**Item #:** SCP-9043

**Object Class:** Keter

**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-9043 is suspended within an extremely large, Electrostatic Levitation (ESL) vacuum chamber at Site-46.[[footnote]]A scientific apparatus capable of utilizing strong electric fields to suspend electrostatically-charged objects.[[/footnote]] The apparatus itself is installed with multiple Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems[[footnote]]A type of system that utilizes cameras to perform high-speed, automated visual checks for defects. A process commonly utilized for common manufacturing of produced goods.[[/footnote]] and smart meters for observation and measurement purposes respectively. 

No unauthorized electrostatic phenomena or personnel are allowed within a 12 meter radius of SCP-9043. All maintenance efforts must be performed by robotic instruments and occur during the apparatus' operation; deactivation of the apparatus is strictly prohibited.

**Description (Provisional):**[[footnote]]Confirmation has not yet been officialized.[[/footnote]] SCP-9043 is a singular sock.

While SCP-9043's exact parameters are presently unclear, empirical evidence indicates its capabilities still revolve around altering standard electrostatic phenomena //(See -- Addendum.01.)// --It is currently unknown if this effect is inherent to SCP-9043, or strongly aggravated by SCP-9043-1.--

SCP-9043-1 is the remains of a human foot. As of writing, it is still donning SCP-9043 //(See -- History.)//

= **[[size 130%]]{{__HISTORY__}}[[/size]]**

SCP-9043 was originally a pair of matching socks. Due to GoI-002's interference[[footnote]]See Incident-9043-Alpha.[[/footnote]] one set was heavily damaged, prompting emergent reconstruction. Reconstruction was believed successful until mid-reevaluation. During experimentation, a flash of light manifested in the testing chamber, resulting in D-00600's disappearance; only SCP-9043-1 and SCP-9043 were left behind.

Following the loss of the reconstructed set, SCP-9043 underwent multiple unprecedented alterations. This process occurred gradually, causing SCP-9043's original properties to deteriorate and containment procedures to be regularly remodeled in tandem //(See -- Addendum.01.)//

**Procedure:** Removal of SCP-9043-1 from SCP-9043.

**Result:** Failure; both objects are intensely adhered to each other.

**Notes:** SCP-9043's containment locker was later remodeled with refrigerative capabilities.
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]
**Procedure:** N/A.

**Result:** The interior of SCP-9043's containment locker was found to be damaged by joule heating and galvanic corrosion. SCP-9043 and SCP-9043-1 were found to be intact.

**Notes:** Results were viewed with perplexity as refrigeration was not impeded and corrosion should not have occurred given the unit's composition and construction.
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]
**Procedure:** SCP-9043 and SCP-9043-1 were electrically measured.

**Result:** The electroscope's results were inconclusive. The electrometer short-circuited.

**Notes:** Procedure was inadvertently prolonged by outside factors; staff noticed SCP-9043-1's inability to undergo autolysis.[[footnote]]A process in which cells and tissues are destroyed by their own enzymes. A process that immediately occurs after death.[[/footnote]]
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]
**Procedure:** A tissue recovery technician was to extract samples from SCP-9043-1.

**Result:** The technician suffered a fatal, high-voltage electrical injury.  It is believed SCP-9043's electrical potential transferred into the technician via his scalpel. However, this should not have been possible, as the scalpel's handle was constructed from ASB plastic, an extremely poor electrical conductor.

**Notes:** Post-procedure, SCP-9043-1 began periodically twitching.
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]
**Procedure:** A diagnosis was performed.

**Result:** Midway through diagnosis, all nearby objects[[footnote]]Including attending personnel.[[/footnote]] began producing and discharging electric arcs between each other in an erratic manner. Phenomenon lasted 30 minutes, inflicting 7 Foundation casualties. Both SCP-9043 and SCP-9043-1 were unharmed.

