The Morriggan

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently contained in a 20 meter by 20 meter containment unit in Sector ██ of Area-21 located in the mountains of ██████, Oregon. SCP-XXXX requires a constant coverage of low-level, bass-waves from each of the four corners of the containment cell to keep SCP-XXXX in a passive state. It is imperative that these bass-wave speakers may only be deactivated in the case of approved testing.

All Foundation staff are never to enter the containment while bass-wave speakers are active. Deactivation of these speakers will instantly put SCP-XXXX into its active state. It is obligated that researching staff entering the 3.5 meter radius "time field" of SCP-XXXX during its active state wear Level-3 Hazmat Suits equipped with bass-wave emitters during testing.

Upon returning SCP-XXXX to its passive state, staff must be removed from the containment unit and low-level bass must be activated directly after to slowly transition SCP-XXXX to its passive state.

Description : SCP-XXXX is a massive, true perpetual motion machine and includes three main parts; SCP-XXXX-1 is the machine, SCP-XXXX-2 is any individual who steps into the range of the machine’s anomalous field and SCP-XXXX-3 is an instance of an Einstein-Rosen bridge created by SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 is roughly 3.6 meters by 2 meters by 5.8 meters in size. It is composed of steel-plate shielding, gears varying in size, thick copper wiring, a primary control panel, a large wooden crank and a turbine protruding vertically from the front of the machine. The metals observed are copper for the wiring and steel for the primary shielding and gears. The turbine’s composition is unknown as of ██/██/08, it is composed of some titanium-like metal, lightweight and extremely heat resistant. The turbine’s construction appears to have “blades” that are infinitely twisting themselves between the outer and inner rings of the turbine. This anomaly is very similar to the classic “barber’s pole.” There are no anomalous properties of the machine itself besides its turbine of unknown construction until its active state it achieved.

The machine, from here on known as SCP-XXXX-1, one must utilize the control panel and the small crank. The control panel indicates the rotations per minute beginning with 10 RPM to ███████████████ RPM. The crank is used to provide SCP-XXXX with enough energy to operate. Depending on the control panel’s settings, the machine has the ability to provide █████████ megawatts per hour, roughy enough energy to power a large, industrialized city of 10 million people with ease. What is remarkable is that once the machine is active, it does not require any outside force to maintain operations. It is completely independent and autonomous by this point in its operations, ergo being a true perpetual motion machine. It has been discussed as using SCP-XXXX as a possible energy source for the Foundation.

Anomalous properties begin when SCP-XXXX-1 reaches approximately ██████████████ RPM. The center of the turbine begins to rotate at a high enough speed that it begins to alter the fabric of spacetime in a 3.5 meter radius of the machine. Those within the radius will see the environment around them seem to freeze around them. In truth, those in SCP-XXXX-1’s range, now known as SCP-XXXX-2, will have their aging process accelerated via SCP-XXXX-1’s anomalous properties. The individual will begin to age at a speed correlating with the set speed of SCP-XXXX-1 Those looking into the field and out of the radius of SCP-XXXX-1’s “time field” will see SCP-XXXX-2 age at an alarming rate. Not only this, but SCP-XXXX-2 will start seeing what would have been his life appear in a new anomaly created by SCP-XXXX’s turbine.

This anomaly, labeled SCP-XXXX-3, is a supposed Einstein-Rosen bridge that is formed by some property SCP-XXXX-2 contributes to SCP-XXXX-1 through an unknown process. Through SCP-XXXX-3, observations show that SCP-XXXX-2’s life can be shown unfolding right in front of him. Not only this, but SCP-XXXX-2 will act as if they are truly experiencing those events. It is assumed that these memetic effects are produced by a combination of both SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-3. After the death of SCP-XXXX-2, the radius of the "time field" will increase, unless the machine is deactivated. This increase of radius is theoretically infinite and has been tested to take only one instance of SCP-XXXX-2 at a time.

It would seem that this time field also has some affect on objects as well. Cameras and recording devices of any kind lost power almost instantly and rust and rot while entering the field. Brand new printer paper for taking notes was aged to a soft, brown cloth. Testing requested on further items, biological and non-biological.

Addendum: SCP-XXXX-1 was retrieved on ██/██/01 when the small town of ██████, Idaho had been [REDACTED] by SCP-XXXX-1. Local Agents were sent immediately following reports of, [REDACTED] despite the town only being 47 years old. The machine was found in the basement of a house on █████ St. while in it passive state with the hand crank jammed. An old man of approximately 80 years of age was found laying near the machine. As agents approached, the man rasped and coughed out dust. When agents offered assistance, the man's eyes rolled to the back of his head and died.
