SCP-914 is interesting mostly for its creative potential and input from the readership. The premise is fairly direct: strange machine that takes in and alters matter. Perhaps that it is entirely clockwork -- just gears and mechanics, without electronics -- is the first pause for wonder. Next would be that it has five settings one can use when rendering its matter alterations: Rough, Coarse, 1:1, Fine, Very Fine.
The most intriguing part, really, is Experiment Log 914. Here people have made a rather long list of experiments and their results with SCP-914. There are too many to list here, but a few selections:
(Many result in humor, but some can be quite concerning... Even some tests that seem to indicate SCP-914 may be sentient, perhaps sinister.)
Test 914-0103
Name: Dr. Grangan
Date: ██/██/████
Total Items: Five adult male cadavers
Input: One cadaver
Setting: Rough
Output: A pile of human remains. Limbs, organs and bones all appear to have been roughly separated via tearing action and high heat. Output described as "unsettling".
Input: One cadaver
Setting: Coarse
Output: Pile of human remains. All organs and bones have been removed by some form of cutting tool. The skin, nervous system, digestive system, and circulatory system all appear to have been removed without severing or damaging any of tissues involved. Results frozen for study.
Input: One cadaver
Setting: 1:1
Output: One Asian male cadaver. Original cadaver was identified as Caucasian.
Input: One cadaver
Setting: Fine
Output: One cadaver containing SCP-008. Subject immediately incinerated.
Input: One cadaver
Setting: Very Fine
Output: Green slime. Properties and chemical structure determined to be identical to SCP-447-2.
Note: By order of O5-█, cadavers may no longer be tested in SCP-914 in order to minimize the possibility of SCP-447-2 coming in contact with dead bodies.
Test 914-0234
Name: Dr. Mitchell
Date: 17/06/2018
Total Items: Three nylon American flags.
Input: One flag
Setting: Rough
Result: Several shredded, slightly melted pieces of nylon.
Input: One flag
Setting: 1:1
Output: One nylon flag of Poland.
Input: One flag
Setting: Very Fine
Output: American flag that is seemingly in perpetual motion, as if a light breeze was flowing past it continuously. Has a memetic property that results in anyone who is viewing it to feel extreme patriotism for their home country, not just the United States. This effect lasts up to three hours after ceasing viewing.
Note: Object placed in anomalous object storage.
Test 914-0430
Name: Sr. Researcher Calloway
Date: 20/02/2019
Total Items: 3 vials of aerosol amnestic solution.
Input: 1 vial of aerosol amnestic solution.
Setting: 1:1
Output: 1 vial of liquid. When identified, it was proven to be the Y-909 compound, from SCP-3000.
Note: Interesting. Put this away for further use. -Researcher Calloway
Input: 1 vial of aerosol amnestic solution.
Setting: Coarse
Output: 1 vial of water, a small pile of powder, and [REDACTED].
Note: Yes, we all know how to make amnestics, 914. -Researcher Calloway
Input: 1 vial of aerosol amnestic solution.
Setting: Fine
Output: A colorless, odorless gas. Detection methods proved unable to detect the gas, so the chamber was declared empty, and several researchers, including Calloway, were affected. The gas proved to be anomalous, with the effect of making all subjects who inhale it speak and write backwards for an unknown length of time.
Note: .sruoh flah a dna eerht rof siht ekil kcuts neeb ev'I ,em pleh enoemoS -Researcher Calloway
Note: We're going to let him sit this one out for the duration of the effect to allow him to ponder the question: Is testing of mind-affecting substances through unpredictable anomalous objects a good idea? No one tell him the answer; he'll have to come up with it on his own. - Dr. Veritas.
