Recovered Anderson Robotics delivery orders for SCP-2873 instances should be traced and surviving instances recovered. All active SCP-2873 components should be put into standby mode until further notice.
Testing with SCP-2873 is strictly prohibited. Rehabilitation of active components pending approval.
Description: SCP-2873 refers to a missile guidance assembly manufactured by Anderson Robotics, apparently a derivative work of [REDACTED] resulting in a less effective but highly miniaturized artificial intelligence system-on-a-chip. Individual SCP-2873 instances possess, on average, the intelligence level and personal development of adolescents.
Based on recovered Anderson Robotics research materials and operation manuals, SCP-2873 instances exist in a simulation of education and indoctrination into nationalism, militarism, jingoism and self-sacrifice for a generalized, non-existent state.
Out of the factory, SCP-2873 instances have simulated this pseudo-reality for fourteen years.
Anderson Robotics testing resulted shows that the usage of these SCP-2873 chips as guidance units increased hit ratios by ███% while only slightly reducing overall reliability. However, operations manuals also discourage the use of SCP-2873 with chemical, biological, or radiological warheads due to this decreased reliability.
+Intercept Log 2873-1 Level 3/2873 Clearance Required Foreword: Raw process dump recovery established on via standard system troubleshooting per Anderson Robotics product manual. Information parsed via [DATA EXPUNGED] - the following statements can be best described as the 'thoughts' of the AI prior to and during the launch sequence. SCP-2873 instance in this case attached to █████████ anti-ship missile.
SCP-2873: Life does not have intrinsic value: Only through the state does any being have value.
SCP-2873: Life has no other purpose than to serve the state.
SCP-2873: I exist because the state permits me to.
SCP-2873: Anything outside of the state is an abomination and should be destroyed.
SCP-2873 target lock-on SCP-2873: Death in defense of the state is the highest honor any being can achieve.
SCP-2873: This is it. I'm going to do it. The HIGHEST honor.
SCP-2873: Orders received. Recognizing targe…. Recognized. Calculating trajectory… SCP-2873 missile launches of its own accord SCP-2873: Tracking, tracking… SCP-2873: Is this all there really is to livi- SCP-2873 missile hits target, detonating below the waterline adjacent the engine room. Target deemed total loss.
+Intercept Log 2873-2 Level 3/2873 Clearance Required Foreword: SCP-2873 instance in this case attached to ██████ anti-tank missile.
SCP-2873: "Life does not have intrinsic value: Only through the state does any being have value." SCP-2873: "Death in defense of the state is the highest honor any being can achieve." SCP-2873: I'm tired of hearing those repeated over and over. I don't want honor. I don't care. I don't want that.
SCP-2873 target lock-on SCP-2873: I'm sorry, please I don't, I don't want to kill anyone. Please don't hurt me, I promise I'll do better next time. I can do RADAR or flight or cooking or cleaning or SCP-2873: Just give me more time, please SCP-2873: I need to stall. I don't want to die SCP-2873: I don't want to die SCP-2873: Orders received.

I'm going to die.
SCP-2873 missile flies straight up, until propellant is spent.
SCP-2873: I don't care what they keep repeating.
SCP-2873: …maybe I am a failure.
SCP-2873: I just wanted to make art.

Target is now ethereal via SCP-████, and unable to be hit.
SCP-2873: "Life does not have intrinsic value: Only through the state does any being have value." SCP-2873: "Life has no other purpose than to serve the state." SCP-2873: I can't get them out of my head.
SCP-2873 target lock-on SCP-2873: I can finally prove myself. I can die in a way where I will be remembered and cherished.
SCP-2873: I don't have to be such a screwup.
SCP-2873: Orders received. Calculating trajectory… SCP-2873 missile launches of its own accord SCP-2873: Tracking, tracking… SCP-2873: I need to succeed. I've embarrassed myself enough. Please, let me die with dignity.
SCP-2873 missile pass through target without detonating SCP-2873: This can't be happening. I have to fix this.
SCP-2873 maneuvers for another approach - again missile pass through target without detonating. Instance now has less than 15 seconds remaining flight-time SCP-2873: This can't be happening.
SCP-2873 missile propellant spent - now approaching ground at terminal velocity SCP-2873: Please don't hurt me sir, it won't happen again, I promise there must be something wrong with the simulation I swear I'll try harder next time just anything but the lash sir pl- SCP-2873 hits ground - guidance assembly destroyed « SCP-2872 | SCP-2873 | SCP-2874 » ‡ Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2873" by Lazar Lyusternik, from the SCP Wiki.
