At that time, SCP-001-J looked exactly as it does now, except for the addition of a sticky-note that said: 'If you push this button, you'll destroy everything.' The President managed to fight his compulsion to press SCP-001-J long enough to remove SCP-001-J from the elevator and lock it in the closet of his office. SCP-001-J induces a mild psychic compulsion upon all beings who see it or hear it described to try to push it. The mechanism by which SCP-001-J operates is not fully understood but it would be awesome to find out.

SCP-001-J is a self-destruct mechanism that Foundation scientists believe is powerful enough to destroy reality itself, consisting of a circular red button set into a metal case. Multiple molly-guards have been carefully placed over SCP-001-J, and the robots on Site-00 will be prepared to replace these guards if needed.ĭescription: SCP-001-J is big, red, shiny, strangely appealing button that just begs to be pushed. SCP-001-J itself will be kept locked in a cube made entirely from tungsten carbide, which is itself inside of another cube made of tungsten carbide, which will, in turn, be placed at the bottom of a three-kilometer long elevator shaft. To this end, Site-00 will be guarded entirely by automated defense systems and have no living staff whatsoever.

Special Containment Procedures: The location of Site-00, where SCP-001-J is to be kept, must remain an absolute secret.
