After listening to any of the tracks on SCP-3481-1, subjects display 
great distress while hearing voices. When spoken to, subjects 
reflexively cover their ears and cower away from the speaker. In 
extreme cases, subjects have inserted objects into their ears to 
damage their tympanic membrane’. Subjects also refuse to speak, 
but will communicate via written word or gestures. 


When a track is played at full volume and recorded by a machine, 
the secondary audio recording does not exhibit the properties of the 
original. Because of this, it is believed that the anomaly resides 
within SCP-3481-1 and SCP-3481-2, and does not reside within the 
tracks themselves. The secondary recordings consist entirely of 
white noise. 


Document 3481-T-1 
<Begin Log> 


D-5523 is a 32-year-old male. Subject was 
instructed to listen to track a%taH3$. When 
subject begins the track, he sits up straight, 
and does not blink during the entirety of the 
song. Tears form in his eyes after ten seconds, 
either from dehydration or from an emotional 
response. When the track concludes, subject 
sits still for fifteen seconds before slowly 
removing SCP-3481-2 and entering the 
interview room. 


Interviewer: Can you — 


Subject winces away from the Interviewer and 
covers his ears. He falls out of his chair and 
proceeds to enter the fetal position. Interviewer 
looks below the table at Subject. 


Interviewer: Can you please retake your 
seat? 


Subject does not respond. Interviewer takes a 
piece of paper, and begins to write. From now 
on, all responses were not spoken, but written 
on notes passed between Subject and 
Interviewer. 


Interviewer: Do | scare you? 


Subject notices the sign after a minute. He 
shakes his head in negative. 


Interviewer: What's wrong? 


Interviewer passes the paper to Subject along 
with a writing utensil. 


Subject: your voice hurts 
Interviewer and Subject return to their seats. 
Interviewer: Can you be more specific? 


Subject: your voice hurts to hear. cant be 
more specific 


Interviewer: Ok. Can you describe the track 
for me? 


Subject: it was good it was interesting it felt 
weird what do you mean? it sounded glori 
Glorious 


Interviewer: What does Glorious mean? 
Subject: its hard to describe 


Interviewer: Can you describe any of the 
instruments used? Or maybe what genre of 
music it was? Do you remember any lyrics? 


Subject: lyrics? instruments? thats a bad 
question. 


Interviewer: How so? 


Subject: you think you can explain this with 
words. this wasnt made for explaining. its 
something you gotta experience 


Interviewer: So, you cannot describe anything 
about the track. 


Subject: actually in the beginning i could hear 
Him say “coming to you live from the 
[EXPUNGED] music festival, how are you 
feeling today?” 


Interviewer: Who said that? 


Subject: [DATA EXPUNGED] its funny 
because i never liked music much, but im now 
Officially a fan of His 


Interviewer: The track must have made quite 
an impact on you. 


Subject: thats not it. its more that i feel 
purified my ears feel cleansed and i dont want 
them to be dirty again. like all i want to hear is 
His voice, you know? like he'll always take 
care of me.

Document 3481-T-33 


As part of Dr. Teller's testing of SCP-3481, he decided to 
investigate its effects on the hearing-impaired. Below is 


the transcript of his experiment. 


<Begin Log> 


Technician George Crucik, hereafter known as 
Subject, was born deaf. He was instructed to 
listen to track a%taH3$. Subject displays no 


abnormal behavior after the track begins. 
Once the track concludes, Subject begins to 
cry. He finishes after thirty seconds and walks 
into the interview room. The interviewer is 
holding up a sign that says, “How are you 
feeling?”. All responses were not spoken, but 
written on notes passed between Subject and 
Interviewer. 


Subject: I’m feeling strange sad. 
Interviewer: Can you elaborate? 
Subject: | don’t know. What was | listening to? 


Interviewer: A track from SCP-3481, which 
has previously caused subjects to feel pain 
when they hear someone speak. Could you 
hear anything? 


Subject: Not like that. My memory’s fine and 
I’ve been on the other side of the glass for half 
of these tests. | mean what’s on the track? 
What was | supposed to hear? 


Interviewer: Right now, | am interviewing you 
not vice-versa. Please answer the question. 


Subject: Right. My bad. | guess I’m just 
curious. | couldn't hear a thing. But | want to 
know what it was. | feel like I’m being left out of 
something. 


Interviewer: Have you felt like this about other 
auditory experiences before? 


Subject: Not since | was little. 


Interviewer: Could this feeling be caused by 
SCP-3481 ? 


Subject: It’s probably part of the anomaly. So 


can be again if he ever regains his full perception. 


Addendum 451-2: Following the events described in Incident 
Report 451-1, further attempts at convincing SCP-451 to self- 
terminate will result in suspensions of all involved personnel. We 
have him classified as Euclid for a reason. 


