アイテム番号: SCP-2114

Object Class: Euclid

オブジェクトクラス: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-2114 are to be housed in one of four standard terrariums in a soundproofed, BC-L1 room, equipped with an airtight door seal. Terrariums are to be maintained as per standard for domestic rats, with a layer of pine shavings (cleaned weekly), a water bottle (changed daily), an exercise wheel, and standard toys for pet rats. Diet is to be standard nutritional pellets for rodents. All feeding and maintenance is to be carried out by hand; under no circumstances are automated feeding devices to be used.

特別収容プロトコル: 全てのSCP-2114実体は、密閉式扉を装備した防音室BC-L1のテラリウムのいずれかに収容されます。テラリウムは通常のネズミの飼育と同様に管理され、松のおがくず、水瓶、回し車、ネズミ飼育用の玩具が設置されます。食事は通常のネズミの飼育用ペレットを与えます。全ての給餌、管理作業は素手で行い、いかなる状況においても自動給餌器を使用してはなりません。

In the event that the number of instances of SCP-2114 exceeds thirty (30) individuals, excess instance are to be euthanized and their remains incinerated. Any wild instances of SCP-2114 are to be destroyed. Male and female instances are to be kept strictly quarantined from each other except in the case of approved testing. Offspring of the original instances possess the same anomalous traits as their parents.

SCP-2114実体の個体数が30を超過した場合、余剰の実体に対して安楽死処置を行い、死体は焼却されます。全ての野生のSCP-2114実体は破壊されます。実験のために許可された場合を除き、雌雄間の個体数差は同一に保たれる必要があります。

All tests involving SCP-2114 are to take place in rooms sealed from the outside; said testing rooms are not to be unsealed until all instances are contained or destroyed.

Description: SCP-2114 is the designation for a colony of Rattus norvegicus originally discovered in a laboratory in ██████████, ██, in 20██. They were acquired by Foundation agents pursuing reports of anomalous radio activity and an outbreak of auditory hallucinations.

説明: [SCPオブジェクトの性質に関する記述]

The laboratory in question appeared to have been abandoned for less than █ days. Investigation revealed that the laboratory was owned by █████████ Incorporated, but company agents denied all knowledge of the location and its contents. The laboratory appeared to have been hastily stripped of all identifying material and much of its equipment. All of the remaining equipment was in a state of disrepair, as if it had been partially disassembled and/or destroyed. For a full list, see Document 2114-A

When found, only █ instances of SCP-2114 were alive, along with the material remains of █ additional instances. All the instances were dyed with a two-digit number on the back, from ██ to ██ inclusive and ██ to ██ inclusive; this suggests at least ██ instances remain unaccounted for.

Instances of SCP-2114 appear physically identical to the common white laboratory rat, and display normal behavior for their species. Examination has revealed no anomalous anatomical features, although slightly elevated levels of acetylcholine were present. It is assumed that SCP-2114 is cross-fertile with non-anomalous rats, but it is unknown whether their anomalous properties would be passed on to any offspring; testing is pending approval of the Site Director.

When introduced to any sort of mechanism with complex moving parts, all instance will begin to examine it via vision, taste, and touch, including paws and vibrissae. After an "examination period" of 5-10 minutes, the instances will proceed to disassemble the mechanism, unscrewing screws and bolts, prying apart casings, disconnecting wires, and otherwise undoing all connections. SCP-2114 has been observed to use the minimum amount of force necessary to disassemble the target mechanism, and damage to the mechanism is rare and usually minor. Instances of SCP-2114 will cooperate to disassemble the target mechanism, displaying unusual levels of coordination, thus enabling them to manipulate objects too large and complex for a single rat.

If SCP-2114 finds themselves unable to effectively disassemble a mechanism, they may attempt minor, controlled damage; for example, soldered wires will be bitten through, and glued seams may be gnawed. In such cases, SCP-2114 appears to focus on gaining access to all the significant areas of the mechanism as opposed to complete disassembly.

Once the target mechanism has been disassembled, all present instances of SCP-2114 will examine the individual components with noses, paws, tongues and vibrissae, passing them back and forth among each other. This second "examination period" is usually of similar length to the initial 5-10 minute period, though it may be longer in the case of larger mechanisms.

Once the secondary examination period has been completed, SCP-2114 will proceed to reassemble the target mechanism. As with the disassembly process, all present instances will work together to reattach wires, insert pegs, and otherwise return the mechanism to its original state. In cases where SCP-2114 is physically unable to return the mechanism to its original state, it will be made as close as possible; for example, soldered wires that have been bitten off will be bent so as to maintain contact with their original contact points. Once the target mechanism has been reassembled to the best of SCP-2114's ability, the collective instances will appear to lose interest and resume normal rodent behavior.

