Item Number: SCP-001

Object Class: Keter

Name: "Foundation Origins"

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-001 is to be held in a small keypadded safe, within a manually opened numerical safe, within a digitally operated numerical safe, within yet another fingerprint safe. Each of these are to be made of solid titanium,with the outer safe made 70mm thick, the next 60mm thick, the next being 50mm thick, and the inner safe being 40mm thick. Each of these safe's access methods will be given to a random D-class personnel, of which no other D-class personnel know of. SCP-001 is to be constantly monitored every other month by the D-class personnel assigned to SCP-001, equipped with a radiation-resistant suit. Upon entering SCP-001's cell, assigned D-class personnel is to open all 4 safes as soon as possible and activate SCP-001 quickly. Assigned D-class personnel will undergo intensive ARS (Acute Radiation Syndrome) management.

Description: SCP-001 is a .1m x .1m, hard-backed book, with a brown covering, and yellow parchment-like pages. Upon this book being opened, it will reveal the name of an unknown, undiscovered SCP. 24 hours after this event, a new SCP will appear randomly appear within 25 miles of SCP-001's location.

If not opened within 2 months, SCP-001 starts to slowly leak radiation; Studies show this has the penetrating power of gamma radiation, needing several decimeters of concrete to stop, yet having the ionization power of alpha radiation. This makes this a very, very lethal energy. As such, the foundation has resorted to making sure it's not able to let this radiation leak.

However, the foundation has also found that the closer the book is opened to the moment of leaking radiation, the more dangerous an SCP gets. Thus, the opposite is thought to be true. However, the risk of spawning two powerful SCPs next nearly simultaneously was too great, and the normal schedule was kept in place.
