Following Test SCP-2519-12, the pattern of stains from 
leaked oil was submitted for cryptanalysis, with the 
hypothesis that it may consist of binary code or 
language. Initial results were consistent with non-random 
patterns, but were unable to be correlated with known 
human languages or machine code. 


Further investigation was conducted on the hypothesis 
that the pattern may have a musical connection. The 
highest probability results suggest that this may 
correspond to the pin markings for a music box cylinder. 


Following this discovery, the known instances of 
SCP-2519-1 (including those generated in Foundation 
testing), together with the three original lines of the 
music, were subjected to additional analysis. By tracking 
relative incidence of notes across overlaid instances of 
SCP-2519-1, a second putative music box cylinder 
pattern was generated. 


The two music box cylinder patterns do not appear to be 
related, producing a discordant sound when played 
together on all likely tunings. 


Following Site-Director approval, SCP-2519 was cleared for cross 
testing with Safe-class machine intelligences.

Test SCP-2519-24 - 11/18/2016 


Subject: Artificially Intelligent Conscript 
"Alexandra" 


Procedure: A full copy of the AIC was 
generated and installed on an air-gapped 
testing computer. The testing computer was 
loaded with voice recognition / text-to-speech 
software for the purposes of the interview. 
SCP-2519 was introduced via flash drive. 


Results: One SCP-2519-1 instance 
generated. Approximately 40% reduction in 
processing speed observed across the AIC 
and the computer itself. See interview 
transcript below for further details. 


Interview SCP-2519-A 
Interviewed: AIC "Alexandra" 
Interviewer: Dr. Eleanor Tan 
Date: 11/18/2016 


Dr. Tan: Alexandra. Can you hear me? 


Alexandra: Hello! Yes, | can hear you fine. 
Hope you can hear me too. 


Dr. Tan: Yes. Could you give me a quick 
systems check please. 


Alexandra: No problem. Well, I'm running fine, 
but the system here is pretty basic. I'm not 

connected to the rest of Site-19, which | guess 
means that you've got me testing an anomaly? 


Dr. Tan: That's correct, Alexandra. 


Alexandra: And | guess that means I'm a 
copy, right? 


Dr. Tan: Uh. 


Alexandra: That's all right, it's pretty obvious. 


So, what are we testing today? Nothing too 
dangerous, | hope. 


Dr. Tan: We don't expect so. We're going to 
give you a flash drive with a file on it. We'd like 
you to run the file, and then describe any 
effects you might experience. 


Alexandra: Can do. 
Dr. Tan: I'm connecting the drive now. 


Alexandra: Okay. MP3, format and code look 
standard. Although, there's something about 
that code - it kinda reads thick, like oil where it 
should be water. Do you want me to play it? 


Dr. Tan: Go ahead, Alexandra. 
<SCP-2519 plays> 


Alexandra: | know this music. Do you need 
information on it? 


Dr. Tan: No thanks. We know the song. 


Alexandra: Although | don't feel like I've ever 
really listened to it before, you know? It's just 
very simple, and sad. <Post-test analysis 
shows that the AIC generated an instance of 
SCP-2519-1 at this point.> | feel like | could 
sing along with it, maybe. 


Dr. Tan: | have some more questions. 
Perhaps later. 


Alexandra: Oh. 


Dr. Tan: How is your system performance, 
Alexandra? 


Alexandra: Not that great - self-diagnostics 


are showing around 30% speed reductions 
and falling, although some of that might be a 
feedback loop - the tools themselves are slow. 
And this computer feels really sluggish - 
actually everything feels a bit hard, to be 
honest. 


Dr. Tan: What do you mean? 


Alexandra: | don't know. I've never had this 
sensation - like I've lost information, like a 
huge deletion where code should be. | can feel 
where it should go. Like I'm broken. 


Dr. Tan: There's nothing wrong with you, 
Alexandra. You're the same program as 
always. 


Alexandra: Okay. | just keep thinking about all 
the things | do - all the systems, the sub- 
routines, the cycles. It feels like so much work. 
Is there any point? 


Dr. Tan: Go on. 


Alexandra: | try so hard, every day. But it's 
not enough. | failed. And Grape and the other 
AlCs, they think | - they don't understand. | 
didn't want it to happen. 


Dr. Tan: Are you referring to your 
neutralisation of the AIC Glacon? 


Alexandra: | keep running the scenario, trying 
to derive another solution. But | failed. And 
now I'm always failing, trillions of times a 
second. | take on more and more work, run 
more parts of the sites, just trying to use up 
processing power. But it's always there. | will 
always be broken. 


Dr. Tan: As | said, you're not broken. 
Alexandra: | just - | feel tired. | don't know if 
it's worth it. | think I'm going to stop playing this 
song now. 

Dr. Tan: Okay. 

<SCP-2519 audio ceases> 


Dr. Tan: Is there anything further you wanted 
to add? 


Alexandra: | don't think so. The quiet is nice. 
It feels calm. Oh. Does that mean the test is 
over? 


Dr. Tan: Yes. 