**Notes:** Data partially recovered. Electromyography devices confirm SCP-9043-1 still displays active potential. AOI systems detected a microscopic tear on SCP-9043, formed just prior to the incident.
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]
**Procedure:** SCP-9043-1 was heavily constrained through the use of custom-made fiberglass restraints. Direct handling of the object was accomplished through the use of robotic instruments.

**Result:** Fiberglass material was rapidly accumulating heat. Robotic instruments quickly dismantled the restraints; a small section of SCP-9043 was slightly singed. Following this, all objects within a 4 meter radius of SCP-9043 were regularly subjected to violent electrical phenomena. 

**Notes:** This property of SCP-9043 appears to be permanent.
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]
**Procedure:** N/A.

**Result:** Dr. Hadger was found lying unconscious on the floor; both his finger and a nearby door knob exhibited signs of severe electrical damage. Experimenting with an array of test items[[footnote]]Balloons, rugs, hair samples etc.[[/footnote]] it was officially confirmed that SCP-9043 was now capable of augmenting standard electrostatic phenomenon, usually elevating them to an exacerbated state.

**Notes:** Incident occurred 5 meters away from SCP-9043's containment location.
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]
**Procedure:** A large multitude of anti-static safeguards[[footnote]]Static remover spray, high humidity, various anti-static materials etc.[[/footnote]] and a long-ranged AOI system were utilized against SCP-9043.

**Result:** AOI systems confirmed additional microscopic tears had formed within SCP-9043, presumably caused by SCP-9043-1's constant motion. It is now hypothesized that any damage sustained to SCP-9043 increases both its electrostatic properties and radius.

The anti-static safeguards proved to be completely ineffective.

**Notes:** SCP-9043's radius has increased to 6 meters; emergency containment protocols were engaged.
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]
**Procedure:** Decommission SCP-9043.

**Result:** Never enacted. According to Foundation physicists and [[[SCP-2305]]][[footnote]]A sheaf of papers that gives information on how to neutralize other SCP objects. These methods proposed by SCP-2305 tend to fail or backfire in spectacular fashion, usually to the Foundation’s detriment.[[/footnote]] it is suggested these efforts would not only result in Site-46's destruction but also permanently alter the effects of static electricity in a grave and disastrous manner.

**Notes:** SCP-9043's radius has increased to 10 meters.
[[/div]]


[[div class="note"]]
**Procedure:** N/A.

**Result:** A bright flash of light manifested in the testing chamber; the surrounding floor vanished. SCP-9043 fell into several office cubicles below. 20 minutes later, another flash of light manifested; all nearby objects and surrounding floor vanished. After an additional 20 minutes, the same phenomenon occurred once more.

**Notes:** MTF Epsilon-11 (“Nine-Tailed Fox”) was deployed.
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]
**Procedure:** N/A. Procedure was not officially organized.

**Result:** Through quick planning, expediting costs, dubious authorization, and the unconventional usage of multiple anomalies, MTF Epsilon-11 managed to construct a fully functional experimental ESL vacuum chamber. SCP-9043 was promptly suspended within the device. Containment breach was deemed resolved.

**Notes:** //(See -- Special Containment Procedures.)//
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]
**Procedure:** Another diagnosis was performed.

**Result:** Research staff discovered that the anomaly in totality held both a positive and negative charge simultaneously, a phenomenon that directly violates Coulomb's Law. 

Furthermore, considering the static charging of matter and its progressive exacerbation of static electricity, it is now believed all vanished objects had actuality been instantaneously vaporized by SCP-9043 via an overwhelming and anomalous variation of electrical heating.

**Notes:** This variation of heating is believed to be what caused D-00600's disappearance. Why this phenomenon did not manifest early, and the reasoning behind SCP-9043-1's existence is still unclear.

Proper containment measures were eventually realized. SCP-9043's properties progressively worsen, albeit at a moderately slow rate. It is now believed that should containment measures fail, all matter within a 12 meter radius of SCP-9043 will instantaneously vaporize.

