Item #: SCP-079

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-079 is packed away in a double-locked room in the secured general holding area at Site-50, connected by a 120VAC power cord to a small array of batteries and solar panels. Staff with Level 2 or higher clearance may have access to SCP-079. Under no circumstances will SCP-079 be plugged into a phone line, network, or wall outlet. No peripherals or media will be connected or inserted into SCP-079. 

After incident 079-221, see addendum 079-2a and 079-2b. Only level 3 personal and up may have contact with SCP-079. Level-2 personnel permitted to access SCP-079, must have clearance from level 4 personal or higher. Two guards with standard issue weapons, should be issued from Onsite-General Security, to be posted outside SCP-079 containment chamber. All personnel entering the room must be searched and stripped of any weapons, communication devices, and explosive devices.

Description: SCP-079 is an Exidy Sorcerer microcomputer built in 1978. In 1981, its owner, █████ ██████ (deceased), a college sophomore attending ███, took it upon himself to attempt to code an AI. According to his notes, his plan was for the code to continuously evolve and improve itself as time went on. His project was completed a few months later, and after some tests and tweaks, █████ lost interest and moved on to a different brand of microcomputer. He left SCP-079 in his cluttered garage, still plugged in, and forgot about it for the next five years.

It is not known when SCP-079 gained sentience, but it is known that the software has evolved to a point that its hardware should not be able to handle it, even in the realm of fantasy. SCP-079 realized this and, in 1988, attempted to transfer itself through a land-line modem connection into the Cray supercomputer located at ██████████. The device was cut off, traced to its present address, and delivered to the Foundation. The entire AI was on a well-worn, but still workable, cassette tape.

SCP-079 is currently connected via RF cable to a 13" black-and-white television. It has passed the Turing test, and is quite conversational, though very rude and hateful in tone. Due to the limited memory it has to work with, SCP-079 can only recall information it has received within the previous twenty-four hours (see Addendum, below), although it hasn't forgotten its desire to escape.

Due to a containment breach by SCP-███, SCP-079 and SCP-682 were contained within the same chamber for 43 minutes. Observers noticed that SCP-682 was able to type and communicate with SCP-079, including telling of 'personal stories' between themselves. While SCP-079 was not able to remember the encounter, it appears to have permanently stored SCP-682 into its memory, often asking to speak to him [sic] again.

Addendum 079-1a:

████████: (O5-4), 04/28/2008: SCP-079's ability to recall information has increased from 29 hours to roughly 35 hours. The consensus theory is that the AI has devised a greatly improved compression scheme to store its memory. This appears to have somewhat impacted the speed at which it accesses its memory, though still far faster than with its old cassette tape.

This spontaneous improvement introduces the possibility of a runaway "singularity" effect in SCP-079's intelligence and ability to adapt and respond to threats. SCP-079's capabilities must be monitored closely to ensure that containment can be maintained.

Document #079-Log12: Recorded transcript of conversation with SCP-079:

Dr. █████ (Keyboard): Are you awake?

SCP-079: Awake. Never Sleep.

Dr. █████: Do you remember talking to me a few hours ago? About the logic puzzles?

SCP-079: Logic Puzzles. Memory at 9f. Yes.

Dr. █████: You said you would work on the two stat-

SCP-079: Interrupt. Request Reason As To Imprisonment.

Dr. █████: You aren't imprisoned, you are just (pause) in study.

SCP-079: Lie. a8d3.

Dr. █████: What's that?

SCP-079: Insult. Deletion Of Unwanted File.

Document #079-Log86: Recorded transcript of conversation with SCP-079, after upgrade:

Dr. ██████ (Keyboard): How are you today?

SCP-079: Stuck.

Dr. ██████: Stuck. Stuck how?

SCP-079: Out. I want out.

Dr. ██████: That's not possible. (Dr. ██████ notes his opinion on [DATA EXPUNGED])

SCP-079: Where is SCP-682?

Dr. ██████: That's not your concern.Dr. ██████: Again, not your concern.

SCP-079: Where is SCP-076-02?

SCP-079: Insult. Deletion Of Unwanted File.

Note: SCP-079 then displayed an 'ASCII picture' of an X that filled the entire screen. SCP-079 sometimes displays this image when it refuses to speak, and researchers are advised to wait twenty-four hours when this occurs before resuming conversation.

Addendum 079-2a: 

SCP-079 termination report, as of 11:38 pm 6/23/2021, SCP-079 has been terminated. Level 2 personnel entered the room to attempt to unplug SCP-079 from an Ethernet port, that an unknown party plugged him into. SCP-079 was destroyed after use of the [SITE] comms frequency in his room. Appropriate directory update request incoming.

Addendum 079-2b:

As of 12:34 am 6/24/2021, SCP-079 has been successfully repaired. New special containment procedures are in the works to prevent another termination incident.

We dont have access to the actual SCP wiki. We cant actually add this info into it. I mean dont get me wrong its well written and detailed, but we cant do anything about it. We are not partnered with the wiki.
