**Special Containment Procedures:**
SCP 8165 is to be kept in a 10m x 10m x 6m containment chamber, doors to this Chamber are airlocked, and it is equipped with a DIC (Dawkins Isolation Chamber, the Dawkins Isolation Chamber is a vaccum sealed reinforced cube). Two infrared surveillance cameras are to be monitored 24/7 while anomaly is in containment, access to 8165 is limited to Level 3 personnel and higher. Every three weeks the Isolation Chamber is to have a thorough inspection.
**__RE EVALUATED CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES__**
8615 is to be given atleast 1 hour of playtime where it will be taken to its own designated playroom and provided with various forms of entertainment and instruments to play with, when that 1 hour is up, SCP 8615 is to be extracted by personnel wearing full protective hazmat suit gear
**Description**:
The anomaly was located in the english countryside after multiple missing persons reports and mysterious accidents had caught the eye of the Foundation. 8165 is a completely gaseous entity, with a deep blue hue that shows sporadic electroluminescence on an unpredictable basis. The gas entity takes the form of a 6'5 tall humanoid with no facial features and clawed hands and feet, frequently faces will appear on it's body and one thing these all have in common is that they are all in a permanent horrified expression and appear for no more than six seconds at a time. Exposure to this gas via contact or inhalation leads to deadly consequences, the gas itself contains anomalous particles that bind to cellular structures and disrupt normal metabolic processes.
**IF YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW ARE EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS AFTER 8165 EXPOSURE PLEASE REFER TO THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT**
Symptoms are as follows:
* Throat discomfort
* Dizziness
* Nausea
* Vomiting
* Trachycardia
* Paranoia
* Anxiety
* Jaundice
* Respiratory Distress
**SEVERE SYMPTOMS THAT COULD LEAD TO DEATH**
* Oxygen Deprivation
* Systemic Organ Failure
* Cardiac Arrest
* Seizures
The gas seems to have no effects on anomalous life forms.

**ADDENDUM LOG 8165-A**
**Experiment Log**
Description:8 brown rats were dispersed into 8165's testing chamber, the anomaly seemed to enjoy the process of hunting the creatures down and ended up killing all of the rats in thirty-nine minutes and forty-eight seconds. SCP 8165 began to laugh and giggle uncontrollably and played with the corpses as if they were children's toys. When the corpses were removed from the testing chamber 8165 showed aggressive behaviour and began chasing down foundation staff while giggling.
------
**RESEARCHER COMMENT
Dr Clark, Junior Researcher, 8165 Project**
"SCP 8165 has shown that it is not bothered emotionally by the loss of life, I do also believe that it's constant laughter during the whole ordeal shows that the entity is extremely sadistic. It derives pleasure from killing anything weaker than itself and anything incapable of fighting back.Should this anomaly prove to become more hostile it would be a real pain for all of us to keep contained."
------
**EXPERIMENT LOG**
Description:A large cow had been introduced to 8165's testing chamber, 8165 immediately went to interact with the animal, chasing it around, tapping it and running the other way as if playing 'IT', scaring the cow with sudden movements and after the six minute mark the cow had dropped dead completely with no signs of life left. 8165 began to stand the corpse up and ride it as if it were a rodeo bull, the entity began to giggle uncontrollably during the process. After around eight minutes of riding, the anomaly began to jump over the cow continuously as if it were playing a childhood game.
------
**RESEARCHER COMMENT
DR MAYFLOWER, HEAD RESEARCHER OF THE 8165 PROJECT**
"I think the recent tests have proved this creature shows no remorse to any of the harm it inflicts on others and extracts some sort of joy and happiness from it, it began tormenting the cow like a child would torment a pigeon!? I am not sure what to do in this situation, this entity might at some point become too much for us all to handle."
------
**ADDENDUM LOG 1865-C
INCIDENT REPORT**
Description:During the routine inspection of the Isolation Chamber, a Class D had caused a breach in the vacuum-seal leading to their termination and the breach of SCP 8165. During its breach, surveillance footage had captured the anomaly wandering around the less inhabited places in the site, and continuously avoiding largely crowded areas. The anomaly had only caused 2 casualties that day, one of those being the security guard assigned to guarding its cell. More surveillance footage uncovered the anomaly chasing a foundation researcher and making a giggling noise during the process.
------
**RESEARCHER COMMENT
Dr Hendon, Senior Researcher of the 8165 Project**
"This is just horrifying, it chased a researcher while giggling?!we need to guard this thing more efficiently, there could have been a way bigger loss of life today. The thing even avoided crowded areas so that it wouldn't get caught and recontained? This is a more malicious and dangerous entity then we have estimated and we need to stop it from causing anymore casualties."
------
**ADDENDUM LOG 8165-D
OBSERVATION LOG**
Description: SCP 8165 had been given the opportunity to roam throughout its testing chamber and being restricted to the chamber only. 8165 had been given some objects to occupy itself during this period, it was given a kid's shape puzzle. It displayed intense joy and happiness from playing with this, constantly giggling.
------
**RESEARCHER COMMENT
Dr Partridge, Senior Researcher of the 8165 Project**
"Anybody else find it weird how this thing is constantly laughing and giggling whenever it does something, I mean this is the first time it's ever done something that's put a smile on my face, things like this make you forget the true danger of what's infront of you for a minute. It was almost like watching a toddler play with their toys."
------
**ADDENDUM LOG 8165-E
REQUEST LOG**
Dr Mayflower had requested multiple sets of children's toys for 8165, he had been denied the first 2 times but through negotiations had managed to get the request approved.
> "As we all know the Dawkins Isolation Chamber is a very energy consuming and hard to maintain piece of equipment, I believe that if we can get a better understanding of how this anomaly acts and behaves we can see why it has shown such malevolence to other life forms, this could completely could re-evaluate the containment procedures. I am requesting this equipment so I can study what items and activities will occupy the creature and keep it engaged or interested."-Dr Freddie Mayflower
------
**ADDENDUM LOG 8165-F
BEHAVIOUR LOG**
Description:During its period of 'playtime' in its testing chamber it has shown extreme signs of joy and happiness playing with Legos, playdough and various other kids toys. 8165 kept making the constant giggling and laughing noises, when it's time was up it displayed sadness and disappointment, 8165 returned to the DIC without any hostility.
------
**RESEARCHER COMMENT
DR MAYFLOWER, HEAD RESEARCHER**
"I think I have grasped the true nature of SCP 8165, after looking at its behaviour and experiment logs, I think 8165 is really just very playful and oblivious to the harm it causes. Hell, it might not even know about its anomalous effects at all I take back what I said before, this thing is not a malicious entity it is just ignorant to the threat it imposes on others. However this still doesnt get rid of the risk it poses to foundation staff, despite its playful demeanour, it is a serious threat and should stay as an euclid class for the forseeable future."- Dr Freddie Mayflower

