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. I AM YOUR, while Ms. Grey observed and helped when necessary. However, due to a last minute familial issue, Dr. LIFE, YOUR 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: EXISTENCE 8, 20AS
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.
Dr. Grey: D-3903, do you hear me? I repeat, D-3903, do you hear me?
D-3903: I read you loud and clear.
Dr. Grey: D-3903, can you tell me what your surroundings are like?
D-3903: I have a name ya know.
Dr. Grey: D-3903, please answer the question.
A sigh can be heard from D-3903
D-3903: Fine, I see a tree. I ginormous tree. It must be at least 30, maybe even 40 meters wide, and at least twice as tall as a skyscraper.
Dr. Grey: And around the tree?
D-3903: Nothing. Well, not nothing, just grass. All I can see is a grassy plain and a giant tree. I have no idea where the door went.
Dr. Grey: Would it be possible for you to climb this tree?
D-3903: Sure. Not to brag or anything, but I used to be pretty good at climbin' trees back in my day.
Dr. Grey: Uh huh, sure.
The next 21 minutes are filled with the sound of grunting from D-3903 as he presumably climbs the tree
D-3903: Okay, I have reached a branch.
Dr. Grey: That's excellent! Co-
D-3903: Give me a sec, my legs aren't what they used to be.
Around 7 minutes of heavy breathing and panting from D-3903 can be heard
D-3903: What were you saying?
Dr. Grey: Can you describe your surroundings?
D-3903: Sure, sure. I'm on a branch that is way bigger than me, and when I look up all I see are leaves and wood, and… That's odd… I didn't notice before, but nestled in the leaves of the branch I am on is a door. It looks similar to the door I just stepped through a few moments ago.
Dr. Grey: Can you please enter the door, and tell me what you see upon entering said door?
D-3903: Sure thing.
D-3903: I see a waterfall with a pond at its base. It is in a small forest clearing, and all around me are trees. I can't see where the waterfall is flowing from.
Dr. Grey: Would it be possible for you to get a closer look, try and figure out where the waterfall originates from?
D-3903: Sure.
The sound of rushing water can be heard as D-3903 gets closer to the waterfall
D-3903: That's odd, the lake is the source of the waterfall.
Dr. Grey: What do you mean?
D-3903: It appears like the water is flowing upwards, although I have no idea how it is doing so.
Dr. Grey: That's so cool! I love this type of shit! Are there any other anomalous properties that are observable?
D-3903: There are some red birds circling around the waterfall, although I can't get a good look at them. They are pretty high up.
Dr. Grey: Ah, that's a shame. I wonder what type of diet they have, are they herbivores or carnivores? Maybe even omnivores… God, I wonder…
D-3903: There is a rock by the pond. If you like I could sit down and wait here for a few hours. Ya know, see if any come down here to rest and what not.
Dr. Grey: Go ahead, D-3903.
The next 72 minutes are spent in relative silence with nothing to listen to but the waterfall
D-3903: So, I've got a question.
Dr. Grey: Ask away.
D-3903: How the hell did you start working at the Foundation? I mean, I imagine applying for a company that you don't even know exists must be pretty hard.
Dr. Grey: That's the funny thing. When I first joined the Foundation I had no idea what I was getting myself into. It was my senior year of college, and I was trying to get an internship. Eventually, I got one for a company called WE ARE THAT. It turns out WHICH YOU ARE was actually just a front company, being used to contain something…
D-3903: What?
Dr. Grey: I don't know. I don't have the security clearance needed to access the specific files related to NOT. YOUR GOD… Or at least, not the security clearance needed to get the juicy stuff.
D-3903: So what happened then? I mean, I doubt this expedition you have sent me on is just part of a front company.
Dr. Grey: Ha, yeah. It was funny, after a month or two of working at WITHOUT ME,, the manager must have thought I was special or something. He brought me to his office one morning, and introduced me to the Foundation and it's goals. It was then that my perception of reality forever changed.
D-3903: Talk about it, I mean, I'm still not sure where the fuck I am. The last normal thing I remember seeing was the door I walked through. Altho-
D-3903 suddenly stops talking, and a few seconds later YOU ARE NOTHING, AND I AM EVERYTHING, can be heard
D-3903: Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!
