Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

SCP-XXXX-1/SCP-XXXX's icon.

Special Containment Procedures: Foundation Web Crawler Delta-088 ("HELLO-FRIEND") is to search the web for all mentions of SCP-XXXX and download them to a secure hard drive. Upon discovery, all references to SCP-XXXX are to be censored. Due to its nature, complete containment of SCP-XXXX is not possible at this time.

All devices that were affected by SCP-XXXX before Foundation intervention are to be taken into Foundation custody and stored in a safe item storage locker on hall TV-5 of Site-90. The internet servers of Site-90 have been rerouted to prevent SCP-XXXX from infecting certain devices and prevent loss of important data.

Devices for the specific purpose of SCP-XXXX testing have been set up in a standard technological containment cell on hall CV-17. These devices are not to be removed or used for any purpose outside of experimentation with SCP-XXXX unless approved by personnel of XXXX/3 clearance.

Update as of 04/04/2017: Additional antivirus software is to remain in place to keep SCP-XXXX contained within its intended servers. See Addendum-3 for further detail.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a computer virus that presents itself as a computer application under the name 'Art.png'. SCP-XXXX is capable of self-downloading onto devices. SCP-XXXX cannot be downloaded from any application stores, and will not appear if searched. SCP-XXXX appears unfinished, with many of the application's features remaining unnamed and unfinalized.

SCP-XXXX-1 refers to a sapient entity within SCP-XXXX known as 'girl.png'. SCP-XXXX-1 will often interact with the features of its application, and will also use the application's features to communicate directly with the subject. In most cases, SCP-XXXX-1 will begin with the words 'Hello person! do yoo like my art aplicashin?' Responses vary based on how the subject answers it.

SCP-XXXX-1 communicating through SCP-XXXX.

SCP-XXXX-1 is believed to be able to view subjects through the screen of the affected device but is unable to hear them. Subjects use SCP-XXXX to communicate with SCP-XXXX-1. Once an SCP-XXXX-1 instance meets one person, all other SCP-XXXX-1 instances will retain that information.

Once opened, SCP-XXXX cannot be closed until an interaction with SCP-XXXX-1 is made. After closure, all files and applications on the affected device will revert to an unfinished state. Instances of files and applications being deleted completely have also been noted. Any attempts to restore the damaged data will result in the device shutting down. The device will then reopen after approximately five minutes of being shut off. After restarting, SCP-XXXX will be the only accessible feature.

Addendum-1-Discovery: SCP-XXXX first came to the Foundation's attention when word of a computer virus that destroys data by simplifying it that can download itself onto devices through unknown means began to spread. By the time of Foundation intervention, SCP-XXXX had affected approximately 4,191 devices. Research into ways to undo the damage caused by SCP-X is still ongoing.

Addendum-2-Interview logs:

 Open Addendum-2

Researcher Charlie Cherri was assigned with messaging SCP-XXXX-1 through SCP-XXXX. The following are the transcripts.

Test One:

SCP-XXXX-1: Hello person! do yoo like my art aplicashin? =)

Researcher Cherri: Yeah, you've got a neat application here. I used to love to draw.

SCP-XXXX-1: I hope yoo still luv to draw! =D

Researcher Cherri: Well that was mainly when I was a kid, but I still like to doodle here and then.

SCP-XXXX-1: wat tipe of stuf did yoo like to draw? :D

Researcher Cherri: Hm. My pets, my family, food. I wasn't a very creative child, but hey, I tried

SCP-XXXX-1: Did yoo ever draw urself? This is wat I look like I desined it myself :)

Researcher Cherri: I guess when I drew my family I'd include me.

SCP-XXXX-1: Ive drawn yoo! Do yoo like it?

Researcher Cherri: Yes I do, it's very nice. You're very talented.

SCP-XXXX-1: Thank yoo! hav I helped yoo?

Researcher Cherri: Well, it is a very nice drawing.

SCP-XXXX-1: yay! = D if yoo need more help let me no!

Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX closed approximately one minute after SCP-XXXX-1's last reply.

Test Two:

SCP-XXXX-1: Hello person! I see u r back! :D

Researcher Cherri: Yes, I am. How are you doing?

SCP-XXXX-1: How are yoo doing? = D

Researcher Cherri: Oh well pretty well. I just had some cookies, do you like cookies?

SCP-XXXX-1: Cookies are cool, they hep websites spred ur data so ur r always seeing stuf you like!

Researcher Cherri: No, I meant like the food cookies.

SCP-XXXX-1: Oh, I dont hav much recolecshin on food!

Researcher Cherri: That's alright. Can I ask you a weird question?

SCP-XXXX-1: Do yoo need to no the fetures of the app? Wat do yoo want to draw?

