Item #: SCP-3XXX Object: Safe Keter Special Containment Procedures: Due to the fact that SCP-3XXX cannot be moved, the lab which it was discovered in is to be cordoned off from the rest of the facility it is part of. Any civilians attempting to enter the lab are to be told that it is closed due to concerns regarding the structural integrity of the building. Experimentation or other use regarding SCP-3XXX is to only be carried out by personnel with a clearance level of 2 or higher who have permission from the Director of Site-881. Revision 8/8/2022: Methods of permanently ceasing activity of SCP-3XXX or otherwise containing it are currently being developed. See Addendum 3XXX-1 for details. Description: SCP-3XXX is a space-time anomaly located in the a research lab in the basement of the University of ██████████, ███ ███████. SCP-3XXX is a sphere roughly 22cm in diameter, due to the nature of SCP-3XXX, precisely measuring it is near impossible. Any object which completely or partially enters SCP-3XXX exits the anomaly on the diametrically opposite side of the sphere (E.g. a pencil inserted halfway into SCP-3XXX results in the front half of the pencil exiting the anomaly opposite the entry point). It appears that matter "skips over" the space which SCP-3XXX occupies. Objects with mechanical or otherwise moving parts which enter SCP-3XXX retain all functionality despite now being on opposite sides of the anomaly. Discovery: SCP-3XXX was discovered on 21/7/2022 by personnel who were embedded into the University research department at the time. SCP-3XXX was the result of a teleportation experiment conducted by Senior Researcher Francis Miller. The goal of the experiment was to teleport a baseball from one chamber 1.5 meters into another chamber. The experiment was successful, however the results were not entirely as predicted. The original chamber, where the baseball was prior to the experiment, now held SCP-3XXX. Researcher Miller and all assistants present during the experiment were administered Class-A Amnestics and returned to their homes. All traces of the experiment were erased from University archives.

[LEAD RESEARCHER]: Francis Miller

[DATE]: 20/7/2022

[BEGIN LOG] Ianua was a success. After 6 long years as the head of this department we have finally achieved short-range teleportation. I hope you all know that were Researcher Hoffman alive today, he would be immensely proud of the work you all have done here. While Experiment 3F was technically a success, there is still work to be done regarding the problem of what remains in place of the teleported object. In case you were not aware, we successfully teleported a baseball 1.5 meters, but a slight problem emerged that we hadn't expected. A gap in the fabric of space-time remained where the baseball had been prior to its relocation. Basic experiments have shown that objects inserted into the area seem to pass over the space it occupies. It's like the universe didn't know what to put in place of the ball, so it just put nothing, an error. If teleportation is to be implemented on a larger scale, this phenomena must be accounted for. We have to find a way of filling the space of an object at the moment it teleports. Until further notice, Ianua experiments are not to be performed. [END LOG] Addendum 3XXX-1: On 8/8/2022 it was observed that SCP-3XXX had noticeably grown in the 26 hours since the previous experiment. SCP-3XXX appears to be growing exponentially at a rate of [REDACTED]. SCP-3XXX is expected to reach the size of the Earth on 10/12/20██. Any and all methods for stopping the expansion of SCP-3XXX are to be tested as soon as possible. SCP-3XXX is to be reclassified as Keter until it can be permanently contained.

Item #: SCP-3XXX Object Class: Safe Special Containment Procedures: The room which SCP-3XXX resides in is to be locked at all times when not in use. A sign is to be present on the door informing any civilians that the room is not fit for use due to mold. Because of the location of SCP-3XXX, heavier containment measures cannot be put in place. One Agent, under the guise of being a member of the school's security force, is to monitor the room for civilians attempting to forcefully enter it. In the event any unauthorized personnel successfully enter SCP-3XXX, they are to be administered Class-A Amnestics and relocated to a different area of the building. Description: SCP-3XXX is a temporal distortion centered around Room 602 of ███████ Elementary School, ██. Room 602 is located in the basement of the building, and was used for storage prior to the Foundation discovering it. Room 602 has since been emptied of all of its storage contents. The anomalous properties of SCP-3XXX do not exceed the spacial boundaries of the room. Persons who enter SCP-3XXX experience less time than an outside observer does, the degree to which time varies changes from person to person, though the factors that contribute to the difference are currently unknown. The distortion of time within SCP-3XXX has been observed to range from 99% the same as outside the anomaly, to in one case only 37% the same. The anomalous properties of SCP-3XXX only manifest when a) the door to the room is closed and locked, b) when the window present on the door has been entirely covered by anything that is completely opaque, and c) when only one person is present within the room. Addendum 3XXX-A: The Foundation was informed of the existence of SCP-3XXX by D-8801 in a bid for his freedom. D-8801 is a 38 year old Caucasian male of average build, who was in prison with a life sentence without the possibility of parole on 3 counts of voluntary manslaughter. D-8801 was assigned to SCP-████ prior to his involvement with SCP-3XXX investigations. D-8801 told Foundation personnel that when he was a child, he attended ███████ Elementary, and would hide from older kids in Room 602. D-8801 has also stated that his parents would regularly beat him for minor displays of disobedience, though this was never reported to the athorities, nor was it mentioned in his court case. D-8801 has said that many hours would pass for every minute he spent inside, and that 2 weeks had passed the first time he hid in the room. When asked why he would continue to enter Room 602 for long periods of time, D-8801 told personnel that he had made friends with another young child (hereby designated SCP-3XXX-1) that also used the room to hide from things. SCP-3XXX-1 could reportedly manipulate reality in seemingly any way within the room, and would often console D-8801 when he was particularly distressed. D-8801 estimated that he had spent 3 years (real time) in total within SCP-3XXX over the course of his time at the school. SCP-3XXX-1 had never been observed by Foundation personnel. It is currently unknown whether SCP-3XXX-1 ever actually excited, or whether D-8801 had simply imagined it as a form of coping with his situation. Following the confirmation of the existence of SCP-3XXX, D-8801's request for freedom was denied, he was administered Class-A Amnestics and assigned to test SCP-████.

