 Item number SCP-3108 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-3108 is to be contained in a standard anomalous object containment vault in Site-64, and is not to be removed except for testing purposes. Proposed tests must be approved in advance by both Dr. Johnson and Dr. Dietz. SCP-3108-1 is not to be loaded into SCP-3108 except during testing, and is to be stored in a separate containment unit. When conducting tests, SCP-3108 is to be handled by Site-64 security staff only. One officer is to hold and fire the object, while a second is to observe the proceedings to minimize risk of accident or foul play. Researchers and D-class are forbidden from firing the object due to safety and security concerns respectively. Due to the accuracy of SCP-3108 being in line with similar products, a maximum 1 meter distance is to be maintained from the intended target to prevent accidents. Under no circumstances SCP-3108 to be used in cross-testing with other SCP objects. Following Ethics Committee ruling, on April 5, 2000 ██████ testing on humanoids has been forbidden. SCP-3108 is a heavily modified Nerf-brand dart gun which demonstrates anomalous transformative properties when paired with SCP-3108-1, a foam dart discovered loaded within SCP-3108 at the time of recovery. SCP-3108 does not demonstrate these properties when firing Nerf darts other than SCP-3108-1, nor does SCP-3108-1 demonstrate these properties when fired from a different Nerf dart gun. The phrase, please nerf, is inscribed on the exterior of SCP-3108-1 in red ink. When SCP-3108 fires SCP-3108-1 into a target, said target will instantaneously be altered in such a way that the result is perceived as worse or inferior by the individual wielding the object. This transformation can range from minor alterations to complete molecular reconstruction. The law of conservation of mass does not affect transformations caused by SCP-3108, and noticeable increases or decreases in mass have occurred often in testing. The resulting objects or organisms do not show any evidence of anomalous traits. Transformations do not represent any objective value scale, but rather stem solely from the opinions of the current holder. The outer shell of SCP-3108 is composed of steel, with bronze inlays used as decoration. While not impervious to physical damage, disassembly of SCP-3108 has proven impossible due to its anomalous nature. All tools attempted to deconstruct the object will be transformed into broken or fake equivalents, precluding examination of the object's interior. This seeming behavior of self-preservation is the only time SCP-3108 has altered objects beyond those hit by SCP-3108-1. Recovery SCP-3108's anomalous properties were discovered during a birthday party for 10-year-old Jacob Pearson ██████, Oregon. It is presumed SCP-3108 was fired at a concrete wall, resulting in the concrete being replaced by loosely stacked stones. The wall promptly collapsed, causing minor injuries to three civilians. Foundation involvement came after the family sued the contractor of their home for the incident. The anomalous effect that caused the transformation was eventually traced to the gun following examination of the incident's location. During post-incident investigation, Jacob's brother, 19-year-old Nathan Pearson, was identified as a member of the GOI Gamers Against Weed. Pearson had previously been known to the Foundation under his online alias Kectagon and had been designated POI-9897 due to its creation of SCP-███ and SCP-███. A subsequent attempt to detain the target failed as POI-9897 had fled the area two days prior to identification as Nathan Pearson. Partial Test Log Target One dartboard made of sysil fibers. Result Dartboard composition was changed to cork. In addition, various small holes in what appears to be a beer stain appeared on the board. Target An 8x11 sheet of printer paper. Result Change composition to single-ply toilet paper. Target One spare coffee mug from the Site-19 cafeteria. Result Coffee mug were replaced by a tea cup composed of ceramic identical to the mugs. Target One United States dollar. Result One United States quarter. Notes Subsequent tests on dollar bills resulted in various outcomes, including dimes, nickels, pennies, foreign currencies, and fake bills from the board game monopoly. It doesn't seem to be an exact formula for these changes. Dr. Deets Target One can of Coca-Cola. Result One can of Pepsi-Cola. Notes Mike, the security officer observing