 Item number SCP-2483 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-2483 is temporarily located in Isolation Zone 3H and Site 24's External Environmental Lab, or EEL. Under Order from O5 Command, no Foundation personnel are currently authorized across the boundaries of the zone until safe transport procedures can be finalized. Any personnel found violating this order face serious repercussions, given the space it needs. Description SCP-2483 is a playground swing set, made only of metal and fitted with four plastic swings, five of which are broken. The object is in brand new condition with considerable rusting marring the metal in numerous places. Bird excrement occasionally materializes and dematerializes on SCP-2483's pristine surface. SCP-2483 constantly generates a reality-distorting effect, which can alter its size and number of swings, as well as any audio, video, photographic, or written documentation containing information about the object. Events for SCP-2483's physical form changes can result in damage to its environment or even living creatures. The effects on SCP-2483's documentation vary and depend on the medium, ranging from slight visual distortion to alteration of both electronic and physical text. SCP-2483 also has a strong psychological effect on those in its vicinity, which usually results in an affected person becoming increasingly concerned with SCP-2483's emotional well-being. Footnote 1, hypothesized to be anywhere from 12 to 26 meters in diameter. The exact nature of this secondary effect is not currently understood, though it has consistently dissipated if exposure to SCP-2483 desists for longer than 48 hours. Previously affected persons will lose all knowledge of SCP-2483 until they come within the radius of its psychological effect again or are exposed to any form of its documentation. Amnestics have no effect on persons affected by SCP-2483 because one day no one will remember it. SCP-2483 Incident Log May 12th First anomalous effects of SCP-2483 experienced by the Acquisition Team at the time of the object's recovery. Agent Nyholm was injured when part of SCP-2483 materialized inside him, which he and the other team members could not explain. Agent Nyholm's injury was treatable, but resulted in the loss of his left, right arm. This is not helping it. May 17th D-137521 attempted to use the only unbroken swing on SCP-2483. I think SCP-2483 gave him an underduck. He'll never come down. Footnote 2 Running under a person as you push them on a swing. May 19th Researcher Alstrup attempted to clean SCP-2483 in preparation for testing. He cried so much, and there was nothing to be done. May 28th SCP-2483 shook violently for approximately 14 minutes before uprooting itself from the ground and falling over. Four members of testing staff attempted to relocate SCP-2483 to another area of the eel, and I was the one who had to tell their families what happened. You're self-destructing and you're hurting the ones that care about you. It just wants to disappear. June 24th Use of an emotional discordance unit, EMDU, for experimental testing on SCP-2483 has been approved. Footnote 3 Experimental device used to quell severe emotional distress, usually in reality benders. It doesn't want to feel like this anymore. It doesn't want to depend on us. It doesn't want to be changed. June 28th EMDU has deployed the Site-24's eel and activated within 1.5 meters of SCP-2483. The object did not show any visible reaction. SCP-2483 will be monitored for further incidents to document the effects, if any, the EMDU has on it. This won't work forever. November 31st First notable incident recorded since EMDU was deployed for daily use on SCP-2483. D-137521 materialized on one of the object's wings while testing staff was activating the EMDU at its scheduled time, and dematerialized 5 seconds later. Staff reported that D-137521 looked so happy and frightened and miserable. December 6th EMDU was damaged when SCP-2483 became unstable and I don't understand how this happened. How many swings did it really have? I think it has 10, but I wrote earlier that it had 8. Is SCP-2483 getting bigger? It needs to leave. It needs to leave everything behind. It is tired of trying to be what everyone wants it to be. December 11th SCP-2483 only has one swing and it is broken. Like broken light. Why does it feel like this? December 25th Testing staff involved in the incident on May 28th appeared unharmed within 6 meters of SCP-2483. This is all it can give. January 14th SCP-2483 shook violently for nearly 24 hours. All 7 of its swings appear to be broken now. Testing has been suspended as we cannot keep doing this, SCP-2483. January 29th SCP-2483 has been moved to isolation zone E-3 in lieu of moving it off-site. It's for the best. It doesn't want to be remembered. It is broken, and you cannot fix it. You can only break yourself upon it.
