SCP-1487 in an inert state.

Item #: SCP-1487

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1487 is to be contained in a standard containment cell in Site 23. Any testing involving SCP-1487 must be approved by 1 Level 2 5 personnel. Personnel are to continuously monitor SCP-1487 for any sign of activity relating to the location of any Site. Monitoring equipment is to be installed and calibrated to report the exact measurements displayed by SCP-1487 as quickly as possible.

Description: SCP-1487 is a humanoid automaton, consisting of an upper body, thighs, machinery that makes up the interior of SCP-1487, and an array of twenty four (24) human forearm-shaped appendages. SCP-1487 is depicted as a human in a peaceful meditative position. All parts of SCP-1487, with the exception of the mechanical assembly, are composed of a dense white plastic. The metal within SCP-1487 has been identified as steel. It is currently unknown how SCP-1487 operates, as there is no identifiable energy source within it. The nape of the neck of SCP-1487 is embossed with the name "Clair".

At any given time, SCP-1487 can be designated as either inert or active. SCP-1487's anomalous effects trigger approximately every five hundred fifty four (554) seconds. This interval has been found to be near the proposed time required for 1000 people to die, based on current world censuses1. It is worth noting that the active state of SCP-1487 is ten (10) seconds long, and this interval is not included in the previous measurement. This change is recognized by a sudden shift in the positions of all the appendages of SCP-1487. These positions were thought to be random, but after analysis of video surveillance during Incident 1487-B-d72, it has been discovered that these positions correlate with the time and location of a person's (henceforth SCP-1487-A's) death. These appendages are arranged into sections accordingly based on function (henceforth referred to as SCP-1487-1, -2, and -3). The remaining four (4) forearms have not been found to display any information, and do not move when SCP-1487 enters an active state. (See Addendum 1487-A).

  • SCP-1487-1 is a group of nine (9) forearm appendages on the left side of SCP-1487. The digits on each hand display the current latitude measurement2. These appendages are grouped by two (2), with ten (10) fingers used at once to display one (1) digit in the latitude reading, with the remaining hand displaying a north or south direction by pointing with the thumb. It has been noted that SCP-1487 has never displayed a reading outside of a 500 mile radius around itself.
  • SCP-1487-2 is a group of nine (9) forearm appendages on the right side of SCP-1487. The digits on each hand display the current longitude measurement. They function identical to SCP-1487-1, with the exception of the remaining hand displaying an east or west direction.
  • SCP-1487-3 is two (2) appendages in the top center of SCP-1487. When SCP-1487 becomes active, these digits will count down from ten (10). It is confirmed that SCP-1487-A will expire when the count reaches zero. At this point, SCP-1487 will return to an inert state, with all appendages reverting to rest position.

Incident 1487-B-d72: Transcript of video surveillance during containment breach of SCP-280, as well as SCP-1487's containment cell.

Date: ██/██/████

2:37:49 PM: Containment cell for SCP-████. SCP-████ approaches D-Class subject during testing. D-Class subject attempts to exit containment cell.

2:38:04 PM: SCP-1487 enters an active state. At this time, SCP-1487-1 and -2 display ██° ██' █, ██° ██' █ respectively. SCP-1487-3 initiates countdown.

2:38:07 PM: SCP-████ initiates violence towards D-Class subject. SCP-1487-3 continues countdown.

2:38:14 PM: SCP-1487-3 concludes countdown. At this precise moment, SCP-████ tears into and kills D-Class subject.

2:38:15 PM: SCP-1487 reverts to inert state.

Addendum 1487-A: On ██/██/████, during inspection of the mechanical assembly within SCP-1487 by D-62980, the 4 dormant appendages suddenly began to rapidly display numeric values, and subsequently display hand gestures relating to [DATA EXPUNGED]. After █ minutes, SCP-1487's eyes opened and all appendages on SCP-1487 began a countdown similar to SCP-1487-3, with the distinction of each hand diminishing value simultaneously. This event coincided with the loss of ██ personnel within Site 23, who all suffered cardiac arrest. Momentary lack of personnel within Site 23 contributed to 3 containment breaches of SCP's within, and 6 subsequent personnel deaths during efforts to secure said SCP's.

Father pleased it today. I was proud. He's been teaching that one must give up one's life for those they love. They demonstrated with Mrs. Haverson. She had a look of fear in her eyes, but I could tell it was because no one had ever met Deus. This was new for everyone.
