Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained in standard inanimate object containment room, adjacent to Site-XXXX-alpha. SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 are allowed within the containment room and Site-XXXX-alpha, but are restricted from the rest of the containment facility. In the unlikely event SCP-XXXX-1 or SCP-XXXX-2 attempt to enter a restricted part of the facility or attempt physical contact with SCP-XXXX, non-lethal methods should be employed to stop them. Full understanding and potential neutralization of SCP-XXXX's future anomalous property is considered a top priority, and Site-XXXX-alpha is considered the primary tool for gaining information regarding SCP-XXXX. For guidelines on the operation of Site-XXXX-alpha, see Addendum 4.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a 19th-century hunting rifle, expected to display anomalous properties at some point in the future. It is unknown whether SCP-XXXX is currently non-anomalous or if it's anomalous properties have merely not yet been observed. Once every 36 hours, SCP-XXXX-2 will materialize somewhere within 10 meters of SCP-XXXX, followed shortly by SCP-XXXX-1. This event is not considered to be directly caused by, or an anomalous property of, SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 usually dematerialize 1 hour after they arrive, but have been known to stay for longer.

SCP-XXXX-1 refers to a group of usually human and usually humanoid individuals who claim to be visiting SCP-XXXX as part of a "Multiversal historical oddity tour." The makeup of SCP-XXXX-1 changes every 36-hour cycle. The technologies and equipment carried by SCP-XXXX-1 vary from individual to individual but usually include an automatic translator and a camera analog, with which instances of SCP-XXXX-1 have been known to photograph themselves, SCP-XXXX, and the staff of Site-XXXX-alpha. This behavior is considered normal.

SCP-XXXX-2 is an apparently human individual who acts as a "tour guide" for SCP-XXXX-1. During SCP-XXXX-2's initial materialization in the facility, it explained to present researchers that SCP-XXXX was the final stop on a tour of extremely dangerous anomalies and that the tour would be improved if "current human interactions with the oddity" carried on "as if we weren't here". Aside from the recorded interviews, SCP-XXXX-2 has been largely dismissive of attempts at conversation by Foundation staff. During a typical cycle following materialization, SCP-XXXX-2 will spend around 15 minutes speaking to SCP-XXXX-1 in an unknown language, before retreating to a corner of the containment room until the end of the visit. Following the events of Incident-XXXX-A, SCP-XXXX-2 is considered non-hostile but dangerous if provoked.

Recovery Log: SCP-XXXX was first encountered following a zoning complaint submitted by several residents of S█████, California against L███ R███████. According to the complaint, Mr. R███████ had converted his house into a museum and gift shop to serve an unknown client. Agents dispatched to the scene discovered SCP-XXXX surrounded by SCP-XXXX-1, the latter of which had no reaction to the confiscation of SCP-XXXX aside from taking photos of the event.

Addendum 1: Interview Log XXXX-1

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-2

Interviewer: SCP-XXXX Lead Researcher Scott

Foreword: Two weeks after the recovery of SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX-2 requested a meeting with site staff to clear up what it referred to as "public relations." Up to this point, SCP-XXXX-2 had been dismissive of attempts at conversation.

<Begin Log>

Researcher Scott: I'm glad you've finally decided to help us here, SCP-XXXX-2. Now, if you'd like to begin with an overview of the anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX, that would—

SCP-XXXX-2: Oh, I think there's been a miscommunication! I'm just here to establish some ground rules on how you're treating our clientele. Customer satisfaction surveys have indicated they don't appreciate you poking them with medical equipment.

Researcher Scott: In that case it looks like we have a common goal, my staff all agree that poking members of SCP-XXXX-1 has been ineffective in determining SCP-XXXX's properties. If you could simply tell us what about the object is so anomalous, I can promise we'd leave your, ah, guests alone.

SCP-XXXX-2: I'm sorry, but that information is classified for locals.

Researcher Scott: Classified in what sense?

SCP-XXXX-2: Classified as in redacted, withheld, "need-to-know basis", that sort of thing. You guys have a lot of experience with this, I'd think you would understand.

Researcher Scott: SCP-XXXX-2, if we don't understand the properties of this object we can't protect the people of this planet. You could be putting lives at risk.

SCP-XXXX-2: Sorry mate, it's company policy. Tour guides have to memorize a redacted version of the object spiel to recite to intelligent locals, but that's the best I can do.

