Given space to move, SCP-1213 will haphazardly explore an area. 
Should SCP-1213 encounter a suitable subject, SCP-1213 will 
transport the subject into the basket on its firing arm by unknown 
means. SCP-1213 must be within 10 meters of its subject in order to 
transport it. SCP-1213 will then launch the subject at the nearest flat 
vertical surface. After a launching it will remain stationary, emitting a 
sound similar to the contented purring produced by felines while it 
resets its firing arm. SCP-1213 will then resume its haphazard 
exploration. SCP-1213's firing arm can be strapped down, but any 
strapping will break should SCP-1213 launch a subject. 


SCP-1213 favors infant to prepubescent mammalian subjects that 
weigh between 15 and 50 kilograms. SCP-1213 has also been 
known to launch subjects with dwarfism on occasion. 


SCP-1213 was foundin — ,a farming town in England, after several 
unexplainable cases of dead children and small animals that were 
reported as having been "hurled into walls at high velocity". A search 


of the town found SCP-1213 in the bushes of a school playground. 
Further investigation of the town led to the discovery of an 
improvised laboratory in an abandoned farmhouse. Much of the 
laboratory was destroyed by an explosion, presumably caused by 
the large defunct device that was the focus of the laboratory. The 


device was the experimental work of Dr. , who could not be 
located. 
Dr. 's damaged research log was discovered in pieces amongst 


the debris of the warehouse, and only excerpts could be retrieved. 
Excerpts of Dr. "s research log:

SCP-1214: Anomalous Random Number Generator 


Item #: SCP-1214 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The laptop computer containing 
SCP-1214 (designated 1214-L1), and all its peripherals are to be 
kept in a standard laptop case in a secure locker in the Computer 
Science Department of Site-33. No testing is to be performed on 
SCP-1214 without the authorization of the Senior CSD 
Administrator, Dr G. Wilson. 


As per Standard Anomalous Computer Equipment Regulation 4324- 
B, 1214-L1 must under no circumstances be connected to a network 
of any kind. 


Description: 1214-L1 is a standard Dell XPS Ultrabook laptop 
computer including power supply and mouse. Software installed 
includes the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system and Microsoft 
Visual Studio 2012. 


Several coding projects can be found in the "Documents" folder of 
user _ . Most of these are programming exercises in the C# 
programming language. SCP-1214 is a project, also written in C#, 
with the name "random_number_test". 


The program consists of approximately 60 lines of code. The 
program generates random numbers in the range 48-90, which are 
then interpreted as ASCII character codes. This gives the possibility 
of generating the characters in Table 1, below. 


Tabie 1, possibie characters generated by SCP-1214 aigorithm

at sign (@) 


The characters are assembled into lines of 50 characters each. One 
(1) such line is printed to a text window every second while the 
program is running.

The anomalous properties of SCP-1214 can be hard to detect at 
first. However, running the program output through a stochastic 
analyzer will show that while the output begins by following the 
expected pseudo-random distribution used by modern computers, 
this will gradually change the longer the program is allowed to run. 
Eventually patterns with an unexpectedly low probability will begin to 


emerge.

In this example, a clear bias towards the 
character 'A' can be observed, not consistent 
with the expected random distribution that 
SCP-1214's algorithm should generate. 


Approximately hours, minutes after program start, what appears 
to be semi-coherent sentences start appearing in the output. This 
point in time is designated "T". Periods before and after T are 
designated Phase 1 and Phase 2, respectively.

Phase 2 (underlining added). 

Identified words in this example: "MAKE", "IT", 
"STOP", "STOP", "MAKE", alley: "STOP", 
‘PLEASE "PLEASE NO” -MORE™ 
"PLEASE" 


At +/- 3 hours after start of Phase 2, the frequency of identifiable 
words starts to drop. At the same time bias towards long strings of 
the same character starts to slowly increase. Additionally, the 
number of different characters in the output begins to diminish, as if 
the probability of them appearing has dramatically decreased. This 
is designated Phase 3.

Example of output during Phase 3, Test Run 
14. Probability for characters A, F, L,O and Y 
has dropped to 0, or near 0. They do not 
appear in the output again during 1214-TR14. 


Phase 3 continues as described with no further variances. The 


longest test to date has been 1214-TR27, where SCP-1214 was run 


for days, and showed a_ percent reduction in the character set 
during Phase 3. 


Stopping and restarting the SCP-1214 program results in a 
repetition of phases 1 through 3, with slight variations in program 
output as well as the lengths of the respective phases. 


The current theory is that the diminishing probabilities observed 
during Phase 3 will continue until only one (1) character remains in 
the output. Calculations show that such a result would require the 
program to run for somewhere between and days. 


Additional: After the occurrence described in Addendum 1214-3, 
SCSDA G. Wilson ordered testing of SCP-1214 to be suspended 
until further notice. 


Addendum 1214-1: 

Standard Electronic Contamination Tests (SECT) have proved 
negative. SCP-1214 does not appear to be able to infect other 
computers, and copies of the SCP-1214 program will not exhibit 
anomalous properties. 


Addendum 1214-2, acquisition log: 


1214-L1 was retrieved by Agent from the campus dorm of 
University, after a persistent rumor had circulated among the 
students that there existed an experimental program that "behaved 
funny" if executed over a period of several days. The rumors were 
exaggerated and ranged from speculations about "rogue 
government Als" to "impossible patterns seen in 'The Game of Life’”. 


