Item #: SCP-5200

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Access to information regarding SCP-5200's spatial position is strictly regulated. All public and private aeronautics, space, and other organizations which may purposely or accidentally locate the interstellar portions of SCP-5200 have been infiltrated and measures have been put into place in order to protect information security.

D-Class personnel who have shown proficiency in paddle manipulation may be exempted from their duties in order to receive SCP-5200 training. Previously, this training would have been reserved for members of the general population. Due to the popularity of electronic tennis games declining in recent decades this is no longer a viable avenue of recruitment.

SCP-5200 is to be operated in two hour shifts at all hours of the day and night. There is to be a minimum of fifty trained operators standing by at all times consisting of the primary operations team, their backups, and tertiary backups. Every four months, these groups are to be shifted with the primary operations team moving to tertiary duty while the secondary operators move into primary space. This is to ensure all personnel responsible for operating SCP-5200 are equally qualified and able to step in when emergency situations arise.

Formerly influenced affiliates in electronic tennis manufacturing such as Mattel Electronics, Coleco, Olympos Electronics, National Semiconducter, A.G.S Electronics and others are to be monitored to ensure that no information related to SCP-5200 falls into the wrong hands. Corporate entities and manufacturers who have gone bankrupt are to have their liquidated assets seized, analyzed and disposed of.

There are no plans at present for Foundation astronautic agents to influence or neutralize SCP-5200, as the resources required to do so would consume a third of the Foundation's annual spacetime operations budget. The current containment procedures are to be maintained until circumstances dictate a change in strategy.