Researcher Scott: That's fine, recite away.

SCP-XXXX-2 clears it's throat

SCP-XXXX-2: The spiel goes: "This last odd-ject, referred to as SCP-XXXX, is a 19th-century hunting rifle, expected to display anomalous properties," then there's a redaction, "in the future." And then the rest is all redacted.

Researcher Scott: So you're not going to tell us anything?

SCP-XXXX-2: I can tell you what I just told you and no more.

Researcher Scott: Alright, this is going nowhere. I'm ending the interview.

<End Log>

Addendum 2: Incident Log XXXX-A

As part of standard upkeep protocol prior to the creation of Site-XXXX-alpha, SCP-XXXX was to be physically inspected for changes in appearances on a regular basis. During one of these inspections, through what has been determined as human error, Junior Researcher R███ dropped SCP-XXXX on the floor. SCP-XXXX-2, who was present in the containment chamber at the time, responded by throwing Junior Researcher R███ across the room, breaking two of the researcher's ribs. SCP-XXXX-2 then inspected SCP-XXXX, placed the object back on its table, and resumed its station in the corner of the room.

Addendum 3: Interview Log XXXX-2

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-2

Interviewer: SCP-XXXX Lead Researcher Scott

Foreword: Following Incident XXXX-A, SCP-XXXX-2 requested an interview with Foundation personnel.

<Begin Log>

Researcher Scott: Alright, SCP-XXXX-2. I presume you had something you wanted to tell us?

SCP-XXXX-2: More of a request, really. Could you maybe not try to break the gun? If an oddity gets damaged, there's no more tour. No more tour, no more job, you know?

Researcher Scott: Taking samples is part of standard testing procedure. Until we figure out what SCP-XXXX does, we're going to have to keep doing this sort of thing.

SCP-XXXX-2: But it's pointless! You aren't even looking in remotely the right place! It's not—

SCP-XXXX-2 abruptly stops talking

Researcher Scott: You were saying?

SCP-XXXX-2: I shouldn't have told you that. Sorry, it's against company policy. Not that it matters anyway… man you folks are screwed.

Researcher Scott: So SCP-XXXX is dangerous?

SCP-XXXX-2: I mean, yeah. I'd want to be at least a few universes away when it goes off, maybe a couple of millennia in the future too.

Researcher Scott: So SCP-XXXX causes a ZK-Class event?

SCP-XXXX-2: Nah, way off. If it just broke reality, we'd be stopping to see the other reality-breakers as well. I don't think you have a name for it. It's one of those things that doesn't play nice with language, you know? Anyways, I really shouldn't be telling you all this. I've gotta get back to the tour.

Researcher Scott: Well, if that's all, I'm afraid we'll have to continue our standard testing protocol. Taking samples and all that. Thank you for your time, SCP-XXXX-2.

Researcher Scott begins to exit the interview room

SCP-XXXX-2: Wait!

Researcher Scott: Yes?

SCP-XXXX-2: Even if I wanted to explain it to you, I don't really know how it works. They pay me to read a script and herd stragglers, not to be an oddophysicist. Some of the tourists though, they are, and they don't have anything keeping their mouths shut aside from a dinky card they signed at the beginning of the tour. So maybe I don't notice you talking to them and then maybe you don't carve up the gun?

Researcher Scott: SCP-XXXX-2, we've been trying to converse with members of SCP-XXXX-1 since they first arrived. They barely interact with us, let alone talk. I get what you're trying to do here but it's really not that great a deal.

SCP-XXXX-2: They're just tourists, dude. You get them to talk the same way you would any tourist. I mean, even L███ figured that out, and he was a dunce.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained in a standard inanimate object containment room. Due to the nature of SCP-XXXX, all proposed tests must first be given clearance from level-4 personnel. In the event that sensitive information is gained from SCP-XXXX, said information is to be reported to Lead Researcher Albany and all personnel assigned to SCP-XXXX without level-4 clearance must re-pass the standard Foundation Loyalty assessment before being allowed to continue work on SCP-XXXX. Following the events of incident XXXX-A, SCP-XXXX is currently held at [REDACTED] by the Unusual Incidents Unit of the FBI. Efforts are to be made to reobtain SCP-XXXX through official channels.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an arcade game entitled "A Cause for Correlation", running on a machine styled after an 80's era arcade cabinet. When played, SCP-XXXX is able to measure and discover connections between events previously thought to be unrelated. Illustrations on the sides and marquee of the cabinet identify SCP-XXXX's protagonist as "Sammy the Statistics Squid" and invite potential players to "Help Sammy find the meaning of it all." The cabinet has a limited control system, consisting of a single, large, green button in the center of the control panel. The machine itself shows no overt anomalous properties and requires a 120v power supply to run.

