Description: SCP-3796 is a 7-inch 45 single by American soul 
group The Bees (consisting of Ossie Floriston, Sam Brooks, Jamal 
Jones, and Richard Denton), and released by St. Louis based label 
Troubadour Records. No record of this group or this label has ever 
existed, however all personnel involved (studio musicians, 
songwriters, back-up musicians, producers, label executives, and 
The Bees themselves) have proven to be real individuals, who 
remember their time creating SCP-3796. The A-side of SCP-3796 
contains a song called "The Time | Spent With All of You", written by 
Isaac McClintock and Ben Green. The B-side contains a song called 
"Tomorrows", written by McClintock, Green and an individual named 
Beckett Beebe, who has not been identified. Both songs are non- 
anomalous, consisting of standard, slow soul ballads popular at the 
time it was released (1966). The songs can be copied and listened 
to successfully without contributing to SCP-3796-1. 


The physical record aspect of SCP-3796 is home to a highly 
aggressive Class VII noncorporeal, ideatic, noosphere-based 
sapient personality matrix’. It is designated SCP-3796-1. According 
to analysis via Tolstoy Loss Rate algorithms derived from 
SCP-3045, observing and quantifying the memetic output of 
SCP-3796-1 indicates that unlike similar personality matrices found 
in non-anomalous objects, SCP-3796-1 is extremely complex, 
consisting of over 300 personality fragments corresponding to real 
world individuals. Testing with SCP-3796 shows that SCP-3796-1 
grows via simple touch or listening.2 The sheer number of fragments 
comprising SCP-3796-1 and the level of noogenesis present within 


SCP-3796 indicates that it is the largest personality matrix ever 
recorded, and probably the most psychically active as well. The 
behavior of SCP-3796 is somewhat apian in nature, although this is 
not always the case. 


Analysis of SCP-3796-1, via introduction of D-Class personnel, 
indicates that most fragments within SCP-3796-1 correspond to type 
consistent with the audience for the record. The oldest fragments 
seem to be African-American teenagers from the 1960s. Gradually 
the newest and newest fragments correspond to Radio Dus, 
listeners within the broadcast radius, record shop owners, 
distributors, soul fans outside the original demographic, antique 
shop owners, and so forth. The head researchers for SCP-3796 
theorize that the effect is spread to all extant copies of the record, as 
so to account for the large number of fragments for one single. This 
would be cause to track down and recall these copies, however the 
only additions to the matrix have originated with SCP-3796, and no 
other copies of the single have been identified or recovered, despite 
public memories indicating otherwise. 


There are several fragments within SCP-3796-1 that do not match 
up with the usual patterns of contribution, all of which exist towards 
the very bottom of the matrix. They include two white supremacists 
formerly belonging to the Ku Klux Klan, a group of five Kyrgyzstani 
alchemists, and a single common Western honey bee (Apis 
mellifera). Save for the five alchemists, the white supremacists and 
the bee could not be identified, and all evidence points to them not 
existing. It is unknown what personalities exist at the exact bottom of 
the matrix. Although it is theorized to be personnel related to the 
production of SCP-3796, this cannot be measured or proven due to 
the large ideatic weight of SCP-3796-1 preventing accurate analysis. 


Although at points the mass of fragments swarm in a typically apian 
fashion towards a central gestalt consciousness, the apparent 
constant and large pain that the fragments express prevents this 
from happening in total. In as such, SCP-3796-1 is constantly in flux, 
and will occasionally lash out to nearby attack mental bystanders 
and attempt to convert a segment of their noospheroid based level 
consciousness into itself, thereby subjecting a fragment of the 
bystander's overall consciousness to the same pain that they 


express. The person is typically left unharmed save for some 
discomfort during this process, and a general inability to remember 
the past two hours. This can be abated with a small mnestic 
regimen. 


Addendum: 


(D-345688 was introduced to SCP-3796's containment 
safe and ordered to interact with it in order to ascertain 
the nature of the SCP-3796-1 fragments state. A record 
player was provided. The safe and record player were 
moved to a testing chamber.) 


D-345688: Alright, so I've opened the safe. Is this the 
record I'm supposed to play? 


Dr. Tudorsmith: That is correct. Please proceed. 
D-345688: Fair enough, I've seen worse. 


(D-345688 picks up SCP-3796 and begins to mentally 
interact with SCP-3796. He halts for a second following 
the removal.) 


Dr. Tudorsmith: Are you okay? 


D-345688: No. I'm fine. | just got a headache. Like a rush 
to my brain like | just stood up too fast. I'm fine. 


(D-345688 moves haltingly to put SCP-3796 on to the 
record player. After putting the needle down, he moves 
back hesitantly. "The Time | Spent With All of You" 
begins to play.) 


D-345688: Not bad actually. | actually was expecting 
worse. Not a fan of soul music, actually. 


(D-345688 seizes up, then begins to vocalize quickly and 
seemingly at random, switching voices and accents.) 


D-345688: No. I'm fine. | just got a headache. No. I'm 
fine. No. No. No. We're reaching an Omega Point. 


Momma, but | love this kind of music! No, no wait it's 
entering this reality. | just got a headache. And that was 
"Tomorrows" by The Bees. Great band, lotta good stuff. 
Very cheap. Alright The Bees, good band. I'll give you a 
good price on this. No. Elijah, listen to this! We're coming 
together, and pulling apart. Y'all didn't erase it entirely it 
seems! Serve the queen. Fight the other hive. Fight the 
other hive before it destroys us. It hurts, so much. | can't 
breathe. No. | need y'all to do something to this here 
[SLUR REDACTED] album. Can y'all manage? No. No. 
Everything in my body is on fire! We are the gestalt. We'll 
meet in the Klavern. We are the Omega Point. The 
singularity. This will destroy the record label totally. God, 
those lyrics. A-one, A-two, A-one, two, three, four. Hit 
that guitar Reggie! (D-345688 begins to scream.) 


