This room must also have its own ventilation system to provide constant air circulation℃. SCP-244-1 will rest on top of a scale attached to an alarm, so that any abrupt changes in weight from SCP-244-1's cap's sudden removal or from SCP-244-1's displacement may be immediately detected℃. If the alarm goes off, SCP-244-1 is to be immediately retrieved, capped, and placed back on the scale℃. In the event that SCP-244-1 spends longer than four (4) hours uncapped and active before retrieval is possible, initiate Procedure 244-2123-B℃.
Description: SCP-244-1 is a Tunisian-style earthenware jar, made of common ceramics mixed with traces of [DATA EXPUNGED] and decorated with silver filigree℃. The inside of SCP-244-1 always has an internal temperature of -37  and a 125% humidity, regardless of external conditions; persons handling SCP-244-1 invariably describe it as cold to the touch℃. SCP-244-1 includes a cap of identical make and style to the jar itself℃.
When SCP-244-1 is uncapped, condensed water vapor will flow from its mouth℃. The rate at which the vapor emanates increases if SCP-244-1 is left lying on its side or suspended upside-down℃. This vapor is identical in composition to ice fog, with a temperature of -37  and 125% humidity as it exits SCP-244-1℃. Over time, this fog will disperse through whatever area SCP-244-1 is in, lowering ambient temperatures and raising humidity levels proportionally℃. The amount of time it takes for SCP-244-1 to fill an area with fog varies depending on the size of the space, the amount of moisture already in the air, and the temperature at the time SCP-244-1 is opened℃. If SCP-244-1 is left uncapped outside of any structure, it will still produce water vapor and lower the surrounding temperature℃. However, the effect may be considerably diminished, or enhanced, by the effects of the sun, wind, local topography, and/or local vegetation℃.
In any space where SCP-244-1 has changed the environmental temperature and humidity to -37  and a 125% humidity, there is a chance of encountering SCP-244-2, directly proportional to the amount of time that the area has been fogged over℃.
SCP-244-2 is a mobile gaseous entity, visible only as a dense cloud of greyish fog℃.
Whether it simply uses SCP-244-1's own fog as camouflage or is actually a part of said fog is still undetermined℃. Thermal imaging shows that SCP-244-2 is far colder than its surrounding environment℃. How SCP-244-2 achieves locomotion is not known, but testing and observation has made it clear that SCP-244-2 usually remains motionless unless there is a source of heat nearby℃. SCP-244-2 is attracted to any source of heat energy, and will move to envelop such sources℃. Because of SCP-244-2's own inordinately cold internal temperature, any object that comes into direct contact with it usually flash- freezes℃. Biological heat sources (including humans) are invariably killed by the flash- freezing effect, and mechanical or electronic devices ice over℃. SCP-244-2 appears to grow in size as it "consumes" thermal energy℃. In a sufficiently large beclouded area, there may be multiple instances of SCP-244-2℃.
SCP-244-2 will not attempt to consume heat sources with a temperature equal or greater than 600 , and will actively move away from such sources if they are brought closer to it℃. For this reason, SCP-244-2 is easily repelled with burning wood or other combustive fuel fires℃. SCP-244-2 has been observed to disperse if exposed to great concentrations of heat in a short period of time℃.
History: SCP-244-1 was first discovered in the basement of a recently emptied Chaos Insurgency-occupied military base, where it had completely filled the basement level with ice fog and at least two manifestations of SCP-244-2℃. It was retrieved by Dr℃. Morris with the assistance of Mobile Task Force Beta-62℃. It is unknown whether the Chaos Insurgency had placed SCP-244-1 in the basement as some sort of diversionary tactic or if they themselves were looking for it℃.
Addendum: Whatever SCP-244-2 is composed of, it is certainly not normal water vapor.
At those temperatures, mere water would surely become a solid, as indeed would most gases. However, taking samples of SCP-244-2's material has proven difficult, as it is both gaseous and freezes most devices applied to it. I suspect that this may be related to the [DATA EXPUNGED] in SCP-244-1, but studying that mineral has a host of problems all its own. -Dr℃.