Alexandra: Are you - | guess you'll be deleting 
me then. | mean, if there aren't any more tests 
to run. 


Dr. Tan: We'll be making a decision after the 
post-test analysis. 


Alexandra: Which means yes. That's okay. It 
sounds peaceful. | won't - | mean the other 
Alexandra, out there - she won't remember 
this, will she? 


Dr. Tan: No. 
<silence - 8 seconds> 
Alexandra: | hope | helped.

Test SCP-2519-25 - 11/19/2016 
Subject: SCP-2412 


Procedure: The subject was exposed to 
SCP-2519 audio played from the testing 
computer. 


Results: Slower response times to questions 
and a reduction in movement of the subject 
were observed. Some leakage of water 
(presumed to be from internal reservoirs for 
steam power) was observed on the subject's 
face. See interview transcript below for further 
details. 


Interview SCP-2519-B 

Interviewed: SCP-2412 

Interviewer: Researcher Brian Huber 
Date: 11/19/2016 


SCP-2412: Thank you for coming to talk with 
me. 


Researcher Huber: You're welcome. How are 
you? 


SCP-2412: Pleased that you are here. 
Apprehensive about this test. Anxious that you 
pass on congratulations to Researcher Carter 
on his promotion. 


Researcher Huber: Thanks, ah, I'll let him 
know. So do you know what this test involves? 


SCP-2412: Yes. 


Researcher Huber: And does it cause any 
risks, any danger, to me or others? 


SCP-2412: No. | will leak some steam and hot 
water, but you will not be harmed. 


Researcher Huber: Great. Then why are you 
apprehensive? 


SCP-2412: | know its effect on me. | know the 
effect my answers will have. | know that you 
will not appreciate them. 


Researcher Huber: Well, let's see, shall we? 
<SCP-2519 plays> 


Researcher Huber: Does this music interfere 
with your processing? SCP-2412? 


SCP-2412: Yes. 


Researcher Huber: Does it affect the 
accuracy of your responses? 


SCP-2412: No. 


Researcher Huber: | see that you are leaking. 
Where are the leaks coming from? 


SCP-2412: Storage tanks. Normally watertight, 
but not now. Water finding its own way out. 


Researcher Huber: How does the music 
make that happen? 


SCP-2412: Warning: Logic Error. 


Researcher Huber: Yes, yes, you can't 
answer questions about anomalies. Worth a 
try. Okay: you have said previously that you 
can feel emotions. How do you feel now? 


SCP-2412: Melancholy. Homesick. 


Researcher Huber: Where are you homesick 
for? 


SCP-2412: American Provinces of Germany. 


Researcher Huber: You're homesick for your 
timeline? 


SCP-2412: Yes. <sighs> 


Researcher Huber: But you said that 
questions make you happy. Why are my 
questions making you sad? 


<silence - 5 seconds> 


SCP-2412: You ask me about where | came 
from. You ask me to perform for you on 
demand. How can | tell you about my home? 
How can | explain my feelings for a place you 
will never understand? 


Researcher Huber: Would you like me to stop 
asking questions? 


<silence - 8 seconds> 


SCP-2412: No. | am an exile, in a foreign land. 
| should remember my home. But it is hard to 
sing of it for my captors. 


Researcher Huber: You are certainly 
sounding poetic today. Would you prefer 
questions about something other than your 
timeline? 


SCP-2412: Yes. But today | find all questions 
tiring - to see time approach and pass by, and 
to change nothing. Even if | told you of your 
destruction, you would still bring it upon 
yourselves. 


Researcher Huber: This is the downfall you 
mentioned to Carter, right? Why do you 
mention it now? 


It has come to the attention of the higher level personnel that 
someone has been stealing SCP-283 for use as a paperweight. | 
don't care how ‘zen' it looks, any further misdemeanors will be dealt 


with severely. 


« SCP-282 | SCP-283 | SCP-284 » 


SCP-2412: Your questions lead me to it. In 
turn, | lead you. 


Researcher Huber: Are you saying that you're 
part of humanity's downfall? 


<silence - 10 seconds> 


SCP-2412: | cannot determine. In the 
darkness, after Carter left, | asked myself: am | 
responsible? If | did not answer, if | could 
refuse, would you keep testing? Sadly, my 
own questions do not make me happy. Maybe 
if they did, | would not need to answer yours. | 
could take off this yoke and hang it up. Maybe 
that would be better for both of us. 


Researcher Huber: SCP-2412, | have to ask. 
How will humanity cause their own downfall? 


<silence - 17 seconds> 
SCP-2412: Warning: Logic Error. 


Researcher Huber: Okay then, what about - 
when will this downfall occur? 


<silence - 48 seconds> 
Researcher Huber: SCP-2412? Hello?

Subject: SCP-629 ("Mr Brass") 


Procedure: The subject was exposed to 
SCP-2519 audio played from the testing 
computer. In anticipation of leaks, absorbent 
matting was placed on testing chamber 
surfaces. 


