Item #: SCP-343
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-343-A and SCP-343-B are to be held in a 7m x 7m containment area. The floor of the containment is to be comprised of a 1 foot layer of iron. Standard furniture and bathroom facilities are to be provided. SCP-343-A and SCP-343-B are not allowed to step foot on any surface that has been found to be vulnerable to their anomalous effects without foundation personnel present.
Description: SCP-343-A and SCP-343-B appear to be a set of twin boys, wearing identical overalls, boots, shirts, and yellow hard hats. SCP-343-A and SCP-343-B are differentiated by the respirator mask that hangs around SCP-343-A's neck and the red bandana that is tied around SCP-343-B's neck. SCP-343-A and B are were both found to be in possession of shovels.
SCP-343-A and SCP-343-B are capable of digging through multiple surfaces that are considered difficult to penetrate through typical means with very little effort. SCP-343 have also been discovered to dig to depths far deeper than any manmade machine is capable of. If left unrestricted, SCP-343 will continue to dig, showing no signs of stopping or exhaustion.
SCP-343 has been shown to have the ability to dig through dirt, sand, limestone, silt, rock, granite, permafrost, clay, and ice, cement, and concrete, though SCP-343 is incapable of digging through iron. It was previously believed that SCP-343's anomalous properties resided within their shovels. When replaced with a standard shovel, SCP-343 is still capable of digging through the above listed terrains.
Upon examination, SCP-343's shovels have been shown to have no anomalous properties. Further research have found that the shovels are from the brand ULINE.