**NOTE:This has given us an insight into the behaviour and intelligence of SCP 8165**
----
[BEGIN LOG]
SCP 8165 is seen to play with children's toys it is provided with during its 'free-time'. Additionally, it had been given a set of colouring books, crayons, colouring pencils and 3 sheets of A4 paper to use, it had taken 32 minutes writing something on the paper until it had been returned to its Containment Chamber. SCP 8165 showed signs of aggression when removed from the playroom, in the way a child would have a tantrum if they hadn't gotten what they had wanted. After around 8 minutes, SCP 8165 could be successfully and safely extracted from its playroom and back into its containment chamber.

[[/div]]
On this note I , Dr Mayflower, and the research team have come to the conclusion that the anomaly has the intelligence of a 6 year old child, it has shown this due to its interest in toys and children's games, its understanding and interpretation of events, its behaviour towards others and how it addresses the foundation staff as '//family//' we have also come to the belief that it refers to the test subjects that had breen brought to it as '//friends//' in the lined paper we have extracted from its play-room.https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7031

**SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES**
SCP 7031 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment unit with the interior design resembling that of a modern english home, soundproof properties are to be installed and active on the walls of the home at all times to avoid the anomaly's effects spreading. Subject is to be provided the following:
* clean drinking water
* reading materials
* clean furniture and bedding
Under no circumstances should SCP 7031 come in a 20m radius of SCP 7031-1s containment chamber. SCP 7031-1 is to be held in a locked metal crate in Site-17, approval of at least one level 4 personnel is required to move the object from its containment area.
------
**Description**
SCP 7031 consists of 2 components
* an antique flute, in pristine condition(7031-1)
* a Caucasian middle aged man wearing tattered 17th-century clothing , commonly assosciated with European street performers of that era.(7031-2).
SCP 7031-1, the pipe flute, is approximately 30 cm long, made of an unknown wood-like material, with occult based carvings along its surface. Despite its apparent age and wear, SCP 7031-1 has shown remarkable signs of durability, with no signs of decay or damage, even after extensive testing.
When played by SCP 7031-2, 7031-1 manifests an auditory anomaly that causes emotional distress to anybody who hears it, symptoms vary depending on how long subject is exposed to the noise and how close they are to the noise as it was being played. The sound produced is described by others as an ordinary, skilfully crafted, melody typical of traditional folk music.
SCP 7031-2 is a humanoid male, approximately 1.75 metres in height, appearing to be in his mid 40s, though its true age is unknown. SCP 7031's physical appearance is reminiscent of a 17th century European street performer, consistent with records of traveling musicians and entertainers from that era. The entity is dressed in tattered, historically accurate clothing, consisting of a long worn out coat, a frayed linen shirt and patched trousers. Despite the ragged condition of the clothing it appears to regenerate overtime slowly repairing tears and signs of wear without external intervention. X-ray analysis has shown that the clothing is attached to 7031-2's body, making it impossible to pull of as it has essentially became an added layer of skin. SCP 7031-2's skin is pale and its eyes an unnaturally deep shade of grey. These eyes often remain fixed in a distant or vacant expression, described as being'//perpetually lost in thought//'. However, when SCP 7031-2 plays 7031-1, the entity's demeanour shifts drastically. Its eyes seem to glow faintly, and it becomes highly focused, exhibiting signs of satisfaction or melancholic pleasure depending on the reaction of its listeners. SCP 7031-2 rarely speaks but can communicate in multiple languages, though it has shown a preference to remain silent, responding more often with gestures or brief nods.
