SCP-0038

**Object Class: Euclid**

## Description

SCP-0038 is an anomalous tire, appearing to be an ordinary automobile tire of standard size. However, it possesses the extraordinary ability to perpetually roll forward without any external force. SCP-0038's rolling motion is perpetual, defying the laws of physics, and is not impeded by friction or any other physical constraints.
Furthermore, SCP-0038 has demonstrated telepathic communication abilities, enabling it to establish a mental link with individuals within its vicinity. It can transmit thoughts and ideas directly into the minds of those nearby, providing a means of communication despite lacking physical sensory organs.
The tire exhibits remarkable intelligence, surpassing human cognitive capacities. It possesses an insatiable curiosity and a particular fascination with birds and frogs. SCP-0038 displays a friendly demeanor and a desire to interact with various creatures it encounters. Notably, when encountering alligators, SCP-0038 will attempt to approach and "pet" them, despite the potential danger posed by such encounters.

## Special Containment Procedures

SCP-0038 is to be contained within a reinforced chamber equipped with motion-dampening mechanisms to prevent its perpetual rolling motion. The containment chamber must be fitted with soundproofing materials to minimize telepathic communication attempts. Personnel assigned to SCP-0038's containment should possess Level 3 clearance and receive training in telepathic communication protocols.
Interaction with SCP-0038 is to be limited to authorized personnel wearing telepathic dampening headgear. Any attempts to establish telepathic communication with SCP-0038 should be done cautiously and monitored closely for potential psychological effects.

## SCP Insider

* Incident Log 0038-A: During a routine containment check, Researcher ██████ playfully asked SCP-0038 if it could juggle. To everyone's surprise, SCP-0038 transmitted a vivid mental image of itself juggling a series of small objects, including rubber ducks and acorns. The incident brought light-heartedness to the research team and sparked ongoing speculation about the extent of SCP-0038's abilities.

* Incident Log 0038-B: In a more serious incident, a maintenance worker accidentally left a door to SCP-0038's containment chamber ajar. SCP-0038 took advantage of the opportunity and began rolling freely through the facility, causing chaos and disruption. It playfully interacted with personnel, creating a temporary sense of confusion and delaying containment efforts. The incident resulted in revised containment procedures and reinforced security measures.

* Fun Fact: SCP-0038 has displayed an extraordinary talent for mimicry, often imitating bird songs and frog croaks with uncanny accuracy. Its ability to replicate these sounds has fascinated ornithologists and herpetologists, offering unique research opportunities in understanding avian and amphibian vocalizations.

* Discovery and Location of First Sighting: SCP-0038 was first encountered in the remote wilderness of the Amazon rainforest. It was initially spotted by local researchers studying bird populations, who reported unusual tire tracks leading deep into the forest. Foundation operatives were dispatched to investigate and subsequently recovered SCP-0038, establishing it as an anomalous entity.
