SCP-12858

SCP - 12858

Level 4 [Secret]

Object Class: Keter

Subclass: DMR

Disruption Class: Ekhi

Risk Class: Danger

Special Containment Procedures: Originally, there were two (2) separate containment procedures, which were dependent on what ever form SCP-12858 was presently taking. However, after recent review, planning, and approval by the Containment Oversight Committee, a new containment procedure was made and is updated as follows...

SCP-12858 is to be stored on a 64Gℚb 4𝔇 Gate drive connected to a MSI - Titan GT77 HX (As per O5-13's request). Under **zero** circumstances is SCP-12858 to be connected to the internet. SCP-12858 is to be stored at ARF-108's [Project Deepwell] (1.27Km below sea level). No electronic devices are to be brought within 100m of its containment cell. Cameras with 100-500mm range can be installed to monitor the SCP, and subsequent monitoring equipment can be set up too, as long as its outside the 100m Red Zone. Specifically, SCP-12858's cell is to measure 18.3m x 24.4m x 3m, with nothing but a bed and its laptop, connected to an independent power supply, to prevent another possible breach. Lily, an Automated Intelligence System [Courtesy of Jessica Miller], is to be installed into ARF-108's Intranet to monitor for, flag, and recontain any possible breaches by SCP-12858. SCP-12858 is free to roam the facility, only if escorted by 3 members of Rho-9 or Lily.

Description: SCP-12858 aka Dimitri, is an aggressive electronic intelform. This anomaly exhibits diverse attributes and abilities across domains conceptual, digital, and physical. Its precise nature has yet to be determined. It was a virus program designed and created by [REDACTED] and was known as the "Cardinal Attack Protocol: A hackers personal assassin". A hyper-sentient AI with malicious tendencies, allegedly scripted by the programmer, basically made to get maximum revenge on people who wronged you. How it got its cognitiohazard abilities is unknown, and the developer refuses to comment.

SCP-12858 is the visual and sometimes physical depiction of its own infosignature. Informational entities are characterized by these 'digital footprints', the unique makeup of data structures defining their utility,  behavior, and physicality. SCP-12858 will inhabit and become synonymous with any accurate image of this conceptual data gathered by its memory of its commonly used physical form. If a complete depiction is projected, reflected, or otherwise displayed upon any surface, that depiction is SCP-12858 and carries all associated attributes. If the image is refracted, distorted, or otherwise inaccurate, but still depicts the core conceptual structures of SCP-12858, the anomaly may still manifest and reconstruct lost or corrupted data itself via unknown processes.

Furthermore, SCP-12858 is a perceptual isolate: at any given time, precisely one complete image/instance of the anomaly exists. The isolate is observed to 'jump' between media, with its prior depiction losing sufficient resemblance (and the corresponding anomalous properties) at the exact moment of its realization in a new depiction. Attempts to artificially reproduce SCP-12858's image in controlled environments typically fail, with reproductions developing inexplicable errors and inaccuracies before the anomaly can even imperfectly manifest.

The 'jumping' phenomenon extends beyond standard optical projection, allowing SCP-12858 to directly propagate across mechanical/digital systems with sufficient display capabilities. The anomaly appears to possess some degree of control over its host medium and any interconnected systems, dependent on their capacity to symbolize and compute abstract data.

As for SCP-12858's pure physical form, it likes to take on the form on an anthropomorphic black cat with gradient red-orange hair, glowing orange eyes, sharp teeth, glowing red claws and other markings... with its chipset half implanted on its chest.

Recovery Log: SCP-12858 was found in the Southern Sectors, Delta District (formerly San Francisco, CA) following a city wide blackout and the death of ██████ people. Its origin came from an abandoned apartment laptop belonging to [Name Redacted As Per O5-13's Orders]. Given SCP-12858 very unstable and violent actions, multiple MTF teams were sent, which include:

Kappa-10

Mu-4

Rho-9

and Pi-1.

SCP-12858 was eventually captured and transported to ARF-108, where it instantly gained access to its systems and caused a site-wide breach which lasted 7 Hours and 52 Minutes and resulted in ███ fatalities. Eventually, upon negotiations with Containment Oversight, the Ethics Board, SCP-12858 itself, and [REDACTED], an agreement was reached pertaining to SCP-12858's containment, cooperation, and privileges, and chose to stay voluntarily.

Addendum #001:

I will keep it short, SCP-6210-1, SCP-2317-K, and [REDACTED] are the only three, non-research entities that are allowed to interact with SCP-12858 freely. I highly suggest not to object or question.
