company. The object shows very little damage or wear despite its 
age. Despite the object's obsolete parts, it has shown to be capable 
of receiving signals and playing with a consistently high quality of 
sound, with very little noise or interference. Additionally, SCP-1283 
is capable of functioning even when switched off, without any 
apparent source of power. Inspection of the internal mechanisms of 
the object reveal parts consistent with other radios of identical make 
and model. 


SCP-1283's anomalous effects become apparent when a person, 
hereafter referred to as the subject, listens to it for more than fifteen 
(15) minutes, regardless of what frequency the radio is tuned to. 
When said amount of time has passed, anything playing on the radio 
at that time will become silent, and a voice, hereafter referred to as 


SCP-1283-1, will address the subject by name. Invariably, the voice 
utilized by SCP-1283-1 belongs to someone known to the subject. 
Testing has observed SCP-1283-1 belonging to close friends, 
parents, spouses, authority figures, and on one occasion, a news 
anchor from the Network. On occasion, the voice used by 
SCP-1283-1 has been that of a deceased person. Interviews 
suggest that the voice chosen by SCP-1283-1 belongs to whomever 
the subject considers to be the most trustworthy. Attempting to 
manipulate the frequency, volume, or AM-FM settings of the radio 
after SCP-1283-1 has begun speaking produces no results. 


After SCP-1283-1 has gained the subject's attention, it instructs 
them to listen carefully. At this stage the subject will begin to focus 
exclusively on SCP-1283, and will resist attempts to distract them 
from it. SCP-1283-1 will then provide the subject with information 
regarding an upcoming event. All information provided by 
SCP-1283-1 to a subject will be referred to as SCP-1283-2. 
SCP-1283-2 occurs in three individual phases, each prefaced by a 
distinct phrase that has been present across all testing. The three 
phases appear to have nothing connecting them, and only currently 
affected subjects display any awareness of meaning. 


Description of SCP-1283-2: The first phase is prefaced with the 
question "Do you remember" and involves SCP-1283-1 prompting 
the subject to remember a specific person, object or event. This 
phase, like SCP-1283-1, has shown to have personal relevance to 
the subject, either directly or indirectly.1 Subjects display no difficulty 
recalling this information, regardless of obscurity. 


The second phase, prefaced with the statement "Something bad is 
going to happen,” involves SCP-1283-1 giving a warning to the 
subject. To outside listeners, this warning is cryptic, meaningless, 
and appears to bear no relation to the first phase. However, no test 
subject has expressed confusion in regards to the warning. Instead, 
subjects react with initial shock and surprise, followed by increasing 
levels of anxiety. Despite distress, subjects continue to resist 
attempts to stop them from listening to SCP-1283. 


The final phase of SCP-1283-2 is prefaced with the statement "You 
can stop it." Here, SCP-1283-1 delivers a set of instructions to the 
subject, with an assurance that following them will stop the 


threatened event. The instructions vary from simplistic and easily 
performed to complex and dangerous, and no discernible pattern 
has been observed. After instructions have been given, SCP-1283-1 
becomes silent, and expected programming will resume. At this 
point, the subject's anxiety will have grown into a severe panic, and 
they will indicate an intense desire to perform the instructions 
presented to them and avert the threatened event. Attempts to stop 
the subject from doing so has resulted in pleading, threats, and in 
some cases, violent resistance. 


Addendum 1283-1: If subjects are allowed to successfully complete 
the given instructions, their panicked state dissipates, and subjects 
typically report feelings of intense relief. Observation suggests that 
subjects act with above average calm and reasoning abilities in 
future panic situations.2 Interviewed subjects report retention of 
memories of the radio conversation, but any questions regarding the 
warning given in the second section of SCP-1283-2 elicit only 
confused responses. No subject has been able to determine any 
connection between the prompted memory and the warning. 


In the event that a subject is kept from performing the given 
instructions for an extended period of time, their panic will 
continuously increase, until the subject proves inconsolable and 
displays a single-minded drive to follow the instructions. However, 
these effects have proven reversible. Heavy sedation and Class-A 
amnestics used in conjunction have proven effective in countering 
the effects of listening to SCP-1283. Subjects dealt with in this 
manner do not display any desire to perform the given instructions, 
but have shown to be more susceptible to anxiety and panic. 


+ SCP-1283 Test Log 


Note: The identity of the voice used by SCP-1283-1 is 
determined either through post-test interviews with the 
subject, or inference from subject dialogue towards 
SCP-1283-1. While it is common for subjects to speak to 
SCP-1283-1, at no point has SCP-1283-1 responded to 
a subject's statements or questions. For this reason, 
testing logs will exclude Subject transcripts. 


