SCP-123 looks like a tiny black hole held inside a geometric cage. The unsettling part is how much depends on the cage staying intact. The outer sphere is 65 centimeters across, with openings between its triangular sections. A black object about a millimeter wide sits at the center. Small objects and liquids inserted inside accelerate toward it and disappear. Light curves toward it too. The frame apparently suppresses an enormous gravitational field, though a pull becomes noticeable around three meters away. Gas gathers outside but cannot enter through the openings. The Euclid-class object is secured to a sturdy table without hooks. Personnel must keep loose clothing and hair away. Moving it requires avoiding sharp jolts, and transporting it over a large body of water is prohibited. Sensitive instruments must stay at least a hundred meters away because it affects their measurements. Someone proposes using it for waste disposal. The researcher responsible objects that the structure's durability is not understood, and interaction remains restricted to experimentation. That proposal exposes the practical temptation: something reliably disappears, so it begins to look like a solved problem. But a useful result doesn't establish a safe workload. The absence of visible waste tells the operator much less than a proper explanation would. Here, caution means resisting a convenient application until the part making it possible is better understood. Based on SCP-123 by "sloppyjoes7", SCP Wiki.
