**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-7982 is to be kept in a standard containment locker at Site-21.

**Description:** SCP-7982 is an iron meteorite found in 1923 in Denmark, with a weight of 9 tonnes and a roughly ovaloid shape. SCP-7982 is mostly hollow, with the iron oxide only making up a shell-like structure approximately ten centimeters thick. The vast majority of the space inside of SCP-7982 is occupied by a sphere of iron[[footnote]] Trace amounts of Cobalt and Nickel are also present. [[/footnote]] with a diameter of eighty-seven centimeters, which is marked by a highly complex Widmanstätten pattern covering roughly 97% of its surface. 

Unlike all other known meteorites, the Widmanstätten pattern contained in SCP-7982 is highly organized in a semi-fractal pattern, with different sectors and pathways forming partly overlapping networks across the entire surface. These sectors vary in size, with the largest one covering 35 cm^^2^^ and the smallest one covering 38 nm^^2^^.[[footnote]] This is considered to be the smallest possible size, as the Hoffmann effect becomes exponentially weaker at sizes below 45 nm^^2^^. [[/footnote]]  

At two diametrically opposed points of the sphere, two cylinders protrude from the surface and extend past the iron oxide shell of SCP-7982. Exposing one of these cylinders to an electric current results in the other one generating a low-strength electric current with a rapidly fluctuating voltage, effectively acting as a data-transmitting cable. 

Connecting this cylinder to a computational system shows that SCP-7982 is able to act as a computer-like object itself. Although the specific structure of SCP-7982 differs significantly from non-anomalous computers, it is possible to run external programs on the object with some minor alterations. 
 
SCP-7982 has a peak system performance of 20.9 TFLOPS[[footnote]] Achieved in a vacuum chamber. [[/footnote]] , which is roughly equivalent to the performance of a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 GPU. It is estimated that SCP-7982 contains about 3.4 TB of storage space.

> **Request:** To reinstate prior security protocols for SCP-7982.
> @@ @@
> **Reason:** SCP-7982 remains highly vulnerable to attempts to remove it from containment. Returning to a baseline of security would be a necessary measure to protect it from hostile agents, given that there have been several attempted containment breaches in the past.

> However, a decades-long decline in our budget caused progress to slow down immensely - one single researcher simply cannot be as productive as an entire team of twenty researchers.
