SCP-513 | A Cowbell (SCP Orientation)

SCP Orientation is an archive of files of the SCP Foundation.

Today we will be studying Item number SCP-513: A Cowbell, Object class: Euclid.

Physically, SCP-513 is an unremarkable, rusty cowbell. However, any noise produced by SCP-513 immediately induces strong anxiety in all sentient beings who hear it, regardless of their previous mental status. Exposure victims report feelings of being watched by an unseen entity and present elevated heart rates and blood pressure.

Roughly one hour after exposure, exposure victims begin to catch glimpses of SCP-513-1 when opening doors, walking past mirrors, turning their heads, or performing any other actions that result in a sudden change in visual perception.

Descriptions of SCP-513-1's appearance are largely unreliable. Test subjects are unable to provide complete accounts of sightings due to their exhaustion, degraded mental health, and disruptive hypervigilance. However, all interrogations thus far indicate that SCP-513-1 is a tall, emaciated humanoid with abnormally large hands.

Dr. Bright is not allowed to attempt to convince ANYONE that shouting “Bing bong, bring it on!” while ringing SCP-513 will negate its effect.

[blairshort]

Dr Clef is reminded few personnel are aware of 'the secret cow level.' Despite similarities in appearance.

[aaronmorris]

To err is human, to ring SCP 513, bovine.

[Fizzbann]

To offset the effect the invisible man needs, more cowbell played to the tune of blue oyster cults' biggest hits.

[derp-construction]

First test that came to my mind was having multiple test subjects exposed at the same time. Determine if those subjects can see what each other sees. If yes, try sleeping in shifts while others keep watch, since the SCiP is apparently shy.

I've got a sickness, and the only cure, is MOAR COWBELL! (Mississippi Queen intensifies)

[fesworks]

I think we should seal it in a vat of Flex Seal.

[Lawsonomy]

Sounds like they need to play this bell for project omega or SCP-092. That should sort it out.

[ThatYoderVODS]

Oh no mom found the cowbell and now I’m paranoid and depressed

[The-Branch]

Dr Bright is not allowed to request "More cowbell" under any circumstances.

[gretacrimson]

Wait wait wait...containment procedure Moo? for a cowbell....someone did that on purpose

[genocyber]

If u hear it ..it can touch you..creepy 😳

[Megamanthemachine]

What I find stupid about the containment procedures for this scp is that certain other scps that have practical uses for both children and adults such as the ability to fight off bad dreams are not recommended these do help to heal and improve mental state overtime while this is something to be performed remotely death isn’t the best form of relief assuming if there are similar scps that could be tested to cure it other wise we may not know what else.

[okiwatashi]

I think ballistic gelatin would be prudent in case of blunt trauma.

Was the female D class's jump suit made by Versace?(thumbnail)
Looks quite fashionable.

[JoseMolina-ijxx]

I don't understand why this sound based SCP has be in an unreliable medium like a gelatin. Just putting it in a vacuum chamber should be enough to silence its sound. I'm guessing they absolutely have to have someone be able to activate the Cowbell at will, instead of waiting for the vacuum to return to normal atmospheric pressure.

[ashleighstratmann]

Too bad all 513 did to 682 was cause 682 to sleep walk, break containment, kill hundreds of Foundation members, break into 513 main containment room as it sleep, and here's my favorite part--according to 682--it had a nice dream the entire time as well

[Omni_gerrard]

Why is it Euclid it must be Safe Cause it Cant move So cant Breach Containment

[TheAngelOfDeath]

Hmmm I came here but I’m smell sum

Sum off











OMG ITS THE PESTILENCE

[EdricLysharae]

1) Immobilize the thing with bungie cord tethers.
2) Have anchored tethers attached to the inside of an air-evacuated container.
3) Stop displaying the thing like a damn trophy!
