3/031-PT LEVEL 3/031-PT CLASSIFIED

Item #: SCP-031-PT Object Class: Safe

Threat Level: Orange

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-031-PT is to be stored in a standard containment vault at Site PT5. Object must receive maintenance on a monthly basis, including checking the physical condition of the item for structural damage and other threats to physical integrity. Any damage observed on SCP-031-PT is to be restored as soon as possible. Testing with the item must be authorized by Dr. Cezar, the current head of the SCP-031-PT research project.

Description: SCP-031-PT is an ornate gold ring with an aquamarine center stone. Minimalist-style illustrations of various animals are engraved in high relief on the surrounding surface.

SCP-031-PT's anomalous qualities manifest when an individual places it on one of their fingers. Any subject wearing the item becomes capable of manifesting an entity, hereby referred to as SCP-031-PT-2. SCP-031-PT-2 appears to be incapable of manifesting on its own. If the bearer of SCP-031-PT falls unconscious or dies, SCP-031-PT-2 expires by disintegrating.

SCP-031-PT-2 is humanoid, measuring 130 centimeters in height and weighing 56 kilograms. SCP-031-PT-2 has reddish skin, a pair of helical prominences, an articulated tail with a stinger at its tip, and a nonfunctional pair of wings that measure 210 centimeters in wingspan. SCP-031-PT-2 has been observed to have ontokinetic capabilities. It is capable of creating and duplicating objects.

SCP-031-PT-2 does not utilize ontokinetics without first being ordered by the bearer of SCP-031-PT. If the entity does not receive any commands for a period of 30 minutes, it expires by disintegrating.

Note that SCP-031-PT-2 is uncooperative towards any individuals that do not carry SCP-031-PT, and resorts, pejoratively, to informalities in its speech articulation; consequently, the entity acts in a derogatory manner towards any other individuals present.

Once SCP-031-PT-2 expires, a red glow is emitted by one of the animal figures present on the surface of SCP-031-PT. The origin of the glow has not yet been identified. It has been observed that SCP-031-PT-2 will not manifest while the glow persists. The only known method to revert SCP-031-PT to its previous state is to completely immerse the object in blood from the type of animal represented in the glowing relief.

Discovery: SCP-031-PT was originally obtained by former members of the Confraternity of Saint George's Knights¹ in Porto, Portugal. The individuals stole the object from one José Cipíro,² who was apparently responsible for the creation of SCP-031-PT. After stealing the object, the former Knights attempted to sell it to a series of buyers. This operation was eventually discovered by Foundation agents, who intercepted the merchandise and recovered SCP-031-PT.

Experiment Log 031-A: The following is a list of experiments performed with SCP-031-PT-2. The tests were carried out to determine the extent of the entity's ontokinetic abilities.

Test 01
Request: Create 1 cubic meter of sand.
Result: Successful.

Test 02
Request: Create a common Eurasian boar.
Result: A boar appeared in the testing room. The animal was moved and kept under observation. The boar expired when SCP-031-PT-2 expired.

Test 03
Request: Create an adult human being.
Result: SCP-031-PT-2 materialized an adult human being in the testing room. The individual was directly commanded by SCP-031-PT-2. The individual expired when SCP-031-PT-2 expired.

Test 04
Request: Duplicate SCP-031-PT.
Result: A duplicate of SCP-031-PT was created, but was devoid of all animal illustrations and their anomalous capabilities.

+  Interview Record 031-V3

Interviewer: Dr. Cezar

Interviewee: SCP-031-PT-2

<Start Recording>

Dr. Cezar puts on SCP-031-PT and manifests SCP-031-PT-2.

SCP-031-PT-2: Come on, human, what's the stupid request this time?

Dr. Cezar: I need to ask you some questions.

SCP-031-PT-2: Ah! Of course they're questions! Even that sand-making thing was more fun.

Dr. Cezar: If you answer the questions correctly, the interview will end faster. Just do your part.

