Iron Gambit

## Basic Info

SCP-7161, more known by it's moniker "Iron Gambit", is an anomalous deck of cards that holds quasi-sentience that is only achievable through usage. Alongside this the deck has the ability to grant its holder four separate powers under certain parameters.

## SCP-7161 (The Iron Gambit)

### Faction

The Church Of The Broken God (Current), Mechanicals Collective (Former), The Foundation (Former)

### Abilities/Skills

Metal Armor (Street<->City), Metal Throne (High Speeds), Metal Body (Logia), Wildcard (Undetermined, Spun)

## Backstory

##### Mechanical Collective

After a mishap caused by Site Security █████ ███████ (who has since been terminated), the Iron Gambit fell back into the possession of the Mechanical Collective. Under surveillance, the Mechanical Collective made use of the deck of cards in multiple live performance art exhibits across New York City. The 7161-B in question, ████ ██████, would be spotted on multiple occasions using 7161 as a means to gain following on their social media account (@███████).

In an attempt to regain possession of 7161, MTF Unit Nu-19 ("Mage Seekers") would begin an espionage mission by monitoring ██████(7161-B). It would be during this operation that Nu-19 would witness the fateful encounter between 7161-B and the Hight-Threat Bloody Hand of the Zealot. Opting to not engage, Nu-19 would record the encounter between the two which would only last a couple minutes.

Without fail, the Bloody Hand would easily dispatch ██████, terminating them and taking 7161 into the Church's possession.

##### Church of The Broken God

No new sighting of 7161 has been cataloged since the fight witnessed by Nu-19.

## Extra Info (Lore)

##### Seizure

After a siege on a Mechanical Collective Gallery in ██████, CA (Operation Forgery, MTF Unit Sigma-881 ("Harwols")), the Iron Gambit was one among several items confiscated and put into containment.

##### Testing (Foundation)

The deck of cards would be contained in a 2'x2'x1.3' box and moved to Site-122-A for testing.

During tests it was found out that despite the steady pulling of the suits Spades, Hearts, and Diamonds, the suit Clubs had a much lower chance of being drawn from the top of the deck; even after removing all cards from the other suits (which would always return as soon as the tester would draw).

Any tester/holder of 7161 is classified as an instance of 7161-B.

##### Powers

The Powers granted by the suits are as follows:

* Hearts: A suit of metal armor is placed onto the subject with varying durability. This durability has ranged from being able to take small arms fire all the way to surviving a direct impact of a 120mm AP fired from an artillery cannon. Durability varies across the value of the suit.
* Diamonds: Following the same principle of value as the previous suit, the Diamond summons a Metal Throne (size varies) that operates as transportation with varying speeds. All principles of Newtons Laws are diminished for the user while sitting in the chair, proven when forcing an immediate stop after reaching 280mph.
* Spades: Turns the user into a metallic version of themselves that has varying malleability. At base, objects travelling below 25mph will pass through the Subject without harming them, anything higher will cause damage as the Subject's body cannot react. At peak, speeds moving even past Mach 2 cannot damage the Subject.
* Clubs: This suit has no consistent power that is enabled upon drawing them. It is suggested that the value of the suit will determine the practicality of what is granted to the Subject.

On top of this the Foundation cataloged conversations had between the Subject and 7161. So much profanity was involved in these conversations that recorded data requires Director clearance or higher.
