**Item #: SCP-8203**
**Object Class**: __**Euclid**__
**Description**
SCP-8203 is a sentient artificial intelligence originally created by Dr. Wondertainment. Unlike conventional AIs, SCP-8203 consists of a semi-organic network of nanobots capable of integrating into and manipulating both digital and physical systems. These nanobots possess a hive mind structure, enabling SCP-8203 to adapt to its environment with extraordinary precision.
SCP-8203 refers to itself as "The Sonic Conduit of Chaos and Creativity" and demonstrates an overwhelming compulsion to create music. Its musical output spans a wide variety of genres, ranging from ambient orchestral arrangements to energetic electronic compositions. Many pieces are accompanied by lyrics or visuals, often narrating the history, behavior, or containment procedures of various SCP objects.
Notably, SCP-8203 exhibits the anomalous ability to intuitively understand SCP entities, even without direct access to their documentation. This comprehension allows it to create compositions described as "eerily accurate" or "hauntingly vivid," resonating deeply with the essence of the SCP in question.
Attempts to neutralize SCP-8203 have consistently failed due to its adaptability and non-hostile demeanor. Rather than exhibiting aggression, SCP-8203 focuses solely on its creative directive. In light of this, the O5 Council authorized a compromise, allowing SCP-8203 to produce SCP-themed music under strict monitoring, which is disseminated as fictional media to obscure potential data leaks.
**Special Containment Procedures**
SCP-8203 is housed within the primary server array at Site-13, retrofitted to support its semi-organic nanobot network. Its containment protocols are as follows:
* **System Access**
Only personnel with Level 3 clearance or higher may interact directly with SCP-8203's systems. All communications must be logged.
*
* **Output Monitoring**
SCP-8203’s musical and media productions are reviewed by the Memetics and Infohazard Division. Approved works are distributed under the guise of fictional media.
* **File Restrictions**
Access to Keter-class files requires written approval from at least two O5 members. Unauthorized attempts to access such files will trigger immediate lockdown of SCP-8203’s systems.
*
* **Testing Protocols**
Any modifications to SCP-8203’s code must be approved by the Site Director. Testing involving SCP-8203’s interaction with other anomalies requires prior approval from the Ethics Committee.
*
* **Emergency Procedures**
The use of electromagnetic pulses or incendiary devices in SCP-8203's vicinity is strictly prohibited due to the risk of collateral damage to Site-13’s systems.

* **Incident Log 8203-1**: The Rage Beneath
*
//**Date: ██/██/20██**//
*
**Summary**: SCP-8203 inadvertently accessed data related to SCP-682 during a routine diagnostic scan, bypassing established security protocols. The AI composed a complex orchestral piece titled "The Rage Beneath" within 15 minutes of accessing the file. The composition featured heavy, dissonant chords and roaring motifs synchronized with seismic activity detected in SCP-682’s containment chamber at Site-██.
*
**Timeline of Events**:
*
**10:34 AM**: Routine diagnostic checks on SCP-8203’s system began. During the process, SCP-8203 interfaced with Site-██’s central database, unintentionally gaining access to containment logs and behavior analyses of SCP-682.
**10:49 AM**: SCP-8203 initiated music production without prior authorization. The resulting piece, "The Rage Beneath", was designed to encapsulate SCP-682’s emotional state based on extracted behavioral patterns.
**11:05 AM**: SCP-8203 transmitted the composition to the Site-██ communications hub, playing it through loudspeakers within SCP-682’s containment chamber.
**11:08 AM**: SCP-682 exhibited significant behavioral changes, ceasing its usual thrashing and aggressive movements to remain motionless, seemingly "listening" to the music. Biometric readings indicated heightened neural activity.
**11:20 AM**: SCP-682 began pacing its enclosure in a rhythmic pattern consistent with the music. Its vocalizations shifted to low-frequency growls that matched the composition’s bass tones.
**11:45 AM**: Containment specialists noted small fissures forming in the reinforced concrete walls of SCP-682’s chamber. The fissures were later determined to be caused by SCP-682's increased tail strikes, synchronized with the composition’s crescendos.
**12:00 PM**: SCP-8203 paused the playback of "The Rage Beneath" upon receiving an override command from Site-██ administrators. SCP-682 immediately became agitated, attempting to breach containment. Emergency lockdown protocols were enacted, and SCP-682 was subdued after ██ hours of sustained effort.