Fortunately, the owner of 1214-L1 appears to have shunned the 
attention this was generating, and exposure was therefore kept to a 
minimum. After acquiring the item, Agent deployed a Class-lV 
Worm in the university network to monitor data traffic for further 
indications of SCP-1214, or similar activity. So far none has been 
detected. 


Addendum 1214-3: 
+ Incident report, - - 
- - , Test Lab 1214-2. 


Test Run 28 was started, with the goal of letting 
SCP-1214 run for double the length of 1214-TR27. 
Standard video capture / OCR scanner setup used to 
record SCP-1214 output. 


Personnel assigned to 1214-TR28 was Lead 
Researcher, Dr H , and Research Assistant, Dr P 


Phase 1 completed according to expectations. However, 
at minutes into Phase 2, the following words, quite 
different from the Phase 2 data acquired up to this point, 
appeared in SCP-1214's output: 


0?C9HWIHURTSHURTS9?PLEASE 


Approximately five (5) seconds after this point in time, Dr 
H appeared to be caught by a seizure lasting for 13 
seconds. She then fell unconscious and dropped to the 


floor. 


After a period of 17 seconds, Dr P __ followed the 
Emergency Protocol and hit the cutoff switch, terminating 
all power to Test Lab 1214-2.(DrP _ later receiveda 
reprimand for failure to react within prescribed time limit.) 


DrH was brought to Emergency Medical Facility, 
where her condition was monitored and found to be 
stable. She revived after 34 hours, at which point further 
examination revealed that she had undergone a uniform 
23% loss of visual, auditory, tactile and gustatory acuity. 
Olfactory acuity was unaffected. (See Reports 1214-345 
through 1214-347 for speculation on this discrepancy.) 


DrH remains under medical supervision until further 
notice.

SCP-1215: Peri Logismon 


Item #: SCP-1215 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1215 must be contained 
within a locked room pursuant standard Level 2 (Moderate Threat), 
Type 3 (Visual Stimuli), Mind-Altering Protocols. Access requires 
written approval. 


Due to the object's age and fragile nature, SCP-1215 must be 
maintained in a hermetically-sealed chamber of inert gas with 
extremely low humidity at a temperature of ten degrees Celsius. 
SCP-1215 should not be exposed to ultraviolet light for longer than 
absolutely necessary. Routine inspection, and maintenance as 
necessary, is to be performed twice monthly by religious Class-D 
personnel certified in the care of rare books and manuscripts 
(cooperation of these Class-D personnel is grounds for indefinite 
suspension of their termination). Failure to comply with these 
measures will result in the object's significant damage and/or 
destruction. 


Personnel exposed to SCP-1215 are to be placed in isolation for 
their own protection and the protection of other personnel. A sincere 
confession and repentance of one's sins to a qualified priest of the 
affected personnel's religion, even for religious traditions which do 
not include a confessional rite, has been shown to cause the effects 
of SCP-1215 to subside over the following 24-48 hours. For non- 
religious personnel, confessions to individuals holding doctorates in 
philosophy have proven effective in approximately 60% of cases. 
Personnel who cry while confessing generally recover more quickly 
and (if non-religious) have higher likelihoods of recovery. Non-Class- 
D personnel who are asymptomatic after fourteen days may resume 
their previous duties after the successful completion of a psychiatric 
examination. 


Description: SCP-1215 is a 4th century illuminated manuscript, 
written in Medieval Greek on vellum. It was recovered from an 
archeological dig of a Byzantine monastery in , Turkey. 
Illustrations are decorated with both gold and silver. The manuscript 
is a version of the Peri Logismon, apparently an original copy written 
by the work’s author, Evagrius "The Solitary" Ponticus (345-399 
CE), a Christian monk and ascetic. The Peri Logismon is a treatise 
on temptation, and the “Eight Evil Thoughts”, the predecessor to the 
more modern “Seven Deadly Sins”. The text of SCP-1215 varies 
appreciably from other copies of the work. 


Individuals exposed to the text or illustrations within SCP-1215 have 
their behavior altered, though these alterations do not appear to 
manifest themselves until the individual leaves the immediate 
proximity of the object. Subjects exhibit behavior consistent with one 
of the “eight evil thoughts” described within the manuscript. Analysis 
of personnel and D-class under SCP-1215’s influence suggests that 
the alterations to their behavior are based on their prior personality; 
additional testing for a statistically significant sample is ongoing. 


The effects of SCP-1215 vary, not only based on which vice 
manifests itself in the behavior of exposed personnel, but also in the 
severity of the behavior. Currently, symptoms are divided into three 
phases. 


¢ Phase | (Initial) symptoms are exhibited immediately upon 
leaving the vicinity of SCP-1215, and are sufficiently minor 
that they may go unnoticed. 

Phase II (Intermediate) symptoms are exhibited starting 
approximately 12-36 hours of leaving the object’s vicinity, and, 
while noticeable and potentially hazardous, are unlikely to 
result in permanent harm to the subject or others. 

Phase Ill (Terminal) symptoms are exhibited starting after 
approximately 48-96 hours of leaving the object’s vicinity. 
Phase III symptoms often result in significant harm to the 
subject and personnel nearby.
