Item #: SCP-687
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-687 is currently contained at Site-16, in a standard research and containment cell. The direct majority of Foundation research and containment of extraterrestrial anomalies is focused on bugs, which account for approximately 50% of the major containment breaches. To limit the chances of future anomalous activity, all experiments involving testing SCP-687 must be monitored at all times.
Description: SCP-687 is a miniature telescope that has a flash drive slot, a single power input on the longer end, and a circular drive on the outer end. SCP-687 requires only 1 key to function. SCP-687 does not show signs of anomalous properties, and is disabled by any means currently available. The drive is powered and sealed by the door it is inside.
SCP-687 can be used to magnify any object detected by it. To make this possible, SCP-687 can beep loudly when the blurriness is desired. However, this does not trigger any anomalous effects. SCP-687 does not display any effect of being magnified, except in cases where blurring the object in question is desirable.
SCP-687 was discovered during a routine (somewhat unsuccessful in retrospect) investigation of a small livestock barn that had somehow taken up residence in Site-16. When the lights in the area were put on, a vague outline of a globe covered the entire front of the barn. In the center of it was a white orb, projected the light of the lens directly into the aperture.
The telescope was locked from the outside; however, this was not a sign of abnormal activity. Dr. █████ was left alone in the room for several minutes. SCP-687 was pulled from the confines of the room after the lights came on. Incident log failed to report any anomalous properties.
SCP-687 was recovered following a raid on a temporary house of interest. When preparations were made to seek out an alternative property, SCP-687 was gone, and the house was evacuated. Interview log does not reveal where SCP-687 was kept at the time.
Addendum I: On ██/██/19██, prior to the current activation of Containment Protocol I (See Expunged), SCP-687 was destroyed.
Addendum II: On ███/██/19██, previous methods of deactivation are now unnecessary, and SCP-687 was completely sealed. During this time the light was set to motion continuously until 7:30 PM, at which point all SCP-687 blurring was removed, and it was posited as an extra dimension outside the main universe. Its purpose, if any, was not lost, and SCP-687's existence remained known by the local institutions. Resources have been reallocated to a multitude of anomalous objects, and containment protocols have been revised accordingly.
Following these changes, SCP-687 reappeared in ██████, in an interdimensional space destroying the property of all humans in the area.
