SCP-018

**Item #:** SCP-018

**Object Class:** Euclid

**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-018 is to be
contained in the specialty metal restraint inside of a 1 m by 1 m by 1 m
 sealed box lined with heavy synthetic padding. The sealed box is then
submerged in the center of the 10 m by 10 m by 10 m polyethylene holding
 tank. If SCP-018 is to break free from the holding box, the
polyethylene-based 'goo' will slow down kinetic activity enough for
proper retrieval by containment personnel. Personnel entering SCP-018's
holding chamber are to wear specialized plating (found inside of SCP-018
 Observation), and a breathing apparatus before being lowered into the
polyethylene tank. If SCP-018 is loose outside of the polyethylene tank,
 personnel are advised to secure themselves in a separate room and close
 doorways or hatches to isolate SCP-018 until containment teams arrive.

**Description:** SCP-018 has the appearance of a Super
Ball made by the Wham-O company in 1969. It is six (6) centimeters in
diameter and coloured red. Found when the ██████████ company was hired
to clean out a warehouse that had Wham-O merchandise in it, SCP-018 was
noted to be able to bounce with extreme height. At first thought to be a
 pleasant child's toy, SCP-018 was able to bounce with over two hundred
percent (200%) efficiency (that is, if dropped one (1) meter, it would
bounce two (2), then four (4), then eight (8), then sixteen (16)). The
ball soon became a dangerous projectile, reaching speeds estimated at
over 100 km/h and damaging property and injuring five (5) in the city of
 █████████████. It came to a rest after several days in the nearby lake
of ████████, and was retrieved by SCP personnel. Due to the speed of the
 object, and the total surprise by its victims, no cover-up story was
required or initiated.

*█████████, I hope everything is well. The reason I write to you
is because I believe I have found a more effective method for retrieving
 new or escaped SCP objects. Yes, I realize we haven't had any progress
in reverse engineering whatever allows this thing to defy the laws of
thermodynamics, but we have come up with a very effective method for
integrating one of those new SCP-A5 Armor suits with this. Just hear me
out, we implant it into the bottom of a boot, rig up a little bit of a
mechanical device, and ta-da, the suit is now capable of jumping well
over a building. Also, if the wearer has their foot against something
they want dead, well, lets just say it delivers a helluva kick. All I
need is permission to modify one of the pre-existing SCP-A5 suits, and
you'll be able to actually capture ████████████, plus any other escaped
SCP objects. Trust me, when have I let you down in the past?*

-Dr. █████████

**Document #018-06:** Letter to Dr. █████████

*Dr. █████████,*

*Upon assignment, Agent ██████ was issued your modified SCP-A5
armor in retrieving SCP-███, and the results are mixed. Agent ██████ was
 able to place the ██████████ collar onto SCP-███, chase it through the
Amazon, and restrain it by dismemberment. However, due to a malfunction
of your 'little mechanical device', he was launched almost a mile into
the air and suffered two broken legs, seven broken ribs, a missing arm,
and a skull fracture upon hitting the water of Lake ███████████ on the
way back down. You will fix that before I authorize your armor for
common use.*

**Document #018-11:** Message to O5-█

*█████████, don't worry, it's fixed. But, I have some more ideas. If I can be granted the use of some water from SCP-006,
 SCP-███, and possibly SCP-███, I can deliver you a set of SCP-A5 armor
and an agent that can capture any, if not all, rogue or unattained SCPs.
 All I'm waiting on is your approval.*
