Item #: SCP-4223

Object Class: Euclid Explained

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4223 is to be contained in a humanoid containment chamber measuring 8 meters wide and 3 meters tall. The chamber is to be constructed of an aluminum and tungsten alloy. There is to be a singular bed and window available within the chamber, but the window is to be concealed with a layer of aluminum alloy shutters which are only to be opened between the hours of 6:00 AM and 10:30 AM. No personnel are to enter the chamber outside of these hours, and monitoring will be done through a series of CCTV cameras placed on each wall of the chamber.

Description: SCP-4223 is a humanoid robotic entity created by Anderson Robotics. SCP-4223 is 157.7 cm tall and weighs roughly 70 kilograms. It possesses the ability to phase through space at random. This anomaly is only counteracted by the presence of aluminum and tungsten alloy. SCP-4223 has also been observed phasing into inhabited space, resulting in the displacement of SCP-4223 matter, presumably within the object it phased into. More tests are required to understand what causes SCP-4223 to phase to where it does.

D-Class Test Subjects are not to enter the chamber during the hours of 12:00 AM and 5:59 AM due to SCP-4223 showing signs of increased phase activity within these hours. If a subject was to enter between these hours, they should ensure that they are not within the direct path of SCP-4223 or it's temporal displacement.1 Subjects caught within this displacement will have their matter displaced to make room for SCP-4223, and will often perish as a result. Matter that is displaced is sent to an unknown location. Current testing shows this matter may reside within a pocket dimension that SCP-4223 can access at will. This pocket dimension is also the accepted theory to explain how SCP-4223 phases.

Staff who wish to test upon SCP-4223 must obtain clearance from Site Director ██████, and must also prepare a testing chamber consisting of at least 20 kilograms of aluminum and tungsten alloy.

This entity is not recorded to be directly hostile, but will defend itself through calculated retreats while under threat, whether this threat is another entity or a member of researching staff. SCP-4223 has, however, been recording to kill small animals who are placed within it's chamber. The reasons for this aggression are currently unknown.

SCP-4223 must not under any circumstance be exposed to SCP-9142, SCP-6823, or SCP-106.4


Addendum 28.2.2038: Additional testing upon SCP-4223 has shown that the entity is weakened in the presence of an aluminum and tungsten alloy. Containment procedures and the descriptions of SCP-4223 have been updated accordingly. -Junior Researcher ██████ Irwin.

Addendum 13.3.2039: While testing on SCP-4223, the entity stopped responding to stimulation by researchers. The entity then turned towards Researcher ████████ Benocci and began to speak. A transcript of it's speech is recorded below:
TRANSCRIPT - (12.3.2039):
[SCP-4223]: Good afternoon, Mr. Benocci.
[Benocci]: to Researcher Irwin Has it been recording speaking before?
[SCP-4223]: No, Mr. Benocci, it is not the entity speaking to you.
[Benocci]: May I ask who exactly is speaking, then?
[SCP-4223]: I am not going to state my name, for my protection of course. The main thing you must know about me is that I am a representative of Anderson Robotics, and you are in possession of something that belongs to us. The entity in front of you is one of our newest models, the GC17 Infiltrator class scouting robot. Now, the reason I am telling you any of this is in hopes that you will return this entity to us at once.
[Benocci]: This entity is potentially dangerous. It is within the Foundation's best interest for it to remain here. As such, we will not be relinquishing it to you.
[SCP-4223]: I assure you Doctor, this creation will remain in good hands. All GC17 Infiltrators are regularly maintained and tested to ensure that their operation remains smooth. As you can probably infer from your research, this one is damaged. We can not control it remotely or command it to return to us. As such, it is also unpredictable. I'm sure dealing with re-containment will inevitably become overwhelming as the GC17 moves around your facility. I feel now is also a good time to mention that these units also function as data collection units. In the short time this one has been in your facility, it has collected some very detailed reports, including some of the other anomalies you have contained in this facility.
[Benocci]: What are you getting at here? I'm sick of dancing around the point.
[SCP-4223]: My point, Doctor, is that you are up against a metaphorical wall here. You can either willingly hand over this unit, or we can upload the reports publicly. We are aware of your tendency to erase the memories of those who are not in the "need-to-know" category, but we assure this information leak will be quite troublesome for you and your associates. What will it be, Doctor?
[Benocci]: I am not at liberty to make this decision. I must confer with my team and the resident Director regarding this development.
[SCP-4223]" Thank you Doctor, I was beginning to believe that we were going to have to take it by force.
Transmission ends.

Addendum 3.13.2038:
The decision has been made to hand this anomaly back to Anderson Robotics, after we have ensured that all sensitive Foundation data has been erased. SCP classification has been updated to Explained. Approved by Site Director ██████
