Item #: SCP-2258

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: Note. Revised after Incident 2258-A.

SCP-2258-1 is to be contained within a standard inanimate object containment chamber, and remain connected to a source of power. SCP-2258-1 is to be monitored via standard CCTV camera.

SCP-2258-2 is contained within a spherical vacuum chamber, 10 meters in radius, composed of an inner 400mm layer of reinforced tungsten carbide and a secondary 25mm layer of standard lead radiation shielding. SCP-2258-2 is to be observed by a sensor measuring its rate of spin. A backup human observer must observe SCP-2258-2 through a standard CCTV camera from Observation Room 83-E (Formerly Laboratory 83-E)

SCP-2258-1 is to be contained within Laboratory 83-E for usage in simulating particle interactions. Access is limited to level three personnel. SCP-2258-2 is only to be materialized in the provided vacuum chamber, with all particle interactions being observed through the CCTV screen in Laboratory 83-E.

Description: SCP-2258 is the collective designation for SCP-2258-1 and SCP-2258-2. SCP-2258-1 is an Apple Macbook Air running the program “PRL Particle Sim 3.1”. No anomalous properties other than those exhibited by PRL Particle Sim 3.1 are possessed by SCP-2258-1. PRL Particle Sim 3.1 is a particle physics simulation program which allows users to manifest, and input forces to apply to SCP-2258-2.

SCP-2258-2 is a spherical luminescent object that resembles a selected subatomic particle enlarged to 3.141 centimeters in radius. Currently, SCP-2258-2 is a luminescent disk with a radius of 6.282 centimeters spinning at an angular velocity of approximately 3 billion RPM.

When launched, SCP-2258-1 prompts the user to input coordinates to manifest SCP-2258-2 in a specific location. Post Incident 2258-A, SCP-2258-1 displays a frozen screen with a perpetually spinning “beach ball” loading symbol identical to that of a normal Macbook Air. SCP-2258-1 no longer responds to keystrokes or mouse input, and external diagnostic tools show its CPU and memory being consumed at a rate of 100 percent.

SCP-2258-2 is not affected by any forces applied to it other than forces input through the command line interface of SCP-2258-1. SCP-2258-2 moves as if on a three-dimensional plane with the -Z axis angled in the same direction that SCP-2258-1 is pointed. Rotating or moving SCP-2258-1 also rotates or moves this plane, causing SCP-2258-2 to move to be in the same relative location to SCP-2258-1 as SCP-2258-2 was when manifested.

When moved using a force input through SCP-2258-1, SCP-2258-2 is fully capable of applying force to other objects. All collisions with SCP-2258-2 result in a perfectly elastic collision that repels the object impacting SCP-2258-2 and leaving SCP-2258-2 unaffected. When made to move through a force applied through SCP-2258-1’s interface, SCP-2258-2 demonstrates no inertia, accelerating instantly to the selected speed and instantly stopping when arriving at the selected location. SCP-2258-2 is unaffected by gravity, but is affected by the normal force. (See Document 2258-2-G – SCP-2258-2 Interactions With Solid Objects). Due to its current rotational speed, if SCP-2258-2 comes in contact with atmospheric particles, a self-sustaining nuclear fission cascade event with a yield of at minimum ██ megatons will begin.

SCP-2258 is in active use for the purposes of assisting Foundation research into particle physics under anomalous conditions. Due to the wide range of configuration options offered by SCP-2258-1 and the plethora of ways to measure SCP-2258-2’s state, SCP-2258 is an invaluable Foundation research tool.

Incident 2258-A: Incident 2258-A occurred on █/██/20██ when a researcher entered the value “18!” when prompted to input an amount of spins for SCP-2258-2 to undergo. SCP-2258-2 materialized in the provided vacuum chamber, and immediately accelerated to a linear rotational speed of approximately 0.03c. The laboratory was immediately evacuated. When SCP-2258-2 assumed its current state, SCP-2258-1 completely froze, displaying the spinning wait cursor. Current Foundation projections estimate this state to last for slightly over four years, after which SCP-2258-2 will cease rotating.
