Item #: SCP-6983
Object Class: Ticonderoga1
Special Containment Procedures: Undercover personnel within various national and international space programs are to plant the file Binary_Star.aic in both the hardware of control centers and digital components of all launched projects.
Foundation AI "Binary Star" will intercept and record all data about SCP-6983 for the Foundation database and summarily delete it from non-Foundation records.
Class B amnestics may be administered to witnesses if deemed necessary.
Description: SCP-6983 is a humanoid with an estimated height of 5 meters. It has been noted to repair planetary rings, atmospheres, and other celestial objects by using an unknown welding technique utilising its fingertips to weld objects together. The entity also uses this technique to communicate via light signaling. The details of how SCP-6983 sustains itself or travels are unknown. However, through communication and observation, it is concluded that the entity can alter reality or the laws of physics to a small degree.
To date, no full imagery of SCP-6983 accurately shows its features or profile due to bad lighting. Civilian observations of the anomaly have described it as a sudden blinking in space, an intense light, or a combination of both. Research is currently ongoing.
Addendum 6983.1: Discovery
On 16 August 2017, a probe from the Beholder line observed blinking on a planetary ring in its vicinity2. Its trajectory was adjusted for further investigation.
Thermal imaging managed to discern a humanoid figure. Communication attempts were initiated soon after. However, upon maneuvering closer, Binary Star uncovered that the entity was trying to communicate via a system functioning similarly to Morse code. Following several days of reviewing footage, decoding, and sending Morse code to the anomaly, a legible method of conversation was successfully established on 23 August after SCP-6983 signaled "I think I finally understand you".

Interviewed: SCP-6983
Interviewer: Dr. Nails
Foreword: All messages are decrypted from Morse.

<BEGIN LOG>

Dr. Nails: Can you please confirm that you understand me?
SCP-6983 points one of his fingers towards the probe, a dim white light appears.Dr. Nails: Would you mind answering some questions?Dr. Nails: Can I ask why you assume that?Dr. Nails: I see. So you know, how do I put this, the bigger context of the situation?Dr. Nails: Well, that makes things a bit easier. Can I start my questioning?Dr. Nails: Sure.
SCP-6983 welds a torn section of the ring of the nearby planet together, despite it being made out of mainly gas.
Dr. Nails: My heat sensors didn't pick up what you just did, could you elaborate?SCP-6983 begins to weld again. Despite the temperature, the area around it seemingly begins to bend like hot air.
Dr. Nails: According to what you're doing, you are bending the laws of physics, a small bit of reality. Effectively, you're going below zero Kelvin, the absolute zero.Dr. Nails: Isn't it?Dr. Nails: How did they travel?Dr. Nails: First? So they found another way to travel?Dr. Nails: Have you seen them again?Footage reveals that at this moment SCP-6983 trembled, its light flickered, and succeeded in making a small hole in space.
Dr. Nails: Like an accident on the job?Dr. Nails: So what are you going to do?Dr. Nails: Ok, and how do- Hey, wait!
SCP-6983 takes note of the hole, stands up, tears the hole further open, and begins to step through.Dr. Nails: Where are you going? Can you spare a little more time?SCP-6983 welds the hole shut. Some small crystals linger around before fading away.

Closing Statement: Several phenomena related to SCP-6983 are currently being researched by physicists. The probe was brought back to its normal trajectory.
Update: On 19 September 2017, a notification was sent from Beholder-8 as it had started its reconfiguration. Sensors showed that its exterior was colder than before it lost its function.

Addendum 6983.2:
On 22 February 2018, a Foundation satellite observed a blue shine in the atmosphere. Whilst this phenomenon lasted, several locations reported unexpected snowfall. Afterwards the satellite concluded that the hole in the ozone layer was nowhere to be found and a small section was signed with the name "Kelvin".

Footnotes
1. Anomaly cannot be contained, but does not need to be contained.
2. Any object that was observable without significant enhancements, filters, or activation of more than 60% of all lenses was treaded as close proximity for this particular probe.
