An artistic depiction of SCP-4XXX-3B, using D-4XXX-19's account of SCP-4XXX-1 as reference.

Item #: SCP-4XXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4XXX is to be stored in a hermetically sealed steel case within a locked room requiring a minimum of Level 3/4XXX clearance levels to be accessed. Alongside the containment chamber will be an openly accessible monitor’s office, with a bulletproof glass window allowing view of SCP-4XXX’s entire containment chamber separating the two rooms. In the event of any manifestation of SCP-4XXX-2 deemed to be hazardous to the containment area, Site Director ███████ is to be contacted immediately, with authorization to call in MTF Beta-7 ('Maz Hatters') if absolutely necessary. In the event of a containment breach by any instance of SCP-4XXX-3, all present instances are to be considered hostile and to be terminated at all costs. During explorations of SCP-4XXX-1, it is required that at least three (3) armed guards are present and at least two (2) members of MTF Beta-7 are on-site.

Description: SCP-4XXX is a 43x31x20 centimeter cardboard box, with one open 43x31 centimeter face and a rectangular holes cut in one (1) of its 43x20 centimeter faces. This hole is covered by a thin sheet of cellophane. Despite its fragile appearance, SCP-4XXX has proved to be indestructible via any means currently available to the Foundation. The object’s primary anomalous effect activates when touched by any human sentient organism (see Experiment E-4XXX-C). The moment the subject comes into physical contact with the object, they are transported instantaneously to a pocket dimension created by SCP-4XXX, to be referred to as SCP-4XXX-1. At this point, a crude artistic depiction the subject drawn on paper will manifest within SCP-4XXX. If this item is removed from SCP-4XXX, the subject will reappear next to SCP-4XXX, along with any other matter within 2 meters of the subject at the time of extraction, hereafter referred to as SCP-4XXX-2. If the subject dies within SCP-4XXX-1, the paper figure will be suffer any damage incurred to said subject, before disappearing approximately one (1) minute after death.
The nature of SCP-4XXX-1 will vary based on SCP-4XXX’s contents, with a few theorized constants:

• SCP-4XXX-1 will possess a habitable atmosphere for its entrant.

• SCP-4XXX-1 will possess the laws of physics and Hume levels of the location of SCP-4XXX.

• SCP-4XXX-1 will not contain any form of life identical in species to the subject.

It is to be noted that only one organism may be inside SCP-4XXX-1 at a time, making exploration significantly more difficult. This difficulty is augmented by the fact that SCP-4XXX only transfers living organic matter to SCP-4XXX-1 (exploration attempts halted after Incident 4XXX-F).
Below are a list of items placed into SCP-4XXX, their effects on SCP-4XXX-1, and any items to manifest as a direct result subject retrieval.

+ Experiment Log 4XXX-1

Experiment Designation: E-4XXX-A

SCP-4XXX Input: Two (2) kilograms of fine sand, one (1) wax paper cup with 1.5 deciliters of freshwater, Subject D-4XXX-19

Subject Description: D-4XXX-19. A 34-year old Caucasian female conscripted from Mendoza Prison in Mendoza, Argentina while serving a life sentence for assault and battery.

Testing Log: Subject D-4XXX-19 was sanitized and introduced into the containment area by Junior Researcher ████. Subject was compliant to orders and placed her right index finger on SCP-4XXX, resulting in the subject’s abrupt demanifestation. A small paper figure resembling D-4XXX-19 appeared within SCP-4XXX in the same instant. After 30 minutes, subject was extracted from SCP-4XXX-1, along with 30 kiloliters of freshwater. After cleanup and debriefing, subject reported walking through a desolate desert biome for an estimated five (5) minutes before noticing several ‘holes’ bored into the sand dunes, the sand retaining an unnatural surface tension to keep the holes open. D-4XXX-19 continued moving past the holes, eventually reaching the shoreline of a large freshwater lake. As the subject drank from the body of water, she reported heard shrill, grating calls emanating from the dunes behind her. Less than a minute later, entities the subject claimed to resemble “huge lizards, walking on two legs (sic)” (subject’s full description was found to resemble crossbreed a Chlamydosaurus kingii, or frilled lizard, and a Basiliscus vittatus, or striped basilisk) began to erupt from the holes, pursuing her to the edge of the water. The subject quickly swam approximately 20 meters into the main body of the lake before being dragged underwater by a large tentacle that the subject claimed to be made "entirely of wax paper (sic)." The tentacle pulled the subject under water for nearly a minute before retreating to the depths of the lake. Moments later, D-4XXX-19 reported feeling a slight tugging sensation at her sternum before abruptly reappearing in SCP-4XXX’s testing chamber.

