Item #: SCP-10407
Object Class: Pending [Note: Due to the varied sapient entities present, each individual anomaly will be given an object class of its own.]
Disruption Class: Vlam
Risk Class: Caution
Special Containment Procedures: During the hours of 7:00 AM EST and 3:00 PM EST, SCP-10407 is allowed to operate as intended. During any hours where the sun has set, all entry points to SCP-10407 are to be locked, including the front door, loading dock, basement, and windows. The main areas, including the lobby, lower levels, and upstairs rotunda are to be guarded by at least one member of MTF Delta-4 ('The Night Guards') at all times, until sunrise. Any keys held by members of MTF Delta-4 are to be secured to the interior of their jackets. MTF members are to then perform Procedure Gamma-12-Osiris, which adjusts all exhibits to their original positions.
Description: SCP-10407 is a group of anomalous entities that make up the contents of any museum that houses SCP-10407-A. At this time, the current site is the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, referred to as SCP-10407-Ω. During daylight hours, all affected entities are inert. Upon the setting of the sun, SCP-10407-A will activate, causing multiple exhibits on display and in storage to become active. Any exhibits affected by SCP-10407-A that are outside of the walls of SCP-10407-Ω when the sun rises will turn into dust.
SCP-10407 was first activated in 1952 when SCP-10407-A was brought to the site with SCP-10407-B, but was not reported until 2006 when MTF Delta-4 member ‘Circadian’ reported the existence of SCP-10407 to the Foundation. Circadian provided a document maintained by the previous caretakers of the site (Document 10407-Alpha “Night Guard Instruction Manual”).
What follows is a list of the individual entities that SCP-10407 is currently composed of, as well as entities that have been part of it in the past. Currently affected entities are marked with letters of the Latin alphabet. Previously affected entities are marked with letters of the Greek alphabet.
