Containment Class:
esoteric
Special Containment Procedures: Any personnel below Security Clearance Level 4 with existing knowledge of SCP-XXXX is to be administered a Class-A Amnestic. No personnel with any mechanical implants are permitted within 1km of SCP-XXXX. [Explain]
If SCP-XXXX is ever separated from SCP-XXXX-1, MTF Delta-7 ("Down On One Knee") is to be dispatched to locate SCP-XXXX and return it to SCP-XXXX-1 within 31 hours. If SCP-XXXX is not able to be returned to SCP-XXXX-1 within the time limit, an XK-Class "End of The World" Scenario will occur. If a way to repair SCP-XXXX-1 is found, they are to be considered a top priority.
If a way to repair SCP-XXXX-1 is found, they are to be considered a top priority. If the red beryl located within SCP-XXXX is able to be destroyed without breaking it, the procedure is to be carried out.
A faux article will be created to hide the true nature of SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a small, bronze ring 1.89cm in diameter consisting of approximately 52 moving mechanical parts. There is a small amount of synthetic red beryl engraved near the top of the ring. An inscription is located underneath the top of the ring, reading [COGNITOHAZARD EXPUNGED].
By itself, SCP-XXXX slowly erodes organic matter within a circumference of approximately 50,000 km spreading out from itself and replaces it with mechanical parts. This process is mostly unknown, but interviews with people associated with The Church of the Broken God have referenced the synthetic red beryl to be the source of the erosion and replication. When put on to SCP-XXXX-1, it's properties instead put SCP-XXXX-1 into some sort of stasis, preventing it from breaking down further, but not repairing it in any way.
SCP-XXXX-1 is a metal human hand, which mostly consists of zinc, with trace amounts of titanium, along with several other unidentified alloys. There are multiple gems where the fingernails would be, all of which have been identified as rough garnet.
At the center of SCP-XXXX-1 is a capsule that contains a large amount of unidentifiable mechanical material, theorized to be some form of gamete. The capsule is in a constant state of deterioration, and if SCP-XXXX is separated from SCP-XXXX-1, the capsule is expected to fully deteriorate after a total of 31 hours.
Once the capsule fully dissolves, an XK-Class "End of the World" Scenario will take place, in which the material inside of the capsule will rapidly multiply and expand to a radius of around 50,000 kilometers, which will fully encapsulate the Earth.
The material located inside of SCP-XXXX-1 immediately converts any organic matter that it comes in contact with into a mechanical substance. Once the capsule fully deteriorates, the material will rapidly multiply and expand, to a radius that will encapsulate the entire Earth within 3 days. Once this happens, the material will convert all organic matter into the mechanical matter found within SCP-XXXX-1
Discovery: SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 were both found on a raid of the Church of the Broken God by MTF Sigma-9. The people at the gathering were performing a ritual that would remove SCP-XXXX from SCP-XXXX-1 The performers of the ritual managed to remove SCP-XXXX for a total of 2.9 hours before Sigma-9 arrived. The two entities were kept separate until learning of their properties.
Addendum XXXX-1: Interview Log
Interviewed: A new member of the Church of the Broken God who was present at the ritual, hereby referred to as PoI-90213.
Interviewer: Dr. ██████, Senior Researcher
Foreword: An interview was conducted with one of the persons conducting the ritual that was performed to remove SCP-XXXX from SCP-XXXX-1
<Begin Log>
Dr. ██████: What can you tell me about the two objects that were recovered from the location you were at?
PoI-90213 does not respond to the question posed. PoI-90213 continues this behavior for a total of 1 hour and 23 minutes until Dr. ██████ threatens violence.
PoI-90213: Alright, fine! I'll tell you what you want, just don't kill me.
Dr. ██████: We won't kill you if you comply. Again, what can you tell me about the two objects?
PoI-9021: All I know is that the zealots telling us what to do said it was the bodily fluid of the Broken God. I don't know if that meant the blood or something else.
Dr. ██████: Thank you. What can you tell me about the ring?
PoI-90213: They said that the ring was healing the hand and that the bodily fluid couldn't escape without the ring being removed. They really wanted the ring gone.
Dr. ██████: Can you tell me about the replacement of biological matter effect of the ring?
PoI-90213: I think they mentioned something about the gem embedded in it, which was the cause of the effects. They said the two objects working together could turn the whole planet into a machine.
Dr. ██████: Thank you for your compliance.
Shortly after the interview, PoI-20913 was terminated by guards.

Closing Statement: The matter present within SCP-XXXX-1 has been revealed to be the bodily fluid of the Broken God, theorized to be its sperm. The synthetic red beryl embedded into SCP-XXXX is the cause of its effects. The Description and Special Containment Procedures have been updated accordingly.
