**Item #: SCP-9125
Object Class: Keter (Prime)**
**Description:**
SCP-9125 is a smartphone, currently manifesting as an Apple iPhone 12 (Product Red edition). The device displays four consistent anomalous properties:
SCP-9125 maintains full cellular signal and data connectivity regardless of location, including within Faraday cages, deep underground facilities, and in areas devoid of any known telecommunications infrastructure.
The device’s battery never depletes. Attempts to measure energy output or input yield no conclusive readings, though the device remains perpetually operational.
SCP-9125 automatically updates its software and hardware interface to match the most current commercial phone models within 12 hours of their official release, regardless of physical containment.
When SCP-9125’s built-in camera application is used to photograph a human subject, an additional entity — designated SCP-9125-1 — is visible in the background of the image.
**SCP-9125-1 Description:**
SCP-9125-1 appears as a humanoid shadow or silhouette, typically depicted in varying postures consistent with movement or approach. The figure’s details cannot be enhanced or clarified, even under spectral or digital analysis. Attempts to modify or obscure SCP-XXXX-1 (via filters, cropping, or manual editing) result in software corruption and data loss.
The progression of SCP-9125-1’s appearance follows a consistent pattern:
**1st Picture**
SCP-9125-1 is visible in the far background (average 20–30 meters away). Often positioned near a doorway, street corner, or reflective surface.
**2nd Picture**
SCP-9125-1 is significantly closer (approx. 10 meters). May appear partially obscured or in motion.
**3rd Picture**
SCP-9125-1 is within several meters of the subject.
Subject often reports feelings of paranoia, being watched, or nightmares of pursuit.
**4th Picture**
SCP-9125-1 stands directly behind the subject.
The subject’s shadow will, at this point, begin to distort and occasionally move independently.
**5th Picture**
Once taken, temporary blindness will occur in all participants viewing the scene being photographed, supposedly due to 'the camera flash', even if said flash is deactivated at the time the picture is taken. Once sight returns, the photographed subject shall vanish, and the last photo taken shall show SCP-9125-1 in the process of murdering the photographed subject. Cause of death varies-blunt trauma, strangulation, dismemberment, drowning, and burning have all been observed. SCP-9125-1 is always seen physically enacting the killing. The corpse often reappears within 40-64 hours of death, though cases have shown they may not reappear at all. The method of death depicted in the fifth image has been verified as accurate upon cross-referencing with recovered victims’ remains or forensic residues.
Attempts to prevent the progression by deleting photos, refusing further photography, or destroying the device have universally failed. Once an individual has been photographed, SCP-9125-1’s pursuit is considered inevitable. Attempts to cease photographs in order to halt progression have been unsuccessful, at continued photographs are taken automatically at five day intervals, no matter the distance. Examined photos taken this way show the exact same behavior the photographed subject had exhibited at the time the photo was taken.
**Addendum 9125-A: Discovery**
SCP-9125 first came to Foundation attention after a series of disappearances in ███████, Oregon, where several teenagers uploaded photos to social media featuring the same indistinct “man-shaped shadow” in the background. Within two weeks, all five individuals were declared missing. The final image, uploaded by [REDACTED], depicted SCP-9125-1’s arm reaching toward the photographer. Law enforcement recovered an iPhone (later identified as SCP-9125) from the missing teen’s bedroom.
Upon initial containment, researchers noted the device’s unremovable SIM card, which displayed the text:
“HE WHO APPROACHES”
Attempts to remove, clone, or alter the SIM card have failed. The text remains constant across all software interfaces and persists even when viewed through non-electronic means, such as transcription or drawing.
**Special Containment Procedures:**
SCP-9125 is to be contained within a triple-layered Faraday isolation chamber at Site-19, designed to block all incoming and outgoing wireless signals. The chamber must be equipped with its own internal EMP generators and Faraday shielding redundancies to prevent possible re-emergence of service connectivity.
No personnel are to activate SCP-9125 under any circumstances without Level 4 authorization. Any experimentation involving the device must occur under remote observation using robotic manipulation systems.
In the event SCP-9125 is destroyed or disappears, MTF Gamma-5 (“Red Herrings”) are to monitor global electronics retailers, repair shops, and secondhand marketplaces for reports of “phones that never lose signal or battery.”
Upon rediscovery, SCP-9125 is to be recontained immediately.
