SCP-4776

Ares’ Hammer, nicknamed "REAGANWEAPON." and classified as SCP-4776, is a thaumaturgical eigenweapon operated by PENTAGRAM that functions as a weapons satellite in Low Earth orbit. It functions by arming itself upon the creation of an SCP-4776-1 instance, before firing a photon beam at the rune to cause a sizable explosion. 
To protect its exact location, SCP-4776 has antimemetic properties, with anyone knowing its precise area forgetting it after a period of time. 
==History==
===Creation===
Ares' Hammer was one of fifty-seven eigenweapon prototypes created by PENTAGRAM, the occult branch of the US Department of Defense, as part of Operation ARES FORGE during the early 1980s. These weapons were built to enhance the US government's Strategic Defense Initiative, and further protect the United States and its interests.Entry Page: 4776

===Assassination of Michael Shah===
The SCP Foundation discovered the existence of Ares' Hammer after Matthew Shah defected from PENTAGRAM and handed off classified documents in exchange for protection, designating the eigenweapon as SCP-4776. 
On 12 January 1986, two PENTAGRAM UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters were given clearance to land at Storage Site-49 for repairs. Later that day, Senior Researcher Mathias was murdered during a smoke break in the central courtyard by a PENTAGRAM agent, who impersonated the late researcher with a few locks of hair. 
This agent then logged on Mathias' workstation and extracted numerous files on the Foundation Informant Protection Program onto an external hard drive, before leaving in Mathias' vehicle. Mathias' corpse was soon discovered, prompting a three-hour security lockdown. The agent could not be identified by security cameras leaving the facility, as they were obscured by an oak tree; the car was found abandoned 3.2 km (2 miles) from the base.
By 14 January, PENTAGRAM discovered the current location of Shah, under the alias of Ismail Thompson. A PENTAGRAM agent infiltrated his residence and drew SCP-4776-1 at the house, vacating the premises before SCP-4776 fired. This annihilated Shah and the house he was staying at; the assassination served as revenge for betraying PENTAGRAM. Shah's death was covered up as an explosion caused by a gas leak.
===Repercussions===
After a heated series of emails between Foundation Diplomatic Committee Representative Tyler Campbell and PENTAGRAM Senior Agent Robert Bishop were sent between 15-17 January, with Campbell asserting that PENTAGRAM violated the House Accord by killing Mathias and Shaw, and Bishop continuing to deny that they committed these events. 
This nearly was brought to conflict, before the Foundation Diplomatic Committee decided to use the Foundation's vast amount of knowledge on the US federal government's secrets under the Atreus Protocol. As a result, several documents were leaked to Middle Eastern publications, which became the Iran-Contra affair. Additionally, at an O5 Council-DoD summit at Camp David on 27 January, Campbell threatened to leak President Ronald Reagan's Alzheimer's status, as well as drawing the rune of 4776-1 on the table with a fingertip.
This ultimately caused Reagan to make a proposal during the summit; Clause 14 & Clause 23 (concerning the ban of Foundation military actions on US soil) would be removed from the House Accord in exchange for no Foundation units near or around Camp David, as well as any weaponry capable of targeting the resort from orbit; the O5 Council unanimously voted YEA for the proposal, instituting it fully.
==Alternate realities==
===04/23/87===
In this universe, the relationship between the United States and the SCP Foundation deteriorated immensely. This eventually resulted in O5-8 portraying Storage Site-23 in North Carolina as the nerve center for North American operations, despite it being very far from the truth. The tension came to a head on 23 April 1987 when President Ronald Reagan ordered the use of SCP-4776 by PENTAGRAM to destroy Site-23. Unusually, this was manually targeted by a team of technicians led by Lieutenant Carl Wessex, instead of using SCP-4776-1. 
While the weapon prepared to fire, Site-23 was evacuated and the SCP Foundation's North American assets were airlifted out of the country from the true nerve centers, such as Site-19. Eventually, the payload obliterated Site-23, and its remnants were picked over by the PENTAGRAM and the FBI UIU.04/23/87
