 Item Number – SCP-119 Object Class – Euclid Special Containment Procedures – SCP-119 is to remain open and unplugged at all times except during testing. The door to the room in which SCP-119 resides is to be locked for all periods except during experimentation with the entry codes given only to authorized research and security personnel and industrial grade disinfectant will be available nearby at all times and the inside of SCP-119 is to be heavily disinfected before any testing. The contents of SCP-119 are to be monitored through the viewing window and SCP-119 at all times during testing and will be stopped immediately should the contents become hostile or otherwise damaging to SCP-119. Description – SCP-119 is a Panasonic Microwave Oven. It was initially discovered by an agent who had bought it from a liquidation sale of the assets from Valley Vineyards. It is believed that Valley Vineyards was using the anomalous properties of SCP-119 to rapidly age its products and create expensive vintages. Records show that said company was making under the table sales of vintages dated as far back as 19 many years before the company's inception in 2005. These sales are what led to the lawsuits accusing the company of falsifying product information and other forms of fraud which eventually caused Valley Vineyards to declare bankruptcy. SCP-119 appears to be a standard model of microwave in all respects except that the Magnetron unit does not produce microwave radiation. Instead, the Magnetron emits a previously unknown type of radiation that accelerates time. The amount of time accelerated is based on the time input given at the start in the power level setting. The time input allows for three digits and there are five power level settings. On power level one, the number of seconds input equals the number of seconds experienced within the microwave. Therefore, an input of 30 seconds would cause the microwave to run for 30 seconds at the end of which the object will have aged 30 seconds. Each subsequent power level one past one causes an exponential increase in the acceleration of time. At power level two with an input of 30 seconds, the microwave will run for 30 seconds and the contents will have aged 900 seconds, 15 minutes, or 30 times 30 seconds. At power level five with an input of 999 seconds, the microwave will run for 999 seconds and the contents will have aged 31,529,964 years. Experimentation with the other buttons on the microwave have not resulted in any anomalous properties, although they do still function as would be expected from a normal microwave. The minute plus button for example adds 60 seconds and the defrost function prompts the user to open the door and flip the contents periodically. Pressing the minute plus button during operation however does not recalculate the adjusted time acceleration, merely causing the contents to age at the pre-calculated rate for another 60 seconds. For example, power level two for 30 seconds would age for 900 seconds, 15 minutes. Input of minute plus would result in the microwave running for 90 seconds and aging the contents 2,700 seconds, 45 minutes, or 3 times 30 times 30 instead of aging the contents for 8,100 seconds, 135 minutes, or 90 times 90. SCP-119 can be dismantled and replacement parts can be substituted for every component except the magnetron. When placing the magnetron in any other microwave, including duplicates of the same model, the magnetron continues to exhibit time acceleration, however replicating the effects of anything above power level two have failed in every model except the original microwave in which the magnetron was found. Although SCP-119, like all standard microwave models, will normally only function when the door is closed, during deconstruction it was determined that disabling the closing mechanism allows the device to work while open. Subsequent testing determined that the radiation emitted from SCP-119 has a fallout pattern very similar to the microwave radiation it replaced. However, further experiments operating SCP-119 while open now require the approval of a clearance level four personnel. Addendum After subsequent testing, it has been determined that the accelerated time experienced within SCP-119 is not accelerated from the perspective of those being affected, instead causing the occupants to perceive that they are simply staying inside of the microwave for the adjusted duration. Should living creatures be exposed to SCP-119 for extended durations, they could quite quickly die of starvation, as they will require as much sleep and food as they would outside of SCP-119. Therefore, further experimentation with living beings now requires the approval of a clearance level four personnel. Furthermore, due to the possibility of microorganisms undergoing accelerated evolution within SCP-119, industrial-grade disinfectant has now been added to the containment procedure for SCP-119. Test Log for SCP-119 Contents Cup of lukewarm coffee Time input 