Image of SCP-5136 upon discovery.

Item #: SCP-5136

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5136 is to be kept in a 60 cm x 120 cm locked safe, placed inside a standard containment chamber. The room is to be watched under 24/7 surveillance, and two armed guards are to be present outside the chamber at all times. No personnel are to interact with SCP-5136 unless given by authorization by level 04 or higher.

Description: SCP-5136 is a standard 5 pendulum Newton’s Cradle, 11.9 x 19.8 x 18.0 cm in area. It has no discernible markings of any brand or company. When a singular ball of SCP-5136 is pulled back and released, it has potential to cause 0-4 seismic activity on the Richter Scale. The epicenter of this is the immediate vicinity of SCP-5136. It is speculated that when two balls of SCP-5136 are pulled back and released, it has the potential to cause 5-9 seismic activity on the Richter Scale. It is also speculated that when three balls of SCP-5136 are pulled back and released, it has potential to cause seismic activity 10 and above on the Richter Scale. Possibly starting a IK class end-of-world scenario. It is currently not understood how SCP-5136 is able to affect the seismic activity of Earth.

Addendum 5136.1: SCP-5136 was discovered during the investigation of multiple unpredictable Seismic Activities in Fellsmere, Florida. MTF Beta-8 "Marsh men" conducted a raid on house in the region and found SCP-5136, one member of MTF Beta-8 unknowingly took one pendulum and released it, resulting in immediate Seismic Activity with a magnitude of 4 in the surrounding area. After this event, SCP-5136 was moved to Site-11, as well as the owner of the house for questioning.

Agent █████: Hello Mr. Parkinson, you probably know why you're here, yes?

Floyd Parkinson: It's because of that damned Newton's Cradle isn't it?

Agent █████: Yes Mr. Parkinson, now would you like to explain how you came into possession of this object?

Floyd Parkinson: It just arrived on my doorstep a couple weeks ago, didn't have any note or nothing. I thought it was neat so I took it inside and started playing with it.

Agent █████: And did you notice the seismic activity?

Floyd Parkinson: Well the first time I thought it was a coincidence. But after the second time I realized that it was doing it.

Agent █████: So what did you do after that, Mr. Parkinson?

Floyd Parkinson: Can you stop calling me "Mr. Parkinson" it's creeping me out. Who the hell are you guys anyway?

Agent █████: Floyd, just answer my questions and we can release you.

Floyd Parkinson: Alright….

Floyd Parkinson: I just left it out, I didn't know what to do. I thought I was going insane. Is that why I'm here is this a Mental Institution? Where the hell am I?

Agent █████: Floyd, Calm down. We're only here to figure out what happened.

Floyd Parkinson: I'm not calming down or answering your questions until you tell me what the hell is going on!