+ Test Log

- Close Test Log

Date: ██/██/20██
Test Mechanism: One electric clock-radio
Test Subjects: Six (6) adult instances.
Results: SCP-2114 disassembled, examined, and reassembled clock-radio. Clock-radio operated normally when plugged in.
Total Elapsed Time: 43 minutes.

Date: ██/██/20██
Test Mechanism: One electric clock-radio, which was struck by Agent Alexander with a wooden mallet until it ceased to function and showed significant damage to plastic housing.
Test Subjects: Six (6) adult instances.
Results: SCP-2114 examined, disassembled, and reassembled clock-radio. Damage to housing was not repaired, and broken fragments of housing were ignored. When plugged in, clock function operated normally, but radio would not receive any known stations. Instead, radio produced a high-pitched tone reminiscent of a theremin, which changed in pitch as different "stations" were selected. Further testing pending.
Total Elapsed Time: 56 minutes.

Date: ██/██/20██
Test Mechanism: One electric clock-radio, which had been disassembled into its component pieces.
Test Subjects: Six (6) adult instances.
Results: SCP-2114 examined and reassembled clock-radio, which operated normally when plugged in.
Total Elapsed Time: 28 minutes.

Date: ██/██/20██
Test Mechanism: Random assortment of components gleaned from one electric clock-radio, one nonfunctional cellular telephone, one electric space heater, and one coffee-maker.
Test Subjects: Six (6) adult instances.
Results: SCP-2114 examined components for an unusually long time [19 minutes] before proceeding to reassembly stage. Collective components were assembled into a single mechanism of unknown function. Approximately 75% of available components were used; remaining 25% were ignored after initial examination period. When powered, the mechanism produced a high-pitched whining sound but no other functions were apparent. Further testing pending.
Total Elapsed Time: 46 minutes.
Note: Researcher D██████ reported experiencing a sudden case of tinnitus during the final 9 minutes of this test.

Date: ██/██/20██
Test Mechanism: One Nokia-brand cordless house telephone and one Hewlett-Packard-brand desktop printer, both disassembled and their components mixed together.
Test Subjects: Six (6) adult instances.
Results: SCP-2114 examined components for 37 minutes before commencing reassembly. Instances assembled available components into a single mechanism of unknown function. Approximately 85% of available components were used; remaining 15% were ignored after initial examination period. When powered, the mechanism produced a "pulsing" noise that quickly cycled up beyond the human hearing range. Further testing pending.
Total Elapsed Time: 88 minutes.
Note: Mild headaches and tinnitus reported by nearby staff within approximately 15 minutes of this test.

Date: ██/██/20██
Test Mechanism: One Dell-brand laptop computer [nonfunctional due to faulty motherboard].
Test Subjects: Six (6) adult instances.
Results: SCP-2114 examined, disassembled, and reassembled computer. Minor damage to housing noted due to gnawing required to gain access. When powered, computer operated normally.
Total Elapsed Time: 67 minutes.
Notes: How on earth did they do that?

Date: ██/██/20██
Test Mechanism: 2003 red Volkswagon in "fair" condition.'
Test Subjects: Twelve (12) adult instances.
Results: SCP-2114 initially ignored vehicle, but after approximately 8 minutes, began exhibiting interest. Instances examined vehicle for 132 minutes before apparently losing interest again; however, after a brief pause for normal feeding, instances returned to vehicle and began disassembly. Per Agent Alexander's orders, standard food and water for SCP-2114 was provided and room was sealed. Test continued via video surveillance.
After approximately 3 hours, vehicle was observed visibly "leaning" to one side, as if it had sustained damage to left front wheel.
After 8 hours, vehicle was in a clear state of disassembly, with engine components scattered over the floor.
After 17 hours, vehicle appeared completely disassembled save for body and frame.
After 21 hours, instances were observed transporting components under the body of disassembled vehicle; assume reassembly has begun.
After 26 hours, flashing red lights were visible through openings of vehicle body.
After 30 hours, nearby individuals began reporting tinnitus, mild headaches, and one case of sudden nausea. Test ended, and all instances of SCP-2114 returned to normal habitats. A partially-assembled mechanism was found under the body of the vehicle, consisting of approximately 20% of available components excluding body and frame. Mechanism was powered by the vehicle's 12-volt battery. When power was removed, associated symptoms ceased. Further testing pending.
Total Elapsed Time: 30 hours.
