{$doesthisfixthebug} rating: +21+–x Item #: SCP-6534 Level 2/6534 Object Class: Euclid Classified Assigned Site Site Director Research Head Assigned Task Force Site-56 Dir. Peter Palermo Rs. Victoria Vomac B-14 "Format Wars" An instance of SCP-6534-1.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-6534 is to be contained in a standard humanoid chamber in Site-56.
Instances of SCP-6534-1 are to be contained in Site-56's Anomalous Media Archive.
Mobile Task Force Beta-14 ("Format Wars") is responsible for locating and seizing instances of SCP-6534-1 in civilian possession, and administering amnestics when necessary.
Description: SCP-6534 is a 24 year old human female with the given name "Carmen Brown".
SCP-6534 possesses the ability to digitally manipulate the contents of Video Home System (VHS) cassettes through undetermined means. Cassettes modified through this matter are designated SCP-6534-1. The nature and duration of each modification made are determined by SCP-6534's personal choices.
Addendum: In July 2005, civilians in the southwestern United States began complaining of "tampered VHS tapes" that had been delivered through the United Parcel Service (UPS). Mobile Task Force Beta-14 was dispatched to investigate the phenomenon and confiscate tampered cassettes.
Notable instances of SCP-6534-1 have been archived below.
Designation: SCP-6534-1-1 Title: The Bridesmaid Dress II: Back For More Notes: The love interest, played by actor Arnold Capistrello, was replaced with a 1979 Chevrolet Caprice taxicab for the duration of the film.
Designation: SCP-6534-1-8 Title: Barney and Friends: The Complete Third Season Notes: The main character, a purple cartoon dinosaur named "Barney", was replaced with a scientifically accurate Tyrannosaurus rex for all episodes.
Designation: SCP-6534-1-25 Title: Daniel and the Quest for the Crown of Avidan Notes: Following the film's ending, an extra post-credit scene was added where the villain of the film is cooked to death in a malfunctioning tanning bed.
Designation: SCP-6534-1-48 Title: Dial It Back Notes: All mentions of Federal Express (FedEx) within the film are replaced with quacking noises.
Through a lengthy inquiry, a UPS distribution warehouse in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA was identified as the origin of the SCP-6534-1 instances, and SCP-6534 was determined to be the culprit.
SCP-6534 was detained and transferred to Site-56 for containment. The following interview was performed to inquire it regarding its abilities.
Transcript 6534-1 Interviewer: Researcher Victoria Vomac Interviewed: SCP-6534 Date: July 27, 2005 <Begin Log> Researcher Vomac and SCP-6534 are seated opposite each other in the interrogation room. There is a television set and a VHS player located behind Vomac.
Vomac: Could you state your name for the record, please?
SCP-6534: It's Carmen.
Silence.
Vomac: Carmen what?
SCP-6534: …Oscella Brown?
Vomac: Ms. Brown, I've had you brought here so I could learn more about your videotape manipulation abilities. How does it work?
SCP-6534: Am I under arrest?
Vomac: Technically… no. How does your ability work?
SCP-6534: I wanna talk to a lawyer.
Vomac: You need to- look, you're not being accused of a crime, so you don't need an attorney.
SCP-6534: Then why did they cuff me at the- Vomac: Ms. Brown, if you answer every single one of my questions truthfully, I will let you leave. But until then, you'll have to stay here. Do you understand?
SCP-6534 takes a deep breath and nods its head "yes". Researcher Vomac takes a deep breath in return.
Vomac: Okay, question one: Do you have an ability to manipulate the content of VHS tapes in any way?
SCP-6534 nods its head "yes".
Vomac: Question two: How does this ability work? Is there a spell you need to chant? Or a demonic pact?
SCP-6534: Uh… no?
Silence.
Vomac: So what is the method that you use, exactly?
SCP-6534: I… really don't know how to explain it accurately… Vomac: How are you unable to- you've done it dozens of times, we've found over fifty tampered tapes. At this point, you'd have a good grasp on the process, no?
SCP-6534 does not respond. Researcher Vomac lets out a sigh.
Vomac: You know, I'm starting to suspect you don't have such an ability after all. That's why you're staying silent about your method, there isn't one.
SCP-6534 does not respond. Researcher Vomac grabs a VHS cassette in a bag under the table and hands it to SCP-6534.
Vomac: You can't do anything with this, can you?
SCP-6534: Wha- yes I can!
Vomac: Prove it.
SCP-6534 grips the cassette with its left hand and closes its eyes. It begins to smile and giggle to itself.
Twenty seconds pass. SCP-6534 opens its eyes and hands the cassette back to Researcher Vomac.
SCP-6534: Done. Why don't you watch it right now?
Researcher Vomac turns towards the TV and VHS player behind her.
Vomac: One step ahead of you.
The cassette is inserted into the player; playback begins.
A calm lake is visible on-screen.
Vomac: What did you add, exactly?
SCP-6534: <giggles> Oh, just a… little yellow duck.
Researcher Vomac observes the screen.
Vomac: Lies. There's no duck.
SCP-6534: I made her a little small… <giggles> you'll just have to look closer.
Researcher Vomac leans in closer at the picture.
Vomac: Why would you even make it so small if you're trying to prove that- {$caption} A loud shriek is heard as a black-and-white image of a deformed face appears on the screen.
Vomac: Oh, mother fucking God!
SCP-6534 begins to laugh harder. Researcher Vomac coughs and gags, regains her composure and turns back to look at the former.
Vomac: You- you little brat!
SCP-6534 points at the screen.
SCP-6534: I told you, there's a duck.
Vomac: I'm not falling for that again!
SCP-6534: <calming down> I'm legit this time, there's a duck. I added it, as I promised.
Reseacher Vomac groans and looks back at the screen in an apprehensive manner. The screaming noise has died down.
Vomac: Hey wait a minute, there is a du- {$caption} A loud distorted quack is heard as a shadowy image of a duck appears on-screen.
Vomac: Aw, motherfucker!
SCP-6534 begins to laugh uncontrollably.
<End Log> Following initial interrogation of SCP-6534, Researcher Vomac submitted a request to enroll it in the D-Class program; this request was denied.