Personnel exposed to SCP-9125’s camera function are to be placed under immediate quarantine and psychological observation. Any individual photographed by SCP-9125 is to be treated as a Class-A Hazard Subject and monitored for manifestation events. Termination is authorized only in cases of last resort — though it has proven ineffective in halting progression once the fifth photograph has been taken.
**Addendum 9125-B: Testing Log (Excerpt)**
**Test 9125-07
Subject: D-98214**
Procedure: Subject photographed once per day under controlled conditions.
Results:
Day 1: SCP-9125-1 appears faintly in the test chamber’s reflection window.
Day 2: SCP-9125-1 visible halfway between subject and window. D-98214 reports insomnia.
Day 3: SCP-9125-1 stands directly behind subject. D-98214 refuses further participation.
Day 4: D-98214 sedated and photographed. SCP-9125-1 now in contact with subject’s shoulder.
Day 5: Photograph depicts D-98214’s body with neck broken at a 120° angle. SCP-9125-1 crouched over corpse.
Within one hour, D-98214’s body was found. Surveillance footage shows static for 3.7 seconds before resuming with the subject's body splattered across the east wall of his cell.
**Addendum 9125-C: Destruction and Reconstitution Events**
Following the incineration of SCP-9125 on ██/██/20██, a replacement device appeared on the desk of Researcher █████ within 12 hours, already unlocked and bearing the message:
“You took my picture.”
Since then, the Foundation has documented seven known re-manifestations, each corresponding to a destroyed or missing instance. The phone always manifests in an area previously associated with the last photograph’s subject or the most recent containment specialist.
Containment protocols have been updated accordingly.
**Special Incident Report 9125-A (“The Sixth Photograph”)
Date: ██/██/20██
Location: Site-19, Sublevel B - Secure Containment Wing Theta
Reporting Officer: Dr. Halvorsen
Involved Personnel: Research Assistant D. Linton, Security Officer Perez, MTF Alpha-9 ("Last Hope")
Summary:**
During routine testing of SCP-9125, Research Assistant D. Linton triggered an anomalous deviation in the established behavioral pattern of the entity (SCP-9125-1). This marks the first and only documented instance of a sixth photograph being produced. The subsequent containment breach and temporal phenomena are currently classified as Level-5 Information Hazard.
Background:
At the time of the event, SCP-9125 had been inactive for six weeks, contained within an isolated Faraday chamber after prior testing cycles. Dr. Halvorsen authorized a limited exposure experiment to determine whether SCP-9125’s progression could be interrupted by photographing an identical twin of a previously targeted subject. The test was based on the hypothesis that SCP-9125-1’s pattern recognition might be biological rather than memetic.
Incident Timeline:
10:24 a.m. — D. Linton, under remote supervision, enters Chamber Theta. Subject holds SCP-9125 and initiates camera app. Twin subject (D-43512-A) stands at 2 meters distance.
10:26 a.m. — Photo #1 taken. SCP-9125-1 appears approximately 22 meters behind D-43512-A. Pattern matches standard manifestation.
10:28 a.m. — Photo #2 taken. SCP-9125-1 observed 12 meters away, leaning partially around containment wall.
10:31 a.m. — Photo #3 taken. SCP-9125-1 directly behind D-43512-A. Shadow distortion present. D-43512-A reports sudden temperature drop to 4°C.
10:33 a.m. — Photo #4 taken. SCP-9125-1 appears to make physical contact with D-43512-A’s shoulder. Both heart rates spike sharply. Thermal cameras register a brief silhouette behind both individuals before data corruption occurs.
10:34 a.m. — Photo #5 taken. As expected, image depicts D-43512-A’s apparent death via strangulation. Within 60 seconds, D-43512-A vanishes.
10:35 a.m. — SCP-9125 emits an audible clicking sound consistent with a camera shutter, though no photo command was issued. A sixth image automatically appears in the gallery, timestamped 00:00 a.m., seven hours in the future.
**Photo #6 Description:**
The image depicts the interior of Chamber Theta, empty except for D. Linton’s body, hanging from the ceiling by an electrical cord. SCP-9125 rests on the floor beneath the body. SCP-9125-1 is absent.
10:36 a.m. — D. Linton begins exhibiting erratic behavior, reporting hearing "camera shutters" at random intervals. All attempts to remove SCP-9125 from his possession fail; device adheres to his palm as though magnetized.
10:39 a.m. — Linton begins speaking to an unseen entity, repeatedly addressing it as “You’re early.” SCP-9125’s screen flashes intermittently between the current feed and the predicted image from Photo #6.
