 Item number SCP-914 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures Only personnel who submit a formal request and receive approval from Site Command may operate 914. SCP-914s be kept in Research Cell 109b with two guard personnel in duty at all times. Many researchers entering 109b are to be accompanied by at least one guard for the entirety of testing. A full list of tests to be carried out must be given to all guard personnel in duty. Any deviation from this list will result in termination of testing, forcible removal of personnel from 109b, and formal discipline at Site Command's discretion. Warning! At this time, no testing of biological matter is allowed. Refer to Document 109b-117. Applying to rough setting to explosive materials is not advised. Description SCP-914, the large clockwork device, weighing several tons in covering an area of 18 square meters, consisting of screwdrives, belts, pulleys, gears, springs, and other clockwork. It is incredibly complex, consisting of over eight million moving parts comprised mostly of tin and copper, with some wooden and cloth items observed. Observation and probing have showed no electronic assemblies of any form of power other than the mainspring under the selection panel. Two large booths, 3m x 2.1m x 2.1m, 10ft x 7ft x 7ft, are connected via copper tubes to the main body of SCP-914, labeled intake and output. Between them is a copper panel with a large knob with a small arrow attached. The words rough, coarse, 1-1 ratio, fine, and very fine are positioned at points around the knob. Below the knob is a large key that winds the mainspring. When an object is placed in the intake booth, a door slides shut and a small bell sounds. If the knob is turned to any position and the key wound up, SCP-914 will refine the object in the booth. No energy is lost in the process, and the object appears to be in stasis until the output booth door is opened. The intense observation and testing have not shown how SCP-914 accomplishes this, and no test object has ever been observed inside SCP-914 during the refining process. The process takes between 5 and 10 minutes, depending on the size of the object being refined.

Subject expired several hours later, dissolving into blue ash and blinding nearby research team. Biological testing with SCP-914 discontinued Note, because of the nature of this SCP, a wide range of test data would be helpful. Dr. Gears has ordered that any researcher can have access for non-biological testing if they themselves are, or they are supervised by a Level 3 researcher. All testing is to be recorded in File No. 914-E, Experiment Log 914. Biological testing will continue only with prior clearance by O5 command. As long as you want to try something mundane that isn't alive, feel free to help accumulate data.

Food Storage Kitchen A room used for the storage and processing of food. Food and water is shipped daily to Facility-23 and stored in this room due to its remote location. The food is then cooked and served to on-site personnel. Maintenance Personnel Offices Office rooms for maintenance personnel such as security staff and janitorial staff. Break Room Used by staff as a place to rest while not working. Due to an incident on October 4, 2019, the break room is slightly larger on the inside.

Research Personnel Offices Office rooms for Research Personnel Senior Researchers' Offices are located in the yellow-green area. Multi-Purpose Rooms Rooms used for meetings, presentations, and conferences. Administrative Personnel Offices Office rooms for Administrative Personnel Research Cell 109B Room Containing SCP-914 The floor is slightly elevated and plated with steel in order to ground SCP-914 for protection against damage caused by static electricity. Incinerator A room containing the incinerator used for the destruction of classified information. The incinerator is occasionally used for the destruction of items produced by SCP-914. The room also functions as a waste management center.

Research Cell 109A A room used for the storage of items produced by SCP-914 Preliminary Testing Room A laboratory room used for preliminary testing of anomalous products. The properties and effects of anomalous products are documented using various methods, and objects of research interest are occasionally sent to the main facility for further examination. D-Class Personnel Residence A section of the facility for the residents of D-Class Personnel. Individual rooms and structures are not shown. Additional Information Site-19 Facility-23, located in ████, is the facility built specifically to contain SCP-914 and its anomalous products. It is part of the larger Site-19 administration. Facility-23 was originally built in 1988 as an isolated containment facility for multiple large anomalous items. During Anomalous Item A, reclassification of SCP-914 in 2008, it was moved into Facility-23 and the facility was converted into a research establishment for the purpose of SCP-914 research. Dr. Charles Gears, former Director of Euclid Level Containment at Site-19, was transferred to the Facility-23 to oversee its research. Testing of SCP-914 began on September 9 of that year. In April 2017, Facility-23 was expanded and partly rebuilt to accommodate the increasing number of researchers, and a large amount of testing products accumulated over the years. Dr. Arthur Hackett and Dr. Lucius Veritas were transferred to Facility-23 to replace Dr. Charles Gears, as Director of Administration and Research respectively. As of December 3, 2022, Facility-23 is conducted over ████ individual tests on SCP-914. A log of all tests that have been conducted can be accessed below.
