SCP-XXXX

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to remain in Vault-12, and should not be entered without approval from the current site director.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a wooden door. Upon stepping through SCP-XXXX, an individual becomes superposed between an unknown amount of realities. Said individual will remain in this state until someone checks which reality they are in, destroying the other realities in the process.

A better explanation of this anomalous effect can be seen in the "Schrodinger Cat" thought experiment. If a cat is in a box, an outside observer would be unable to know if said cat was dead or alive without opening the box. As such, until the box is opened the cat is both dead and alive. This special state of being collapses upon opening the box, wherein the cat is either dead or alive.

Similar to how the cat can be both dead and alive, subjects who enter SCP-XXXX exist in multiple realities at once. Furthermore, like said cat, a subject inside of SCP-XXXX will only exist in one of those realities when someone checks their location. This can occur by communicating with said individual, or by reading transcripts of past conversations.

Addendum 1:
The following is an experiment log recorded by Junior Researcher Grey. It should be noted that this experiment was originally supposed to be performed by Dr. ███████, while Ms. Grey observed and helped when necessary. However, due to a last minute familial issue, Dr. ███████ was unable to perform this experiment, and authorized Ms. Grey to perform it in his place.

Note from Dr. Grey:
I am so excited! My first SCP! I cant wait!

Date: September 8, 20██
Time: 6:38 PM

Procedure:
D-3903 was given a portable communication device, and was instructed to enter SCP-XXXX. Below is a recorded transcript of said device.

...

D-3903: I'm in a small stone room. There's no door, but there is a tiny barred window… Although when I look out the only thing I can see is an endless expanse of blue.

Dr. Grey: Try looking for a way out… A secret button or lever maybe.

D-3903: Will do.

Several minutes go by in relative silence

D-3903: So I've been thinking.

Dr. Grey: About what?

D-3903: Well, very clearly your Foundation locks up dangerous shit… I mean, why else would you have inmates being used as your guinea pigs.

Dr. Grey: Ugh, I hate that… That phrasing… Not everyone in the Foundation agree with the way we… 'treat' the D-Class.

D-3903: Ha, that's one way of putting it. But that's not what I'm curious about. What I want to know is this; why don't ya'll just destroy these things. I mean, it sounds like it would be a lot easier and less deadly.

Dr. Grey: Because we don't know what would happen. Hell, we aren't even sure how, or if, some of the things we contain can be killed.

D-3903: That's… disconcerting…

Dr. Grey: It is.

D-3903: But still, wouldn't it make the world a lot safer?

Dr. Grey: Look, I have only heard of a few termination attempts aimed at various anomalies, and rarely are they successful. But there was one, one anomaly that got killed. Now mind you, it wasn't by the Foundation, it was done by the GO-, I mean, by its previous owner. It was a relatively harmless anomaly. The only thing it did was teleport to nearby people who wanted to sit down. You know what happened when it was destroyed? It became a bag of killer mulch that killed people who made it feel threatened… It went from harmless to deadly because someone tried killing it.

Dr. Grey: At least when we keep these things alive we know what we're dealing with.

Dr. Grey: Anyway, have you found a way out yet?

D-3903: No. I've resorted to trying to remove the bars of the window.

Dr. Grey: How?

D-3903: I found a small rock in a corner… I think I may be able to use it as a very makeshift and shitty file.

Dr. Grey: Fair enough. Let me know if anything happens.

D-3903: Will do.

D-3903 has not made contact since then.

Ms. Grey was reprimanded for addressing herself as "Dr. Grey" instead of "Ms. Grey", as well as for giving D-Class personnel non-pertinent information. She was also reprimanded for addressing D-Class personnel by their name instead of their identification number.

Note from Dr. ███████:
Despite this, I still believe that Ms. Grey performed this experiment to an acceptable degree. It is important to remember that she was supposed to use this as an 'on hands' approach to learning and practicing these rules. Unfortunately, due to [DATA REDACTED] I couldn't be there to help achieve this goal. What is more is that Ms. Grey and I had been studying SCP-XXXX for a week. Due to this, I firmly believe that Ms. Grey should be excused from these violations.
