Item Number: SCP-2871

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment procedures: Due to the nature of SCP-2871, observation station-2871 has been established in the building containing SCP-2871. The door to SCP-2871 is to be locked and guarded by one armed guard at all times, unless testing is in progress.

All entrances to the building containing SCP-2871 are to be locked and secured at all times, except for Foundation access. Any civilians attempting to enter the building containing SCP-2871 or the surrounding are to be processed and escorted off the property. Contents of SCP-2871 being removed must be documented, decontaminated, and sent to the designated storage site.

Staff exiting SCP-2871 must deposit their equipment to the stations decontamination lockers. It is advised that a medical team is awaiting any personnel entering SCP-2871.

Description: SCP-2871 a is white, concrete room of indeterminate size. SCP-2871 is located within the basement of a now abandoned ██████ office building.

Attempts to measure the chamber's full size have been met with failure, however the furthest exploration teams have measured has been 500m2.

The chamber's air is dense with a dark grey vapor. The vapor is reported to reduce visibility to 1 meter. Exposure to the lungs, skin, and digestive track causes migraines, severe disorientation within 1-2 minutes, and in some cases seizures. The use of air filters does not neutralize these effects. The use of self contained breathing apparatus' is the only known way for extended explorations to be carried out. Objects exposed to the vapor are to be considered contaminated and must not come into direct contact with personnel. This includes, but is not limited to: food items, water bottles, and new mouth pieces. This makes long term exploration SCP-2871 extremely difficult. Attempts to identify the vapor have been inconclusive.

The first ten meters of SCP-2871 appears to be empty. Moving past this distance, exploration teams have discovered a collection of office supplies (computer chairs, filing cabinets, desks, ect). These objects exert no anomalous effects. Further away from the entrance of the room, exploration teams have several metal crates. The crates are sealed but contents can be accessed by using traditional metal cutting tools.The contents of these boxes vary, ranging from ballistics firearms, vials of various identified and unidentified chemicals, folders of blueprints for machines, explosives, and various disassembled electronics. The crates bear no identifying tracking numbers or symbols.

Due to documents and other objects found within SCP-2871 during exploration, it is theorized that there are other anomalous objects further in the chamber (see addendum). Because of this, exploration teams have been given the primary mission of locating the source of the vapors and neutralizing it so the retrieval of possible anomalous objects is feasible.

Addendum. On ██/██/██ Exploration team Alpha, discovered a folder with several documents. The following is a transcript of said documents.

"Allen, This is amazing. All this space, and at this price? No more storage fees, no more Garrett always complaining about lack of space, and no more dealing with those mover creeps?

Where did you find this guy? He's a freaking wizard. I mean you said he could do some weird stuff, but THIS?! You really out did yourself with the contract work, dude. Meet me after work and we'll get some dinner. -Kelly"

"Allen, So listen man, the guy who built this for us called me this afternoon. He said that we need to store some stuff for him, 'as part of the contract'.

Its not like we're hurting for space, but I just wanted to run this by you since he's coming on your shift. I'm serious about dinner, too. Its my treat. -Kelly"

"Allen, Who is this guy? When he told me that we had to hold on to stuff for him, I was thinking like furniture, not lab equipment. I don't think corporate wants outside businesses using the building, but if it lets us keep this room…I need you to help me move this stuff to the WAY back. BTW you still haven't taken me up on my offer -Kelly.

"Allen, Ok this is getting scary now. Have you seen whats in those boxes? Is it safe to hold on to these, they look like they could go off at any second. He's coming over with another truck load this evening. Can we talk about this at the Diner? -Kelly"

"Allen, He said one truck load. ONE. I'm running out of excuses for why we got so many deliveries yesterday. The rest of the guys are scared of handling this stuff. I don't blame them. Guns, robots, I'm pretty sure there was a couple explosives! And I was hearing things moving in the larger crates. Are we a black market warehouse now? I think we need to call the feds."

"Allen, sorry about putting your desk out here, but we needed to move all the front stuff to the side to make way for last nights delivery. We put it in the WAY WAY back. Out of all the stuff back there, I can identify that one. It's an air pump. You can't hear it from here, but when your right up close to it, it sounds like its powered. I asked him why he left it on, and he said "Its to keep the rest of the stuff safe." I'd be more worried, but the guy said that this would be the last delivery for a while.

To celebrate, I've booked a table at Sarducci's for Wednesday. Look the part! -Kelly"
