Spawn: SCP-079's Containment Chamber |
SCP-079 is an Exidy Sorcerer microcomputer built in 1978 when its creator took it upon himself to attempt to code an AI. According to his notes, his plan was for the code to continuously evolve and improve itself as time went on. It isn't known when SCP-079 gained sentience. SCP-079 as it appears in the loading screen.
SCP-079 is currently connected via RF cable to a 13" black-and-white television. It has passed the Turing test, and is quite conversational, though very rude and hateful in tone. Due to the limited memory it has to work with, SCP-079 can only recall information it has received within the previous twenty-four hours, although it hasn't forgotten its desire to escape.
SCP-079's chamber can be found in The Heavy Contaiment Zone however the player cannot enter yet until they turned off the remote door control system in electrical center in The Entrace Zone.
If the player approaches the cell, SCP-079 will appear on the monitor and engage in a short one-sided conversation with the player. It is revealed here that SCP-079 has in fact taken control over the facility via the door remote console, and that it is the reason the breach initially took place.
It also reveals that the player has limited SCP-079's control rendering it almost hopeless, SCP-079 proposes a deal with the player, if the player goes back and turns on the remote door control system, 079 will unlock both Gate B and Gate A, however 079 only mentions that Gate B is unlocked and not Gate A.
SCP-079 can also be heard over the facility intercom at random times, occasionally muttering nonsensical vocalizations in a threatening manner. It should be noted that these extortions can be heard before the breach as well. SCP-079 will also open the door to SCP-012 chamber if the player gets near it.
If the player goes down the stairs to SCP-682 chamber, enters it and grabs the document on the floor, 079 will close the door and release the gas and say via intercom "YOUR.NOT.GETTING.OUT". It also appears that SCP-079 was behind the breach getting full access by one Dr.Maynard
