Object upon recovery.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept folded in a standard containment locker. SCP-XXXX is not to be brought outside, except under testing conditions.

Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a Hawaiian style straw umbrella, measured at 7 feet 1 inch in height. The object has a symbol of what appears to be the sun on it's support. When any mammal,
hereby referred to as "the subject", enters the space under the SCP-XXXX while the top of SCP-XXXX is directly exposed to the sun, they will begin to exhibit signs of severe heat stroke, regardless of precautions taken. Subjects demonstrate extreme fear of exiting the cover of the object, and will attempt to fight off any attempt to remove it from this space. Upon the subject being removed from this space, this affect dissipates. After this, SCP-XXXX's second affect begins.

Depending on how long the subject was under the object, along with the temperature of the room, subjects will develop first to fourth degree burns, always over the course of 30 seconds. This effect is more intense the longer the subject was under the umbrella. This affect does not occur if the air temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius.

SCP-XXXX was recovered after an emergency response to a 911 call in southern California, with records showing the caller to have reported that their husband had been "turned into a skeleton". SCP-XXXX was found and recovered by MTF-Iota-10 ("Damn Feds") when they arrived after having heard a recording of the call. All witnesses were given Class A amnestics and released. A cover story of a fire was released, and the body was cremated.
