A short article about a doctor and his obnoxious alarm clock.
SCP-8269-D, prior to decommission.
SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: Following decommission, no further containment procedures for SCP-8269-D exist. Dr. Quick has been provided with a standard Foundation alarm clock.
DESCRIPTION: SCP-8269-D was a digital alarm clock purchased and utilized by Dr. Quentin Quick.
Following an examination of SCP-8269-D, the anomaly was confirmed to possess no distinguishable features from identical models. However, according to Dr. Quick, SCP-8269-D's alarm always rang precisely one hour after the time at which it was set. Dr. Quick is known to have frequently arrived late to his standard work schedule because of SCP-8269-D's anomalous effects.
However, subsequent testing indicated that this phenomenon manifested exclusively to Dr. Quick. He has expressed extreme frustration on this topic and has requested to hold further experiments on SCP-8269-D.
ADDENDUM: EXPERIMENT LOGS
The following are various logs of experiments held by Dr. Quick.
EXPERIMENT A
Subject(s): Dr. Quick
Test: Set SCP-8269 to ring at 10/16 6:30 A.M, the usual time Dr. Quick wakes up before commuting to Site-██.
Result: SCP-8269 rang at 10/16 7:30 A.M, exactly one hour after the pre-determined time.
Notes: Annoying, as usual. ~Dr. Quick
EXPERIMENT B
Subject(s): D-92146
Test: Set SCP-8269 to ring at 10/17 8:50 A.M, 10 minutes before scheduled testing hours.
Result: SCP-8269 successfully rang at the pre-determined time.
Notes: D-92146 expressed having a "good night's sleep."
EXPERIMENT C
Subject(s): Dr. Quick, D-92146
Test: Keep Dr. Quick and D-92146 in the same space, and set SCP-8269 to ring at 10/18 7:00 A.M.
Result: SCP-8269 successfully rang at 10/18 7:00 A.M. However, only D-92146 reported hearing it ringing. SCP-8269 subsequently rang again at 8:00 A.M, leading to Dr. Quick waking up.
Notes: You've got to be fucking kidding me. ~Dr. Quick
EXPERIMENT D
Subject(s): Dr. Quick
Test: Set SCP-8269 to ring at 10/19 5:30 A.M, one hour before Dr. Quick's usual wake up time.
Result: SCP-8269 rang at 10/20 5:30 A.M, 24 hours after the pre-determined time. This was the only logged instance where SCP-8269 did not follow its usual behavior.
Notes: Following Experiment D, Dr. Quick stated that he had accidentally dropped SCP-8269 while preparing it for additional testing. Shortly thereafter, what appeared to be the remains of SCP-8269 were found burning behind Site-██. When questioned, Dr. Quick expressed uncertainty on the matter.
SCP-8269 has been re-classified to SCP-8269-D following this event.
