 SCP-1417 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-1417-1 and SCP-1417-2 are to be contained in a standard safe-class holding locker when not in use. Any personnel wishing to make use of the objects for testing purposes must submit a summarized testing outline formed to Dr. Chapman for approval. Under no circumstances are SCP-1417-1 or SCP-1417-2 to be taken off-site or used without permission. Any personnel found in violation of this protocol will be reprimanded. Description SCP-1417 is a collective designation for two related objects possessing anomalous properties. SCP-1417-1 appears to be an ordinary banana, Musa Akumonata, of the Cavendish variety which is partially peeled at one end. Biological analysis reveals that SCP-1417-1 does not differ from an ordinary banana in any way, with its skin and exposed flesh consistent with biological norms. SCP-1417-1's anomalous properties include the inability to continue peeling it, when an effort is made to peel it, the peel is unable to be moved, with testers reporting an intense resistance on the part of the skin. Robotic attempts at peeling have also met with similar results, with pressure increasing equal to the resistance applied in peeling. SCP-1417-1 also does not suffer from standard biological decomposition. Since its acquisition by the Foundation in 2012, the object has not undergone any form of degradation, regardless of location. SCP-1417-2 consists of two pieces of laminated printer paper, 8.5 cm x 11 cm in size, accompanied by a single plastic chip. The second page contains a chart of several options with accompanying blank boxes. These properties manifest when the chip is placed on one of the boxes. The test of the page is as follows. Swiss Army Banana, Registered Owner, Flare Gun, Single Shot, Tire Iron, Corkscrew, Pocket Knife, Compass, Only Points North, Rest When the plastic chip is placed on any of the blank boxes, SCP-1417-1 will take on the properties of the object selected. The banana itself will not change or displace any new visual qualities, but will instead function as the selected object. For example, placing the chip onto the pocket knife box causes SCP-1417-1's peeled visible end to become as sharp as a standard stainless steel quality knife, just as selecting the compass box will cause SCP-1417-1 to point its peeled end north regardless of the direction the object and or owner is facing. When the chip is placed into the rest box, SCP-1417-1 will return to an inert state and appear as normal. If SCP-1417-1 is not placed into the rest position approximately once every 12 hours, SCP-1417-1 will develop a limp appearance and begin to turn green, becoming non-functional until the rest option is selected. It is also important to note that the plastic chip when placed upon SCP-1417-2 cannot be removed by any means other than the owner physically removing it with his or her hand. The paper is apparently indestructible with ripping, burning, and compacting attempts proven to have little to no effect. Alternatively, if an individual signs his or her name in the registered owner text box, SCP-1417-1 will respond to voice commands from the individual so far as they match the commands found in SCP-1417-2. For example, saying or yelling rest while in the presence of SCP-1417-1 will cause the item to enter in the rest mode, further testing is in progress. SCP-1417-1 was discovered on ██-2012 after police responded to a hostage taking incident in the town of ██████, Pennsylvania. First responders found a suspect, a man with a known history of mental illness, holding a neighbor hostage with what appeared to be a banana. After negotiation with the suspect failed, police attempted a raid on the home only the witness of suspect fatally slashed his victim with the banana, causing death due to a severed jugular vein. Some personnel embedded within the coroner's office noted the unusual circumstances of the incident and retrieved SCP-1417-1 and SCP-1417-2 from the home of the suspect, with amnesiacs administered to witnesses as necessary. Suspect ██████ retrieved from incarceration and recruited in the Foundation program as ██-23952.
