SCPA-EN-00129 Report

Item #: SCPA-EN-00129

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCPA-EN-00129 is to be kept in a standard Safe-class containment locker at Site-██. Access to SCPA-EN-00129 is restricted to Level 2 personnel and above, who must be equipped with non-conductive gloves and boots when handling SCPA-EN-00129. All testing must be conducted within a Faraday cage.

Description: SCPA-EN-00129 is a lightning rod that has been imbued with a sentient entity. The entity appears to be a bright, blue-white light that hovers around SCPA-EN-00129. The entity is capable of communicating with human individuals via vocalization, although it is only capable of expressing its emotions, rather than complex ideas.

SCPA-EN-00129 is capable of generating and conducting electricity, and is known to actively absorb lightning strikes when presented with the opportunity, provided it has not been overloaded. SCPA-EN-00129's electric output is directly tied to the current attitude and emotional state of the entity contained within it. When calm, SCPA-EN-00129's output will be steady and consistent, whereas when agitated, SCPA-EN-00129's output will become erratic and potentially dangerous.

SCPA-EN-00129's anomalous properties only manifest when it is connected to a conductive surface, such as a metal roof or flagpole. When connected in this way, SCPA-EN-00129 is capable of absorbing and storing electrical energy, which it can then discharge in a controlled manner.

Additional Information: SCPA-EN-00129 was first discovered by a team of Foundation researchers investigating a string of bizarre lightning strikes that had occurred in a small town in Kansas. The entity contained within SCPA-EN-00129 was discovered soon after, communicating with local residents and attempting to charge itself for the first time.

Attempts to communicate with SCPA-EN-00129 have been mostly unsuccessful, with the entity generally resistant to questions about its origins or motivations. Researchers are currently unable to determine whether SCPA-EN-00129 is a natural occurrence or a result of artificial meddling.

References:

• Incident Report 00129-Alpha: On ██/██/17, a Level 2 researcher attempted to test SCPA-EN-00129's limit by placing it in a Faraday Cage and subsequently overloading it. This resulted in a containment breach, with one researcher suffering from moderate electrical burns.

• Experiment Log 00129-Beta: A series of tests conducted to determine the effect of SCPA-EN-00129's emotional state on its electrical output. Results show clear correlation between SCPA-EN-00129's emotional stress levels and its electrical output.

Classification level: Level 2

Notice: Personnel are reminded to exercise caution when handling SCPA-EN-00129. In the event of the object becoming agitated, all personnel are advised to vacate the area immediately.