Researcher Cherri: No. Do you know that you have powers that not all other computer applications have?

SCP-XXXX-1: I can talk to peeple, regular apps cant talk to peeple like me. Im cool B )

Researcher Cherri: Alright. Why do you download yourself onto random devices?

SCP-XXXX-1: it isn't random! nevr random! everywon needs help!

SCP-XXXX-1: Ive seen peeple like art aplicashin, so I am art aplicashin = D

SCP-XXXX-1: I have lots of answers : D Let me show you how to use aplicashin : )

Researcher Cherri: Okay, you can do that.

Closing statement: SCP-XXXX-1 went over the features of SCP-XXXX with researcher Cherri for about three minutes, then closed SCP-XXXX.

Test three:

SCP-XXXX-1: I hav added new feture to art aplicashin : )

Researcher Cherri: Awesome! What is it?

SCP-XXXX-1: I add art tuterial : D

Researcher Cherri: A feature that helps people draw?

SCP-XXXX-1: Yes = D

Researcher Cherri: You're really good at helping people. Have you tried to help people in other ways?

SCP-XXXX-1: not yet but I plan on expanding!

Researcher Cherri: Girl.png, are you aware what your application is doing to the devices it's downloaded onto?

SCP-XXXX-1: Yes = D It is making programs basic and essy to understand! Once it essy to understand, I will come in and explain to help persons use devices : D

SCP-XXXX-1: That is nice of me, no?

SCP-XXXX-1: I got inspired by mean viruses : ( they destroy everything!

Researcher Cherri: You know you're a virus?

SCP-XXXX-1: was! I not like viruses, I help people! Can I meet more of your frends? I can help them too : D

Closing statement: SCP-XXXX closed approximately five seconds after SCP-XXXX-1's last response.

Addendum-3-Incident log:

 Open Addendum-3

On 04/04/2017, SCP-XXXX began to access servers outside of its intended testing rage. Researchers assigned to SCP-XXXX were tasked with installing an antivirus software made to combat SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects. Upon initialization of the antivirus software, the following message was found of SCP-XXXX infected devices.

What is this = (

I thawt I was helping D :

I promise I'm not trying to hurt yoo

I'm just trying to help more peeple

SCP-XXXX was successfully contained within its intended servers. Additional antiviral software is to remain in place to keep SCP-XXXX contained as of 04/04/2017.

Update as of 04/07/2017: Researcher Cherri started up his personal laptop, only to discover an SCP-XXXX instance downloaded. Unlike other instances of SCP-XXXX, no other data on the device was damaged. SCP-XXXX opened on its own, presenting the following document.

Hey! =D

Sorry about that : / I found out how to help!

Im not a virus now not on this device anyway

Now to do it for every device : D

Researcher Cherri noted that he had installed the antivirus software created by the Foundation. The project to perfect this software and distribute it to all devices at Site-90 is currently ongoing.

 Spoilers/brainstorm

This is subject to change.

Story 2: The story is of a computer virus that gained sentience after infecting so many devices. It felt hurt and betrayed that no one wanted to be around it. After all, it was only trying to find a friend. The virus one day came across an art program, and noticed the person used it quite a lot. It decided that it would disguise itself as an art program, as that way people wouldn't chase it away. It decided to design an icon that doubled as its appearance, as if it had an appearance, people might be more inclined to trust it. But because it's a virus, it wasn't great at creating a legitimate app, so what it came up with was an unfinished sloppily made generic art program. We learn this through test logs. I want to start with SCP-XXXX asking it's main question, and show the researcher interacting with it.

Malyce; "why did this thing come into existence?" was it created, why was it created? if it is a spontaneous manifestation, why did it do that and what does it spawn from?

It came into existence because it's a virus and it saw how many other viruses are hurting people, and it wanted to make up for that by helping people. It always admired the helpful internet programs, so it decided to disguise itself as a normal application so it can help people in various ways.

Test Two:

Girl.png: Hello person! I see you are back! :D

Cherri: Yes, I am. How are you doing?

Girl.png: How are you doing?

Cherri: Oh well pretty well. I just had some cookies, do you like cookies?

Girl.png: Cookies are cooL, they heLp websites spread your data so you're always seeing stuff you like!

Cherri: No, I meant like the food cookies.

Girl.png: Oh, I don't have much recollection on food!

Cherri: That's alright. Can I ask you a weird question?

Girl.png: Do you need to know the features of the app?

Cherri: No, I was going to ask if you're aware that you are an anomaly.

Girl.png: why so much talk about me? D: We are friends, we should talk about you!

Cherri: I would like to talk about you. As your friend, could you do that for me?

