Item #: SCP-YYYY
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-YYYY is to be contained in Site-3█ in a double-locked brick or concrete cell with dimensions of 8 x 4 x 2.5 meters. One guard is to be stationed outside of SCP-YYYY’s cell at all times on an 8-hour rotation basis. Standard live-streaming security cameras with two-way microphones installed are to be established within SCP-YYYY’s cell, and all activity that strives from the norm is to be reported to any available Level 3 personnel immediately.
Description: SCP-YYYY is a red brick block (designated SCP-YYYY-2 after its notability was discovered thanks to Experiment Log YYYY-e-3) with dimensions 2 x 1 x 1.5 meters, which has been removed during retrieval from its original position outside ██████ Apartments, Somerset, England. Installed on it is a basic intercom, designated SCP-YYYY-1. It was investigated after reports of a string of unexplainable deaths throughout the area, which appeared to be linked to ██████ Apartments. No mark of make or model is apparent on SCP-YYYY-1. It appears to have electronics that are to be expected of a regular intercom.
Most D-Class personnel, eyewitness accounts from ██████ Apartments and other humans who attempt to utilise SCP-YYYY-1 (even after removal from ██████ Apartments) will report strange noises, which allegedly resemble voices unlike any they had previously heard (although they were noticeably human). However, recording devices have found no such audio (for detailed accounts, see Experiment Logs designated YYYY-e-1 through 3). If a subject who has attempted to use SCP-YYYY-1 does report these voices, there is approximately a two in three chance of them disappearing between two and five days after using SCP-YYYY-1, often with blood, [REDACTED] and other signs of struggle or [REDACTED] in the area assumed to be their last position before vanishing, whilst they show no anomalous behaviour beforehand. Installing surveillance technologies such as cameras or guards causes the surveillance technologies to register a blank period surrounding the effected individual’s disappearance, and living forms of surveillance fall unconscious with no memory of any attempts at abduction, whilst reporting a slight headache.
Experiment logs:
[0:00] [Test begins. D-9381, a 36-year old lightly bronzed male of small build and with no notable mental features has been chosen as a test subject to find possible results of interaction with SCP-YYYY.]
[0:03] [D-9381 wanders around SCP-YYYY-2, observing it closely and with noticeable uncertainty and anxiety.]
[0:07] Dr. █████: D-9381, please approach SCP-YYYY
[0:07] [D-9381 moves towards SCP-YYYY-1]
[0:08] D-9381: What do I do?
[0:08] Dr. █████: Interact with SCP-YYYY-1 in a logical and harmless manner
[0:09] [D-9381 moves cautiously towards SCP-YYYY-1, pauses, and presses a button on the intercom]
[0:09] D-9381: This isn’t connected to anything, is it?
[0:09] Dr. █████: Negative. It has been removed from its original position and—
[0:09] D-9381: Hey, I was at the goddamn brief, I know what I’m looking at. It’s just…[pause]
[0:09] Dr. █████: D-9381, please elaborate.
[0:09] D-9381: Voices. They’re coming from it. But I can’t really hear them, they’re in my head but not in my ears. You hear anything?
[0:09] Dr. █████: No audio has been noticed by our recording devices and any possible psychic signals could not penetrate far enough to reach us.
[0:10] D-9381: Psychic? You think it’s psychic? I know I’m not psychic. That brain magic entrance exam wasn’t as wack as I thought, huh…
[0:10] Dr. █████: D-9381, please focus and memorise anything you hear that seems to emanate from SCP-YYYY-1.
[0:10] [Test continues as normal, with no noticeable remarks from D-9381, who appears to be entirely focused on memorising SCP-YYYY-1’s dialogue.]
[0:13] [D-9381 states that dialogue has stopped entirely.]
[0:14] [Test ends. D-9381 is ordered to leave. Post-test screening shows no anomalous signs.]
After Experiment YYYY-e-1, D-9381 was lead to [REDACTED] to recite SCP-YYYY-1’s remarks. Below are the results:
What do you think you’re doing? Don’t you know? Know what I do? Surely you do, surely somebody knows. There’s nothing else you need to know. There’s no hope now. I can’t control it, it just kills, it takes them, puts them away…I thought you idiots meant good. That you were going to lock me away never to be found. To protect people. PROTECT. You should protect. Why don’t you protect? I told you. I can’t help. Nobody can help. I’m here to warn, but my warnings kill. Nothing I can do, no point, no hope. I’m sorry. Don’t fight. I’m sorry.
D-9381 vanished 3 days later, leaving behind only a small pool of blood and a chunk of flesh believed to be from the front of his neck in his dormitory. All camera records from [REDACTED] were blank.
[A small number of experiments with SCP-YYYY took place between these two logs, with similar consequences to YYYY-e-1 and no notable occurrences. If you wish for a transcript of any of these tests, please contact Archive Manager ███████.]
[0:00] [Test begins. D-7235, a 39-year old Caucasian male of average build, only notable features being a low IQ and a Conceded Pass in the [DATA EXPUNGED] Entrance Exams, especially in sections testing logic and Trans-Mental Thought Processing, has been chosen to take part in another of a series of tests on SCP-YYYY.]
[0:01] [D-7235 stands still, apparently uncertain of what do.]
[0:02] Dr. █████: D-7235, please approach SCP-YYYY.