60 seconds Power level 1 Test results Agent attempted to reheat his coffee. Microwave activated and ran for one minute. Coffee was still cool upon removal. Cup of lukewarm coffee Time input 60 seconds Power level 4 Test results Agent increased power level, assuming the first setting was too weak. Microwave activated and ran for one minute. Upon opening the door, Agent discovered his coffee had grown a thick layer of mold and scum, consistent with the amount that would be expected from leaving a cup of coffee out for five months. At this point, the agent brought the microwave to the attention of the foundation. Contents Stopwatch Time input 30 seconds Power level 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 Test results Series of tests conducted to determine effects of various power levels on time fluctuation. Resulting time on stopwatch was 30 seconds, 15 minutes, 7 hours and 30 minutes. And 99 hours, 99 minutes and 99 seconds. There was no result for the last test, as the battery had died. Subsequent test using a more powerful stopwatch with a larger display resulted in 9 days, 9 hours and 281 days and 6 hours for the last two settings. Contents Radis Norvegicus Common Lab Rat Time input 60 Power level 4 Test results Testing had expected the subject to age 5 months. Upon starting the timer, subject became a blur, barely visible in its rapid movement around the container. At 3 seconds, subject ceased all movement. At 5 seconds, subject began rotting rapidly. Testing was halted at 10 seconds and SCP-119 is cleaned of excrement and remains of subject. Cause of death was determined to be dehydration. Contents Radis Norvegicus Common Lab Rat Small cage with lining, external automatic food and water dispenser, filled with 5 months of food and water, attached to tubes routed through air vent. Time input 60 Power level 4 Test results Upon starting the timer, subject became a blur, rapidly moving throughout its cage. Both the food and water supplies drained from their containers rapidly. At 60 seconds, subject was found to be dirty due to its uncleaned cage, but otherwise fine. SCP-119 Cleaned Examination revealed subject to being poor health due to its living conditions in the uncleaned cage, but with no abnormalities. Contents One liter of water in a shallow glass bowl. Temperature and room containing SCP-119 lowered to 1 degree Celsius. Time input 600 Power level 5 Test results Time inside SCP-119 intended to be approximately 24.7 years, with an initial input of 60 seconds. Test intended to determine the difference of atmosphere and heat transfer between the inside and outside of SCP-119, as demonstrated by the evaporation of water at near freezing temperatures. The research assistant entering the time added an extra zero, which would bring the total time up to 2,465,753 years, or over 4,000 years a second. Upon pressing start, an immense amount of air began to cycle through the vent. The assistant immediately recognized his mistake and opened the door to stop the timer, at which point a wave of bluish spores emitted from SCP-119 and onto the assistant. The assistant began to choke and quickly asphyxiated. Subsequent testing on atmospheric conditions revealed low oxygen and high carbon dioxide levels, as well as elevated levels of sulfur. The spores were found to be an unknown Xerofilix species of mold. Within SCP-119 was a dense ecosystem of molds and tardigrades, water bears, along with numerous other unknown species, some of which do not neatly fit within existing categories. The entire ecosystem has created a balanced atmosphere and seems to have stemmed from the original contents of the water, air, and the assistant. In light of this test, containment procedures have been updated to include industrial disinfectant, contents, none. Door is removed from microwave for the duration of this experiment. SCP-119 placed in the middle of a large Faraday cage room with freshly painted floor, using paint that changes colors as it dries. Time input, 30, power level, 3, test results. SCP-119 remotely activated and all testing observed remotely. Result in paint pattern demonstrated the fall-off of radiation from the microwave. The paint closest to the front of the door demonstrating 8 hours of drying and the furthest section of the floor behind the microwave demonstrated closer to 2 hours of drying. Contents, none. Door is removed from microwave for duration of this experiment. SCP-119 is placed in the middle of a large Faraday cage room with dried paint. Lightweight floating debris and dust is released into the room through a vent. Time input, 30, power level, 3, test results. SCP-119 is remotely activated and all testing observed remotely. A pattern of complex air currents reflecting the pattern left by the paint emerges, as individual particles float between stronger and weaker radiation. The radiation did not actually apply any force to the particles, but rather affected their momentum in relation to each other, eventually