Uncontainable Bouncy Ball

SCP-XXXX

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Personnel spotting SCP-XXXX are welcome to attempt to contain it so long as they don’t have more important tasks to be taking care of at the given moment. The use of Foundation resources in containment attempts of SCP-XXXX must be approved by at least two personnel of security clearance level 3 or higher. If SCP-XXXX is spotted in a location where it can cause damage(eg. In the middle of a hallway, on a piece of machinery, in a doorway, etc.), staff are permitted to move it to another location.

Staff are advised against insulting SCP-XXXX or its anomalous properties. This includes, but is not limited to, taunting SCP-XXXX, calling it names, challenging the limits of its anomalous power, attempting to convince it that it is contained anywhere in our universe, or making obscene gestures to it.

While the object typically behaves on its own accord, it has been known to cooperate with foundation staff if asked politely. Though it may allow researchers to experiment on it to an extent, it should be noted that politely asking SCP-XXXX to “stay contained” results in retaliation from the object.

Staff are strongly advised against attempting to damage or destroy SCP-XXXX. Repeated attempts will result in retaliation from SCP-XXXX. Playing with SCP-XXXX is allowed so long as it does not distract from work.

Should staff notice SCP-XXXX attempting to communicate in morse code, they may record and translate the message if they have time, however given most of SCP-XXXX’s messages are insults, nonsense, or meant to cause confusion, it is advised that these messages be ignored.

Any reported encounters with SCP-XXXX outside of the Foundation are to be investigated, and if necessary, civilians witnessing SCP-XXXX’s anomalous abilities are to be administered class-B amnestics.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a sentient translucent rubber ball with neon orange and white swirl patterns, measuring at approximately 1.25 inches in diameter. The surface of SCP-XXXX is smooth, excluding a rough seam circling its center, and the text “CHINA” imprinted directly below the seam.

SCP-XXXX is capable of displacing itself to or from any location it desires, with (so far)no known limits to the distance it can travel so long as the location it displaces to has enough space for it to occupy. Individuals exposed to SCP-XXXX have noted the objects creates a “Pop!” sound whenever it vanishes or appears.

Any momentum SCP-XXXX has prior to displacement appears be maintained or lost at the object’s preference. SCP-XXXX typically holds onto momentum during displacement so it can strike individuals who have either insulted, challenged, or otherwise offended it.

The object is known to utilize morse code as a means of communication, doing so by repeatedly displacing itself two or three inches above a flat surface and allowing itself to bounce in morse patterns.

While SCP-XXXX typically does not use lethal force on individuals who have offended it, the object has been observed murdering class-D personnel, as well as several individuals outside of the foundation. Victims are killed via SCP-XXXX displacing itself into the left or right ventricle of the victim’s heart, and remaining there until the victim perishes due to heart failure. Background checks of all victims reveal that the SCP has only targeted individuals who have sexually assaulted a child.

Swabs of SCP-XXXX before and after displacement reveal that the object does not bring matter of any kind with it. Whether this is by choice or a limit to its anomalous properties is unclear, so far the object has not been seen bringing anything with it during displacement.

Thus far, SCP-XXXX is seemingly indestructible, as it sustains no damage from any outside influences it uses for gaining momentum, regardless of the amount of force used against it. When researchers attempt damaging the object directly, it displaces out of the way of immediate danger regardless of the speed of the threat. SCP-XXXX’s reaction time appears to be instantaneous.

Addendum XXXX-01: 21/3/20██, 9:45 Field Agent ████ voiced frustrations about “that fucking ball” after stepping on SCP-XXXX and falling. In response, the object vanished, promptly reappearing in front of Agent ████’s face with enough momentum to knock him back onto the ground. Agent ████ had a black eye for two weeks after SCP-XXXX’s attack.¹

Addendum XXXX-02: The following contains a list of messages from SCP-XXXX translated from morse code.

• UR A LOSER
• STUPID
• CONSIDER CLEF²
• THE KITCHEN IS ON FIRE³
• SPOON SPOON SPOON SPOON
• UR MOM IS SCP 001
• GAY
• HIT OR MISS
• RUSSIA WILL BE MINE
• Drugs?

Addendum XXXX-03, Testing Log

Test XXXX 1
Subject	D-5465
Protocol	Is provided a slip of paper with an insult written on it, and instructed to speak the insult to SCP-XXXX.
Results	SCP-XXXX vanishes for 1.25 seconds. Reappears in front of D-5465 with enough momentum to hit subject between the eyes. No injury sustained.

Test XXXX 2
Subject	D-5677
Protocol	D-5677 is provided a slip of paper with a compliment written on it, and instructed to speak the compliment to SCP-XXXX.
Results	SCP-XXXX displaces itself into the palm of the subject’s hand. Object remains in the subject’s possession for approximately twelve hours, fifteen minutes.
Notes	Facility guard escorting D-5677 out of the testing chamber pushed the subject, SCP-XXXX displaced for two seconds before reappearing and hitting the guard in the groin with considerable momentum. Guard collapsed from pain. SCP returned to subject’s hand of its own accord.

Test XXXX 3
Subject	D-5920
Protocol	D-5920 is provided a pocket knife, and instructed to attempt damaging SCP-XXXX. Researchers are to encourage violent behavior in subject to observe anomalous object’s behavior when under repeated attempts of assault.
Results	After D-5920’s first three failed attempts to damage it, SCP-XXXX engages in violent behavior, displacing and reappearing in the room multiple times, each reappearance with enough momentum to hit the subject in random locations on the body. After attacking D-5920 twenty times, SCP-XXXX displaces and is not seen within the room. D-5920 begins violently coughing and choking, claiming the object was inside of his lungs. Guards are instructed to stand by as D-5920 collapses to his knees, banging on his chest to attempt removing the foreign object. After fifty-five seconds, SCP-XXXX appears on the table in the testing chamber, and D-5920 stops choking, proceeding to catch his breath.

Test XXXX 4
Subject	D-2234
Protocol	D-2234 is provided a slip of paper with the sentence “You are contained as long as you’re on Earth.” written on it and instructed to read it aloud to SCP-XXXX.
Results	SCP-XXXX disappears from the room for one minute, thirty seconds. It reappears with considerable momentum, knocking D-2234 to the ground with a blow to the head.
Notes	The Foundation was alerted later that day as a NASA satellite camera had captured footage of SCP-XXXX appearing before it for one minute and twenty seconds before it vanished. The time of the object’s appearance before the satellite matches the exact time it vanished during the experiment with D-2234.

Addendum XXXX-04: 10/6/20██, 12:22 Dr. ████ encountered SCP-XXXX in the break room of Site █, and said to it “You know, you’re technically contained within this reality.” SCP-XXXX disappeared for 2.5 seconds, reappearing to smack Dr.████’s nose. Around the same time, a drone taking footage of SCP-3008 was hit by a small object. It was not damaged, and remained on course, but reviewing the footage reveals the object to have been SCP-XXXX.

Footnotes

1. Mobile Task Force unit reported hearing two “Pop” sounds as a small object hit their vehicle at roughly the same time as Agent ████’s incident. Dashboard camera footage reveals the object to have been SCP-XXXX.

2. SCP-XXXX was questioned regarding this message, it replied "CONSIDER THE THING HE WEARS". This led to an interrogation lasting nearly an hour, with SCP-XXXX providing vague answers before it was finally discovered that "the thing he wears" that SCP-XXXX wants staff to consider is Dr. Clef's Hawaiian shirt. Dr. Clef was not wearing a Hawaiian shirt that day.

3. Nothing was on fire, but researchers were concerned.
