SCP-093 is a red, stone composite disk with circular engravings and unknown symbols. It changes hue when held by a living individual, with the color believed to be linked to the holder's regrets. The disk has a tendency to seek out mirrors when not held, and can travel at high speeds to reach one.
During an experiment, a test subject, "D-20384", was equipped with a harness, camera, and other gear and instructed to enter a mirror while holding SCP-093. The subject found himself in a blue-tinted landscape and eventually entered a tunnel with multiple doors.
Upon exploring the tunnel, the subject discovered a room with a makeshift cot, food, and a book, suggesting human presence. The subject also found a newspaper article, which was recovered after the experiment.
However, the experiment took a turn for the worse when the subject encountered a massive, featureless creature that was pulling itself towards him. The subject fired his gun at the creature, but the communication was cut off, and the subject was never seen again. Only the field kit bag containing the newspaper article and SCP-093 were recovered.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. SCP-093 is a primarily red disk carved from a stone composite resembling cinnabar with circular engravings and unknown symbols.
2. The disk changes hue when held by a living individual.
3. The colors taken by SCP-093 are still being researched to establish a link.
4. Current belief holds that the changes depend upon regrets carried by the holder.
5. If SCP-093 is removed from a mirror and not held by a person, it will seek out the nearest mirror-like surface.
6. SCP-093 has been observed to travel in the largest possible circle while rolling, building a phenomenal speed.
7. The mechanism of this acceleration is currently unknown.
8. If an obstacle is between SCP-093 and the nearest mirror-like surface, it will use its momentum to punch through the obstacle and continue on its course.
9. SCP-093 will only stop when a mirror-like surface is contacted.
10. Despite tremendous impact velocities, no damage will be dealt to SCP-093 or at the mirror.
11. A test procedure was initiated to establish why mirrors must be used to contain SCP-093.
12. The results led to the discovery that any living being holding SCP-093 and placing it against a mirror will move into the mirror.
13. A series of testing on human interaction with mirrors while holding SCP-093 have been authorized.
14. The first test subject, codename D-20, was a 34-year-old male with a record of murder and attempted suicide.
15. The test subject was equipped with a buckle harness, video system, wrist-mounted light source, kit bag, and standard-issue Beretta 9-millimeter firearm.
16. The test subject entered the provided mirror while holding SCP-093, which emitted a blue color.
17. The subject traveled approximately 500 steps before encountering a patch of barren land with dying grass.
18. The subject discovered a hole in the ground with signs of man-made architecture.
19. The subject entered the hole and descended using a pulley system, finding a tunnel with concrete enclosure and ceiling light fixtures.
20. The subject discovered a series of doors, including one with a keyhole and a locked door.
21. The subject found a room with a makeshift cot, foodstuffs, and empty water bottles.
22. The subject discovered a book with no title or identifying marks.
23. The subject removed clippings from the wall, including one intact article.
24. The subject experienced a sudden surge in cable movement and was pulled up the tunnel.
25. The subject reported seeing a massive human being crawling on the ground, approximately 50 times the size of a normal person.
26. The communication was cut off, and the subject was not recovered.
27. The only thing recovered was the field kit bag containing the newspaper article and SCP-093.