Note: Requesting permission to attempt another experiment with the same inorganic input to SCP-4XXX as this test. I want to see if it will generate the same conditions. -Researcher Evans
Extra Note: Granted. -Site Director ███████

Experiment Designation: E-4XXX-B

SCP-4XXX Input: Two (2) kilograms of fine sand, one (1) wax paper cup with 1.5 deciliters of freshwater, Subject D-4XXX-14.

Subject Description: D12-4XXX-14. A 20-year old African male from Mucubela, Mozambique. Conscripted via Protocol 12 on █/██/20██.

Testing Log: Subject D12-4XXX-14 was sanitized and introduced to the containment chamber by Researcher Evans. Subject approached SCP-4XXX with minimal resistance and placed his right hand on SCP-4XXX. Subject immediately disappeared, and a paper figure resembling D12-4XXX-14 appeared within the terrarium. After 15 minutes, subject was extracted along with nearly 4 deciliters of [REDACTED] coating the subject’s body, and over 15,000 kilograms of coagulated sand. Upon retrieval, subject reported being transported to a desert biome identical in description to that of Experiment E-4XXX-A. Subject walked for, again, five (5) minutes before reaching a large array of lizard burrows. As D12-4XXX-14 began to retreat, one of the lizard hybrids emerged from a hole and, after a short altercation, dragged the subject into the aforementioned burrow. Subject was a unable to see his surroundings, but described being "plastered to a wall of sand with [REDACTED]" and held there for a short time as the binding agent solidified. Several minutes later, the subject was extracted, reporting feeling the same tugging sensation as D-4XXX-19.

Experiment Designation: E-4XXX-C

SCP-4XXX Input: Three large, moss encrusted rocks, 1 kilogram of topsoil. Both samples gathered from onsite garden.

Subject Description: As per the request of Dr. Elms, SCP-3994-B-15 was transferred from Site 92 to Site 28 on 12/20/20██.

Testing Log: SCP-3994-B-15 sanitized and introduced to the testing chamber by Dr. █████████. Subject had been exposed to media depicting various humans touching and holding a non-anomalous replica of SCP-4XXX during its transport. SCP-3994-B-15 immediately rushed towards SCP-4XXX without prompting from Dr. █████████. Subject immediately demanifested and was extracted 45 minutes later, covered in a pulpy, viscous substance later determined to be the result of a failed attempt to construct a SCP-3994 ‘shell’ resembling an unknown instance of SCP-4XXX-3. Subject remained mute for 45 minutes before requesting to be returned to Site 62. When questioned further, the subject claimed it had travelled to ‘a waffle dimension (sic)’ where it met several ‘pastemen’. Subject could not elaborate further, and its testimony discarded as a fabrication by Doctors █████████ and Koffman. SCP-3994-B-15 was terminated onsite via incineration.

Experiment Designation: E-4XXX-D

SCP-4XXX Input: .5 kilograms of residue from SCP-106.
Subject Description: Mobile Task Force Operative Zeta-9-1. See agent profile for physical description and background.

