the nature of SCP-XXXX. After Dr. █████ noticed that no two versions of the song are covered are completely similar, he uncovered the similar notes as a form of Morse code. Upon copious research, Dr. █████ found that the code differed with every individual oft deciphering as a cry for assistance and confusion. Class D personnel show no signs of being able to decode the message or are even aware that they have interlaced it with their music. Strings of the instrument were found to constantly send minor tones throughout the area, drawing individuals to the object audibly, soundproof ear protection will not work should an individual touch the object or stationary objects within its vicinity. This causes an individual to discard the protection and immediately attempt to play the guitar itself. After conversing with the object through several D class tests, Dr. █████ found the object to be at least partially sentient. Upon this discovery, Object was reclassified as Eucalid.

Autopsy: All Victims found to have severe swelling of the left parietal, and front cortex along with the right cerebellum all in charge of rhythm in the human brain. Along with a complete disruption of the limbic system found below the cerebral cortex in charge of self preservation. Cerebrum found to be in a state of decay causing majorly decreased deductive reasoning.

Results:Several of the victims were capable of rudimentary speech after removal from the object for an extensive period of time. For the foreseeable future, the affects that the object has on the brain is permanent. Several benefits involving hand-eye coordination, excellent balance, precision aiming, enhanced auditory input and occasional optic strengthening have occurred with the survivor's of the interactions. Though, the speech and cognitive thinking portions of the brain suffer worse traumas after extensive prolonged use. It may be possible to have an individual play the instrument for several minutes and be forcibly removed resulting in minor benefits. Results have varied wildly. Dr. Nguyen has theorized that the individual strings (6) on the guitar actually enlarge different areas of the brain separate from the others. (See Report SCP-XXX-12)

Discovery: Found in the possession of a successful business man turned recluse named ██████ ████████ on 11/2█/197█. Subject traveled the world abroad until 1964 near Las Vegas, Nevada. After disappearance, subjects last known sighting outside his residence in New York 19██. Subject was found supine in his residence with the guitar still placed in his hands in an emaciated state. Morgue attendant found his fingers to be severely burned and raw to the point of completely missing the epidermis on the outer layer of his fingers on his left and right hands. Death was ruled as a combination of dehydration and starvation. Upon subjects death, all remaining items were sold at auction due to the ██████'s lack of known relatives. After a similar incident occurred with the next owner after winning the guitar at an auction, the Foundation deemed it necessary to retrieve the item. After the works of Dr. ██████, it remains inconclusive as to the nature of the object or if it controls it's victims prior to their demise. Further Analysis needed.

Further experimentation yielded unbalanced results. Dr. ██████ removed from project due to ongoing obsession with discovering the secrets behind the unnatural occurrences surrounding SCP-XXXX. Dr. Nguyen placed in charge of the project.