evolving into a detectable air current pattern. Contents, SCP-442. Time input, 90, power level, 5, test results. SCP-442 continued to keep the correct time during the entire duration, showing 1 minute and 30 seconds of time passing over the course of the experiment. Contents, SCP-289. Time input, 90, power level, 5, test results. None. Permission to carry out experiment denied. Not funny. Do we really need to explain why that is a bad idea? You already know exactly what that would do. 05. Contents, bottle of McAllen 12 year scotch. Time input, 60, power level, 5, test results. During previous tests, researchers had been joking that they should nuke themselves a drink, and one researcher retrieved a bottle of McAllen from his quarters. The 12 year vintage is relatively inexpensive to obtain, but the 25 and 30 year vintages are considered by some to be the best of all scotch commercially available. Upon completion of tests, bottle was effectively a 37 year vintage. Intention of tests had been to consume during subsequent tests, but at this point the intent had been heard by a superior, who allowed the researchers to keep the bottle as long as they waited until off duty to consume it. Subsequent testing determined that the results of this experiment were delicious. 06. Dr. Grant It would seem Dr. Grant is a rather poor whiskey connoisseur, as whiskey does not age outside of the barrel. Your delicious experiment resulted in a 37 year old bottle of 12 year aged scotch. 07. Dr. Daryl I stand by my initial assessment. Delicious. Dr. Grant. 08. SCP-155 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-155 is contained in a heat-treated and radiation-shielded containment chamber at Sightman. Recovered documentation and the reverse engineered compiler for SCP-155 are available for all personnel with sufficient clearance on said site secure file server, but execution of programs on SCP-155 may only be performed with prior permission, from at least two level three senior researchers. As of incident 155-08, experimentation on SCP-155 has been suspended, pending decontamination of SCP-155's former containment chamber and relocation to a new containment chamber. All tasks intended for execution on SCP-155 must now be triple checked to prevent the possibility of non-halting execution. 07. Description SCP-155 is a complex electronic construct consisting of a highly modified Cray CS-6400 supercomputer, a dedicated radio isotope thermoelectric generator and a device that is yet to be fully reverse engineered. SCP-155 was recovered from the basement of Prometheus Labs' primary research laboratory by elements of Mobile Task Force Move-4, Debuggers, following the destruction of the facility and subsequent Foundation intervention. When a program and accompanying data is loaded into SCP-155 and executed, SCP-155 generates a spherical temporal distortion field with a radius of approximately 5 meters. Within this sphere of influence, the passage of time is rapidly accelerated, resulting in a hyperbolic increase in the effective processing power of SCP-155. Execution begins slowly, as the processing hardware of SCP-155 is dated, but its effective processing power approaches infinity after approximately 8 minutes and 14 seconds of execution. From fragments of documentation recovered from Prometheus Labs, SCP-155 was used to perform massive calculation jobs that would have taken months if not years of processing time with conventional computing devices. Despite its capabilities, operation of SCP-155 is highly dangerous, as heat and radiation generated by SCP-155 are trapped and accumulate during operation, forming a sort of event horizon of energy that is released when execution ends. The execution of programs that exceed six minutes results in enough radiation generated that the containment chamber in which SCP-155 is contained must be decontaminated before research personnel may re-enter. Addendum 155-01, Incident 155-08, on- Dr. R. R. entered a flawed program into SCP-155 that resulted in non-halting execution, an infinite loop. After attending researchers and technicians realized the error, an emergency shutdown of SCP-155 was initiated, but it could not be fully stopped until execution had exceeded 8 minutes and 3 seconds. At this point, an intense wave of heat and radiation melted through SCP-155's containment chamber, resulting in 11 casualties and the total destruction of the C-wing of sight. SCP-155 only received minor damage in the incident, but experimentation is suspended while revised safety procedures are under review and replacement parts are procured to repair components damaged by accelerated aging. Item number, SCP-192, Object Class, Safe. Containment procedures have been updated as per successful move operation from Site-A. Special containment procedures. SCP-192 is safely contained within SCP-192-F. SCP-192-F is located in Room 924, a standard foundation grade R secure room, rated for radioactive objects in Site-125A's