(D-345688 slumps to the ground briefly before opening 
his eyes.) 


D-345688: Where am |? Dr. Tudorsmith? 


Footnotes 

1. Simply put, an angry, thought-based psychic spirit composed of 
multiple consciousness. It functions somewhat similarly to the 
concept ofkamiin Shintoism. 

2. In anon-anomalous record, the personality matrix, or psychic 
attachment, would be inert and nonsapient, added to only by the 
individual self-designated as the owner. In the case of SCP-3796-1, 
broadcasting the songs within SCP-3796 across the radio would be 
enough to grow SCP-3796. 


SCP-3797: The Once and Future Gun 


Item #: SCP-3797 
Object Class: Thaumiel 
Threat Level: White O 


Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-3797 does not yet 
exist, it does not require containment. 


The Temporal Anomalies Department is to build SCP-3797. They 
are permitted to use other SCP objects and temporal anomalies in 
this process, with O5 approval. 


Once SCP-3797 has been constructed, it is to be used once, in 
order to terminate SCP-3797-ARC on 0742 UTC 06/13/2015. It is 
then to be dismantled. 


Description: SCP-3797 will be a retrocausal weapon capable of 
terminating a target at a date in the relative past of activation. 
SCP-3797 will be used at least one time, at an indeterminate date in 
the future, to terminate SCP-3797-ARC at 0742 UTC 06/13/2015. It 
is currently unknown how SCP-3797 will function. 


SCP-3797-ARC was an apex-tier pluripotent entity. SCP-3797-ARC 
possessed near-omniscience, but did not possess precognitive 
abilities. For more information gathered from SCP-3797-ARC's 
dormant state, see SCP-3797-ARC's main file. 


At 0739 UTC 06/13/2015, SCP-3797-ARC awakened, as predicted, 
and began to initiate a CK-Class Restructuring Scenario. 
Termination was authorized in order to prevent such an event. MTF 
Omega-9 ("The Scrubs") and MTF Omega-12 ("Achilles Heels") 
attempted to terminate SCP-3797-ARC, but all such efforts were 
prevented by SCP-3797-ARC's reality-altering capabilities. 


strange about the park at all? Were there any others like 
you? 

SCP-492: Well, | really didn't have that much reason to 
go back into the park. It felt like I'd wasted years of life 
there, you know? 

Dr. : That's a perfectly understandable feeling. 
SCP-492: Yeah, and the guys in the dinosaur ride kept 
trying to eat me.

The insignia of the 
Temporal 


Anomalies 
Department. 


At 0742 UTC 06/13/2015, several hundred instances of the 
Temporal Anomalies Department insignia appeared upon 
SCP-3797-ARC. Five seconds later, all of SCP-3797-ARC's flesh 
disintegrated. 72 further instances of the Temporal Anomalies 
Department insignia were discovered on the ground surrounding the 
previous location of SCP-3797-ARC. 


At this time, sensors employed by the Temporal Anomalies 
Department detected a high-energy temporal displacement 
originating from the future. 


The current prediction of future events is that the Temporal 
Anomalies Department will have been able to neutralize SCP-3797- 
ARC by placing the cause of its death after its death, preventing it 
from knowing of its termination and using its anomalous capabilities 
to prevent such an event. 


SCP-3798: There Are Flowers There 


Item #: SCP-3798 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3798 is to be kept in a 
standard containment cell and left on at all times. A single camera is 
to be placed 1.5 meters in front of SCP-3798’s screen to monitor for 
any changes in the contents of SCP-3798. A microwave receiver is 
to be placed adjacent to SCP-3798; all signals received are to be 
digitally stored and copied, with copies of short-timeframe signals 
translated into the ISO basic Latin alphabet from standard Morse 
code. 


Description: SCP-3798 is a 1990s-era TV set with a VHS player 
containing a single tape of 1998’s Baby Mozart: Music Festival 
children’s educational film. SCP-3798 does not play any other films 
inserted in its player, and furthermore does not play the original 
contents of the tape; the tape has been proven to play normally in 
control tests. SCP-3798’s anomalous effects do not occur if a 
different version of the same tape is inserted; like other tapes, it will 
simply not play. 


SCP-3798’s anomalous effects only occur when the original Baby 
Mozart tape is inserted and the set is turned on. At this point, a black 
screen will be displayed which is occasionally interrupted by still 
images which appear to be from the tape, though some images 
have appeared which do not seem to originate from any version of 
Baby Mozart. SCP-3798 will also occasionally emit bursts of 
microwave radiation at a frequency of 1420.406 MHz.! These 
emissions have only been detected while a still image is displayed 
on SCP-3798. 


The source of the emissions of radiation by SCP-3798 appears to be 
an undefined two-dimensional space that exists between the front 
plate glass and the dielectric layer of the TV set. This space only 


appears when the aforementioned conditions have been met. The 
source of this space is unclear, and it appears unresponsive to 
stimuli. Signals emitted by SCP-3798 are relayed in short bursts of 
0.25 seconds and 1.02 seconds, which together correspond to 
letters and numbers in Morse code (0.25-second signal representing 
“dots” and 1.02-second signals representing “dashes”). In short 
timeframes, these codes have been shown to translate to English 
language sentences. 


A full transcript of images displayed and text received from 
SCP-3798 is listed in Addendum I.
