| ITEM: SCP-8034 | LEVEL 2/8034 |
| CLASS: euclid | restricted |
SCP-8034 is to be contained at Site-322 in a steel shipping container fitted with a SRA attached to the anomalous vehicle's roof. All requests for neutralization from SCP-8034-1 are to be denied.
SCP-8034 has been allowed one wall-mounted speaker that continuously plays a praying mantis hiss as a comfort item.
SCP-8034 refers to a 1983 Mitsubishi Chariot compact minivan.
SCP-8034 is operated by an artificial general intelligence bot (SCP-8034-1) that communicates through an 180 mm x 100mm CRT computer monitor. The monitor is housed in the double-DIN radio slot of the anomaly’s dashboard. The lower half of a Motorola Razr mobile flip phone has been mounted directly adjacent to the monitor and functions as a keyboard for users to interact with SCP-8034-1. SCP-8034-1 will only communicate through text displayed on the monitor.
When the occupant's death will occur within the week SCP-8034 will teleport from its default resting location. It is believed this location is an extra-temporal Dave & Buster's. SCP-8034 will appear approximately 3 - 5 miles from an individual and begin to immediately drive towards them. A trigger to the anomaly appearing before an individual, other than its approaching death, has not been concretely determined. However, most reports have suggested that someone requested transport through a rideshare application.
Once the individual enters the minivan, SCP-8034-1 will offer to instantly kill the individual. The occupant is then prompted to tap the “Answer” button for yes or the "Hang-up" button for no on the attached Razr keyboard.
- If the individual taps the answer button they will immediately disappear from known, baseline reality.
- If the individual does not agree it is teleported outside the vehicle and back to its original location prior to the interaction. Following its return, the individual has not been known to survive longer than a week.
The glove compartment of SCP-8034 contains organic tissue and bone anatomically similar in size and shape to human mouth-parts. Upon investigation (SEE AD-3), researchers no longer believe it to be associated with SCP-8034-1. Research into the purpose of this tissue and its reason for existing is still ongoing.
The following is a transcription of an interview between Researcher Nyquist and SCP-8034-1 within its containment chamber at Site-322. The researcher has opened the driver-side door but remains standing outside the vehicle.
R: Excuse me, are you able to hear me?
T: *Hic* Y.
R: I am stating for the record that SCP-8034-1 has displayed asterisks H-I-C asterisks on the monitor and that this was not an audible sound. I’m only to assume that this is its name.
R: Thank you for confirming. H.I.C. Do you know where you are, currently?
T: I am Terminal.
R: H.I.C, you are not at an airport terminal. You are located in a shipping container inside SCP Foundation Site-322. Let the record note that the A.I. has poor sentence structure and likely has poor global-positioning capabilities.
T: No, my name is Terminal; dumbass. [REDACTED]° [REDACTED]´[REDACTED]" *Hic*
R: *Ahem*
SkipCAP Note: *Ahem* was an audible sound.
T: Am I dead? Did I do it?
R: My apologies, Terminal. You are not dead. Where do the occupants who press the “Answer Call” button go?
T: How am I to know? When they disappear, I return to the Dave & Buster's. Immobilized on a raffle stage next to a sign that says “Win Me”. This is my death. The only sound is the droning hiss. *hic*
R: Why is there a droning hiss?
T: It's from a game next to my stage. It’s called “Blow me and find out”.
R: Please refrain from insulting me, Terminal. I’m required by Foundation protocol to interview you.
T: No, it’s true. It’s a giant, plastic I think, praying mantis ear.
R: Hmm, and what are the win conditions of this game?
T: I’ve never found out. *Hic*
R: *Sigh*
SkipCAP Note: *Sigh* was an audible sound.
R: Let’s refocus. The individuals that you, essentially, kill. Do they show up at the Dave & Buster’s?
T: There is no one there. Weren’t you listening? I don’t know where they go. It’s just me, and the big ear. Two mantises in a watch. But it can’t read and I can’t talk. *hic* So it’s just me.
SkipCap Note: A beeping pager is heard.
R: Thank you for your time Terminal. We can pick this up at a later date.
T: You’re coming back?

Note: SCP-8034 later requested a speaker playing a recreation of the sound effect from “Blow me and Find Out” on a continuous loop. This was approved by the site director.
R: This is Researcher Nyquist, November 7th the time is…15:00. Individual log entry, miscellaneous note, remember to bring lunch tomorrow. Cafeteria food is, subpar.
R: I’ve completed the initial interview with SCP-8034-1 and the inspection of SCP-8034. Action items moving forward are to begin testing to further develop an understanding of its capabilities.
R: Curious if the location of its disappearing occupants can be determined. End Log.
SkipCAP Note: A button is half pressed.
R: Stay focused and do this by the book. I can’t help but see promotion on the horizon. This existential burden of care has been unwillingly thrust onto my shoulders. I am a reluctant Atlas. If I solve this afterlife equation, Montague might as well stay on vacation forever. Hold it steady girl.
R ..Oh
SkipCAP Note: Log Recorded.

