Item #: SCP-3902
Object Class: Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-3902-1 instances are to be destroyed immediately by incineration. SCP-3902 is to be held in a 8 centimeter cubic containment unit, within a Level 3 containment unit. Only to be removed for testing via robot arm.
SCP-3902 is not to be contained by or within three (3) meters of: wood, bone, ivory, bamboo, or leather products. See document 3902-16 for details. This effect can be avoided through a living-flesh obstruction; researchers are recommended to protect small vulnerable objects within their mouth or a similar cavity. Using D-Class for the temporary protection of large vulnerable objects has not been approved by the Ethics Committee, although a sixth (6)th request has been submitted.
Class 2 personal protection equipment must be worn while in proximity to SCP-3902 or any part thereof. All testing is to be done via mechanical aid, or through D-Class personnel.
In case of skin contact with the anomaly, the affected person is now infected with SCP-3902-B, and must be quarantined or killed to prevent a potential outbreak of SCP-3902-B-2. After death, the subject is to be placed in a furnace until all flesh is removed from the SCP-3902-1 instance. The remaining piece of SCP-3902 is to be returned to the original containment unit.
In case of high quality, any usable parts of SCP-3902-1 are to be deformed or reshaped until unidentifiable as transmuted human bone. The resultant gemstones are to be sold at or below market price, with all revenue being sent to the Foundation Treasury Department.
In case of low quality, any remaining parts of a SCP-3902-1 instance are to be crushed into powder for industrial use, to be sold as above or used in Foundation processes.
In case of especially unique parts, contact Dr. Melanie Harigawa, Level 4 researcher, for instructions on transport to her collection.
Description: SCP-3902 appears to be an incomplete human skeleton made of five (5) different natural gemstones: black opal, tanzanite, red beryl, amethyst and agate, in order of frequency of appearance. The object was found in the United Kingdom after a previously undiscovered natural cave collapsed beneath a major civilian highway in January 19██. Approximately twenty (20) minutes later, Search and Rescue teams arrived, but were unable to locate any bodies other than that of SCP-3902. Foundation teams were dispatched to the location and retrieved the anomaly with minimal exposure. The cave-in and lack of resultant bodies were excused to the public as a natural gas explosion. At time of discovery, SCP-3902 was missing: three (3) “phalanges” from the left “hand”; the “skull”; the left “femur”; two (2) “vertebrae”; one (1) “rib”.
SCP-3902’s most obvious effect is an instantaneous loss of cohesion for any hard or durable organic substances within three (3) meters of any part of the SCP. This applies to wood, bone, and naturally or artificially toughened tissue such as callus or leather, but not to artificial or inorganic variants such as plastic-based leather or petrified wood. A casing of still-living flesh will block this effect; as such, researchers are free to enter the area of effect. Small objects of sanitized wood, ivory, or similar may be safely protected by being placed inside the mouth cavity.
SCP-3902’s secondary effect activates when a human or specifically humanoid creature1 makes physical contact with any given part of SCP-3902. Upon contact, the specific part of SCP-3902 will vanish. D-class subjects have at this point reported stabbing pains from the approximate location on their bodies analogue to the disappeared bone of SCP-3902. Research has shown that the effect SCP-3902-A begins at this time.
There are five (5) stages of SCP-3902-A, over the course of at minimum three days.
Subject makes contact with any part of SCP-3902, which then disappears. Subject reports extreme pain in an analogous location, although medical examination shows no physical symptoms.
A variable number of hours later, at some point when unobserved2, the Subject’s skeleton will be completely replaced through SCP-3902-B. This process has been reported to be completely painless, though Subject will be more lethargic as time passes. The process has not been recorded to take longer than one month, except in the case of premature Subject death.
At the moment of complete skeletal conversion through SCP-3902-B, the Subject’s heart and lungs will cease to function, and total brain death will occur. At this point, the skeleton of the Subject is known as a SCP-3902-1 instance, except for the “bone” that acts as a replacement for the vanished “bone” of SCP-3902, which will retain the original anomalous effects.
Decomposition will occur at a normal rate, although the SCP-3902-1 instance will not decay due to its inorganic structure.
Incident 3902-IV
In August 19██, the SCP Foundation was alerted to a possible containment breach at the Archeological Museum of Hanbury, VA. Upon arrival, MTF forces were notified of two former museum workers, under suspicion of burglary and of anomalous influence. Dr. Arthur [REDACTED] and his assistant, Martha [REDACTED], had been arrested for stealing valuable gemstones out of ancient artifacts that they had been assigned to clean after the delivery the previous month. The Foundation had been alerted after Dr. [REDACTED] collapsed inside the courtroom, and his Foundation-payroll coroner noted his altered skeletal system. After the eventual death of Martha [REDACTED], the MTF officers quarantined the museum, and found all three missing “Phalanges”; two had vanished from the rings that they had been set into, and the third was still in place. The shipment they had been a part of was from an excavation into an ancient Macedonian tomb, although records had been damaged enough that the specific location was unknown.
Incident 3902-VIII
In December 20██, police reports from a village on the outskirts of Chennai, India alerted Foundation systems to a potential anomalous series of deaths. Upon arrival, MTF forces found thirty-six (36) dead bodies, ranging from age six (6) to seventy two (72). Three (3) law enforcement officials were quarantined due to contact with the dead. One (1) seven (7) year old boy was found wandering the village and was contained according to Humanoid Protocol BB-187. Autopsies of the dead and later of the quarantined officers revealed that they had all gone through an extremely rapid variation of SCP-3902-B, although none of the resultant “bones” from the many SCP-3902-1 instances had any anomalous effects.
Later interviews with the boy3 revealed that he and his friends had discovered a crystalline sculpture of a human skull4, which he had been the first to touch. Placed in the eye socket of SCP-3902-2 was SCP-3902-2b, a piece of modern yellow construction paper on which was written, in the local dialect, “Four down. [damaged] to go!”. After reportedly going through pain similar to that of the first stage of SCP-3902-B, the boy recovered and went home with his friends, to be examined that night by his family members and the village doctor. At some point in the middle of the night, he was awoken by loud screams, which ceased after some time only to restart later in the night, in periodic waves which “sounded further away”. It has been determined that these were the sounds of the various members of the village being infected and killed by the higher-speed, communicable SCP-3902-B variant known as SCP-3902-B-2, which is only caused by contact with the “skull”, SCP-3902-2.
