SCP 3653
"scale staircase"
Object class: Euclid
Containment procedures:
SCP 3653 is contained within a 5m by 4.5m by 3m container made of
1.125cm thick steel. Door to container is .7 by 1.6 meters and requires
6 digit passkey and level 3 level 4 keycard to unlock. lock mechanism
for any future container must be electromagnetic attachment.
The container for SCP 3653 must be suspended 25 meters from the floor
and ceiling of the room, on steel girders at least 785 cm across. annual
maintenance must be done to fix warps in the suspension and/or enclosure.
Under no circumstances should any unauthorized objects be within
a 25 meter vicinity of SCP 3653.
There must be a catwalk to access the container door made of lead gilded
Steel. Container is currently within a room which requires two agents,
and one level 4 personnel at control and one agent at the entrance, within heavy
containment zone.
Description: staircase that changes its own size and that of any
objects on it relative to each flight. Each flight up is ten times
larger than the previous flight, each flight down is 1/10 the size.
The staircase appears to be much larger than the shack it is
"inside". the sides of the staircase seem to be lined with an
invisible wall.
After each flight there is a plaftorm which rotates the staircase
by 90°.
On each side of the staircase there are invisible walls which prevent
from reaching over the side. The walls do not appear in any wavelength
of electromagnetic radiation observed(see experiment 5). Within
SCP 3653 there are no visible objects besides the staircase,
SCP 3653-A, and SCP 3653-1.
Objects in the region within 25 meters of SCP 3653 will become
misshapen and warped. Within regions closer to the SCP they
become misshapen at quicker rate.
Discovered ██/██/200█
After reports in ████████, New York of several civilians coming out
of the nearby forest in a gawked/terrified manner speaking of things that
were "not belonging in this reality" a foundation agent took notice.
█ agents were dispatched disguised as wildlife management services
into the forest. The team found a cabin ███ meters away from
█████████. The flora near SCP 3653 appeared misshapen and was dying.
The cabin had unusual properties as it was indestructible,
even though it appeared to be made of wood. when agent ██████
opened the door to SCP 3653 he expressed [DATA EXPUNGED].
It took ██ months for a window to open to move SCP 3653 to site 19.
Addendum A
Because of SCP 3653's properties, several experiments explorations, and interviews of SCP 3653-1 have
been conducted.
Experiment 1 ██/██/2009
Experiment 2 ██/██/2009
Experiment 3 ██/██/2009
Experiment 4 ██/██/2010
Experiment 5 ██/██/2011
Interview 1 ██/██/2011
Exploration 1 ██/██/2012
Exploration 2 ██/██/2012
Exploration 3 [DATA EXPUNGED]
[DATA EXPUNGED]
Addendum B
Along the sides of SCP 3653 there are to scale representations of
several objects of various sizes (SCP 3653 A) including:
Microbes
insects
marbles
hair
mice
molecules
etc
These objects seem to levitate beyond the walls of SCP 3653.
SCP 3653-A will not change size relative to SCP 3653.
Addendum C
psychological effects.
SCP 3653 causes observers to feel a sense of terror and
become overwhelmed with confusion and hysteria.
This causes subjects to be strongly inclined to exit
SCP 3653.
Addendum D
Within SCP 3653 resides SCP 3653-1. SCP 3651-1 Appears to be a
humanoid figure approximately 221.3 cm tall with unkown mass.
It is seen wearing a black lined suit with a black tie and
black pants, each of unkown origin. The facial features of
SCP 3653-1 resemble that of a pale adult male of approximately
60 years of age. SCP 3653 claims to be the creator of
SCP 3653.
When SCP 3653 is asked about it's origin or is asked to exit
SCP 3653 it becomes hostile for 150 seconds and begins [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP 3653-1
will not pursue subjects outside SCP 3653.
When SCP 3653-1 becomes hostile the door to SCP 3653
shall be closed immediately.
Addendum E
At the presumed lower end of SCP 3653, 35 flights down is a solid black wall. (SCP 3653-B)
Every 1-2.5 seconds semi transparent protusions briefly extend from SCP 3653-B.
Any object that crosses SCP 3653-B explodes at a magnitude of 10000 psi.

