A non-anomalous model of the Cessna 175 Skylark.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: When not in use, SCP-XXXX is to be contained in the Site-88 anomalous item hangar. Testing involving SCP-XXXX is to occur under the direct supervision of the XXXX project director. When feasible, no equipment or individuals are to left outside of SCP-XXXX when it returns to baseline reality.

All flight tests of SCP-XXXX are to be undertaken utilizing pilots experienced with the object's non-anomalous counterparts. An AL41 flight clearance is required for any SCP-XXXX operators.

All future testing involving SCP-XXXX has been suspended by order of the Ethics Committee.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a Cessna 175A Skylark which, under certain conditions, is capable of accessing alternate realities in which all life has recently ceased to function. The method by which this is achieved is little understood, though the process can be repeated by operating the engine at lower than recommended RPM2 settings. Though all Cessna 175 Skylark models will experience variably detrimental harmonics at these settings, SCP-XXXX is the only instance of the model that experiences this particular anomalous effect.

When SCP-XXXX is flown at RPM settings in the 2400-2500 range for longer than 3 minutes, SCP-XXXX and its contents will be moved to a reality in which all life has ceased to function. This transition is not accompanied by any meaningful indications other than the cessation of life in all observable entities from SCP-XXXX's vantage point.

This effect will continue until SCP-XXXX's engine is fully deactivated, at which point the object and all items or entities located inside it will transition back to the baseline reality. During this transition all individuals located inside SCP-XXXX will experience a period of unconsciousness. All automated equipment, including that which is set to record data relating to the transition will experience a 12 second gap in their operation.

Repeated testing has determined that realities visited by SCP-XXXX are identical to baseline with the sole exception of the cessation of life at the moment of SCP-XXXX's arrival. All realities visited by utilizing SCP-XXXX are absent of life of any kind except that which has been transported aboard SCP-XXXX. Advanced life, plant life, microbial life, non-cellular life, and anomalous life appears to be affected similarly.

The various iterations appear to be capable of supporting life, with testing revealing that living organisms transported by SCP-XXXX are capable of growing in their environments. Corpses transported from these iterations to the baseline reality also appear to be vulnerable to decomposition by living microorganisms to which they are introduced.

The effect which causes the cessation of all life appears to occur without regard for the speed at which information must normally travel as understood by physics. Broadcast data from various locations worldwide have proven that the cessation of life occurs in all areas without any delay upon SCP-XXXX's transition.

Though testing in this field has been limited due to resource and classification constraints, no known limit to this effect has been determined with regards to range.
