though | think the eggheads here wouldn't describe a 
career in bank robbery as "interesting". Thank you for 
telling me this, though. | never knew much about him. 


(01:30) SCP-1880-1: This is my duty, my dear, and one | 
am happy to perform. What use is a Mouth that does not 
speak? 


(01:30) D-1880-63: Eating? 


(01:30) SCP-1880-1: Information is my food, and | hate 
to see others starve for it while | have so much. Themis 
will tell you the same, but he was never interested in the 
spreading of knowledge, only in hoarding it. 


(01:30) D-1880-63: Themis? 


(01:30) SCP-1880-1: It is of little consequence for you, 
my dear. Come, let us continue. Would you like to hear 


about your grandfather? 
<End Log> 


Closing statement: Subject D-1880-63's hair turned 
grey after the conversation ended. The subject 
expressed an interest in further conversing with 
SCP-1880-1, and described their conversation as 
"enlightening".

Subject: D-1880-71 
Supervisor: Dr. Shaw 


Total length of conversation: 01:50 minutes (one 
minute and fifty seconds). 


Foreword: Subject D-1880-71 has proved very 
cooperative to Foundation personnel's orders prior to the 
conversation with SCP-1880-1, despite his violent 
record. 


<Begin Log> 


D-1880-71: [to Dr. Shaw] This is a real nice gem, Doc. 
Pretty. 


SCP-1880-1: Ah, but not as pretty as she was. 
D-1880-71: Wha- What are you talking about? 


SCP-1880-1: Come now, no need to act so coy. You 
know what you did, and you relish it still. You think about 
it every night before you go to sleep. 


D-1880-71: Shut up! You don't know anything about me! 


SCP-1880-1: Oh, but | do. | have seen you do it, seen 
you caught, seen your trial, and how you were brought 
here. | am the Eye, Mr. , nothing is hidden from me. 


D-1880-71: How do you know my name!? 


SCP-1880-1: She screamed when you did it, and you 
enjoyed that. When you told the press you regretted 
what you did, you lied. You would do it again if you were 
ever given the chance. But, that is irrelevant, you will not 
leave this facility alive. Goodbye, Mr. 


<Connection Terminated> 


Closing statement: Subject D-1880-71 eye color 
changed from blue to green following this conversation. 
The subject had to be physically restrained in order to 
keep him from damaging SCP-1880. 


Addendum 1880-B: During the last recorded conversation with 
SCP-1880-1, it displayed previously unseen abilities to completely 
control the subject using SCP-1880, as well as additional 
unexpected capabilities (see Incident Report SCP-1880-C). Due to 
these recent developments, all experimentation on SCP-1880 has 
been suspended by order of O5-Command. 


Show Incident Report SCP-1880-C 


On //_ , during a conversation with SCP-1880-1, 
subject D-1880-82 suddenly entered a catatonic state for 
ten (10) seconds. Upon awakening from this state, the 
subject placed SCP-1880 on the experimentation 
chamber's table and addressed the research staff 
directly. Subject identified himself as "The Breath" and 
informed the staff he "found an aspect of interest (to 
him)". The subject proceeded to open the chamber's 
door (despite it being locked), but did not appear on its 
other side. Instead, security cameras caught the subject 
on the other side of Site-17, in SCP- containment 
chamber. D-1880-82 removed SCP- _ , a Safe level 
object, from its storage unit, exited the chamber (which 
was also locked) and disappeared from Site-17 
altogether. Subject D-1880-82 remains uncaptured, and 
SCP- was not recovered.

SCP-1881: Arcade Machine 


Item #: SCP-1881 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1881 is to be kept 
unplugged in a regular store room. Direct testing of the item is 
restricted to D-Classes, which are to be interviewed weekly 
regarding potential aftereffects. 


Description: SCP-1881 is an arcade machine of early 80s design. 
The design is consistent with the [REDACTED] brand, but most 
identifying marks in the casing have been removed or painted over. 
A joystick and a single button are set on the console: a similar setup 
for a second player appears to have been removed. The machine's 
internals are [DATA EXPUNGED] resolution of 256x224, with 16 
colors. 


The machine is functional, even though the hardware appears to be 
partially damaged: the screen frequently displays rendering glitches, 
a good section of the game's images and text are corrupted, and the 
sound often cracks and distorts. 


The "title" screen does not display a title or any credits, only the 
phrase "INS#RT COIN". The machine works with standard United 
States quarters, and only one quarter may be used at a time. Once 
a quarter is inserted, SCP-1881 launches its game, termed 
SCP-1881-B. 