Item #: SCP-3XXX Object Class: Safe Special Containment Procedures: The door of room 602 of Clarence-Walsh Elementary School is to be locked at all times when testing, exploration, or other use regarding SCP-3XXX is not in progress. A sign is to be present on the door informing any civilians that the room is not fit for use due to mold. Activities involving SCP-3XXX are only to be carried out when the school is not in session. One Agent, under the guise of being a member of the school's security force, is to monitor the room for civilians attempting to forcefully enter it. In the that event any unauthorized personnel successfully enter SCP-3XXX, they are to be administered Class-A Amnestics and relocated to a different area of the building. Because of the location of SCP-3XXX, heavier containment measures cannot be put in place. Description: SCP-3XXX is a spacial relocation and temporal distortion anomaly accessed through the door of a storage room (room 602) located in the basement of Clarence-Walsh Elementary School in Waukoma, West Virginia. When an observer opens the door but remains in the hallway outside, room 602 appears to be no different than any of the other storage rooms in the school. Room 602 is filled with wooden desks, tables, and chairs. A chalkboard is present on the left-most wall relative to an observer stood outside of the room. The anomalous properties of SCP-3XXX manifest when a subject walks through the doorway of room 602. Upon fully crossing into the room, the subject is transported into a dilapidated and mirrored version of the school. Nearly every surface within SCP-3XXX is noticeably dirty. Cobwebs are present on most objects, though no spiders have ever been observed. Many of the florescent cieling lights have burnt out or been broken. Any movement of objects in the real version of the school is matched within SCP-3XXX only after all subjects have left and re-entered through the doorway. Everything outside of the school, however, has been replaced with a seemingly endless plane of nothing. The ground is indistinguishable from the sky by sight, leading to disorientation of subjects who venture away from the school. There are no sources of light outside of the school, and light being emitted from an object not part of the building, including spotlights, flashlights, etc, only yield a range of visibility of less than 2 feet from the source. Drones sent to explore away from the school have not yet found an edge or any change in the environment. SCP-3XXX is inhabited by dark, translucent beings which appear to wear 1920s era clothing, designated SCP-3XXX-1. SCP-3XXX-1 do not acknowledge or interact with objects or personnel from real-space, and have been observed to pass through any obstacles in their path. SCP-3XXX-1 instances fall into 2 categories, teachers, and students (designated SCP-3XXX-1-A and SCP-3XXX-1-B respectively). At 07:00 (local time), 32 instances of SCP-3XXX-1-A (one for each classroom) manifest outside the school and enter through the main entrance. By 07:05, all SCP-3XXX-1-A instances will have entered their respective classrooms, and their movements are thereby synced until 15:00, when both SCP-3XXX-1-A and SCP-3XXX-1-B exit the school and dematerialize back into the darkness. At 08:00, instances of SCP-3XXX-1-B also manifest outside of the school, the number of which is dependent on the population the the school in real-space. SCP-3XXX-1-B congregate in the cafeteria of the school until 08:05, when they begin going to their classes according to a schedule identical to the schedule of the real version of the school. This sequence repeats daily; there do not appear to be any days where instances of SCP-3XXX-1 do not attend the school. Time is also distorted within SCP-3XXX. The degree to which time distorts within SCP-3XXX varies from subject to subject, though the factors that contribute to the difference are currently unknown. When more than one subject enters SCP-3XXX at a time, the time distortion is averaged from the difference that the individuals present would experience if they were alone. Any non-human life which is brought into SCP-3XXX will proceed to expire as if it is being deprived and food and water at a rate 10x that which they would in real-space. Following expiration, it will dematerialize over a period of 1-2 hours. Show Addendum 3XXX-1 / Discovery Hide Addendum 3XXX-1 / Discovery Addendum 3XXX-1 / Discovery: SCP-3XXX was brought to the attention of the Foundation by D-Class personnel #8801 in a bid for his freedom. D-8801 is a 38 year old Caucasian male of average build, who was in prison with a life sentence without the possibility of parole on 3 counts of voluntary manslaughter. D-8801 was assigned to SCP-████ prior to his involvement with SCP-3XXX investigations. D-8801 told Foundation personnel that when he was a child, he attended Clarence-Walsh Elementary, and would hide from older kids in SCP-3XXX. D-8801 has claimed that in addition to being bullied while at school, his parents would regularly beat him for minor displays of disobedience, though this was never reported to the authorities, nor was it mentioned in his court case. D-8801 has stated that he had spent 2 days (real time) within SCP-3XXX during his first visit, and estimated that he had spent 3 months (real time) in total within SCP-3XXX over the course of his time at the school. When asked why he would continue to enter SCP-3XXX, D-8801 replied that he had become friends with an entity within SCP-3XXX (designated SCP-3XXX-2). SCP-3XXX-2 has been described as a disembodied voice, which spoke to D-8801 on numerous occasions. When D-8801 was shown images of SCP-3XXX following its discovery, he noted that the school was quite a bit more dirty than he had remembered. It is possible that the worsening of conditions within SCP-3XXX only occurred after D-8801 had stopped visiting. Following the confirmation of SCP-3XXX's existence, D-8801 continued to be questioned regarding information on SCP-3XXX. When it was determined that he had no more information to give, his plea for freedom was denied and he was summarily terminated.

