SCP-3700

Item #: SCP-3700

Object Class: Thaumiel

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3700's main dome may be utilized as a tourist attraction or standard high-class restaurant, and is to be publicly treated as a standard architectural monument.

All publicly available articles related to the creation of SCP-3700 have been fabricated and are actively maintained for secrecy of Project NREM-03.

SCP-3700-1 is to be maintained in a low-power metastable state, ready for full activation if required. Full activation of SCP-3700 may only be achieved after a unanimous approval from the O5-Council.

Description: SCP-3700 is the Canadian National Tower, more commonly referred to as the CN Tower. When SCP-3700 is in an active state, it functions as a high capacity Scranton Reality Anchor, capable of creating a stable Hume field with an event horizon sitting at 40 kilometers away from the underground structure, and up to 2200 from the large communications antenna's relay. SCP-3700 is also capable of functioning as a non-anomalous radio communications center and large-scale lightning rod.

SCP-3700-1 refers to a sphere of helium-████ plasma with an approximate radius of 44 meters, which acts as the core of SCP-3700. SCP-3700-1 is located roughly 1200 meters below surface level.

SCP-3700's construction was completed and the device became fully operational in February of 1977, and was activated by the current Site Director of the time. Upon activation, researchers were introduced to a series of problems that had not been recorded in previous iterations of the SRA:

It was discovered that near the core of a large-scale Scranton Reality Anchor that there exists a thin band of anomalous spacetime surrounding the core with a size equal to the square of 10% of the core's actual size, where hume level readings become illogical and measures unrealistically high or low, with the lowest measurement being -6.05 humes , and the highest measurement reported at an approximate 3,455 humes. Despite these readings, immediate reality surrounding the anchor's core remains stable and no change has been noted on subjects entering this band.

The amount of energy required to maintain complete stability of SCP-3700-1 was grossly underestimated, despite scaling in calculations proving to be correct on paper. Anomalously, the area around SCP-3700 lost a significant amount of electrical power and heat energy when activated, causing a temporary blackout before its subsequent deactivation. Furthermore, reality in the affected area began to [DATA EXPUNGED]. Following this incident, SCP-3700-1 has been maintained in a metastable state, and the O5-Council has voted in favor of utilizing SCP-3700 only if absolutely necessary.

SCP-3700's initial operating level was measured at 1.05 humes, and it was later discovered that this atypical increase was caused due to an unexpected discrepancy between natural Hume levels at the depth of SCP-3700's core and the hume level above ground.

Addendum 3700-A: Event 3700/2003

Areas affected by event 3700/2003

For audio logs from Site-3700 during event 3700/2003, see Addendum 3700-C.

On August 14, 2003, Site Director Kim made a request to the O5 Council for an immediate cross-test of SCP-3700's strong hume field on SCP-████ by only operating it at half of full capacity , which should not have resulted in any damage. The request was approved due to the relatively low risk, and SCP-████ was transferred to the storage atrium inside of SCP-3700. At 16:10 EDT, SCP-3700-1's power allowance activated, resulting in a significant power choke on the Toronto Hydro system, but no damage was immediately done. As expected, the hume readings of SCP-████'s area of effect were immediately overwritten by SCP-3700's operating level, and no anomalous activity was reported for 15 seconds, before [DATA EXPUNGED], resulting in the total uncontrolled reactivation of SCP-3700-1. SCP-3700 began to absorb all energy within a forty kilometer radius of SCP-3700-1, resulting in an average temperature drop of roughly two degrees centigrade across the area of effect, and a total shutdown of the main Toronto Hydro system. The immediate area surrounding SCP-3700-1 and SCP-████ saw a much more dramatic change of nearly fifty-five degrees, resulting in the deaths of all 24 researchers and security personnel on-site. Site Director Kim was successfully able to restabilize SCP-37001 via his control interface, before activating the object's distress beacon. SCP-3700's large antenna was not hard-connected to the core at the time.

The aftermath of event 3700/2003 resulted in power loss to over 55,000,000 civillians in 8 of the United States and 1 Canadian province, due to an unrelated bug in the █████Energy Corporation's alarm software, which failed to provide backup power to Toronto during the large overload caused by SCP-3700.

NREM-03. You will not be forgiven.
