Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a glass cubic box (2.5m x 2.5m x 2.5m). Level 1 clearance is needed to access SCP-XXXX but supervision from a security member is also required.
Class-D testing is authorised. Class-D personnel must wear SCP-XXXX and note down any immediate effects upon wearing SCP-XXXX. Once SCP-XXXX is taken off, physical examinations will be needed to see any change in the subject's health.
Class-D testing is no longer permitted. SCP-XXXX is to only be accessed for janitorial servicing.
SCP-XXXX must be cleaned bimonthly (once every two months) with a sodium bicarbonate solution to prevent copper corrosion or oxidation. Security personnel must supervise any janitors cleaning SCP-XXXX.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a Spartan helmet that is assumed to be used during the Battle of Thermopylae (400 BCE). SCP-XXXX is made of a copper substance and was discovered in an archeological site in Laconia, Greece (located in the Peloponnese peninsula).
SCP-XXXX is a volatile anomaly. Once a person wears SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX will release a sharp blade (hidden within the backside of itself) down the neck of the subject, merely touching the cervical spinal cord. Attempting to remove SCP-XXXX will result in the spine being severed from SCP-XXXX's blade. This will paralyse the subject and cause blood loss, slowly killing the subject.
SCP-XXXX has been relocated to [DATA EXPUNGED] in Site-16 as of June 2021.
Addendum:
Incident XXXX-1:
When SCP-XXXX was first put into containment in Site-16, a test involving a Class-D and Dr. Lanktorn (senior research member) was scheduled on [REDACTED]. The test resulted in the death of Subject D-4721. A video log of the test has been recovered recently:
