Description.
This object takes the form of a stainless steel frying pan, 27.94 centimetres in diameter, with the word “SODA” written on it in red. It seemingly has no intent to kill but is highly dangerous.
Behaviour.
The object has a regular behavioural pattern of flying at very high speeds between walls. Its speed is between 540 and 560 kilometres per hour. It also has the ability to phase through walls thinner than its full length (estimated to be around 50 centimetres). The object has a temperature of 157.09 degrees Celsius. It can cut through almost any material, including bone, and is known to decapitate humans. It has been recorded to have existed in the wild since the 1970s, although its origins are disputed.
Sightings and capture.
The first known sighting was at the Chernobyl nuclear plant 17th December 1976. A worker reported seeing a frying pan with ‘some English letters’ on it flying around the plant’s generator. It seriously damaged several walls of the reactor and severed the arm of one worker. This incident was hushed up in the USSR and only declassified in 1992 when Foundation officials searched the libraries of Kiev, Ukraine for leads to any SCPs. The Foundation instantly recognised this as an SCP and sent officials to search the Chernobyl area for the object. After seven months of searching, the search was called off and the files were archived. It was given a designation – SCP 4752 – and a small team was tasked with looking for it.
The team made little progress until the March 11th 2011, when the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster occurred. An object looking similar to SCP 4752 was filmed flying around the generator building by an amateur news team. The footage was later bought by the Foundation and classified. The team developed a hypothesis – SCP 4752 was attracted to magnets. They set up an electromagnet in rural Japan, in ███████ prefecture, with similar strength to the generator at Fukushima and 17 hours later captured the pan. After a few days the batteries of the electromagnet began to run dry, so the team started the emergency construction of a facility to hold the pan in.
Within a week construction was complete and the pan was lowered into a vault 200 meters underground, with 4 meter thick titanium walls. There was an adjoining facility later constructed to house around forty scientists to study 4752.
Containment.
4752 is extremely hard to contain. At the facility it has killed fifty workers and an estimated 300 D-class personnel in experiments. It is kept in a cube of titanium, three by three by three meters, and can be magnetically fixed in place if required. However, this often leads to blackouts of the Japanese power grid so it must be well coordinated with other facilities in Japan using the power grid. It is not known how it moves, nor why, but it can be influenced by even the smallest magnets. As a result of this, no magnets are allowed within the facility. It often rips out chunks of its cube, and as such the cube’s interior must be replaced every year. Any attempt to photograph the object has failed, often violently, due to magnets within the cameras used. A scientist likened it to a frying pan he possessed, but this is unconfirmed.
Experiments.
D-class personnel experiments.
In this experiment five D-class personnel were brought into 4752’s cube and left there for several days. Over the course of these five days 4752 killed every D-class, most by decapitation at high speeds. This was repeated several times, with differences, such as the D-class personnel wearing magnetic ‘talismans’, the D-class personnel holding bacon, ect. Every D-class sent into the cube was killed.
Magnetic field experiment.
A small electromagnet was activated in the cube by a scientist while the magnetic containment field was activated. The scientist was instantly decapitated, and the resulting power drain from the containment field’s electromagnets was enough to black out all of Japan for half an hour.
Electricity generator experiment.
This was a failed project to turn the movement of 4752 into cheap power. A large magnet was fitted around the cube, as well as several turbines that would be powered by the movement of 4752 around its chamber. Once the magnets were installed an initial surge of power was produced, but 4752 started to carve out chunks of the cube at a much higher rate than usual. This was discovered when more D-class personnel were sent in to look at the cube, and they reported many fragments of metal on the ground. The experiment was shut down and the facility was evacuated while the cube was repaired. The cost of powering the containment field for the five hours it took to repair the cube was estimated to have cost the Japanese government over £2,300,000.
Conclusion.
4752 is currently not harming anyone, as the experiments have ceased. However, the yearly upkeep of its facility is severely impacting the foundation, so further attempts to monetise it have been approved. The foundation MUST block all attempts to bring large magnets within a few miles of the facility.
This is a frying pan similar to 4752, lacking the word "SODA".