north wing. Room 924 must always have at least four functioning Geiger counters. An inspection of Room 924's radiation proofing and the Geiger counters must be carried out fortnightly. The housing for SCP-192 must not be breached under any circumstances. Removal of any section of external casing of SCP-192-F must only be carried out during scheduled weekly maintenance by level 2 staff under the supervision of a level 3 assigned to this floor. Any breaches in the casing of SCP-192-F must be reported to Site-125A Facilities Management. Any breaches in the housing of SCP-192 must be treated as a radioactive object containment breach, as defined by Foundation and Site-125A guidelines, and a full evacuation of north wing will be carried out by all staff. Please see Document 192-CU for cleanup and re-containment instructions based on current object analysis. Access to the room containing SCP-192-F for testing purposes can be granted by written request to Site-125A Administration staff, but will require the approval of at least one level 3 assigned to the ninth floor. This member of staff must be present for all testing. Description SCP-192 is a vacuum x-ray tube that forms the primary component of a diagnostic x-ray machine manufactured by with diagnostic use commencing on date undisclosed. This machine was designated SCP-192-1 When an image is produced by a machine with SCP-192 inside, the area examined on the subject will be modified via unknown means to match the image eventually produced. This has the effect of introducing or removing injuries or disease from the subject in accordance with the image. SCP-192 emits a high quantity of alpha and beta radiation, exceeding recommended annual dose limits for Foundation personnel within one minute of constant exposure. These emissions are present even when SCP-192 is not being used and disconnected from any sort of power supply. This is believed to be due to the materials used in the construction of SCP-192's cathode based on current working theories. Maintenance Update 2014 Containment of SCP-192 by SCP-192-1 has shown to not be complete in perfections in the manufacturing process combined with initial testing conducted by Site-A have weakened SCP-192-1's casing. A request for relocation of SCP-192 and a reevaluation has been submitted to Regional Command. Site Update 05-2014 192M 1471607220 was successfully carried out on 05-2014. All Foundation staff at Site-A have been transferred to Site-125A and Site-A has been decommissioned. Site-192F, a Foundation constructed replica of SCP-192-1, was constructed at Site-A and installed at Site-125A prior to the move operation. Actual radiation doses during regular operation of SCP-192-1 were within standard safety margins and this remains the case with SCP-192-F. The presence of SCP-192 was discovered by Dr. a covert Foundation operative tracking SCP-192-1 said Dr. was requested to be present during the initial examinations performed by SCP-192-1 and was the first staff member at SCP-192-1 hospital to witness its effects. Said Dr. notified the Foundation and the other three non-Foundation staff present were successfully given Class A amnestics. A research team was subsequently sent in and the room containing SCP-192-1 was quarantined. From testing of SCP-192, the following outcomes have been noted to occur with no consistent pattern. Any change in a subject appears to occur approximately three seconds after the x-ray image is taken. Image result. Image clear of any disease or injury. Effect. Subject is fully treated with no further issues or complications. Image result. Presence of a trauma-induced fracture injury of considerable displacement. Effect. Imaged bone is fractured to an identical level of displacement. These injuries always appear to have occurred within the last 24 hours even in subjects who had been isolated before the examination. So far, SCP-192 has not produced any images where bones have perforated internal organs or penetrated the subject's skin. Image result. Presence of cancerous cells within the area examined. Effect. Subject will show development of a cancerous growth in this area. These tumors have never exceeded T1N0M01 but in all cases have been malignant. Biopsies in several subjects have shown no differences between cancer caused by SCP-192 and cancer occurring naturally in humans. Success of subsequent treatment has been dependent on the original location of the cancer. Image result. Presence of foreign body located inside the subject. Effect. Foreign body will be found within subject if further surgery is performed. The object appears to be random but is usually a surgical tool for performing operations on the examined area. No departments within Site A have reported any odd disappearances of surgical or other medical equipment. During one test, to determine if SCP-192 could be used as a means of treatment by repeating an examination on an already examined subject, SCP-192 produced a blurry image which had