Dr. Grey: D-3903, what's going on?
The sound of flapping and growling an be heard, followed shortly by a splashing sound. A few seconds later the sound of coughing can be heard
D-3903: I got attacked by a bird. It landed a few meters in front of me. After a few seconds it started growling and tried to stab my eyes out. I managed to dive into the pond, only for the damn thing to dive in with me. I noticed that the door was located at the bottom of the pond, so I swam as fast as I could towards it.
Dr. Grey: I see. Where are you now?
D-3903: I don't know… But there's a bird… A giant bird, I -
Unknown Entity: Everywhere, and nowhere; the fabric that makes up your reality.
D-3903: Please don't hurt me! I never wanted to be here!
D-3903 starts sobbing
Dr. Grey: D-39, Derick, please calm down. There must-
Unknown Entity: You are not in control. You are what I say you are. You eat what I tell you to eat. You breath when I tell you to breath.
D-3903: I am so sorry! Please -
Dr. Grey: Derick, don't listen to it! It-
Unknown Entity: Why do you try and control that which you cannot? Why do you play God? Pretending like you care while you kill without mercy?
Dr. Grey: I, I don't… I don't kill… I protect…
D-3903: Please, please don't kill me! I just want to go home!
Unknown Entity: Do you just do whatever you feel like? Or are you curious? Curious as to how the world works? How it functions? What mysteries it has? How it works? How it will end?
A thunderous growling is heard, followed by panicked screams from D-3903. After about 3 minutes a snapping sound can be heard
Dr. Grey: Derick, are you alright? I repeat-
Unknown Entity: You repeat and repeat. The being you know as 'Derick' is gone; annihilated, destroyed. Only you, you who plays God; and you, you who thinks theirself as a God, remain. My time draws close. You all shall be punished for your greed, for your hubris, for your thirst for knowledge; for I must fix that which you have broke.
Communication abruptly cuts out.
Note: Several hours later Ms. Grey was found crying in a corner, and has since been assigned to see a weekly psychiatrist.

I am so excited! My first SCP! I cant wait!

Time: 2:00 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.

Dr. Grey: D-3903, can you tell me what your surroundings are like?
D-3903: I have a name ya know.
Dr. Grey: D-3903, please answer the question.
A sigh can be heard from D-3903
D-3903: Fine, I see a meadow. Or rather, I am in a meadow. All around me are grassy hills. I can't see too far ahead though, the grass is almost up to my neck.
Dr. Grey: Very well. Please pick a direction to explore, keeping track of where the door is.
D-3903: I can't. The door's gone.
Dr. Grey: Very well. I suppose just wander around, and let me know what you see then.
D-3903: Okay.
The sound of grass being pushed aside can be heard for approximately 32 minutes
Dr. Grey: D-3903, has the landscape changed at all?
D-3903: Ya know, I hate being called D-39-
Dr. Grey: D-3903, has the landscape changed at all?
D-3903: I can't tell. The grass is now taller than I am by about a meter or so.
Several more minutes are spent in relative silence
D-3903: I have a name.
Dr. Grey: Huh?
D-3903: I have a name, Derick.
Dr. Grey: Unfortunately it is Foundation protocol that I call you D-3903 instead of your real name.
D-3903: Well that's d-
D-3903 is abruptly cut off, and the sound of skin against dirt can be heard
Dr. Grey: D-3903, are you okay? What happened? I repeat, D-3903, are you okay?
D-3903: Yeah, I'm alright, if a bit bruised.
Dr. Grey: What happened?
D-3903: I fell down a giant pit. It is about twice as tall as I am. I didn't see it through the grass.
Dr. Grey: Do you see any way out?
D-3903: No, there doesn't appear to… Wait, what the hell?
Dr. Grey: D-3903, can you please elaborate?
D-3903: I found the door! It was just lying here, behind a few blades of grass!
Dr. Grey: D-3903, please proceed to enter the door. Upon entering it tell me what you see.
D-3903: Alright, I see a red carpet. There are stone walls that seem to go on forever, lit by torches placed periodically. Behind me is another stone wall, and above me a stone ceiling.
Dr.Grey: So you're in a hallway?
D-3903: Yep. I guess I should start moving forward, try and find a way outta here.
