SCP-1653 - I Want

Item #: SCP-1653

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1653-A is to be contained in a form-fitting

shipping crate lined with impact-resistant packaging foam, followed by a layer of
lead. The top of the crate is to be independently capable of being opened to allow
light in if needed. SCP-1653-A is not to be exposed to an unprotected wireless
network.

SCP-1653-B are to be wrapped in plastic and submerged in concrete blocks in a

containment chamber on any floor below the one where SCP-1653-A is kept. If they
are a necessity, any inclined walkways connecting said floors are to be inclined
greater than 20°, though a total lack of inclined walkways is strongly recommended.
SCP-1653-B are not to be given access to SCP-1653-A.

Description: SCP-1653-A is a cylindrical column of solid glass, 310 cm tall by 31.8

cm in diameter. Its surface is etched with 8 shallow, smooth rows of a square Greek
spiral design which thread around it at a 30° angle from horizontal. It is
inanimate.

SCP-1653-A-1 is a flattened cylindrical column of human brain tissue, 20.3 cm tall

by 27.6 cm in diameter. It is situated inside SCP-1653-A, 5 cm below its top
surface and completely enclosed in glass. Its structure is radially symmetric. SCP-
1653-A-1 has the remnants of a brainstem and spinal cord wrapped underneath it.
Additionally, its pineal gland is exposed as a flat circle at the top and
apparently acts as its sole sensory organ. SCP-1653-A-1 is alive and displays
neural activity consistent with that of a human. How SCP-1653-A-1 receives
nutrition is unknown, although increasing its exposure to overhead light increases
its neural activity.

SCP-1653-A is capable of acquiring a connection to the Internet to a limited extent

when in the presence of an unprotected wireless network. Prior to recovery, SCP-
1653-A was located in the courtyard of the ████ ████████ Memorial Hospital in
██████████, Michigan. There, it broadcasted two Tweets each day to the Twitter
account @███████; the first would be a declaration of whether it was currently
sunny or cloudy, and the second would be a statement of a desire for a personal
characteristic or belonging. The account gathered 21 followers before it was
terminated by the Foundation; all have been tracked and amnesticized. SCP-1653-A
was replaced in the courtyard by a replica. Shortly after SCP-1653-A was
discovered, SCP-1653-B were found locked in a disused basement walk-in freezer at
the ████ ████████ Memorial Hospital, from which they were attempting to escape.

SCP-1653-B are a set of three elongated tetrahedrons constructed from polished

green stainless steel. Each is 50 cm tall and 20 cm to a base edge, with a purple
and yellow flower design drawn on each face. Their construction is seamless and
prevents internal imaging, but they seem to be partially filled with one or more
viscous liquids of unknown nature. SCP-1653-B are animate and hostile, typically
gliding on their bases at speeds of up to 49 kph on surfaces inclined up to 20°.
While moving they produce quiet bursts of white noise. They have not responded well
to containment; active breach attempts occurred almost daily until the current
containment procedures were put into place. SCP-1653-B's apparent motive is to
reach SCP-1653-A and attach themselves to its surface — details after that point
are not known.

Addendum: Sample Tweets1 from the Twitter account associated with SCP-1653-A.