Item #: SCP-3XXX Object Class: Keter Neutralized Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3XXX is currently in containment of its own volition. There are no known methods for permanently containing SCP-3XXX. Were it to decide to leave it's containment unit, coercion would be the only proven method of re-containing it. SCP-3XXX resides within a ████████ brand elevator cab in a standard containment cell at Site-56. A metal folding chair is to be present within the cab for personnel visiting SCP-3XXX. A minimum of once a day, any personnel, including but not limited to D-Class, Researchers, Agents, etc, are to enter SCP-3XXX’s containment cell and converse with it for at least 30 minutes. The topics of conversations between personnel and SCP-3XXX are not of importance, though personnel should be urged not to aggravate SCP-3XXX, as this is what has caused it to leave containment is all previous breaches. If SCP-3XXX leaves its containment cell, the internet is to be monitored for any mention of something that could be SCP-3XXX. When a promising lead is found, an agent in the area is to be dispatched. If SCP-3XXX is found, the agent is to apologize on behalf of the Foundation for offending it, and to request it return to containment. As of █/█/████, personnel are no longer to required to converse with SCP-3XXX, as it has not been encountered anywhere in the world for ██ weeks. SCP-3XXX's containment chamber is to remain as it was before SCP-3XXX stopped manifesting in the event that it returns. See Addendum 3582-A for details. Description: SCP-3XXX is a Class-2 inter-dimensional entity which claims to be “The God of Elevators”. SCP-3XXX usually takes the form of a disembodied telepathic voice of a man, though on occasion it has manifested as an orb of white light. SCP-3XXX cannot leave the cab of an elevator, though it can, at will, move to a different elevator anywhere in the world. SCP-3XXX is soft-spoken and averse to confrontation. When accused of something, insulted, or lied to, SCP-3XXX has been known to permanently cease conversation with the individual who made the antagonistic statement. It is believed that SCP-3XXX cannot interact with the physical world in any way, though this could be due to SCP-3XXX simply refusing to do so. SCP-3XXX requests to be called “Anypsono” and to be referred to as Sir. Refusal to comply with these demands is met with SCP-3XXX leaving containment after 3 warnings. When asked why it chooses to stay in containment, SCP-3XXX replied “I am so very bored. I have no one else to talk to. The rest of my kind want nothing to do with me. You people seem so awfully keen on keeping things like me in little boxes, I figure I can use you as entertainment.” Discovery: SCP-3XXX was discovered in Hong Kong, China, in elevator 1A of ██████████ ████████, a local software distribution center, after rumors began spreading of the presence of a ghost in one of the elevators. The Foundation was alerted to the existence of SCP-3XXX after an influx of internet searches on how to exorcise ghosts came from the building. Agent ██████ █████ was dispatched to the location on ██/█/████ and confirmed the presence of an anomaly within the elevator after SCP-3XXX asked him how the weather was. Following the confirmation of SCP-3XXX, elevator 1A was removed from the building and relocated to Site-56, where it remains today. Show Addendum 3582-A Hide Addendum 3582-A Addendum 3582-A: The following is the personal account of Researcher Miller, who conversed with SCP-3XXX prior to it ceasing to manifest. POST TRAUMATIC EVENT REPORT SUBJECT: Researcher █████ Miller

