SCP-5224
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5224 is to be held in the cave in which it was found until further containment procedures can be established. All efforts are to be made to prevent instances of SCP-5224-1 from accidentally floating out of the cave, and to prevent any non-Foundation personnel from locating or entering the cave. Containment staff are not to attempt to remove any instances of SCP-5224-1 from SCP-5224 without permission from Junior Researching staff or higher. First time infractions of this rule will result in a months docked pay, with any following infractions requiring staff in question to retake Foundation Standard Loyalty exams.
Description: SCP-5224 is a large, red, steel shipping container. Standard sized at 2.59m tall and 6.06m long. It has some chipped paint, and a small amount of rusting where it’s steel is exposed. The only visually notable thing about SCP-5224 is that it’s front right door hinge is damaged, causing the right door to hang down at approximately a 45 degree angle. The damage to the hinge seems to have been caused when the container was dropped into the sea in some unknown event, and was carried by tidal currents to it’s current resting place. There is however, some evidence that the latch holding the front doors shut may have been tampered with, showing signs of scoring and denting, typical of strikes from an ordinary hammer.
Inside of SCP-5224 is an as yet unknown quantity of landline telephones, referred to collectively as SCP-5224-1. Each one of the phones is modeled to resemble popular newspaper comic character, ████████. This particular model of phone was sold in the United States in the 1980s, and all instances of SCP-5224-1 would seem to be identical with the products sold during that time period. They are orange with black stripes, and the eyes of the modeled plastic exterior are usually closed. They will open, however, if the receiver is lifted from the phone’s base. SCP-5224 appears to have more of these phones inside of it than would reasonably fit in a container of it’s size.
On occasion, seemingly at random, one or more instances of SCP-5224-1 will fall out of SCP-5224. This happens whether or not SCP-5224 has been disturbed, but it is more likely if it is, and instances of SCP-5224-1 can be removed manually as well. Instances of SCP-5224-1 are always in perfect condition when removed from SCP-5224, as if they had been manufactured very recently. After removal though, they seem vulnerable to the same things that would damage cheap plastic and electronics, namely seawater and fine-grain sand. Beyond this, instances of SCP-5224-1 seem to exhibit no anomalous qualities on their own, so long as they remain unplugged and away from any phone-line socket compatible with landline telephone. (See experiment 5224-A and Addendum 1).
SCP-5224 was brought to the attention of the Foundation after it was discovered by divers off the coast of ██████ , France on ██/██/19. It was reported to local news agencies, who then spread it to the worldwide news network. The Foundation stepped in under one of it’s front organizations and offered to clear the container for free. An offer the French government accepted without incident.
Experment 5224-A:
An instance of SCP-5224-1 was removed from SCP-5224 and shipped to Containment Site ███ for testing. When it arrived, it was given to Junior Researcher T. for study. After an inspection of the interior and exterior components, no new data was uncovered. T. requested access to a landline outlet, and was granted it after site staff were able to locate one that was not part of the secure communications network. Once SCP-5224-1 was plugged in, T. attempted to make a phone call, choosing to call his own cell phone. The cell phone rang as expected, and when T. answered, he could only hear himself on the other end, as expected. Junior Researcher T. filed an initial report of SCP-5224-1 appearing to have no anomalous properties, but elected to keep it on site to continue observation.
Addendum 1: Aproximately ███ days after Experiment 5224-A, Junior Researcher T. received a call on his cell phone from a number that appeared to be consistent with the mask number used by Site ███. Upon answering, T. was "accosted" by very loud and tinny sounding music. The music was not identified, and after an estimated five seconds or so, a voice came on the line claiming that Junior Researcher T. had won a free trip to [DATA EXPUNGED]. T. hung up immediately and reported to incident to his superiors. Within 3 hours, Junior Researcher T. received 6 more calls of this nature, most promising that he had one a prize. Two of the calls promised a free vacation to anomalous locales, three promised free gifts with anomalous properties, and one promised a ██████ themed tea kettle. In return, T. was asked to provide his name, address, and [DATA EXPUNGED]. After the sixth call, T.'s phone was turned off. In an interview with Researcher ██████, Junior Researcher T. revealed that all of the promised prizes were things that had captivated his interest during research. He refused to divulge why a ██████ themed tea kettle was among them, and Researcher ██████ did not press further because "It's not my business what people enjoy on their days off."
Following this event, the instance of SCP-5224-1 sent to the site for study was found to have been removed from it's storage case, and returned to the landline socket it was previously plugged in to. For fear of a security breach, further testing was put on hold and SCP-5224-1 was shipped back to SCP-5224's location.
