SCP-3407 vào thời điểm thu hồi.
Mã Vật thể: SCP-3407
Phân loại: Safe
Quy trình Quản thúc Đặc biệt: SCP-3407 phải được đặt đối diện một màn hình chiếu 5x13m và giữ bên trong buồng chiếu ở độ cao 8 mét. Tổ chức chỉ định trưởng nhóm nghiên cứu, Ts. Carter, chuyên gia đọc khẩu hình, Nghiên cứu viên Lynn và hai Nhân sự Cấp 1 phải có mặt tại Điểm-28 trước 12:30 (giờ địa phương) để ghi chú các hình ảnh trình chiếu hàng ngày của SCP-3407.
Mô tả: SCP-3407 là một chiếc máy chiếu phim hiệu Pathé-Frèques sản xuất năm 1910. Dị thể có dấu hiệu hao mòn khớp với niên đại và sở hữu cấu trúc y hệt với các sản phẩm cùng loại không mang đặc tính dị thường.
Vào đúng 13:00 mỗi ngày trừ Chủ nhật, SCP-3407 sẽ chiếu một bộ phim câm đen trắng. Bối cảnh của bộ phim đặt tại một thị trấn ngoại ô mang tên [DỮ LIỆU BỊ TÁC ĐỘNG], khắc họa góc nhìn thứ nhất của một người đàn ông Mỹ gốc Phi trưởng thành. Thời lượng mỗi suất chiếu kéo dài khoảng hai mươi lăm phút trước khi dị thể ngừng hoạt động trở lại.
SCP-3407 luôn chiếu bộ phim của riêng nó bất kể có cuộn phim nào được đặt vào trục nạp hay không. Tuy nhiên, Tổ chức nhận thấy chất lượng hình ảnh trình chiếu sẽ thấp hơn khi có cuộn phim được nạp vào dị thể. SCP-3407 đồng thời sở hữu khả năng tự kích hoạt chính nó mà không cần đến bất ký nguồn điện hay thao tác thủ công nào. Các nỗ lực kích hoạt SCP-3407 ngoài lịch chiếu đều thất bại.
Mỗi lần chiếu, SCP-3407 sẽ trình chiếu một chuỗi sự kiện khác biệt so với các lần chiếu trước đó. Một xu hướng phổ biến trong các hình ảnh trình chiếu của SCP-3407 là cảnh người đàn ông nói trên tương tác với một cá thể nữ nhỏ tuổi, được cho là con gái của đối tượng. Các cảnh có sự xuất hiện của nhân vật bé gái thường diễn ra tại các địa điểm như công viên, nhà thờ và phòng ngủ nhỏ. Năm phút cuối cùng của bộ phim luôn kết thúc bằng cảnh đối tượng bị cưỡng chế ghì chặt xuống giường, trước khi một nhân vật khác, được cho là bác sĩ, tiến lại gần và tiêm một chất chưa xác định vào đối tượng.
Các cá nhân tiếp xúc với hình ảnh trình chiếu từ SCP-3407 báo cáo có một sự thay đổi trong trạng thái cảm xúc. Tổ chức đã ghi nhận được các biểu hiện buồn sầu, hoài niệm và hưng phấn nhẹ. Hiện chưa phát hiện bất kỳ tác hại nào sau khi họ xem hình ảnh được chiếu từ SCP-3407.
Phụ lục 3407.1: Tổ chức chỉ định Ts. Carter làm nghiên cứu viên chính ghi chú về các đặc tính dị thường của SCP-3407. Dưới đây là danh sách lược trích về các lần trình chiếu được ghi nhận trong quá trình quan sát SCP-3407:
PROJECTION 001:
00:00 - Scene appears to be in a wedding chapel. Camera POV is shown to turn around to see the subject’s friends and family in the seats of the chapel.
07:13 - Camera shifts towards the entrance of the chapel. A noticeably pregnant African-American woman is shown walking down the aisle with an adult male, presumed to be the woman’s father.
12:35 - Camera is facing the woman. The woman is observed to be both smiling and lightly weeping at the same time. After 5 minutes pass, the wedding officiant is seen to state what is inferred to be “I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.” The camera moves forward and the male begins embracing the woman.
18:45 - The subject and woman hold each other's hands and begin walking down the aisle. Friends and family stand up from their seats, applauding the newly wedded couple. Screen unexpectedly shifts to black.
20:00 - Screen luminates after 75 seconds of dead air. Subject begins to observe their surroundings and finds themselves restrained against a bed. Subject begins thrashing in an attempt to free themselves. An unknown figure enters the room, presumed to be a doctor based on their attire. The doctor stands at a counter near the subject and begins filling a syringe with an unknown substance. Subject continues thrashing in the bed as the doctor injects the subject, causing the screen to instantaneously turn black.
24:30 - Film unexpectedly burns out. Projection continues for another 30 seconds before becoming inoperable.
PROJECTION 004:
00:25 - After 25 seconds of film tearing, SCP-3407 readjusts itself and begins the projection. The camera is moving forward up a hill. The subject is accompanied by a small, juvenile African American female, estimated to be close to 0.64 meters; presumed to be the subject’s daughter. The subject is shown to be holding a bouquet of roses and tulips.
04:36 - The subject and the female reach the peak of the hill to find a wooden cross in the ground. Inscribed on the cross is what is presumed to be the name of the deceased: “LORETTA”. What appears to be water droplets begin flowing down the camera on both the left and right sides. The subject places the flower bouquet on the cross.
