SCP-3321 before containment

Item #: SCP-3321

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3321 is contained in a sound-proofed object containment locker when not being tested. At least one microphone must be placed no farther than 8 cm away from SCP-3321 at all times. When SCP-3321 is to be examined, military grade ear protection must be worn unless other procedure is requested. Currently, SCP-3321 is kept in a level 2 container at Site-19.

Description: SCP-3321 is a █████████ brand electronic toothbrush. SCP-3321 does not require a known power source to function. Upon closer inspection, SCP-3321 is made of an unknown material, as samples have yet to be tested. Researchers assume it must be a hefty substance, as it has proved to withstand massive volumes of sound. SCP-3321 has been observed to turn on by itself when there are no personnel in its presence. However, whenever testing is underway, SCP-3321 has only been observed to activate when used by subjects. (Except for one incident) Upon activation, SCP-3321 begins to vibrate, producing sounds of up to 172 dB. Despite SCP-3321's sentience¹, it cannot move in any way, shape, or form. As of now, there have been no reported fatalities due to SCP-3321. SCP-3321 is now considered dangerous, and should not be interacted with unless proper protocol is followed.

Notice: SCP-3321 audio and testing tapes can only be accessed by official personnel by ███████ ██ ██ ████ ████ at Site 19, unless publicly released.

Testing: SCP-3321 has been found to be extremely lethal due to the multiple accounts of subjects dying after coming in contact with SCP-3321. Testing found that in normal conditions, more than 3-5 seconds of exposure to SCP-3321 in its activated state will usually lead to death.

+ Detailed Testing Logs

Test A - ██/4/██17

Test Subject(s): N/A
Test Description: SCP-3321 is to be disassembled for research and analysis purposes.
Test Events: While Dr. ███████ was beginning to "dissect" SCP-3321, against normal behavior, SCP-3221 activated autonomously whilst in the presence of site personnel. At this time, SCP-3321 reached its record high volumes, peaking at 204 dB. SCP-3231 stayed in this state for approximately 30 seconds. Almost immediately, Dr. ███████ collapsed. Upon closer inspection, the increased air pressure due to the sound caused the doctor's lungs to burst. The continued exposure to the sound eventually caused 3 of Dr. ███████'s limbs to become dislocated, and 1, his left foot, was shaken completely off of his body. Dr. ███████ died from a lack of oxygen and blunt force trauma only a few seconds after the SCP-3321 activated.
Comments: Personnel are not to attempt to disassemble SCP-3321, as this is the most probable reason for SCP-3231's "raged" state. It is now believed that SCP-3321 could be sentient, and more testing needs to be conducted to determine this.

Test B - ██/6/██17

Test Subject(s): D-8367
Test Description: SCP-3321's lethality is to be tested under normal conditions.
Test Events: D-8367 approached SCP-3321 and turned it on. SCP-3321 immediately began emanating an extremely loud vibration sound which in a matter of seconds, led to the apparent loss of consciousness of D-8367. After approximately 30 seconds, SCP-3321 de-activated itself and D-8367 was taken to the medical bay. During an autopsy, it was found that D-8367 died from an air embolism².
Comments: It appears as if SCP-3321 produces mildly high frequency, immensely high volume sounds under any conditions. SCP-3321 has never produced a sound with a higher volume than 172 dB (one-hundred-seventy-two decibels). SCP-3321 has also never produced a sound at any less volume. The only instance in which SCP-3321 produced any volume higher than this was the "Test-A" incident.

Test C - ██/6/██17

Test Subject(s): D-4492
Test Description: SCP-3321's lethality is to be re-tested for updated research.
Test Events: D-4492 activated SCP-3321 and was treated the exact same way as D-8367. D-4492 collapsed to the ground in pain, moaning inaudibly. D-4492 then covered his ears with his hands, and SCP-3321 de-activated itself after approximately 30 seconds again. By this time, D-4492 had stopped moving. Upon being brought into a medical bay, it was found that D-4492 was not dead, and needed a few days to recover.
Comments: It is unbelievable that D-4492 (Now E-4492) did not die like the latter subject. It is probable that D-4492 had hearing issues prior to coming in contact with SCP-3321. An interview must be conducted as soon as E-4492 shows any signs of consciousness.

Test D - ██/6/██17

Test Subject(s): N/A
Test Description: Personnel are to attempt to communicate with SCP-3321.
Test Events: A transcript of the events of this testing can be found below, under "Interviews."
Comments: Because of the believed possible response to the personnel's questions and the interview with E-4492, SCP-3321 is now to be labeled as sentient.

Interviews

+ Interview Transcripts

Interviewed: Lisa ███████

Interviewer: ████ █████████

Foreword: Lisa ███████ claims that her husband had no medical issues prior to working at the facility. It is believed that Dr. ███████ died solely from SCP-3321.