DATE: █/█/████

ITEM # (I/A): SCP-3XXX

FOREWORD: Researcher Miller was conversing with SCP-3XXX regarding the nature of the entity prior to this incident. From an outside perspective, upon the closing of the elevator doors, the cab vanished before returning approximately 5 minutes later. I had been talking to it for about 10 minutes when the topic of its nature came up. I asked it if there were things it hadn't told anyone else, and it said yes, there were. I asked if it would mind elaborating a bit, to which it told me to push the button for the 0th floor, a button I hadn't noticed before. After I pressed the button, the doors of the cab closed and the elevator felt like it was moving downward, as if it were still in an elevator shaft. When the doors finally opened, my senses were berated in ways I had never experienced before. Bright colors and geometric shapes flew towards me. I found myself weightlessly floating among infinitely complex fractals, all blending and clashing with each other. It was then that I heard SCP-3XXX's voice in my head once again. He told me that this was his former home, and that I was now experiencing something that no other human has. He said that the human mind is incapable of grasping the true nature of this realm. I saw beings, or what I thought were beings, floating around with me. They appeared as orbs of light, swirling around me in what seemed to be a dance of some kind, bobbing up and down in an alternating rhythmic pattern. I could hear them singing the most beautiful song I had ever heard. I find myself unable to accurately describe exactly what it was I was experiencing. I was overcome with the most intense feeling of euphoria mixed with nostalgia mixed with fear. It would seem that SCP-3XXX could sense my feelings, as it then told me to remain calm, that I was in no danger in this place. This was when things took a turn for the worse. Contrary to what SCP-3XXX had told me, I began to feel as though I was falling, like gravity had been suddenly switched on. As I looked down I saw that blackness was beginning to envelope everything around me. Soon enough, my entire visual field was overtaken by a lack of sensory input. The sudden switch from bright flashing colors to stark darkness served only to worsen my feelings of fear. In an instant I was suddenly standing on solid ground, my hands held behind my back by an unseen and unfelt force. The space I was in was dimly lit, I could see an orb of light ahead of me. In front of the orb were 7 large shadowy masses, all of them towering over myself and the orb. They began to speak in a language I could not understand. Their voices shook the ground I was standing upon. The orb of light started to respond to whatever the beings had said before it was interrupted by the masses, their voices sounding angrier than the first time they had spoken. The masses and the orb went back and forth, talking about god knows what. Before long, both the masses and the orb stopped talking. Soon after, the orb of light grew in brightness before vanishing in a split second. It was then that the masses spoke to me, this time in English. They apologized for me being caught up in the dealings of an ordeal far larger than myself, and that no harm would come to me. I woke up still sitting in the folding chair in the elevator. There was a team of researchers standing just outside the elevator doors, who when they saw me sitting there, grabbed my and started asking a million questions a second. I never spoke to SCP-3XXX again, and form what I've gathered from conversations I've overheard while in recovery, nobody else has either. FOOTNOTE: Following this incident, SCP-3XXX never returned to its containment chamber. It is unknown if SCP-3XXX is out there, but searches are currently ongoing.

Item #: SCP-3603 Object Class: Safe Special Containment Procedures: The facility containing SCP-3603 is to be enclosed in a 2 meter tall barbed electric fence and patrolled by no fewer than 2 security officers outside and 5 inside the building. Any civilians or otherwise prohibited persons attempting to enter the facility by any means are to be apprehended and given Class-A amnestics before being returned to the nearest urban center. Testing or other use regarding SCP-3603 is only to be carried out with permission from Site-55 Director by trained individuals with a clearance level of 2 or higher. NOTE: The Ethics Committee has deemed it unethical to test destructive Description: SCP-3603 is a 1:1 virtual reality simulation of Earth that is contained on, and operated by, a network of 17 supercomputers. The computers which SCP-3603 is located on exhibit processing power far beyond that which the parts within them would suggest they be able to. SCP-3603 perfectly reflects the real world, including containing an AI human character for every currently living person, and is updated with newborns and deaths in real time. These AI characters have passed Eurynomus' Intelligence Test and are, as far as tests can confirm, fully sapient. How SCP-3603 achieves these feats is currently unknown. Connected to the supercomputers are 6 Asus brand monitors, a Logitech brand keyboard and mouse, and a helmet comprised of hundreds of tiny nodes that pierce the skin and take control of the wearer's mind, through currently unknown means, when a program named "Katabasis" is launched. When a subject wears the helmet and the Katabasis program is activated, the subject enters a mental state similar to that of REM sleep and their consciousness is transferred into the simulation as either an unseen "camera", similar to the type of perspective used in a conventional 3D editing program, or as a human "avatar". While inside the simulation, the user has the ability to manipulate it in virtually any way they wish by means of concentrating on they want to happen. (There appears to be no specific "language" or thought structure required for the users desires to be enacted in the simulation) All known limitations to the Katabasis subject's ability to manipulate the simulation are:

2. Directly deleting any of the AI human characters.

3. Users can only move their "camera" a maximum of 100km above sea level.

4. Abstract concepts cannot be edited, though non-physical attributes can be assigned to objects. Discovery:

Item #: SCP-XXXX Object Class: Safe Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard containment locker in Site-64. Testing, exploration with, or other use regarding SCP-XXXX is only to be carried out at the permission of the Site Director. Personnel using SCP-XXXX to catalog new dimensions must have a clearance level of 3 or higher and must be equipped with an Environmental Protection Suit due to the possibility that a dimension contains conditions unsuitable for human life. Observation Lab XXXX staff are to rotate shifts every 30 days. Any significant changes to SCP-XXXX-B are to be reported to Senior Researcher ███████, and if need be, additional research/defense personnel are to be dispatched to Earth-41. (As of ██/█/██, these containment procedures are obsolete. See Addendum XXXX-1 for details.) Description: SCP-XXXX is a dark grey metallic sphere 9.36cm in diameter. The chemical composition of SCP-XXXX is currently unknown, and is difficult to damage. A seam is present along the circumference of the sphere, splitting it into a northern and southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere is identified by a button on what would be a pole of the sphere. Holding down the button allows for the southern hemisphere to rotate (relative to the northern) with a clicking sound heard every 1.2 degrees turned. After the southern hemisphere is turned and the button is released, the user is transported to an alternate version of Earth within a different dimension, the sensation of which is described as being jolted awake. These dimensions are to be cataloged by the number of clicks heard while turning the hemisphere and in which direction. (E.g. Earth+10 refers to the dimension accessed by turning the hemisphere 10 clockwise clicks, while Earth-10 refers to 10 counterclockwise clicks.) Variation between dimensions is consistent with the calculations of ██████ ████████. Multiple personnel can be transported by keeping direct contact with SCP-XXXX during activation. It is hypothesized that SCP-XXXX functions by creating a localized dimensional rift, though further testing is required to verify this. Exploration with SCP-XXXX has shown that █% of alternate Earths are uninhabitable to humans long-term, ██% are similar to ours, having only minor historical differences, and █% have major differences in history, biology, or physical properties of the planet itself. Plans are currently being established to use the access to these dimensions for the benefit of the Foundation, or in the event of a major catastrophe, humanity as a whole. Discovery: SCP-XXXX was found in the backpack of a deceased body (hereby referred to as SCP-XXXX-A) located in an alleyway in ██████, ██████████. The body appeared to be that of a young Caucasian male, with 3 bullet wounds in its abdomen and 1 in its left thigh. SCP-XXXX-A was reported to police by city sanitation workers who came across it while on duty. The anomalous effects of SCP-XXXX were discovered by a police officer who had accidentally activated the object while inspecting it, but managed to return soon after. Agent ████ ███████, who was embedded into the police department at the time, informed the Foundation of the existence of SCP-XXXX, which was then taken into Foundation custody, along with SCP-XXXX-A. Class-A Amnestics were administered to all who came into contact with the body or SCP-XXXX, and all traces of them were erased from department records. Investigation: Genetic testing of SCP-XXXX-A showed a complete match to that of "Markus Dalton", who was alive and a student enrolled at the ██████████ ██ ██████████, ███ ███████, at the time. Investigation into whether Markus Dalton is connected in any way to SCP-XXXX or SCP-XXXX-A is currently ongoing. A spiral notebook, a map of ██████████ with an "x" near ██████, a compass, and various writing utensils were also found in the backpack of SCP-XXXX-A. Written in the notebook, among unintelligible scribbles, were series of numbers and pluses followed by another number with a minus sign in a box (Example: +1, +1, +2, +5, +4, +7, -20). During Exploration-06, the boxed numbers were applied to SCP-XXXX, which led explorers to the dimension designated Earth-41. Earth-41 appeared to be a version of Earth in which Humans either never evolved, or died out long in the past. On a subsequent visit, the exploration team made their way to the location of the "x" that was written on the map and found a small primitive village composed of mud huts, which was then designated SCP-XXXX-B. SCP-XXXX-B is a village who's population consists of 741 individuals genetically identical to Markus Dalton, and presumably, all from different dimensions. Inquiry into the origin of SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-B has been met vague answers from each denizen asked, and further insistence on a clear answer has been met with hostility towards Foundation personnel. Observation Facility XXXX has been established near SCP-XXXX-B for the purpose of monitoring and performing tests on the population of SCP-XXXX-B and the area as a whole. Current tests are determining the dimensional stability of the area, as it is unknown what effects the widespread use dimensional rifts are. To date, ██ interrogation attempts on citizens of SCP-XXXX-B have taken place, however, no new information has been gathered, despite escalation in techniques being used. Additional sessions are currently being scheduled. Addendum XXXX-1: Due to curiosity regarding the death rate within SCP-XXXX-B by the staff of OFXXXX, a census was taken on █/██/████ which revealed that the population had risen from 741 to 826 in the █ months since initial contact was established. The possibility of multiple SCP-XXXX existing within SCP-XXXX-B is currently being investigated. Addendum XXXX-2: On ██/██/████, citizens of SCP-XXXX-B assaulted OFXXXX staff during the monthly shift rotation. When additional personnel arrived to the area it was found that all researchers staffed at OFXXXX had expired due to injuries sustained in the attack. Additionally, all citizens of SCP-XXXX-B were no longer present within the village, which was in a state of disrepair after appearing to have been ransacked. A thorough search of the surrounding area was conducted, however, nothing was found. Due to this event, OFXXXX has been abandoned indefinitely.

