SCP-5000: Lock and Key. Author: AriB313

Item #: SCP-5038
Object Class: Safe

Containment Procedures: Must be kept in a steel room, must be large enough to fit three people. The steel slows down the dissolving process. It should also be on a smooth quartz table as it slows down the dissolving process as well. Class D Personnel may enter the room but cannot touch it. Class C and Class B Personnel may touch it but must be checked for parasites. SCP-5038-1 creates a sap like substance that can and will dissolve everything after a few weeks. SCP-5038-2 is a key that unlocks SCP-5038-1. Class D Personnel will go in and clean it, 3 and only 3 may be in the room at a time with Class B Personnel watching from the research room that leads into SCP-5038's cell. 1 person will be there to clean while the others will watch it to make sure SCP-5038-2 does not unlock SCP-5038-1, if SCP-5038-1 is unlocked it must be locked again or it will fill the room with the sap like substance and if the room is filled it will make a stronger sap like substance that cannot be cleaned at all and will cause an XK end of the world scenario. If any Class D personnel touch SCP-5038-1, except for locking it when it is unlocked, they will be terminated, if any Class C or Class B personnel leave the room with SCP-5000 they will also be terminated.

Description: SCP-5000 looks like a lock and key but it is able to move when unlocked. When left alone SCP-5000-1 is a lock that can make a sap like substance that can dissolve anything if not cleaned. SCP-5000-2 is a key that has anomalous abilities, it can move to SCP-5000-1 and unlock it to make SCP-5000-1 create its stronger sap like substance. If any personnel unlock SCP-5000-1 using any key but SCP-5000-2 will cause the personnel to walk through an invisible door and disappear, if a camera is put on the subject and is recording, then [DATA EXPUNGED] will be seen. The same happens if SCP-5000-2 is used on a different lock. SCP-5000 also has inter-galactic parasites that are as small as the germs on earth. The parasites if left untreated will [DATA EXPUNGED]

WARNING: THIS IS FOR SCP PERSONNEL TO READ ONLY! NON-PERSONNEL READERS WILL HAVE A HEART ATTACK!

The SCP-5000 Disaster: "We had a report of a possible SCP in ████████, █████. We found it on ██/██/19██. SCP-5000 was on a roof in the area. Before the report there were many disasters in that area. It was rusted when we found it, there was also an unrecognizable language in-scripted in the lock. We had a subject we call SCP-5000 Subject-1 use a random key we found on SCP-5000-1 and he walked through an invisible door and disappeared, we put a camera on him before the test and we saw [DATA EXPUNGED]. The same happened when we used a different lock on SCP-5000-2. We decided to make it a safe object, when it could move on its own and dissolved a layer of the steel cage it was in, but it was easy to clean, we realized it could end the world if we do not clean the cage once every 1 to 2 weeks. A few weeks after the losses of personnel we got a call from the satellite and we heard alien voices on the satellite, then we heard what sounded like blasters, then the line was cut off, we instantly went up there to see what was going on, we found nothing. We realized it must have been a treasure of those aliens. We know those were the last words of the aliens." - Agent Josh
