 Item number SCP-1508 Object Class Neutralized Special Containment Procedures SCP-1508 is to be held within a containment chamber, located in Site-77. It is to be restrained within the chamber and observed on a constant basis. In the event that SCP-1508 assists with the maintenance of the containment chamber or attempts to interfere with maintenance personnel, it is to be moved temporarily to another room. Description SCP-1508 is a humanoid entity composed of cardboard, paper, and plastic. SCP-1508 is fully autonomous and moves with a humanoid gate. The words Dr. Wondertainment 2003 have been printed on the back of SCP-1508's body in black ink. During initial containment, documentation believed to correspond with SCP-1508 was found.

If you're Mikey the Chore Buddy begins to act out, refuse to work, writing funny things, or just playing gets a bad attitude, send him back to us for refurbishment. This pays shipping and handling. When unrestrained, SCP-1508 will attempt to assist the nearest human subject with any chores or menial activities being performed. SCP-1508 appears to prefer working with younger subjects, although it does not work with them exclusively. Due to the composition of its body and the limited range of movements that it can perform, SCP-1508 may spend up to three days attempting to perform the same task. Although SCP-1508 does not appear to require any form of nourishment, analysis of its movements during this period indicate that it can still experience symptoms of exhaustion, dehydration, and movements consistent with human subjects who have broken limbs or pulled muscles. If the subject is performing a menial non-physical activity such as homework, SCP-1508 may sit with them, drawing, or writing with crayon. Art and writings produced by SCP-1508 are usually crude and simplistic. Upon writing, SCP-1508 may suddenly seize and be unable to move, lasting for a period of three days. Analysis has shown that directly before these incidents, SCP-1508's writing had become dramatically more clear and drawings more recognizable, although no significant communications had been recorded. Examples of writing created by SCP-1508 I just wa- I'm very t- curling around it, doctors stop. When assisting with physical tasks, SCP-1508 has been shown to alter the composition and size of its body. For example, when tested a moa portion of Site-77's grounds, SCP-1508 extended its legs by two meters and manifested rubberized grips on its hands to grasp a lawnmower. When tasked with washing a set of dishes, it grew a plastic sheet over its hands to waterproof itself. During testing the repair of ventilation system, SCP-1508 extended its arms for over 20 meters to locate and solve the issue. When adjusting its body, SCP-1508's movements become much more stiff and clumsy. During all these tasks, SCP-1508's simple facial expression altered to one of extreme stress, fear, or anxiety. Once SCP-1508 has been assigned a task, it appears to be unable to cease performing it until given a new order or until three days have passed, at which point it returns to its default state. SCP-1508 was discovered on September 18, 2003, from a suburban home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. A child had obtained SCP-1508 through unknown means, and the parents had contacted the authorities. Human personnel intercepted SCP-1508 and suppressed reports of its effects. The child was unable to explain where he had obtained SCP-1508, and was administered a Class C amnestic with the other witnesses. As of November 23, 2005, SCP-1508 has been classified as safe. Addendum, Incident 1508-A On February 17, 2006, SCP-1508 was noted to begin imitating maintenance personnel who had entered its containment chamber. Over the course of two hours, it swept the floors, washed the walls, then polished the security door interior. Security personnel restrained SCP-1508, and containment procedures have been modified to reflect its development. Addendum, Incident 1508-B On May 25, 2006, personnel noted that SCP-1508 had not moved in over 128 hours. When a researcher was dispatched to investigate, she found several notations written in crayon around SCP-1508, with the object itself being non-responsive. After testing confirmed the cessation of anomalous properties, SCP-1508 was reclassified as neutralized on July 18, 2006. Notations found in SCP-1508 Thank you. Showed me I don't need to be a slave to the doctor. I don't have to do their work anymore. I am free as I will ever be, so long for now.