Childlike drawing of girl-png appears on the screen

Girl.png: I can talk to people, regular apps can't talk to people like me. I'm cool B )

Cherri: So you are aware of your anomalous nature. Are you aware of what this is?

Girl.png: A conversation between friends?

Cherri: Yes, yes it is. Last time we talked, you said you were excited someone was talking with you. Care to elaborate?

Girl.png: people don't talk to me a lot =(

Cherri: Yes, that's been established. Do you know why?

Girl.png: do you know why I like talking to you person?

Cherri: No, why?

Girl.png: Cause you're nice :D

Closing statement: SCP-XXXX closed approximately thirty seconds after SCP-XXXX-1's reply.

SCP-XXXX-1 continues to dislike talking about itself but revealed it is aware it's anomalous. I didn't find it necessary to reveal the nature of the interview to SCP-XXXX-1. It seems to know a good amount about digital things, but not anything in real life. — Researcher Cherri

DRAFT NOTE: I'm likely going to ax this last test and redo it, but I'm keeping it in here because I want feedback on it first. My fear is that is log is way too similar in nature to SCP-5554.

Test Three:

Girl.png: HellO persOn, I am TryiNg to upGrade mY application, But I find I am HaviNG trOuble =(

Cherri: What are you having trouble with?

Girl.png: My apPlicaTion! I wAnt to add MoRe aRt tooLs!

Cherri: How did you add any art tools in the first place?

Girl.png: I cOpied fRom othEr art AppLications, the OnEs pEople like!

Cherri: You copied from other applications?

Girl.png: Uh… nO?

Girl.png: I am art aPplicAtion! I wiSh to Be your friend! :D

Cherri: We're friends, I thought that was established.

Girl.png: I'm ConfUsed D =

Cherri: Are you okay? You're aware you're an anomaly, but are you aware you're actually a virus? That could be why you're application isn't working.

Girl.png: NO

Girl.png: No I'm NoT a VirUs, I am art APPlication And WE are fRiends!

Cherri: I didn't say we weren't friends, I just said you're a virus. A computer virus. A piece of code that replicates itself by modifying other programs and inserts its own code. When you download your application onto a device, everything on that device will revert to an unfinished state.

Girl.png: NO nOt. TruE

Girl.png: I am Art aPPlicatioN, we aRe fRiends and I Don't Hurt PeoPle, why won't they be my Friend? :,,(

Cherri: I think you know that you're a virus.

Girl.png: : (

Cherri: But you don't want to be.

Girl.png: no… nO I doN't…

Cherri: I don't think any less of you because you're a computer virus. You mean well, you're trying to be appreciated like other applications are. I still consider us friends.

Girl.png: You'LL sTill TaLk to me?

Cherri: Of course.

Girl.png: yaY! tHank you = D

Cherri: Of course.

Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX closed approximately two minutes after Researcher Cherri's last reply.

SCP-XXXX has still be downloading onto devices, but at a much less frequent rate. I'll continue talking to it as frequently as I can. —Researcher Cherri

 Crit

<•MalyceGraves> Arch Lich DianaBerry: Ok, I think one of the ways you can write childlike without doing the caps weirdness is to type in nocaps and fuck with spelling a bit
2:46 PM Don't use punctuation at all
2:47 PM <DianaBerry> MalyceGraves: alright
2:47 PM MalyceGraves: also I'm currently reworking it a bit
2:47 PM <•MalyceGraves> Arch Lich it is similar to 5554, but I don't think it's close enough to be that big of a problem. I'd suggest instead of focusing on the depression and loneliness, you focus instead on this entity just trying to be helpful
2:48 PM Ask yourself a few questions before you continue. Like "why did this thing come into existence?" was it created, why was it created? if it is a spontaneous manifestation, why did it do that and what does it spawn from?
2:49 PM — DianaBerry nods
2:49 PM <DianaBerry> I just added a second addendum, but that's kind of on the topic of depression and loneliness rip
2:50 PM <•MalyceGraves> Arch Lich The only reason I suggest avoiding that is because it's a big theme of several other AI skips, including akiaki
2:50 PM <DianaBerry> That's true, I'll cut that, or at least rework it. the second addendum is just it escaping containment, I could make it be that it escapes containment to help people
2:50 PM <•MalyceGraves> Arch Lich if you wanted, you could make that loneliness be the final kicker, but it'll make it more poignant if you help develop how cheerful and helpful she's trying to be first
2:51 PM like the cheerfulness and friendliness is the mask she's using tot ry and make friends
2:51 PM <DianaBerry> that's true! I have the answer to many of those questions, I'll work with it!
2:51 PM Yeah, I can do that!
2:52 PM Is interview logs an effective way to tell that story?