<Begin Log>

Interviewer: Hello, Mrs. ███████.

Mrs. ███████: Hi, it's nice to see you again, ████.

Interviewer: I'm glad. Although, we aren't just here for chit-chat. I must also ask that you call me by my professional name while we're at the facility.

Mrs. ███████: Oh, I see. Official work business, I presume. Well… What's the reason for calling me here, Mr. █████████?

Interviewer: I have a few questions about your husband.

Mrs. ███████: Of course. Couldn't you have just asked him, though?

Interviewer: Let's start. Do you know if your husband had any existing medical conditions prior to working here at the facility?

Mrs. ███████: Hmmm… Not that I can think of. I mean, he was allergic to peanut butter. But aside from that, I can't think of anything else.

Interviewer: Alright, thank you. Now, on to our next inquiry. Has your husband ever complained about chest pain of any kind?

Mrs. ███████: Now that you mention it, he used to get heart burn.

Interviewer: Interesting. Ok, last question… Did your husband ever claim to have sensitive hearing?

Mrs. ███████: No. Actually, I believe he had exceptional hearing. Not "sensitive," but as in good health.

Interviewer: Thank you for your time, Mrs. ███████.

Mrs. ███████: Any time!

[A click is heard]

Interviewer: Listen Lisa, ███ died. I turned the recording off, so that I could tell you this. I couldn't not tell you. When you leave, I need you to act like I never told you this.

Mrs. ███████: [yelling] What?! What do you mean he's dead?! You want me to act as if I wasn't just told my husband is dead?!

Interviewer: Please, my job… Hell! My life could be on the line!

*Mrs. ███████:** Fine, I'll do my best… But… you need to explain more later!

Interviewer: Of course! Thank you so much, Lisa.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: Dr. █████████ was terminated promptly after this tape was reviewed by site authorities. It was determined that Dr. ███████ died only from SCP-3321.

Interviewed: E-4492

Interviewer: ███ ████

Foreword: E-4492 claims that SCP-3321 spoke to him.

<Begin Log>

Interviewer: Hello, E-4492.

E-4492: So that's what you shrinks call me…

Interviewer: Hmmm… [pauses] I prefer the term, doctors.

E-4492: Ok. I'll let you know when I give a shit.

Interviewer: [clears throat] Now, what can you tell me about SCP-3321?

E-4492: Who the hell do you think I am? They don't tell me which one it is.

Interviewer: The most recent one you were exposed to… [pauses] The one that put you in the medical bay.

E-4492: That fucker… Yeah. [pauses] What do you want me to tell you? It yelled at me to stop killing it. Don't tell me you didn't hear it… The little shit was loud as hell.

Interviewer: It [pauses] spoke to you?

E-4492: Yeah… It told me I was killing it.

Interviewer: That's incredible!

E-4492: Can't some of the other ones talk?

Interviewer: Yes… But… This… This is incredible! If it spoke, it truly is sentient!

E-4492: Sure… Can I go back to my "cell?"

Interviewer: Hmm… Considering that you have provided us with beneficial information, I assume you may.

E-4492: Thank God… This is getting boring.

Interviewer: You may now leave.

[A chair is heard scraping on the floor and footsteps are heard exiting the room.]

Interviewer: Let it be official that SCP-3321 is now to be identified as a sentient entity.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: It was later discovered that E-4492 had hearing problems prior to being exposed to SCP-3321. This is most likely why they survived exposure.

Interviewed: SCP-3321

Interviewer: ███ ████

Foreword: SCP-3321 shows a somewhat sign of attempted communication.

<Begin Log>

Interviewer: Greetings, SCP-3321. If you could give me a sign that you understand me, that would be optimal.

[A slow, quiet buzzing is heard]

Interviewer: I see… Why do you feel this way?

[Another low buzzing is heard]

Interviewer: [clears throat] I can assure you that we do care for your safety. Now why is it that you have killed two of our personnel?

[A slightly louder buzzing is heard]

Interviewer: What do you mean, killing you?

[More buzzing]

Interviewer: I understand this. You have already stated that they were killing you. Would you mind elaborating?

[Louder buzzing]

Interviewer: Ah, I see. Whenever you are turned on, your life span decreases?

[A quieter buzzing is heard]

Interviewer: I understand. I can sympathize. Is there anything else you would like to say before I leave?

[Silence]

Interviewer: Very well… Thank you for your time.

[Footsteps are heard exiting the room, and a door is closed and locked.]

<End Log>

Closing Statement: SCP-3321 appears to have made contact with ███ ████. Based on his responses, we may not need to interview him as well. It also appears that SCP-3321 can only communicate with those that are with it in person. Another factor as to why personnel cannot hear recognizable phrases from SCP-3321 in this recording may be the fact that SCP-3321 has the ability to choose who understands it.