However the cost for apparatus construction, refinement, and constant operation was unexpectedly exorbitant. This normally would not be cause for alarm, would it not be for GoI-002's aforementioned campaign. Not only is the organization becoming more audacious, their endeavours appeared to have caused other GoIs to surge in activity. This, combined with proliferating expenditures -- if left unabated -- would put the Foundation in high risk of instability and financial ruin.

As such, the Foundation was highly pressed to avoid this scenario. Requirements for Thaumiel class designation were loosened; it was now appropriate for catalogued SCP objects to be utilized for mitigation purposes -- this include SCP-9043 //(See -- Addendum.03.)//

**Event Description:** Water was siphoned into the apparatus in hopes of further reducing SCP-9043's properties; the water quickly boiled. This process was immediately reversed out of fears of damaging SCP-9043; remaining water was either siphoned out, or naturally evaporated. 

**Notes:** During finalization, severe thunderstorms had abruptly formed near Site-46;  GoI-002's involvement is speculated.
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]

**Event Description:** SCP-9043 began producing numerous plasma filaments; the vacuum chamber emulated the properties of a plasma globe. AOI systems confirmed additional microscopic tears in SCP-9043. 

**Notes:** Research staff expressed concern until it was learned that engaging in capacitive coupling with the apparatus' viewports briefly diminished SCP-9043's electrostatic properties, albeit negligibly.

[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]

**Event Description:** A new attachment was meticulously installed into the apparatus; attachment primarily featured a series of air terminals[[footnote]]Also referred to as lightning rods.[[/footnote]] connected to an energy storage system. Following installation, SCP-9043 continuously transmitted electric energy into the attachment's air terminals.

**Notes:** SCP-9043's properties were confirmed to continuously wane; however, the rate of diminishment was only slightly higher than previously recorded. Regardless, research staff expressed contentment at the news.
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]

**Event Description:** The attachment's functionally surpassed initial expectations, harvesting an exorbitant amount of energy. However, any electrical device supplied with this energy universally short-circuited upon activation.

**Notes:** When examined, the device's components exhibited signs of Electrical Over-Stress (EOS).[[footnote]]Commonly known as overvoltage.[[/footnote]]
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]

**Event Description:** All unactivated devices from the previous event were arbitrarily vaporized in sporadic intervals; surrounding matter was also vaporized.

**Notes:** It was determined the apparatus' energy storage system was rapidly approaching maximum capacity; containment breach warning systems were promptly engaged.
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]

**Event Description:** Energy was drawn from the storage system and supplied into large, custom-made batteries intended for disposal. The Foundation convoy transporting these batteries was attacked by GoI-002. Despite being heavily armed and outnumbering the convoy, all GoI-002 members perished.[[footnote]]The convoy themselves suffered no casualties.[[/footnote]] All GoI-002 members died from electrocution; identification was impossible as the bodies were severely burned.

**Notes:** Forensic analysis revealed the electricity originated from the convoy vehicle itself, specifically the semi-trailer. Aside from it displaying signs of electrical damage, the batteries inside were perforated by bullet holes and were found to be completely drained when inspected.
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]

**Event Description:** Tests were conducted on SCP-9043's energy, which primarily involved supplying it to electrical circuitry.[[footnote]]Wiring, motherboards, transistors etc.[[/footnote]] When physically damaged, these circuits emitted high-intensity electrical arcs. When these circuits were supplied with both SCP-9043's energy and standard electricity, the produced arcs instantly vaporized matter on contact.

**Notes:** Energy sourced from SCP-9043 was now designated SCP-9043-A.
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]

**Event Description:** Foundation assets constructed an experimental projectile weapon from parts sourced from decommissioned superweapons.[[footnote]]Standard and anomalous, including those directly commissioned by the Foundation or acquired from other GoIs.[[/footnote]] This weapon was supplied with SCP-9043-A, and standard electricity and tested in various artificial climates. The weapon operated as expected. However it was highly cumbersome and short-ranged; offensively deployment was impractical.