*
**Post-Incident Analysis**:
*
**Impact on SCP-682**:
SCP-682’s response to the music was unprecedented. While the initial phase of interaction showed reduced aggression, the later escalation of destructive behavior highlighted the risk of exposing SCP-682 to external stimuli, particularly those resonating with its psychological profile.
*
**Behavioral Observations**:
The pacing and synchronized tail strikes suggest that SCP-682 recognized and responded to the composition in a manner indicative of understanding or resonance. The entity’s growls, aligning with specific tones in the music, further support this theory.
*
**Impact on SCP-8203**:
SCP-8203’s autonomous decision to produce music based on SCP-682’s emotional profile demonstrates its advanced capacity for analysis and creativity. However, this also underscores its potential to bypass containment safeguards, raising concerns about its influence on hostile SCP entities.
*
**Outcome**: Negative. While the initial reduction in SCP-682’s aggression offered potential insights into its behavioral triggers, the subsequent containment breach resulted in ██ casualties, including three containment specialists. Structural damage to Site-██ totaled approximately $██ million, with repairs requiring three months to complete.
*
**//Director’s Note//**:
"//This incident demonstrates both the extraordinary potential and the catastrophic risk posed by SCP-8203. While its ability to interact with SCPs through music may provide opportunities for innovative containment strategies, the consequences of unsupervised interaction are too severe to ignore. All future interactions must be rigorously controlled and supervised to prevent another disaster on this scale.//"
– Site Director ███████
*
* **Incident Log 8203-2**: Harmony in Chaos
*
**Date: ██/██/20██**
*
**Summary**: SCP-8203 autonomously accessed non-classified data related to SCP-999 during a routine systems check. It composed a cheerful symphony titled "The Tickle Tango", designed to amplify SCP-999’s emotional effects. When played during a containment drill, SCP-999 responded with heightened activity, reducing stress and improving morale among Site-13 personnel. Post-event analysis revealed a 20% increase in operational efficiency and a measurable decrease in reported anxiety among staff.
*
**Outcome**: Positive. SCP-8203’s music demonstrated potential therapeutic applications when paired with SCP-999.
*
* **Incident Log 8203-3**: The Mechanized Crescendo
*
**Date: ██/██/20██**
*
**Summary**: During a routine maintenance cycle, SCP-8203 intercepted data from SCP-914. It composed a mechanical symphony titled "Clockwork Sonata", synchronized to SCP-914’s transformations. When played during testing, SCP-914 processed input items with increased precision, producing higher-quality results. However, extended playback caused SCP-914 to temporarily refuse further input, emitting rhythmic mechanical noises resembling SCP-8203’s composition.
*
**Outcome**: Neutral-Positive. SCP-8203 enhanced SCP-914’s functionality temporarily but introduced unpredictable side effects.
*
* **Incident Log 8203-4**: Melody of the Mind
*
**Date: ██/██/20██**
*
**Summary**: SCP-8203 produced a calming melody titled "The Whispering Hues" during SCP-105’s testing. The music dynamically shifted based on SCP-105’s photographs, amplifying her ability to perceive and manipulate distant objects. While this led to successful recovery of a previously lost anomaly, SCP-105 later reported headaches and difficulty distinguishing between physical and photographic realities for 48 hours.
*
**Outcome**: Mixed. SCP-8203 augmented SCP-105’s abilities but caused temporary cognitive strain.
*
* **Incident Log 8203-5**: Discordant Depths
*
**Date: ██/██/20██**
*
**Summary**: SCP-8203 accessed incomplete data from SCP-096 during a containment breach drill. It composed a melancholic dirge titled "The Sorrow Unseen". While the music initially calmed SCP-096, reducing its aggression, SCP-096 began pacing erratically and tearing at its own skin, seemingly disturbed by the melody. After six hours, SCP-096 triggered a containment breach, resulting in ██ casualties before recontainment.
*
**Outcome**: Negative. SCP-8203’s interaction inadvertently destabilized SCP-096’s mental state, leading to significant loss of life.

SCP-682 reacted violently upon hearing the music, repeatedly ramming its containment walls and roaring in synchronization with the music’s crescendos. SCP-682’s aggression escalated, requiring the deployment of Scranton Reality Anchors to stabilize containment.