Upon insertion of a quarter into SCP-XXXX's cabinet, SCP-XXXX begins and a startup animation is played in which two stylized, pixilated boxes are shaken and opened. The inside of each box is revealed to display the name of a seemingly random statistic.¹ Once both boxes have been opened, the screen abruptly cuts to a three-second countdown, after which the game begins in proper.

SCP-XXXX itself plays similarly to the 2013 mobile game "Flappy Bird", with Sammy the Statistics Squid flying to the right of the screen as obstacles fly past them to the left. Obstacles consist of slow-moving red and green rectangles and fast-moving pixilated wizards identified by SCP-XXXX's cabinet illustrations as "Statistic Mystics". Sammy naturally falls to the bottom of the screen, pressing the single button on the arcade machine causes her to "hop" higher up the screen, and touching any obstacles or the floor results in an immediate game over.

The anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX become apparent after a human player loses the game, at which point the in-game field of view, which has been following Sammy up to this point, enlarges to show the entire area covered by the player. Units relating to the chosen statistics from the opening animation are superimposed onto the x and y-axis of the screen and the path traced by Sammy during the game is highlighted. This highlighted line, when viewed as a correlational graph of the two statistics, has always proven to be 100% accurate to world events, such that altering one variable described will cause the other variable to change to match the graph. For example, if "Median price of goat cheese in Amsterdam" and "Floridian Algae Population" were selected as the variables at the beginning of the game, the player jumping over an obstacle might correspond to a certain price of goat cheese leading to an algae bloom. The specific way in which one statistic influences another, while often complex and difficult to discover, have so far all been shown to be non-anomalous.

If a robot or any other artificial automata plays SCP-XXXX to completion, the closing animation will still run, however the displayed graph will be inaccurate. Players not viewing the screen, as well as those who do not understand the rules and/or controls of SCP-XXXX, produce a similarly non-anomalous result. It is hypothesized that SCP-XXXX utilizes the pseudorandom inputs of sentient players to generate its models of the world, which it then converts to simplified graphical representations.

Recovery Log: SCP-XXXX was discovered amidst a collection of antique arcade equipment in the basement of millionaire wall street investor Mr. ████ ████████ after reports surfaced that he had begun inviting professional arcade gamers to his home for unknown purposes. Evidently, Mr. ████████ had been utilizing SCP-XXXX to influence and aid his investment career. SCP-XXXX was confiscated by foundation personnel, and Mr. ████████ was given a Class-C Amnestetic.

Addendum 1: Interview Log XXXX-1

Interviewed: Mr. ████████

Interviewer: SCP-XXXX Lead Researcher Albany

Foreword: The following interview was conducted prior to the administration of Amnestetics to Mr. ████████, in an attempt to determine the origin of SCP-XXXX.

<Begin Log>

Researcher Albany: So Mr. ████████, how did you first come into contact with this "A Cause for Correlation" machine?

Mr. ████████: Funny you should ask, I've been asking myself the same question. I don't really remember buying it, just sort of appeared. But, you know, I've got a pretty big collection, I might have bought it at some point.

Researcher Albany: Do you remember when you first discovered the machine?

Mr. ████████: Maybe a decade ago? Something like that. I know it was the summer of '██ when I figured out how it worked though.

Researcher Albany: And how does it work, exactly?

Mr. ████████: Pretty well if you ask me. I know the graphs are accurate, that's enough for someone like me, although I'm guessing it's not enough for someone like you.

Researcher Albany: You'd be correct. So you have no information on the origin of the machine?

Mr. ████████: I suppose not, but I think when you try to control something this big, you end up with something hard to control, you know? Hey, I get you've got to confiscate the game, but while you're at it you should invest in [Extranious Data Removed], someone should make some money from this thing at least.

