     This is a formal request for SCP-513 to be immediately upgraded to the keter class, from its current euclid level. I understand that this type of request is normally processed through the classification department, but that would take months to process (we all know their work ethic) and I feel that this issue it imminent. As you are all aware, we recently had an incident in which multiple armed MTF units were subject to SCP-513 through an accidental ring (it is unknown if it truly was an accident). The MTF proceeded to display intense paranoia, outburst, and serve violence towards all other staff. Their condition, combined with their heavy weaponry resulted in 7 GENSEC casualties, 2 researcher causalities, and even 1 NTF causality (excluding the three MTF units who were infected). I believe this could have been prevented if proper, keter procedures were assigned to SCP-513, that is four security must be present during testing, at least one GENSEC should guard the containment at all times, and [REDACTED] procedures should be considered if a containment breach were to take place.

     I am hoping at least one of you would take this request into consideration given the amount of damage the SCP has caused already. I apologize in advance towards the classification department. Thank you for your time,

Senior Researcher Johnson.

Upgrade the security clearance needed to access it's containment locker. We don't need Keter classification for an object easily contained. After reviewing security footage I can safely state that the only reason the bell was rung in the first place was due to blatant disregard for standard safety protocol for stationary anomalous objects. Keter designation is reserved for objects that exhibit properties that make it dangerous AND hard to contain (hence the reason 173 remains Euclid, all you have to do is stare at it). Revised containment protocols/testing restrictions are recommended but a Keter upgrade would not fall in line with how we have come to designate Keter objects in the past

Object Class FAQ

What is the Locked Box Test?
The Locked Box Test is an informal guideline used to determine an object's most appropriate Object Class. It goes like this:

• If you lock it in a box, leave it alone, and nothing bad will happen, then it's probably Safe.
• If you lock it in a box, leave it alone, and you're not entirely sure what will happen, then it's probably Euclid.
• If you lock it in a box, leave it alone, and it easily escapes, then it's probably Keter.
• If it is the box, then it's probably Thaumiel.

Note that as a special consideration, something that is autonomous, alive, and/or sapient is almost always at least Euclid-class. That is, if you lock a living thing in a box and forget about it, it will eventually suffocate or starve to death, and that's not a good outcome. Something that is intelligent could also end up being smart enough to outwit its containment procedures and/or stop cooperating with the Foundation's attempts to contain it, making it more dangerous than it otherwise might be.
