==History==
===Capture and testing===
At some point, the SCP Foundation acquired SCP-978, storing it in security locker H-J-12 at Site-17. In May of a year in either the late 20th or early 21st centuries, SCP-978 was tested on various people, including research assistants James ██████, ██████ █████, ███ ██████, and doctors █ █████ and ████████.
█████ believed that the tests went well, save for a few unsavory results. The tests continued onto animals, including a dog and its handler, mice, a rabbit, and various other beings. Following this, 978 was tested on many humanoid SCPs and prominent Foundation staff, including Dr. Charles Gears, Dr. Jack Bright, Site Director Jean Karlyle Aktus, and Dr. Alto Clef.SCP-978 Extended Test Logs
===SCP-978===
After SCP-4999 appeared to a bedridden Stage IV cancer patient at ████████ Hospital, someone holding SCP-978 took a picture of 4999 smoking a cigarette next to the patient. The Polaroid produced from 978 showed the patient standing next to a man, while 4999 was missing from the image.
===SCP-2273===
978 was used on SCP-2273-1, capturing him sitting on a bunk reading a novel. In the photo, it showed two European men working on a farm as three women watched. While four of the oldest looked to be related, the youngest woman was seemingly identified as SCP-191 without her cybernetics.
==Anomalous properties ==
SCP-978, when photographing living beings, does not print out pictures that show the time of capture; instead, they show the photographed being(s)' desire(s). The printed desires can be very random, from a person's deepest hopes and dreams to simply an impulse they're feeling at the moment. It can be very simple or an extremely elaborate change. If two beings are photographed together, their desires mix.
