Item#: SCP-1045 Special Containment Procedures: Item SCP-1045 is to be kept under lockdown in an electromagnetically sealed room under constant guard. The guards must be rotated out, disposed of, and replaced every six weeks. Guards must number 10 or greater and should be recruited from <EXPUNGED> with ranks no lower than <EXPUNGED>. In the event of infiltration of this object's defenses and subsequent release of data (as unlikely as that is; read Appendix C for details), initiate a code five lockdown and terminate everyone assigned to the project. The device itself is considered harmless and requires few precautions to handle aside from a competent mind and a certain degree of skill with computers. It should be noted that attempting to dismantle this device has proven lethal and it is mandatory that any object that could be used to pry it apart or remove parts of it be confiscated from anyone accessing it (this includes all writing utensils more solid than wax crayons). Access to this device is restricted to personnel with Class IV clearance and to personnel reporting directly to <EXPUNGED>.

Description: SCP-1045 appears to be a laptop computer of make and model Sony VAIO VGN-N130G/W. The laptop was discovered in an abandoned vehicle outside the White House by a bomb squad after a threat was called in; its unusual properties were discovered later in a laboratory setting. It shows normal signs of wear for a laptop of its age on the exterior, but when researchers at facility <OMITTED> attempted to open it to analyze the internal components, the laptop emitted a lethal amount of electricity that killed four researchers and injured two others. Magnetic resonance imaging was used under heavily controlled circumstances to analyze its interior. The parts used exactly matched the parts described on the schematic for a laptop of its particular make and model, but they appeared to visual examination to be damaged to a point where a normal computer would not be able to function.

SCP-1045 has a number of unusual properties which make it both an invaluable tool in maintaining national security, as well as a tremendous danger to the security of the US government. The GUI (graphical user interface) and operating system have been identified as being completely unique from anything seen on earth before. The system has a native compiler that can make use of any programming language we have tested it with, including languages that did not exist at the time of this computer's creation. The computer can display messages in any language and seems to automatically "know" which language a user would prefer it to work in, suggesting it may be observing telepathically through an unknown means. Programmers contracted to write test applications on this laptop reported that most programs ran normally and returned appropriate results; however, attempts to use Date and Time functions returned nonsense values and sometimes caused the computer to crash (see Appendix A).

SCP-1045 appears to have once belonged to a college-age male who has yet to be found and is believed to be deceased. The previous owner's documents are present on the computer, and can only be viewed occasionally (see Appendix D). The computer seems to be able to encrypt and decrypt files and even parts of its operating system at its own will using an unknown algorithm. It also has demonstrated the ability to compose new programs at will, although many of these programs seem to have little use. One particular program (labelled under the nonsensical name "akdjkj39000xd") when compiled, clocked the processor speed at a number exponentially higher than the most powerful commercial grade supercomputers and gave storage and memory readings that exceeded all non-military and non-government computers in the world combined.

The laptop is incompatible with all forms of external devices to copy data at our current disposal, including military-grade and top-secret grade storage. This includes all printers, floppy disks, CD's, DVD's, USB or "FireWire" devices, and all <EXPUNGED>. Using these devices and storage mediums with SCP-1045 frequently renders them irreparably unreadable. As such, if any data is to be retrieved from this laptop, it must be copied by hand to paper using a wax crayon, following the Special Containment Protocols listed above. All attempts to communicate with the laptop via network have failed and have resulted in data corruption on Epsilon Facility's mainframes.

Appendix A: This computer has been observed to "crash" on occasions, but since its discovery it has remained powered even when left unplugged from any external power source for three months on end. In the event that it does crash, notify a supervising personnel with a Class V clearance. It does not require repairs; it seems to be able to debug itself. On some occasions during independent activity, it will "crash" seemingly to prevent scientists from viewing what it was doing at the time of entry, further suggesting some form of cognition.

Appendix B: (RESTRICTED TO PERSONNEL WITH CLASS VII CLEARANCE)

Appendix C: One of the laptop's most unusual properties is that it has been, since its discovery, securely connected to every single wireless network in the world, regardless of the foreign network's security measures. It has top-level access to all networks but despite this, has not been detected on any network.

Appendix D: The files present on the computer appear to be of little consequence at this point, and appear to be journals of a male college student with a mental disorder. Some researchers claim that the file size of these journals has grown since the laptop was brought to the facility, but attempts to read these files usually end in the computer crashing before any new information is gleaned.

Good read. I love these things.