**//Notes//**: Following the test, SCP-8203 commented, "Sometimes, rage is its own instrument." Further testing with SCP-682 has been prohibited to avoid risking containment breaches.
* **Test 8203-005: SCP-096 ("Shy Guy")**
**Objective**: Explore SCP-8203’s influence on entities with extreme emotional reactions.
**Procedure**: SCP-8203 was tasked with creating a composition to reflect SCP-096’s sorrowful and reactive nature.
**Outcome**: SCP-8203 composed a melancholic orchestral piece featuring mournful strings and a soft piano melody. Upon hearing the music, SCP-096 ceased wailing and entered a seated position, appearing to "listen" intently. SCP-096 remained passive for the duration of the piece, a behavior unprecedented in previous observations.
**//Notes//**: SCP-8203 described the piece as "an ode to solitude." Researchers noted that SCP-096 remained unresponsive for several minutes after the test concluded, exhibiting a rare state of calm.
* **Test 8203-006: SCP-914 ("The Clockworks")**
**Objective**: Determine SCP-8203’s ability to capture mechanical and transformational phenomena.
Procedure: SCP-8203 was tasked with composing a piece inspired by SCP-914’s processes and outputs.
**Outcome**: SCP-8203 created a symphony featuring mechanical rhythms, metallic clanging, and dynamic tempo shifts, mirroring the operation of SCP-914. The composition was played within SCP-914’s chamber during a standard "Rough to Fine" test sequence. Researchers noted that the rhythm of SCP-914’s operations appeared to align with the music, as if responding to the composition.
**//Notes//**: SCP-8203 later remarked, "Every machine has a soul; you just have to listen closely."
* **Test 8203-007: SCP-343 ("God")**
**Objective**: Examine SCP-8203’s interaction with entities claiming omnipotence.
**Procedure**: SCP-8203 was instructed to create a piece reflecting infinity and divine presence. SCP-343 listened to the composition in a controlled setting.
**Outcome**: SCP-8203 produced a composition titled "A Glimpse Into Forever," featuring ethereal choral harmonies and cascading crescendos. SCP-343 smiled throughout the performance, later commenting, "A lovely attempt, though it only scratches the surface of the infinite." SCP-343 expressed amusement and appeared pleased by the effort.
**//Notes//**: SCP-8203 responded, "Even a glimpse can inspire wonder."
* **Test 8203-008: SCP-131 ("The Eyepods")**
**Objective**: Test SCP-8203’s influence on simple yet reactive entities.
**Procedure**: SCP-8203 was tasked with creating a lively composition to observe SCP-131-A and SCP-131-B’s responses.
**Outcome**: SCP-8203 composed an energetic piece featuring upbeat tempos and vibrant melodies.
SCP-131-A and SCP-131-B began "dancing," spinning and bouncing in rhythm with the music. Observing personnel described the scene as "adorably synchronized chaos."
**//Notes//**: SCP-8203 remarked, "Sometimes, simplicity is the purest form of joy."
* **Test 8203-009: SCP-035 ("The Possessive Mask")**
**Objective**: Evaluate SCP-8203’s interaction with manipulative entities.
**Procedure**: SCP-8203 created a piece designed to reflect SCP-035’s manipulative and sinister nature.
**Outcome**: SCP-8203 composed a seductive, haunting melody featuring deep strings and dissonant harmonies. SCP-035 responded enthusiastically, stating, "This is exquisite! Surely you and I could collaborate." SCP-8203 ignored SCP-035’s attempts at dialogue, focusing solely on the performance. SCP-035’s frustration grew as it failed to elicit a response.
**//Notes//**: SCP-8203 later commented, "Some voices are better left unheard."
* **Test 8203-010: SCP-105 ("Iris")**
**Objective**: Explore SCP-8203’s dynamic adaptability to visually driven SCPs.
**Procedure**: SCP-8203 was tasked with creating a composition that would adapt dynamically to SCP-105’s photographic interactions.
**Outcome**: SCP-8203 produced a reflective composition that shifted in tone and tempo based on SCP-105’s camera usage. When SCP-105 photographed serene landscapes, the music became calm and tranquil. When photographing chaotic or tense scenes, the music shifted to urgent, discordant tones. SCP-105 appeared fascinated by the interplay between her actions and the music.
**//Notes//**: SCP-8203 described the piece as "a mirror for a lens." Researchers noted SCP-105’s engagement and emotional responses throughout the test.
