Speaker 1 (00:05):
This is data Specialist standers of the Data Redundancy Project
SCP six twelve Object classes EUCLID Special containment procedures. All
specimens of SCP six twelve are to be kept in
containment cell redacted, in site redacted, attached to sockets appropriate
to their form. The walls, floor and ceiling of the

(00:27):
chamber will be checked for physical breach every fifteen minutes.
An electric meter installed outside the cell will remain connected
to a remote monitor. Any significant power flux is to
be logged and reported immediately to doctor redacted, as well
as on site maintenance personnel. Testing indicates that a one
M solution of aqueous sodium chloride stunts SAP six twelve,

(00:49):
rendering it temporarily inert. Therefore, a delivery system is to
remain charged and ready for immediate use. Weekly testing is mandatory.
The walls of the containment cell are too beligned with
conductive metallic mesh permanently connected to ground, and the cell's
exit is to be charged with a potential exceeding one kilovolt.
All power to the cell is to be generated locally

(01:11):
to prevent SP six twelve from accessing the primary grid.
As SEP six twelve's containment is not yet complete. All
personnel are advised to keep alert for any cable which
exhibits unusual activity, including but not limited to unexplained power flux,
unstimulated movement, and data expunged July nine redacted. All personnel

(01:34):
assigned to SCP six twelve must wear Faraday suits capable
of discharging an electric potentially in excess of two kilovolts.
Description instances of SCP six twelve present as electrical cables
of various types. Any variety of cable can potentially play
host to SCP six twelve, but its preferred method of

(01:55):
attack leads it to favor power and network cables. SEP
six to twelve is in its dormant state, simply piled
on the ground. It prefers to hide in dark, warm
places or to be attached to appropriate sockets. Apart from
its sentience and capability for movement, it displays a slightly
higher specific electrical resistance than ordinary cables of its type.

(02:17):
Current measurements indicate a redacted percent higher home reading. Analysis
of a neutralized instance of SCP six twelve reveals the
materials to be virtually identical in composition to regular cables
of that type, save for trace amounts of gold spread
throughout the cable, other shape memory alloy constituents, and further
traces of yet unidentified elements. The impurities are arranged regularly

(02:41):
in a microcrystalline structure. SEP. Six twelve will not attack
unless it is provoked. However, SEP. Six twelve interprets any
attempt to move it harshly to be provocation, regardless of intent.
If such a movement detaches SCP six twelve from its socket,
should it be attached to one, SCP six twelve becomes rigid,

(03:02):
swaying in the air before lunging at its attacker, suffocating
it in a manner of a constructor. After its attack, SEP.
Six twelve will return to its socket. Should SEP six
twelve remain connected even partially to a power source, its
tactic will change, using electricity as a means of warding
off or stunning the attacker. Network cables hosting SCP six

(03:24):
twelve have a much different result see Incident Report six twelve. One.
Testing shows that, even when connected to a standard US
power socket, SEP six twelve is capable of unleashing a
charge in excess of redacted killivolts. It is currently unknown
how SCP six twelve accomplishes this, but preliminary research suggests

(03:45):
it is related to its unusual internal structure, specifically data expunged,
thus storing charge. Current models predict that SCP six twelve
is directly responsible for roughly redacted percent of domestic incidents
involving electtion tricity adnum six twelve one. Three specimens of
SCP six twelve have been found attached to the same

(04:07):
peripheral in the server room of site redacted. It has
since been verified that SEP six twelve multiplies by gradually
affecting regular cables connected in any way to it. Containment
procedures have been updated accordingly. Incident reports six twelve one.
During domestication testing, as outlined in Data Expunged, the assigned

(04:28):
D class personnel tripped and fell, partly pulling out a
specimen attached to an industrial high voltage socket. The specimen
broke containment and attacked the D class with a brief
high voltage arc, inducing immediate cardiac arrest. Exhibiting behavior atypical
of specimens collected thus far, SCP six twelve shed its
plastic plug and lunged at D four three one seven four,

(04:52):
embedding the bare copper in his throat. The electrical current
caused the corpse to seize twenty three distinct times, starting
at the point of impact and spreading towards the extremities
in a fashion distinct from regular electrocution. The spasms continued
for three minutes, after which time the victim remained motionless
for a further ten minutes. Agents were ordered to recover

(05:15):
the body and prepare it for autopsy. During preparations for autopsy,
the coroner noted that the victim's heart was still beating.
Upon remandment to the ICU, it was discovered that the
heartbeat was erratic, not indicative of life. Additionally, brain function
had ceased, replaced with electrical discharges. Currently theorized to be

(05:35):
data expunged, recommend continuing observation. Sometime over the previous night,
the body of D four three one seven four, henceforth
reclassified as CCP six twelve one, began extruding fibrous ropey
tissue from its extremities, most notably from its nail beds.
Visual analysis of this tissue suggests it is primarily data expunged.

(05:59):
These tissues piled around SCP six twelve one's feet until
the pile reached data expunged, suggesting that all tissue had
been expelled from the body. SEP six twelve one began
to shutterer violently, then collapsed as its spinal cord pulled
itself out of its body. Shortly thereafter, SEP six twelve
Dash one began to data expunged, whereupon the test chamber

(06:22):
was remotely incinerated. Recommend all personnel were conductive mesh suits
to be designated Faraday suits when interacting with SEP six
twelve A Dendum six twelve Dash two. A favorable reaction
from the SEP has been obtained by stimulating it with
physical contact coupled with electrical signals at a frequency of
one to four hertz akin to delta waves of deep sleep.

(06:46):
The SEP appears to move in a vaguely swaying, calm manner,
responding with brushing the contacting subject. Furthermore, signals peaking at
two hundred megavolts and resembling the pattern of muscle signals
in a nervous system have been registered at the ends
of the cable. Analysis of additional underlying signals is under study,

(07:07):
it might be useful to investigate the possibility of data
expunged for exploitation. You can get all my episodes add
