 Item ██ SCP-989 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-989 is to be stored in Secure Locker ██ in Site-22 until further notice. Secure Locker ██ is to contain electronic scale which is to report the current weight of the object at all times. Any change in the way before testing and after testing that is plus or minus one gram beyond test material is removed as a reporter immediately and containment breach protocol should be enacted. Level-2 clearance is required for research involving SCP-989 but has written permission from a Level-3 staff member. Description SCP-989 is a compound of C-12 H-22-011, sucrose, interlaced with a substance with the chemical formula H-7-X-E-2-04-C-8. The method by which this molecule was created is currently unknown as the current principle of the chemistry disagree with its composition and structure. Research is ongoing. SCP-989 is within an ornate silver shaker with the logo for Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ingrate on the bottom, hereafter referred to as SCP-989-2. There are no visible seams in the shaker, and as such there is no way known at the moment to refill SCP-989-2, though testing at this point has shown no measurable change in weight of the object, suggesting that the substance may replenish itself. This replenishing effect is only observed to occur if the object is left standing for more than two hours without movement. Whether this is a property of SCP-989 or SCP-989-2 is unknown at this time, but it is hypothesized that the interaction of the second compound with the materials of SCP-989-2 creates its effect. When SCP-989 is elevated and released, SCP-989 enters suspension within the air. The crystals of SCP-989 surround whoever threw SCP-989 into the air, and remain there for precisely seven minutes, eighteen seconds. This has shown no adverse effect on the thrower so far, as SCP-989 will not come within two millimeters of the thrower, even if they walk through the cloud of SCP-989. If any other living being enters the cloud of SCP-989, however, SCP-989 will surround the subject and force its way into the mucous membrane of the subject, causing severe lacerations and coating the area with crystalline formations akin to what is colloquially known as rock candy. This is uniformly non-fatal, however, and leaves the subject blind, deaf with moderate difficulty breathing and in severe pain. Attempts to remove the crystalline growth have proven unsuccessful thus far. After exiting suspension with the air, SCP-989 will deposit on any horizontal surfaces until thrown again, worrying that it will return to being in suspension. This effect can only occur if SCP-989 is dry, as the solution to SCP-989 water did not show any anomalous properties. SCP-989 was recovered from the home of ████ in ████, Wales, after several missing persons' cases were connected to ████, and a possible link to Marshal Carter in Dark was confirmed. Also recovered were letter and receipt from Marshal Carter in Dark Limited for the amount of ████ to date, no other samples of SCP-989 have been recovered. Addendum 1, the following is from a letter recovered from the home of ████ to a mister ████. We thank you for the purchase of this fine item. I hope you will find it to your liking, though I'm sure your dinner guests will certainly find it interesting. If we can be of assistance setting up any source swore way for you, we of course would be more than willing to assist. We look forward to continued business with you and trust that you have taken steps to avoid the attention of a certain group as we advised. Sincerely, Mr. Marshal Carter in Dark.