the resulting effect of data expunged, almost instantly killing subject D19203. The personnel operating SCP-192 during this test were referred for immediate psychiatric evaluation. Item Number SCP-435 Object Class Keter Special Containment Procedures SCP-435-1 is to be kept in a secure warehousing facility that constantly provides SCP-435-1 at a minimum of 1000 lux illumination. Illumination must be provided by redundant lamps, operating from at least three parallel and independent power supplies providing generator and battery backups. Tests for integrity of the lighting system shall be conducted on a daily basis. In addition, two mobile units capable of transporting SCP-435-1 shall remain on standby in the event of Contingency 435XK-Alpha. No other special protective procedures are required to examine or test SCP-435-1, but research may only be conducted on SCP-435-1 with written O5 approval. At ground level, a secure perimeter is to be kept for 50 kilometers around SCP-435-2. A no-fly zone of 125 kilometers is to be maintained in the airspace surrounding SCP-435-2. At least two Foundation aircraft and one mobile ground station are to monitor the size and position of SCP-435-2 at all times. Should monitoring detect any growth of SCP-435-2, or any motion of SCP-435-2 relative to SCP-435-1, for a period in excess of 90 seconds, observation teams are to initiate Contingency 435XK-Alpha. No personnel are to approach within 100 meters of SCP-435-2, and Foundation security teams are authorized to take any action to prevent such contact. No research or testing is authorized on SCP-435-2 without explicit O5 direction. Description SCP-435-1 is a Type 3 iron meteorite weighing approximately 0.0 kilograms, showing significant weathering. Spectroscopic and chemical analysis shows a composition over 99% iron, which at normal densities can only account for 0.0% of the measured weight. Age is indeterminate, but analysis of weathering suggests it has been exposed to atmosphere for at least 20 years. SCP-435-2 is an irregularly shaped object that currently has approximate dimensions of 15 meters by 12 meters by 48 meters. SCP-435-2 appears somewhat blurred in the visible spectrum, but computer enhanced imagery in various spectra has shown a complex structure, showing a three-fold symmetry along the longitudinal axis. Extending from the axis are long tube-like structures that share characteristics both with biological organisms, in particular cephalopods of the order Tuthida, and with mathematical models of higher order fractals. These structures show undulating movements even when SCP-435-2 is stationary. SCP-435-2 does not appear to have mass or inertia, it appears only to be visible due to refraction of light passing through it, and because of data expunged, resulting in Cherenkov radiation of varying intensity. Any physical object with mass that comes in contact with SCP-435-2 will suffer an instantaneous change in velocity and direction away from SCP-435-2 without any loss in energy. This is apparently caused by being reflected through a higher order spatial dimension. If the affected mass is in a solid phase, this reflection will cause a change in topology that can result in either an inversion turning inside out, a reflection mirroring of all or part of physical structure, or a data expunged and high levels of gamma radiation. Because of these characteristics, it is currently impossible to directly affect SCP-435-2 with any means currently at the Foundation's disposal. However, it can be moved indirectly by moving SCP-435-1. SCP-435-2 maintains a fixed position relative to SCP-435-1 as long as SCP-435-1 is sufficiently illuminated. Movements of SCP-435-1 have caused SCP-435-2 to move a proportional amount, maintaining a fixed distance and bearing. If SCP-435-1 ceases to be sufficiently illuminated for a period of time exceeding 8.3 moves, the behavior of SCP-435-2 will change. SCP-435-2 will enter an active state and begin random erratic movements orbiting the location of SCP-435-1. Average distance from SCP-435-1 will increase, and the apparent volume of SCP-435-2 will also increase. The rate of increase in both distance and size appears to undergo a geometric progression over time, and neither has been observed to decrease. This behavior will cease once SCP-435-1 is again sufficiently illuminated, at which point, SCP-435-2 will cease motion at whatever location it is at that moment, and remain there fixed in relation to SCP-435-1. The threshold for this effect currently appears to be between 500 and 650 lux, and it appears that this threshold may increase by approximately 0% whenever SCP-435-2 enters an active state. Because of SCP-435-2's interaction with normal matter, an active state is considered extremely dangerous. Passing through large volumes of air at speeds in excess of 500 meters per second, dramatically increases levels of radiation, and, if SCP-435-2 intersects water or any land mass, data expunged. Any active state lasting longer than 90 seconds constitutes a potential XK-class end-of-the-world scenario, and requires the initiation of Contingency 435-XK-Alpha. Addendum 1 Recovery Notes SCP-435 SCP-435-1 was recovered in 1950 at location expunged. While surveying sites for testing, the US Army Corps of Engineers were directed to evacuate the native population from a small island, 85 kilometers from the proposed test site. They met heavy resistance from the local population. After evacuating the island by force, they discovered SCP-435-1 in a clearing, surrounded by several dozen burning torches. At this time, SCP-435-2 was not in an observable location, and the US authorities had no indication of any anomalies. A survey crew was left behind, and according to subsequent interviews, when half the torches burned out, data expunged, as a result of SCP-435-2 moving through data expunged, before illumination restored to SCP-435-1. Foundation then took custody of SCP-435, and the US government provided a cover story, explaining that was the result of a having a higher yield than expected. Number 2. Interview with one of the village elders evacuated by US Army Corps of Engineers in February 1951. Interview, I-435-235. Interviewed, given after referred to as subject, male 75 years of age, former resident of recovery site for SCP-435-1. Dr. Richards. Forward. Interview is part of background research on the history of SCP-435 prior to Foundation custody. Begin log, 112-1960-1430. Dr. Richards. What do you know about SCP-435-1? Subject, the Skyrock. Dr. Richards. Yes, the Skyrock. Subject, there is a story to it. Dr. Richards, tell it to us. Subject, long ago, when the world was only water and sky, there were two brothers. He who made light, and he who made dark. Like all brothers they fought. One time, the light brother insulted the work of the dark brother. The dark one, he does not like this, and begins to destroy all the light in the world. He who made light cannot let this be, so he shoves his brother into a hole that goes outside light and dark, and plugs the hole with a rock. Because he who made dark can only see in the dark, he who made light puts the rock in a sling, and throws it around the sun, so it will always stay lit, and the dark one will never see how to find his way out. Dr. Richards, that rock is SCP-4351. Subject, that is your name for the Skyrock. Dr. Richards, yes, it is. How did it end up? Subject, long after the brothers fought, the dark one's rock fell from the sky. It fell so hard that it broke the earth, and raised the land, and killed the first people who lived only in the sea. On the earth, the sun lit it only half the time, so when darkness came, he who made dark could see to find his way. Even so, he had been lost outside the world for many, many years, so each night he only came a little closer, and each night the rock shook and blood fired his approach. The earth did not like this, so she made the second people to watch over the skyrock, and keep it lit, so that the dark one cannot find his way home. I think you may be the third people. Dr. Richards, so do you have any measure of how long you were keeping it lit? Subject, since before data expunged. Note, geological formations in the area suggest that if this is true, then habitation of f*** predates known human populations in the area by nearly 10,000 years. Dr. Richards, shows subject a photo of SCP-435-2. Do you know what this is? Subject. Y-yes. Dr. Richards, is it he who made dark? Subject. No. It is his shadow. End log. Closing statement. The non-material nature of SCP-435-2 lends credence to the hypothesis that it is a projected effect from an unknown extra-dimensional entity, somehow bound to SCP-435-1. While dumping the rock into SCP-435-1 and making it another universe's problem is tempting, it seems possible that the actual effect would be to only transport SCP-435-1 without transporting the entity it appears to contain. Releasing he who made dark into the material universe. Therefore, contingency 435-XK-Alpha is only a last resort. 05. Item number. SCP-595. Object Class. Euclid. Special Containment Procedures. SCP-595 is currently stored in either enclosed Dry-Doc-2. Virginia, or a Secure Foundation Warehouse District in Philadelphia, depending on SCP-595's current state. Both sites are restricted without level 3 access clearance or higher. Access to SCP-595's interior is restricted to specially selected Class D personnel or mobile task forces, with approval from either site's local administration. Due to the nature of SCP-595's effects, it is imperative that no personnel or sensitive equipment be located within the storage sites after SCP-595 has been dormant for over 2 hours. Normal research activities may resume at one of the two sites after SCP-595's documented effects have subsided. Description. SCP-595 is a cannon-class destroyer escort, D-E-U-S-S, commissioned by the United States Navy in late 1942. It is no different from any other vessel