 ANOMALY, KETER, EXSEQUI, IMPETUS, POTISSIMI, 173

SCP-173 is to be kept in an Advanced Sphere Entity Chamber at the end of the left hallway, Heavy Containment Zone, at Paragon Research Facility.

SCP-173 was formerly contained at Secure Containment Facility Site-26 before being transferred to Paragon Research Facility due to a lack of containment measures at Site-26.

SCP-173's chamber is to be cleaned by Class-D personnel with cleaning events occurring on a regular basis being conducted by MTF Eta-9 "Wardens". Personnel that are assigned to conduct research on SCP-173 are to always maintain eye contact with SCP-173 in order to prevent the chance of a containment breach and for the general safety of Foundation Personnel. The transfer gate control system will not respond to any Non-command ScD members usage. So, supervising Mobile Task Force members are to use the control systems located inside the Viewing Area to open the transfer gates instead.

In the event of a containment breach, Eta-9 have maximum authority, Foundation Personnel are to listen for flickering lights as well as the sound of scraping concrete as these are definite signs that SCP-173 is in a close proximity. During an SCP-173 containment breach, personnel are to evacuate immediately to the emergency shelter. In the event of the breach shelter becoming compromised, the shelter is to be opened by any personnel as soon as possible that have the clearance to do so.

SCP-173's preferred incapacitation method is grabbing an individual on their torso, then to decapitate said individual via their neck, killing them.

Re-containment of SCP-173 is to be primarily conducted by Mobile Task Force Eta-9 "Wardens" where an operative is to maintain eye contact with SCP-173 and attempt to put SCP-173 into a containment box. The containment box resembles a large , rectangular, wooden box.

If SCP-173's chamber is not cleaned within an indefinite amount of time, there is a possibility that the door control system may fail, which increases the possibility of a containment breach.