SCP-1881-B is divided in "stages", each of which has different rules 
of gameplay, and which succeed each other apparently at random. 
Commonly seen stages are: 


¢ "Spaceship": The player controls a spaceship under siege by 
an alien horde. 
¢ "Maze": A humanoid player-controlled figure moves around a 


maze, chased by bats or dragons. The goal is to acquire as 
many "golds" as possible before leaving the maze. 

"Insect": The player avatar is a diminutive insect-like creature 
that must work its way up a large structure, while avoiding 
"spiders" and "frogs". 

"Drive": The player controls a car driving a curvy road, while 
avoiding obstacles. 

"Lines": An abstract puzzle game where the goal is to push 
lines around a field so as to surround bouncing "balls". 
"Jungle": The player avatar is a human moving through a 
forest-like environment, populated with thematic enemies and 
obstacles such as crocodiles, snakes and quicksand. 


Other stages appear more rarely, offering various skill and/or 
strategic challenges. Notably no luck-based games appear to be 
represented, nor "sports" games where the opponent is of equal 
strength to the player. 


The stages themselves do not play in the same way when seen 
again: enemies increase or decrease in number, the player's 
movement and abilities change, and obstacles vanish and reappear. 
Notable cases include: 


The "Spaceship" stage appearing with no enemies 
whatsoever: the only entity visible on screen was the player's 
ship, floating in empty space. The stage continued for about 3 
minutes before the game declared "STAGE CL%AR" <sic>. 
The "Insect" stage not docking lives from the player upon 
death, instead keeping the character's corpse on the screen. 
Reaching the top of the construction required assembling a 
mountain of the character's own corpses. 

The "Jungle" stage's scenery being upside down, except for 
the player character, who fell off into the "sky". 

The "Jungle" stage featuring [DATA EXPUNGED] as enemies. 
The "Maze" stage having no exit, no powerups and 
progressively larger numbers of enemies until the player was 
overwhelmed. 


About 30% of SCP-1881-B players report lasting psychological 
effects afterwards, in the form of nightmares related to its contents 
and occasional visual/auditory hallucinations (a common complaint 


is hearing sounds from the game when unaccompanied and in quiet 
areas). One interviewed case, who had access to SCP-1881 before 
it was contained, reported his home videogame console would 
occasionally launch SCP-1881-B instead of whatever game was 
inserted. 


Note: SCP-1881 was recovered in / /1982 from an arcade in ; 
lowa, after a string of unexplained deaths of 7 teenagers, mostly 
males, called the Foundation's attention. All the victims died in their 
sleep, of respiratory arrest and/or cardiac attack. None of the victims 
suffered from life-threatening conditions beforehand: only 2 of the 
victims had a family history for heart conditions, and one for 
epilepsy. Of note is that names of five of the victims match initials in 
the SCP-1881-B's high score screen.

SCP-1882: MC&D Television 


Item #: SCP-1882 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1882 is to be kept in a 
room that is shielded against electromagnetic signals. Attempts to 
open SCP-1882's casing must be made off-site, in locations 
untraceable to Foundation resources. A researcher must be 
available daily to determine the identity of SCP-1882-A and record it. 


Possible new instances of SCP-1882 are to be subjected to Anti- 
Surveillance Procedure L4 (annexed) before extraction. 


Description: SCP-1882 is a bakelite television set of the 
[REDACTED] brand. The power cord is missing, and the only 
identifying mark is the number "037" on the underside. 


SCP-1882 was recovered from the residence of Mr. , who 
confessed to having purchased the item from the firm Marshall, 
Carter & Dark. Four other similar items have been recovered in raids 
of other MC&D customers, but were destroyed before proper 
containment procedures could be enacted. Attempts to record video 
or audio output from SCP-1882 have resulted in the destruction of 
the recording equipment. Similarly, an attempt to open SCP-1882's 
casing led to it emitting a microwave pulse - probably a signalling 
system. 


Every day at 05:00 GMT, SCP-1882 spontaneously turns on and 
begins to broadcast a program. The format of the program does not 
vary, and follows the pattern described below: 


05:00 - SCP-1882 turns itself on. The MC&D logo appears, 
accompained by a rendition of the first two movements of Haydn's 
Opus 76 no. 3. 

05:03 - A female voice recites a list of digits. The digits change with 


each program, and have not been decoded so far. 

05:15 - The scene changes to a bare room, barely lit from an 
unseen light source. A person (a different one each day, herefore 
called SCP-1882-A) is laying on the floor of the room, nude and 
unconscious. 

