SCP-####, Safely Photographed from Above
Item #: SCP-####
Threat Level: Red
Containment Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-#### is stored in a reinforced cone-shaped glass case of 7 meters in diameter located in the center of a 10x10 meters square shaped storage room. A warning red circle of 5,76 meters in diameter has been painted on the floor inside the glass case in order to help the maintenance crew. Large digital clocks have been placed on all four walls of the storage room and maintenance crew must make sure to check their charge and general status every time they perform maintenance. While access to the SCP-#### can be considered safe for informed personnel, newcomers should be strictly briefed about it's effects before attempting to perform any sort of experiment. Cleaning maintenance should be performed every 24 days, two times in the same day with the first cleaning crew taking care of one half then the second crew taking care of the other to avoid incidents, all cleaning personnel must be strictly briefed about the potential danger.
Description: SCP-#### is a bronze antique clock, attempts at exploring the inner mechanism trigger an alarm system and are therefore strictly forbidden (See Experiments, Log 1).
The clock works perfectly and hasn't required any type of mechanical maintenance nor winding since it was found in 1991. The larger hands moves normally once a minute has passed, while the shorter only moves to the next number once the hour has passed.
The time it's set at coincides with the timezone of the place where it was discovered. This should also be pointed out to all new maintenance crew.
SCP-#### performs 24 loud bell sounds every 1152 cycles, followed by the secretion of a small pool of thick black fluid from a small exhaust vent near it's bottom, analysis of the fluid indicates it's regular industrial grease. Causing the room to require it's routine cleaning every 24 days.
The shorter hand has demonstrated an unpredictable and extremely dangerous capability, whatever way it's pointing, a wedge-shaped area of 2,88 meters from the center of the clock (Calculated to be the clock's effect radius) will experience gravitational anomalies, altitude of the anomalies has been calculated to be 5,76 meters, only affecting the floor level where SCP-#### is situated, while the anomalies can be as unoffensive as just causing the affected person to float or fall down, both the initial transportation, experiment and maintenance crew experienced much more severe effects. While initially believed to be easily predictable depending on the hour (See Experiments, Log 2), SCP-####'s gravitational effects have proven to be completely random and therefore any further experimenting is ill advised.
Maintenance crew has repeatedly reported the longer has a slight effect when under it's radial area, causing them to feel a slight tingling on their limbs, "Like a small amount of electricity is running through my muscles" reported crewman D-█████ after routine maintenance, although medical tests were performed on all maintenance crew during the first five years SCP-#### was stored, the longer hand doesn't seem to cause any shorter nor longer effect, the crewmen testimony has been widely disregarded as natural unease due to the strict briefing they are mandated to go through before working on SCP-####'s routine cleaning.
Experiments Log
Log 1: Dr. █████ and two Class-D personnel attempted to disassemble the clock, given strict orders to keep attention of the time and placing two panels on the sides of three hours worth of it's effect area, so none of them would accidentally touch it. The experiment would end quickly, as right after Dr. █████ would attempt to open the Clock's cover a rapid succession of bell sounds began, and both hands started spinning rapidly, Dr. █████ would step back fast enough to avoid it's effects, but both crewmen D-█████ and D-█████ would end up experiencing repeated types of gravitational anomalies, with the first being first pounded into the ground with enough strength to break both of his shins, to then end up launched to the ceiling at a high enough speed his corpse would be embedded on it. The second crewman would levitate for a moment before a second anomaly crushed his entire body into a hair-thin form, similar to the theorized effects of "Spaghettification" cause by a black hole.
Log 2: Approval for further experimentation was given two years after the initial incident, Dr. █████ was once again in charge of leading it, chosing the end of 1152 cycles to surpervise it's routine cleaning while at the same time testing the anomalies' strength. Belief at the time was that the anomalies strength could be easily predicted depending on the hour, as the crewmen caught by the alarm system during the first routine cleaning were both on the area of effect of number 8 and 11 respectively. Dr. █████ would try to observe the small exhaust vent situated near the bottom from where the fluid would pour, while the cleaning crew worked on their routine duty.
In order to test the anomalies on their most powerful hour, Dr. █████ would throw a dice inside the effect area, which was instantly pulverized the moment it entered the effect radius. Similar experimenting would be performed on the first and second hours, when the anomalies were believed to be at their lowest, a solid cube of metal weighing 10 kilos was placed on the radius of the first hour, once it's effects started the cube began floating upwards slowly, like a bubble underwater. The object for the third test, in the second hour, was a sheet of paper, held by Dr. █████ and moved slowly into the area of effect, again it'd float, though only to a certain point when it'd then stay in place. The tests seemed so far to prove the clock's predictability. The final test during was performed using the same sheet of paper, Dr. █████ would once again move it slowly into the area of effect, this time though, as soon as the sheet reached the area of effect it was launched upwards at high velocity, too quickly for Dr. █████ to release it, pulling him inside the area of effect, initial seeming to disappear, slowed video footage would later show his body had been thrown too fast for anyone to realise, the corpse was crushed into a disc shape by the anomaly, which fell to the ground as the shorter hand moved and the anomaly effect ended.
Maintenance crew is strictly forbidden from moving the clock, due to it's effect radius moving.
SCP-#### was discovered in ██████████, Southeast Germany, it's original owner, Mr. █████, had been known by his neighbours to be a lonely and eccentric person, a retired clock maker and fixer. An abnormal time of absence led to the police searching the building where Mr. █████ lived, eventually discovering an studio and workshop set on the attic, shelves filled with both engineering and alchemy tomes, the clock was placed in the center of the room, and within number 12's radius of effect were the paper-thin crushed remains of what would later be found to be Mr. █████ body. The police on charge of examining the attic would later say the had been experiencing a slight levitation while examining the room, this would later be found out to be the effects of the clock, meaning the police in charge didn't experience a lethal anomaly out of pure luck.
Transportation of SCP-#### was arranged after the police investigation had concluded. Having not experienced any dangerous anomalies themselves the personnel in charge of transporting SCP-#### would board on an █████████ model helicopter. Audio recovered from the crash site would indicate the pilot had been affected lethally, the panic caused by the helicopter falling causing SCP-#### to fall and roll, causing the vehicle to be split into several piece before finally crashing. Recovery and testing was further performed before the approval of a second type of transportation, on a cargo container large enough to avoid a second catastrophe.
