New site member Prof Krause (account age and site membership 2 days) recently posted the following concept thread, which contains numerous common identifiers of AI-generated material: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-16983642/seeking-greenlight-the-conductor
Seeking Greenlights: Yes
Page Type: SCP Article
Genre: Horror, Mystery
Page Layout:
The article will follow the standard SCP article format, presenting the SCP’s containment procedures, description, addendums, and incident reports. The story will unfold gradually through test logs and an incident report, hinting at SCP-XXXX’s origin and purpose. No format screw will be used, but subtle narrative cues will suggest a deeper history tied to music and memories, leaving much to the reader’s interpretation.
Elevator Pitch:
SCP-XXXX, known as “The Conductor,” is a humanoid automaton that "conducts" any music or rhythmic audio played nearby, altering the sounds into disturbing, atonal symphonies. Its responses vary based on the type of audio, ranging from nostalgic gestures with classical music to erratic movements that induce auditory hallucinations with electronic sounds. Tests hint at SCP-XXXX’s strange connection to music, memory, and an unknown origin.
Central Narrative:
The SCP Foundation discovers SCP-XXXX in an abandoned theater, entangled with broken instruments and old, dust-covered music sheets. Initial tests with SCP-XXXX's conducting abilities reveal unique and eerie interactions with different music types, hinting at a history filled with music, possibly evoking distant memories of a time it served as a conductor. Dr. █████ hypothesizes that SCP-XXXX may possess echoes of awareness or intent. The article will imply a tragic past without giving explicit details, suggesting SCP-XXXX’s nature as something between a machine and a lost soul.
Hook/Attention-Grabber:
SCP-XXXX stands out because it offers a tragic, haunting twist on the classic "ghost conductor" trope, combining a mechanical entity with deeply unsettling, almost human-like responses to music. Its reactions, ranging from hypnotic to chaotic, vary widely, inviting readers to wonder if it holds a piece of its original creator's memories, a spectral presence, or a purpose lost to time.
Additional Notes:
I would like feedback on the clarity of the SCP’s emotional impact—does SCP-XXXX's conduct and responses to music effectively convey a sense of eerie nostalgia and potential awareness?
Open to suggestions on expanding incident logs or adding more lore clues without making the article too heavy-handed.