05:30 (+/- 5 minutes) - SCP-1882-A wakes up. For the next 17 
hours, their reactions vary from instance to instance, but are 
consistent with those of a person that has been removed from their 
regular life and locked in an empty room. The camera stays ina 
single spot, and is never remarked upon. 

22:10 - Most instances of SCP-1882-A react as though they have 
heard noises from outside the room, although none can be heard by 
the viewer. 

22:20 - Between three and five specimens of SCP-1882-B enter the 
field of view, and proceed to [DATA EXPUNGED] 

22:45 - SCP-1882-B specimens retreat, leaving SCP-1882-A's 
corpse on the floor of the room. 

23:00 - SCP-1882 turns itself off. 


Of note is that while SCP-1882-A instances can all be traced back to 
people that were living at the time of the broadcast, there is no 
indication of these people disappearing, and in fact, the Foundation 
has monitored several "victims" leading their daily life parallel to their 
SCP-1882-A doubles being sequestered away. Current theory is 
that SCP-1882-A is a duplicate of the original individual, created 
solely for the purpose of the broadcast. 


Notable instances of SCP-1882-A during the Foundation's 
possession of the item include: 


20/12/2010 - , well-known actress and singer. 

17/02/2011 - , ex-president of 

06/04/2011 - An adult Bengal tiger. 

11/07/2011 - Dr. , Level 3 Researcher of Site 75. Despite not 
knowing SCP-1882's existence, Dr. surmised that he had been 
captured by enemy forces and engaged Protocol Phoebus 3.3, 
causing [REDACTED]. SCP-1882 switched back to the MC&D logo 
until regular turn-off time. 

09/09/2011 - D-99221, enrolled at Site 65. D-99221 was transferred 
and presented to SCP-1882, but was unable to provide any new 


information regarding her appearance as SCP-1882-A. Interview 
and psychological debriefing of D-99221 annexed. 


SCP-1882-B specimens are [DATA EXPUNGED]. Some are 
recognizable as formerly human, and three have been identified as 
previous instances of SCP-1882-A.

SCP-1883: Gamification 


Item #: SCP-1883 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: 17 copies of SCP-1883 are 
kept on mobile phones of various brands in storage at Wing D of 
Site 76. The phones are to be kept off when not in use, and only 
allowed to access the phone network through Site 76's secure data 
connection. When testing SCP-1883 tasks, ensure that targets of 
tasks are D-Classes or subjects abiding by the Ludd Antitechnic 
Directive (annexed). 


All extant copies of SCP-1883 must be erased with expedience after 
their origin is ascertained. and corporations have been 
instructed to report any copies of SCP-1883 to Sigma Computing & 
Programmatics, one of the Foundation's cover businesses. 


Description: SCP-1883 is a "mobile app" or consumer software 
application designed to run on mobile phones running either — or 

operating systems. The interface for SCP-1883 consists of a 
single screen with a text area labeled "Score" and another labeled 
"Instructions". 


Provided a phone with SCP-1883 is connected to the mobile 
network, the "Instructions" field will be updated every 5 to 9 hours 
with a new "task" that the holder of the mobile phone is to perform, 
and an award in "points". If this task is performed before the 
instruction field changes, the "Score" field is increased by the 
number of points described. It is not known how SCP-1883 detects 
whether a task has been completed. 


Certain instructions require the user to interact with other human 
beings, by phone or in person. (e.g. "Call your friend that most hates 
spinach and tell them hello - 3 points") When such an interaction is 
performed, SCP-1883 spreads to the victim's mobile phone or 


phones through unknown means. 


SCP-1883 has a subtle compulsive effect on users, who describe 
the application using words as "interesting" and "fun" and attempt to 
perform the tasks even if they are pointless, dangerous or unlawful. 
This effect increases with large groups of SCP-1883 users, who 
compete with each other for points and follow informal hierarchies 
based on each user's score. 


SCP-1883 has come to the attention of the Foundation after the / / 

incident, where at least 72 people in the cities of [REDACTED] 
irreparably wounded their left eyes with various household objects. 
Most of them were found to be in possession of a mobile phone with 
SCP-1883 installed.

SCP-1884: Madame Rezarta and Her Amazing Palm 
Reader 


Item #: SCP-1884 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1884-A is to reside ina 
low-security residential chamber at Bio Site-59. Due to SCP-1884- 
A's physical disabilities, a Level-1 caretaker is to assist with 
SCP-1884-A's daily activities, such as feeding and dressing.
