SCP-427 Lovecraftian Locket

Dr Bob brings you SCP Foundation Safe* Class object, SCP-427 Lovecraftian Locket Animation.
Join the DR BOB SQUAD by going to / drbob and become an Honorary Member of the Dr. Bob Research Staff!
SCP-427 is a small, spherical, ornately carved locket made of a polished silver material. The ornate carvings do not seem to serve any function;
SCP 427 was created after placing a pill of SCP 500 in the Input booth of SCP 914 and using the Fine setting. It displays no unusual activity when closed. When opened, a small glowing orb is visible at the center.
When SCP427 is opened and exposed to biological tissue, it rapidly regenerates cellular damage and somehow is able to purge invading compounds or infections.
However, long-term exposure produces a significant health hazard. As the locket heals damage, it optimizes the body's natural systems.
The "Flesh Beasts" (so named due to their appearance) created by SCP-427 are incredibly aggressive, attacking any and all personnel on sight with lethal results.

[@martinmarvinii3139]

The Locket is still a fantastic way to heal people, all it takes to prevent any horrific mutations is establishing a strict time limit on exposure.

[@joshwright4799]

@martinmarvinii3139 what if bowser & bowser jr discovered scp-427?

[@rattus7881]

Sorry even though the scp foundation is supposed to made of the smartest people we are too stupid to know this lol

[@sandrakiefler4649]

@martinmarvinii3139 IKR!?🤨 I’m just over here thinking like…wtf are these dudes doing!? I mean like why aren’t they using it to cure people? 🤷‍♀️I get that they can’t use it on the public but why not these loyal scp employees? Cause these people are freaking getting maimed and dying during the shit ton of containment breaches and shit!😅 they can’t hook a brother up ffs!? Just saying that it seems a damn waste is all. Considering the cut-off times are very clear you know!? 😉👍

[@maxwellkukowski8818]

Sadly no, similar to radiation exposure, SCP-427 exposure is cumulative regardless of the exposure time. Thus if an individual is exposed for a total of 1 hour even in short increments, the change will still occur.

[@McNoob5477]

Maybe the reason they can’t establish a time limit is because depending on how severe the person is wounded or sick. It could take more exposure to heal that person. And the more they are exposed the more they inch toward the flesh monsters. Maybe that’s why.

[@Gears_Starting]

This SCP reminds me of SCP-407 - The Song of Genisis. It is a song that can cure almost anything when listened to for up to two minutes. However, if someone listens to the song for longer than that, the person will start to experience rapid cell growth and will eventually no longer be human if the song is not turned off.

[@lunerlilly]

Wow!

[@joshwright4799]

@Gears_Starting what if mr burns buys scp-427?

[@supersmily5811]

If I recall correctly, that SCP was terminated by rogue agents, so it can't help.

[@theperfectbotsteve4916]

I like the idea that you die after listening to long because your cells have become their own organism like how cancer works but with all the cells in your body instead of just a few and that the super cancer is able to evolve into new stuff super fast though anomalous means

[@NoHandel141]

427 is a little similar to scp 610 too

[@yagamijubei28]

love the little details on this one, like theres SCP5056, the constant companions. this happened before the janitor and his wife met, the same smiling woman that passed the researcher and the janitor himself, who was wearing the headphones, looking depressed.

The foundation should conduct at least 1 more experiment with another single SCP-500 pill to be used on the ‘very fine’ setting to see what results may bring.

[@rmbszzz]

This was the exact thing I thought about after the video

[@ajohnymous5699]

I thought they did something like that with a human and it ended horribly. I can't remember if it was redacted info or the human turned into a horrifying killing machine, but with stuff like that in mind it might create something like the plague doctor because "life is a disease, I must cure it." It would be interesting but the potential for horror is very present too.

[@Duck_Norris]

If one of the SCP-500 pills is put into SCP-914 on the "Very Fine" setting, it will create a lethal "Upgraded pill" that if consumed causes blurred vision, brownish drippings and swelling of the muscle tissue and after a while you will mutate similar like SCP-427.

[@zefftrus9825]

I wonder if they put the empty pill container in the upgrade SCP 914 if it would make an infinite source of the pills the real question is whether to leave one pill in it or not another problem is determining what setting to put them on since you only get one chance

[@rmbszzz]

@@zefftrus9825 The container itself probably wouldn't turn into anything useful? Pretty sure only the pills are anomalous, but correct me if I'm wrong? It would probably just create an improved plastic container?? Not sure...

[@ashleighstratmann7783]

It should be noted that the lovecraftian locket is what return Dr. Cleft to normal after the Witch Child accidentally turned him into a dragon and Dr. Cleft went into a rampage as a dragon. So just how much it can heal and strengthen in a short amount of time before the victim mutates is still a mystery if you ask me.

[@GalaxyNekoreko]

Yo can you send me the link to the source, if you still have it?

[@lieinreese3241]

I appreciate Dr Bob for bringing more interesting contents..

[@ashleighstratmann7783]

Dr. Gears along with Bright Cleft and Kondraki are also known as the four horsemen of the Foundation. Mainly because of one of the rules Dr. Bright is not allowed to do in the foundation which is to say 'SCP doesn't stand for: F-u-c-k Death Pestilence Famine and War, We got Bright, Cleft, Gears, and Kondraki' (I may of mix up the order of the names but you get the point). Dr. Gears normally the calmest and well behave of the four, but as this video shows, it's when Dr. Gears shows emotions and/or interest when everyone should be most cautious.

