Description: SCP XXXX is an almost perfectly round sphere, with a diameter measuring approximately 0.32m and weight of 392kg
SCP XXXX is covered in white material, up to 3mm in depth. Molecular analysis has determined that this is composed of suevite. Beneath this coating, the proper surface of SCP XXXX is a dark, almost black, non reflective metal. Analysis has concluded this to be an exotic and especially strong alloy, principally composed of nickel and chromium. Scans of SCP XXXX have indicated that the core of the sphere is different in nature to this alloy, featuring a denser material, the properties of which are otherwise unknown.
Containment: SCP XXXX should be contained in box lined with lead no less than 0.4m in depth. SCP XXXX must be contained in a locked room located at least 1.2km from living quarters, and may be accessed solely though the obtaining of special permission. This permission must be applied for in person, and should automatically expire no more than two hours after being granted. Any personnel attempting to access SCP XXXX in any other circumstances should be apprehended and subject to evaluation as detailed in []
SCP XXXX first came to the attention of Foundation personnel during the so-called Patuanak Incident that occurred at 07.20 on April 20th [] , which resulted in the deaths of 4 men and 1 woman at in the village of Île-à-la-Crosse in Saskatchewan, Canada. The Patuanak Incident resulted in the further hospitalization of 11 individuals from this community, all of whom exhibited some level of radiation poisoning. While the incident was initially treated by Canadian civil officers, MTF Proxima was dispatched by 11.30 (local time) and, despite some complications, had successfully extricated SCP XXXX by 19.00 the same day. To date, Canadian authorities remain unaware of the existence, or at least significance, of SCP XXXX , despite having launched numerous investigations into the Patuanak Incident.
MTF Proxima was unable to determine the reason for SCP XXXX's presence at the domicile it was situated, though evidence suggests that it may have resided there for some time prior to the incident in question. MTF Proxima's immediate assessment of the site concerning the Patuanak Incident was that the victims at [] (all members of the same family) were instantly killed by extreme levels of radiation exposure. This assessment has subsequently proven inaccurate, with the victims in question likely exposed to radiation only marginally more powerful than that affecting the other nearby residents. The actual cause for these peoples' deaths remains unknown. MTF Proxima was also initially uncertain if SCP XXXX was actually anomalous in nature, which likely heavily contributed to the events of July 1st []
Edit: Research conducted by Dr Edwards indicates that the hitherto unexplained incursion by deer between 03.00 - 11.00 on October 6th 1995 at site [] might be attributable to SCP XXXX. Dr. Edwards is also responsible for attributing Incident B to SCP XXXX. Dr. Varda's research team have identified the probable link between Incident A and SCP XXXX.
While SCP XXXX was housed at station [] on July 1st [], one of the members, Private [] went missing. This was initially put down to desertion, particularly since Private [] had scored poorly in psychological evaluation that had occurred shortly before the event. Attempts to locate Private [] were hampered by corruption of recording data in station [] at the time. Private [] subsequently appeared six days later moving through the town of [] some 43 km from station []. The private was observed crawling on the ground using all four limbs, and had clearly sustained significant abrasions. His clothes were the same as he had been wearing the night he initially went missing, albeit torn, and substantially missing. Foundation officers were quickly informed of this development and were able to apprehend private []. While in custody, private [] principally non-responsive, and made no attempt to engage with Foundation officers, regardless of the approaches used. Private [] health steadily deteriorated, despite the best efforts of foundation staff. The nominal cause of death was renal failure, largely caused by his non-consumption of food and drink for the period of his being missing, though significant neurological complications were also present.
SCP XXXX was subsequently contained at site []. The reasons for this choice are recorded as it being the nearest site to SCP XXXX at the time. While this is true, the cause of SCP XXXX ending up at station [], for this to be the case, are subject to speculation. It is not currently possible to ascertain whether this was by chance or design.
Although SCP XXXX was not actively radioactive, concerns relating to the Patuanak Incident caused it to be housed in a lead box. These concerns proved justified when, on September 21st, sensors detected a significant emission of gamma radiation from SCP XXXX, lasting approximately 0.8 seconds, and measuring 2,500,040 microsieverts. In the next five months two subsequent emissions were detected, one measuring 1,100,000 microsiverts, and another measuring 1,780,100 microsiverts. The latter of these emissions appears to correlate with incident B. SCP XXXX continued to produce brief gamma ray burst, of varying intensities, every several months after this point.
Four hours after the preceding burst from SCP XXXX, at 03.42, officer [] woke up in his quarters, situated some 200m SCP XXXX, and proceeded to move though site []. Footage shows that his gait was unsteady, but the only other remarkable aspect of officer [] was that he remained in his underwear, despite leaving his quarters. Officer [] remained capable of using his key-card, and passed through two doors with restricted access. At 03.45 officer [] encountered a door which he did not have clearance to pass through. Upon finding no means to progress forward, officer [] proceeded to physically assault the door with his body. At 03.47 officer [] collapsed. Officer [] body was recovered at 04.02 by responders and brought under armed guard to the infirmary on that level. Autopsy reports subsequently showed that officer [] had sustained fatal injuries to his head, causing substantial cranial bleeding. Coupled with this, officer [] had broken multiple bones in both hands and arms.
Dr. [] was tasked with cataloging newer anomalous entities, which included SCP XXXX, at this time classified as safe. Dr [] wrote up correct reports for all the SCPs she was tasked with, until her analysis of SCP XXXX. Dr. [] falsified reports detailing D-class testing relating to SCP XXXX, saying that physical interaction with SCP XXXX often led to temporary feelings of euphoria among testees, with no obvious long term implications. Dr. [] claims to have no memory of writing this part of the report, and says that SCP XXXX had appeared entirely unremarkable to her. This report went unnoticed for a subsequent two weeks, until discovered by Dr. [] during routine administrative work, who scheduled advanced testing of SCP XXXX with personnel under his command. Three weeks later Dr and his staff began testing SCP XXXX for potential psychological application.
Shortly after testing commenced, Dr left the laboratory housing SCP XXXX and proceeded through site []. As Dr. []'s staff already had instructions on how to proceed, Dr. []'s absence was not immediately noticeable, nor was this deemed particularly uncharacteristic for him. Dr. [] proceeded through site [] at a relatively fast pace. After 12 minutes Dr. [] had descended to level [] and was proceeding in what is believed to be the direction of SCP []. At this point Dr. was accosted by Mr. [] who asked Dr. [] about updates concerning []. As Dr.[] failed to reply, Mr.[] followed him and repeatedly asked the administrator for an answer. It soon became apparent to Mr.[] that Dr.[] was incapable of replying, ultimately leading to a full scale lock-down of the area.
Shortly after Dr.[] was apprehended by task force personnel, a member of Dr. []'s team, still in close proximity to SCP XXXX, fell into a catatonic state. The rest of the research team were apparently unaffected by this event. The researcher who was in this way affected
