Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7461 is to remain in a standard anomalous object containment unit unless it is currently in use. It has been noted that SCP-7461 should also remain under constant surveillance due to its ability to discover new anomalous objects, being of both high value to the Fondation, and a major breach in secrecy should it end up in the possession of a rival organization, or even the public.
Description: SCP-7461 is an anomalous compass of unknown origins that has been determined to point towards the nearest undiscovered anomalous object, more specifically, an anomalous object unknown to the Foundation. The mechanism by which the compass is capable of discerning this is still unknown.
Addendum: ██/██/██, Mailroom of Site-██, Discovery Log
A small cardboard box that arrived in the mailroom from currently unknown means is picked up by a member of the staff. This staff member, after noticing that there was no postal information listed on the box or on the manifest, decided to open the box. Inside, he found SCP-7461 and a note with the words “Have fun!” written on it.
Addendum: ██/██/██, Dr █████, Test Log #1
Dr █████, after realizing that SCP-7461 did not point to magnetic north and rather some other unknown point on earth, Dr █████ tested the ability of a strong magnetic force to verify the anomalous nature of SCP-7461. Using an industrial-grade electromagnet, it has been verified that SCP-7461 does not point towards a magnetic force like a regular compass.
Addendum: ██/██/██, Dr █████, MTF Reconnaissance Team, Test Log #2
Dr █████ and a small MTF Reconnaissance Team were transported via helicopter to reach the location that SCP-7461 was pointing to. The location was discovered to be ██████████, and much to the delight of Dr █████, the MTF Reconnaissance Team would discover what would later be designated SCP-7463 at the pointed location.