[0:02] [D-7235 walks towards SCP-YYYY-1, and stands motionless in front of it.]
[0:03] D-7235: It’s one of those phone thingies, for talking with people, but not actually a phone. What’s it meant to do? Is it connected to you?
[0:03] Dr. █████: Negative. As for what it does, that’s what the purpose of these tests is. Please interact with SCP-YYYY-1 in any way you find logic—erm…in whatever way you think makes sense.
[0:04] [D-7235 pushes one of the buttons on SCP-YYYY-1 and pauses.]
[0:04] Dr. █████: Please report any audible substances you hear and memorise them.
[0:04] D-7235: Noises? I don’t hear anything.
[0:04] Dr. █████: You…really? D-7235, confirm, you are absolutely positive that you hear nothing.
[0:05] D-7235: Yup. Nothing at all.
[0:05] Dr. █████: Will somebody [inaudible]…hold on…
[0:05] [Furious writing and quiet conversation heard on Observation end of communication feed.]
[0:06] Dr. █████: D-7235, the test will continue for 5 minutes. Please report any abnormalities you feel or notice.
[0:06] D-7235: 5 minutes? Really?
[0:06] [Test continues as normal. D-7235 shows boredom for rest of test, reports no further voices throughout or any anomalous activities for that matter.]
[0:11] [Test ends. D-7235 is ordered to leave. Post-test screening shows no anomalous signs.]
As D-7235 did not report voices, as is usually expected of subjects shown to SCP-YYYY, no other logs are available for SCP-YYYY-e-2. D-7235 displayed no effects of SCP-YYYY at any time after test, and further testing with other low-IQ D-class proved this to be a consistent trend.
[A small amount of experiments on low-IQ individuals as mentioned in YYYY-e-2, as well as others on individuals of regular intellect, took place in this event slot.]
[0:00] [Test begins. D-6922, a 27-year old Caucasian female of average build and with no notable mental or physical features, has been chosen as a participant in one of the final experiments involving SCP-YYYY.]
[0:01] [D-6922 walks towards SCP-YYYY-1]
[0:01] D-6922: I push a button and listen, right?
[0:01] Dr. █████: Correct. As explained in the de-briefing, report any voices heard during testing.
[0:02] D-6922: Yeah, I hear something. But it’s more like it’s not coming through my ears, but…wait this was already covered. Psychic signals?
[0:02] Dr. █████: That is correct.
[0:02] [Test continues as according to most previous tests, with D-6922 silently noting voices emanating from SCP-YYYY-1.]
[0:04] D-6922: I hear something sort of different.
[0:04] Dr. █████: D-6922, please elaborate.
[0:04] D-6922: Well, it’s not a voice, that’s for sure, and also I can actually hear it. Like, it's definitely not psychic. But that means if it’s not psychic, you can hear it too, right?
[0:04] Dr. █████: I… [very minute knocking becomes audible on test end of feed] yes, yes, we have a signal on it. It’s being recorded.
[0:04] [Knocking continues for two minutes, occasionally loudening slightly to resemble banging of arms against brick. D-6922 and Dr. █████ remain silent for this time period.]
[0:06] [Knocking ceases.]
[0:07] [Human shouts for help are heard from within SCP-YYYY-2.]
[0:07] D-6922: Somebody’s in there. Someone’s in there! You have to get them out!
[0:07] Dr. █████: D-6922, the test must continue so that dialogue can be—
[0:07] D-6922: It’s stopped already, there’s nothing more to hear, you just need to save that person!
[0:08] Dr. █████: Please elab—
[0:08] D-6922: The voices have stopped! It doesn’t matter, just get them out of there!
[0:08] [Test ends. D-6922 is ordered to leave, though she does so reluctantly, apparently wishing to discover source of voices. Post-test screening shows no anomalous signs, despite high distress caused by shouts from SCP-YYYY-2.]
After the conclusion of YYYY-e-3, [REDACTED] was sent into SCP-YYYY’s holding chamber in order to find the source of the shouts. By the time they had entered the chamber, all noises from SCP-YYYY had ceased. After a standard low-level brick excavation was enacted on SCP-YYYY-2, the team discovered the body of D-████, who disappeared after the previous experiment, with [DATA EXPUNGED] matching exactly the [DATA EXPUNGED] found in his dormitory.
These details were hidden from D-6922 in an attempt to retain her mental state, successfully. She expressed no signs of an influence of SCP-YYYY, and further testing showed this was unrelated to the discovery of D-████.
The log of SCP-YYYY’s dialogue according to D-6922 is as follows:
Now you’ve done it. NOW YOU’VE [EXPLETIVE DELETED] DONE IT. You idiots, you morons, for GOD’S sake WHAT ELSE MUST YOU KNOW! You—Oh…oh….he made it? He…survived? Well, this is new. Even I’m surprised. Well, just listen. I SAID LISTEN. No, not to me…he’s alive…not for long, but now you’ll realise. I hope.
[A small number of tests took place in this event slot.]
Addendum: All tests involving SCP-YYYY have ceased. Attempts to reinstate testing involving SCP-YYYY are to be negotiated with Site Manager ███████. And due to its fatal nature only occurring when provoked, requests to classify SCP-YYYY as Euclid or Keter have been rejected.