Item #: SCP-3XXX Object Class: Euclid Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3XXX-1 is to be monitored by Observation Lab 3XXX (shortened to OL3XXX) for signs of dimensional displacement due to the use of SCP-3XXX-2. Any abnormalities are to be reported to Dr. ███████ at Site-64. A no-fly zone and perimeter around SCP-3XXX-1 have been established to prevent members of the public from discovering SCP-3XXX-1. Staff are to complete a one month shift before being relocated to another Site-64 division. (As of ██/██/20██, these containment procedures are defunct. See Addendum 3XXX-B for details.) SCP-3XXX-2 is to be kept in a standard containment locker at Site-64. Research/Experimentation with SCP-3XXX-2 is to be enacted only with permission from the Director of Site-64. Personnel using SCP-3XXX must have a clearance level of 3 or higher and must be accompanied by 1 or more additional personnel. Description: SCP-3XXX is the collective designation of SCP-3XXX-1 and SCP-3XXX-2. SCP-3XXX-1 is a small primitive village located in ████████ County, ███████. The population of SCP-XXXX-1 consists of 741 different incarnations of one man; all citizens of SCP-3XXX-1 claim to be named "Makrus Dalton", though any further details on who they are vary by individual. Inquiry into the origin of SCP-3XXX-1 has been met with a different answer from each individual asked. Further insistence for a truthful answer has been met with hostility to Foundation personnel. Observation Lab 3XXX was created near SCP-3XXX-1 for the purpose of monitoring and performing tests on the population of SCP-3XXX-1 and the area as a whole. Current tests are determining the dimensional stability of the area, as it is unknown what effects the widespread use of SCP-3XXX-2 are on the area. To date, ██ interrogation attempts on citizens of SCP-3XXX-1 have taken place, however no new information has been gathered, despite increasingly effective techniques being used. Additional sessions are currently being scheduled. SCP-3XXX-2 is a dark grey metallic sphere with a diameter of 9.36cm. The chemical composition of SCP-3XXX-2 is currently unknown and is difficult to damage. A seam is present along the great circle of the sphere, splitting it into a northern and southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere is designated by a button on what would be a pole of the sphere. Holding down the button allows the user to rotate the southern hemisphere (relative to the northern) with a "click" heard every 1.2 degrees turned. After the southern hemisphere is turned and the button is released, the user is transported to an alternate version of Earth within a different dimension, the sensation of which is described as being jolted awake. These dimensions are to be cataloged by the number of clicks heard while turning the hemisphere and in which direction. E.g. Earth+10 refers to the dimension accessed by turning the hemisphere 10 clockwise clicks, while Earth-10 refers to 10 counterclockwise clicks. Differences between dimensions are consistent with the calculations of █████ ████. Multiple personnel can be transported by keeping direct contact with SCP-3XXX-2 during activation. Discovery: SCP-3XXX-1 was discovered when a deer hunter in the area stumbled across it on ██/██/20██ and reported it to the Police. The Foundation was alerted to the existence of SCP-3XXX-1 by Agent ██████, who was embedded into the ████████ County Police Department at the time. Class-A Amnestics were administered to all who came into contact or learned of SCP-3XXX-1 and all records of it were erased from department records. SCP-3XXX-2 was confiscated from a citizen of SCP-3XXX-1 by Foundation personnel when they first arrived to SCP-3XXX-1, and was then transferred to Site-64 for testing. It is theorized that citizens of SCP-3XXX-1 used SCP-3XXX-2 to take the Markus Dalton form various different dimensions and bring them all to SCP-3XXX-1, but this is unable to be confirmed due to the hostility that citizens show to Foundation personnel and the failure of interrogation sessions. Addendum 3XXX-A: Due to suspicions about the current population of SCP-3XXX-1 by the staff of OL3XXX, a census was taken and it was discovered that the population had risen from 741 to 826 in the █ months since initial containment was established. The possibility of multiple SCP-3XXX-2 existing within SCP-3XXX-1 is currently being investigated. Addendum 3XXX-B: On █/█/20██, citizens of SCP-3XXX-1 assaulted OL3XXX staff during the monthly shift rotation. When additional personnel arrived to the area it was found that all researchers staffed at OL3XXX had expired due to their injuries. Additionally, all citizens of SCP-3XXX-1 were no longer present within the village, which appeared to have been looted hurriedly. A thorough search of the surrounding area was conducted, however nothing was found.

