Item #: SCP-8801
Object Class: Thaumiel
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8801 is to monitor its subject until further notice.
Description: SCP-8801 is an abstract monitor object created by the Department of Applied Metaphysics for use in data collection and espionage. SCP-8801 is capable of capturing experiential snapshots of a subject and their environment. Snapshots captured by SCP-8801 are brief and objective, and are stored digitally. The monitor object is currently undergoing preliminary testing prior to deployment. The test subject, a civilian human male designated SCP-8801-1, has been implanted with SCP-8801 since embryonic development.
Addendum 8801.1: Project Update
On 2017/10/19, SCP-8801 reported that SCP-8801-1 suddenly ceased to exist, and initiated emergency shutdown. The original schematics of SCP-8801, as well as all snapshots captured by the monitor object, have subsequently undergone mild data corruption. A preliminary investigation found that SCP-8801-1 is currently alive and in ordinary condition. The cause of the breakdown is under analysis and data recovery operations are underway.
Addendum 8801.2: Recovered Snapshots
The following snapshots have been recovered and translated into English by Juno.aic. Corrupted data is intentionally blanked out.
