SCP Foundation/SCPs/SCP-RS-136

Item #: SCP-RS-136

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-RS-136 is to be stored in Secure Items Locker 26 at Site-██ when not in use. Personnel wishing to experiment with SCP-RS-136 should contact Dr. ████████ Wong for access.

Description: SCP-RS-136 is a fabric doll similar to those produced around Year ██ of the Fifth Age. It is significantly discolored, and shows wear and decay consistent with decades of use.

SCP-RS-136 enters an active state when rubbed or squeezed, and only when two or more persons are present. Simply touching SCP-RS-136 does not trigger any anomalous effects, nor does interacting with it when alone. SCP-RS-136 generally only responds to physical contact with human hands, although the effects can be activated through gloves. Additional details are provided in the experiment log.

Upon activation, SCP-RS-136 will cause all nearby human subjects - minus the one holding the object - to be pulled off the ground by an invisible force. Affected subjects are suspended █.█ to █.█ m above the ground for several seconds, during which they will make involuntary gestures with their extremities as if under the control of invisible strings. This itself appears to be harmless, although subjects may suffer minor injuries as a result of falling onto hard surfaces after the effects subside. The phenomenon generally lasts no more than ten (10) seconds, after which SCP-RS-136 becomes inactive for at least five (5) minutes. It is believed that SCP-RS-136 needs to "recharge" before its anomalous effect can manifest again.

Note from O5-█: Anyone caught using SCP-RS-136 for the purpose of pranks will be severely reprimanded.

SCP-RS-136 was recovered from Brother C███████ of the Edgeville Monastery. Agent █████ was conducting a routine sweep of the area when Brother C███████ approached him regarding the artifact. Brother C███████ appeared to be frightened of SCP-RS-136 and was eager to dispose of it, prompting Agent █████ to take custody of the object. Subsequent investigation revealed that Brother C███████ was not aware of Agent █████'s ties to the Foundation, and only contacted him because he felt he could trust Agent █████.

The anomalous properties of SCP-RS-136 were discovered when Agent █████ fidgeted with the doll during a Grand Exchange transaction, causing [DATA EXPUNGED] and widespread panic. The incident was explained as a malfunction of an experimental anti-gravity device.

''Note from O5-██: I've seen enough reports of people talking about the non-existent anti-gravity device. You guys seriously need to come up with better stories. If word of the Foundation gets out, then we're all royally screwed.''

Addendum RS-136-1: Experiment log RS-136

Experiment: RS-136-1 Date: ██ Rintra, Year █ of the Sixth Age Test: Researcher J. P. ████ pokes SCP-RS-136 with steel rod. D-3532 instructed to stand 1.5 m from ████. Result: No effect.

Experiment: RS-136-2 Date: ██ Rintra, Year █ of the Sixth Age Test: Researcher J. P. ████ brushes SCP-RS-136 with index finger. D-3532 instructed to stand 1.5 m from ████. Result: No effect.

Experiment: RS-136-3 Date: ██ Rintra, Year █ of the Sixth Age Test: Researcher J. P. ████ rubs SCP-RS-136 while wearing leather gloves. D-3532 instructed to stand 1.5 m from ████. Result: D-3532 experiences anomalous effect.

Experiment: RS-136-4 Date: ██ Rintra, Year █ of the Sixth Age Test: Researcher J. P. ████ rubs SCP-RS-136 while wearing steel gauntlets. D-3532 instructed to stand 1.5 m from ████. Result: D-3532 experiences anomalous effect.

Experiment: RS-136-5 Date: ██ Rintra, Year █ of the Sixth Age Test: D-3532 and D-3887 instructed to interact with SCP-RS-136 at the same time. Result: Both subjects experience anomalous effects.

Experiment: RS-136-6 Date: ██ Rintra, Year █ of the Sixth Age Test: Researcher J. P. ████ puts SCP-RS-136 in its container and violently shakes it. Result: No effect.

Experiment: RS-136-7 Date: ██ Rintra, Year █ of the Sixth Age Test: Researcher J. P. ████ rubs SCP-RS-136 without wearing anything on his hands. Five D-class personnel instructed to stand in a line at 1 m intervals from ████. Result: The three test subjects closest to ████ experience anomalous effects; the others are unaffected.

Note from researcher J. P. ████: Well, at least we have good idea of the range of this thing.