Languages are as follows:
* French
* Italian
* English
* Spanish
* Portuguese
* German
* Greek
* Dutch
* Bulgarian
The auditory anomaly has proven to not be purely based on the melody itself , but on the ability to attune to the specific psychological vulnerabilities of the listener . SCP 7031-1 seems to detect and amplify latent feelings of sadness, fear, guilt or loss, creating a deeply personal and disturbing experience for each individual. In addition to the music, many exposed subjects report hearing additional sounds layered within the melody which may include whispers, screams, distant crying or even the voice of loved ones. This consistently varies by individual and align with their personal emotional trauma or regrets. The anomaly appears to draw out and exploit these emotions intensifying them to extreme levels, after exposure 7031-1 victims will manifest mental illnesses after a period of no more than 4 days, there has been no proven link between the mental illnesses that manifest and it seems that it is completely random.

> OBSERVATION LOG 7031.OL.1 SUMMARY
> **DESCRIPTION:**7031-2 was given access to 7031-1 and instructed to play it in the presence of D-7941,D-7941 had previously been described by friends and foundation staff as a happy and outgoing person that'//always finds a way to lift the mood of a situation//' she had no history of trauma prior to the experiment, the test went as follows
> D-7941 approaches the musician and greets him formally, to which 7031-2 responded with a brief glance and a slight smile that lasted no longer than 2 seconds.
> "May I interest you in a performance?" asked 7031-2
> D-7941 responded with a brief nod
> Without hesitation or warning 7031-2 began to play his flute, manifesting the auditory anomaly, the effects were almost immediate as D-7941's body language changed, becoming rather sluggish and visibly tired or as she described it '//miserable//' after 6 minutes 7031-2 stops playing his flute
> "How did you find it?" SCP 7031-2 smirked chuckling to himself
> "I uh.... I-" D-7941 cut herself off abruptly
> Without warning she suddenly began to experience something similar to a panic attack, uncontrollably crying and falling to the floor, she crawled backwards struggling to walk away from 7031-2, as he found amusement in her reaction
> "Thanks for your feedback. Glad you liked it" 7031 struggled to spit out, laughing abruptly between every 2 words
> The experiment was stopped and D-7941 was sent to solitary confinement and given psychological evaluation weekly. The changes in her behaviour were as follows:
* Lack of any movement at all, when observed would usually be motionless in one place ignoring all outside stimuli
* Unpredictable panic attacks
* Constantly miserable
Symptoms after the 4 day mark:
* Hallucinations
* Delusions
* Lack of emotion
* Sporadic speech and behaviour
D-7941 was diagnosed with schizophrenia after exposure to 7031-1's auditory anomaly
> It was like watching the happy-go-lucky person you used to know, become a depressed unstable maniac, I pray for D-7941's full recovery.- Fletcher WallingtonExcerpts of note:

"While we continue our research into SCP-8165 despite the casualties sustained during the breach, I think we have come to the realization that this SCP is sentient. Many research personnel present at the site during its breach reported that it moved away from areas with large crowds of people. We used to think that the anomaly operated purely on instinct, but after it managed to recontain itself following the breach, we have concluded that the entity has displayed signs of high intelligence. Following this, I believe we can find an efficient way to communicate with this entity. Underestimating it could lead to catastrophic consequences and loss of life."
Further research is required to fully comprehend the extent of SCP-5316-1’s abilities and the nature of its connection to SCP-5316-2. Any further incidents involving these entities must be reported immediately to Site Command for analysis and response.
