Item #: Scp-5056

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5056 is to be contained in a locked box laced with SCP-128 inside of a containment chamber at Site-76. Ice will form on the walls of the containment chamber of SCP-5056 when it is dormant. To prevent this, the containment chamber must be well-ventilated and be kept at the between 40 and 50 Celsius, and is allowed to be lowered to no cooler than 21 Celsius for the purposes of testing. An armed guard is to remained stationed outside of the chamber at all times, and must enter the chamber in the event of hostile actions by SCP-5056-1. The containment chamber is to be lined with a material that is immune to thermal shock. Personnel with Level 3 clearance and above may perform testing upon SCP-5056-1/-2, but under no circumstances is the durability of the mask to be tested without the Site Commander's permission.

Description: SCP-5056 is a brown ceremonial mask made of Zitan wood, that despite being cracked in several places retains its functions. The current dimensions of SCP-5056 measure at 25cm x 10cm, and there are fragments of Nephrite in an inconsistent pattern spread on the surface of the SCP. There are several indentations that are believed to be where fragments of Nephrite would have belonged. Reconstruction shows that the combined fragments would have spelled out a Chinese symbol for water. SCP-5056 was found in Sichuan province, China, after a series of crimes by an instance of SCP-5056-1 involving excessive usage of ice. The instance of SCP-5056-1 was terminated and SCP-5056 was acquired.