the test, expressed his maya seeing his result. We had him fire the dart to Pepsi-can and it changed right back into Coke. Dr. Deets Target One standard D-class uniform. Result Composition of uniform was changed entirely to cotton. And a tag-reading made in China was added at the neck. Notes While that was hilarious, I think this test is onto something. Does the gun have a sense of humor? Dr. Johnson Target One VHS tape containing the 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Result One DVD of the film's 2005 remake Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Target One male reddish-norvigeous specimen. Result A specimen of erudemics per puris. Notes Interesting logic on this one was the casual link between rats and ants. Dr. Deets Target One female golden retriever. Result One female American short hair with yellow hair. Specimen with unusually large, 15.4 kg and continued to display behavior consistent with a golden retriever rather than a feline. Target D-4281 28-year-old Caucasian male. Result D-4281 Transform into a living specimen of Homo Neanderthalinus. Preface To test the limits of the danger SCP-3108 could pose to a human being, security officer Gardner was instructed to reload and fire the gun repeatedly until ordered to cease. Target D-3578 24-year-old Hispanic male. Result Initially displaying similar results to D-4281, D-3578 proceeded to transform into a variety of different species, including what appeared to be an Australopithecus, an unidentified member of the Gibbon family, and a specimen of Bradipis pygmius. On nine occasions the transformation did not result in a change of species, but instead resulted in visible evidence of maiming, disease, or disability. Following 46 successive uses, testing was ceased as D-3578 had been reduced to a specimen of Lumburgis terrestris too small to be accurately hit by SCP-3108-1. Notes Due to concerns from the Ethics Committee, as well as the possibility of accidental creation of a Homo Ignatus specimen, testing of SCP-3108 on humanoids is suspended effective immediately pending a hearing. Dr. Dietz Addendum On July 19, 2000, ██ Foundation personnel apprehended POI-6897 at an Internet Cafe in Los Angeles, California. POI-6897 was then escorted to Site-64 for interrogation regarding his creations. Interrogation regarding SCP-31-1 away can be found below. Interviewed POI-6897 Nathan Pearce Subject displays low-level reality altering capabilities common among an artist and GAW members. Interviewer Dr. Leo Dietz Mr. Pearce, today I'm going to be asking you some questions about another of your creations, specifically the gun. Get fucked. Now, now, that isn't very helpful, perhaps I should have Agent Green talk to you again instead. Dr. Dietz That, um, that isn't necessary, I'm sure he's a busy guy, but we want to bother him lol. Dr. Dietz Pearce, did you just really say the letters lol out loud? Dr. Dietz Ugh, I'm used to talking on the Internet, sue me, and it's kept it gone to you, so what do you fascist cucks want to know? Dr. Dietz I'm not going to call you by your juvenile screen name, more importantly, why did you create the gun? Dr. Dietz Oh, the nerfing gun, classic, yeah, I thought it'd be funny. Dr. Dietz That's all. Dr. Dietz Look, what do you want me to say, that it's a symbol of guns making the world worse or something? Dr. Dietz Not everything has some grand purpose, man, it's just something I thought of while smoking. I mean, come on, a nerf gun that makes things shitty? It's hilarious. I didn't even think of the obvious pun until later. Eventually I got bored of it and gave it to my bro with a birthday gift. Dr. Dietz Probably should have warned me to be more careful, but live and learn am I right? Dr. Dietz You honestly expect me to believe that. Despite your group supposed to pacifism, the anomalies you all have produced can be lethal. This little joke of yours have changed steel into balsa wood and people into invertebrates. You clearly intended this as a weapon. Dr. Dietz You… you used it on people? Dr. Dietz The interesting history is not relevant to… Dr. Dietz It… it was supposed to be a joke. It was funny. Dr. Dietz I changed Mass Effect 2 into Mass Effect 3. My neighbor's SUV into a smart car. I didn't use it on people. Dr. Dietz You bastards. Why the hell would you do that? I'm not a murderer, damn it. Dr. Dietz Why? Why would you turn a joke into a torture device? Just… just get out of my cell. I'm done talking. Dr. Dietz End log.