[@KlngAsh]

The fact he called the researcher a "Thief" the entire video makes it funny

[@Rip_Silksong]

[@subjectdelta3908]

Been watching videos with Dr. Bob for a couple of years now and I still enjoy watching them and learning about all of the anomalies in the SCP Foundation archives. Always so interesting. I know he has also done some stories that cross scps and or backstories to some scps, but I always wondered what would happen if SCP 3899 "The Night Hauler" drove through the hunting grounds of SCP 973 "The Smokey" and triggered him to appear. Maybe that has happened before. Seems like it would be a stalemate, but you never really know when it comes to anomalies. As always, a wonderful video. Thanks for all the great content.

Another masterpiece by dr bob

[@WoziduranJahemter]

Too much energy cumulated from strange origins makes a big increase in agression, that's why it's optimal for more typical ways that are genuine and simple are to be used to focus that energy into something productive that is to be allowed and also verified as well for proper contribution and expression else those effects create primal fleety and vile responses. That's why the lil greens are so sensitive and overly charged with energy, they lack proper adjustment grounding and disciplinative direction with proper handling in order toavoid from going nasty wild.

Also, how about they try testing the mutating affects on someone that's loyal to the foundation, and not, you know, the living fodder that have many reasons to not be fond of them (and even desire to escape, since D-Class is usually made up of prisoners on death row)?

[@marcearlsantos9027]

But they do care, but they need to make sure its 100% safe. What, they expose the locket to the world, which they only have 1 in current existence. How can they inform the world they have a cure all in form of a locket exposure? How would the worlds government react especially the GOC if they knew about it? Stop and think before assuming SCP don't care.

[@Bluesit32]

What are you talking about? The locket is extremely dangerous. Imagine if such a thing existed. Who gets to use it? It only works on one person at a time and there's only one locket. If they put another pill into the clockworks, there's no telling what will come of it. So, who gets to use it? Probably whomever can afford it. There's no insurance program in existence that would cover it. So, only the rich would be healed and improved.

This shows a bright future for the clockwork and other scps that are in a huge quantity and they could use that locket to heal cancer and such but we know its the SCP foundation they'll just use it on minor inconveniences. Why not use it on the Lizard? see what happens? I'd be curious to test the locket on all aggressive SCPS and see what the "healing" would do

SCP-427 Object Class: Safe* (see containment procedures) Special Containment Procedures: SCP-427 displays no means of self-locomotion or malicious intent at this time, and requires only minimal containment. Due to SCP-427's adverse effects, only medical staff of Class 3 or above may handle or utilize it. All personnel using SCP-427 must record their total time using it in order to avoid unwanted mutations. *Instances of SCP-427-1 (colloquially referred to as "Flesh Beasts") created by SCP-427 must be killed immediately as it is impossible to communicate with or experiment on them safely. For this reason instances of SCP-427-1 are classified as Keter. Description: SCP-427 is a small, spherical, ornately carved locket made of a polished silver material. The ornate carvings do not seem to serve any function; it is unknown whether SCP-427's outer casing was crafted by sentients or not. Its circumference at its widest point is roughly 3 cm. SCP-427 was created after placing a pill of SCP-500 in the Input booth of SCP-914 and using the Fine setting. It displays no unusual activity when closed. When opened, a small glowing orb is visible at the center. The orb emits no radiation or energy aside from the visible spectrum. When SCP-427 is opened and exposed to biological tissue, it rapidly regenerates cellular damage and somehow is able to purge invading compounds or infections. As a standard of measure, the common cold takes 3 to 10 days to be worked through the human immune system and eventually removed. In the presence of an opened SCP-427, this time is reduced to 2 to 4 minutes. Its healing abilities are directional, so anything not in line of sight with the central orb experiences no effects. However, long-term exposure produces a significant health hazard. As the locket heals damage, it optimizes the body's natural systems. Resistance to disease and toxins is increased by 500% compared to accepted LD50 or death-rate values after a total of 10 minutes of exposure, and 1000% after 15. After 15 minutes of exposure, muscular systems begin optimizing, increasing strength and pain tolerance by 200-300%. All other systems continue to optimize. Class-D personnel exposed to the device for over an hour total began mutating into a shapeless mass of tissue. The conversion time accelerates with continued exposure to SCP-427. The "Flesh Beasts" (so named due to their appearance) created by SCP-427 are incredibly aggressive, attacking any and all personnel on sight with lethal results. They are highly resistant to most known weaponry, but can be disabled with sufficient shock trauma or heat in excess of 1100 degrees Celsius (2000 degrees Fahrenheit). Intelligence cannot be accurately gauged, but mapping of biological enhancement of the brain as a direct relationship with optimization of other systems suggests intelligence could exceed levels measured in humans when fully transformed. SCP-427 is currently being used as a partial replacement for SCP-500 pills, as it can cure almost anything SCP-500 is able to. All "optimizations" imparted by SCP-427 are cumulative. Oversight has deemed the side effects an "acceptable risk" but users must carefully record their total exposure time as sufficient mutations are grounds for termination.
