Distortion Marble-MeargleSchmeargle

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept within a locked, shock-absorbant 1×1×1 inch cubic storage container when not being tested. All tests regarding SCP-XXXX requires approval of two level 3 personnel.
It is forbidden to test SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects inside foundation sites without express permission of site overseer due to concerns of object-induced structural integrity issues leading to potential containment breaches.

Containment Update: After D subject test resulted in said D subject's disfigurement and death, no personnel are permitted to throw or toss SCP-XXXX at other personnel. (See test log XXXX-B)

Description: SCP-XXXX is a spherical opaque black glass marble ball measuring 16 mm in diameter. Anomalous properties are activated when the marble collides with a solid object moving at a minimum speed of 5 feet per second. Upon collision, the marble embeds itself into the solid object the with the exposed point on the marble being perpendicular to the solid object's surface. Changing the traveling speed of the marble to any point beyond 5 feet per second does not alter how marble is embedded in object or cause damage to the object.
After 3 seconds of being embedded, SCP-XXXX morphs into a smooth, hollow ring with a basal diameter equivalent to the diameter of the original marble form with a depth also equivalent to marble form's original diameter. The ring's diameter then radially expands to 100 times its original measurements over the duration of 10 seconds, forcing any surrounding solid matter to radially distort and creating a perfect, 1.6 meter diameter circlular depression that is 16 mm deep.
After the ring holds this shape and size for 30 seconds, it reverts back SCP-XXXX's original marble size and shape. The circular distortion left in the solid object by SCP-XXXX is permanent until filled with more solid matter or object's structural integrity is compromised.

Addendum XXXX-01: Foundation Acquisition

SCP-XXXX was first discovered in ████, Georgia in 19██ when a homeowner in the area reported that a marble in her collection was dropped to the floor resulting in a circular hole in her floor. Foundation personnel arrived at the homeowner's property and took SCP-XXXX. The homeowner was questioned on where she obtained SCP-XXXX, the homeowner claiming to have found it while rockhounding in the local area. Personnel then repaired damages to the home caused by SCP-XXXX after administering Class A amnesiacs to all involved civilians to cover up the event. SCP-XXXX was brought to Site-██ for containment.

Addendum XXXX-02: Test Log

+ Test Log XXXX

[
Test XXXX-A - Dates: 5/9/19██

Subject: D-02810
Tests: SCP-XXXX was taken to an off-site testing area to prevent any structural damage to Site-XX, per request of the site overseer. D-02810 was instructed the throw SCP-XXXX at a concrete wall in the testing area. D-02810 complies, and throws SCP-XXXX at the wall. This is repeated with walls made from stainless steel and wood.
Results: SCP-XXXX becomes embedded in the concrete wall, much to the confusion of D-02810. SCP-XXXX morphs into ring form and expands, and then returns to its original state. A perfectly circular indentation 16 mm deep and 1.6 meters in diameter is left in the concrete, with visible distortion marks in the surrounding concrete Similar results with steel and wooden material.
Note: It is interesting how SCP-XXXX affected all solid materials in almost the same fashion effortlessly. Studies into why this occurs have been inconclusive. I can only imagine all the possibilities of how this thing can be used.

**Test XXXX-B- Date: 7/20/19██ **

Subjects:D-9701 and D-7066
Procedure: D-9701 instructed to throw SCP-XXXX at D-7066. D-9701 complies, throwing SCP-XXXX and hitting D-7066 in the center of his breastplate.
Results: SCP-XXXX embeds itself into D-7066's breast plate, causing D-7066 to scream, falling to the ground and writhing in pain. SCP-XXXX then morphs into its expanded phase, rupturing numerous blood vessels, tearing off most of the subject's skin, breaking numerous bones, and severely damaging most vital organs. D-7066 pronounced deceased on site. D-9701 displayed severe psychological distress upon witnessing the event. D-9701 referred to a psychiatric unit.
Note: I think it's needless to say after this test that you shouldn't be playing catch with this thing. You make one slip-up, and you can bet your ass that you or somebody else is gonna get turned into a holy man. This does however pose the interesting thought of potentially replicating SCP-XXXX for use as a potential weapon. Something like that could be very effective, if a little gruesome.

**Test XXXX-C- Date: 3/10/19██ **

Subject: Dr.█████
Procedure: Dr.█████ has a 1 meter diameter pool that is 0.5 meters deep completely filled at test site. Dr. █████ proceeds to throw marble into the water.
Results: SCP-XXXX has no effect. Procedure is repeated 10 times without producing SCP-XXXX's expanding effect.
Note: So this thing doesn't do anything when it hits a body of water. Maybe submerging SCP-XXXX in water could be another method of effective containment if needed.