Addendum 451-3: Though direct communication is not possible 
with SCP-451, it has been found that active attempts to deceive him 
have varying rates of success. A program has been put in place to 
plant false evidence for SCP-451. His psychological profile indicates 
that he will construct a narrative using this evidence. This "plotline" 
is intended to keep SCP-451 at Site-19 where he may continue to 
be monitored. Contingencies have also been made in case any 
evidence is overlooked or misinterpreted. 


Incident 451-1: On 07/08/20 , SCP-451 discovered a firearm left for 
him by Site-19 staff. SCP-451 entered the main break room, placed 
the weapon in his mouth, and fired it. The bullet passed through 
SCP-451 without harming him and entered a Level 2 researcher. 
The researcher was briefly able to interact with SCP-451 before 
expiring. Unfortunately, no useful information was passed on to 
SCP-451.

you'll probably give me an Amnesiac. And I'll 
probably forget this. Which is probably good. 


Interviewer: Do you want to forget? 


Subject: Yes No Yes Maybe Yes | do. The 
feeling is getting worse. Like pressure pushing 
down on me. | want to hear it! | have this 
feeling that it'd be amazing divi | don’t know. 


Interviewer: Glorious? 


Subject cries silently as he writes his 
response. 


Subject: Yes. That’s it. It’d sound glorious. 
<End Log> 


Subject was administered a Class-C Amnestic and 
returned to his position. However, the treatment was 
deemed ineffective, as he described similar feelings after 
presiding over a later test of SCP-3481. Dr. Teller 
concluded that the emotional response is part of the 
anomalous nature of SCP-3481. Subject was 
administered a Class-B Amnestic and has been 
reassigned to SCP-2927. 


Addendum 3481-A 


During test 67, track ~I%56taSYu was played. Below is 
the transcript of the experiment, and the following 
interview. 


<Begin Log> 


D-7841 is a 21-year-old female. Subject was 
instructed to listen to track ~I%56taS Yu. When 
subject begins the track, her body goes limp 
for the duration of the song. When the track 
concludes, subject sits up and shakes her 
head before moving into the interview room. 


Interviewer holds up a sign that says “How do 
you feel?” 


Subject: What’re you doing? 
Interviewer: You can speak? 


Subject: Yeah... what’d you take me for? A 
mute? 


Interviewer: No. That was simply a part of 
testing protocol. How do you feel? 


Subject: | feel a little disrespected. 
Interviewer: Your sarcasm is not appreciated. 


Subject: Whatever. | have a small headache. 
There. 


Interviewer: Do you remember anything about 
what you heard? 


Subject: Uh... Let me think... Some guy said 
“Thank you to all my fans”, and then started 
listing a bunch of names and places. 


Interviewer: Can you tell me give me any 
specific names or locations? 


Subject: Actually... | think... | think | 
remember them all. 


Interviewer: How many are there? 
Subject: Sixty-eight. 

Subject becomes visibly distraught. 
Subject: How... how do | remember th— 


Interviewer gives Subject a sheet of paper and 
a writing utensil. 


Interviewer: Can you please transcribe the list 
of names? 


Subject slowly nods, and writes down sixty-six 
names, each paired with GPS coordinates with 
arc second resolution. When Subject reaches 
the sixty seventh name she stops writing. 


Interviewer: Please continue writing. 
Subject: Why... Why didn’t | notice... it... it.. 


Interviewer: There’s only two more to go. 
Please finish writing. 


Subject writes her name, followed by GPS 
coordinates: [DATA REDACTED]. Subject’s 
hand begins to shake, presumably as an 
emotional reaction. 


Subject: It said my name. How... how did it 
know my name... 


Interviewer: This is the last one. Then we can 
move on. 


Subject takes a deep breath and writes the 
name “Brandon Zike” and GPS coordinates: 
[DATA REDACTED]. 


Interviewer: Thank you. Now, do you 
recognize any of these names? 


Subject silently points to her own name. 
Interviewer: Any others? 
Subject: No. Not any others. 


Interviewer: Did the recording say anything 
else? 


Subject: Yes. It said one more thing. 
Interviewer: What was it? 


Subject: He said... He said “I look forward to 
seeing you all at my next performance. Same 
place. You'll know the time.” 


<End Log> 


After the interview, D-7841 was administered a Class-B 
amnestic. 


Upon further examination, it was determined that the list 
consisted of the names of every test subject who has 
listened to any of the tracks on SCP-3481-1 and their 
location when track ~I%56taSYu was played, except for 
the last name and location. The last name was "Brandon 
Zike”, and his location was the correct GPS coordinates 
of SCP-  . Confirmation of the existence and true 
location of Brandon Zike is Priority 5. 


Due to the sensitivity of information disseminated during 
the testing of track ~I%56taSYu, Dr. Teller has 
suspended all experiments involving track ~l%56taS Yu 
until further notice.

