SCP-3416

Item #: SCP-3416
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3416 is to be stored upon a pedestal within a standard containment cell. A perimeter with a radius of 10 meters has been established around SCP-3416, in which all objects weighing less than 23kg are required to be bolted to a solid surface. Guards and personnel in proximity of the perimeter are to be wary of any spontaneously levitating objects, and must report such activity to the acting Hazardous Materials Containment Liaison (HMCL) supervisor on duty.
Access to SCP-3416 requires clearance from one level-3 personnel. A security team escort is required for any personnel entering SCP-3416's cell. Only personnel with level 4 psychic resistance or higher are permitted within a 6 meter perimeter of SCP-3416.
Any requests from SCP-3416 are to be handled on a case-by-case basis by the acting HMCL supervisor. Privileges available to SCP-3416 are dependent on behavior, with good behavior (defined here as being non-hostile and cooperative) allowing further requests after HMCL supervisor approval. SCP-3416 should not be permitted access to materials and objects more advanced than what would be present during pre-colonial Polynesia.
SCP-3416 has been deemed prone to emotional outbursts, and any activity indicating such should be reported to the active HMCL supervisor. A trained therapist1 is assigned to SCP-3416 with regular meetings.
Following the events of Interview Log 3416-8, SCP-3416 may be permitted live animal tribute as an option still dependent on the previous rules stated for requests.
Description: SCP-3416 is a clay object sculpted to resemble a head with a height of 80 centimeters. SCP-3416 is sapient and can project a disembodied voice within an 8-meter vicinity of itself. This voice is consistently described as being deep, loud, and masculine. This voice is always heard in a listener's primary language, albeit with a noticeable Polynesian accent.
SCP-3416 can move itself and objects weighing less than 23 kilograms via telekinetic ability. The range of this ability has shown to fluctuate, but typically remains within 10 meters of SCP-3416. The telekinetic force of SCP-3416, while unmeasured, can turn small objects (such as pens or rulers) into fatal weapons.
Additionally, SCP-3416 can instantaneously transform up to 2 liters of non-living material into pure iron once a day. This process seems to only work for materials softer than palm tree wood (an abundant material on SCP-3416's original island). SCP-3416 refuses to perform this for any purpose other than creating weapons to attack personnel.
Any human with insufficient psychic resistance within 6 meters of SCP-3416 is at risk of mental possession. SCP-3416 can control the movement and speech of a single individual that enters a 6-meter perimeter of SCP-3416. This effect ends immediately upon exit of the 6-meter radius around SCP-3416. The method of this ability, like all of SCP-3416's other anomalous effects, remains unknown. Affected individuals recount having full consciousness during possession.
SCP-3416 has proven itself to be prideful and commanding, despite being completely contained. SCP-3416 typically has exaggerated mannerisms in speech and action, being temperamental to the point of violence. Its abilities are easily containable and present little risk to Foundation personnel.
Addendum 3416-1: SCP-3416 was retrieved from the island of █████ ███ in Polynesia, which had noticeably remained isolated from outside influence until the capture. As this island lacked natural metals, SCP-3416 was the only source of metal in the area. Because of its abilities, SCP-3416 was worshiped as a god and ingrained in the island's culture. Here, SCP-3416 was given the name “Anoati2,” with which it refers to itself by. It is unknown how long SCP-3416 has existed due to the lack of written records in █████ ███. Due to this past, SCP-3416 refers to itself as God and believes itself to be as such.

Interview Log 3416-3:

Interviewed: SCP-3416
Interviewer: Dr. Chelsea Simons
Foreword: Due to previous hostile behavior from SCP-3416 (Security Officer ████'s hand was impaled while intercepting an iron-transmuted pen that was used as a weapon), Dr. Simons was accompanied by a security team of four officers. SCP-3416 only speaks at a shouting volume throughout the interview.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Simons: Hello, SCP-3416. SCP-3416?
SCP-3416 is at first unseen. A repetitive banging sound projects from a corner of the room, caused by a levitating SCP-3416 slamming itself against the cell wall.SCP-3416 continues banging against the wall.
Dr. Simons: SCP-3416? I'm Dr. Simons. Let's talk.Dr. Simons: I see. So, Anoati, I'll be helping you transfer into a containment environment.Dr. Simons: Anoati, you know you have to stay in here. I don't want this to be a contentious relationship. I can explain more about the Foundation to you, and I think then you'd understand why you're here.
SCP-3416 continues banging against the wall.
Dr. Simons: Anoati, please stop that.
SCP-3416 continues.
Dr. Simons: How long have you been attacking this wall, Anoati?Dr. Simons: Anoati, I hate to be blunt but this is pointless. You haven't made a scratch. Please, let's talk.SCP-3416 levitates back towards its pedestal.Dr. Simons approaches SCP-3416.Dr. Simons audibly sighs.Dr. Simons: I have psychic resistance, Anoati. It means that your abilities won't work on me. We don't have to be fighting.Dr. Simons: I'd rather not.Dr. Simons: Try to think of it our way. We're working for a common good. We, the SCP Foundation-Dr. Simons: Yes, I see that you're upset. I would be too.Dr. Simons: Regardless, I'm here to help you understand what's going on around you. The containment process can be unpleasant, but I'm here to talk and explain should you need it. I'm here to help.Dr. Simons: I'm afraid that the goal of the SCP Foundation is to keep you contained here. Due to your anomalous effects, it's just not safe for you to-Dr. Simons: Of course. It's just, now you're not the only person with powers anymore. You're special, but-Dr. Simons: I see that you don't want me around, so I can leave. Of course, you can call for me whenever and I'll be here to help.Security Officer ████'s helmet, which was not properly attached to his tactical suit, begins floating two feet above his head.Security Officer ████ grabs his helmet and clips it back to his suit.
Dr. Simons: We're going to leave now. If you need me, I'll be back when you want to talk.

