Object Level

Special Containment Procedures
SCP-826 were sealed by a temporary Foundation Seal, during the days of the [REDACTED] incident, however, they have made limited contact with the Foundation since then.

Description
SCP-826 are street lights that were first found in [REDACTED], near [REDACTED] during the summer of 2005. Due to the nature of their anomalous properties, little information is known about their origins or how they first came into existence. Attempts to remove or destroy the object have all resulted in extreme damage to the lights and the surrounding area.

SCP-826 are adamant about maintaining their connection to the power grid, creating a marked power outage whenever one of the lights is tampered with. Thus, their connection to the grid has remained strong. Even so, SCP-826 are known to be highly resistant to both conventional and biological threat, with the only known damage being the near-total destruction of multiple mobile suits from the [REDACTED].

SCP-826 are non-anomalous and appear to be lifelike enough to appear in civilian guise, and act as normal traffic control lights. Nonetheless, they exhibit extreme signs of distress when tampered with or destroyed, suggesting that the exposure to humans and non-humans alike has caused physical trauma to SCP-826. Once their connection to the grid is severed, SCP-826 display symptoms of extreme depression and indicate a desire to permanently merge with the power grid, effectively ceasing to exist.

SCP-826 was uncovered during an ongoing investigation of the [REDACTED] incident, investigating the possibility that the street lights could be one of the three objects mentioned in the archived radio

Note: The studies has shown that this object does not relate to the "SCP-376" object in any way.