Item#: SCP-4586
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures
SCP-4586 is to be kept within a 7.85 x 7.85 x 4.65 m steel vault, 8.65 cm thick. Within the container must be at least two (2) monitoring devices The vault must have an airlock entryway with electromagnetic locking systems. In addition, the vault interior must be kept as a vacuum when no testing requiring it otherwise is in session. The container must be bolted down to the floor of the secondary room, dimensions 12.35 x 12.35 x 8.85 m which houses the metal vault. The vault is to be checked weekly for any open crevices, slits, cracks, or dents. Such ruptures are to be fixed as soon as possible, and the secondary room sealed off immediately until further notice. All maintenance is to be done by D-class wearing full seal hazmat suits (provided oxygen cylinders, not air filters), who are monitored by security personnel themselves wearing such hazard suits.
While testing is not in session, two security personnel are to be stationed at the control monitoring station, viewing CCTV and additional instruments' feeds for possible breaches of the cell. If any conveyance of SCP-4586's container being breached, level (3-4) personnel assigned to SCP-4586 must be informed of events.
Description
SCP-4586 has the appearance of a metallic sphere, with a diameter of 81.25 cm (when idle). The reflective index of SCP-4586 is similar to that of smooth Neodymium, though, the mass of SCP-4586, roughly 1685 kg, relative to its size contrasts such a notion of it being comprised of Neodymium. In addition, ultrasound and microwave inspections of SCP-4586's interior reveal it to be made of the surface material throughout the entirety of its interior.
SCP-4586 retains its spherical shape under all circumstances, even when under intense pressure within a hydraulic press, though it is capable of absorbing objects when under its active state(s). When SCP-4586 absorbs such objects, its diameter increases, as to compensate for displaced matter, though shows no sign of impact with such objects.
In addition, if objects are left within SCP-4586 for extended periods of time, SCP-4586's diameter retracts, and said object vanishes. Furthermore, when in contact with an object far too large to be ensnared within SCP-4586, or objects enclosing it, SCP-4586 will often make one attempt to engulf the object, then once failed, it will cease and make no further attempt to engulf said object. Expanding upon prev. statements, when SCP-4586 is met with a barrier harboring any holes or slits, such as grates, fences, breached solid walls, or other such objects, SCP-4586 is capable of passing through said barrier seemingly without slowed progression.
SCP-4586 remains docile when no organic life-forms harboring a central-nervous system are present within the same body of uninterrupted space as SCP-4586. For Example, when within a sealed container, with no said life-forms present, SCP-4586 is inactive. When such a life-form is introduced SCP-4586 enters its hostile state (further expanded upon in following paragraphs).
For cases when SCP-4586 is in open air, there appears to be a range at which SCP-4586 'detects' any organisms meeting said criteria. It is assumed that SCP-4586's method of 'detecting' organisms is impeded by the presence of matter. Therefore, a thick, solid barrier, enclosing entirely SCP-4586 fully inhibits its method(s) of detecting targets. Note: This does not occur for barriers which do not fully enclose SCP-4586. Furthermore, when possible targets are enclosed within airtight containers, wearing airtight suits, or otherwise fully enclosed in airtight barriers, SCP-4586 cannot detect or has difficulty detecting and locating such possible targets.
As such, it is also believed that vast amounts of fluids or gases between SCP-4586 and its targets inhibits its detection and locating methods.
SCP-4586's activities are dictated by which state it is in, docile or hostile. While docile, SCP-4586 appears to not directly attack anything, but will wander aimlessly around the floor of its vault. At times, SCP-4586 will charge and launch itself at the walls or ceiling of its container, this activity does not appear to be in a hostile manner, but it is capable of damaging its container when activity is left unchecked.
SCP-4586's behavior ,when docile, appears to reduce in intensity when clutter, dust, gas, or other such masses are not present (hence its vacuum chamber vault, and cleanliness protocol).
SCP-4586's attack pattern composes of three (3) major stages.
The First stage being detection, occurs when certain criteria, explained before, are met. SCP-4586 immediately reacts by propelling itself toward, or in the least resistant path leading to the target, with speeds recorded to be approximately 38 m/s. The means by which it does this is unknown.
