Document #: 174X-32
The following is the documentational log for both SCP-032’s created devices and tools, along with a brief description using the following format. Any non-anomalous or mundane devices will be made available for limited Foundation usage after thorough testing.
Type: Exterior shell tools or crafted devices separate from the SCP-032 entity.
ID: Numerical designation for object.
Description: A brief description of the object.
Note: Any further notes made by the recording individual.
Type: Tool
ID: 005
Description: Diamond tipped drill
Note: A forward-mounted drill. Analysis detects no discrepancies from mass produced industrial drilling equipment, and it performs as conventionally expected.
Type: Tool
ID: 103
Description: Laser cutter
Note: Item appears to be defensive, despite field reports vouching that the cutter has been used to mine the surrounding area around the subject. A nozzled projection emits a high temperature beam that cuts through the surrounding rock.
Type: Device
ID: 132
Description: ██ █████ █ ███████
Note: [DATA EXPUNGED] All further experimentation has been discontinued. All personnel are advised to evacuate should SCP-032 repair this device or construct another ever again.
Type: Tool
ID: 008
Description: Welder
Note: A side-mounted tungsten arc welder. It should be noted that there is no tungsten ore below █████████, but otherwise the device performs as expected of standard welding equipment.
Type: Device
ID: 086
Description: Circular metallic gateway composed of unknown materials. Anything that passes through the gate is covered in a microscopic layer of carbon that exponentially increases its strength and sharpness. Studies are currently ongoing to discover how such a process takes place.
Note: All items placed through the gateway are to be cataloged and placed in secure storage. See supplemental document 174X-32-086 for a complete list of items.
Type: Tool
ID: 054
Description: Defensive electrical discharge
Note: A singular circular node atop a coiled steel pylon. Item is wired directly into SCP-032’s core and emits a high voltage electrical shock.
Type: Device
ID: 055
Description: Plague generator
Note: A circular cuff that tightens when any limb is placed inside. The subject is injected with a randomized disease each time, despite no external feed for contagions, and the item is not limited to a single pathogen. Item has been removed from the site and is currently undergoing analysis. SCP designation is pending.
Addendum: Let’s not test it again until it gets to a secure environment. I’d much rather not have to deal with an alien outbreak for which the world has no defense. -Fang, Security Consultant
Type: Device
ID: 045
Description: Light Emitter
Note: Mushroom-shaped nodule with an accompanying lever. When the lever is pulled, the head opens and expels a magical light sphere. The sphere appears to hold no other purpose other than illumination and follows the person who pulled the lever. The sphere disappears after four hours, or if the lever is pulled again.
Type: Device
ID: 023
Description: Drink dispenser?
Note: Item was initially constructed to resemble a drink vending machine. Doctor Brush Stream inserted ten bits and selected a drink titled Sparkle Cola. A live grenade dispensed in the drink slot instead of the selected drink or another advertised beverage. Doctor Stream was killed in the explosion and another two staff were injured. Item 023 was destroyed in the explosion.
Addendum: Let’s not try these outside of testing again.
Type: Tool
ID: 018
Description: Gas discharge
Note: Disk-shaped emitter that projects high-energy gas. Analysis shows 100% of collected gases thus far are naturally found in the atmosphere, but superheated to roughly 9,000 degrees.
Addendum: I found the gas to be highly conductive. Very odd, considering gases are normally insulators. It’s not acting like conventional physics should suggest a gas should behave. Perhaps the temperature is the variable? -Doctor Tumbler
Type: Tool
ID: 002
Description: Mechanical limbs
Note: Several different exoskeletal nodes are folded under this particular tool definition. SCP-032 utilizes several advanced mechanical prongs, arms, claws, scoops, and other limbs to move its surrounding environment when it requires a more dextrous touch. These are its primary method of assembling devices once it has broken down raw materials.
Type: Tool
ID: 060
Description: Refractory stealth cloak
Note: Item appears to be projected from inside SCP-032’s core itself, as there are no external nodes to produce the effect. SCP-032’s outer shell is divided into microscopic fragments and each fragment reflects what is on the opposite side of SCO-032, rendering the subject invisible should it remain still. Movement causes a “shimmering” effect that reveals the subject’s location, but does not break the stealth effect.
Addendum: All gathered documentation (supplemental document 174X-32-060) is to be forwarded to Project: Nightwalker until further notice. -O3
Type: Device
ID: 034
Description: Cloud of laughing gas
Note: A mechanical crank attached to a perforated isosphere. When the crank is turned, nitrous oxide is pumped through the isosphere.
Addendum: Why the hell did it even make this? -Doctor Tumbler
Type: Tool
ID: 001
Description: Speaker
Note: A speaker that projects sound from within SCP-032’s body cavity. The location of the item shifts as SCP-032 adds and subtracts matter from itself and is currently the default communication device from which it speaks to Foundation staff. Basic construction has yet to be identified.
Type: Tool
ID: 012
Description: Scent machine
Note: A small fan that projects a scent that reportedly smells like lavender. Analysis concluded no added chemicals or materials in the area to produce a smell. It is unknown what purpose item 012 serves.
