Usage

The article can be used for the creation of raw materials as well as monetary support for the operations of the Insurgency. Experimentation must be carried out in a controlled environment and personnel must wear safety suits and follow the assigned protocol at all times to avoid accidental transformation. Test subjects must only be extracted from prisoner cells. (See Public Update - 06/04/1926)

Report

The item is a men's white glove made of Victorian era cotton. When the item is used to touch any living organic object it will transform it into solid gold with a purity of 99.99%. For the effect to take place, the person must touch the body with the tip of the right index finger, which will initiate the change. Any attempt to use another finger, the whole hand, or the glove alone will not trigger the effect. Any living being that is transmuted will take an average time of twenty (20) seconds to one (1) minute to transform depending on the size and volume of the organism. Experimentation has shown that the glove is incapable of transforming organisms other than living humans. Other living organisms such as animals, plants and even single-celled organisms do not present any kind of change. The item is also not capable of transmuting dead organisms, regardless of their state of degradation.

The instances transmuted by the article have been shown to have the same properties of average gold as being able to retain energy on a larger scale than other metals allowing the development of more efficient infrared reflectors as well as retention and focus of heat in the industrial creation processes of weapons. As it is a more ductile and malleable metal, it has been possible to create transparent sheets, with a thicker thickness, surpassing in durability the polymer alloys currently used. The gold created is also an excellent and strong conductor for the electrical installations of the Insurgency bases.

History

The article was part of the objects that were stolen from containment by the Insurgency during the Civil War of the Foundation. Formerly under the designation SCP-███, Safe Class, the item was the first contained object belonging to MC&D Ltd. during the Foundation's first major raid on its main private club in London, England in 1911. During the raid ██ gold statues of men and women were found in positions ranging from dying to erotic poses. Although currently MC&D Ltd. has tried to persuade you to return the item to even purchase it for a large sum, the High Command has decided that it would be more beneficial to the Insurgency to keep the item.
