SCP-CN-052 : Coins

Looks like there's no effect here.

Test #: CN-052-2
Date: 20██/██/██
Location: Cafeteria
Subject: D-052-2
Test Log: Class D was provided SCP-CN-052 and two standard but specially marked coins, and walked past an air conditioning unit (in operation) in the Site-CN-34 cafeteria.
Result: As the Class D walked past the air conditinoning unit, he suddenly threw one of the coins in its hand into the opening of the air conditioning unit, causing it to break. Following this, it was discovered that the coin had jammed the unit's fan, causing the unit to begin uncontrollably leaking water. Of note is that the coin thrown was the ordinary coin.

Perhaps I shouldn't have done that before lunch. Hannah will be bloody mad at me. — Dr. Tictoc

Test #: CN-052-3
Date: 20██/██/██
Location: Cafeteria
Subject: D-052-3
Test Log: Class D was provided SCP-CN-052 and two standard but specially marked coins, and walked past an active electric fan in the Site-CN-34 cafeteria. The blades of the fan were enclosed by a metal cage.
Result: As the Class D walked past the fan, he threw all the coins towards the fan. One of the two ordinary coins was blocked by the cage, while the other hit a blade of the fan. SCP-CN-052 was caught in the fan's blades and began to spin along with the fan without being dislodged. The fan's blades were severely damaged. D-052-3 began expressing distress, and began to punch the metal cage with his fist. At this point, the coin was ejected from the fan at high speed, ricocheting off the ceiling and striking the fan's engine, causing the fan to stop spinning. D-052-3 was shot with a tranquilizer gun, and the experiment was terminated.

It seems to know where the core of the machine is located.

Test #: CN-052-4
Date: 20██/██/██
Location: Cafeteria
Subject: D-052-4
Test Log: Class D was provided SCP-CN-052 and eight standard but specially marked coins, of which two were slightly more valuable English two-pound coins, and informed that the coins were for him to pay for lunch. He was then asked to walk past an active bladeless fan in Site-CN-34's cafeteria.
Result: While walking past the fan, the Class D placed the two-pound coins into his pocket and threw the rest of the coins at the fan. The coins passed through the fan without hitting anything. D-052-4 proceeded to continuously look back at the coins on the floor, and when told that he could leave to collect his meal, expressed panic and began to run towards the bladeless fan, attempting to jump through it and getting stuck. D-052-4 did not attempt to extract himself from the fan, instead screaming "give me my money" and attempting to pry open the ring of the fan. After prying open the fan, D-052-4 collected the coins and returned to normal. Following this, Dr. Tictoc administered tranquilizer via dart and the experiment was terminated.

He could've just walked around the fan. Of note is that four pounds is enough to buy the best meal at a Foundation staff cafeteria.

Did you really have to do this in the cafeteria while people are eating? — Dr. Hannah

Before Dr. Tictoc used the tranquilizer on D-052-4, he got up from the floor and suddenly attempted to throw the coins towards Janitor [REDACTED], and then attempted to bite off her legs. D-052-4 was struck by the tranquilizer dart, and SCP-CN-052 dropped out of D-052-4's pocket, bounced around on the floor and struck Janitor [REDACTED]'s kneecap. Following this, SCP-CN-052 bounced around the cafeteria and eventually was lost.

The Ethics Committee has decided to exempt Dr. Tictoc from any punishment. — O5-7

Object was discovered in █████████ Airport, ████████, China. An elderly woman about to board a flight tossed a coin into the plane's engine, claiming that this was "good luck". Initially, the Foundation did not notice anything abnormal about the plane, but following this the plane caught fire while taxiing. Investigation into the incident revealed the anomalous object; all personnel present were administered Class A amnestics and a statement was released indicating the coin had been discovered prior to takeoff.

The Ethics Committee believes that to increase the vigilance of the public, there is a need to contain further instances of the object, and retrieve the SCP-CN-052 lost during testing. — O5-13

Memetic verification accepted. Welcome, Overseer.

from:Tictoc to:O5 Council

First off, let me say this: No, that lady is not a member of the Church of the Broken God.
While our faith does worship machinery and view flesh as unclean, our Church has never excluded believers who are themselves of flesh.
When I abandoned the Church for the Foundation, only my arm and shoulder had been mechanized - and even then the mechanical parts are covered by layers of flesh and bone.

Yes, the Church of the Broken God is a cult that worships machinery.

That's why we most certainly would not throw coins into a plane's engine for "good luck".
In short: We're not evil.

And then what next, O5s? You, reading this document? What did you see in the incident report?

I knew of some of CN-052's anomalous properties even before the testing. When I picked them up, they jumped into my hands.
There was a mechanism in my hand, so I concluded initially that the coins would be attracted to mechanical devices when not held by a person. This was my initial conclusion.

That's right. I had written this exact point in the above testing log. And it was not recorded in the database, not even in the logs.

At that time, I had chosen to perform that experiment in the cafeteria and not in a testing chamber. I wanted to wait with Janitor [REDACTED], to see what would happen. As I planned, the coin recognized the mechanical parts within her leg.

This is what I expected. During my time in the Church, she was part of my congregation. I knew she had an operation done on her leg, to change it into the Church's machine. I had known from the start that she had come to the Foundation; everyone has mouths to feed.

What scared me was that after that, the coin jumped around among the workers and Class Ds eating in the cafeteria, and then disappeared.

I've said everything I know. Now, tell me what you know:

Just how many members of the Church of the Broken God have you caught, amnesticized, and turned into Class Ds or Cs?
How many were there in that cafeteria that day? How many are there in the Foundation? After that, how many more came?
You told me that the Church is a cult, that they lead the people astray: that's right, that is why I left for the Foundation.
And then? What are you doing behind our backs?
What the hell are you doing behind our backs?!