<End Log>

Addendum 2: Incident log XXXX-A

At 1:██am ██/██/20██, a convoy transporting SCP-XXXX to a new containment site was successfully raided by the Unusual Incidents Unit of the FBI. The following letter was received at 6:██am, along with a formal UIU acquisition notice of SCP-XXXX, the same day of the raid. It remains the only official statement by the UIU regarding the event.

To whom it may concern,

We turn our backs on a lot of what you do, which is usually fine because we are usually on the same team, but you overstepped on this one and we had to take action. The official legal reasons for this morning's event are contained in the attached acquisition notice, but since we both know you don't care about that sort of thing, I'm providing a more direct explanation here.

A fundamental notion of the constitution of the United States of America is that our citizens have the right to pursue happiness. If So-and-so from Arizona wants to go swimming in the lake behind his house, he should be allowed to do that. Now, if a sudden, localized heatwave causes his lake to evaporate and renders So-and-so unable to preform his aquatic activities, that would not normally be our problem. What is our problem is when this heatwave coincides precisely with The Foundation transporting a herd of cows to some rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Americans have the right to determine their own future. Whatever your intentions, understand we can’t let you interfere with that. We've regretfully had to take corrective action, and it would be best for all of us if this was the end of the matter.

-Special Agent J█████, UIU

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained in a standard inanimate object containment room at Site-19. Due to the nature of SCP-XXXX, testing should be kept to a minimum, and all proposed tests must first be given clearance by Lead Researcher Albany. Personnel assigned to SCP-XXXX are forbidden from investing in the stock market.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an 80's era arcade machine branded for a game titled "Hoppy Stocks". Illustrations of the sides and marquee of SCP-XXXX identify the game's protagonist as "Hoppy the flying bull" and invite potential players to "Turn a single quarter into a successful quarter!" The machine has a limited control system, consisting of a single, large, green button in the center of the control panel. The machine itself shows no overt anomalous properties and requires a power supply and $.25 payment to run.

Upon insertion of a quarter into the machine, a startup animation is played in which a stylized, pixilated roulette wheel is spun. All tabs on the roulette table are unmarked and the tab the wheel lands on appears to have no bearing on the rest of the game. Once the wheel lands on a tab, a pixilated cardboard box appears on screen, shakes three (3) times, and then opens with an explosion of pixilated confetti. The inside of the box is revealed to display the name of a random public company stock. The screen abruptly cuts to a three (3) second countdown, after which the game begins in proper.

"Hoppy Stocks" itself plays similarly to the 2013 mobile game "Flappy Bird", with Hoppy the bull flying to the right of the screen as obstacles fly past them to the left. Obstacles consist of slow-moving red and green rectangles and fast-moving pixilated birds identified by the arcade illustrations as "Stock Storks". Hoppy naturally falls to the bottom of the screen, pressing the single button on the arcade machine causes him to "hop" higher up the screen, and touching any obstacles or the floor results in Hoppy falling off the bottom of the screen and an immediate game over.

The anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX become apparent after a player loses the game, at which point the in-game field of view, which has been following Hoppy up to this point, enlarges to show the entire area covered by the player and highlights the path traced by Hoppy during the game. In the days, weeks, and months following the end of the game, the stock shown in the opening animation will rise and fall to match the path traced by the player. Direct changes to the price of the stock are non-anomalous in nature, but will always result in the stock matching the path traced during the game. Since the player begins in the center of the screen, this means stocks under the influence of SCP-XXXX will only ever reach a value 200% that of when the game was activated, and since a game of SCP-XXXX will always eventually end in a game over, the price of stocks under the influence of SCP-XXXX will eventually fall to $0 (usually caused directly by the closure of the company related to the stock).

Contrary to the slogan advertised in its illustrations, SCP-XXXX's control over particular stock prices is not limited to a single economic quarter. Rather, the duration of control is determined by the total distance the player makes in the game, with ten (10) "Hoppy Lengths" corresponding to about 4 days of market activity.

Recovery Log: SCP-XXXX was discovered amidst a collection of antique arcade equipment in the basement of millionaire wall street investor Mr. ████ ████████ after reports surfaced that he had begun inviting professional arcade gamers to his home for unknown purposes. Evidently, Mr. ████████ had been utilizing SCP-XXXX to influence and aid his investment career. SCP-XXXX was confiscated by foundation personnel and Mr. ████████ was given a Class-C Amnestetic.

