Item #: SCP-914
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Only personnel who submit a formal request and receive approval
from site command may operate 914.
SCP-914 is to be kept in research cell 109-B with two guard personnel on duty at all times.
Any researchers entering 109-B are to be accompanied by at least one guard for the entirety of
testing.
A full list of tests to be carried out must be given to all guard personnel on duty; any
deviation from this list will result in termination of testing, forcible removal of personnel
from 109-B, and formal discipline at site command’s discretion.
WARNING: At this time, no testing of biological matter is allowed.
Refer to document 109-B:117.
Applying the “Rough” setting to explosive materials is not advised.
Description: SCP-914 is a large clockwork device weighing several tons and covering
an area of eighteen square meters, consisting of screw drives, belts, pulleys, gears, springs
and other clockwork.
It is incredibly complex, consisting of over eight million moving parts comprised mostly
of tin and copper, with some wooden and cloth items observed.
Observation and probing have showed no electronic assemblies or any form of power other than
the “Mainspring” under the “Selection Panel”.
Two large booths 3mx2.1mx2.1m (10ftx7ftx7ft) are connected via copper tubes to the main
body of SCP-914, labeled “Intake” and “Output”.
Between them is a copper panel with a large knob with a small arrow attached.
The words Rough, Coarse, 1:1, Fine, and Very Fine are positioned at points around the knob.
Below the knob is a large “key” that winds the “mainspring”.
When an object is placed in the Intake Booth, a door slides shut, and a small bell sounds.
If the knob is turned to any position and the key wound up, SCP-914 will “refine”
the object in the booth.
No energy is lost in the process, and the object appears to be in stasis until the Output
Booth door is opened.
Intense observation and testing have not shown how SCP-914 accomplishes this, and no test
object has ever been observed inside SCP-914 during the “refining” process.
The process takes between five and ten minutes, depending on the size of the object being
refined.

Document # 109-B:117: Dr.███ and Dr.███████ Test Log
Input: Subject D-186, male Caucasian, 42 years old, 108kg, 185cm tall.
(setting: 1:1)
Output: Male Hispanic, 42 years old, 100kg, 188cm tall.
Subject was very confused and agitated.
Subject attacked security personnel.
Subject terminated.
Input: Subject D-187, male Caucasian, 28 years old, 63kg, 173cm tall.
(setting: Very Fine)
Output: [DATA EXPUNGED].
Subject escaped from test chamber, killing eight guards as well as Dr.███ and Dr.███████.
Lockdown initiated.
Subject causes containment failure of three SCP areas in continued escape attempt.
Special response team engages subject, resulting in severe wounding of subject, partial memory
loss in special response team members and corrosive damage to plumbing.
Subject expired several hours later, dissolving into blue ash and blinding nearby research
team.
Biological testing with SCP-914 discontinued.
Note: "Because of the nature of this SCP a wide range of test data would be helpful.
Dr. Gears has ordered that any researcher can have access for non-biological testing
if they themselves are or they are supervised by a Level 3 researcher.
All testing is to be recorded in file #914-E (Experiment Log 914).
Biological testing will continue only with prior clearance by 05 Command.
As long as you want to try something mundane that isn't alive feel free to help accumulate
data."

Facility Layout
Parking Lot: A flat concrete area located behind the facility buildings.
This design allows minimal visibility while transporting anomalous objects.
Site Cafeteria: A room for serving food to on-site personnel during designated meal times.
Food Storage / Kitchen: A room used for the storage and processing of food.
Food and water is shipped daily to Facility 23 and stored in this room, due to its remote
location.
The food is then cooked and served to on-site personnel.
Maintenance Personnel Offices: Office rooms for maintenance personnel such as security
staff and janitorial staff.
Break Room: Used by staff as a place to rest while not working.
Due to an incident on 10/04/2019, the break room is slightly larger on the inside.
Personnel Residence: A two-story section of the facility for the on-site residence of
non-D-Class personnel.
Individual rooms and structures are not shown.
Research Personnel Offices: Office rooms for research personnel.
Senior researchers’ offices are located in the yellow-green area.
Multi-Purpose Rooms: Rooms used for meetings, presentations, and conferences.
Administrative Personnel Offices: Office rooms for administrative personnel.
Research Cell 109-B: Room containing SCP-914.
The floor is slightly elevated and plated with steel in order to ground SCP-914 for
protection against damage caused by static electricity.
Incinerator A room containing the incinerator, used for the destruction of classified information.
The incinerator is occasionally used for the destruction of items produced by SCP-914.
The room also functions as a waste management center.
Under circumstances specified in Section 3 of the SCP Foundation Policy on the Handling
of Anomalous Phenomena, and Ethics Committee Ruling 10A-0344 (“Retroactive Justification
for Unauthorized Neutralization of Anomalies”).
Research Cell 109-A: A room used for the storage of items produced by SCP-914.
Preliminary Testing Room: A laboratory room used for preliminary testing of anomalous
products.
The properties and effects of anomalous products are documented using various methods, and
objects of research interest are occasionally sent to the main facility for further examination.
D-Class Personnel Residence: A section of the facility for the residence of D-Class
personnel.
Individual rooms and structures are not shown.
Additional Information Site-19 Facility 23, located in [REDACTED],
is a facility built specifically to contain SCP-914 and its anomalous products.
It is part of the larger Site-19 administration.
Facility 23 was originally built in 1988 as an isolated containment facility for multiple
large anomalous items.
Following Anomalous Item A██████’s reclassification as SCP-914 in 2008, it was
moved into Facility 23 and the facility was converted into a research establishment for
the purpose of SCP-914 research.
Dr. Charles Gears, former Director of Euclid-level containment at Site-19, was transferred to
Facility 23 to oversee its research.
Testing of SCP-914 began on September 9th of that year.
During April 2017, Facility 23 was expanded and partly rebuilt to accomodate the increasing
number of researchers, and the large amount of testing products accumulated over the years.
Dr. Arthur Hackett and Dr. Lucius Veritas were transferred to Facility 23 to replace
Director Charles Gears, as Director of Administration and Research, respectively.
As of 12/03/2022, Facility 23 has conducted over ████ individual tests on SCP-914.
A log of all tests that have been conducted can be accessed below.
