SCP Idea - Spitballing

Item #: (——)

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-(-) is to be held inside of a Containment Unit at Site 30. The entrance to SCP-(-)'s specific room is to be monitored with the use of at least two security cameras, with commensurate watch-shifts to be assigned to Level 0 personnel, over the course of 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Any instance of unauthorized personnel accessing SCP-(-)'s Containment room is to be reported to the most immediately available Senior Researcher or Site Director.

Any object produced by SCP-(-) is to be labeled "SCP-(-)-1" or "SCP-(1)-1-MAKSUR", as necessary.

Any unauthorized use of SCP-(-) is to be treated with disciplinary action, and may warrant the implementation of Class A or B Amnestics, as necessary. Knowledge of SCP-(-)'s anomalous properties or potential is to only be divulged to those with Level 2 Clearance and above; any personnel working with SCP-(-) for the purposes of testing must go through extensive psychiatric and background checks. Any personnel with a history of psychosis, bi-polar disorder, depression, or violent tendencies are not to be assigned to this SCP.

Any amount of United States of America currency brought into SCP-(-)'s room without notice to the Senior Researcher present at any given time is to be confiscated, and the perpetrator: interrogated.

Description: SCP-(-) is an inanimate machine of similar construction to an airport security, x-ray baggage scanner. A computer console on one side of the conveyor belt appears to have been constructed in a style similar to many early 90s home computer monitors, with a commensurate "QWERTY" keyboard, but appears to lack a mouse. An on/off button is present to the left of this monitor.

It does not appear to require any power supply, and has been fully functional for a number of decades with no maintenance required.

When in its "off" state, SCP-(-)'s monitor will display a "screen-saver" in the form of an "infinity" symbol traveling along a steady trajectory across the screen. When turned on, the screen will display the words "Type what you most desire" in what seems to be "Agency" font. Below these words is a search-bar.

Typing the name of any physical object, real or fictional, will produce many search results and display distinguishing options. The use of the keyboard's "arrow" and "enter" keys is required to select an option, and once one is selected, the monitor will display a picture and a brief description of the object in question, and present to the user "yes / no" response inputs, along with the question: "Is this what you desire?".
Selecting the "no" option will cause the monitor to display the initial search "results". Selecting "yes" will cause the monitor to display the words "Please provide payment" along with a variable numbers and symbols, indicating a certain amount of money in U.S dollars.

At any point in this process, the user is able to press the "backspace" button and return to the search-bar screen. SCP-(-) has been found to be unable to produce any living organisms.

If an option is selected and the required amount of money is placed upon the "input" end of the conveyor belt, the machine will begin to function. On the "output" end of the machine, the object selected in the console's search engine will be produced.
While the object is being "constructed", the screen on the console will appear to turn off, but will return to the search-bar screen after the machine is finished its task. This process can take anywhere from five seconds to six days, depending on the object requested.

The amount of money demanded by SCP-(-) for any given object appears to be determined purely by the size and mass of the object requested by the user. An object under 5 kilograms will cost anywhere from one cent to ten dollars. An object that would be too large to reasonably pass through the machine, will cost upwards of 100 dollars and be produced in pieces, along with a detailed blue-print instruction manual on how to assemble the object. Instances of this persuasion, are labeled "SCP-(-)-1-MAKSUR".

How SCP-(-) produces any instance of SCP-(-)-1 or SCP-(-)-1-MAKSUR is unknown.

If an object requested by the user cannot be fully functional without a certain amount of appropriate "parts", SCP-(-) will produce exactly five of each. For example: if the user requests any type of firearm, SCP-(-) will, along with the weapon, produce a magazine with five bullets inside it, appropriate for the firearm in question.

If an object requested by the user is inherently harmful to human life, it will be produced inside of an appropriately-outfitted container. For example, when a request for "Mustard gas" is made, SCP-(-) will produce a glass bottle with an air-tight seal, with the substance in question inside of it.

Object History: SCP-(-) was discovered in the early 1950s. Initial notice of its existence was found in news reports of a local militia terrorizing a small town with the use of weaponry that no citizen should reasonably possess in such immense quantities. After the situation was contained by a Mobile Task Force, it was discovered that SCP-(-) was being used by this militia to mass-produce firearms.

SCP-(-) was quickly taken into custody, studied, and classified as Safe.

After Incident-(-)-A, decades later, SCP-(-)'s ability to fabricate fictional objects was discovered. It was reclassified as Euclid due to concerns over how the machine was able to seemingly be aware of the current Zeitgeist.