Once reaching the target, SCP-4586 latches onto the target's limbs, enveloping the joints at which they contact the torso or pelvis. While within that process, SCP-4586 completely, and cleanly, severs said limb off the target. There are no signs of bone fracture or torn tissue around the affected area, and microscopic analysis shows that the cut is more precise than the width of the individual cells, where cells are clipped within themselves, rather than rupturing at the seams. The process by which SCP-4586 accomplishes this is unknown, as the process occurs beneath the surface of SCP-4586 and is thus not visible (microwave and ultrasound inspections reveal there is no surface which severs said limb, but rather a section of the limb simply disappears nearly instantaneously). SCP-4586 has been observed to sever a minimum of (1) limb, to a maximum of (5) limbs, with an average of (~1.5) per individual target, after which it ceases attacking until further targets are detected, and stands idle. Individuals who have survived encounters with SCP-4586 convey that when the appendage is severed, the feeling of pain is similiar to that of abrupt piercing. Where the manner in which it pierces is similiar to that of an extremely heavy object with a thin cross-section abruptly landing upon the severed area and instantaneously severing it from the body.
Addendum A; Recovery Logs & Interviews Info
Recovery & Apprehension Summary
SCP-4586 was first observed in the arctic ice surrounding ███████████████, Svalbard, Norway on ██/██/200█. SCP-4586 had been frozen in the ice, 3 m below the surface, and was observed by a Norwegian arctic crew unaffiliated with the foundation, which went missing. █ years later in ██/██/200█, the group's mutilated bodies were found preserved in the area, with many of their limbs having been severed. Foundation personnel got word of the discovery and sent recovery team Golf-11-A and Golf-11-B to investigate and possibly recover any anomalous objects found. Recovery teams Golf-11-A and Golf-11-B were transported via two (2) UH-6M Black-hawks to the area. The following is an audio recording of an interview of Captain ███████:
[Captain ███████ and Dr. █████ enter interview room 129-B at Site-██, chairs can be heard moving]
Captain ███████: "We had been given orders to investigate the north-western region of ███████████████, Svalbard, Norway. The info that the field technicians had gathered was mostly useless to us, which made our secondary objective difficult to accomplish, as we had no leads to go on."
Dr. █████: "What were your secondary and primary objectives?"
Captain ███████: "Our primary objective was simple enough, grab the bodies and bring them back to be investigated. Our secondary task however, was to identify what had occurred and why."
Dr. █████: "So, you didn't know all that much before you landed."
Captain ███████: "Yeah, we basically went in blind. We had no idea if the researchers had their arms and legs simply frostbitten and fallen off, or if their legs were torn off by trolls. Eventually we landed at the sight of the researchers camp. [pauses]"
Dr. █████: "Go on."
Captain ███████: "When we got there, we saw the bodies, well two of them to be exact. There was frozen blood and fluids everywhere around the scene, but no gore, just their missing limbs. The lads had their legs cut off at the base of their fucking thighs! Through the strongest part of their femurs! It wasn't like it was torn off or something, it was as if a 5 ton steel beam fell and landed precisely at their joints. One of them was missing his left arm, which was severed in the same manner as the legs." [pauses] "Regardless, my team and I were inspecting the scene, while Golf-11-B searched the surrounding area. About 45 minutes later ,Corporal Morgans had put the two bodies on a table in a makeshift aid station we had pitched, and our medic was performing a makeshift autopsy to investigate exactly what could have caused the injuries."
"Around that time, my team an I were sent out to investigate the surrounding area. . After seeing nothing for about a half hour, one of my colleagues found A few more bodies. They were maimed in a similar manner to the corpses we found before, limbs having been cut clean off their sockets."
Dr. █████: "I presume that it was the same instance of frozen blood and fluid, the severed limbs, but the scene entirely devoid of gore."
Captain ███████: "Yeah, one of them was missing one leg, and the other was missing a leg, two arms, and his head." "His spinal cord, esophagus, and neck vertbrae were cut completely clean, as if all simultaneously clipped by a single plane. The only irregularities on the surface were frozen clots of blood, and spinal fluid."
Dr. █████: "So, what happened next?"
Captain ███████: "One of my colleagues, lietenant ███████, called over. 'Said he had noticed some irregular formation in the ice—

Item#: SCP-4892
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
Description:
SCP-4892 is a set of nine (9) metal cornrow bands, and a ring, each measuring approx 2.35 cm in diameter. SCP-4892-(1&2) instances appear to have fine engravings along their perimeter. These engravings are devoid of curves, rather having sharp 90 degree or 45 degree angles. SCP-4892 instances are contained within a small metal braced 10 x 18 x 8 cm wooden box , of which indentations are made to house each instance. The appearance and texture of SCP-4892 instances convey it to be composed of a dense, dark indigo metal of unknown origin. Within SCP-4892-3 are three (3) additional ingots of the metal composing SCP-4892-(1&2) instances, measuring 4.85 x 2 x 2 cm dimensions.
