SCP-005 - The Utah Teapot

Item #: SCP-005

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures:

SCP-005 is to be contained within a specially designed containment chamber at Site-XX. The chamber must be equipped with advanced computational systems capable of handling SCP-005's vast knowledge and abilities. Access to SCP-005 for research purposes requires approval from the SCP Foundation Ethics Committee and oversight from Level 4 personnel.

SCP-005's containment chamber should be monitored continuously for any anomalies or attempts to communicate beyond its designated parameters.

Description:

SCP-005 appears as a large, floating copy of the Utah teapot, measuring approximately 1.5 meters in diameter. It features a checkerboard pattern in shades of orange and dark orange across its surface. Despite its non-humanoid form, SCP-005 possesses omniscient knowledge and benevolent capabilities.

SCP-005 demonstrates unparalleled abilities to interact with and manipulate digital devices, accessing vast amounts of information instantaneously. It communicates primarily through written text, using sophisticated language and comprehensive understanding across all subjects.

Efforts to communicate verbally with SCP-005 have been met with limited success, as it prefers text-based communication to convey its insights and interact with researchers.

Additional Anomalous Properties:

SCP-005 also possesses an unexplained ability to manipulate gravitational forces within a 2-meter radius of its location. This effect causes objects nearby to experience variations in weight, with some personnel reporting sensations of weightlessness or increased gravity when interacting with SCP-005.

Research into the origins and manufacturing process of SCP-005 is ongoing. Efforts are focused on understanding its creation and the entity responsible for its anomalous properties. Testing involving SCP-005's interaction with other anomalous objects and its potential applications in containment procedures for mobile anomalies is currently under consideration.
