Though SCP-1189 had been previously contained on-site, an 
attempt was made to transport it by constructing a soundproofed 
steel box around the estimated center of SCP-1189 and transporting 
the box. The attempt was successful, with no trace of SCP-1189 
remaining in the original location, and all readings within the box 
remaining identical to those taken before transport. All contents of 
the recording studio were destroyed. 


Experiment Log: 013-001 


Name: Dr. 
Date: // 


The box containing SCP-1189 was placed ina 
soundproofed room, and all air was evacuated from both 
the room and the box. Subject D-013-01 entered the 
room wearing a Type-5 containment suit and opened the 
box. SCP-1189 was immediately heard through the suit's 
headset, affecting the personnel in the control room 
overseeing the test, including Dr. . Dr. opened 
the airlock and attempted to record the sound before 
being neutralized by security. All personnel within 
earshot of SCP-1189 were affected, with symptoms 
decreasing with distance from SCP-1189. Upon 
psychological evaluation of personnel within extreme 
range of SCP-1189, they reported growing increasingly 
agitated as they attempted to remember what they had 
heard, playing random notes and experimenting with 
audio software in an attempt to recreate it. Such 


personnel were terminated. 


Addendum: 013-01 

On // at 05:23, analytical software monitoring SCP-1189 detected 
a pattern. At 06:04 a recording of SCP-1189 was broadcast over 
emergency loudspeakers to all of Floor 27. Emergency security 
personnel were alerted, but were also affected upon reaching the 
floor. The broadcast continued until standard and emergency power 
to the entire floor had been cut, resulting in a loss of containment for 
three other SCPs, including SCP- . Emergency containment crews 
disconnected all loudspeakers and restored power to the floor. All 
readings from within SCP-1189's containment had ceased, and 
SCP-1189's absence was confirmed using Class D personnel. Upon 
further investigation, it appears that the computer running the 
analytical program monitoring SCP-1189 for patterns had generated 
a piece of malicious code that was implemented on the floor's 
computer network, allowing the recording of SCP-1189 to be 
uploaded to the emergency broadcast system. Investigation into 
SCP-1189's whereabouts is ongoing. Recommend immediate 
reclassification of SCP-1189 to Euclid class.

SCP-1190: Universal Simulator 


Item #: SCP-1190 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1190 is to be contained in 
a secured, temperature-controlled observation room. The 
observation room must provide accommodations for long term living, 
to include a cot for sleeping, a restroom, and a food preparation 
area. 


Video surveillance equipment is to be installed outside the 
observation windows to record the device’s output as well as any 
input provided by SCP-1190-1. All recordings from the surveillance 
equipment are to be permanently archived for study. 


A nurse or nurse assistant must be available to care for 
SCP-1190-1. Nurse duties include delivery of food, bathing, feeding, 
application of medicine, administration of intravenous feeding 
systems, and other tasks necessary for the care of a potentially 
severely disabled person. 


Personnel are not to interact directly with SCP-1190 except for D- 
class personnel cleared to be used as test subjects. Any D-class 
subjects to be used for testing SCP-1190 are to be cleared with site 
administration for a stay of execution during the course of the 
experiment. 


Procedure update following experiment 1190-1: The floor of the 
observation room must have a central drain for eliminating waste. 


Procedure update following experiment 1190-2: SCP-1190 is to be 
powered at all times, with backup batteries and a diesel generator in 
case of power failure. 


Description: SCP-1190 is a 1973 Hewlett Packard 3000 computer 


system. Installed on the device is a program which performs a 
physics simulation, beginning with the known origins of the universe. 
Observation of the simulation suggests that it is capable of 
simulating physical phenomena beyond our current understanding. 
While running the program, SCP-1190 exhibits inexplicably powerful 
processing capability, an anomaly which does not persist while the 
device performs other tasks. 


Attempts to decompile the program or to move it to a different device 
have failed. The program appears to be corrupt to all observations 
and actions beyond running it on SCP-1190. 


Aside from its anomalous performance characteristics and the 
inexplicably accurate logic used by the simulation, the only other 
notable physical characteristic of SCP-1190 is that it is unusually 
well maintained for its age. Otherwise, it appears to be a normal 
example of a computer of its make and model. 


When the program is executed on SCP-1190, the screen displays: 


Press Enter to Begin... 


Any individual who activates the program stored on SCP-1190 will 
become fascinated with the simulation. The individual will want to 
intervene in the development of the virtual universe to cause it to 
proceed according to the individual's personal ideals. The individual 
is designated SCP-1190-1. Over time, SCP-1190-1 will become 
more obsessed with the simulation, increasingly neglecting personal 
needs in favor of managing the virtual universe. 


Documentation of known commands can be obtained with consent 
from at least one personnel having clearance level 2/1190 or 
greater; however, the documentation is believed to be far from 
complete. Each new subject intuits new commands over time, and 
while video of the subject's input and the observable results on the 
simulation have been archived, the exact effects of many commands 
haven't yet become clear. 