10:40 a.m. — Live feed cameras in Chamber Theta show SCP-9125-1 manifesting without photographic trigger, materializing directly behind Linton.
10:41 a.m. — Chamber lights fail. When power is restored, Linton is dead, suspended by electrical wiring precisely as shown in the sixth image. SCP-9125 lies directly beneath him. Its camera application is open.
10:42 a.m. — SCP-9125 takes another picture autonomously. Resulting photo shows the same scene, but with Dr. Halvorsen (observer) faintly visible in the reflective glass behind the body.
Aftermath:
Chamber Theta sealed.
SCP-9125 recovered by MTF Alpha-9 using drone manipulation.
Following this event, all research into SCP-9125 was temporarily suspended by order of O5 Command pending investigation into possible memetic contamination.
**Cross-Test Report 9125–173
Item Cross-Tested: SCP-9125
Secondary Subject: SCP-173
Location: Site-19, Testing Chamber 12-C (reinforced Class-4 Containment)
Supervising Researcher: Dr. Halvorsen
Approval Authority: O5-█
Security Detail: MTF Tau-5 (“Samsara”)**
**Objective:**
To determine whether SCP-9125’s anomalous properties extend to non-human entities, specifically other SCPs exhibiting sentience, sapience, or aggression. SCP-173 was selected due to its resilience, hostility, and well-understood behavioral parameters.
**Procedure:**
SCP-173 was transferred to Chamber 12-C under continuous visual observation by three Foundation personnel via remote systems.
SCP-9125 was placed on an automated trolley and remotely controlled to activate its camera app.
The phone was positioned to take a photograph of SCP-173 at a 15-meter distance.
Five photographs were scheduled to be taken at five-minute intervals, per standard progression pattern.
**Results:**
**Photo #1 (T + 0:00)**
SCP-173 remains stationary, facing camera. Background analysis confirms faint humanoid silhouette (SCP-9125-1) at approximately 25 meters behind SCP-173, partially obscured by the rear containment wall.
Notable anomaly: SCP-173’s head is slightly tilted left — deviation of 7° from baseline posture. This movement occurred during a 0.2-second camera feed interruption.
**Photo #2 (T + 5:00)**
SCP-9125-1 observed closer, now standing 10 meters behind SCP-173. SCP-173’s head and torso have rotated an additional 15° toward the camera. Feed shows momentary static lasting 1.3 seconds.
Audio captured a cracking noise consistent with SCP-173’s movement.
Personnel report feelings of unease.
**Photo #3 (T + 10:00)**
SCP-9125-1 now appears directly behind SCP-173. Shadow form partially overlaps SCP-173’s silhouette.
For the first time on record, SCP-173 moves despite continuous visual contact. Cameras record a 0.5-second desync between visual feeds, during which SCP-173 repositions three meters forward. SCP-173 resumes normal immobility when feed resyncs.
**Photo #4 (T + 15:00)**
SCP-173 now turned fully toward the wall, as though facing away from the camera. SCP-9125-1 appears in front of it, crouched.
Thermal readings detect an unexplained temperature drop to -12°C around SCP-173.
Microfractures appear on SCP-173’s outer shell.
**Photo #5 (T + 20:00)**
The final scheduled photo depicts SCP-173 missing from frame. SCP-9125-1 occupies its prior position, standing upright and closer to the lens. Behind it, a smear of what appears to be pulverized concrete and rust-colored fluid (believed to be SCP-173’s “blood” material) stains the wall. Within the chamber, SCP-173 was physically gone. Tracking sensors registered no exit. The chamber door remained sealed.
**Post-Test Observations:**
Two hours post-test, SCP-173 reappeared spontaneously inside its original containment cell, though its posture differed. Object now displays a distinct crack pattern resembling a human handprint encircling its upper torso.
SCP-9125 remains functional. The photo gallery in SCP-9125 now includes a sixth, unsolicited image, depicting SCP-173 and SCP-9125-1 standing side by side, both facing the camera. No such scene was ever observed in testing.
**Analysis:**
SCP-9125’s effect is not restricted to humans. It appears to recognize life or attention as its target criteria.
SCP-9125-1 demonstrated the ability to interact with SCP-173, potentially overcoming or ignoring its visual fixation limitation.
**Containment Update:**
Following Incident 9125–173, SCP-9125 has been reclassified as Keter-Prime and placed under Foundation Quarantine Directive 47-B (Cross-Entity Anomaly Prohibition).
