Description: SCP-9148 appears to be an Ancient Egyptian cup made exclusively of dirt, dust, and sand. There appears to be a heat signature always on the cup but this has been neither confirmed nor denied by any staff due to not being able to make contact but most seem to agree it is supernatural in origin. SCP-9146 has supernatural effects on humans once contact has been made. (See Addendum-2A). SCP-9146 Appeared to have had a spike of high temperatures as the lights around the facility had begun to flicker at least a mile away from the cell. (See Addendum-23B). Due to the cup's hardening feature it has been feared to spread from person to person when the statue makes contact with another person like a [REDACTED]. (See Incident-1)
Addendum-23B: Lights have begun to flicker in the Medical Ward aswell as the hallways and Containment Cells. We are investigating this problem and finding what the cause of this is.
Addendum-2A: Subject-D-1272 enters the Containment Chamber. We rise the Glass Box and urge him to make contact with the cup. Subject makes contact with the cup. An hour later we have obvious skin irritation. 2 hours since contact was made, hands have hardened in place with dirt obviously replacing everything that the hand once had. 3 hours since contact, subject is fully hardened in a dirt statue material. 4 hours since contact, statue begins to resume movement in a zombie like fashion. 4 1/2 hours since contact, subject has been fully reanimated in a statue form and was taken away for further study.
Incident-1 Hardened statue escapes study ward attacking a scientist while in motion. Scientist has turned into a hardened statue. both statues have been broken after walking into a trap.
