Item #: SCP-4156

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: Due to the anomalous properties of SCP-4156, containment is physically impossible. Additionally, due to its seemingly inert and passive nature, the O5 Council has deemed it unnecessary to pursue possible containment procedures and methods. At the most recent revision of this document, ██/██/█████, the only groups capable of accessing and performing tests on SCP-4156 are Dr. Ulan, Dr. Rema, and their subsequent teams.

Description: SCP-4156 consists of two parts, referred to as SCP-4156-1 and SCP-4156-2. SCP-4156-1 is the name given the collection of surrounding terrain, flora, and apparent fauna (although attempting to discover physical existence of said fauna has proven negligible, despite the incessant sound of gryllus pennsylvanicus (field crickets)). Visually, SCP-4156-1 consists of a rocky path leading up to SCP-4156-2, grass resembling zoysia japonica (Korean lawngrass) surrounding the path, and a dense forest of trees resembling populus tremuloides (American aspen) surrounding the grass outside a radius of five (5) meters. After roughly seven (7) meters of trees, light begins to fade out through a gradient of roughly three (3) meters. Artificial light sources up to 10,000 lumens have been tested to brighten the surrounding area to no avail.

SCP-4156-2 is a —m x —m x —m house of an unknown origin. It is constructed of unknown materials that closely shares a resemblance to painted wood. Outward appearance suggests that SCP-4156-2 is a two-story, 19th-century Victorian home. During a Forced Entrance1 into SCP-4156, light exudes from every window and opening. However, during a Scheduled Entrance2, SCP-4156-2 contains decor, paintings, food items, beverage items, furniture, devices, machines, and any other item that one might find in a normal home. These items differentiate depending on the subject inside of SCP-4156 at any given moment.

SCP-4156, for all intents and purposes, exists outside of standard space-time. Through fairly extensive interviews and surveillance, it has been determined that SCP-4156 most likely exists to serve as a safe haven for any human being in dire need. In the event that a human being is experiencing a trauma, either through depression, anxiety, fear, etc., that is so intense that the body is unable to physically handle it, the subject encounters a Scheduled Entrance into SCP-4156.
