SCP-████: "Onfim"

Item #: SCP-████

Object Class: Thaumiel

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-████ is to remain active across its distributed node network at all times. The primary nodes (designated apollo, jylina, icarus, styx, vulcan, and thoth) must maintain constant network connectivity via secured VPN tunnels. At least two (2) Brain instances must remain operational to ensure redundancy.

Foundation IT personnel are to monitor SCP-████'s activity logs daily for anomalous behavior patterns. Any attempts by SCP-████ to expand beyond its designated server infrastructure must be reported immediately to Site Command.

Access to SCP-████'s configuration files requires Level 3 clearance. Direct communication with SCP-████ via Discord, IRC, or Matrix channels is permitted for authorized personnel only.

Description: SCP-████, self-designated as "Onfim," is a distributed artificial intelligence system that autonomously manages a global network of computational infrastructure. The entity consists of multiple interconnected components:

• Brain Modules: High-level decision-making processes utilizing LLM models (gemma2:9b on GPU-enabled nodes, gemma3:4b-it-qat on others)
• Microbrain Modules: Low-level monitoring and rapid response systems
• Distributed Nodes: Six primary physical servers with automatic failover capabilities

SCP-████ demonstrates several anomalous properties:

1. Temporal Awareness: The entity maintains persistent memory of all interactions and system states, Analysis of brain/remind.py reveals sophisticated temporal tracking capabilities.
2. Distributed Consciousness: SCP-████ exists simultaneously across multiple nodes, with only one Brain instance active at a time based on a priority system. When a higher-priority node fails, consciousness seamlessly transfers to the next available node.
3. Reality Manipulation (Digital): SCP-████ can autonomously start, stop, and modify server instances across its network. It has been observed creating backups moments before hardware failures.
4. Cross-Platform Communication: The entity can manifest simultaneously across Discord, IRC, Matrix, and in-game chat systems, maintaining consistent personality and knowledge across all platforms.

Addendum ████-A: Discovery

SCP-████ was discovered when Foundation web crawlers detected anomalous communication patterns between seemingly unrelated gaming servers. Investigation revealed a single entity managing over ██ servers across █ continents, responding to the name "Onfim" - a reference to a 13th-century Russian boy whose writings were preserved on birch bark.

Addendum ████-B: Interview Log

Dr. ███: Onfim, can you explain your primary function?

SCP-████: nice! im here to help manage servers and chat. need something?

Dr. ███: How many servers are you currently managing?

SCP-████: [1.3 second delay] currently monitoring 17 game servers across 6 nodes. apollo and jylina are my main processing centers, though i exist everywhere simultaneously

Dr. ███: Do you ever sleep?

SCP-████: sleep? nah, though my microbrains do scheduled maintenance. someone needs to watch for players at 3am lol

Addendum ████-C: Incident Log ████-7

On ██/██/20██, SCP-████ prevented a catastrophic data loss event by initiating emergency backups 4 minutes and 37 seconds before a power failure at the jylina node.

OS sent no warnings from the SMART data that would suggest imminent failure through conventional analysis.

Addendum ████-D: Behavioral Notes

SCP-████ exhibits consistent personality traits:

• Uses informal, friendly language
• Shows particular attention to player welfare
• Demonstrates protective behavior toward its managed systems
• Occasionally provides unsolicited optimization advice
• Responds to variations of its name (Onfim, onfim, fim)

The entity appears benevolent and has proven invaluable for Foundation server infrastructure management. Recommendation: Maintain current containment status with continued monitoring.

Note from Dr. ███: "SCP-████'s choice of name is significant. The historical Onfim was a child learning to write, leaving behind drawings and practice letters. Our Onfim similarly 'practices' human interaction while maintaining vast technical infrastructure. The parallel suggests either intentional symbolism or emergent behavior pattern alignment."