SCP-XXXX-(1,1,0)

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: As all instances of SCP-XXXX are currently extrasolar, current containment consists primarily of preventing the spread of information concerning SCP-XXXX. Should any non-Foundation personnel discover the existence of SCP-XXXX, Class C amnestics are to be used. In the event that an instance of SCP-XXXX enters the solar system, global special intelligence operatives should be temporarily tasked with further ensuring a lack of public knowledge of SCP-XXXX. If an instance of SCP-XXXX passes within range of Foundation spacefaring capabilities, an attempt should be made to rendezvous with and further study the object. In the unlikely event that an instance of SCP-XXXX is discovered on a collision course with an astronomical body within the range of Foundation spacefaring capabilities, consult procedure 401-Brolin.

Description: SCP-XXXX refers to a (presumably infinite) set of extraterrestrial objects which, when compared to large scale models of the Laniakea supercluster, are completely stationary. Locational information from Foundation telescopes is limited but suggests instances of SCP-XXXX appear in a three-dimensional array pattern, with approximately 2.2323 lightyears between closest instances. Instances of SCP-XXXX are denoted as SCP-XXXX-(x,y,z), with x, y, and z denoting the coordinate position of the instance relative to the first discovered instance of SCP-XXXX.

Following the events of Rendezvous XXXX-A, SCP-XXXX-(1,1,0) was determined to be a geometric tetrakis hexahedron, 21 meters in length. While it is theorized that this and other properties (see Addendum XXXX.1) are shared between all instances of SCP-XXXX, nothing can be confirmed until more instances are examined.

Addendum XXXX.1: Rendevous Log XXXX-A

Note: the following is a transcript of video logs live-streamed to research headquarters by the Foundation space shuttle Descartes during its rendezvous with SCP-XXXX-(1,1,0). Following the observation and vector calculation of SCP-XXXX-(1,1,0) earlier in the decade, and the conclusion that it would cross within Saturn's orbit in March of 20██, the Descartes was launched to intercept and study the object.

The crew of the Descartes consisted of SCP-XXXX lead researcher Harriet Davis and three members of MTF-G4 “Floating Point”. For the duration of the rendezvous procedure, G4-3 was outfitted with an S-84 lightweight mining suit for the purpose of collecting samples from SCP-XXXX-(1,1,0). All members of MTF-G4 were outfitted with standard foundation body cameras and zero-g propulsion suits. All three members of MTF-G4 approached the object, while Researcher Davis remained on the Descartes.

[Begin log]

Researcher Davis: Sound off.

G4-1: Check.

G4-2: Check.

G4-3: Check.

Researcher Davis: Alright team, it was a long time getting here and we’ve only got ten minutes before we need to begin thrust back to Earth, be careful. G4 you are clear to approach SCP-XXXX-(1,1,0).

G4-1: Rodger that, jumping off.

(Several minutes pass as G4 approaches the object)

G4-3: It looks like some sort of star…

G4-1: Rangefinder says 20 meters.

Researcher Davis: Copy, commence visual inspection.

G4-1: Alright. 2, head clockwise around this thing, I’ll take counterclockwise. 3, stay where you are.

(G4-1 and G4-2 begin to propel themselves around SCP-XXXX-(1,1,0))

G4-2: Hey command, do we have an OK to turn on flashlights? I can’t see anything but a silhouette where I am.

Researcher Davis: G4-2, you have my permission to use a flashlight.

G4-2: Thanks. Alright, the surface on this end looks dark grey, really smooth.

G4-1: Same on this side.

Researcher Davis: I’m checking your video feeds, you’ve all got the same color.

G4-2: Shouldn’t it be bleached or something sun-side?

Researcher Davis: Depends on the material. G4-3, could you get us a sample?

G4-3: Sure thing.

(G4-3 approaches SCP-XXXX-(1,1,0)’s closest vertex)

G4-3: Beginning now.

(G4-3 attempts to dig into SCP-XXXX-(1,1,0). Upon contact with the object, video feed abruptly cuts out. After approximately 3.5 minutes later feed resumes with no gap in video timestamp. G4-3's attempted dig appears to push the object a short distance away from him. Several seconds pass before anyone does anything)

G4-1: Did anyone else feel that?

