 Item No. SCP-958 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-958-A instances are to be contained in Storage Unit 11 at Site ██ in an inactive state. SCP-958-B instances are to be contained in Storage Unit 13 at Site ██ if neutralization is not feasible. Description SCP-958-A is a humanoid toy robot composed primarily of plastic and tin. SCP-958-A is 19 cm tall and has a mass of 214.8 g. The words General Beat by Dr. Wondertainment are inscribed upon the bottom of SCP-958-A's right foot. When activated via a switch on the back of its head, SCP-958-A becomes capable of speech and limited autonomous movement. It will use these to actively seek out a child under the age of 13. While it will respond to those of or over the age of 13, it will often attempt to redirect conversation towards aiding it in finding a child. When exposed to a child under the age of 13, SCP-958-A will frequently discuss historical military accomplishments and will often suggest exposing other children to it or other instances of SCP-958-A. These conversations exhibit no compulsive effects, and the child is able to deactivate SCP-958-A via its switch without any resistance. Should the child express interest in what SCP-958-A discusses and or plays with an active SCP-958-A for a cumulative 6 hours, SCP-958-A will give the child information on how to build an instance of SCP-958-B. This information cannot be used by anyone other than the child in question. Attempts by other individuals to utilize it will result in a non-nomous creation, with similar results when a previously exposed child turns 13. Further mental effects caused by SCP-958-A are currently being studied. However, it is highly likely that SCP-958-A somehow affects how children interpret SCP-958-B and scenarios involving them. Furthermore, unconfirmed testimonies claim SCP-958-A will suggest uses for SCP-958-B in games and activities. For further information, see Addendum A. SCP-958-B are objects created using the knowledge imparted by SCP-958-A. SCP-958-B instances vary greatly in appearance and function, but all recorded instances have been weapons of some form created from a wide variety of miscellaneous objects. Ammunition and payloads used by SCP-958-B are unconventional and or anomalous. Notable examples include bursts of non-nomalous paint, toys and plush dolls ejected at high speeds, and beams of focused light capable of melting steel. Addendum A. SCP-958 was originally detected in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on April 12, 1986. 13 children accompanied by 11 instances of SCP-958-A and 15 instances of SCP-958-B were seen walk into an abandoned industrial complex on the southern edge of the city. The children entered one of the buildings after destroying its entrance with several SCP-958-B. One forces moved into the building in an effort to contain SCP-958-B without harming the children. Beyond the door that would have otherwise contained the facility's furnace was an extra-dimensional space that was similar to the rest of the building, albeit heavily degraded and rusted. Within the extra-dimensional space the MTF encountered dozens of non-nomalous individuals, with most suffering from injuries likely caused by industrial accidents, within a room filled with dilapidated industrial equipment. Objects produced therein all had the factory emblazoned on them. Most of the children were using the SCP-958-B instances to attack the equipment and a single anomalous entity with multiple limbs, while two were using non-lethal SCP-958-B to incapacitate those who tried to interfere, including the MTF. As the MTF prioritized evacuating the workers, the children were able to terminate the anomalous entity and reduce it to ash prior to the foundation being able to disable them. Upon the death of the entity, all power within the facility was lost. The children then allowed themselves to be captured and their SCP-958 deactivated and confiscated. Deep briefing of the children revealed no major cognitive changes and none exhibited signs of acting under anomalous compulsion. They all claimed to have been playing a game, the roles and location of which were suggested by their SCP-958-A. Each were given amnestics and returned to their caretakers with suitable cover stories without issue. As of 2014, none of the children or their families have been detected to be part of any anomalous phenomena. While four other instances of SCP-958-A have been recovered since, no other assaults and locations held by the factory have been detected to date. Interview SCP-958-A-1 Began Log Agent Hulago Hello SCP-958-A? SCP-958-A? That's General Beep to you, Lieutenant. Ah, sorry. Hello, General Beep. I want to ask you some questions. Permission to speak freely? At ease. Ask away. Where do you come from? General Beep is the intellectual property of Dr. Wondertainment. Of course you are. Well, can you tell me about the child you were with? Ellen was a good little soldier, very creative thinker. I miss her. She was good at listening. What kind of things would you tell her? Of the many human militaristic accomplishments throughout history, such as the people it is freed and the technological advances it has funded. What about telling her how to create SCP-958-B, the weapons? We confiscated what Ellen described as a laser rifle, which I personally watched melt a conveyor belt. We are fairly sure one of the kids were pushing an IED around a little red wagon. There seems to be a misunderstanding, Lieutenant. Those are toys, like myself, the children using the play games. So storming that place was a game? A very fun game. What if the children hurt themselves with these toys? And that place was really dangerous. Dr. Wondertainment is not liable for any personal or property damage or loss which may result from the operation of General Beep. However, I did make sure Ellen had her Dr. Wondertainment's young surges transplant kit with her. How considerate. The one thing I don't get, why not just send an army of little robots, or big robots? If Dr. Wondertainment can mass produce things with that much power, why doesn't he outside help? Why involve kids at all? Because Dr. Wondertainment is a toy maker.