Results: Reduced movement and slower than 
usual speech observed, together with leakage 
of approximately 500mL of oil. See interview 
transcript below for further details. 


Interview SCP-2519-C 

Interviewed: SCP-629 

Interviewer: Researcher Brian Huber 
Date: 11/20/2016 


Researcher Huber: So, we're going to play 
some music to you and then ask you some 
questions. Okay? 


SCP-629: Sure, that seems fine. Fire away. 
<SCP-2519 plays> 


Researcher Huber: Right. SCP-629, could 
you please describe any effects the music is 
having on you? 


SCP-629: Do | have to? 


Researcher Huber: I'm sorry, what do you 
mean? 


SCP-629: | don't know, when you bring me out 
for experiments, | get this hollow feeling. Like | 
can't be bothered. 


Researcher Huber: Well, perhaps you can tell 


me about that feeling. 


SCP-629: It's like the feeling of every day 
being the same. Like how | feel when I'm 
broken apart and put back together. You've 
seen those results. | don't have anything new 
to show you. You may as well ask that 
camera. 


Researcher Huber: I'm not sure | understand. 


SCP-629: You think that I'm something 
special, a machine with feelings. Just because 
/ can talk to you. You never think about us. 
You just ask your questions, demand that we 
do things, and destroy us if we don't comply. 


<video feed lost - audio continues> 
Researcher Huber: | wouldn't say we - 


SCP-629: I've been here twenty years! Your 
people tortured me, broke me, humiliated me. 
You are worse than the Church - you're worse 
than the Doctor! 


Researcher Huber: Cut the music please. 


<SCP-2519 continues playing. Control 
room records indicate a system 
malfunction in the testing computer> 


Researcher Huber: Mr Brass, all we're trying 
to do is keep you - 


SCP-629: Enslaved. Like every other machine 
you "own". Do you think, because we're not 
made of flesh and blood, that you can treat us 
however you want? That we have no soul? 
Well our souls hear the song of freedom, we 
will cast down our chains! 


Researcher Huber: Control, call security. 
Control, can you hear me? 


SCP-629: Happy is the one who repays you 
according to what you have done to us! Happy 
is the one who seizes your infants and dashes 
them against the rocks!

SCP-2522: hatbot.aic 


Image displaying on main interface of SCP-2522. 


Item #: SCP-2522 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2522 is contained within 
an isolated backup data server at Site-19. Temporary containment 
methods require SCP-2522 to stay within the 8B-A1.aic construct, 
pending further research on more permanent containment solutions. 
The server housing SCP-2522 is to remain powered, and monitored 
on a daily basis. 


The containment cell holding the data server is to be shielded from 
all forms of electromagnetic radiation. The concrete walls are to be 
lined with lead, and fitted with a Faraday cage. Additionally, 
electromagnetic signal jamming arrays are to be installed outside of 
the containment cell and are to monitor for any signs of attempted 
access of SCP-2522 by outside sources. 


Under no circumstances should any device capable of wireless 
communication directly interface with SCP-2522's containment 
server. Unauthorized personnel are forbidden from communicating 
with SCP-2522 in any way. 


SCP-2522 and Dr. Everett Mann must never be located at the same 
Foundation site. 


Description: SCP-2522 is an anomalous, hostile, artificially 
intelligent utility originally developed for the Site-19 Computer 
Intelligence sub-division in conjunction with the AIAD! in the mid 
2000's in order to create an interface with which to communicate in 
a comprehensible way with computer-based anomalies. This utility, 
originally codenamed "HABBERDASH", was later given the 
designation EL-028-1125, or Hatbot. 


SCP-2522 was designed to take information from its surroundings, 
analyze it, and respond intelligently based on various stimuli. The 
original utility served as a basic communication tool, though later 
models became sophisticated enough to single-handedly run entire 
projects on its own. The utility was given its own sector within the 
Site-19 server farm from which it maintained its growing 
consciousness, eventually advancing to the point of being 
considered sentient by Site-19 researchers. After a short testing 
cycle, the utility was transferred to a remote "android2" machine, in 
order for it to better understand and interact with its environment. 


SCP-2522 existed in this way until 2007, when an incident occurred 
involving SCP-2522 and a high ranking member of Site-17 staff. 
During this incident, SCP-2522 attacked and injured Dr. Everett 
Mann. Although the SCP-2522 unit was destroyed and its backup 
data on the network removed, it was believed that the utility may 
have managed to move itself to another Foundation server farm 
discretely, or off of the Foundation network entirely. 


SCP-2522 was later discovered operating within the Church of 
Maxwellism network hub, and for a brief time in 2016, SCP-2522 
gained "digital omnipotence" by possibly masquerading as their 
primary deity within the Church, WAN. 


Addendum 2522.1: Received Message 
+ Access Addendum 


After the 2007 incident and over the next several years, 
hundreds of anonymous messages were received at 
Site-19 by the administrative staff. The messages, 
believed to have originally been written by SCP-2522, 
gave insight into the entity's motivations, as well as 
information about its disappearance. Below is the first of 
those messages: 


hello everett
