SCP-9186 - If You Say Yes To One
Replica of SCP-9186.
Item Number: SCP-9186
Object Class: Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: Remaining pieces of SCP-9186 are kept in standard lockers. No further containment is required.
Description: SCP-9186 was a 95-carat diamond, originally mined in Andhra Pradesh, India, sometime in the early 1400s. Records indicate that if the local light level was sufficiently dark, SCP-9186 emitted a 15-lumen glow, similar to a children's nightlight. It was used by a series of monarchs within South Asia as a reading aid or for vision at night.
SCP-9186 was acquired through initial exploits in the region, which concluded with the suspension of British activities in South Asia. Popular rumors during this time claimed it was "cursed," as male rulers who owned SCP-9186 passed away through unlikely means1. As such, acquisition was straightforward.
However, after an unknown period following procurement, SCP-9186 was split into at least 54 pieces. No records exist pertaining to the cause of this damage — they have been lost or destroyed. Efforts were made to maximize the benefit from this unfortunate situation. Thus, these fragments were tested in hopes that multiple instances would be active for Foundation use. Personnel were told to record that all anomalous effects had ceased.
Larger pieces have since been utilized for Foundation benefit, starting from date of acquisition. A table of currently known pieces of SCP-9186 is below.
| Piece | Use |
|---|---|
| SCP-9186-8 | Reusable precision scalpel. Requested by field surgeon Dr. Najya Addams. |
| SCP-9186-15 | Diamond-tipped saw. Requested by Parabotany. |
| SCP-9186-25 | Quantum computation chips. Requested by IT Department. |
| SCP-9186-37 | Low-light lamp. Requested by Site-93 Acting Assistant Director Marcus. |
| SCP-9186-54 | Engagement ring. Requested by O5-11. |
This table does not include all pieces currently in use. Records corresponding to a number of larger pieces do not exist — they have been lost or destroyed, and no further explanation will be provided.
Returning SCP-9186 to its origin has been deemed too difficult to justify. Disinformation campaigns are in place. These currently emphasize the history associated with its previous owners and the lack of adequate security infrastructure or museums in the Indian subcontinent to accommodate SCP-9186.
Given SCP-9186's notoriety, containing knowledge of it has proven unsuccessful. Minor protests have resulted from this. While initial resistance was high, successful implementation of disinformation campaigns resulted in public outrage steadily decreasing. This was expected — previous rumors spread by colonial-era Foundation personnel proved wildly successful.
