Extra-dimensional Fax Machine

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be secured within a standard non-biological materials storage unit within Site-88. SCP-XXXX-3 and any errant paper feed and must be removed and stored in a separate on-site storage locker when SCP-XXXX is not in use.

Under no circumstances is SCP-XXXX to be connected to any unsecured data connection point within Site-88. Only data access points not connected to Foundation intranet and safeguarded by a minimum of six (6) human-operated "kill-switches" may be permitted for use during sanctioned experiments with SCP-XXXX by Class-D personnel acting under the indirect supervision of at least 2 (two) Level 3 researcher sanctioned via written O5 approval. Failure to comply with these procedures will result in termination.

Only functionally illiterate Class-D personnel are permitted to physically interact with SCP-XXXX to limit the potential for memetic hazard dissemination. Class-D personnel who upon post-session double-blind interviews recall any text produced by SCP-XXXX are to be administered class-A amnesiacs. (Unsuccessful administration of the most potent amnesiacs will result in expedient termination) REVISED as of ██/██/██: All testing on SCP-XXXX has been immediately discontinued by O5 Command. SCP-XXXX is to remain under constant 24-hour line-of-sight and CCTV surveillance by no less than twenty (20) heavily armed Foundation guards.

Instances of SCP-XXXX-2 and SCP-XXXX-3 are to be handled following strict observance of standard Level 2 bio-hazardous materials protocols.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a Brother brand InelliFax model series 1270e facsimile (aka "fax") machine recovered by Mobile Task Force Targus during a ██/██/██ raid of ██████ LLC, a law firm in █████████, ██. Surveillance data accrued by Operation Targus revealed that the firm was a fully-functioning legal office specializing in estate law. Business records revealed that the firm was a known affiliate of occult object trafficking consortium Marshall, Carter & Dark, and had been operating as such from ██/██/██ until it was secured by the Foundation.

Disassembly and examination of SCP-XXXX's interior components reveal no anomalous properties aside from dried human blood embedded within the machine's keypad and printing apparatus. It is the conclusion of Foundation researchers that the object is physically indistinguishable from similar Brother IntelliFax brand models of the 1270e series. Subsequent reassembly did not alter the phenomenon demonstrated by SCP-XXXX in any observable fashion so long as requisite protocols were enacted.

Ancillary items of note recovered during the culmination of Operation Targus include:

One (1) 3"x5" note card containing handwritten fax numbers and corresponding businesses, designated SCP-XXXX-1; A collection of 8"x11" legal-sized office paper, totaling ██ pages, designated SCP-XXXX-2. Analysis suggests these are faxes received by SCP-XXXX, with the earliest instance of SCP-XXXX-2 dating back to the year ████ according to the time-stamp on the pages' lower right corner; Thirteen (13) toner cartridges devoid of discernible manufacturer make or model, collectively designated SCP-XXXX-3. Initial electron spectography analysis revealed that the toners' "ink" share molecular properties with venom produced by Ophiophagus hannah, a reptile indigenous to Southeast Asia. Several anomalous objects of interest. The majority of SCP-XXXX-2 are believed to be invoices for these objects. (See also: Recovery Notes, Agent █████)

When connected to an approved data connection point and outfitted with an instance of SCP-XXXX-3 and an adequate supply of legal-sized paper stock, SCP-XXXX becomes "passive" and is able to receive fax transmissions from as yet unknown origins. Analysis of experimental data and recovered instances of SCP-XXXX-2 suggests that faxes received by SCP-XXXX originate from an alternative universe, as accompanying fax metadata and content do not match the sender's number in our reality. Conversely, SCP-XXXX may also be employed to send faxes to this unknown dimension, as well, although the Foundation's ability to do so is severely limited. (See: Experiment Log)

Initial testing revealed that SCP-XXXX only exhibits these phenomena when outfitted with an instance of SCP-XXXX-3; standard toner cartridges permit limited functionality in accordance with regular fax machines.

It is theorized that SCP-XXXX acts as a conduit between dimensions, and that this unique property was utilized by the firm of ██████ & ███████, LLC in an attempt to communicate with and obtain objects of interest from this alternate reality on the behalf of Marshall, Carter & Dark. Attempts by the Foundation to replicate this use has been met with, at best, marginal success.

