Description: SCP-6000 is a radio signal of unknown origin being received by Lunar Site-35 every 24 hours. Attempts to locate the source of SCP-6000 have been inconclusive, though it has been ascertained that the signal is coming from outside the Solar System.

SCP-6000 consists of a short repeating message in UTF-8. The message is constructed of a series of forty-four dots laid out in a complex position pattern, interspersed with empty space in certain locations. Due to the extrasolar nature of SCP-6000's origin, this is believed to be an extraterrestrial communication or language system. At the moment, decryption of SCP-6000 is considered a Class-A priority; a team of cryptographers, linguists, and radio technicians are stations at Lunar Site-34 for this purpose.

Attempt Log:

Attempt # Date Comment Output
1 1.30.14 Ran it through all modern language translation systems for similarities. A formality. Translation Failed.
2 2.03.14 Ran it against dot-based ancient languages — no distinct similarities. Translation Failed.
3 2.07.14 Ran a new task on the analysis computers — attempting to discern the complexity of a dot-based language. Translation Failed.
[145 lines ommitted ]
149 5.29.14 New analysis computers arrived, broke them in by trying to simulate all possible divisions of the message. Translation Failed.
150 6.30.14 Manipulated base through flips, rotations, reflections, and several stretches and compressions before putting it through previous suite of analyses. Translation Failed.
[96 lines ommitted ]
247 10.01.14 Not message at all? Maybe art? Compare for logical consistencies or repetitions of symbols to confirm if even language. Translation Failed.
248 10.13.14 Connect the dots? Worth a try. Translation Failed.
249 10.20.14 Greenhorn suggested we run it through nonverbal languages screener — poor guy thinks it'll really be that easy. Translation Success!

Within .5 seconds of the scanning, screener had produced an English translation of SCP-6000. It was realized that no individual on the project had recognized the transmission as a form of Braille. Disciplinary consequences are current pending.

Special Containment Procedures: Testing of SCP-6000 is currently prohibited, following Incident 6000.2.

Description: SCP-6000 is a small, smooth metal sphere approximately 24mm in diameter. The exterior of SCP-6000 is constructed of steel with a thin plastic casing; while its interior is inaccessible, it is believed to house several discrete paratechnological components. The only distinguishing physical feature on SCP-6000 is a small imprint of the Anderson Robotics trade logo on one side, circumscribed by the words "A.R: BUILDING BETTER PEOPLE".

SCP-6000 is believed to function as a prosthetic eye.

Discovery: SCP-6000 was seized alongside a number of other Anderson Robotics products at a covert sting operation. While other products were of previously-identified make and model, SCP-6000 had never previously been encountered. A cursory examination revealed that Anderson Robotics did not acknowledge or market the existence of SCP-6000 on any public-facing forum. The packaging it was seized in contained only the item and a leaflet.

ANDERSON ROBOTICS

PROTOTYPE: OCULUS

NOT FOR RESALE

THE BODY IS A TEMPLE. IT CAN BE IMPROVED.

The remaining pages of the leaflet contained detailed instructions on the installation of SCP-6000. Foundation Medical staff were enlisted to assist with the installation of SCP-6000 into recently-blinded Foundation Security personnel Jeremiah Harrison as a field test.

The surgery lasted 6 hours and was completed with no complications (See Medical Records 6000.2). Harrison was placed into aftercare and expected to make a full recovery. A post-surgery interview was conducted after he regained consciousness.

INTERVIEWER: DR. CHARLES HUNT

SUBJECT: JEREMIAH HARRISON

HUNT: Hey, Jerry. How you doing?

HARRISON: Agh- Charlie? That you?

HUNT: Yeah, it's me. You okay?

HARRISON: Doing pretty good, all things considered. I heard the operation was a success - so when can I take this gauze off?

HUNT: Right, yeah, that's what I'm here about. We wantes to do the first test of the, uh, your eye, on camera. For recordkeeping.

HARRISON: Yeah, fine by me. Foundation finally found the budget for more than four cyborg soldiers and all I get is an eye.

[Laughter.]

HUNT: So, we're gonna hook up a recorder to the feed from the eye, so we can see what you're seeing, make sure everything's working right. I'll ask you some questions, and then we'll get out of yout hair.

[Extraneous dialogue abridged.]

HUNT: Okay, here we go. Unwrapping the guaze…

**HARRISON:* I'm ready.

HUNT: And… voila!

HARRISON: Oh Jesus! What the fuck!

HUNT: Wh- what's wrong? Jerry?

**HARRISON: CHARLIE! CHARLIE WHAT THE FUCK!

HUNT: I-

HARRISON: GET THEM OFF ME! FUCK, THEY'RE IN MY-

[HARRISON begins convulsing.]

HUNT: Get me a crash scart in here, now! Jerry, hang on buddy, just listen to the sound of my-

HARRISON: CHARLIE!

[HARRISON is openly sobbing. His breathing is ragged and strained. He thrashes his arms in front of him, still convulsing, before feeling his way to HUNT's face and pulled him closer.]

HARRISON: I can see them, Charlie. Fuck, I can see them. Please, please, help-

HUNT: Hold still, Jerry, just stay still, I'm wrapping you back u-

HARRISON: It's too late, Charlie. I already seen 'em. I seen Gods.

[HARRISON releases HUNT and falls back into bed, convulsing. HUNT finishes rewrapping the gauze and nurses crowd around HARRISON, whose vital signs are rapidly rising. Thirty-three seconds later, Jeremiah Harrison expires.]

ENDING 1

Cause of death was determined to be asphyxiation; however, no obstructions were found in Harrison's airway during autopsy. Following his death, all footage recorded from SCP-6000 was processed through a SCRAMBLE system to redact and block all visual cognitohazards. The output was a still black video, 5 hours and 23 minutes long.

ENDING 2

Following Harrison's death, all footage recorded from SCP-6000 was reviewed by personnel equipped with SCRAMBLE anti-cognitohazard systems. The output was a view of Harrison's surroundings, but with the every surface and individual blanketed by maggots, worms, and insects. Hunt is visible shaking and speaking to Harrison, but his flesh is rotting and maggots worm in and out of his skin. As he rewraps the gauze, a chunk of his flesh gives way and a mass of writhing maggots falls into Harrison's mouth, who begins convulsing and asphyxiating.
