SCPA-EN-00017 Report

Item #: SCPA-EN-00017

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCPA-EN-00017 is to be kept in a standard Safe-class containment locker at Site-██. Access to SCPA-EN-00017 is restricted to personnel with Level 2 clearance or higher, and all handling of SCPA-EN-00017 must be done while wearing gloves.

Description: SCPA-EN-00017 is a wooden cane with a silver head and a black leather grip, measuring approximately 87cm in length. The cane is in excellent condition considering its age, and shows no sign of wear or damage. Testing has revealed no anomalous properties of the object itself, but it is the manner in which SCPA-EN-00017 is wielded that gives it its anomalous effects. Subjects who hold SCPA-EN-00017 and concentrate on a particular joint can contort the corresponding body part in ways that defy normal physiology. The degree of contortion possible depends on several factors, including the subject's level of concentration, flexibility, and the initial range of motion of the joint in question.

Subjects who use SCPA-EN-00017 on their own bodies display a remarkable increase in joint mobility, with some able to bend and twist their limbs in ways that would ordinarily cause severe injury or permanent physical damage. However, subjects who attempt to contort another person's joints using SCPA-EN-00017 experience a different effect. Instead of simply contorting the joint in question, the subject's own body will begin to warp and twist in ways that can cause severe injury, disfigurement or even death.

Additional Information: SCPA-EN-00017 was recovered from an antique store in [REDACTED], England, and was initially thought to be a mundane or low-level anomalous item. Initial testing revealed the true extent of SCPA-EN-00017's effects, prompting it to be reclassified as Safe-class and relocated to a secure containment locker at Site-██. SCPA-EN-00017 is believed to have been in the possession of several prominent socialites in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, although its exact origins and previous owners are unknown.

Classification level: Level 2

Notice: SCPA-EN-00017 should only be handled while wearing gloves, and no personnel should attempt to use SCPA-EN-00017 on another individual. Any personnel caught attempting to use SCPA-EN-00017 in this manner will face disciplinary action up to and including termination.
