Location where SCP-4156 was recovered from.

Item # 4156

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4156 is to be kept within a Metal Container with dimensions of 2m x 2m x 2m. The room the container is located in must be monitored at all times. As well as being guarded by senior security staff. The Site Director has stated that there be no tests nor physical interaction with SCP-4156 until further notice. Researchers are now allowed to conduct test's and physical experiments with SCP-4156, but must get permission from level 4 staff assigned to it before starting.

Description: SCP-4156 is an antique globe of the earth that sits on a granite base. The globe is negative in color along with the normal Continents and land masses being drastically different from the average map (For example America is split into what looks like destroyed and separate masses of land, along with Japan being located where the Continent of Australia generally would be found). The axis bar holding the globe is made of brass and has characters from an unidentified language engraved into the side. Although the language has still not been identified it has close similarities to a few texts and languages such as The Vinca Symbols, Etruscan, and Latin. A small portion of the language can be translated, and it reads in English: "Havoc marches onward". SCP-4156 is 45 centimeters tall.

SCP-4156 was recovered by Agent Fox on April 1st, 1982 in an abandoned cabin, deep in the woods of the Northern Region of Wisconsin. This globe is completely harmless when untouched and unused. However, when someone is thinking about an area on the globe and indicates where it is by any form of direct physical contact with the globe, that location and anywhere within a 200-kilometer radius then becomes what is identified as SCP-4156-A. SCP-4156-A is the area that SCP-4156 effects.

People within SCP-4156-A's area become very agitated and violent, killing each other regardless of personal affiliation, and destroying anything they come across. The animals within this area are no exception to this either, as even they become violent and unpredictable. This is thought to be caused by the low hertz frequencies that manifest inside SCP-4156-A (refer to Test Log 2 for details). Additionally, even after leaving SCP-4156-A the People or Animals are still just as hostile as they were when they were inside the mentioned area. The globe has received the nickname of "The Chaos Globe" due to the effect it has on people and animals.

Test Log 4156-1
Procedure: Senior [Researchers] Davids and Melius took SCP-4156 out of containment and into Anomaly Testing Room A-3. Coordinates of Remote Testing Facility Delta¹ were noted and converted to geographical location VIA map. Location on the map was found on SCP-4156's surface, and Davids then proceeded to touch the center of the indicated area. 10 D-Class Subjects were previously placed inside the designated testing area, and all other facility personnel were evacuated leaving behind only monitoring equipment. D-Class Subjects were monitored thoroughly using the equipment and didn't start to show signs of aggression until 28 hours 31 minutes and 6 seconds after testing had begun. Once the very first sign of aggression was shown, all the D-Class began punching, biting and ripping each-other apart until there was only a single one left. The last remaining D-Class attempted to escape the testing area and successfully did so. Security measures were activated. Subject terminated VIA tesla gate. End of test.

Result of Test 4156-1: The test results show that the effective range of SCP-4156-A is a minimum of 3 1/2 kilometers vertically.

Test Log 4156-2
Procedure: Senior [Researchers] Davids and Melius took SCP-4156 out of containment and Into Anomaly Testing Room A-2². Spectrum Monitoring Equipment was placed in a 5-kilometer radius around Remote Testing Facility Epsilon³, the Facility was evacuated of any and all personnel before beginning testing. Remote Testing Facility Epsilon's Coordinates were noted and translated to Geographical Location VIA map. Geographical Location was found on SCP-4156's surface. Melius then proceeded to touch the center of the indicated area, beginning testing. The Monitoring Equipment inside Anomaly Testing Room A-2 picked up no frequencies being emitted from SCP-4156 directly, however, the Equipment that was Monitoring the center of SCP-4156-A picked up a large number of low hertz frequencies being emitted from said center. It's unclear exactly how these frequencies would anger animals or humans exposed to it, but it's almost certain this is the cause. End of Test

Results of Test 4156-2: It was discovered that a large number of low hertz frequencies began to manifest seemingly out of thin air from the center of SCP-4156-A and spread outward in every direction. It is unclear how exactly these frequencies could cause this level of anger in people or animals, however, it is believed to be linked to Low-Frequency Intrusion.

Addendum 4156-1: It should be noted that Agent Fox was off duty at the time of the recovery, and was exploring this area of his own accord. He found SCP-4156 in a deserted cabin. SCP-4156 was found in the rear right side on a desk. Agent Fox says he was looking at different location's on SCP-4156's surface and had touched 3 separate location's and immediately after doing so explains he had gotten a strange chill and "had a feeling something terrible had just occured", but didn't know what precisely it was. The day after, Agent Fox was back on duty and had been assigned to monitor anomalous activity. There were multiple reports coming in saying that in the three location's he pointed at riots began to break out, violence started to spread, and hundreds had already been killed and it seemed to start out of thin air. It was at this time that Agent Fox says he knew what happened, and went back to the cabin to recover SCP-4156.

Addendum 4156-2: After an investigation into who owned the section of land SCP-4156 was recovered from it was found that a man named William Retch lived there from 1895-1954. He was an archaeologist who had gone on many expeditions researching Asian and Middle Eastern history. There was one expedition that caught the attention of the Agents involved in the investigation which was an excavation of unnamed ruins in India. In the excavation notes, it states that a globe matching the description of SCP-4156 was found in the ruins and that William took it home as a souvenir from the expedition.

Footnotes

1. Remote Testing Facility Delta is an underground bunker-style facility, used in testing the Vertical effective range of an SCP

2. Anomaly Testing Room A-2, is fitted with Wide Spectrum Frequency Scanners, to determine if an SCP emits any frequencies.

3. Remote Testing Facility Epsilon is a surface affect testing facility, which is used to monitor any and all anomalous effects that manifest from the SCP being tested.
