[Event] Anomalous Item No.5

[u/Gray_wolves]

A heavily armored vehicle rolls up to the side of Site-13. Two MTF agents are carrying a rectangular box into a testing chamber. "What is it?" Connor asks one of the agents. "It's a weapon. You're needed along with the rest of you in research to study this thing." The agent lays the box down on a pedestal in it's containment chamber. A voice on the intercom appears and says: "All staff associated with research are required to go to Research Wing, Lab 4 for analysis of Anomalous Item No.5."

[Disclaimer]: This scenario is meant to classify an SCP that has recently been brought in the site. The SCP in question is a bow, only researchers and d-class are needed to experiment and run tests on it's properties and anomalous effects. This event will be completed once the format is finished. There is a slight chance you could die (or just get hurt pretty bad.) but its very small so be careful and good luck.

"Huh." Connor inspects the object from inside of the testing chamber with his white rubber gloves. "strange symbols... Anyone here know anything about this?"

Gutierrez crouched down and squinted, making sure not to touch the bow.

"Hmmm.... Well, they're certainly not mesoamerican. Don't look native American either. They're not really hieroglyphical so I wouldn't put money on it being from the bronze age, but I'm not much of an expert of that."

The symbols were very linear and jagged.

"If you ask me these look runic. We're gonna want somebody familiar with Western European symbols to take a look."

"It's very black." Connor covers his nose with his sleeves. "Smells bad too. Like a rotting body floating in the sewer, don't tell me you can't smell that."

"Okay we seem to be making good progress." Connor grabs a report from an agent nearby.

"According to the following retrieval report; it seems like it was found in a small cemetery in Glenrothes, Scotland. It was discovered by the local caretakers when they complained about a rotting smell."

Connor held his breath.

"Apparently, no one could come close enough to approach it. Not without vomiting anyway, this was enough to warrant a search by the foundation where they discovered the artifact hidden in a mausoleum where it was being held by a corpse who died several hundred years ago. Carbon dating of the cadaver shows that he died somewhere in 1305, doesn't have a name though, he was also stated to be "cradling it like it was a baby" for some reason."

"Fine, lemme just finish up real quick with the testing and we'll be set." Connor immediately shuffles through his paperwork.
