Item #: SCP-4956
Object class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be stored in a standard locked automobile storage facility on Site-77. Due to the ethical implications, testing SCP-4956's anomalous properties is forbidden by the Administrator of Site-77. Gru "P" documentation that was acquired along with SCP-4956 as well as corroborating witness reports of former Gru "P" officers is considered sufficient to establish basic facts regaring SCP-4956.

History: Gru "P" documentation states that SCP-4956 had been in its possession since at least 198X, though how it acquired SCP-4956 is unknown. The Foundation learned about SCP-4956's existence through Agent Valeriya Bolshakova.

SCP-4956 was discovered in an abandoned Gru "P" warehouse in on January, 27, 1997, 17km outside of Samara, Russian Federation during a recovery mission headed by Agents Bolshakova and Lipman, both formerly Gru "P" officers who had defected to the Foundation following [REDACTED] and the Soviet Union's collapse in 1992. This mission was part of Operation Sickle Cell, led by Mobile Task Force Rho-3 (“Red-Headed Stepchildren”), specialized in the recovery of Gru “P” anomalies.

Notably, SCP-4956's driver seat contained the remains of Anatoly Feodorovitch Myschkin, a car mechanic who had been reported as missing since September 1994 from the city of Samara. This is likely to have discouraged further attempts by looters, vagrants or passers-by from attempting to steal or use SCP-4956.

Description: The exterior of SCP-4956 looks like a non-anomalous VAZ automobile of the 2105 line as produced in the Soviet Union and its successor states from the early 1980s. It appears to be in good condition for a model of its age and make, with the exception that its hood appears to be welded shut through inexplicable means and that its bodywork resists all attempts at manipulation, save for its doors and trunk, which open as would be expected of a non-anomalous car. For all intents and purposes, the entirety of SCP-4956 appears to be indestructible.

While direct manipulation is impossible, SCP-4956 is slightly radio-active, and through measuring its rate of radioactive decay, it has been established SCP-4956 was likely constructed between the 10th and 12th century CE. It is currently not understood how this has resulted in its current state or if it has even always looked this way.

In addition, SCP-4956 features no visible entrance to a gasoline tank, and scans indicate its interior is composed of a solid, opaque and undifferentiated mass. Of note is that in lieu of a regular chassis number, SCP-4956's chassis contains an inscription in Cyrillic script in a language identified as 11th century Late Daevite.

SCP-4956 chassis inscription:

"Claim me by right of blood and deed."

Late Daevite also appears on SCP-4956's dashboard and is used to indicate the vehicle's speed, rpm and fuel left on its analog dials. Except this, SCP-4956's dashboard is identical to that of a VAZ-2105 automobile of the early 1980s.

SCP-4956's secondary anomalous effect manifests if a human being sits in its driver's seat. If said occupant has never taken a human life or [REDACTED], it expires instantly.

SCP-4956's primary anomalous effect occurs when its driver seat is occupied by a human being who has taken at least one human life by force. This occupant becomes an instance of SCP-4956-1 and will be able to drive SCP-4956 through as though it were a regular stick-shift engine car consistent with VAZ-2105 models manufactured in the early 1980s, albeit without requiring a car key (SCP-4951-1 can start SCP-4956 by holding down the gas pedal).

While driving SCP-4956 and when a human being other than SCP-4956-1 comes within visible range, SCP-4956-1 will experience a compulsion to drive SCP-4956 towards them as fast as possible. These beings become instances of SCP-4956-2. Collisions between SCP-4956 and SCP-4956-2 don't cause damage to SCP-4956, although the physical shocks of such hits will be felt by SCP-4956-1 and may cause it physical (and psychological) harm the way a non-anomalous collision with a living being would.

Most baseline human beings expire almost instantly on impact with SCP-4956 due to blunt force trauma. If SCP-4956-2 is still alive after this impact, SCP-4956-1 will make a new attempt at collision and will repeat this process until SCP-4956-2 is terminated, or until SCP-4956 can inflict nu further damage. How SCP-4956 determines this is unknown.

SCP-4956's primary anomalous effect ceases when SCP-4956-1 stops driving with no living animal or human being in sight, or when collision effects cause SCP-4956-1 to lose consciousness.


Addendum (selected correspondences from the Gru “P” dossier as provided by members of Mobile Task Force Rho-4):

Dear comrade Major Gatoradze,

It has come to our attention that you have in your possession a curious sort of war machine that could be very useful to us in our ongoing efforts to restore order to the people in Afghanistan. As you know, our efforts there are being seriously hampered by an insurgency in difficult to access, mountainous terrain where almost no ordinary citizens live. This should offset the indscriminatory nature of your machine’s effects and cause a serious decrease in weapon and ammunition expenses.

Yours truly,

Colonel I.V. Shevchenko

Dear comrade Colonel,

As much as I would like to honor your request, I cannot in good conscience grant it. I refer you to reports [REDACTED], which demonstrated that using this car in war efforts is futile at best and disastrous for the safety and well-being of our own troops at worst.

Respectfully,

Major Y.K. Gatoradze

Dear comrade Major Gatoradze,

You are in no position to decline my request. A second refusal of my direct order will result in severe disciplinary actions. My men are coming on [REDACTED]. Declining to aid our nation in times of great need is tantamount to treason, but of course I should have expected such from the son of a Georgian bourgeois profiteer such as yourself.

Colonel I.V. Shevchenko


Addendum 2:

On March 7, 1989, Colonel Igor Vladimirovitch Shevchenko was demoted and reassigned to a small outpost near Magadan to do menial tasks, after several incidents in the Afghanistan campaign that resulted in the casualties of 73 Soviet soldiers, 26 Afghan citizens and 1 Afghan insurgent.
