**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-8188 is to be kept in a soundproof, shielded chamber. All personnel who interact with SCP-8188 must wear ear protection and undergo psychological evaluation. Any attempts to tamper with or dismantle SCP-8188 are strictly prohibited.
**Description:** SCP-8188 is a vintage, analog radio with a worn, leather case. When powered on, SCP-8188 emits a constant, static-filled noise. However, at irregular intervals, the static will give way to a clear, intelligible voice. The voice will speak in a language that is unknown to any current linguist, and the content of the messages is often cryptic or disturbing.
**Tests conduced**
|| Test Objective || Procedure || Expected Outcome ||
|| Electromagnetic Analysis || Measure frequency, signal strength, and susceptibility to interference. || Identify specific frequencies, assess signal potency, and determine vulnerability to jamming. ||
|| Linguistic Analysis || Analyze patterns, attempt translation, and cross-reference with known languages. || Identify language structure, decipher messages (if possible), and discover potential connections. ||
|| Psychological Testing || Expose subjects, conduct hypnosis/dream analysis, and perform neurological tests.||Assess psychological effects, uncover subconscious connections, and identify brain changes..||

The first time I listened to the radio, it was... unsettling. The static was so loud, so constant. It felt like it was drilling into my brain. And then, the voice. It was like a cold wind blowing through a graveyard. I couldn't understand a word it was saying, but I knew it was there, watching me.

I've been translating more and more of the messages lately. Some of them are... horrifying. It talks about a plan, a grand design to reshape reality. It says that we humans are nothing more than tools, pawns in a cosmic game. I can't believe what I'm hearing.
I feel so small, so insignificant. Like a speck of dust in a hurricane. I'm trying to do the right thing, to warn the world, but I'm not sure if it's even possible. Maybe I'm just crazy. Maybe I'm imagining all of this.

**Interview Transcript**
----
**DATE:** 04/30/2020
----
**O5-6**: Researcher Grey, thank you for agreeing to this interview. We're particularly interested in your thoughts on the information provided by The Listener regarding SCP-8188.
**Researcher Grey**: Of course, O5-6. I understand the concerns about The Listener's reliability, given their prolonged exposure to the SCP. However, I believe the information they've provided is credible.
**O5-6**: Why do you think that?
**Researcher Grey** First, The Listener has demonstrated a remarkable ability to understand and translate the language spoken by SCP-8188. This is a skill that no other researcher has been able to acquire, even after years of study. Second, the information provided by The Listener has been corroborated by other sources. For example, the entity's threats of invasion have been echoed in other SCP-related incidents.
**O5-6**: But could the Listener's psychological symptoms be influencing their interpretation of the messages?
**Researcher Grey**: It's possible, but I don't think it's likely. The Listener has shown no signs of delusions or hallucinations, and their translations have been consistent and coherent. Additionally, the entity's messages have been analyzed by multiple experts, and all of them have come to similar conclusions.
**O5-6**: I see. Well, thank you for your insights, Researcher Grey. We'll continue to monitor The Listener's progress and evaluate the credibility of their information.
**Researcher Grey**: Thank you, O5-6.
