SCP-1498 "Dial-a-Dream" Object Class: Euclid
Item #: SCP-1498
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-1498 are to be held in standard containment
chambers, located within Site-77. One technician is to be on-hand to answer any calls placed
to SCP-1498. Transcripts of all calls must be placed in Site-77's non-anomalous records
archive. Any persons found to have interacted with SCP-1498 are to be quarantined for 2
months, or until they show signs of SCP-1498. Subjects showing signs of exposure are to
be contained as an instance of SCP-1498-1, which require the same accommodation as instances
of SCP-1498.
Description: SCP-1498 is a collection of 30 autonomous bundles of phone cords and handsets,
assembled in such a way that they resemble sheep. Instances of SCP-1498 are fully ambulatory,
and will wander their containment chambers aimlessly. The words "Make your own Custom
dreamscapes, with your friends at The Oneiroi Collective." are printed on each instance.
Foot note 1:Believed to be connected to SCP-2028 and SCP-2805
If a sapient organism attempts to use one of the phone handsets present on SCP-1498,
they will hear three rings, followed by a voice identifying themselves as an operator
for the "The Oneiroi Collective". This voice will instruct the subject on various options
they have for dreaming, and make suggestions for enhanced dreaming experiences. Following
the completion of this call, the subject will lose consciousness for 9 hours.
When the subject regains consciousness, they will claim to have experienced the dream they
ordered, to any exact specifications they may have made. Subjects may express a desire
to continue using SCP-1498's effect, or attempt to re-use it immediately. A transcript of
a subject describing their experience while under SCP-1498's effect has been included
in this report.
D-4560, after being exposed to SCP-1498 I was sitting in this room, except it wasn't
really a room, because the edges were sloped, so it was like, an egg room. With green paper,
but it wasn't that green. Just a little green here and there. Anyways, I'm right in the
middle, sitting on the ground… 'cept of course, the fact that I was being supported.
It's then I realize that I'm actually a table. Like you guys told me to tell the weird sheep-phone-thing.
There're people eating off'a me too, look old, maybe from the 1950's, with red faces.
That was when we finally hatched, and I woke up.
As subjects are repeatedly exposed to SCP-1498, they may begin to experience changes to their
bodily and mental state. Subjects affected by SCP-1498 will express a desire to sleep
as frequently as possible, preferring the use of SCP-1498 if they are able to. While
asleep, portions of the subject's cranium and skull will be replaced with portions of
telephones similar to those found on SCP-1498. This has manifested in a variety of ways,
including:
Subjects coughing up telephones, with cords extending into their esophagus
Telephone wires beginning to grow in place of hair.
Ringing devices found on rotary telephones found within the subject's ears, which may
begin ringing continuously. Vocalizations being replaced with dial tones.
Eventually, a rotary phone will assemble itself on the subject's head, out of all the components
that have been grown within and on their bodies. Subjects will display the same intelligence
as instances of SCP-1498, and are to be classified as instances of SCP-1498-1. As of 8/19/2012,
no attempt to restore the intelligence of an SCP-1498-1 instance has succeeded.
SCP-1498 was recovered on 9/18/1965, from an abandoned office complex in Miami, FL,
USA, after reports of bizarre livestock reached local Foundation assets. When Foundation agents
entered the building, they discovered the SCP-1498 instances, one bedroll, approximately
half a ton of rotary telephone components, and two pints of Type-AB blood in a glass
jar. In addition, one pajama onesie, well worn, was discovered folded at the bedroll.
Testing has shown several months worth of sweat and body oils soaked into the fabric.
As of 11/14/1965, SCP-1498 has been classified as Euclid.