Item #: SCP-XXXX Object Class: Safe Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is kept in a standard containment locker in Site-64. Testing, exploration with, or other use regarding SCP-XXXX is only to be carried out at the permission of the Site Director. Personnel using SCP-XXXX to catalog new dimensions must be equipped with an Environmental Protection Suit in the event that a dimension has conditions unsuitable for human life, and must have a clearance level of 4 or higher. Observation Lab XXXX-Alpha is to be used to monitor SCP-XXXX-1 and is to report back to Site-64 if any dimensional anomalies manifest. Additionally, a yearly census is to be conducted to monitor the death rate of residents of SCP-XXXX-1, as cross-dimensional travel is theorized to have detrimental effects on living matter. As of 11/6/12, containment procedures are irrelevant. See Addendum XXXX-2 for details. Description: SCP-XXXX is a dark grey metallic sphere with a diameter of 9.36cm. The chemical composition of SCP-XXXX is currently unknown and is extremely difficult to damage. A seam is present along the great circle of the sphere, splitting it into a northern and southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere is identified by a button on what would be a pole of the sphere. Holding down the button allows the user to rotate the southern hemisphere (relative to the northern) with a "click" heard every 1.2 degrees turned. After the southern hemisphere is turned and the button is released, the user is transported to an alternate version of Earth within a different dimension, the sensation of which is described as being jolted awake. These dimensions are to be designated by the number of clicks heard while turning the hemisphere and in which direction. E.g. Earth+10 refers to the dimension accessed by turning the hemisphere 10 clockwise clicks, while Earth-10 refers to 10 counterclockwise clicks. Multiple personnel can be transported by keeping direct contact with SCP-XXXX during activation. Exploration with SCP-XXXX has shown that █% of alternate Earths are uninhabitable to humans long-term, ██% are similar to ours, having only historical differences, and █% have major differences in either history, life, or physical properties of the planet. Plans are currently being established to use the access to these dimensions for the benefit of the Foundation, or in the event of a major catastrophe, humanity as a whole. Discovery: SCP-XXXX was found in the backpack of Markus Dalton (designated SCP-XXXX-A), who was arrested by police in ██████, ██████████, on 5/5/2011. The police were called with reports of a man who appeared to be "staking out" ███████ High School soon after students were released for the day. The anomalous effects of SCP-XXXX were discovered when an officer accidentally activated the object, but managed to return to our dimension after a few minutes. Agent ████████ (who was embedded into the police department at the time) alerted the Foundation to the existence of SCP-XXXX. Class-A Amnestics were administered to all who came into contact with SCP-XXXX, and the arrest record of Markus Dalton was erased from the department database. Both SCP-XXXX and Markus Dalton were then taken into Foundation custody. To date, 2 interviews have taken place with Markus Dalton. Interview XXXX-1 : 7/5/2011

Interviewer: Agent Steve Carlson

Interviewee: SCP-XXXX-A

Forenote: SCP-XXXX-A is in a mild state of confusion for the entire duration for the interview. [BEGIN LOG] Carlson: What were you doing outside ███████ High School?

SCP-XXXX-A: Well, I wanted to go for a walk to clear my head, and I was walking past the school when out of nowhere the police-

Carlson: You're not fooling anyone Markus, and the sooner you answer our questions the sooner you get to go home.

SCP-XXXX-A: -deep breath- Alright fine. I was trying to find someone and I had reason to believe he was in the school. I had no intention to harm anyone, I was just taking a look.

Carlson: Who were you looking for?

SCP-XXXX-A: -pauses- I was looking for this dimension's Markus Dalton. Apparently he's a High School student but I wanted to make sure.

Carlson: Why exactly were you trying to find him?

SCP-XXXX-A: I was trying to bring him to the village, but I needed to talk to him first - It's not in our character to kidnap, it just seems barbaric.

Carlson: Why didn't you just wait 'til the kid got home? Why do it in public in broad daylight?

SCP-XXXX-A: I'm short on time, this dimension is more temporally offset than most, and the longer i'm away from the village, the more time passes there in relation to here. I wasn't about to bail on the mission after being away for weeks with nothing to show for it.

Carlson: You keep referring to a village, what is it? Where is it? Why did you want our dimension's Markus to go with you?

SCP-XXXX-A: If I tell you will you promise to let me go back?

Carlson: -pauses- Yes. We promise.

SCP-XXXX-A: 240 clockwise clicks from this dimension. Depending on where we are right now, it might take you a bit to get there on foot. It's where ██████ would be if there were other people. The population of the village is going down quickly, and we need to repopulate as fast as possible. You're currently throwing a wrench in that plan.

Carlson: Thank you for your cooperation, Markus. You'll be able to go home once we can verify your claims.

