The main lobby of SCP-XXXX

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be simply be left as is, with bi-monthly visits from either researchers or mobile task force units, to make sure nothing has escaped SCP-XXXX. It is also recommended the back exit be used as to not draw any attention

Description: SCP-XXXX is a shopping mall located in █████ Michigan. The exterior appears to be that of a normal mall constructed during the late 80s, constructed out of white cinderblocks, with a purple painted stripe going horizontally down the middle, a blank sign stands above a pair of revolving doors, various torn posters a scattered around the wall. Upon entering, SCP-XXXX appears to be well kept, the floors appear to be freshly cleaned and waxed, curiously the skylight, which appears to be broken from the outside, is near perfect condition when inside, most music choices played on loudspeakers all date from 1985-1998, and all chain stores down logos prior to 2006. SCP-XXXX has 2 stories, each having 10 retail spaces, with booths occasionally appearing on either floor sporadically, sometimes overnight.
The most notable anomalous property is that SCP-XXXX acts as a biosphere for anomalous organisms, which notably reflect the service of their respective space. Some of the more notable organisms discovered include.

  • A hermit crab-like creature, which resides in takeout boxes, mainly found in fast-food restaurants.
  • A scorpion made of watch parts, which can be found in most electronics retailers.
  • Sushi that behaves like the respective sea creature each type of sushi is made of, exclusively found in the █████ Japanese restaurant.
  • Books that behave like birds, found in SCP-XXXX’s book store.
  • Living stuffed animals in the Toys R Us store

During nightfall, many of the smaller creatures will seek shelter as much larger, more aggressive creatures become active.

Addendum: Mobile Task Force Zeta-1 (Gemini) was sent to SCP-XXXX to help in monitoring and sample retrieval.

Gemini Log-1: This is Gemini Unus, we are directly outside the back door of SCP-XXXX, it’s about 3:30 am, August 5th,█████ why we agreed to do it this late I have no idea, but hey, it’s not my job to assign times for this.

Gemini Log-2: We have successfully made it in, we have our weapons ready if anything goes wrong, if we get ripped apart by living trench coats, that on our higher-ups.

Gemini Log-3: This is Gemini Tribus, we’ve been here for less than 10 minutes and I’ve already had to use the liquid nitrogen cannon on some poor nacho cheese… thing, we’ve taken on some weird shit in our time of the field, but I think this takes the cake. [snarling sounds are heard followed by the sound of a liquid nitrogen cannon being charged]

Gemini Log-4: So Unus and Duo have split up and I’m just kinda here on my own, as these missions always go, luckily this isn’t some massive pocket dimension… or is it, I’m not quite sure, one thing is for sure it’s definitely not that damn IKEA.

Gemini Log-5: It’s been about an hour, Unus and Duo still haven’t returned, and it’s suspiciously quiet, I should probably go looking for them.

Gemini Log-6: So I’m on the second floor now, still no signs of the others, this place is giving me the creeps. [heavy footsteps are heard as the feed cuts out for about 90 seconds.] the hell was that it looks like a mass of like, I don’t even know.

Gemini Log-7: So heat signatures were coming from this █████ ice cream shop, I really hope it’s the others, it’s weird, usually the tracker in Unus’ armor usually makes him easy to locate. [the sound of a door creaking is heard before the feed is cut out]

Gemini Log-8: Well, I think I found the others, it’s weird, their armor is coated in this stringy, sugary coating, almost like spider silk… wait. [loud hissing is heard as several liquid nitrogen blasts]

Gemini Log-9: This is Gemini Tribus, I have the others safe and sound as well as specimens of the sugary silk I found, as well, we’re heading down to the basement now, we’ve detected another heat reading.

Gemini Log-10: This is Gemini Unus, we have escaped the capture, we are now heading to the basement, a part of SCP-XXXX we have no idea existed before now, at the moment we’re looking for the entrance to the basement.

Gemini Log-11: This is Gemini Duo, we are currently trying to pull up a tile, in the food court, Unus and Tribus left me to fend off any aggressive creatures.

Gemini Log-12: We’ve entered the basement, it’s not exactly spiffy, closer to the exterior condition honestly, Tribus has the nitrogen blaster ready [Tribus proceeds to correct Duo] shut your yapper kid.

Gemini Log-13: [The log begins, on a shot of fleshy mass, with Gemini circling around it]

Unus: What the hell is this?

Tribus: Your guess is as good as mine… should I collect some samples?

Unus: Be careful kid, we don’t know what might happen if it's disturbed.

Tribus: Like that’s stopped me in the past.

Duo: Just get the sample so we can get out of this place!

Tribus: Okay Okay, don’t rush me!

[Tribus makes an incision into the mass with a scalpel, blood begins to ooze out of the incision]

Gemini Log-14: This is Gemini Tribus, and holy shit, the plot thickens, we found what appears to be some form of egg sac, now Unus suggested I leave it alone, but I'm sure the researchers back at the foundation will love this! [Tribus grabs the egg sac, looking directly at it, getting a detailed look at the embryo inside, seconds later the embryo looked directly at the camera, revealing a maw of sharp teeth] What the hell. [Tribus drops the egg as the feed cuts out]

Gemini Log-15: Gemini Tribus here, and fuck… I’m shaking so hard right now, I managed to get some samples, and video of that… thing, anyway we’re heading back to site-43, Mobile Task Force zeta-1, out.

Addendum-2: The samples collected by Gemini Tribus were analyzed, the fleshy substance seems to be very similar to that of human flesh, but has a notable waxy texture, the reason for the mass being in this previously unknown basement is currently under investigation