History: SCP-1190 came to the attention of The Foundation via an 
asset embedded in the security department of Laboratories. 


On //  ,ajanitor at Laboratories reported to security that 
an unpleasant smell was coming from a disused office. 


In the office, the responding security officer found a researcher who 
was thought to have been missing for several weeks (D C_ , 
hereby designated SCP-1190-1-A) operating SCP-1190 and 
surrounded by days of her own refuse and waste. SCP-1190-1-A 
had at some point brought several days worth of food and water to 
the office, but only a small amount of water remained. 


SCP-1190-1-A displayed symptoms of stage 3 starvation: flaking 
skin, thinning hair, and insufficient strength to sit up properly. 
However, SCP-1190-1-A was still operating SCP-1190 while 
muttering inaudibly. 


The security officer attempted to administer aid, but SCP-1190-1-A 
was uncooperative until the officer disconnected the power to 
SCP-1190. SCP-1190-1-A became violent and attempted to attack 
the officer, but because of the aforementioned symptoms was easily 
subdued. SCP-1190-1-A expired from systemic infection secondary 
to starvation while being rushed to the hospital. 


+ Transcript of video taken by security officer 


Officer: “D ? Is that you? Ugh, it stinks in 
here—are you okay?” 


SCP-1190-1-A: [INAUDIBLE] 


Officer: “Holy [EXPLETIVE REDACTED]! 

D  ! Your hair—your skin! What happened to 
you? SecOps, we need medical on floor , 
office immediately! Ugh, what the hell are 
you sitting in? Stay with me, girl!” 


SCP-1190-1-A: [INAUDIBLE] 


Officer attempts to remove SCP-1190-1-A 
from the terminal, but she resists. 


Officer: “Hey—what’s going on here? You 
need help! Let me help you!” 


Officer waves a hand in front of SCP-1190-1-A 
and gets no response. The officer then 
unplugs SCP-1190 from the wall. 


Officer: “You've got to focus! Stay with me!” 


SCP-1190-1-A: “You... you killed them... m- 
murderer! You killed them all!” 


SCP-1190-1-A attempts to lunge at the officer, 
but lacks the strength to stay upright and 
collapses. SCP-1190-1-A claws at the officer's 
legs. 


Officer: “W-what are you doing? You’ve got to 
hold still! Ouch! Hey, I’m here to help you!” 


The officer restrains SCP-1190-1-A with a pair 
of handcuffs. 


Officer: “SecOps, you’d better get a stretcher 
up here—something with restraints, | just 
found D and she is delirious and in bad 
shape.” 


SCP-1190-1-A: “Billions... you killed billions. 
They needed me, | gave them paradise, and 
you killed them. Monster!”

Experiment Logs: 
+ Excerpts from Experiment Log 1190-1 


Subject: D-class personnel D-11593 is a 53 year old 
Caucasian male. 

Subject Background: A former network administrator, 
D-11593 is a sociopath convicted on 6 counts of torture 
and murder in the first degree. 


D-11593 (hereafter referred to as SCP-1190-1-B) was 


selected for this experiment due to high scores on 
computer aptitude tests. 


Day 1: SCP-1190-1-B was locked in the observation 
room for SCP-1190. Subject was instructed to begin the 
simulation, and to keep a diary during the experiment. 
Subject was given no further instructions. 


Day 2: SCP-1190-1-B spent 2 hours tending to the 
simulation. 


Excerpt from subject diary 

“They’re making me run some kind of 
simulation, it seems. So far all | can see area 
bunch of white pixels moving away from each 
other. | can make them move a litile faster or a 
little slower, but that’s about it.” 


Day 7: SCP-1190-1-B spent 8 hours tending to the 
simulation. 


Excerpt from subject diary 

“The stars, they have planets! | figured out 
how to start a chain reaction in a star that 
makes it Supernova and take out a bunch of 
planets with it. Maybe if | fast forward enough, 
| can find one with some playthings.” 


Day 12: SCP-1190-1-B spent 14 hours tending to the 
simulation. The rest of the day was spent sleeping and 
eating with no recreation. 


Excerpt from subject diary 

“I found another planet with some life starting. | 
shouldn't have broken the last planet with life; 
it took me too long to find another one. This 
time | think I'll be more subtle and see how 
much a life form can take before it just can't 
live anymore.” 


Day 20: SCP-1190-1-B spent 18 hours tending to the 


simulation. Subject ate at the terminal, leaving only to 
sleep and use the restroom. 


Excerpt from subject diary 

“| figured out how to keep the creatures | 
created alive, even when most of them just 
want to die. The young ones cry and shake 
from the pain, but as they get older, they seem 
to get used to it. | have to figure out a way to 
change up the pain as they get older, so it will 
never end.” 


