Item: SCP-8116
Object class: Keter
Special containment procedures: SCP-8116 is to be contained within a 10m³ reinforced steel chamber, surrounded by an electromagnetic field designed to disrupt any manifestations of SCP-8116-A. The chamber should be monitored 24/7 by high-resolution cameras and seismic sensors. In the event of a containment breach, rapid response teams equipped with plasma weaponry and Class-X amnestics must be deployed immediately. Samples of the red substance secreted by SCP-8116 are to be analyzed in a maximum security containment environment.
Description: SCP-8116 is an artifact of unknown origin capable of manipulating reality and fulfilling the desires of sentient beings. The cube's window serves as a portal to a pocket dimension where the desires of those who gaze upon it are manifested physically. However, these manifestations always result in negative consequences and addictive dependencies.
SCP-8116-A entities emerge from the cube periodically, drawn by the darkest desires of researchers. These creatures are extremely hostile and possess superhuman strength and regenerative abilities. They are believed to be physical manifestations of humanity's repressed desires.
The red substance secreted by SCP-8116 is highly corrosive and accelerates decomposition. It is theorized that this substance is linked to the corrupt nature of desires and could be used to manipulate reality on a large scale.
Notable Incidents:
Incident 8116-1: During an experiment, a researcher expressed a desire for immortality. Shortly after, they began to experience accelerated aging and developed a terminal degenerative disease.
Incident 8116-2: A containment breach allowed multiple SCP-8116-A entities to escape, resulting in a massacre at Site-██. It took several months to restore order.

Hypothesis:
- SCP-8116 may be an artifact created by an advanced civilization to study the nature of human desire.
- The cube could be a sentient entity that feeds on the negative desires of humanity.
- The red substance may be a form of dark energy that corrupts everything it touches.
Conclusion:
SCP-8116 poses an existential threat to humanity. Its ability to manipulate reality and create hostile entities makes it one of the most dangerous SCPs known. The immediate destruction of the cube is recommended, although the potential long-term consequences must be considered.
