Special Containment Procedures: All the components of SCP-2308 are to be kept inside a radiation-shielded lead locker at Site 131. SCP-2308's locker is to be watched by camera surveillance at all times. The locker must be kept underground inside an exclusive room with proper radiation shielding.

Manipulation of SCP-2308 without a proper Level A hazardous materials suit is forbidden, and any personnel exposed to SCP-2308 must be taken to the Decontamination Wing of Site 131, isolated and given treatment to Acute Radiation Poisoning.

The radiation levels of SCP-2308-2 are to be measured twice a year and reported in this file.

Description: SCP-2308 is a collection of two objects found in the city of ███████, Brazil. The collection was found in ██/██/1998 by a 18-year old male along with two deceased males that were collected by local authorities (see Containment Log 2308-A).

SCP-2308-1 is a radiation contaminated piece of paper with some notes written in Brazilian Portuguese, which emits gamma waves of over 30 Sieverts. The calligraphy used on SCP-2308-1 matches the calligraphy of one of the deceased males found on scene. The lines consist of very vague timed instructions that, post translation, read:

16:30 - Be at the determinated place 18:30 - Ingest the pills After the effect, protect the metals, and wait for mask signal.

SCP-2308-2 is a pair of radioactive homemade masks made of an unknown and as of the present, indestructible metal. The masks seem to be made to fit the human face and emit gamma waves of over 60 Sieverts. There are no other known instances of the metal that composes SCP-2308-2.

The metal is poisonous to any vegetal life, and a six-hour exposure was sufficient for the decimation of the native flora on the region of the "█████ ██ ██████" in ███████, Brazil. Regional reports inform that seeds "quickly die" when exposed to the poisoned soil, but no relevant cases of human poisoning were recorded in addition to those of the officers who collected the artifacts and the two deceased males.

Addendum A: As of incident 2308-X, no tentatives of weaponized manipulation of the gamma rays from SCP-2308-2 are to be made due to the imminent risk of contamination of the whole site.

You guys managed to drill a hole on a one meter thick lead wall with a prototype gun? You do know that i must pay for the damage, right? - Dr. Vladimir Abranovíc, Testing Director at Site 131

Addendum B:

"The origin of two-three-oh-eight remains unclear, but it surely killed those two men. The interview with the families revealed absolutely nothing. They were both automobile mechanics and longtime friends. Whatever they found on that hill, that's surely the thing to be held responsible for their death. The autopsy did not show anything anomalous besides the high levels of radiation on their cells. They had chemical eye burns. There's no way they could have come up with an unknown metal all by themselves. Maybe a cult? Well, food for thought." - Dr. Armand Bouvier, Site Director of Site 131

+ Containment Log 2308-A First Contact and Containment Log A - SCP-2308

SCP-2308 was first encountered after a report of high gamma radiation levels by Situation Control Squad AH-5 over the area of ███████ in Brazil. A dispatched first-response team was met by personnel carrying the badge of "Comissão Nacional de Energia Nuclear (CNEN)", that was contacted by the Foundation to isolate the radioactive artifacts on a shielded briefcase. The response team collected SCP-2308 and catalogued it. The two deceased males were discarded as components of SCP-2038 and sent for cremation after a proper autopsy on a local medical facility that determined the cause of death as Acute Radiation Poisoning. The materials of SCP-2308 were then sent to Site 131 and contained properly. The population of ███████ was decontaminated and the memory of the authorities involved in the capturing of SCP-2038 was altered.