Interview Log 3416-7

Interviewed: SCP-3416
Interviewer: Dr. Chelsea Simons
Foreword: Session took place eight days after previous interview of SCP-3416. Of note, this is the first recorded interview after interview 3416-3 (35 days previous) in which SCP-3416 did not continually attempt to kill everyone within its room. Previous accounts report the range of SCP-3416's effects having increased outside of its safety perimeter since last interview. Due to new security protocol, however, no injuries have been recorded. A security team comprised of four officers accompanied Dr. Simons into the chamber. SCP-3416 only speaks at a shouting volume throughout the interview.

As the team enters, their security officers' helmets are pulled from their heads. Being properly clipped to their suits, however, all helmets remained on their respective heads. The pockets of all members entering the room were flipped inside-out, and Dr. Simons' hair was tossed around upon entry.Dr. Simons: Anoati, are you ready to talk?Dr. Simons: This isn't a good use of your time. Once you start working with me, we can be productive and help you.Dr. Simons (addressing security team): Then let's go.
Dr. Simons and the security team start exiting the room.Dr. Simons approaches the door.Dr. Simons: And why would that be?
Noticeable silence.Dr. Simons: I'm not here to worship you. I'm here to help you. If you need that, I can provide it. Otherwise, I'll leave.
Dr. Simons turns to the door.Dr. Simons: Alright, but do you promise not to kill me?Dr. Simons: That's too bad.
Dr. Simons turns to the door again.Dr. Simons: I don't want to play games, Anoati.Dr. Simons approaches SCP-3416. The guards remain outside of the cell on stand-by.
Dr. Simons: What's the problem?Dr. Simons: That can't be true. What's plaguing you?Dr. Simons: Well, why don't you try. It'll be a secret.
This is the first recorded instance of SCP-3416's volume lowering beyond a shouting volume.Dr. Simons: Then let's talk about it.Dr. Simons: If I understand, you'd be feeling lonely, isolated, rejected and alienated. Would I be wrong in saying that?
Noticeable silence.Dr. Simons: It's normal.Dr. Simons: But you're not happy right now, right?Dr. Simons: This is a hard situation.Dr. Simons: They're still around. They're fine.Dr. Simons: We're organizing a program to incorporate their people and culture into the outer world.Dr. Simons: Of course. I meant, we're working to have them survive by themselves.Dr. Simons: This world is full of the unexplained. Our job is to keep it contained. To protect understanding.Dr. Simons: This is not what we're talking about.Dr. Simons: Thank you, Anoati.Dr. Simons: Ah, that reminds me. I brought something for you. You can see color, right?Dr. Simons presents a Rubik's Cube. This object begins to float above Dr. Simons' hands.Dr. Simons: It's called a Rubik's Cube.Dr. Simons: It can be pretty monotonous in this place. You'll benefit from some mental stimulation. And, I think you'll enjoy it.Dr. Simons: It's a puzzle. You scramble up all the sides, and you need to rearrange it so that each side is just one color.Dr. Simons: Well, it's challenging for most people. You have to use your wits to rearrange it properly.Dr. Simons: Then I'd be glad to see that next session. For now, our time is up. I'll see you soon.<End Log>

SCP-3416 screams upon Dr. Simons' entry.Dr. Simons: Hey, wow. Let's slow down.Dr. Simons: What have I done wrong?Dr. Simons: Anoati, the cube isn't unsolvable. It's just hard to do. Most people can't solve it.Dr. Simons: I assure you, I didn't mean any offense.

Closing Statement: Dr. Simons' claim regarding a possible temporary return of SCP-3416 to █████ ███ are completely unsubstantiated. No plans are currently in effect to bring SCP-3416 out of containment. Dr. Simons is aware and has agreed with these protocols before the interview.
