SCP-1981

SCP-1981 ("RONALD REAGAN CUT UP WHILE TALKING") is a Betamax tape that recorded the Evil Empire speech given by President Ronald Reagan on 8 March 1983 in Orlando, Florida. However, this recording depicts extreme deviations from the original speech, including references to future events, Reagan slowly being lacerated over the course of the video, and appearances by SCP-1981-1.
==History==
===Origins===
Despite an investigation by the SCP Foundation into 1981, nothing is known about its creation, though it eventually ended up at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.
===Discovery===
In 1991, a filing clerk working at the Presidential Library encountered SCP-1981, initially reporting it to the police with intentions to press obscenity charges upon the creator. After the police arrived, a low-level investigation was conducted and the Foundation was made aware of the tape. It was soon secured, with amnestics administered to all witnesses. 1986 was classified as Safe, being stored at Site-73 for containment and future testing.
===1993 viewing by Robinson, Rodriguez and Tate===
===1993 recording===
In a recording of the tape made in 1993, President Ronald Reagan spoke about how a study revealed how Americans were more open to cannibalism than before, stated the numbers seven, twelve, and eighteen, and that America would stop al-Qaeda. 
After applause, Reagan continued, stating cryptically that he saw "we [were] being consumed." Further statements regarding the moral fabric of the country having been eaten, and that Reagan himself was a "kingdom level" above a human. After further applause, Reagan was cut further, with his left arm being severed. The tape devolved into static after Reagan spoke about Americans being eaten by the void.
===1994 viewing by Reagan and aftermath===
===1996 recording===
In a recording of the tape made in 1996, Reagan spoke of his travels across the United States and the horrific things he saw, describing it as Hell. The audience laughed at this remark, to Reagan's chagrin, though he eventually continued. He spoke of indescribable truths, before his head was fully bisected from the invisible cuts.
===2002 recording===
Little is known of this recording, as the O5 Council has restricted the tape to Level 6 access.
===2005 recording===
In a recording of the tape made in 2005, the only entity that appears is SCP-1981-1. It stared into the camera before a cut to a single frame intertitle with "I SEE YOU" in red text. The tape soon ended, with protocol afterward stating that communication with 1981-1 in any further appearances not to be attempted.
==Alternate realities==
===Quiet Days===
After the anomalous was wiped from existence, SCP-1981 reverted to a normal taping of the Evil Empire speech by Ronald Reagan.
