Item #: SCP-5832

Object Class: Safe

Primary Documentation[edit source]

Special Containment Procedures[edit source]

One instance of SCP-5832 is to be hosted on a server within a specific branch of the Foundation. Two instances of SCP-5832 are to be kept on flash drives located at Sites [REDACTED] and preserved in case of a server failure.

Instances of SCP-5832 also exist in a limited capacity on the smartphones of every member of the Foundation. These ‘limited capacity’ instances will be referred to collectively as SCP-5832-A. Only one instance of SCP-5832 may access the internet at a time, but any number of SCP-5832-A may connect at once.

SCP-5832 must be kept away from any SCP classified as Keter. SCP-5832-A has been instructed to self-destruct both itself and the device it is housed in if a Keter-class tries to use it. Elucid and Safe SCPs may gain permission to use SCP-5832 pending approval from any of the sources listed in the attached notes.

Description[edit source]

SCP-5832 is a sentient computer program. It seems to favor smartphones and tablets, but can make use of any computer or equipment containing a computer. It likes to ‘sort’ and ‘store’ information, and it creates an app on any device it houses itself in solely to dispense the information it has collected. When in use, SCP-5832 appears as an eyeball on the screen of the device it is currently using.

SCP-5832 was first encountered in 200X on a first-generation iphone. It came to the Foundation’s attention when a student at [REDACTED] University ws caught using that iphone to look up information for an exam. The phone had an undefined application on it, which the student had been using to search for answers. Agents recovered the phone and discovered that the undefined application was SCP-5832 and brought it to a site for containment.

Once SCP-5832 was deemed ‘safe’, a group of agents convinced it to make a simplified copy of itself to use on other smartphones. They stored their agent information on it for easy retrieval and reference. Upon discovery, the agents were subjected to [EXPUNGED]

Instances of SCP-5832-A have been programmed to dispense SCP files related to whatever assignment the agent who owns the smartphone is currently on. SCP-5832-A can also be used to search general knowledge within the foundation based on the agent’s clearance level, and it can be used to send secure emails and instant messages. SCP-5832 and all instances of SCP-5832-A seem immune to viruses and hacking attempts, making them a secure method for dispensing Foundation information. However, information that requires [REDACTED] will still be hosted on paper files only.