All testing involving SCP-9125 is indefinitely suspended by order of the O5 Council.Excerpts of note:

**Item #: SCP-9145
Object Class: Euclid**
[[f>image Screenshot%202025-11-09%20at%203.41.13%E2%80%AFPM.png size="medium"]]
Description:
SCP-9145 is a film reel of indeterminate age and origin, measuring approximately 8 inches in diameter. The reel and filmstock display wear consistent with prolonged use, yet no degradation or breakage has been observed despite repeated handling and projection.
SCP-9145 emits an anomalous electromagnetic field that causes any electronic device within 4.6–12.2 meters (15–40 ft) to short out or permanently fail. The radius of this effect appears to fluctuate based on unknown variables, though proximity to metallic objects appears to increase range and intensity. The use of specialized tools to avoid the effects of 9145's field has been successful, though to a limited degree.
When SCP-9145 is placed upon a projector—regardless of whether the projector is operational or even functional—it will autonomously begin playback. The source of illumination and motion required for projection appear to manifest independently of external power sources.
The resulting animation, hereafter designated SCP-9145-1, is perceived differently by each viewer. No two test subjects have ever reported identical “episodes,” nor have any managed to record or describe identical plotlines. Reported episode counts range from zero (See interview below) to a maximum of four thousand and fifty-three.
Despite these discrepancies, every account of SCP-9145-1 involves two recurring central figures:
-Cog: A young boy wearing a leather jacket, flight goggles with a feather, and cargo trousers, typically shown with a broad smile and a red-white neckerchief made to look like the American flag.
-Junks: A large mechanical colossus adorned with the same style of hat and feather as Cog. Often depicted as Cog’s friend, companion, or guardian.
The tone of SCP-9145-1 is described as whimsical, nostalgic, and reminiscent of early 20th-century American animation, accompanied by upbeat jazz instrumentation.
Approximately 30 seconds after viewing begins, the subject will enter a euphoric trance state characterized by slowed motor response, mild smiling, and a notable drop in anxiety and aggression. This state lasts for the entire duration of the “episode,” typically ranging from 20 minutes to over an hour. Subjects describe the experience as “the happiest they’ve ever felt.”
Upon completion, viewers retain fragmented memories of the episode, usually centering on “adventures” involving Cog and Junks. Several have described a persistent desire to “go back” or “see how it ends,” followed by symptoms of depression, withdrawal, or emotional detachment lasting 2-5 days post-viewing.
**Special Containment Procedures:**
SCP-9145 is to be stored in a standard non-electronic containment locker within Site-██'s Anomalous Items Wing. The locker must be lined with non-conductive materials and kept at least 50 meters away from any electronic devices or wiring systems to prevent accidental shorting.
Access to SCP-9145 for testing requires written approval from at least two Level 3 personnel. Testing is to occur within Observation Chamber 3C, which has been retrofitted for full analog operation (manual projector, reel, crank-operated recording systems). No digital or electronic devices are to be brought within 50 meters of the object during testing.
Personnel assigned to SCP-9145 testing must undergo psychological evaluation before exposure, and amnestic treatment shall be administered upon the completion of the test. Observation of test subjects post-viewing is mandatory for a minimum of 72 hours.
**Special Incident 9145-01:**
During a routine exposure test on ██/██/20██, D-9184 exhibited atypical behavior after approximately 15 minutes of viewing SCP-9145. Dr█████ noted that the image on-screen appeared to distort and ripple as D-9184 began to move toward the projection. Dr█████ made to intervene, but fell unconscious to unknown means. At 15:17:32, the subject physically vanished from the testing chamber.
Three days later, at 0300 hours, D-9184 reappeared within the same chamber, lying motionless beside the projector. The subject was alive but completely unresponsive, exhibiting no awareness of surroundings. Neurological scans showed persistent delta wave activity consistent with REM sleep, yet all attempts to awaken or communicate with the subject have failed.
Upon later inspection, SCP-9145’s film length had increased by approximately 0.8 meters. Visual inspection using special tools to avoid the effects of the anomalous field around SCP-9145 revealed new frames depicting a crudely animated humanoid silhouette wearing the standard orange jumpsuit of a D-class personnel, positioned beside Cog and Junks.
**Special Incident 9145-02:**
**Addendum 9145-A — Virtual Interview Excerpt on the events following the viewing of Episode Zero:**
Interviewed: D-4119 (Post-viewing)
Interviewer: █████
**<Begin Log>**
█████: I apologize to you about bringing you in so soon, but it is imperative that we receive this information while you’re still…lucid. Tell me, how are you feeling?