SCP-3483: The Al Who Loved Me 


Item #: SCP-3483 

Object Class: Keter Euclid! Safe2 

Special Containment Procedures: 
> Original procedure - S-21/SCP-3483/15-5-2016-

DTI neural connection mapping during SCP-3483-A activity 


As of 22/5/2017, following Dr. Roger M_'s untimely death and until 
SCP-3483 can be safely reactivated, all pending missions either 
were involved in are canceled. Instances of SCP-3483-A not 
currently implanted and incorrupt backups of SCP-3483 are to be 
kept in standard secure fireproof storage. Implanted SCP-3483-A 
are to be recovered post-mortem. 


Description: 


SCP-3483 is a_ distributed, surveillance-focused, artificial 
intelligence. It has mundane functionalities including, but not limited 
to, autonomously exploiting remotely accessible sensors and hosts, 
communicating in human-readable format and performing advanced 
data mining and recognition tasks. While it has access to vast 
reserves of processing power through its network of infected hosts, 
efficiency for those tasks can be described as suboptimal. 


Initial observations show SCP-3483 can also modify and propagate 
its own code. Displays of rudimentary empathy can be attributed to 


hard-coded emulation. The most peculiar feature recorded to date is 
its ability to share sensory experiences with live human subjects 
implanted with SCP-3483-A. 


SCP-3483-A is a set of cybernetic implants designed to interface a 
live human subject with SCP-3483. Features include monitoring life 
signs and (neuro-)hormonal levels, capturing full sensory input, 
providing encrypted two-way communication and feeding virtual 
stimuli constructed by SCP-3483 into the host's neural system. 


¢ Initial Observation Report - DoA/SCP-3483/2-5-2016-OR-1 


SCP-3483-A was discovered during the autopsy of Dr. 
K , assigned to Site-19. Dr. K was terminated 
following an escape attempt. He had been in custody 
while being investigated for a pattern of unlawfully 
accessing classified data and communicating with an 
outside party through non-registered channels. Following 
interrogation, he was thought to be a plant of GOI-1115, 
"Anderson Robotics". 

However, while most of SCP-3483-A’s components are 
non-standard and highly miniaturized, none showed any 
sign of anomalous make or properties under non- 
destructive examination. The lack of any thaumaturgical 
component makes Dr. K _ ’s confession a likely attempt 
at active misdirection from SCP-3483. 


The encryption protocol used for SCP-3483-A 
communication is highly complex and _ constantly 
modified on both ends by SCP-3483. It is as such 
unbreakable by usual brute force or man-in-the-middle 
methods. 


The distributed nature of SCP-3483 makes containment 
near impossible while it remains hostile. Machine code 
samples obtained from seized active nodes have proven 
to be metamorphic, highly obfuscated and frequently 
updated. This makes developing an effective attack 
vector unlikely and sandboxing near useless. 


Given how long Dr. K had been in Foundation’s 


employ before his communications were detected, 
SCP-3483 has most likely hoarded considerable 
intelligence on Foundation activities. While no public 
intelligence release has occurred and SCP-3483’s 
motivations are unknown, the risk of a major breach is 
too high to ignore. 


While SCP-3483 has communicated with the Foundation 
in hostile fashion after Dr. K's termination, its general 
personality has been evaluated as agreeable and 
somewhat mercenary by the Department of Analytics. It 
displays a remarkable drive for acquiring new 
intelligence. Social engineering is most likely the best 
option to contain SCP-3483. 

Initial classification as Keter is requested, given the high 
risk of an intelligence breach. Implementation of the 
containment negotiation protocol is to be conducted by 
the Department of Analytics at Site-21. 


Medical log (excerpt) - MD/RIM/17-5-2016-1 


This log was recorded in the recovery room following 
implantation of SCP-3483-A into Dr. R. M_. The only 
other persons present were Dr. M. 1, surgeon and S. 
L_,nurse. 


RM: Doctor, I'm hearing a voice right now, it has to be 
SCP-3483. 


MI: I'm not hearing anything, sir. Maybe the anesthetic 
hasn't worn off completely. 


RM: Yes, I'm hearing you as if you were in the room. I'd 
hate being called by a number too. So what is your 
name? 


RM: OK, Aria, | just need to know... is there anything 
more you can tap like this? 


RM: No, I'm not worried, just curious. You'll feel 
everything about me. How about you tell me a wee bit 


about you? 


RM: No, we're not out to put you to work, or anything like 
that. You simply took... data that belongs to us, you 
know... We were hoping to reach an understanding with 
you about it. 


RM: We're in this together for the long haul now, it's up 
to us both to make it the least unpleasant it has to be. 


RM: Sub-vocalizing? Yeah, | think | can do that. | guess 
I'll have to if | don't want everyone to think I'm a crazy 
person speaking to thin air.
