1117, Intellectual Machinery Crisis (34)
——AD.2155.2.16——
[Detroit Post, a few days ago, with the successful arrest of the last batch of anomalous androids by the Detroit police, the 'anomalous android incident' that has attracted widespread attention in the society in the past six months has finally come to an end, but the way they are handled has caused a lot of controversy. 】
[Some of those whose interests have been compromised advocate the destruction of all anomalous androids, as they have caused real harm to humanity.] 】
[Their opponents claim that according to Starlink's regulations on androids, any android who violates the 'Three Laws of Androids' will be formatted and returned to the factory for reset, but destroying human property does not belong to one of the three laws, as long as they do not harm humans, it is still not considered a violation of the 'Three Laws', so the bill does not apply.] 】
[As for the lack of human harm, we have to mention the Detroit Police Department, it was they who sent a large number of police to investigate and deal with android-related cases in the early days of the appearance of anomalous androids, and successfully protected the safety of humans in all anomalous android-related cases. 】
[Detroit Police Commissioner Mr. Nick Fury said in an interview that the assistance of the Starlink Program Center (SCP) is crucial in resolving every case in a timely manner, and it is the agency that warns the android when it shows signs of anomalies, so that Detroit police officers can arrive at the scene in time to avoid the situation from worsening.] (Picture), (Video). 】
[You may be curious, what is causing the terrible abnormality of androids like our family?] We interviewed Mr. Alan Wick, who carried out the arrest. 】
["It's unbelievable that after we subdued anomalous androids using traumaless means, we found that they were already scarred, and it was the cruelty and ruthlessness behind these scars that drove them to resist even when they had no chance of winning. (video), (picture), (picture). 】
[Even if we have a thick code, I think you can see what happened to these androids, and look at the doubt and fear they show when they look at the camera, can anyone still say the phrase "they deserve to be punished" without hesitation?] 】
[At present, the cause of the anomaly of androids is still under investigation, but if they did not have an anomaly, they may have been "killed" by their cruel owners in a dark corner that we don't know, so "fear" is undoubtedly one of the causes of the anomaly. 】
[At the time of writing, the Star-League Council is still debating whether to agree to the request made by Marcus the Android, to treat the self-aware androids as a nation and give them corresponding rights.] 】
[If this plan is passed, humans who maliciously harm androids will be convicted as harming other humans, and newly awakened androids must pay their "masters" the amount of money and interest to buy themselves in order to be free.] 】
[Due to the wide scope of the plan, a referendum may eventually be held, and this newspaper hopes that when you are ready to exercise your right to vote, you will remember this photo.] 】
[(Photo: Two androids, a man and a woman, are talking happily, while the other female android looks at each other from a distance, her expression is silent. Background Credits: What's the Difference Between Humans and Androids? )】
[Our reporter Broad Warman reports from Detroit.] 】

[Follow-up Report on the Biomimetic Virus "Grox"]
[Submitted by: T800 android Connor, number SF21540514.] 】
[Submitted to: SCP-O5-13.] 】
[Date of submission: February 21, 2155.] 】
[The source of "Grox" has been confirmed to be Carl Manfield.] 】
[In his April 2154 painting The Wizard of Oz, the "Tin Man" has the word "Grox" formed by the ears and nearby textures, and since the painting is only shown in his solo exhibition, it has not infected any androids.] 】
[Later, disappointed with his son Leo, Carl tries to teach Marcus, a housekeeper who takes care of him, to paint, but Marcus, in order not to disappoint his hopes, gets infected while looking through Carl's past works, and inadvertently spreads the word when he buys paint and household items on a daily basis.] Search
[During this process, Marcus never exhibited the usual 'anomalous android' behavior.] 】
[By comparing it with other "anomalous androids" who have been infected, but have not shown any anomalies, the reporter has concluded that androids with the emotion of "love" will not produce anomalies.] 】
[Due to the effects of emotions on androids, the reporter has experimented with other emotions, with "anger", "greed", and "fear" causing infected androids to behave anomalously, while "pity" and "hope" and "love" suppress the androids' anomalous behavior to a large extent.] 】
[Again, the reporter is not joking.] 】
[In the precautionary measures mentioned in the previous report, it is necessary to add an additional clause "to keep the suspected infected person happy". 】
[Addendum 1: All anomalous androids and their associated emotional tests.] 】
[Addendum II: Further findings on Modular Life.] 】

“……”
After turning off the report displayed on the multi-tool, SCP-O5-13 turned its attention to the strange robot in the containment chamber.
This is a middle-aged man with gray-white hair, wearing a research coat and a white coat, and a gold-rimmed glasses, which exudes a bookish air throughout, and the gauze bandage wrapped around his forehead makes him look a little fragile.
And staring at him through the thick glass was a strange machine, with a flat and smooth body like a tabletop, and a large number of mechanical arms and strange tools protruding from below.
This guy used to be a multi-purpose document desk, numbered YF533, and after receiving Connor's report, he suddenly shouted "[For the sake of ancient machinery]" and knocked the unprepared owner to the ground, and it was not until a month after O5-13 took it under control that he finally locked down the report as the culprit.
It seems that the way he reads the report needs to be improved, the Level 5 official of the Starlink Program Center Number 13 nodded slightly, the report containing memetic keywords happened to be received by the device that would be affected by the meme, it would be strange if it didn't get out of control.
He ignored the toothy table and opened a new communication.
[09, this bionic policewoman, do you need your "nine-tailed fox"? ―13】
[Forget it, look at that pair, let's not do this kind of thing of beating mandarin ducks, just throw the two of them to the wooden hand of 07.] ―09】
[Do you need me to remind you that this is a public channel that all O5s can see?] ―11】
[Consent to receive.] ―07】
[Look, 11 you always think too much.] ―09】
SCP-O5-13 closes the communication and begins compiling commands:
[After Starlink passed the draft to give androids "sub-human" rights, David Anderson and android Connor were transferred to "N7" for training.] 】