SCP-031-PT-2: Whatever, whatever. Get it over with!

Dr. Cezar: What can you tell me about PoI-031?

SCP-031-PT-2: First of all, mortal, you need to know that he is a complete [EXPLETIVE]! Totally! The [EXPLETIVE] is a complete imbecile, and—

Dr. Cezar interrupts SCP-031-PT-2.

Dr. Cezar: Look, if this continues, I'm going to have to end the interview. Please cooperate. I need you to give me something useful.

SCP-031-PT-2: Alright, alright, Doctor.

Dr. Cezar: I'll repeat. What can you tell me about Cipíro?

SCP-031-PT-2: The first thing you need to know, almighty researcher, is that this man is not an ordinary guy. He has lived dozens of lives, yet he does not look old. But the same cannot be said of his mental faculties. Not to say he is an imbecile, but he is not what he once was. He is what you would call a wizard, a magician, a sorcerer. One of the last of the old world.

Dr. Cezar: Interesting. So this José is a thaumaturge?

SCP-031-PT-2: You mean a miracle worker? Sure, but he's no saint.³

Dr. Cezar writes something down in his notebook.

Dr. Cezar: Regarding SCP-031-PT, is it a thaumaturgical object?

SCP-031-PT-2: But you're annoying, aren't you? So many questions.

Dr. Cezar looks irritated for a moment.

Dr. Cezar: According to the information from our intelligence personnel, your "prison" was created by PoI-031. Is this information correct?

SCP-031-PT-2: More or less.

Dr. Cezar: More or less?

SCP-031-PT-2: He didn't create it, so to speak. Nobody creates anything nowadays, they just replicate the past. I'll assume you're not completely stupid and you've already figured out what I am. My colleagues and I have always helped mortals, you know? A favor there, a pact here, I've even made a few myself. Back in the day, some mortal who thought he was the [EXPLETIVE] wanted to use us without paying the price.

Dr. Cezar: That's… Elaborate.

Dr. Cezar takes more notes.

SCP-031-PT-2: They tried to imprison us, to make us their slaves. First they used bronze vessels, then ritual altars. Until they reached the height of idiocy, which is this damn ring. Why do you need it to be portable? I honestly don't understand these wizards.

Dr. Cezar finishes his notes.

Dr. Cezar: Very good. And why did PoI-031 create the anomaly? Simply a desire for power?

SCP-031-PT-2: No, no, no. You see, Cipíro is not selfish. He was just in "extreme" conditions, or at least that's how he described it. You see, mere mortal… sorcerers, despite the power they can achieve, are still human, and so are the people important to them.

Dr. Cezar: What do you mean by that?

SCP-031-PT-2: Better put, he is selfish in a certain way. He doesn't want to let people go.

Dr. Cezar: SCP-031-PT-2, answer my questions—

SCP-031-PT-2 interrupts Dr. Cezar.

SCP-031-PT-2: It doesn't make a difference, anyway. Soon I'll have a new carrier.

Dr. Cezar: What do you mean?

SCP-031-PT-2: Do you think someone who knows of my existence wouldn't try to get me? Mere mortal… How ignorant are you?

<End of record>

Addendum: On 11/01/2016, a letter referencing SCP-031-PT appeared in the office of the Site Director of PT5. Investigations carried out on-site were unable to determine the origin of the document. Surveillance systems failed to record the moment when the letter was placed on site. The document was removed from the office, and archived alongside all other documents relating to SCP-031-PT. A transcript of the contents of this letter can be found below:

Hello, Mr. ████. I have urgent matters to discuss with you. I recently discovered through a certain friend that you possess an object of great value to me. The artifact in question is a cloistered imp that bends the world without magic. I do not need it for myself, but for someone else; my daughter. I need you to understand, my only need of it is to complete a study that will greatly improve my daughter's situation. Please, I beg you for your help. I can even grant you a wish if you agree to help me. Please, Mr. ████, a life depends on you. When you decide, just place the ring in this letter.

—Cipíro