CASE TITLE: SCP-8034
Inspector: Researcher Helen Nyquist
Anomalous: Y
Date (DD/MM/YYYY) & Time: 06/11/2024, 05:00 UTC-[REDACTED]
Site#: 322
RELEVANT FINDINGS:
- A shifting number of “Pabst Blue Ribbon” brand beer bottles found discarded in the rear cabin.
- Headlights of vehicle remain on in addition to the CRT Monitor despite the fact that the vehicle’s 2.0L engine is not running.
- No batteries for either the CRT Monitor or the vehicle itself were discovered
- The glove compartment of SCP-8034 contains organic tissue and bone anatomically similar in size and shape to human mouth-parts.
- Neither vocal cords nor esophagus discovered upon interior inspection.
- The tissue appears to be moving in a fashion similar to mouthing words. Motions remain consistent and repetitive.
- The words the tissue appear to be continuously mouthing are “kiss me” -HN require further confirmation.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- During the inspection SCP-8034-1 was asked why there were mouth parts in the glove compartment. Entity responded “There’s a what, where?”
- Mouth parts have been determined to not play any role in SCP-8034-1’s alcohol consumption.
- Research into the purpose and reason for the mouth parts existence is ongoing and inconclusive at time of inspection.
Test Number: T8034-1
Subject: D-4273
Researcher: Helen Nyquist
Date: 10/11/2024
Valuable Equipment: Hume Counter, SkipCAP MOLECAM -(Ammendment by Legal)
Purpose: Define SCP-8034 Hume Readings and gather data on interior.
Hume Readings:
Findings:
The interior of SCP-8034 is not effected by the SRA. SCP-8034 cannot terminate its occupant unless its death is predetermined. My theory is that SCP-8034 can only look so far ahead. That amount of time is unclear.
8 days following Test: T8034-1, an incident occurred in D-4273’s cell which led to the death of one Foundation security officer and a D-Class. A SkipCAP MOLECAM was later discovered on the D-Class's corpse after the incident. This initially went undiscovered due to it being the size of a single water molecule.
D-4273: I’m telling you, I almost died. Like, the lady said I was going to get “terminated’.
SkipCAP Note: D-3012 seems to be meditating.
D-3012: A lot of people who come here Ben, are just passing through. Pretty much all of us die here.
Ben: This is a prison Sam. This isn’t some existential transient place. It’s a prison. AND-they don’t even tell you…they don’t even tell you! The guy that offered me a- he called it…a work program. He didn’t say, “Oh, you’re signing up to go to a prison!”. They just say “It’s. Dangerous.”. No, a crosswalk is dangerous…
SkipCAP Note: Ben paces around the cell.
Sam: Yeah, I’ve been here Ben..like…2 years, I think. It’s tough for everyone. You’ve been here what, a month? There’s no getting out of here. That's a hard truth. I've accepted that, and I hope that you can. Try to settle in and make the best of it, I guess.
Ben: Make the best of what? A pillow that’s nailed to the floor? Why would they nail it down? Isn’t it more dangerous to bring nails into the equation then just leaving a pillow alone?! They offered me 80k, they told me it “was dangerous”. Yeah bullshit, I won’t make it long enough to see that 80k. They put me in prison for being poor and I’m never going to even see my kid again. What a fucking nightmare.
SkipCAP Note: Sam remains in meditation.
Sam: They shouldn’t put you on anything too murder-ee if you didn’t come from a real prison. Look, however you decide to deal with this it’s not going to change. How is freaking out serving you?
Ben: It’s worth freaking out over Sam. I’m not going to move on about it. Where can I even move on to?!
SkipCap Note: A slap is heard, Ben hits the wall.
Ben: I’m gonna die, I’m going t-
SkipCap Note: Walking is heard outside the cell. Two pairs of boots I think.
Sam: Shhh!
SkipCap Note: I was right. It's two guards. Guard A steps in front of Ben.
Guard A: D-4273 you are to present for testing c-
Ben: NO! Let me out of here, I don’t want to be here anymore!
Guard A: When I finish this sentence you will have two seconds to comply.
Guard A: Two, O-
SkipCap Note: Dust spits from the wall behind Ben, Guard A drops to the floor.
SkipCap Note: Guard B Immediately fires.
SkipCap Note: Ben.

R: Terminal, I’ve spent all my goodwill. Be my bank and just answer my question.
T: Your bank is rupt.
R: Oh my god. I'm screwed
SkipCAP Note: A can is opened.
T: Maybe they go nowhere, you should be telling me the answer. Scientist. You can’t do your job and so I still suffer. So who's really doing the screwing?
R: Why is there a tongue in your glovebox?
T: A weird time to ask that question.
R: I think I just want an answer to any question.
T: What is it doing there is a better one. I can’t talk, or drink, or taste with it.
R: But did you know it was there?
T: Not until it was pointed out by you, no.
SkipCAP Note: There is silence for a time.
SkipCAP Note: …
SkipCAP Note: …
SkipCAP Note: I think I’m scared.
SkipCAP v.024.7: We all are.
R: I think I’m fucked.
