See Addendum-1

Item #: SCP-008-1

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-008-1 is to be contained in a yellow 600D polyester pencil case. If SCP-008-1 is left outside of its containment chamber, personnel handling SCP-008-1 become clumsy and prone to releasing SCP-008.

Under all accounts DO NOT LET SCP-008-1 TOUCH THE FLOOR! If SCP-008-1 makes contact with the floor, it could present a serious hazard (see Addendum-2).

Description: SCP-008-1 is a rugged 185mm * 30mm OfficeMax™ amalgamation of 2 gluesticks both containing a liquidized instance of SCP-008. It seems that the two gluesticks have been combined together through the lid of each pair. Separation of these gluesticks is strictly prohibited because of SCP-008-1's airborne transmission.

The exterior of SCP-008-1 is covered in approximately 2 to 3 layers of science worksheets, refill paper, and crude drawings of what seems to be a humanoid figure with ragged hair. These pages are stuck on to the gluestick by an unknown method. On the side of the gluestick is written the designated SCP number allocated to the gluestick pictured in the above photograph. This designation is written using what looks to be red and blue ink — the same ink used in the drawing of the humanoid creature. It should be regarded that no personnel of staff admit to writing this designation, it has seemed to be materialized on the gluestick between 2 to █ days after initial containment.

Whenever SCP-008-1 is dropped on a surface SCP-008-1 deems as a 'ground', SCP-008-1 will immediately launch itself onto the nearest paper document (often worksheets) after the first human contact. SCP-008-1's philosophy is unknown. It should be noted, however, that whenever SCP-008 touches the ground, it will crash through any inanimate object standing in the way, clocking in at a speed relative to the distance of the nearest paper document.

Testing has discovered that SCP-008-1 will always take between 4 and 5 seconds before violently crashing into the nearest document after travelling in a directly straight vector. Meaning that if the nearest document is potentially kilometres away, SCP-008-1 could travel in speeds faster than 343m/s (the speed of sound).


Incident 008-1-1: While SCP-008-1 was contained in its usual yellow 600D polyester storage container, Subject-01 mistook SCP-008-1 as a regular gluestick after being dared to open it by his colleagues (we will leave the subject's name unknown as to not 'point the finger'). It is unknown whether or not Subject-01's colleagues comprehended the existence of SCP-008-1. What took place was a Level-1 containment breach of SCP-001-1. SCP-001-1 infected █ nearby researchers. Such infected researchers were observed for four days and — even with physical exposure to SCP-008-1 — showed no significant illness past the usual common cough. Following Incident 008-1-1, the sample was recontained and is ordered to be Permanently Restricted on █/11/20. The researchers were released earlier today but are put on a work-performance watch to make sure SCP-008-1 has not affected their work quality.

Addendum-1: █/11/20 - SCP-008-1 Permanent Restriction:
Researcher ██████ was provided with 1 Rapid Cordless Glue Gun with 1 additional Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) 1.1 * 18cm Hot Glue Stick.
Researcher ██████ was instructed to take SCP-008-1 to Site-9L's rear outbuilding while two Senior Research Staff observed from outside. Researcher ██████ then used the provided glue gun and glue stick to create a hot glue seal around the middle opening of SCP-008-1. After 20 minutes passed, Senior Researcher ██ inspected SCP-008-1 and deemed it contained. SCP-008-1 was then returned to its 600D polyester containment chamber and left alone until further notice for it to settle.

██████ you halfwit. You've glued the wrong part shut! Do you see the part where the feather is coming out? THAT IS WHERE THEY JOIN TOGETHER! NOT THE SIDE OF THE LID! Who is the stupid 'senior' researcher who thought this was good enough? Absolute fool. Because of you, we had a whole 'nother incident regarding SCP-008-1. You had one job man.
- Your kind friend, researcher ████.
