SCP-079 originates in the SCP Foundation collaborative writing project as an artificial intelligence housed in an old computer that constantly tries to escape containment. The character became widely known through SCP Containment Breach, the 2012 indie horror game where its broadcasts and interactions help drive the facility chaos. As SCP lore expanded across videos, fan games and roleplay servers, short clips of its synthetic voice were shared as standalone sounds. The broadcast remains popular because it instantly identifies the character and the wider SCP horror setting for fans.
