**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-5578 is to be contained within its designated ‘light containment’ cell at --Site-67-- Site-48, Variant Wing B. It's chamber requires sound dampening paraphernalia and a sound system capable of playing vinyl discs and a catalogue of cassette tapes.[[footnote]]There is substantial evidence that points to SCP-5578's consciousness existing on multiple wavelength frequencies. Our current metric understands that this experience is similar in stimulation to a massage chair. [[/footnote]] During standard hours of operation, SCP-5578 must be routinely inspected and provided with maintenance as necessary to preserve its function. Additional paper, lubricant, replacement parts; qualified repair personnel are to be kept onsite at all times in the event of a jam, mechanical failure, or other obstruction to its operation.

**Description:** SCP-5578 is a Teletype Model 33 ASR (Automatic Send and Receive) electromechanical teleprinter. The machine has the ability to print messages dictated from a consciousness manifesting within the device. The anomaly does not require electrical power or a corresponding sending device in order to operate and will do so unimpeded as long as its other mechanical needs are met. Testing on the output of 5578 shows the paper and ink in its correct state with no anomalous qualities. It follows a ‘sleep cycle’ that begins at nightfall and ends at the next sunrise. This cycle persists independently of SCP-5578's exposure to timekeeping devices or sunlight.

The transcripts produced by SCP-5578 during its time at Site-67 were rambling and loosely formatted, seeming to be derived from domestic conversation interspersed with lines from music, literature, and popular media.

An example of SCP-5578's pre-discovery output can be found below:

[[collapsible show="+ Addendum #1" hide="- Addendum #1"]]
**04/22/1992-** Site-67 researcher Dr. Kelgood began a series of tests following an adverse reaction from SCP-5578 on 03/05/1992. A Site-67 security guard had been monitoring objects considered to be under investigation for previous anomalous behaviors. At the time, said security attempted to listen to a compact disk through the surveillance equipment terminal. The officer had intended to route the album “Dr. Feelgood” to a tabletop speaker via a 3.5mm audio cable, but accidentally played the music through the containment chamber's internal speakers instead. The reaction listed below was observed in the following moments. The music was active for approximately two minutes before they corrected their error. 

When researchers recreated these conditions, SCP-5578 produced 168 characters per minute, significantly exceeding its typical output limitation of ~100 characters per minute. A sustained outburst of exclamation points filled nearly ten feet of paper, and, moments later, SCP-5578 ceased to function entirely. Once the music was removed, standard function resumed and SCP-5578 started to communicate again.

**Kelgood:** I can try and find out some things about your situation for you, if you like. But I can't give you information I don't have, Vincent. I'm sorry.

//<Minutes pass>//

**Kelgood:** Vincent? Do you think that, if I gave you more paper and more attention, you could improve your ability to communicate?

**Kelgood:** Give me a one-word response, please.

**Kelgood:** Wonderful.

Dr. Kel, I did some digging on a Vincent Fox? As it turns out, if this is the same one I picked up, then he died on March ██, 19██. Having the background on him leads me to believe that he's in this situation by absolute accident. He was a radio show host for ███.█ AM; based in Savannah, Georgia. What do you think, Doc?

There's nothing we can do. If we put up a fight, all we may do is get reassigned, or worse, placed on official duty. Reintegration's as easy as it gets; don't waste a chance to relax for awhile. I think we should let Vince take the brunt of this.

You're sweet, Kel, but his situation may never get better. Might just need to let him be an SCP, not a friend. I am willing to let that happen.

I, Site-67 Director George Lent, submit the following to the Ethics Committee.
@@ @@
I propose that we relocate SCP-5578 to somewhere outside of the research wing of Site-67. The anomaly is utilizing a human or near-human consciousness to write and communicate. It is behaving predictably, and refuses to cooperate during our discussions. I believe, based on its testimony, that SCP-5578 is an autonomous being, and that it is in great distress. This is not conducive to our understanding of SCP-5578, but it is also a dilemma I am conflicted about solving. The consciousness of SCP-5578 does not need further probing; I believe it needs relief, even if it's relief from us.

[[collapsible show="+ Incident Report #1" hide="- Incident Report #1"]]

**Item Deemed Lost - 02/14/1992:** During transport by MTF Alpha-4 "Pony Express", SCP-5578 was neglected by some members of the task force. MTF Alpha-4 failed to account for SCP-5578 during their departure from its original site, leaving its shielded transport container in Storage Facility Precontainment Room 3B. The object was reported lost in transit on 02/14/1992.

**Addendum - 4/28/2017:** SCP-5578 has been recovered. MTF Alpha-4 rediscovered the package after a 'deep clean' of former Storage Facility-48; SCP-5578 had apparently been sent there in error during an audit of Site-67 assets conducted in 1993. SCP-5578 will be processed and provided with new containment at Variant Site-48, Wing B.

**Researcher's note- 5/01/2017:** SCP-5578 is to undergo an extensive psychological evaluation. SCP-5578 has been informed that continued non-compliance will result in a rejection of pending Reintegration Protocol. Subject is to be informed that space in Room 3B is available even if this is false.
- Researcher Roger Billings

[[collapsible show="+ Addendum #3" hide="-Addendum #3"]]
**Addendum - 9/20/2017:** SCP-5578 has abstained from gross insults, irrational statements and irregular behavior for the past two months. The anomaly should be given more full capacity within Site-48 in any way that Director Ionas sees fit. This can include but is not limited to:
* Participating in staff orientation,
* Printing Site bulletins,
* Being placed in or near the entrance on the facility in order to greet staff
Any additional measures taken may be added to the object's file and will greatly improve plausibility for being granted reintegration.
- Dr. Derek Boyde, Paratherapy Researcher at Site-48

**Researcher’s Log - 1/19/2018:** SCP-5578 has been granted by the Ethics Committee the ability to visit and converse with Clearance Level: 2 individuals. Director Ionas has declined SCP-5578's request to distribute works of literature throughout the site. Visiting staff and Site personnel may refer to SCP-5578 as ‘Vince’ or ‘Vincent’, thereby making conversation easier between both parties. No further actions are necessary at this time.
- Dr. Derek Boyde

**Note - 4/16/2018:** SCP-5578 has been granted the following requested paraphernalia:
* One (1) turn-table (specifically a cabinet model) and accompanying records, either donated by staff or kept on-site,
* One (1) sound system to be paired with the turn-table,
* One (1) Davenport sofa (for visiting staff)

The requested coffee table was deemed optional. Each of these amenities will help accommodate SCP-5578 and its visitors.

Testing of 5578's social abilities is deemed to be a **HIGH** priority. When a suitable cross-test subject has been located please inform me or one of my staff. - Dr. Roger Billings

There happens to be a SCP under my care that needs every cross-test they can receive. I'll tag the file of [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/to-the-office-of-thandiwe-tau  SCP-3288-18762]. These two have shared interests of being reintegrated, I think they could each help each other out with ten minutes in 'Chamber 2'. - Dr. Thandiwe Tau

This one is antisocial, never talked to anyone but his head researcher at the last site. Though that was all down to the fact I would assume the Doc felt Vince had something in common with his old man. I have met Kelgood a few times, though I know he had a really crappy childhood. Vince needs a little extra motivation since his extended absence. - Dr. Roger Billings
@@ @@
**01:57:47 p.m.**
Then it's settled, give Krzysztof the file on Vince. It only needs to be an interview, that way they don't waste time or one of them goes off the rails. They will have mutual sympathy for each other, you know that right, Roger? - Dr. Thandiwe Tau
