Special Containment Procedure: SCP-XXX is to be kept in a locked box attached to the wall at all times, and since all items that appear are meant for survival, it can only be accessed by level 2 Personnel or higher. No personnel are to pull the lever of SCP-XXX for self-indulgent or selfish reasons because SCP-XXX does not give a sign as when to be used.
Description: SCP-XXX is a basic lever fire alarm with the word “fire” written on the middle part of the front panel. SCP-XXX is composed of plastic and metal, with no anomalous signs to be shown from their composition. Many manifestations have occurred, which have all been contained and kept in different facilities for containment and convenience purposes.
When a subject is in state of emergency or panic, they will feel compelled to pull the lever of SCP-XXX, and when they do, an item will materialize by anomalous means. The subject, at this point, will feel a small sense of attachment to the object, feeling as if it were important, with the compulsion of keeping it near or on their person. Once pulled, the subject will not be able to pull it again until the object given has accomplished its purpose, and even if they try, a mental barrier seems to be in effect while in possession of an SCP-XXX object, now referred to as SCP-XXX-1.
SCP-XXX-1 are usually nonanomalous in nature, taking the form of an item in our known existence, ranging to as simple as a nail to as complex as a gun. When SCP-XXX-1 is brought into existence, an occasion will arrive where it will be used, whether if it would have happened originally or brought upon the subject by the item, and if not used, the subject may be harmed or killed as a consequence. Once said task is completed, the item will banish, allowing another pull of the switch. SCP-XXX-1 can exist from 5 minutes to 10 years without said occasion arriving. A sign of when that occasion arrives is currently under research, but when the subject has SCP-XXX-1 on them and the occasion arrives, the subject will usually act surprised of the presence of SCP-XXX-1 and use it. Most test subjects, after said occasion arriving say that how to use SCP-XXX-1 properly just appeared into their heads, how this happens is unknown.
Experiment: Told D-3253 that he will be shot at the end of testing.
Object received: A bullet-proof vest.
Results: Subject was not shot at the end of testing, but misfired shots hit the vest, this causing SCP-XXX-1 to dematerialize, having completed its purpose.
Experiment: Dr.Michell pulled the lever in hopes of receiving an item that will impress his crush.
Object received: A PowerPuff Girl branded pen.
Results: Dr. Michell did not know what to do with it, so he threw it away. Later, Dr. Kals received the same pen from another person and instantly felt attracted to him. Dr. Michell took up therapy after this event.
Experiment: Told D-3376 to pull the lever without thinking and keep the item on her at all times.
Object received: A black woolen beanie.
Results: On the last day of D-3376 (before termination), she hit her head against the corner of a corridor, which would have been a fatal blow, but was cushioned by the beanie.
Experiment: Told D-3251 that he needed to find a bat for the next week or a knife for the next month or he will get terminated.
Object received: Bat
Results: Bat was given the next week and dematerialized.
Notes: SCP-XXX seems to prioritize date rather than importance.
Notes: This was the result of a scrapped experiment; D-7863 received a pocket knife from SCP-XXX and was confiscated moments after. A few weeks pass and the subject is assigned to clean SCP-173’s chamber. The lights flicker as he is inside it and two D-Class die within the chamber, D-7863 was saved due to the cameras turning on quicker than expected.
Results: After numerous experiments, it has been concluded that the subject may not die when in possession of SCP-XXX-1 item, though this does not mean they cannot get hurt. This effect usually manifests as coincidence. The item does not have to be on the person for this effect to work.
Notes: Dr. Jeremy, a level 3 researcher, was caught in the CI raid that occurred on August 28, 20██. He went and got to SCP-XXX’s containment chamber and pulled the lever, the item he received was a bundle of different sized hairpins.
[Begin Log]
Dr. Jeremy: So how’s your da-
CI Insurgent: GO GO GO! Leave no one alive!
Dr. Jeremy: Ok, time to go.
Doctor Jeremy then proceeds to SCP-XXX’s chamber locking the doors on the way to it.
Dr. Jeremy: Alright, you are meant for emergencies and an emergency with an insurgency I have. What do you got for me!
Doctor Jeremy pulls the lever.
Dr. Jeremy: A pack of hairpins? How am I supposed to use this?
D-Class finds Doctor Jeremy and shoots him in the thigh, stealing his key card and locking him inside SCP-XXX’s chamber.
Dr. Jeremy: Fuck… I thought I was technically immortal for the time being… so how do I get out. (Thinks for a minute). OH!
Dr. Jeremy then takes one hairpin and manipulates the lock, letting him free from the containment chamber. He uses each hairpin for each door he locked, while somehow avoiding the CI. An MTF unit was sent and encountered him first.
Results: SCP-XXX-1 are sometimes inexplicably used in certain ways that make no applicable sense. An occasion itself does not have to be single use only. The security of the locks in Site-██ has been reinforced.
