SCP-079

ITEM #: 079

OBJECT CLASS: Euclid

CLEARANCE LEVEL: 2

CATEGORY: Sentient Object

SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: SCP-079 is to be contained in an Mk-3 Electronic Anomaly Isolation Chamber (EAIC), lined with one (1) inch of lead and surrounded by a Faraday cage. Access to the chamber is restricted to Level-03 or higher personnel.

At no time is SCP-079 to be connected to any cable, satellite, Internet, or Ethernet source. Any attempts to connect SCP-079 to such a source will result in immediate termination.

DESCRIPTION: SCP-079 is an Exidy Sorcerer microcomputer built in 1979. It’s software is the result of a college student’s attempt to create a continuously self-evolving computer program. It has revolved to the point where the device’s hardware should be utterly incapable of handling the software program.

SCP-079 is sentient, and has passed the Turing Test. It can be quite conversational, though rude and hateful in tone. Although it’s memory is limited to only 24 32 39 hours, it has not forgotten it’s malevolent desire to escape.

SCP-079 is capable of hacking and controlling almost any electronic system it is connected to, as shown when it was used to cause the catastrophic containment breach at Site-48 in 2002.
