Item #: SCP-109
Object Class: Euclid (See Addendum 109-1)
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-109 is currently located in Non-Critical Storage
Unit 7 and requires no active monitoring.
It should not be removed from the unit except to be transported to a research facility,
and then only by personnel with Level 3 security clearance or higher.
When replacing SCP-109, personnel should ensure that it is firmly closed and that it is placed
on the molded pedestal in the upright position.
Description: SCP-109 is a standard-issue United States Army canteen (circa 1899) made of a
tin alloy and fitted with a heavy cotton cover and a black leather strap.
When opened, the item is seen to be nearly full of water.
A seemingly unlimited amount of water can be removed from the container without changing
the water level or the item's mass, which remains a constant 3.16 kg.
Probes of the interior of the container reported an estimated volume of 2.8 L and a shape consistent
with the outside.
The water in SCP-109 is of a slight blue-gray tint, with concentrations of 20 ppm of tin
and 170 ppm of other electrolytes.
The water remains at a constant temperature of 19°C but can be heated or cooled when
moved to another container.
Addendum 109-1: Upon the item's delivery to Site 19, it was given the object class of
Safe.
As tests were conducted on the item, uncertainty surrounding test results prompted Gen. ████████ ████ to
upgrade the object class to Euclid.
Addendum 109-2: Recently, a request was filed and granted by Dr. ████████ for
permission to water an okra plant growing in his office with SCP-109.
Staff should be notified that Dr. ████████ uses SCP-109 for this purpose for a small time
every Friday.
Addendum 109-3: "It has come to my attention that new class D personnel are often dared
to empty the bottle.
Guards are reminded that they are to discourage such activity, and inform them that SCP-109
is bottomless.
Chanting 'Chug!'
repeatedly is considered unprofessional."
— Dr. Klein
Additional Information: Due to the range of tests conducted on SCP-109, this section has
been provided to present test results in chronological order.
Dates have been withheld for confidentiality.
TEST 1: Subjects imbibed water from SCP-109, reported that it was very refreshing and,
despite the metal content, very tasty.
Urine samples from subjects were normal.
TEST 2: Follow-up test to TEST 1 had subjects dehydrate themselves for 1 full day before
imbibing water from SCP-109.
Test remains unfinished as subjects were unable to provide urine samples.
TEST 3: Subject bathed in water from SCP-109.
Subject reported increased energy and a much improved complexion following the bath.
TEST 4: Streptococcus bacteria cultured in water from SCP-109 thrived and multiplied
quickly.
Water from SCP-109 administered to subject suffering from streptococcal infection killed
nearly all bacteria and produced a full recovery within 24 hours.
TEST 5: Blood substitute created using water from SCP-109, given in transfusion to pedestrian
hit by a drunk driver.
Subject showed no malign symptoms from the transfusion and made a full recovery.
Subject's physical therapy concluded six weeks early.
TEST 6: Water from SCP-109 administered to various plant organisms, all of which remained
very healthy and showed no malign symptoms.
One proposition for a test which has been discussed for some time has been one involving
a combination of SCP-109 and SCP-402.
Due to the risk of losing one or both items or creating a hazardous situation, this test
has never been conducted.
