Item #: SCP-CN-1733
Object Class: Thaumiel
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-CN-1733 is held in a safe in Area-CN-2510. All Foundation personnel may request to use the object provided they have good reason to, and are to return it after use. Personnel are not to bring SCP-CN-1733 outside of Foundation facilities.
SCP-CN-1733-1 produced during use are to be held in a telekill alloy box for 12 hours before being disposed off in any other body of water.
Description: SCP-CN-1733 is a manuscript of unknown era; its contents are in a language not used by any terrestrial civilization. The object is severely worn; its cover has been soaked in an unknown fluid and is illegible. When a human subject picks up SCP-CN-1733 while not in the presence of another human that can see the pages, its contents will appear in a language that the subject can understand, describing a ritual that can impart anomalous powers to liquids.
The ritual involves various kinetoglyphs and unknown spells; when performed following the steps shown in the object to sufficient precision, the performer is capable of transforming all bodies of water in a 20m radius into SCP-CN-1733-1. The external appearance of SCP-CN-1733-1, as well as its molecular structure and taste, are identical to normal water; however, this liquid is capable of cleansing objects of the concept given to it by the performer. This cleansing occurs immediately on contact, and typically follows various laws of physics; in addition, the concept defined as the "cleansing target" will be completely removed from the cleansed object. Following initial testing, it was determined that this effect does not affect telekill alloy.
Following tests, SCP-CN-1733-1 is effective for 12 hours; if any liquid water is added to a body of SCP-CN-1733-1 during its effective period, this effective period will reset. If within 12 hours no new liquid water is added, all SCP-CN-1733-1 produced by the user will return back to normal water.
Following this, the user will forget all information relating to the ritual; all memories of the ritual instructions will be converted to the unknown language on SCP-CN-1733. Visual records of the ritual are considered to not be effective, as the ritual will lose its effect after the user forgets about it, and the same or a different user will not be able to produce any effect using the recorded ritual.
Discovery: SCP-CN-1733 was discovered by Class D personnel during cleaning of SCP-173's containment chamber on 2020/1/1, covered in the feces and blood secreted by the statue. During the following tests, Site-19 researchers caused personnel losses due to poor handling of SCP-CN-1733. In view of the unknown language used in the object's contents and its ability to produce anomalous water, as well as the fact that Site-19 did not have an archaeology or tactical theology department, the object was transferred to Area-CN-2510 for investigation.
Testing Log: The following tests were conducted using an open telekill container of water.
Subject: Lab coat
Concept: Uncleanliness
Process: Place lab coat into SCP-CN-1733-1.
Result: The lab coat was instantly and completely cleaned upon being placed into the SCP-CN-1733-1; upon being removed, it instantly and completely dried.
Subject: Ceramic jar
Concept: Interior
Process: Pick up the jar using a mechanical arm and partially immerse it in SCP-CN-1733-1.
Result: The jar's interior became solid ceramic; the seam between the cover and the opening was completely filled.
Subject: 1kg iron clump
Concept: Weight
Process: Pick up the clump using a mechanical arm and immerse it in SCP-CN-1733-1.
Result: The iron clump bounced upward upon being fully immersed in SCP-CN-1733-1; as its speed slowly decreased due to air resistance, and nearby personnel felt a mild sense of weightlessness. Following this, the clump was attached to the table, and this effect ceased after an hour.
Subject: D-3153
Concept: Direction
Procedure: Tranquilize D-3153; immerse the lower half of his body in SCP-CN-1733-1.
Result: D-3153 was transformed into a blurry black shadow within one minute; it could be seen that he was struggling, but not where he was facing. All other details were imperceptible, D-3153 has been placed in a sealed box.
Subject: D-3002
Concept: The ability to forget
Process: Tranquilize D-3002; immerse the lower half of her body in SCP-CN-1733-1.
Result: D-3002 displayed symptoms such as nose bleed and eye dilation within one minute, then coughed up blood and died. Autopsy suggested the cause of death was cerebral hemorrhage from suddenly recalling an extremely large volume of memories.
Subject: Dr. WengWan
Concept: Poverty
Process: Place one drop of SCP-CN-1733-1 into Dr. WengWan's palm.
Result: Dr. WengWan's fixed assets remained unchanged; however, following this experiment, any purchase with a receipt would automatically be refunded to her account. It is unknown how SCP-CN-1733 achieves this effect.
Subject: D-5800
Concept: Imperfection
Process: Tranquilize D-5800; immerse the lower half of his body in SCP-CN-1733-1.
Result: D-5800 transformed into a pentagonal fractal organism within 10 minutes and was terminated as it attempted to escape the testing chamber. Corpse was held for autopsy.
Subject: Security Officer Element
Concept: Wounds and illnesses
Process: Place one drop of SCP-CN-1733-1 into Officer Element's palm.
Result: SCP-CN-1733-1 dissipated, following which Officer Element returned to a completely healthy state and became perpetually immune to various diseases.
Subject: D-3154
Concept: Mortality
Process: Tranquilize D-3154; immerse the lower half of their body in SCP-CN-1733-1.
Result: D-3154 did not show any anomalous effects and was returned to their dormitory. One week layer, they entered Sigma state due to a containment breach and have been contained in a sterilized room.
Addendum: SCP-CN-1733-1's long-term effects on the human body have been seen as isolated and active; it has been determined that the object will not cause harmful effects when carefully used. Due to SCP-CN-1733's anomalous qualities, it has been classified Thaumiel for further research.
According to research by Area-CN-2510's Archaeology Department and Department of Tactical Theology as well as investigations into the databases, at least ██ iterations of SCP-CN-1733 are present among the Foundation's contained anomalies. Thought to be directly related are SCP-076, SCP-4840 and [DATA EXPUNGED]. It is currently impossible to determine the true origin of SCP-CN-1733 based solely on what is known to the Foundation.
As the leads discovered by the Department of Tactical Theology far exceed all expectations in complexity, they have been sealed in Area-CN-2510's databases. Other than this document, all information relating to SCP-CN-1733 may not be publicized to other Foundation personnel. Currently, the object has been classified Thaumiel in order to draw attention from the source of the object to its method of use.
