Special Containment Procedures: SCP-6000 cannot be contained. Any attempts made by SCP-6000 to attack must be met with brute force.

Description: SCP-6000 is a pool of lava on the side of the Mauna Loa volcano, approximately 50 meters big. It contains a sentient entity designated as SCP-6000-A. SCP-6000-A doesn't seem to be stuck to SCP-6000. It can move around the whole volcano, although not farther than the bottom of the volcano. It can take lava from SCP-6000 and use it to make bodies for it to inhabit. It's extremely hostile towards many people who get too close to it, with only two exceptions: It won't attack passerby, or people who aren't trying to bother it.

If anyone does attempt to bother it, SCP-6000-A will incinerate them immediately, leaving nothing but ash. Attempts to politely ask it for an interview haven't faired well, either, as it has little patience for those who continue to attempt to ask for an interview, and it will get to the point that SCP-6000-A will incinerate them as well.

SCP-6000-A can apparently sense what's going on in the world, being able to see things on the other side of Earth. It's attacking range also seems to encapsulate the entire planet. Luckily, it does not seem to be able to cause Mauna Loa to erupt.

Addendum: Multiple tests can been conducted with SCP-6000-A. They are listed below.

Experiment A: Letters containing positive things were dropped into SCP-6000 to see how SCP-6000-A responded. SCP-6000-A was then seen tossing the letters back out of the pool, completely unscathed.

Experiment B: 50 gallons of water were dumped into SCP-6000. The water didn't do anything to the lava, and SCP-6000-A incinerated everybody involved in dumping the water.

Experiment C: D-4647¹ was sent to ask SCP-6000-A to play a game with it. SCP-6000-A didn't respond. After D-4647 headed back, he was terminated by other personnel there. SCP-6000-A then incinerated everybody involved in the test and D-4647 was reported to have been reincarnated as an entity similar to SCP-457.

Experiment D: A dog was sent over to SCP-6000 with supervision. SCP-6000-A didn't respond.

Experiment E: A wired-guide missile was shot at SCP-6000 from about 100 kilometers away. Thanks to cameras placed near SCP-6000, it is known that SCP-6000-A threw the missile back at the launch site, and would've killed everyone there if it wasn't for said cameras.

No more experiments of SCP-6000 are to be conducted.

1. A new policy was made so that the D-Class numbers could only be a number between 1000 and 9999. if a D-Class dies, then that D-Class' number becomes open for assigning to another D-Class.
