An artists depiction of SCP-XXXX, found by Dr.█████ during SCP-093 'Yellow' test.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept under 24 hour surveillance at all times, using the foundation's naval forces. Research Site 45 and Research and Containment Site 43 are required to have two Richter scales on site running at all times. Each facility is also required to have 4 of the eight disks at any given time and are to switch between them annually. When an instance of SCP-XXXX is activated MTF Gamma-6 ("Deep Feeders") are to be notified and dispatched out to the activated instance.
Description: SCP-XXXX consists of eight similar entities, all appropriately named SCP-XXXX-1 through to SCP-XXXX-8. Each instance is located at the edges of the seven major tectonic plates, with SCP-XXXX-8 currently located at [REDACTED]. Every instance has a metallic structure that doesn’t appear to corrode even when submerged underwater, further testing and analysis of the unknown metal is underway. Each entity is an estimated 1.5-2km in height, with SCP-XXXX-8’s height being ██km. Every entity has a unique colour, with each colour being fairly blue.
The foundation has managed to acquire 8 disks over the years, with seven of them being linked to an instance of SCP-XXXX. Each disk is coloured identically to the instance it's linked to. When an instance is activated, a disk associated with the activated instance will emit a low humming noise and flash on and off periodically. The source of light is unknown and distances between an instance and a disk have no noticeable effects on the disk. The eighth disk was discovered by Dr. █████ when he was on his expedition through SCP-093, during the ‘Yellow’ test. Along with the disk he brought back an artist's depiction of SCP-XXXX, this is theorized to have been created during the late 1400’s, but this might be inaccurate as the painting was created on another earth. The means of how or when these were created is also unknown.
When a major earthquake is imminent, an instance (or instances in some situations) of SCP-XXXX will emerge from the water and then dive back into the water, in an attempt to either clamp together or separate the tectonic plates, in order to lessen the effects of the earthquake. This does however introduce tsunamis in various sizes, due to the displacement of the water when XXXX moves, it causes these reactions. This can be further problematic if multiple instances are activated simultaneously. It is unknown the means of how instances predict and activate when an earthquake is imminent.
Addendum XXXX-1: During the 2004 Indian earthquake and tsunami, █ instances of XXXX were activated. It is predicted that if it was not for them activating, an earthquake of ██.█ magnitude would have occurred, the highest to ever be recorded if it happened. Due to multiple instances of SCP-XXXX activating, it has led to severe flooding as well as major tsunamis.
Addendum XXXX-2: On the 15/6/██43 a large underwater volcanic eruption took place at [REDACTED], SCP-XXXX-8 was activated as well as it’s disk and was soon located at the volcano, XXXX-8 was seen traveling through the water to what appeared as the crater of the volcano. Shortly after this it was reported by research staff that the other 7 disks activated. They were later seen at the volcano. Once XXXX-8 was entering the volcano, the other 7 instances submerged and started to break the cone of the volcano. This is theorized to have been done to introduce water into the volcano and cool the upper sections. After this, SCP-XXXX-8 hasn’t been seen again and is supposedly still in the volcano, but this might be false as there is no way to monitor its movements currently.
Addendum XXXX-3: Several months after the volcanic eruption, the 7 instances of SCP-XXXX have ceased to function, as they appeared to have not activated when an earthquake of ██.█ magnitude occurred. Research into reactivating SCP-XXXX is undergoing, the harsh environment of the ocean is slowing down research. All 7 instances are still located at the volcano.