OPERATION TARGUS Field Report ██/██/██

Agent █████, Mobile Task Force Targus, C.O. Between ██/██/██ and ██/██/██, I made visual confirmation of seventeen (17) parcel drops by commercial courier company Speedy Couriers, Inc., to the offices of ██████ & ███████, LLC from a clandestine vantage point. The ██████ & ███████, LLC building is three stories tall, and according to real estate data obtained from the ████████ County property valuation administration, contains a combined █████ sq. ft. of office space and no more than three (3) ground level entrances secured by biometric entry controls. On ██/██/██, Agent ████████ provided our team with records confirming the affiliation between ██████ & ███████, LLC and MC&D. My request for site raid and lethal use of force was submitted to and granted by O5 Command at 0830. I initiated a raid with ██ members of Mobile Task Force Targus (Hereafter, MTF-T) by 0837. MTF-T gained access to the building via an application of a battering ram to the structure's North entrance. Flash bang disorientation grenades were deployed in the lobby, incapacitating a secretary and two (2) clerical employees whom were removed from the theater of operations and detained off-site. First floor secured at 0839. I made the decision to establish field command on the first floor, and per S.O.P. divided the team into two sub-units, MTF-T-1 and MTF-F-2, to secure the building's upper and lower levels simultaneously. At 0840, MTF-T-1 exchanged light gunfire with armed employees during its ascent via the west stairwell. Three (3) employees were terminated in this manner. MTF-T-1 reported one (1) casualty. Floor two (2), comprised of cubicle-styled offices, secured at 0844. MTF-T-2 located entrance to basement storage area, secured by heavy blast doors, at 0841. Attempts to breach it with conventional explosives proved ineffective. Member of MTF-T-2 began impromptu crafting of thermite compound by 0842. At 0845, MTF-T-1 reached the third (3) floor, which consists of segmented offices devoid of hostiles. Dual offices for firm partners █████ ██████ and ████ ███████ locked. MTF-T-1 breaks through office's lock with shotgun-slug at 0846. Two (2) members of MTF-T-1 were immediately shot and killed by gunfire from █████ ██████, who was then shot and terminated. ████ ███████'s body was found seated at his desk, dead by apparent self-administered cyanide poisoning. SCP-XXXX and related materials are recovered from this office at 0850. At 0848, MTF-T-2 successfully applied a thermite charge to the blast doors and gains access to the basement storage area. Several anomalous items are recovered, and are as follows: A cardboard box containing four (4) pistols made of human bone, bearing manufacturer stamps for "Vellios Arms Ltd." Subsequent investigation revealed no such company to exist; A taxidermied animal bearing no resemblance to entries found within Foundation zoological records. The animal stands approximately 6 ft. tall, and has the body of a bear but its torso is comprised entirely of six (6) furry, squid-like tentacles approximately 3 ft. long, at the center of which rests a circular mouth lined with teeth. Inside of the mouth is an eyeball roughly the size of a standard basketball, fashioned from a mineral similar to topaz; An steel attache case containing twenty-three (23) coins of unknown origin and material secured within foam-padding. The coins appear to depict various scenes of torture inflicted upon human bodies; A set of the complete works of William Shakespeare, published by "Klermont House," an unknown publisher imprint. Notable discrepancies with accepted versions of Shakespeare's works abound, chief among them differing names of characters, alternate titles of existing plays, references to occult events, thirty-seven (37) new sonnets, and three (3) entirely new plays ("Blood & Machine," "The Flesh Throne," and "Tragedy of Io"); A collection of fine cutlery comprised of an unknown metal; A case of twenty-four (24) glass bottles labelled "Whore's Nectar" filled with an unknown alcoholic beverage. Post-operation testing reveals the beverage (40 proof) was distilled by unknown means, and is comprised of approximately 2% human blood. Neither the brand nor its distiller, a "N'tal Q'sh Distillery Co.," correspond to any known company; One DVD copy of "The Day the Clown Cried," a film starring comedian Jerry Lewis. The jewel case states that the film was the recipient of multiple Academy Awards in the year 1972 despite never being released by the film's production company; One (1) package of child-sized human body parts including eyes, kidneys and sexual organs, individually shrink-wrapped and stored in a refrigerator inside a professionally manufactured container featuring the logo for the "Little Donors" brand. Brand does not correspond to any known company or subsidiary; At 0900, MTF-T-1 and MTF-T-2 regrouped in the lobby. At 0902, it was brought to my attention that the three detainees had each committed suicide by means of cyanide capsules embedded within a false molar. MTF-T member Cpl. █████ informed me that he failed to conduct a cavity search of the detainees, and accepted full responsibility for his inaction. Once the SCP and all other items of interest were contained and en route to Site-88, MTF-T burned the property to the ground. Psy-ops were implemented and a cover story of a "gas leak" was channeled through applicable law enforcement authorities for dissemination among local media outlets. Witnesses were administered Class-A amensiacs/terminated when uncooperative. Efforts to trace the whereabouts of "Speedy Couriers" have so far been unsuccessful. Audio/visual recordings of Operation Targus can be found [DATA EXPUNGED] for further study. Agent █████ █████████
