SCP-5688

Item #: SCP-5688

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5688 is to be stored in a sealed containment unit located at Site-22, and kept under surveillance at all times. All reality destabilization events which occur within this containment unit are to be logged for future analysis. In the event that maintenance of this containment chamber is required, SCP-5688 is to be removed from the unit prior to personnel entering.

All research proposals involving SCP-5688 must be authorized by Dr. Henrik before being enacted.

Description: SCP-5688 is a giant human hand, three meters in height and one meter in width, which was unearthed by Foundation personnel during scheduled underground expansion of Site-22. The area around SCP-5688 is subject to extreme and sudden destabilization of reality, with no known indicators preceding these events. It is currently unknown how Site-22 escaped being affected by these reality destabilization events prior to SCP-5688's discovery.

Periodically, SCP-5688 will twitch and spasm. This behaviour does not appear to correspond to any specific stimuli.

Addendum 5688-1 (Testing Log):

The following is a record of specific tests undertaken in order to measure the specific forms that reality destabilization events surrounding SCP-5688 take. A full record of all tests is not available upon request from the Site-22 archive.

Test 5688-1 Testing Personnel: D-94911 Stimuli: D-94911 is instructed to shine a flashlight on SCP-5688 in order to measure its effects on light.

Result: No result when flashlight is shone upon SCP-5688. However, when it is subsequently shone upon the far wall of the containment chamber, a shadow resembling a spiral is briefly visible.

Test 5688-2 Testing Personnel: D-49264 Stimuli: D-49264 is ordered to make physical contact with SCP-5688.

Result: D-49264's left hand (which was not making physical contact with SCP-5688) shrinks rapidly until it is no longer visible. Once removed from the vicinity of SCP-5688, the hand returns to its normal size.

Test 5688-3 Testing Personnel: D-99134 Stimuli: D-99134 is ordered to strike SCP-5688 with a sledgehammer.

Result: D-99134 strikes SCP-5688 with a sledgehammer with no visible result. Two days later, D-99134 is found dead in his sleeping quarters with his tongue twisted into a spiral shape. Security recordings show no unusual phenomena during the night.

Test 5688-4 Testing Personnel: D-22131 Stimuli: D-22131 is ordered to fire upon SCP-5688 with a handgun.

Result: D-22131 fires upon SCP-5688. Alarmed by the sudden gunshot, D-22131 returns fire and shoots D-22131 in the stomach, causing severe injuries that result in their death shortly afterwards. D-22131 is safely retrieved from the containment chamber and treated for shock.

Text 5688-5 Testing Personnel: D-591134 Stimuli: D-591134 is ordered to wash the blood off of SCP-5688 using a hose.

Result: Upon the water making contact with SCP-5688, D-591134 violently explodes, showering the containment chamber and SCP-5688 with blood and viscera.

Text 5688-6 Testing Personnel: D-591134 Stimuli: D-591134 is ordered to wash the blood off of SCP-5688 using a hose.

Result: Nothing happens, and continues happening.

Addendum 5688-2 (Interview Log)

The following is a record of Dr. Henrik's attempt to ascertain whether SCP-5688 possesses any form of sapience - and if so, what level of control it has over the reality destabilization events that occur in its vicinity.