Testing Log: SCP-4XXX transported to Site 19 for testing. SCP-106’s containment checked by multiple onsite engineers, and Recall Protocol ██-███-█ prepared. MTF Z9-1 enters SCP-4XXX at 18:46 and is extracted five (5) minutes later. During this time, SCP-106 is observed to be motionless, with no irregularities in movement or physical properties. Z9-1 reported entering a [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-4XXX and personnel assigned to it are to be moved permanently to Site 120 for further testing with other dimensional anomalies.

Experiment Designation: E-4XXX-E

SCP-4XXX Input: 1.5 kilograms of regolith gathered by SCPS [DATA EXPUNGED] during a supply trip to Site ***.

Subject Description: Subject D-4XXX-03. 29-year old Hispanic male conscripted from the Gib Lewis Unit in Woodville, Texas. Serving a triple life sentence for racketeering, drug possession and solicitation, and three (3) counts of first degree murder.

Testing Log: Subject D-4XXX-03 was sanitized and introduced into the containment area by Agent ██████. Subject resisted orders and was subdued by Agent ██████ and made to place his hand on SCP-4XXX. Subject immediately disappeared. After five (5) minutes, the paper figure representing D-4XXX-03 began sinking into the regolith, then disappeared two (2) minutes and 31 seconds later.

SCP-4XXX-3 Catalogue: N/A.

Note: Well, it doesn’t seem like SCP-4XXX manifested an atmosphere alike to that of our [REDACTED], despite the source of the regolith. The D-Class would have suffocated immediately if this was the case. Perhaps it always creates an at least habitable environment for the subject. -Researcher Evans

Extra Note: Guess we know what happens when something dies in there. -Junior Researcher ████

Experiment Designation: E-4XXX-F

SCP-4XXX Input: One (1) igneous rock from Mount St. Helens, SCP-████.

Subject Description: Subject D-4XXX-09. 30 year-old Caucasian male conscripted from ████████ Prison, on death row for five (5) counts of sexual homicide.

Testing Log: Subject D-4XXX-09 was sanitized and introduced into the containment area by Agents Marshall and Hall. Subject is compliant to orders and places right hand on SCP-4XXX. Subject's paper 'representation' within SCP-4XXX remained stagnant for 20 minutes and 31 seconds before spontaneously combusting. Subject is extracted by Agent Marshall, along with an estimated 80 liters of magma, 7,000 liters of magma, and two vaguely humanoid hostiles seemingly consisting entirely of magma. The events that followed are reported in Incident Log 4XXX-F.

+ Incident Log 4XXX-F

The following is a transcription of the events of 3/13/20██ during Incident 4XXX-F, based on CCTV footage, accounts from surviving personnel, and other various onsite sources.

13:20:40: Subject D-4XXX-09 and two instances of SCP-4XXX manifest in SCP-4XXX's containment chamber along with approximately 7,000 liters of magma. Agent Marshall is almost instantly killed via incineration.
13:20:45: Agent Hall fires his weapon twice at SCP-4XXX-3D-1 and once at SCP-4XXX-3D-2. Both shots aimed at the prior hit their target, but have no effect on the target. The third shot hits D-4XXX-09 in the the thigh. The monitor informs MTF Beta-7 'Maz Hatters' of the nature of the hostiles and exits the containment chamber.
13:21:10: Both instances of SCP-4XXX-3D breach containment, injuring Agent Hall grievously in the process. D-4XXX-09 appears to succumb to his injuries. MTF Epsilon-11 'Nine Tailed Fox' is notified of the breach.
13:30:15: MTF Beta-7 sets up five charges of C4 plastic explosive in the east wing of the facility, en route to the building's exit. Staff in the east wing are succesfully evacuated.
13:57:21: SCP-4XXX-3D-1 triggers the explosive charges and is blown apart into small pieces of nonanomalous igneous rock.¹ MTF Epsilon-11 enters the facility.
14:00:03: SCP-4XXX-3D-2 moves into the now unprotected west wing, killing two (2) researchers.
14:06:11: SCP-4XXX-3D-2 is neutralized by MTF Operative E11-3 with a █████ fragmentation grenade.
14:10:23: Site 120 confirmed to be secure.