Type: Device
ID: 019
Description: Bottomless hole
Note: Device is composed of a single concrete cube measuring one square meter. A single hole is roughly carved in the center. The measured depth of the hole is currently four hundred forty (440) meters with no known bottom.
Addendum: I’ve already tossed a bit down there. Damn. -Doctor Tumbler
Type: Tool
ID: 027
Description: Corrosive gel
Note: Forward-mounted finned barrel that disperses a thick stream of unidentified gel that corrodes any substance on contact. SCP-032 utilizes this equipment as a tunneling device despite having several others at its disposal. The gel has been proven to be highly corrosive with no known material being able to resist corrosion.
Type: Tool
ID: 003
Description: Molecular furnace
Note: The subject utilizes a forward-mounted cavity along with item 002 to consume metals, earth, and refuse and break them down into their base molecules. These raw materials are then distributed throughout SCP-032’s interior for storage, to modify its inorganic exoskeleton, or utilized to build additional devices.
Further items will be cataloged as they are crafted. Any additional documentation is to be placed under the same directory as this document.
Huh.
7448785
Sno-Cone maker? Terrifying thought.
Still, I wonder if anyone will figure out what it actually is.
7448785 "In particular, any anomaly that exhibits autonomy, sentience and/or sapience is generally classified a Euclid-class entity at minimum, due to the inherent unpredictability of an object that can act or think on its own."
Straight from the SCP website. It displays some level of intelligence and autonomy, and the Foundation has no idea what its purpose is exactly, so therefore there is the possibility of it one day deciding to leave its home. Sure it might not be probable, but the fact that there would be no way to stop it creates a pretty significant risk.
7449666
Generally. Not always. Sapience or sentience, no matter how advanced, is not a guarantee of Euclid or even a Keter rating. Since you pulled a line from Euclid, you might have seen this one from Safe:
SCP-032 has done nothing to harm anyone, even when it had the chance to harm a VIP without supervision. Even skips that could pose a massive security or intelligence risk can be classified as Safe when their demeanor and a pattern of good behavior is taken into account. Again, I'll point out where this has occurred before.
I will reiterate, as long as the containment procedures are followed to the letter, safety and secrecy will be maintained. Unless a researcher does something dumb and accidentally gets grenade to the face. I see what you are doing there. You're trying to invoke what's called the Devil's Proof. Yes, SCP-032 may be dangerous and no one knows it, or maybe a malevolent entity and hiding its nature. But it is not now. Time may change that, but for now it is benign.
To clinch my assertion, suppose I do upgrade it from Safe to Euclid. How will that change the actual containment procedures? There is nothing else of note to add, no added danger that it poses. It's not hostile, it doesn't try to escape, or try to find a valid "return token". The scientists have even taken into account your assumption that SCP-32 might try to escape one day.
Until that team discovers something of note, there is no reason at all a Euclid designation is needed.
7449747 might I point out SCP-507 was a human and communicated actively and freely with the SCP personnel? They understood what he was thinking. I'm just saying, something that big and sentient without a clear directive seems like it should be a Euclid-class entity.
Anyway, would it not be possible to construct some sort of containment around its home? You know, like a big box outside the area it usually roams, simply to keep outsiders from tunneling into it by some chance?
7449905
And they know what SCP-032 is thinking because it tells them. I've already touched upon that. As for constructing a barrier? I've talked about that too.
Got that covered.
7449929 I thought SCP-032 had very limited communication and only repeated a few fragmented words or phrases? And I know how effective it is at mining, but it only ever goes out so far right? So build the containment outside that range so it won't ever get near it. The idea for the wall isn't to keep it in, it's to make sure everyone else stays out. I mean, what's to stop a unicorn who's drilling underground from stumbling upon it, seeing it, and teleporting away before anyone noticed he or she was there? Make some kind of barrier that's resistant to conventional drilling and repels magic so no one can teleport to the other side.
7450346
Limited? No.
It's been quite forthcoming, answering questions about its nature and mission readily. They can't get everything they want all at once, yeah, but they're underground and away form prying eyes. They have time.
As for an additional barrier, it's not needed, remember? No one's supposed to be there already.
Adding additional security isn't a good idea for three reasons. As I've already said, this skip's nature doesn't make it a threat so it's not needed. Two, the Foundation has a whole lot of resources, but they still have to be mindful of costs. Even something as simple as filling caves with cement costs a fair bit of money and resources, and that's not even taking account the anonymity they'd need to remain hidden. It's not needed, so its not in the budget. Thirdly, not adding additional security takes advantage of human nature. A cave is just a cave. But a cave cemented or bricked up? That creates a reason for people to see it beyond idle curiosity or exploring.
So, SCP-032 is an engineer/miner of sorts?
So is the first one not related or like not to read to see this one? Since its canceled and all.
7857721
It is directly related, but reading the Site 16 is not required. This one is just a collection of dossiers and logs in the same universe.
