SCP-4461

SCP-4461 ("lonely at the bottom, innit") is an infohazardous 73mm leather sphere filled with sand, contained at an unknown SCP Foundation facility in France. When someone in a position of leadership becomes aware of 4461, they become an instance of SCP-4461-A and the chain of command underneath them is affected by increased inefficiency, failure, and catastrophe that grows in severity, though it does not affect 4461-A instances and those above them in the chain of command.
==History==
===Origins===
It remains unknown where SCP-4461 originated from, but it eventually came into the possession of a privateer who came to reside in Clew Bay, Ireland after he became an instance of SCP-4461-A and inadvertently caused the death of his crew and the sinking of his vessel.Entry Page: 4461
===Discovery by the COUC===
In 1691, COUC agent Henry Abiel came across the drunk privateer in Clew Bay, telling Abiel of his woes. After Abiel obtained the object, dubbed Manifest #349, he too suffered as well. Most of the Commission agents under his command died in various circumstances, and Abiel was relieved of duty. He buried the object near the COUC Headquarters, turned in his resignation, and committed suicide, as he was the only one who knew about the leather sphere and thus the only one affected.
===Containment===
It is unknown how the SCP Foundation obtained 4461, but it eventually ended up in their possession. They discovered the anomalous properties of the object and dubbed it as SCP-4461 with the classification of Keter. An O5 Council member became an instance of 4461-A, and wrote out the protocols for its containment before ending their life.
