SCP-032

Original

A realistic replica of SCP-032.

LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED

Item #: SCP-032

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-032 must not be transported or interacted with by any but the most essential personnel. SCP-032 is to be kept fully isolated, suspended by its own apparent free will. SCP-032 is never to be touched, edited, or tampered with in any fashion. Given the extreme nature of the results of not complying with protocol, termination of personnel is necessary. All research is to be conducted using remotely operated machines. In the event of emergency maintenance in proximity of the object, the maintenance team is to be terminated. This procedure must also be used for anyone, regardless of rank or security clearance, in direct visual or auditory contact with SCP-032.

Description: SCP-032 resembles a small marble upon first glance, but further investigation revealed that manipulation of the marble had immense influence on the planet Earth. Various weather effects and natural disasters occurred with only the slightest influence from outside forces. It appears that it would only take the slightest effort to destroy the object, and such actions are to be prohibited, and the object is to be sealed off from all personnel except those with at least level-4 clearance, and only under circumstances deemed necessary. Those who may notice the distinct formation of continents on object code-named Mother may be compelled to tamper with it, thus all security measures must be strictly enforced.

Additional Notes: Transport of SCP-032 has been the cause of major natural disasters around the globe. The nature of the disasters have been explained by the media in an untrue fashion for the safety of the public and our organization. No truths must leave the holding area, as knowledge of SCP-032 must be kept to a minimum.

A realistic replica of SCP-032.

LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED

Item #: SCP-032

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-032 is to be stored in a spherical vacuum at a temperature of 23 µK. The artifact is to be accompanied by a single temperature-shielded 100 W bulb. SCP-032 will slowly accelerate and begin its orbit of the bulb, and although speed and size of the orbit varies, it is most often found rotating at 0.5 RPM at a distance of 280 cm.

Any interaction with SCP-032 requires O5 clearance, and is to be participated in by Level 4 agents only. This includes transportation, or modification/maintenance of its storage container.

Description: SCP-032 is roughly spherical, with an approximate diameter of 5 cm (2 in), and appears to be a close replica of planet Earth. The object is animated and has its own self-contained ecosystem. SCP-032 rotates at approximately the same tilt as Earth, but undergoes only seasonal change that is directly enacted upon it through introduction of bright light to its surface.

There are many differences between the geography of our Earth and that of SCP-032, most notably the complete exclusion of Greenland and subsequent redesign of the tiny planet's ocean currents. Further detail has been submitted to the administration, database release pending.

Physical interaction with SCP-032 has seen a direct result on our Earth. These manifest as natural occurrences, varying in intensity from barely detectable to devastating. The cause is always related by nature to the effect: e.g. direct touch can cause a local earthquake, while extreme proximity to a light source can cause a drought in the most heavily-lit area. A full write-up on these effects is also pending release.

Additional Notes: Mishandling of SCP-032 has been the direct cause of some natural disasters. We cannot stress enough that correct care be taken in the transportation and upkeep of this artifact.
