SCP-8269-D, prior to decommission.
SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: Following decommission, no further containment procedures for SCP-8269-D exist. O5-1 has been provided with a standard Foundation alarm clock.
DESCRIPTION: SCP-8269-D was a digital alarm clock purchased and utilized by O5-1.
Following an examination of SCP-8269-D, the anomaly was confirmed to possess no distinguishable features from identical models. However, according to O5-1, SCP-8269-D's alarm always rang precisely one hour after the time at which it was set. O5-1 is known to have frequently arrived late to his standard work schedule because of SCP-8269-D's anomalous effects.
However, subsequent testing indicated that this phenomenon manifested exclusively to O5-1. He has expressed extreme frustration on this topic and has requested to hold further experiments on SCP-8269-D.
ADDENDUM: EXPERIMENT LOGS
The following are various logs of experiments held by O5-1
EXPERIMENT A
Subject(s): O5-1
Test: Set SCP-8269 to ring at 10/16 6:30 A.M, the usual time O5-1 wakes up before commuting to Site-01.
Result: SCP-8269 rang at 10/16 7:30 A.M, exactly one hour after the pre-determined time.
Notes: Annoying, as usual. ~O5-1
EXPERIMENT B
Subject(s): D-14
Test: Set SCP-8269 to ring at 10/17 8:50 A.M, 10 minutes before scheduled testing hours.
Result: SCP-8269 successfully rang at the pre-determined time.
Notes: D-14 expressed having a "good night's sleep."
EXPERIMENT C
Subject(s): O5-1, D-14
Test: Keep O5-1 and D-14 in the same space, and set SCP-8269 to ring at 10/18 7:00 A.M.
Result: SCP-8269 successfully rang at 10/18 7:00 A.M. However, only D-14 reported hearing it ringing. SCP-8269 subsequently rang again at 8:00 A.M, leading to O5-1 waking up.
Notes: You've got to be fucking kidding me. ~O5-1
EXPERIMENT D
Subject(s): O5-1
Test: Set SCP-8269 to ring at 10/19 5:30 A.M, one hour before O5-1's usual wake up time.
Result: SCP-8269 rang at 10/20 5:30 A.M, 24 hours after the pre-determined time. This was the only logged instance where SCP-8269 did not follow its usual behavior.
Notes: Following Experiment D, O5-1 stated that he had accidentally dropped SCP-8269 while preparing it for additional testing. Shortly thereafter, what appeared to be the remains of SCP-8269 were found burning behind Site-01. When questioned, O5-1 expressed uncertainty on the matter.
SCP-8269 has been re-classified to SCP-8269-D following this event.