Test-1283-01 


Subject: D-20283 

Voice of SCP-1283-1: "Julia," D-20283's wife. 

Record of SCP-1283-2: 

Phase 1:"Do you remember your first car?" 

Phase 2:"Something bad is going to happen. The well is 
going to run dry." 

Phase 3:"You can stop it. You need to break a plate." 
Results: Subject displayed expected panic. Subject was 
allowed a glass plate with which to follow instructions. 
After throwing the plate to the ground, Subject's panic 
subsided quickly.

five people." 

Results: Subject displayed expected panic, and was 
allowed access to some food and basic cookware to 
follow the instructions. Subject successfully prepared a 
simple meal fit for five people, and the panic subsided as 
expected. However, the Subject suffered multiple burns 
and cuts due to their panicked state and careless 
methods.

the test. 


<Begin Log, T+12:19> 


D-24019: Doc, are you sure this is worth 
studying? | mean, | don't mind listening to 
music, | just don't see how this is at all 
meaningful. 


Dr. Ivan : Just keep listening, D-24019, 
we're almost done here.

SCP-1284: The Moon's Child Bride 


Item #: SCP-1284 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1284-1 (currently 
SCP-1284-1/8) is to be contained in standard-sized humanoid living 
quarters at Bio-Research Area-12, fitted with grow lamps that cover 
a sun-equivalent light spectrum in addition to normal lighting fixtures. 
There are to be no windows in its living space, and, should a 
situation arise where SCP-1284-1 must be moved through or into 
any space with windows, those windows must be completely 
blacked out by any means available. Under no circumstances is 
SCP-1284-1 to be exposed to direct moonlight, as defined as a 
direct line of sight between any part of SCP-1284-1's body and an 
illuminated portion of the moon. 


Under normal circumstances, SCP-1284-1 is to be kept on a 
vegetarian diet, given three meals per day, and may request one 
snack between meals. Following an SCP-1284-2 formation event, 
SCP-1284-1 is to be fed Formula 1284-A by nasogastric feeding 
tube and exposed to a sunlight-equivalent light spectrum for 15 
minutes out of every hour until it has fully regenerated all four limbs 
and is capable of self-locomotion. There is to be at least one nurse 
on call at all times, to help SCP-1284-1 relocate its shoulders and/or 
hips should they become dislocated outside of an SCP-1284-2 
formation event. 


SCP-1284-1 is to be kept on hormonal treatments to delay the onset 
of puberty as long as possible, and tranquilisers to reduce the 
likelihood of an SCP-1284-2 formation event. Blood samples are to 
be taken at random intervals no longer than one month and no 
shorter than five days, tested for hormone levels, and SCP-1284-1's 
medication dosage adjusted accordingly. A psychological evaluation 
is to be performed biweekly. Once hormone treatments have begun, 
SCP-1284-1 is to be kept on continuous suicide watch. 


Any media SCP-1284-1/8 is exposed to must be pre-screened, to 
ensure that it does not contain any objects, animals, or depictions 
thereof found listed on Documents 1284-06-A or -B/8. 


Should SCP-1284-1 expire for any reason, Protocol 1284-Alpha is to 
be executed immediately to identify the new SCP-1284-1 and pull it 
from the general population. 


Outside of testing, all instances of SCP-1284-2 are to be destroyed 
via exposure to sun-equivalent light spectrum. The remaining cell 
slurry is non-anomalous, and may be disposed of in whatever 
manner is most expedient. 


Description: SCP-1284-1 is a series of premenarchal female 
humans that have undergone severe, permanent, and apparently- 
spontaneous alteration in physiology and psychology. Only one 
living instance of SCP-1284-1 has ever been located at one time, 
but the global nature of the anomaly makes definite confirmation 
impractical. 


All instances of SCP-1284-1 can be considered to suffer from a 
unique psychosis, fully described in Document 1284-01-A. 
SCP-1284-1 has smaller than normal ball heads in its hip and 
shoulder joints, allowing them to luxate easily, but a positive 
identification requires confirmation of sphincters in the surrounding 
blood vessels, or direct observation of an SCP-1284-2 formation 
event. 


SCP-1284-1 does not, and possibly cannot, respond to either its 
designation or its birth name, but will answer to any fair 
approximation of "Moon's Bride" in apparently any language, even if 
it has no knowledge of the language in question.
