Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Artifact

Containment Class: Safe

Threat Level: White

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is permanently decommissioned, and its use is forbidden. All three components of SCP-XXXX (reactor, coil, interface) are kept at separate sites. Containment Team personnel without proper clearance are to be informed that they are protecting a highly dangerous sentient anomaly with repercussions for visual contact. See Document XXXX-FACADE for alternate documentation.

Knowledge of the nature of SCP-XXXX is limited to personnel with Level 3 Clearance. Knowledge of the history and intended use of SCP-XXXX is limited to personnel with Level 4 Clearance. Several hostile Groups of Interest are aware of SCP-XXXX. Therefore, its containment chamber is reinforced with standard physical, mental, and translocative defenses.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a large machine constructed illicitly by Foundation personnel between the years of 1975 and 1989. SCP-XXXX was designed to give the ability of global-scale reality bending phenomena to a single person. At the present time, SCP-XXXX is incomplete; there are several flaws in the coil mechanism that would make it nearly impossible to properly alter reality.

SCP-XXXX consists of a "reactor", a "coil", and an "interface". The reactor is a Uranium-235 fission reactor combined with a Tazarn reality drain. Due to the large amount of power consumed by the reality drain, this coupling was an essential part of the design. When the reactor is activated, it is capable of reducing the local reality level in a configurable radius to a level of 44 Humes. While this is not enough for an average human to have an influence on reality, the coil is able to amplify the effect for the designated reality bender.

The coil is a small chamber, containing a chair and a beryllium-brass cylinder. A wire composed of a gold alloy is wrapped around the cylinder. When attached to the reactor, the reality level within the chamber is raised to approximately 175 Humes. Theoretically, if a person were to sit in the chair after undergoing the appropriate meditative techniques, they would be transformed into Type-Green reality bender for the duration of SCP-XXXX's activation. However, a lack of understanding of Scrantonian physics have lead to any amount of reality dissipating before reality alteration can take place.

The interface is a computer that can be attached to the reactor and the coil. It is capable of controlling several variables involving in the reality alteration process. It is possible to modify SCP-XXXX to function without the interface; these modifications have not been attempted.

HMCL Note: Yes, in theory, we could use SCP-XXXX for all kinds of things. Completely wiping out the Daevites. Stopping a K-class scenario. Containing every anomaly that has ever existed. The coil's broken, but that's an easy enough fix.

I have unilaterally denied any proposal to use SCP-XXXX in any way. I expect my successor to do the same. The only reason we haven't completely dismantled the machine in some way is because we still have some things to learn from it. We don't completely understand how the Tazran reality drain works, for instance.