D-4119: I…I dunno. Happy? Why are we talking like this and not in person?
█████: Because we haven’t confirmed the existence of an unknown effect of the viewing of SCP-9145. Would you mind giving a definite answer? Foundation protocol doesn’t allow uncertain details when it comes to anomalous objects like 9145.
D-4119:I…am feelin’ kinda bummed. After euphoria like that, everything else becomes rather dull. You should try it. You got mad bags.
█████:**<Muted>** Noting exaggerated movements and excessive mood spikes from 4119. Showing signs of withdrawal even after just twenty minutes of exposure. Bloodshot eyes and constant loss of focus are constant with the effects noticed in past 9145 subjects.
D-4119:Dude? I believe you’re muted.
█████:**<Unmuted>** Would you mind recounting your experience for us?
D-4119: Yeah, I would. Why should I tell you?
**[Cut to eight minutes later]**
D-4119: Alright, alright, I’ll talk.
█████:Thank you for your cooperation.
D-4119:Alright, so the film started, yeah? And then I saw this big victorian-like sign, it had oil all over it.
█████:I assume it said something along the lines of ‘Episode Number blank’ and ‘The tale of blank’?
D-4119: Yeah, how’d you know?
█████:**<Muted>** Events stay constant with that of past subjects, added to research log.
█████:**<Unmuted>** Which episode did it say?
D-4119: Ah-episode zero.
█████:I apologize, repeat that?
D-4119: Episode zero, sir.
█████:**<Muted>** Episode numbered below the previous record of forty-five, notifying the research department.
█████:**<Unmuted>** Would you mind recounting the events that occurred?
D-4119: Yeah, so the intro started and I heard this jingle, yeah? A real earworm, goes like-
█████:**<Interrupting>** Please skip past the introduction.
D-4119:Alright, jeez, just don’t pull the guard again. We get into it, and there’s this kiddo, looks about eight or eleven, and this cloud of smoke says his name is ‘Cog’ or somethin’. He does a little jig across the screen and then this guy’s robot head drops from the ceiling, then oil splashes and he’s introduced as ‘Junks’. A body walks across the screen and picks up the head, putting it back on his shoulders, then they do some more dancin’-
█████:**<Interrupting>** And then they get on a flying ship and fly away, correct?
D-4119: Yeah, have you seen it too?
█████:Please continue.
D-4119:Well from there, the camera zooms in on this little town that looks like it’s made entirely of gears and pipes. It cuts to a small little hut, then the door bursts open and Cog and Junks shove their way out.
█████:And then?
**<Researcher █████ joins call>**
D-4119: They talk to this dude who just kinda appears out of the house next door, some old man, and then they…huh.
█████:I assume you do not recall events continuing from that point?
D-4119:I mean…I guess, yeah. I guess there’s a bit here and there but all I can fully remember is the end and the beginning.
R-█████:Please describe the end for us, if you wouldn’t mind.
D-4119:Who are you?
█████:My superiors. Now if you wouldn’t rather talk to the guard again, please do as they ask.
D-4119:Jeez, K, fine. At the end, they finished working on whatever the hell it was, some form of steampunk-y ship that the old guy rode away on. Once that was done, they danced all the way back to their hut. And then the creepiest thing happened.
R-█████:Yes?
D-4119: They looked //at// me. Then they said my name. I know it's fake, but that's a really impressive coincidence. Anyway, they said something along the lines of "Hey █████, next time you come, bring your friends."
█████:Is that all?
D-4119: Well, yeah. After that, hysteria kinda kicked in and I forget the rest.
R-█████:Well, thank you for your time. Your guard will escort you back to your cell.
D-4119:Hey...is there a chance I'll be able to see another episode? I want to see what happens next.
█████:Perhaps.
<D-4119 leaves call>
█████:We shall have him monitored for the next seventy-two hours, as per protocol. Is there anything else we should do?
R-█████: Keep him in solitary, and administer amnestics only once we're sure that we've gotten all we can from him. We don't know what cognitohazards may occur when the viewing of any episode below forty five occurs.
**<End Log>**
Addendum 9145-B-Note from Dr.█████:
After this event, D-4119 was brought to his cell, and after the standard seventy-two hours of observation, he was shown to exhibit no abnormal symptoms aside from those previously seen in other subjects. Once that was confirmed, D-4119 was administered amnestics and brought to solitary. However, at the next scheduled time for his departure, his cell was checked and he was found dead, apparently having torn his own heart out.Excerpts of note:
