Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
SCP-XXXX's initial location upon discovery
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in Research Sector 121-A with two armed guards posted . Any researcher with Level 3 clearance or above wishing to experiment on SCP-XXXX are to submit an experiment proposal to site command for prior approval. All non-anomalous outputs produced by SCP-XXXX are to be kept in Storage Sector 97-L and made available for further study.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a Untha RS150 Heavy-Duty Industrial Shredder with a 1.5 x 1.26 meter charging hole and an integrated output bin underneath the machine into which shredded material falls. SCP-XXXX-A is a mobile control column, able to anomalously communicate with SCP-XXXX regardless of distance or obstacles. SCP-XXXX-A contains an operating panel with an integrated industrial PC a 15" touch screen, by which a user can activate the various functions of SCP-XXXX. The controls on SCP-XXXX-A trigger SCP-XXXX to perform the functions expected for a non-anomalous version of the machine except for the control to reverse the machine's direction. If this button is pressed, SCP-XXXX's main anomalous property activates.
SCP-XXXX operates without a power source, and all attempts to damage it by non-anomalous means have failed. Attempting to shred a material that would damage a non-anomalous version of the machine results in SCP-XXXX displaying the following error message:
!!! Error: Remove object from charging hole !!!
SCP-XXXX installed in Foundation custody
Upon activation, SPC-XXXX will "unshred" material in the output bin, piecing shredded, torn, fragmented, or otherwise separated material back into its original form prior to being damaged. Shredding and unshredding a given material in SPC-XXXX take equivalent amounts of time.
SPC-XXXX has been able to revert materials which make up only a portion of a whole into its entire original form; the exact method by which it does this is unclear. If there is a difference in mass between the material in the bin and the binned material's original form, SCP-XXXX displays the following message and unshreds the material anyway, apparently generating additional mass from a reservoir of energy contained inside of it.
!!! Error: Missing material, compensating with energy-mass reservoir !!!
If this difference exceeds 172.84 kg, SCP-XXXX will fail to activate, displaying the following error message on SCP-XXXX-A:
!!! Error: Insufficient energy-mass reservoir !!!
Attempting to unshred multiple such materials in a span of time shorter than 18 hours results in the same error message, implying that SCP-XXXX regenerates its reservoir every 18 hours, though by what means remains unknown.
Recovery: SCP-XXXX was recovered from █████████ Industries, after several reports to the engineering that a recycling machine was displaying strange error messages when run in reverse to clear jams. A recovery team was dispatched in response after analysis of security footage determined that the machine in question was displaying anomalous properties. SCP-XXXX was transported to Foundation Site-40 for containment and further investigation.
Addendum #1: As of Experiment 121.XXXX.3, biological testing with SCP-XXXX is discontinued.
Addendum #2: Experiment 121.XXXX.4 confirms that unshredding incomplete objects using SCP-XXXX destabilizes existing material previously in the material's original form not placed in the bin. This suggests that SCP-XXXX replicates the material's original form on an atomic level, resulting in destabilization of the original material consistent with current understanding of quantum mechanics. Essentially, SCP-XXXX must "observe" each particle in the material's original form in order to replicate the original object, which, because the particle is then recreated out of SCP-XXXX's energy reservoir, changes the original particle.
Any further testing with SCP-XXXX must either be performed with the complete materials of the item to be unshredded or with the unused portions of the item to be unshredded contained in Research Sector 121-C and observed.
Test Logs:
Test #: XXXX.1
Researcher: Dr. Addison
Material: One 60-page sheaf of Foundation-grade copy paper in packaging, shredded with SCP-XXXX
Result: Entire 60-page sheaf emerged from charging hole in packaging
Material: One 60-page sheaf of Foundation-grade copy paper removed from packaging, shredded with office paper shredder
Result: Entire 60-page sheaf emerged from charging hole, contained in Foundation-manufactured plastic packaging
Material: One 60-page sheaf of Foundation-grade copy paper removed from packaging with one page removed, shredded with office paper shredder
Result: Entire 60-page sheaf emerged from charging hole, contained in Foundation-manufactured plastic packaging
Material: 60 pages of Foundation-grade copy paper, shredded with office paper shredder
Result: 60 pages of Foundation-grade copy paper emerged from charging hole in series
Note: SCP-XXXX seems to understand the origin of the material placed into it, as it recreated the packaging when all sheets were from the same sheaf but not when the sheets originated from different sheafs. The trials with paper are surprisingly helpful, as it demonstrates some of the logic behind how SCP-XXXX unshreds material. —Dr. Addison
Material: One classified 40-page document, shredded with office paper shredder
Result: Complete document emerged from charging hole with security markers intact
Material: 2.33 kg of powdered engineering brick
Result: Ten engineering bricks emerged from charging hole
Material: One engineering brick from previous trial
Result: SCP-XXXX-A displayed insufficient mass-energy error message
Note: It is unknown what object SCP-XXXX was attempting to recreate. However, site command notes that the engineering bricks powerded for use in the previous trial were sourced from a demolition site through a front company. The limits of what SCP-XXXX considers as an object's original form are as of yet unclear. —Dr. Addison
Test #: XXXX.2
Researcher: Dr. Addison
Material: One Foundation ID card, painted black and shredded
Result: ID card emerged from charging hole covered in black paint
Note: Removal of the paint on the recreated card shows the same credentials, and scanning the card using a Foundation terminal displays the same data read from the card pre and post-shredding. SCP-XXXX is not creating a "blank" version of objects it recreates; it seems to be either creating a temporal anomaly or recreating an object on the atomic level. More research required. —Dr. Addison
Material: 4.94 kg of assorted shredded plastic, sourced from ███████ Recycling Industries
Result: Thirteen plastic "Coca-cola" bottles, seven plastic "Sprite" bottles, one "Fanta Orange" bottle, and six assorted plastic tubs emerged from charging hole. The interior of each soda bottles showed trace amounts of their corresponding soda, and two of the plastic tubs contain uneaten portions of ramen noodles.
Notes: It is strange that SCP-XXXX recreated the plastic tubs with food inside of them. Evidently even trace particles of an object in SCP-XXXX will trigger SCP-XXXX to recreate it. This limit should be further tested. —Dr. Addison
Test #: XXXX.3

Material: One corpse of a felis catus in advanced stage of decay

Note: Further testing with organic material is to be immediately discontinued, and all further requests to do so will be denied without approval from the O5 council. —O5-██
Further trials in Test XXXX.3 cancelled by order of O5 council
Test #: XXXX.4
Researcher: Dr. Thaddeus Craun
Material: A pencil, snapped in half
Result: A pencil emerged from charging hole
Material: One half of a pencil that had been snapped in half
Result: A pencil emerged from charging hole
Note: The waste bin that the other half of the pencil had been placed in spontaneously caught fire as SCP-XXXX unshredded the pencil. The fire was quickly extinguished by staff on hand, but investigation into the source of the fire revealed that the half of the pencil placed in the bin changed in composition immediately as soon as SCP-XXXX was activated, producing an unstable variant of graphite that rapidly underwent exothermic reactions. It seems that SCP-XXXX destabilizes the "extra" pieces of any object that it unshreds. —Dr. Thaddeus Craun
