Live and Love under Patooties' peculiar light
A few notes from Dr. Gears himself (No not me, I mean THE Cog):
SCP-914 was not designed as an industrial device. Nor was it primarily a scientific device. Its primary function appears to be as a form of entertainment. After review of the recovery notes, and evaluation of the test logs, it appears that SCP-914 was designed to create the most “novel” items possible, with no regard for practicality or function.
When entering a small pile of parts for a clock on a 1:1 setting, you will most likely get a clock. If you enter blocks of wood, glass, and metal, it leaves a wide degree of room for “interpretation” by SCP-914, with a clock only one of many possible outcomes. If you desire to create a human being with, say, metallic skin, then the best plan would be to create a “suit” of the metal in the exact dimensions of the intended subject, and the same thickness as the subject’s skin. At that point, a setting of 1:1 or Fine may achieve the desired result.
However, there is a high degree of randomness still associated with SCP-914. Patience must be maintained, as it is not being used for its intended purpose, and thus may frustrate attempts to achieve a desired result. A short review of settings, as well:
- Rough: Destruction of the item, often by pressure, heat, or cutting.
- Coarse: Disassembly of the item into component parts.
- 1:1: Direct integration of multiple items, or “re-interpretation” of singular items.
- Fine: Refinement of items, often with a blending or “re-interpretation” of base states.
- Very Fine: Total “re-interpretation”, often times using only the base compounds of items.
This is not a simple exchange machine tecolote, review the documentation damnit - _-
Input: One (1) ornamental tanto knife, labeled Tengu’s Bane
Setting: Fine.
Output: One (1) katana, with a blade measuring 70 cm. No ornaments on the blade, but a complex one featuring feathery patterns can be found at the hilt. Upon grabbing the handle, a cloak of red feathers sprouts from the hilt and shrouds the entire arm wielding it. Letting go of it makes the feathers retract.
Testing reveals that the feathers are able to completely isolate electric currents, and the blade can store up to 30,000 volts worth of static electricity at once, which can be released only by the will of the wielder, as even coming into contact with foreign bodies triggers no response.
Input: One (1) half melted ice swan sculpture.
Setting: Very Fine.
Output: One (1) animated ice sculpture of a swan. Upon moving it began cracking at the “joints” and fell apart, but then reassembled and tried moving again, to the same result. After 3 hours of repeating this process the structure did not try to reassemble, instead melting down completely in approximately 30 seconds. It had travelleda distance of 5 meters away from the output chamber by this point.
It is theorized that the ice fragments achieved this fast melting by continuing to move right to the molecular level, fragmenting at each attempt until it became a liquid. Water resulting from this is under study for any anomalous properties.
Input: One (1) ornamental sterling silver dagger, labled Werewolf Slayer.
Setting: 1:1
Output: One (1) ornamental tanto knife, labeled Tengu’s Bane.
Input: One (1) Game Boy classic, no game cartridge, no batteries.
Setting: 1:1
Output: One (1) 8-bit portable game console labeled “Pocket Monster Go!”, in japanese. No game cartridge nor batteries. The model does not correspond to any system produced by Nintendo and the cartridge slot doesn’t fit any current known game cartridges.
Input: One (1) plastic yoyo.
Setting: 1:1
Output: One (1) plastic spinning top, rope included.
“Just leave the default setting as 1:1 if left unspecified.” - Site Director E. Gere.
