Andrew O'Malley
Special Containment Procedures
Foundation covert agents are to maintain the guise that SCP-5179 is a public performance. Due to the nature of its anomalous effects, no further containment protocols are necessary.
Description
SCP-5179 is a phenomenon surrounding Andrew O'Malley.A street performer in Rutherford, New Jersey who is regarded in high esteem due to the skill he demonstrates when playing the tuba.. Every year on January 3rd, O'Malley exits his home and proceeds to Lincoln Park, wherein he will sit on the park bench closest to the amphitheater and play a song. The song is of unknown origin and is presumably a unique composition that was written by O'Malley. Physical and verbal interaction with O'Malley is impossible for the duration of this song.
At the conclusion of the song, an apparition in the form of a human infant, designated SCP-5179-1, will manifest in O'Malley's lap. SCP-5179-1 remains corporeal for approximately one hour before demanifesting, at which point O'Malley will return to his normal routine.
Lyrics
Foundation Researcher Umar Hadid was able to converse with O'Malley during an SCP-5179 manifestation. O'Malley refused to answer any questions regarding SCP-5179 and instead offered him a sheet of music. After being screened for cognitohazardous elements, the note was deemed safe to include in this document.
Oh Kai, my sweet child
You never knew the world.
You were barely a child when you were taken from me.
And now I'm here alone.
Oh my child.
Oh my child.
How I would have loved to hear you laugh.
Following this incident, O'Malley ceased performing for approximately two years. At his next performance however, he was seen accompanied by a female adult.
