Duped Shovel

*Item #:** SCP-XXXX

**Object Class: ** Keter

**Special Containment Procedures: ** SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a 5x5 containment chamber at a secluded part of site 17. The doors SCP-XXXX containment chamber is to remain closed at times and no electronics are to be brought with in a 3 kilometer radius unless it is for testing purposes only. The doors to SCP-XXXX are to be opened via mechanical crank and used by D class personnel only. Emergency response team [Input MTF unit here]. Testing must be verified from 05 council members as a failed experiment could lead to site wide containment breach. Any changes in behavior are to be reported to the site director immediately. A one-way mirror is placed in the containment cell for viewing purposes.

**Description: ** SCP-XXXX is a mechanical arachnid it is primarily constructed from computer components although a common material found is the motherboard of ███ brand name home personal computers although it is to be noted that if in some case SCP-XXXX loses or breaks a part of its shell or electronic insides it will shut down in a comatose state until a replacement part is placed into the containment chamber then it will “awaken“ from its comatose state and will begin to deconstruct itself to replace the broken part. It is to be noted that if SCP-XXXX is within viewing distance of a humanoid entity and has be damaged in any kind it will not enter a comatose state and will begin exhibiting radio static while doing anything in its power to cripple and eliminate in any way possible. This is usually done via piercing of the victim’s heart and or splitting the spinal cord. In 90 % of cases victims either end up deceased or severely injured. It is to be noted that overloading SCP-XXXX with severe amounts of electricity will incapacitate or put SCP-XXXX into its comatose state this is the best way of approaching SCP-XXXX in the case of re-containment. SCP-XXXX greatest threat is every 2 hours it releases and electromagnetic pulse that will wipe out any electronics in a 500 meter radius and every 24 hours it releases a greater pulse that spans the range from 900 meters to 2 kilometers although in very rare cases it has ranged to 20 kilometers wide resulting in a site wide blackout. SCP-XXXX exhibits radio static from where the mouth would be on the face of SCP-XXXX it is possible for SCP-XXXX to communicate in radio chatter although it is to be noted that it is very cryptic. It is also found that it plays clips from different radio channels even from different languages all though it primarily speaks in Spanish, English, French and German.

[END LOG]
The feed is cut short as SCP- XXXX breaks through the bullet proof glass separating the two. SCP-XXXX climbs over the researcher and is incapacitated by a guard standing near by with a modified cattle prod that delivers over 50 000 volts on contact. SCP- XXXX is moved out of the interviewing room and placed back into containment.

[INCIDENT SCP-XXXX-1]
At approximately 4 am in the morning SCP-XXXX releases an EMP so large it causes a site wide blackout resulting in the containment breach of every SCP cell in the facility, back up generators start and fail because SCP-XXXX releases another EMP in rapid succession. Its own cell was opened by the an unknown SCP (it is theorized that this incident was caused by SCP-[still researching preferably series 4 or 5]) SCP-XXXX then walked out of its containment cell killing 4 researchers and 2 D class personnel and fatally injuring an MTF escort. SCP-XXXX was re-contained 2 hours later via modified cattle prods.
