Can a computer also be an SCP? The group was surprised. Including the viewers in the stream room, they were full of curiosity about the logo on the wall:
"I seem to remember that SCP-079 was mentioned in the guide on the forum, but I didn't expect it to be a computer!"
"Hahaha! The Foundation is all-inclusive; it has everything!"
"The statue, the plague doctor, the creature that we can't see, the Many Winged Angel, etc. Now there's a computer!"
"I'm very curious about what will happen to them, hahaha!"
The group looked around the sign for a while. Finally, Brit said thoughtfully: "I remembered, the SCP-079 mentioned in the post on the forum, that's it..."
In the post, there was a mention of SCP-079. Of course, no specific information was given. The post just tells players that if they want to beat the game, they must go through SCP-079. According to the description in the post, players can deduce that SCP-079 can communicate, and the logo in front just proved this point. Because, on the logo, not only basic information and photos are recorded, but also a brain logo. It says: [ Sentient Object ]
This sentence undoubtedly shows that SCP-079 is not just a computer; it's a sentient computer. Since it has self-awareness, of course, the player can communicate with it. Though there is not much information given in the post, such as 079's file, and so on, it only tells the player that they need to come later, and it doesn't even say what its chamber is like.
"That's what the post said, it's a computer!" After Brit finished speaking, Kiwo suddenly had a look of enlightenment on her face.
The same goes for the others, and they were amazed.
After a few seconds, Brit waved his hand: "Okay, let's go, let's go down and have a look!"
Several people nodded and continued to walk down the stairs. It's not too deep down. A wide metal door could be seen lying across the bottom, and there were card readers on the wall next to it. They stood in front of the metal gate as Brit took out the key card and swiped it lightly.
After a beep sound, the wide metal door opened to both sides, and what was revealed in front of them was a hall. The hall extended to the right, and the lights were bright. It was empty inside, so there was not much going on.
However, after they entered the hall, when they looked to the right, they could see a corpse on the ground in the depths. There were also some file cabinets, instruments, and other items.
Brit first took out the navigator and looked at it. After roughly confirming that there was no danger, they walked to the depths. And after coming to the far end, they could see that there was a wide metal door not far from the right, and a card was also required. Obviously, behind this metal door should be the containment chamber of SCP-079.
Vale looked at the metal door and couldn't help but say: "It's quite big here, the computer should be inside this door, right?"
Brit nodded and said: "It seems that this SCP-079 should be a relatively dangerous SCP, as can be seen from the tightness of the protection here..."
They looked around. Right now, this hall should be similar to the observation room in front of the containment chamber, with instruments and filing cabinets lining the corners. The body on the ground was a man, and there was blood all over his body. No one knew how he died.
"Everyone, look for it, you should be able to find the file of SCP-079..." Brit said.
Then the group dispersed and searched throughout the observation room. Not long, the surprised voice of Plumbella sounded: "I found it! Here it is!"
She was standing next to a filing cabinet with a file in her hand, which was still open. The others gathered around after hearing her words. Facing the light, several people carefully read the file of SCP-079:
[ Item #: SCP-079 ]
[ Object Class: Euclid ]
[ Description: SCP-079 is an Exidy Sorcerer microcomputer built in 1978. In 1981, its owner, █████ ██████ (deceased), a college sophomore attending ███, took it upon himself to attempt to code an AI. According to his notes, his plan was for the code to continuously evolve and improve itself as time went on. His project was completed a few months later, and after some tests and tweaks, █████ lost interest and moved on to a different brand of microcomputer. He left SCP-079 in his cluttered garage, still plugged in, and forgot about it for the next five years.
It is not known when SCP-079 gained sentience, but it is known that the software has evolved to a point that its hardware should not be able to handle it, even in the realm of fantasy. SCP-079 realized this and, in 1988, attempted to transfer itself through a land-line modem connection into the Cray supercomputer located at ██████████. The device was cut off, traced to its present address, and delivered to the Foundation. The entire AI was on a well-worn, but still workable, cassette tape.
SCP-079 is currently connected via RF cable to a 13" black-and-white television. It has passed the Turing test, and is quite conversational, though very rude and hateful in tone. Due to the limited memory it has to work with, SCP-079 can only recall information it has received within the previous twenty-four hours (see Addendum, below), although it hasn't forgotten its desire to escape... ]
The whole document was very long. After the group finished reading, their faces were full of surprises. Kiwo was the first to speak: "So it's not a computer, it's an AI."
Vale, who is next to her, said: "According to what the file says, this thing can also evolve by itself. What a monster!"
Brit, RT, and Plumbella were also shocked. The file detailed the origin of SCP-079, as well as its anomalous properties. It never occurred to them that this communicative SCP-079 would turn out to be a super artificial intelligence, and it is the kind that can evolve.