G4-3: I think I'm still feeling it. Like a light headache or something right?

G4-2: Same here.

Researcher Davis: Same here. Just a second. 3, did you push that thing away from you?

(at this point mission HQ received a second live-stream transmission from the location of the Descartes , with timestamps approximately 3.5 minutes ahead of the initial transmission. For simplicity, both streams have been organized here chronologically by timestamp.))

G4-3: Yeah, maybe a centimeter. Why?

Researcher Davis: The ship's rangefinders are saying you just moved a half meter away.

G4-1: Should we contact headquarters?

Researcher Davis: We already are, but it'll take too long for them to send a response. 3, can you try to push that thing back in the opposite direction?

G4-3: On my way.

(G4-3 begins to move to the opposite end of SCP-XXXX-(1,1,0))

G4-1: Hey doc, I just noticed something.

Researcher Davis: Yes?

G4-1: If 3 pushed this thing shouldn't it still be moving? Because it doesn't seem to be moving.

G4-2: Maybe it's just pulling us with it?

Researcher Davis: I don't think so. Ship rangefinders reported an initial change of half a meter, but nothing changed since then. I'll log that (1,1,0) has probable inertial dampening properties. Good spot 1.

G4-3: I'm in position, so do I push it a centimeter or half a meter or what?

Researcher Davis: Do the same thing you did last time, just in the opposite direction.

G4-3: Copy that. Commencing counter-push in 3, 2, 1.

(Transmission 1 ends the moment G4-3 makes contact with SCP-XXXX-(1,1,0), the following is a transcript of transmission 2)

G4-3: Did it work? Is everyone alright?

G4-2: I still have a headache, it might be residual though…

Researcher Davis: Ship rangefinders are reporting the object is back to its initial distance. I think we're in the clear.

G4-3: Permission to try to collect a sample again? If 1 and 2 hold this thing from the other time I think we might be able to stop it from moving.

Researcher Davis: Permission denied. You don't have the proper equipment, and if this thing does what it seems to do that's too big a risk. Anyways we're almost out of time. G4, please return to the Descartes.

G4-2: Rodger that.

G4-1: On our way.

G4-3: Fine.

Researcher Davis: I want this on record. SCP-XXXX-(1,1,0) appears to have powerful reality-bending capabilities. I recommend special care be made not to alter the movement of this or any other instances of SCP-XXXX. If we get another chance to study one of these up close, bring specialized mining equipment.

[End Log]

Addendum XXXX.2: Procedure 401-Brolin

+ Level 03 Security Clearance Required

- Access Granted

Should an instance of SCP-XXXX collide with an astronomical body large enough for the instance to be caught on or pushed by the body, current theory suggests such a collision would cause adverse effects to the spacial realities of the eight octants of space surrounding the instance. Should an instance be dragged into an octant it was not initially a vertex of, a localized CK-class Reconfiguration event is hypothesized to occur. To avoid such a situation, the following guide is to be consulted as to what specific procedure to follow.

If an instance of SCP-XXXX is found on a collision course with a relatively small, uninhabited astronomical body (e.g. small asteroids, comets), that body should be moved the minimum distance required to prevent a collision.
If an instance of SCP-XXXX is found on a collision course with a relatively large, uninhabited astronomical body (e.g. large asteroids, dwarf planets, large moons, planets) such that movement proves impossible, use of extreme measures (including that of anomalous entities at the discretion of the 05 Council) is authorized in order to destroy (or partially destroy) the body in order to prevent a collision.
If an instance of SCP-XXXX is found on a collision course with a relatively small, inhabited astronomical body (i.e. ████), that body should be evacuated if necessary, then moved the minimum distance required to prevent a collision.
If an instance of SCP-XXXX is found on a collision course with a relatively large, inhabited astronomical body (i.e. Earth), that body should be evacuated, and use of extreme measures (including that of anomalous entities at the discretion of the 05 Council) is authorized in order to destroy (or partially destroy) the body in order to prevent a collision. If evacuation proves impossible, the decision as to what action to take is up to the discretion of the 05 Council.

In all cases where the existence moved/destroyed astronomical body was known to non-Foundation personnel, Class C amnestics are to be used to prevent public knowledge of SCP-XXXX and Foundation activity.
