The Oblongatron

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a 10M x 10M x 4M room with walls made of 10-cm steel. Nothing should be in the room other than SCP-XXXX, three (3) basic security cameras, three (3) thermal-vision security cameras, and three (3) infrared security cameras.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a 3.24 meter-long, oblong horizontal cylinder, rounded at both ends. It is made of a smooth purple metal, and is floating 1.3 meters off the ground. It has a door located equatorially that can be opened from both the interior and the exterior. On the opposite side, the word 'OBLONGATRON' is printed across it lengthwise in red wood-type lettering with a white outline, similar to a carnival ride.

If SCP-XXXX's door is closed while virtually any mammal, reptile, bird or fish¹ is inside, it will spin centrifugally and accelerate indefinitely at a rate of 0.25m/s. Presumably, this acceleration could go on until reaching the speed of light [due to the object not exhibiting any signs of stress no matter the speed of rotation, but no organism insofar has survived more than 706 m/s ]. This acceleration continues until the organism inside is dies or exits SCP-XXXX. If the door is opened during acceleration, one of the following things will happen:

• If the door is opened from the outside, SCP-XXXX will stop accelerating and maintain its current velocity as long as there is a suitable living entity inside.
• If the door is opened from the inside, SCP-XXXX will immediately decelerate at a rate of 0.5m/s until it comes to a complete stop.

There is also an emergency stop button located inside the and to the left of the door at roughly eye level, that, if pressed, slows SCP-XXXX at a rate of 4.5m/s.

The interior of SCP-XXXX is tightly upholstered with red velvet, including the items within. Inside SCP-XXXX is a table with a candle on it, three dining chairs, and a television. The television and candle are both useless, due to the red velvet coating, and the fact that the TV is not plugged into an outlet.

The objects can be moved and lifted, by external forces, but remain perfectly stationary under the force of the centrifuge. They cannot, however, be removed from the anomaly. If said action is attempted, there will be a extremely strong repulsion between the object and the outside of SCP-XXXX. While the force can presumably be overcome, no tests have yet succeeded in doing so. However, objects other than the initial ones can enter and leave SCP-XXXX with no problems whatsoever, leading many researchers to believe that these items were a part of SCP-XXXX since its creation.

Notable Experiment Log:

Test A - 2/19/20██

Subject: D-33049
Procedure: D-33049 was placed in the object, and told that she could exit SCP-XXXX at any time she wished.
Results: D-33049 remained in SCP-XXXX until it reached a speed of 33m/s. She then opened the door and exited once it reached 3m/s.

Test B - 8/11/20██

Subject: D-34002 and a security wireless camera
Procedure: D-34002 was instructed to enter SCP-XXXX and mount a wireless camera at one end of its interior. He was then instructed to close its door from the inside and sit in one of its seats until further notice.
Results: The camera was set up successfully, and D-34002 died upon SCP-XXXX reaching speeds of 108mps. The camera had a thin layer of fuzz on it upon completion.

Test C - 11/4██

Subject: D-38077
Procedure: D-38077 was given an exosuit to help him withstand the force of the Oblongatron. He was told to move on of the chairs to the center of SCP-XXXX, close the door, and sit.
Results: D-38077 was watched through the camera previously set up. The feed slowly became red-tinted, until it was entirely opaque. The subject became deceased at a speed of 631mps. When a researcher entered SCP-XXXX to retrieve the camera, he found it upholstered in red velvet. Close inspection of the exosuit revealed trace amounts of similar fibers. Thus, it appears that the velvet slowly upholsters anything foreign during rotation, but does not engulf things while stationary.

The Suicide Rewind Button

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be held in a bulletproof glass cube while being watched by three (3) security cameras, with each feed being continuously monitored by a C-class personnel.

Description: SCP-XXXX is two (2) pistol grips from a Colt 1911 .45 handgun, identical in every aspect to each other. It is solid, and thus cannot hold a magazine. There is no trigger. Where normally the grip would connect to the rest of the gun, there is instead a button, protected by a transparent plastic cover. If any person presses the button while holding SCP-XXXX, they will immediately have a massive heart attack and die. However, exactly two minutes prior to pressing the button, an identical copy of the subject will appear somewhere within a four meter radius. This copy seems to be the same person as the subject, transported back in time two minutes. However, this does not make any physical sense, for two reasons:

• Objects that induce temporal transportation that have been previously studied by the Foundation all transport through relative timelines, unlike this one, which transports tempomnisally. Despite there only being a two minute period with two of the same person, this has the potential to cause many paradoxes.
• The mass of the copy seems to come from nowhere. This would not be a problem if the mass of the subject was transferred through time to create the version of the subject created two minutes prior to the button is pressed, but it seems that only the consciousness is transferred.

There is also switch on the side that is labeled with two options: "No", and "Time Loop". [See experiment log C and D]

Experiment Log

Test A - 5/13/196█

Subject: D-1955
Procedure: D-1955 was ushered into the testing chamber. He was given a stopwatch and SCP-XXXX, and told to start the stopwatch whenever he pleased, but he had to press the button on SCP-XXXX exactly two minutes after starting the stopwatch.
Results: 0.34 seconds after D-1955 started the stopwatch, D-1995-2 materialized behind him. D-1995-2 cleared his throat, and D-1995 turned around, startled. They discussed for almost two minutes, D-1995 confused and D-1995-2 explaining, while D-1995. D-1995 began fearing that he would die upon pressing the button, but D-1995-2 explained that he would not die, but just become the person he was talking to. Throughout the conversation, D-1995 was obsessively checking his stop watch. He activated SCP-XXXX exactly 0.34 seconds after the stopwatch hit two minutes, and immediately crumpled to the floor.

Test B - 9/11/196█

Subject: C-1185
Procedure: C-1185 was told to open the plastic cover to the button, turn SCP-XXXX upside down, and drop it on the button.
Results: Nothing happened.

Test C - 1/7/197█

Subject: D-2234
Procedure: D-2234 was issued into a 100k² warehouse under the Atlantic Ocean, told to set SCP-XXXX to 'Time Loop', press the button, and see what happened.
Results: D-2234-2 was frozen in place upon appearing. She did not move until D-2234 pressed the button and died. The instant that D-2234-2 unfroze, D-2234-3 appeared. Immediately two minutes after both of those events, D-2234-2 pressed the button on SCP-XXXX, causing D-2234-3 to unfreeze and D-2234-4 to appear. This pattern has continued constantly, with monthly checks as to if it is still happening. [Last check as of writing: March 1981]

[Personal Note from Dr. Va████: "I'm really, really glad we chose such a large place for that experiment. Last I heard, there are a little over a million corpses down there."]

Test D - 2/19/198█

Subject: D-4002
Procedure: D-4002 was given the same instruction as D-2234. C-1932 was told to remove SCP-XXXX from the testing chamber after four loops.
Results: SCP-XXXX was successfully removed at the desired time. D-4002-5 sat down and fell asleep upon not being able to activate SCP-XXXX. She woke up three hours later, and resumed normal D-Class life with no problems.

Footnotes

1. Upon further research, earwigs, mantises, and locust begin the rotation, and crows and bulls do not (Cows do, however). It is unknown why certain animals begin rotation while others do not, but it is possible and associatively evident that if an animal goes through complete metamorphosis it does not activate SCP-XXXX, explaining the exclusion of amphibians and many insects. However, there are obviously other variables, due to the fact that only the three insects above begin rotation, despite many other insects undergoing incomplete metamorphosis, and the two animals above denying activation.