15:03 - Subject and the child take each other’s hands and begin leaving the hill.
16:00 - Film burns out, leaving the projection inoperable for nearly 4 minutes before reactivating.
20:00 - Projection becomes active again, displaying a similar scene from the former projections. The subject observes their surroundings and begins thrashing more forcibly than previous projections. The same doctor seen before enters the room, presumably shouting at the subject to be quiet. Subject refuses to comply, to which the doctor approaches the subject and injects them with a syringe.
23:30 - Screen blacks out. SCP-3407 remains active for another minute and a half before becoming inoperable.
PROJECTION 016:
00:00 - Scene begins in the middle of the night within a master bedroom. Camera suddenly begins shaking when the subject hastily jumps out of bed. Subject sprints out of the room towards a separate, smaller bedroom.
02:05 - The juvenile female is shown lying in her bed in a state of distress; tears and mucus are seen flowing down her face. Subject takes a seat on the bed and begins comforting the female.
10:00 - The former scene continues until the female eventually returns to a tranquil state. The subject opens the drawer to a nearby bedside table and pulls out a bright feminine hairbrush. There is a small lily flower engraved on the end of the handle. Subject begins to use the hairbrush to fix the female’s disorderly hair.
14:35 - Subject brings the female to a nearby vanity mirror, where the female observes her brushed hair. The female smiles and moves her mouth in a way that has been identified as “I love you Daddy”. The female, while smiling, puts her arms around the subject; the subject does the same while slowly caressing the back of the female’s head.
18:43 - Screen changes to black.
20:00 - Projection becomes active once again. Scene reflects the same chain of events as previous entries.

PROJECTION 029:
00:00 - Scene begins with the subject and the female bonding with each other as they walk down a street. The female is seen laughing as the subject lifts her on his shoulders. Several shots display a pair of feet dangling down as the subject begins sprinting down the road.
04:02 - Subject halts as the two come across a small playground, complete with a double swing set and a slide. The female gestures the subject to take her to the playground; subject complies.
06:08 - The female jumps up on one of the swings. Lip reading specialist Researcher Lynn finds that the female says the words: “Daddy, can you please push me on the swings?” Subject complies, adding momentum to the female while swinging.
09:37 - Female jumps off the swing set and runs over to the slide. Female gestures the subject to push her down the slides, the subject once again complies.
13:03 - Female is shown to be in a mix between exhaustion and euphoria. The subject lifts the female up into his arms and carries her to a nearby bench. The two sit on the bench together, pointing out any birds that fly past in the sky.

20:00 - Scene cuts to the same setting as previous projections. The doctor is seen sitting at the foot of the bed the subject is restrained upon. The doctor begins what is presumed to be stroking the side of the subject’s face, forcing a smile while doing so.
23:28 - Subject bites the doctor’s right index finger. The doctor’s blood begins gushing over the bed sheets as the subject bites harder.
23:56 - Subject releases the doctor's hand. The doctor is seen in an intense state of distress, holding their hand as blood gushes down. The doctor regains their composure and begins filling the usual syringe to a much higher amount than seen in previous projections. Subject begins thrashing in their bed until the doctor injects the subject with the substance.
24:30 - Film burns out. Projection continues for another 30 seconds before becoming inoperable.
PROJECTION 063:
00:00 - Scene begins with the subject and female walking on the side of the road. For a few frames, the female is seen smiling at the subject as she reaches to hold his hand.
05:01 - The scene is now in what is now found to be the 1910 version of the town’s main street plaza. The subject and female begin to walk down the street as a group of Caucasian men give the subject unpleasant glances when passing.
07:06 - Camera pans up to a building with the words “NICKELODEON ¢10”. A poster is seen at the entrance stating: The EDISON KINETOGRAM - Scene from ‘Frankenstein’. To the left of the poster, there is a sign in bolded, capital letters that reads: “WHITES ONLY.” The female points to the Frankenstein poster, asking the subject if they can see the program. The subject presumably denies the request. Female grows visibly upset by this and enters the front entrance of the Nickelodeon. The subject enters in after her.
10:04 - Subject instantly rushes after her only to be stopped by a crowd of caucasian males. The men apprehend the subject, squirming and fighting to be released. The female is briefly seen in several shots, appearing to be in a state of distress while being apprehended by security officers.
13:05 - The men carry the subject to an upstairs closet of the Nickelodeon.
15:00 - Film begins tearing.
20:00 - SCP-3407 finally readjusts itself; the projection continues. The scene reflects the chain of events typically projected during the final five minutes of previous projections. Noticeably, there are two dark silhouettes seen conversing in a door frame.
24:30 - Film burns out. Projection continues for another 30 seconds before becoming inoperable.
PROJECTION 064:
02:02 - Projection begins after two minutes of film tear. The camera is pitch black; nothing appears on the screen.
05:29 - Screen suddenly luminates. What is briefly seen to be a burlap sack is lifted off of the subject’s head, causing the screen to no longer be pitch black and reveal the scene. A tall Caucasian male in surgeon attire stands before the subject. In the background, three silhouettes are seen writing on clipboards.
06:07 - The surgeon holds a scalpel and moves the blade of it near the left side of the camera, presumably toward the subject's left eye.
