SCP-6721 - "The Climate Fridge"
Object Class: | Euclid |
---|---|
Special Containment Procedures: | SCP-6721 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment chamber at Site-19, modified with climate control systems capable of withstanding extreme temperature fluctuations. The chamber must be equipped with pressure-sealed doors and windows to prevent atmospheric leakage. Access to SCP-6721 is restricted to personnel with Level 3 clearance or higher, and all interactions must be conducted wearing appropriate protective gear rated for both extreme cold and heat. |
SCP-6721 appears to be a standard model refrigerator manufactured by [REDACTED] in 2015. The appliance measures 1.7m in height, 0.9m in width, and 0.8m in depth. Externally, SCP-6721 shows no unusual characteristics, save for a faint blue glow visible when the door is slightly open.
The anomalous properties of SCP-6721 manifest when its door is opened. The interior of the refrigerator contains a self-contained ecosystem with its own atmosphere, weather patterns, and climate zones. This miniature world occupies a space far larger than the external dimensions of SCP-6721 would allow, suggesting a form of spatial anomaly.
Key observed features of SCP-6721's interior include:
The climate within SCP-6721 is highly responsive to external stimuli. Opening the door for extended periods causes rapid climate change within the miniature world, often leading to catastrophic weather events. Additionally, adjusting the temperature controls on the exterior of the refrigerator has a direct and immediate impact on the global climate of the interior world.
SCP-6721 was discovered on 05/03/2023 in a suburban home in [REDACTED], Wisconsin, after the homeowner reported "impossible weather" coming from their kitchen appliance. Foundation agents secured the object after confirming its anomalous properties and administering amnestics to all witnesses.
Experiment 6721-03:
Date: 06/15/2023
Procedure: Dr. Larsson adjusted the external temperature control from 4°C to -2°C.
Results: The interior world of SCP-6721 experienced a rapid onset ice age. Microscopic observations showed the evolution of cold-resistant microorganisms within hours.
Experiment 6721-07:
Date: 07/02/2023
Procedure: The door of SCP-6721 was left open for 30 minutes.
Results: The interior climate experienced severe instability, including rapid desertification of previously forested areas and the formation of several Category 5 hurricane-like storm systems over the oceanic regions.
On 08/11/2023, Junior Researcher Chen accidentally dropped a pencil into SCP-6721 while the door was open. The introduction of this foreign object caused an immediate and severe reaction within the miniature ecosystem. A massive earthquake-like event was observed, followed by the rapid growth of pencil-like structures across the landscape. These structures appeared to integrate into the existing ecosystem, with the graphite component being particularly favored by the local flora.
This incident has raised concerns about the potential impact of contamination on SCP-6721's interior world and the possibility of creating new anomalous materials through such interactions.
Dr. Emilia Vance has submitted a proposal to use SCP-6721 for accelerated climate change studies. The rapid evolution and climate responsiveness of the interior world could provide valuable insights into long-term effects of climate change and potential mitigation strategies.
Dr. Marcus Wei has proposed an experiment to introduce small, non-anomalous life forms into SCP-6721 to study rapid adaptation and evolution in extreme environments. This proposal is currently under review by the Ethics Committee.