of its class, with the exception of several munitions magazines filled with data expunged of unknown manufacture. These devices cause the vessel and a limited surrounding area to be permeated with abnormally high levels of electromagnetic radiation. Periodically, the devices induce a tremendous spike in the amount of electromagnetic radiation, resulting in effects outlined in Document 595-1. While these spikes are mostly regular in their timing, they can result in severe damage to surrounding equipment and personnel, if safety precautions are not strictly adhered to. The ship is tied to reports of a secret US Navy experiment, Project Philadelphia, purportedly investigating principles of teleportation and possibilities of camouflaging naval vessels by bending light around them, rendering them invisible to the naked eye. The failure of the experiment resulted in the loss of nearly the entire crew. As they were unable to contain it, the US Navy agreed to turn SCP-595 over to the Foundation for further study. Unfortunately, information relating to the experiment has been made public. Cover-up efforts are detailed in an addendum below. Document Number 595-1 SCP-595 Self-Contained Wicked Devices are known to cause varying spikes in radiation levels at regular intervals approximately every three to four hours. When the Foundation acquired SCP-595 from the United States Navy, little was known of the device's side effects, as the Navy had already destroyed almost all relevant documentation. As such, testing commenced in earnest, producing the following known results. The foremost effect of SCP-595's tremendous levels of electromagnetic radiation is that the ship can exist in one of two locations, varying randomly, and requiring two teams of researchers to fully monitor SCP-595. The vessel has been observed, with lower bursts, to appear translucent, and in some cases almost completely transparent to the naked eye, while remaining in place at its current dry dock. Any personnel located on or within a radius of m meters of the vessel while it is undergoing a radiation burst can be subjected to the following effects. Personnel not located aboard the ship, but still within its area of effect, display effects similar to that of SCP-595 itself, sometimes reappearing in place, but sometimes showing up at the other secure facility. There have also been occasions where these personnel have disappeared completely and did not reappear in any Foundation-controlled sector. An incident of this nature occurring in 19-win resulted in the loss of US Navy personnel, prompting the current containment agreement. Persons in physical contact, either on deck or inside, with SCP-595, are subject to the effects listed above, but with markedly increased danger. These properties were discovered when Agent-win was trapped on the ship, faded out of sight, upon returning, was fused to the bulkhead he had been standing near. Inspections showed a perfect molecular bond of tissue to metal, cleanly severing the entire lower portion of the agent's abdomen, which protruded from the opposite side of the bulkhead. When questioned, the agent reported feeling no pain, but was unable to move his lower extremities, and exhibited signs of extreme nausea and early stages of acute radiation poisoning. Just to recover the surviving portion of the agent's body from the ship, ultimately resulted in his death. During the same incident, three-class D personnel had been assigned to clean the engine room. Most of D-12074 was found in a crankshaft, with his legs fused to the ceiling over a meter away from him. D-23574 was fused to a deck plate, and his lower extremities were never located, nor was D-75224, who simply vanished. Other cases have seen personnel molded into solid steel doors while still conscious, or alternatively missing limbs that are incorporated into the structure and other locations of the vessel. Standard operating procedure calls for termination of these victims, as all efforts to sever them from the ship have resulted in death of the affected. As of the late 1950s, numerous books and eyewitness accounts have surfaced in attempts to shed light on the Navy's failed experiment, further complicating containment procedures. Thanks to the efforts of well-placed field agents, the Foundation has managed to mostly discredit these sources, leaving the experiment as a well-known but officially debunked urban legend. All published accounts have been doctored to indicate DE-173, USS Eldridge, as being the testbed for the experiment, thus drawing attention away from SCP-595. All previous records of the experiment have been successfully obtained, or were destroyed by the United States government. Addendum. Attempts to disable the devices located within SCP-595 have all met with failure, as the shutdown procedures documented in Manual-3A require more than the allotted safe margins of time. The use of electromagnetically-shielded remote vehicles is currently being investigated.