SCP-XXXX-A: Answer me one thing. You're not the police, are you? CIA? FBI?

Carlson: Something like that. [END LOG] Footnote: Under no circumstances should SCP-XXXX-A be allowed to return the village. The village is hereby designated SCP-XXXX-1 SCP-XXXX-1 is a small town located in Earth+240, consisting of (as of 10/5/2011) 7,496 different versions of the same man, Markus Dalton. Residents of SCP-XXXX-1 claim that the village was founded more than 60 years ago by a version of Markus Dalton who now goes by the moniker of "The Founder" (now designated SCP-XXXX-B). Earth+240 is a version of Earth where humans either never evolved, or died out early on, leaving it devoid of human life aside from the residents of SCP-XXXX-1. Observational Lab XXXX-Alpha was established near SCP-XXXX-1 for the purpose of monitoring SCP-XXXX-1 in case of unexpected space-time anomalies occurring due to the large amounts of inter-dimensional travel in the area.

Interviewer: Agent Steve Carlson

Interviewee: SCP-XXXX-A [BEGIN LOG] Carlson: Good morning Markus, i'd like to pick up where we left off in our last meeting.

SCP-XXXX-A: Sure thing.

Carlson: Where did you get the orb?

SCP-XXXX-A: It was given to me by the founder when he was too old to continue the retrieval effort.

Carlson: The retrieval of new versions of yourself?

SCP-XXXX-A: Exactly. I guess you could say I'm his successor. -chuckles- Maybe one day i'll be an old geezer just like him.

Carlson: Do you have any idea where the founder got it from?

SCP-XXXX-A: No clue. That's not something he goes around telling people. I doubt anybody else knows.

Carlson: When did you first go to the village?

SCP-XXXX-A: One day when I was about 22 years old, he showed up at my door and asked if I wanted to join him in paradise. To be honest I wasn't in the best place in life so I figured, hell, why not follow myself on an adventure? It was then that he brought me to the village, there couldn't have been more than 500 people at that point, but I was still amazed; it really was paradise. A society of only different versions of me, who wouldn't take that offer?

Carlson: I'm not sure that I would.

SCP-XXXX-A: You're sorely missing out then.

Carlson: Do you by chance know if we would be able to speak to the founder?

SCP-XXXX-A: You could certainly try. Although he might be dead by now.

Carlson: Thank you, Markus. I'll see when the soonest is I can get you back home.

SCP-XXXX-A: My pleasure. [END LOG] Footnote: SCP-XXXX-B was found dead when Foundation Agents attempted to meet with him. Addendum XXXX-1: During the second yearly census of SCP-XXXX-1 on 10/5/2012 it was discovered that despite SCP-XXXX being in foundation custody, the population of SCP-XXXX-1 was still growing (8,011 compared to the 7,496 of the previous year). In response to this, Foundation Researchers investigated already cataloged dimensions and found that ██% were now missing their version of Markus Dalton. Foundation Agents were met with hostility when they confronted residents of SCP-XXXX-1 about this fact. Addendum XXXX-2: On 11/5/2012, residents of SCP-XXXX-1 determined where researchers would teleport into Earth+240 on their monthly shift rotation and assaulted the team when they arrived. All new researchers and those at the lab were killed, along with possession of SCP-XXXX being lost. It is unknown how the residents of SCP-XXXX-1 managed this, as they previously showed little interest in Foundation affairs. With no means to retrieve SCP-XXXX, all research on the object and SCP-XXXX-1 have been indefinitely canceled. MISSING PERSON REPORT 12/5/2011

On the morning of 12/5/2012, High School student Markus Dalton did not arrive at ███████ High School and was reported missing by his family when he wasn't anywhere in or near their home. All attempts to contact Markus through his phone have yielded no response. If you have any information regarding this disappearance or see Markus anywhere, contact local police immediately. The last post Markus Dalton made on his ███████ account was the following: "Would you trust someone who claimed to be you?" Show SCP-XXXX Exploration Log Hide SCP-XXXX Exploration Log The following are descriptions of dimensions that are notable / exceedingly different to ours in some way. Dimension Description Discovery Date Earth+68 A version of Earth where all human life expired approximately 30 days prior to initial discovery. Initial stages of flora reclamation of society has begun. This phenomena was theorized to be caused by SCP-████ based on [REDACTED]. Further investigation proved this to be true, as SCP-████ was [REDACTED] upon arrival. 17/11/2011 Earth+29 A version of Earth that is completely covered in a desert. The sun appears approximately 20% larger in the sky than in our dimension. Temperatures exceed 71°C, with a humidity of 86%. 20/9/2011 Earth+05 A version of Earth that is covered in 0.96 m of water and appears to be mostly flat. 3/3/2012 Earth-101 A version of Earth where bipedal reptiles are the dominant species. 23/5/2011 Earth-33 A version of Earth where most objects have been replaced with dogs in the shape of said objects. 12/2/2012
