**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-6534 is to be contained in a standard humanoid chamber in Site-56.

Instances of SCP-6534-1 are to be contained in Site-56's Anomalous Media Archive. Mobile Task Force Beta-14 ("Format Wars") is responsible for locating and seizing instances of SCP-6534-1 in civilian possession, and administering amnestics when necessary.

**Description:** SCP-6534 is a 24 year old human female with the given name "Carmen Brown". 

SCP-6534 possesses the ability to digitally manipulate the contents of Video Home System (VHS) cassettes through undetermined means. Cassettes modified through this matter are designated SCP-6534-1. The nature and duration of each modification made are determined by SCP-6534's personal choices.

------
**Addendum:** In July 2005, civilians in the southwestern United States began complaining of "tampered VHS tapes" that had been delivered through the United Parcel Service (UPS). Mobile Task Force Beta-14 was dispatched to investigate the phenomenon and confiscate tampered cassettes.

Notable instances of SCP-6534-1 have been archived below.

Through a lengthy inquiry, a UPS distribution warehouse in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA was identified as the origin of the SCP-6534-1 instances, and SCP-6534 was determined to be the culprit.

SCP-6534 was detained and transferred to Site-56 for containment. The following interview was performed to inquire it regarding its abilities.

[[div class="blockquote"]]

= **Transcript 6534-1**

**Interviewer:** Researcher Victoria Vomac

**Interviewed:** SCP-6534

**Date:** July 27, 2005

= **<Begin Log>**
------

//Researcher Vomac and SCP-6534 are seated opposite each other in the interrogation room. There is a television set and a VHS player located behind Vomac.//

**Vomac:** Could you state your name for the record, please?

**SCP-6534:** It's Carmen.

//Silence.//

**Vomac:** Carmen //what?//

**SCP-6534:** ...Oscella Brown?

**Vomac:** Ms. Brown, I've had you brought here so I could learn more about your videotape manipulation abilities. How does it work?

**SCP-6534:** Am I under arrest?

**Vomac:** Technically... no. How does your ability work? 

**SCP-6534:** I wanna talk to a lawyer. 

**Vomac:** You need to- look, you're not being accused of a crime, so you don't need an attorney.

**SCP-6534:** Then why did they cuff me at the-

**Vomac:** Ms. Brown, if you answer every single one of my questions truthfully, I will let you leave. But until then, you'll have to stay here. Do you understand?

//SCP-6534 takes a deep breath and nods its head "yes". Researcher Vomac takes a deep breath in return.//

**Vomac:** Okay, question one: Do you have an ability to manipulate the content of VHS tapes in any way?

//SCP-6534 nods its head "yes".//

**Vomac:** Question two: How does this ability work? Is there a spell you need to chant? Or a demonic pact?

**SCP-6534:** Uh... no? 

//Silence.//

**Vomac:** So what is the method that you use, exactly?

**SCP-6534:** I... really don't know how to explain it accurately...

**Vomac:** How are you unable to- you've done it dozens of times, we've found over fifty tampered tapes. At this point, you'd have a good grasp on the process, no? 

//SCP-6534 does not respond. Researcher Vomac lets out a sigh.//

**Vomac:** You know, I'm starting to suspect you don't have such an ability after all. That's why you're staying silent about your method, there //isn't// one.

//SCP-6534 does not respond. Researcher Vomac grabs a VHS cassette in a bag under the table and hands it to SCP-6534.//

**Vomac:** You can't do anything with this, can you?

**SCP-6534:** Wha- yes I can!

**Vomac:** Prove it. 

//SCP-6534 grips the cassette with its left hand and closes its eyes. It begins to smile and giggle to itself.//

//Twenty seconds pass. SCP-6534 opens its eyes and hands the cassette back to Researcher Vomac.//

**SCP-6534:** Done. Why don't you watch it right now?

//Researcher Vomac turns towards the TV and VHS player behind her.//

**Vomac:** One step ahead of you.

//The cassette is inserted into the player; playback begins.//

//A calm lake is visible on-screen.//

**Vomac:** What did you add, exactly?

**SCP-6534:** //<giggles>// Oh, just a... little yellow duck.

//Researcher Vomac observes the screen.//

**Vomac:** Lies. There's no duck.

**SCP-6534:** I made her a little small... //<giggles>// you'll just have to look closer.

//Researcher Vomac leans in closer at the picture.//

**Vomac:** Why would you even make it so small if you're trying to prove that-

//A loud shriek is heard as a black-and-white image of a deformed face appears on the screen.//

**Vomac:** Oh, mother //fucking// God!

//SCP-6534 begins to laugh harder. Researcher Vomac coughs and gags, regains her composure and turns back to look at the former.//

**Vomac:** You- you little brat!

//SCP-6534 points at the screen.//

**SCP-6534:** I told you, there's a duck.

**Vomac:** I'm not falling for that again!

**SCP-6534:** //<calming down>// I'm legit this time, there's a duck. I added it, as I promised.

//Reseacher Vomac groans and looks back at the screen in an apprehensive manner. The screaming noise has died down.//

**Vomac:** Hey wait a minute, there //is// a du-

//A loud distorted quack is heard as a shadowy image of a duck appears on-screen.//

**Vomac:** Aw, motherfucker!

//SCP-6534 begins to laugh uncontrollably.//
