2/7226 LEVEL 2/7226CLASSIFIED |
 |
Item #: SCP-7226Object Class: Safe |
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-7226 is to be held within an observation room within Site-346’s medical wing. SCP-7226 is not to be within approximately six meters of any device capable of playing any digital media.
SCP-7226 may request entertainment that does not require any digital devices. Denial or approval depends on the request.
Testing has been permanently suspended as of 12/07/2022.
Description
SCP-7226 is a 23 year old human male1 SCP-7226 is capable of transporting itself into any form of digital media within six meters or less from its location. When SCP-7226 exits the media, physical distortions often develop both interally and externally. SCP-7226 will be forcefully ejected from the media it is currently in if the device is powered off.
At the time of discovery, SCP-7226 had the following physical distortions due to use of its ability:
- SCP-7226’s right forearm is difficult to perceive visually, and appears to constantly be in movement despite being stationary. It reports paresthesia in the effected limb.
- SCP-7226 has cataracts that constantly change between the colors white, yellow, cyan, bright green, fuchsia, red, and blue.
- Strands of SCP-7226's hair became permanently various shades of blue.
See the below test results for more information on SCP-7226's anomalous properties.
Addendum 1
Test Results V1
The following is a summary of information discovered upon initial testing. The full test logs are available upon request.
- SCP-7226 only affects the copy of said media it enters, not appearing in other copies opened at the same time.
- If there is not a place for SCP-7226 to naturally be inserted into the media, it will not be visible. Regardless, SCP-7226 can interact with the immediate surroundings in which an image was taken, even if said surroundings are not visible in the image.
- When SCP-7226 goes within any media online, the page will appear in the device's history. If it does not go into online media, it has been unable to determine what media it enters.
- SCP-7226 is still aware of its immediate surroundings within media, and is able to verbally respond to staff, even if it cannot be physically seen.
- At this point, it is unknown what exactly causes SCP-7226 to gain additional distortions.
The following list what online pages SCP-7226 entered:
- An account on the social media platform "Instagram" under the username "1nf1n1tyf0rev3r". The exact photos it entered are unknown.
- A research article on the possibility of resurrection.
- The Google Maps page for EverHaven park in Waukee, Iowa.
SCP-7226 displayed a series of behaviors that were noteworthy:
- While SCP-7226 initially cooperated with staff, this cooperative behavior dwindled over the course of the tests.
- SCP-7226 continued to ask staff about anomalies within Foundation possession. While it originally replied with understanding and vague dissatisfaction, it began to display aggression when not answered or denied information.
Test Results V2
No additional information on the inner workings of SCP-7226's abilities was gained from testing.
SCP-7226 returned with the following distortions:
- SCP-7226 reported experiencing visual and audio hallucinations. When asked what it hallucinated, it refused to answer.
- SCP-7226's speech began to audibly distort, causing syllables and words to be replaced by audio static. This effect worsens when the subject is emotional.
- All colors on and within SCP-7226’s immediate vicinity will distort, causing nearby colors to bleed into each other.
The testing session was quickly deemed ineffective, as SCP-7226 continuously disappeared from the media it was instructed to enter, failing to respond to staff. When SCP-7226 was forcefully ejected from the media, it responded with verbal aggression, accusing staff of lying to it.
This uncooperativeness made it difficult to properly analyze the full extent of its anomalous properties, and unable to observe what may be causing the distortions.
Addendum 2
Test Results V3
SCP-7226 was given access to its cellphone for testing purposes. SCP-7226 appeared reluctant to enter the device, expressing discomfort with its whereabouts being known.
To combat SCP-7226's habit of going into unknown media, it was decided to review the contents of the phone first. This was done in order to uncover any files or applications in which SCP-7226 could be hiding so Foundation staff could check said media during testing.
SCP-7226 was discovered in the following media:
Media: An image of a man2 at a park, found in a photo album titled "Us❤️".
Notes: SCP-7226 hugged the man. It returned with worsening color distortions on its arms and chest.
Media: An image of the same man from before sitting on a couch with a terrier on his right. Found in the same photo album from before.
Notes: SCP-7226 sat against the man. The blue distortion on SCP-7226's hair worsened. It is noted that the man is wearing a blue sweater in the image.
Media: A video of SCP-7226 and the man from before singing the chorus of "I And Love And You" filmed from SCP-7226's perspective.
Notes: SCP-7226 sang along, causing its vocal distortion to worsen by a significant amount, with the majority of its spoken words being replaced with audio static. SCP-7226 returned from the video with tears in its eyes. When SCP-7226 cried, the secretions appeared to be digitally pixelated, and the subject reported discomfort caused by their unusual sharpness. Additionally, SCP-7226 reported that its vision had worsened significantly, being primarily unable to see.
It was discovered that SCP-7226 only gains distortions when attempting to physically interact with media that it has emotional ties to (ie. Hugging a loved one in a photograph).
Testing was brought to an emergency stop. It was determined that it would be dangerous to SCP-7226's health to allow it to use its anomalous properties again, as damage appears to progress at a quickening pace upon each use.
SCP-7226's containment team has begun to analyze what causes each distortion in order to attempt to reverse the effects. As of current, nothing has been discovered.
SCP-7226 Psychological Testing
On 12/07/2022, a thorough psychological evaluation with SCP-7226 was conducted by Dr. Hart. The following are the results.
Foreword: As SCP-7226 has primarily lost the ability to speak and the ability to see, the following evaluation was conducted by analyzing past interviews and test results.
SCP-7226 to suffer from the following behavioral disruptions:
- Poor self esteem
- Post bereavement depression
- A general disregard for its own well being and safety
- Anger at staff for not allowing it to use its ability again
- No longer being willing to discuss its feelings with others
- A preference for social isolation
These behaviors have been worsened by the distortions caused by its anomaly. During the beginning of testing, SCP-7226 appeared to have a semblance of hope when informed of the endless possibilities of items within the Foundation's archive.
I believe that SCP-7226 may be afflicted by the following conditions:
- Major depressive disorder
- Prolonged grief disorder
I believe that SCP-7226's physical condition is worsening its mental condition. While efforts to cure its physical symptoms have been started, I believe that if we cannot find a way to reverse these effects within a timely manor, it may be needlessly cruel to keep it alive, especially if its condition continues to deteriorate at the current pace. Although, I don't favor this outcome, as I do believe that both physical and mental recovery is possible.
While communication is currently difficult for SCP-7226, I will provide therapeutic services for it in the best manor that I can.
I will be prescribing SCP-7226 20mg of Escitalopram (Lexapro) for its mental condition.
Interview Log 3
The following was conducted in order to further assess treatment option for SCP-7226. Dr. Hart attempted to converse with SCP-7226 three times previously, but it refused to engage in conversation.
