Item #: SCP-X
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: A chain link fence has been constructed around SCP-X, and signs are to be placed denoting the fenced area as under construction. Provisional-Site-39 has been constructed nearby SCP-X, and is to contain SCP-X-A. SCP-X-A is to be housed within a standard humanoid containment unit, and standard amenities are to be provided such as food, water, clothing, etc. During testing with SCP-X, personnel used in testing are not to be made aware of the object's anomalous properties, and Foundation personnel are to serve alcohol to the testing subject and the resulting SCP-X-1 instance.
Description: SCP-x is a building located in ███████, Wyoming that serves as a bar. Analysis of the building's structural composition reveals no detectable anomalies. SCP-x has been in business since 1856 and has gone through several reforms and owners since its creation. The current owner, Mr. Blackbox has been designated as SCP-x-A due to his relationship with SCP-x. The overall list of products offered at the establishment are non-anomalous as well, albeit of generally high quality. The use of forensic accounting on SCP-x reveals several logistical inconsistencies that suggest it is a much bigger business than it appears to be at first glance. This increased revenue is presumed to be a result of SCP-x's primary anomaly.
The interior of SCP-x functions as a temporal aperture into alternate realities. This aperture allows the passage of both inert and living matter and is active during all the working hours of the establishment. Of note is that to go through this aperture, a given human subject must enter SCP-x with the intention of engaging with it as if it was a non-anomalous bar. Upon doing so, an alternate version of the subject from a divergent timeline (hereafter collectively designated SCP-x-1) will manifest inside the bar within 30 minutes or less.
After this initial manifestation, the two versions of the subject may interact normally. In most cases, this leads to self-fulfilling completion of a stable time loop. Of note is that on rare occasions, interactions with instances of SCP-x-1 reveal information that can lead the baseline subject to significantly altering their supposed future self. As of the writing of this document, it is unknown what determines the result or how SCP-x generates its aperture.
Questioning SCP-x-A about this does not yield any considerable information. However, it has been observed that it displays a considerable amount of knowledge of the baseline reality's history and that of its divergent versions. All patrons are allowed to ask SCP-x-A about past, present and future events, but this is considered an additional service and paid for separately at high prices. Of note is that SCP-x-A cannot predict future events with 100% accuracy, only the most probable outcomes given current parameters. SCP-x-A offers no refunds for this service in the case of irreparable damage to its patrons physical, mental or social well-being.
Addendum: Interview Logs Of SCP-x-1 Instances By Agent █████
Foreword: This interview takes place upon initial discovery of SCP-x, and has been transcribed in an improvisational manner.
<Begin Log>
SCP-x-1: Look at you, █████. Fighting the monsters in the dark so the rest of us can live in the light. What a hero!
Agent █████: …Excuse me?
SCP-x-1: The barman told me about you. God, what a waste. You could have touched millions with your music, but you chose this. Is it worth it, working for the Foundation?
Agent █████: Listen, I don't know who you are, or how the barman found out these so called facts about me. But I suggest you stop bothering me, I'm just trying to relax.
SCP-x-1: I'm you, can't you see?
Agent █████: No, I can't. You look 20 years older than me. Why should I believe you?
SCP-x-1: Well, how about this for evidence?
(The instance of SCP-x-1 produces several pictures and documents of Agent █████'s family, including divorce papers.)
Agent █████: This doesn't prove anything. I'm not even divorced, and you could have forged all of this. Now leave me alone, or I'm calling the police.
SCP-x-1: You aren't divorced yet, and I can tell you why it is going to happen. Annie is noticing how your job is preventing you from spending time with family, and she's gonna start asking questions.
Agent █████: I gave you a chance to leave, buddy.
(Agent █████ attempts to call the police.)
SCP-x-1: Wait! Wait. Before you do that, just please look at this.
(SCP-x-1 reveals a scar on his right arm, which is identical to one that Agent █████ acquired during a containment breach of SCP-████.)
Agent █████: What the hell? How did you get that?
SCP-x-1: During the [REDACTED] incident at Site-██. Same as you. Remember how you were thinking about what gift to give Annie to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of the wedding, and suddenly one little mistake in the laboratory caused all those deaths? I remember. And let me tell you, there is more where that came from waiting for you in the future.
Agent █████: …OK, let's pretend that I believe you for a moment. Just why are you telling me this?
SCP-x-1: You think you're free, but the Foundation is holding you just as it holds the anomalies. You need to escape, destroy all traces of your existence and start over. It's the only way to prevent your family from falling apart, or worse yet, getting caught in the crossfire.
Agent █████: Answer me this. If you really are me from the future, wouldn't that mean if I follow your advice I'll just be completing a temporal loop?
SCP-x-1: Maybe, I don't know. I hate time travel, but I don't have any other options.
Agent █████: That's not true. There is always an option.
SCP-x-1: Well, I sure hope for our sake that you are right, because time is running out. Talk to the barman if you want more information about what might go on in your future. I'm leaving.
Agent █████: Wait! Just…just one more thing before you go. Are Annie and the kids alright despite the divorce?
SCP-x-1: I'm not sure. Annie doesn't let me see the kids since…ah, never mind. All I know is that I had nothing but the best intentions. Not my fault if that is not good enough for her.
Agent █████: You know what they say about good intentions, right?
(SCP-x-1 does not reply, and leaves the bar.)
SCP-x-A: Hey, if you're going to Hell, might as well have a few drinks on the way there!