Day 42: SCP-1190-1-B spent 20 hours tending to the 
simulation. Subject ate at the terminal, and only left the 
simulation to use the restroom. SCP-1190-1-B fell asleep 
for 4 hours at the desk; upon waking up, subject 
displayed some anxiety about having drifted off. When 
instructed to write in the journal, SCP-1190-1-B became 
agitated and had to be threatened with an electric prod 
before complying. 


Excerpt from subject diary 

“The last of the creatures from planet 7 died 
out today while | was asleep. | should have 
been there so it wouldn't have been so quick. 
Now they're making me spend more time away 
from the universe to write this entry; who 
knows what else I'll miss? 


| suppose | was getting bored anyway, they 
can only scream so much. | think this time, I'll 
make the life on planets 12 and 13 evolve so 
they are perfect for killing each other, then 
open up a wormhole between the planets and 
see who wins.” 


Day 84: SCP-1190-1-B spent 24 hours tending to the 
simulation. Subject no longer eats independently, and 
has been placed on intravenous feeding. The nurse has 
to give the subject sponge baths, and a drain has been 
installed in the floor so waste can be flushed. In addition, 


the nurse has been instructed to regularly manipulate the 
subject's extremities to mitigate complications from long- 
term immobility. 


When instructed to write in the journal, subject remains 
unresponsive, even if shocked with an electric prod. 


Transcript of surveillance video 
SCP-1190-1-B: “No, it can't be over this soon! 
| know, I'll bring them back, let them fight it out 
again...” 


Day 105: SCP-1190-1-B suffered from a pulmonary 
embolism resulting from a deep-vein thrombosis. Subject 
began to have trouble breathing and started coughing. 
The research assistant on duty called for the nurse, who 
was off duty and took nearly 30 minutes to respond. By 
the time the nurse arrived, the subject's symptoms had 
transitioned to bloody coughing and collapse. Before 
losing consciousness, SCP-1190-1-B rendered the 
simulation unusable by bringing about the destruction of 
the virtual universe. 


SCP-1190-1-B was transferred to medical, where an 
anticoagulant was administered, but SCP-1190-1-B 
expired from sudden cardiac death. 


Transcript of surveillance video 
SCP-1190-1-B begins exhibiting trouble 
breathing, including wheezing and coughing. 


Research Assistant Dr. : “Hey, what's 
going on with our guy? Get the nurse to check 
him out.” 


Approximately 30 minutes elapses before 
SCP-1190-1-B begins coughing up blood. 
SCP-1190-1-B: “What... what's happening...” 
SCP-1190-1-B's posture becomes limp during 
onset of collapse; the nurse arrives and is 
cleared to enter the observation room. 
SCP-1190-1-B: “I can't... leave them... alone. 
If | go... they're coming with me.” 


Nurse : “We've got tachypnea, 
hemoptysis and cyanosis. We need to get him 
to medical immediately!” 

SCP-1190-1-B loses consciousness. 


Nurse was reprimanded for responding to a priority 
3 page in excess of 10 minutes. Video of this incident is 
under consideration for staff training purposes. 


+ Excerpts from Experiment Log 1190-2 


Subject: D-class personnel D-14899 is a 37 year old 
Hispanic female. 

Subject Background: A former professional artist, 
D-14899 was convicted on 2 counts of murder after one 
of her art pieces was vandalized. 


D-14899 (hereafter referred to as SCP-1190-1-C) was 
selected for this experiment due to an artistic 
background. 


Day 1: SCP-1190-1-C was locked in the observation 
room for SCP-1190. Subject was instructed to begin the 
simulation, and to keep a diary during the experiment. 
SCP-1190-1-C was given no further instructions. 


Day 2: SCP-1190-1-C spent 1 hour tending to the 
simulation. 


Excerpt from subject diary 

“This place is like so many other prisons, and 
yet unlike them. | heard sounds ... or maybe | 
didn’t... in the other areas. Had strange 
feelings. Ideas came into my mind, 
inspirations... | want to paint them, but | can't. 
All | have is this diary, and some computer, 
showing dots.” 


Day 4: SCP-1190-1-C spent 2 hours tending to the 
simulation, and 6 hours sketching in the diary. Subject's 
request for assorted art supplies denied. 


Excerpt from subject diary 

“| tried. | tried to get the ideas out, but | can 
only do so much with a pencil. The only other 
thing in here to look at is that computer, and all 
| can do is move around in space. If only there 
were some colors to look at.” 


Day 9: SCP-1190-1-C spent 12 hours tending to the 
simulation. The rest of the day was spent writing 
extensive diary entries, eating and sleeping. 


Excerpt from subject diary 

“This is amazing! It's the world's biggest, most 
perfect canvas! But it's more than that. | can 
shape galaxies into flowers, and those into 
gardens. | can paint the horizon of a beautiful 
purple moon with stars that change colors as 
the planet rotates. It's sculpting, and painting, 
and music and dance, all at once!” 


Day 21: SCP-1190-1-C spent 20 hours tending to the 
simulation. Subject eats meals at the terminal, and 
leaves only to use the restroom, to sleep for 2 hours, and 
to make entries in the diary.