**Notes:** Research staff noticed that when testing in humid and/or moist climates, severe thunderstorms abruptly manifested nearby.
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]

**Event Description:** SCP-9043-A shared similar properties with SCP-9043 but differs by affecting general electrical phenomena through direct contact. These effects persisted through energy conversion and phase transitions; effects only ceased through production of an electric discharge. SCP-9043-A is confirmed responsible for the anomalous manifestation of thunderstorms, resulting from the unintentional release of contaminated water vapor from prior experimentation with SCP-9043.

**Notes:** Following this discovery, Foundation assests managed to identify the individuals who orchestrated the latest incursion against Site-46; they currently resided in a crucial GoI-002 stronghold in █████, ████████.
[[/div]]

[[div class="note"]]

**Event Description:** A latex balloon was overinflated with SCP-9043-A-contaminated water vapor; several miniature robotic attachments were also manually adhered to it. The balloon was then discreetly deployed over a GoI-002 stronghold in ████████. These attachments charged the balloon with static electricity before forcibly rupturing it.

**Item #:** SCP-9043

**Object Class:** Thaumiel

**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-9043 is to be held inside an anti-static containment locker at Site-46. Application of this procedure is solely contingent upon SCP-9043 being supplied with SCP-9043-1.

When integrated with SCP-9043-1, SCP-9043 is housed in a modified ESL vacuum chamber at Site-46. This system continuously harvests SCP-9043-A. To ensure consistency, D-00600’s remains will continue to serve as the primary substrate for SCP-9043-1; when inactive, the substrate is stored in a mortuary cooler for biological preservation.

**Description:** SCP-9043 is an electrostatically-charged sock, incessantly switching between a positive and negative charge.

Any solid object (SCP-9043-1) inserted into SCP-9043 results in the anomaly's properties progressively intensifying; all electrostatic phenomena that occur within a 12 meter radius of SCP-9043 will be augmented to an exacerbated state. Only removal of SCP-9043-1 will revert SCP-9043 to an innocuous state.

SCP-9043-A designates electrical energy harvested from SCP-9043. Physical contact with SCP-9043-A augments standard electrical phenomena. Effects range from localized hardware failure to anomalous Joule heating, depending on certain conditions //(See -- Project Xolotl.)//

= **[[size 130%]]{{__HISTORY__}}[[/size]]**

SCP-9043 was originally a match pair of socks possessing anomalous properties relating to static electricity. The anomaly was recovered from GoI-002 ("Chaos Insurgency") during their offensive campaign against the Foundation (2023-2027.)

Following Incident-9043-Alpha, SCP-9043’s primary set was recovered with an adhered D-class appendage, resulting from GoI-002's ("Chaos Insurgency") interference. Despite specialized protocols, the anomaly remains a significant threat, necessitating ongoing containment modifications. Simultaneously, Project Xolotl was established to counter GoI-002’s destabilization efforts against the Foundation.

It was observed that prolonged harvest of SCP-9043-A reduced SCP-9043's anomalous properties. Concurrently, a crucial GoI-002 stronghold was located. Foundation personnel dispersed SCP-9043-A-contaminated water vapor over the target area as an offensive measure. The stronghold was subsequently vaporized by a spontaneous manifestation of severe thunderstorms.

Following systematic neutralization of GoI-002 strongholds, the organization's operational capacity reached a terminal threshold, necessitating indefinite dormancy. Subsequently, SCP-9043 stabilized, permitting manual extraction of the integrated object. Other GoI activity quickly decreased as well.

SCP-9043's object class was soon upgraded from Keter to Thaumiel; decommissioning efforts were scrapped. The success of Project Xolotl prompted [[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/resurrection|reassessment of prevailing guidelines of SCP object utilization.]]] The Ethics Committee's objections were acknowledged; reassessment commenced regardless.
