Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a locked storage box in site 19. Personnel of level 2 or higher, with writen permission from dr. Bos, may acces SCP-XXXX for testing.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a regular dodecahedronal metal base, with 3 metal bars attached. The base is composed of electrum, an alloy of 74% gold and 26% silver. The bars are steel rebar and are welded onto 3 corners of the base. The welding is of subpar quality. The relative positon of these bars seems to be random. The base is 0.12m in diameter and the bars measure 0.2m, 0.23m and 0.35m

SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties emerge when a human subject, henceforth SCP-XXXX-1, holds SCP-XXXX by the two shorter bars. When SCP-XXXX-1 is presented with a choice it percieves has only two options, it gains acces to a very limited form of prescience.

If one of the options leads to pleasure for SCP-XXXX-1 and the other does not, or if one of the options does not lead to suffering for SCP-XXXX-1, and the other does, SCP-XXXX-1 will become convinced that it is the correct choice. SCP-XXXX-1 will hold this as objective truth and cannot be persuaded otherwise. SCP-XXXX-1 will thus always pick this option. This effect only works if the pleasure or pain comes as a direct result of the chosen option and occurs within 150 seconds of SCP-XXXX-1 making the choice.

If both options lead to pleasure or suffering or both lead to neither pleasure nor suffering, or one of the options leads to both, SCP-XXXX has no anomalous effect. SCP-XXXX does not consider different levels of pleasure or pain.

__Test XXXX 1 - Date █/█/2020

Subject: D-XXXX01, D-XXXX02, D-XXXX03, D-XXXX04
Procedure: D-class personel are to be fitted with chock-collars capable of administering a chock between 15 and 400 volts. Subjects are to be on by on led into the test chamber and will be asked to pick up SCP-XXXX and press one of two butons. Button A would administer a chock of 45 volts, button B would have no effect. The door to the test chamber is to be left open.

Results: D-XXXX01 and D-XXXX04 immediatly pressed button B, when questioned if they ever considered not pressing one of the buttons, both subjects answered in the negative. D-XXXX02 hesitated before eventualy pressing button B, when asked the same question subject admitted after much insistence that it considered running through the door. D-XXXX04 pressed button A after a short pause and was administered the shock. During questioning subject professed it 'wanted to trow the fucking thing at the window', subject is refering to one way mirror used to observe the experiment.

Analysis: This test shows that SCP-XXXX bases the amount of options a choice has on the amount of options SCP-XXXX-1 percieves it has. If SCP-XXXX-1 consideres not choosing as an option, SCP-XXXX does not show it's anomalous effect..
