▞ INCIDENT REPORT

SCP-D38813 was retrieved at the scene of a failed eviction in Burbank, California. The landlord had called local police to evict an unresponsive tenant, one Georgio Eliopoulos. Police found him catatonic and non-responsive. When EMTs attempted to move him out of the house, a small yellow device nearby emitted a piercing sound. At approximately 20m of separation, the device began emitting the sound at a painful level, while at 30m the sound caused officers to black out. Field agents embedded with local services intercepted discussion about the incident and were subsequently able to secure Mr. Eliopoulos and his device, as well as scrub all known interactions.

The device, SCP-D38813-A, appears to be a Playdate gaming system, which is a small bright yellow handheld device, 76mm x 74mm x 9mm, with directional inputs, A and B buttons, a crank protruding from its side, and a black and white reflective screen. The unit only offers one game, titled “Parallels of the Principal Action of Decoherence with Memetic Retrieval” which according to documents found at the scene is also the title of Mr. Eliopoulos' doctoral thesis. The game presents a series of encrypted documents and invites the player to decode them. Agent Carry had begun decyphering one, before Agent Bennet confiscated the device, pointing out that they wouldn't normally interact with an anomaly in that way, indicating that there may be some coersion in effect. Agent Carry reacted in a “surly way” as per post interview attestation, but did not appear to suffer any lasting effects.

Mr. Eliopoulos, SCP-D38813-B, human male aged 32, 182cm tall, 90.2kg, does not exhibit any signs of life other than periodic bouts of rapid eye movement. He has not moved, or consumed any material so far, and does not emit any substances either. He is by all accounts odorless. Field agents discovered him in an unconscious pile along with the police officers who were trying to carry him out. The body remains entirely pliable, handling like a sleeping person.