Several minutes of footsteps can be heard
D-3903: So why is it Foundation policy?
Dr.Grey: Huh?
D-3903: The name policy. Why do you have to call me 'D-3903'?
Dr.Grey: Oh. If I were to make a guess, I'd say its so that way we don't get too attached to the D-class.
D-3903: Because we will be leaving in a month, or because the experiments the Foundation performs are too dangerous?
Dr. Grey is silent for a few minutes
D-3903: Ms. Grey? Did you hear me?
Dr. Grey: Yeah… I heard you.
D-3903: Whats wrong? You didn't respond to my question.
Dr. Grey: I… I can't do this…
D-3903: Do what?
Dr. Grey: Do you know what D-class means?
D-3903: I assume it is some sort of security clearance code, or something.
Dr. Grey: No. It means disposable. The Foundation doesn't care if you die, just that you do what you're told.
D-3903: Ha, makes sense I suppose. I mean, they are offering death row and life sentence inmates an opportunity to be free after just a month. I guess-
Dr. Grey: No.
D-3903: What do-
Dr. Grey: That's not true. They aren't going to let you free in a month.
D-3903: But what about Fredrick? Hank? Jessica?
Dr. Grey: Dead. Terminated. Killed after a month.
D-3903: So that's what you meant by disposable… I found the door… I'll let you know what's on the other side.
D-3903: There is a mountain. I can't tell how high up it is… Behind me is nothing… Nothing but the sky. It doesn't matter though.
D-3903 starts laughing
D-3903: I mean, I'm gonna die no matter what… I may as well just save yourself some trouble.
Dr. Grey: D-39, Derick, please don't do anything drastic. I-
D-3903: Tell your boss that I'll see him in hell.
A crashing sound can be heard as D-3903 presumably throws the communication device away from himself
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.

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.
Dr. Grey: D-3903, do you hear me? I repeat, D-3903, do you hear me?
D-3903: I read you loud and clear.
Dr. Grey: D-3903, can you tell me what your surroundings are like?
D-3903: I have a name ya know.
Dr. Grey: D-3903, please answer the question.
A sigh can be heard from D-3903
D-3903: Fine, I see a meadow. Or rather, I am in a meadow. All around me are grassy hills. I can't see too far ahead though, the grass is almost up to my neck.
Dr. Grey: Very well. Please pick a direction to explore, keeping track of where the door is.
D-3903: I can't. The door's gone.
Dr. Grey: Very well. I suppose just wander around, and let me know what you see then.
D-3903: Okay.
The sound of grass being pushed aside can be heard for approximately 32 minutes
Dr. Grey: D-3903, has the landscape changed at all?
D-3903: Ya know, I hate being called D-39-
Dr. Grey: D-3903, has the landscape changed at all?
D-3903: I can't tell. The grass is now taller than I am by about a meter or so.
Several more minutes are spent in relative silence
D-3903: I have a name.
Dr. Grey: Huh?
D-3903: I have a name, Derick.
Dr. Grey: Unfortunately it is Foundation protocol that I call you D-3903 instead of your real name.
D-3903: Well that's d-
D-3903 is abruptly cut off, and the sound of skin against dirt can be heard
Dr. Grey: D-3903, are you okay? What happened? I repeat, D-3903, are you okay?
D-3903: Yeah, I'm alright, if a bit bruised.
Dr. Grey: What happened?
D-3903: I fell down a giant pit. It is about twice as tall as I am. I didn't see it through the grass.
Dr. Grey: Do you see any way out?
D-3903: No, there doesn't appear to… Wait, what the hell?
Dr. Grey: D-3903, can you please elaborate?
D-3903: I found the door! It was just lying here, behind a few blades of grass!
Dr. Grey: D-3903, please proceed to enter the door. Upon entering it tell me what you see.
D-3903: Alright, I see a red carpet. There are stone walls that seem to go on forever, lit by torches placed periodically. Behind me is another stone wall, and above me a stone ceiling.
Dr. Grey: So you're in a hallway?
D-3903: Yep. I guess I should start moving forward, try and find a way outta here.
Several minutes of footsteps can be heard
D-3903: So why is it Foundation policy?
Dr. Grey: Huh?
D-3903: The name policy. Why do you have to call me 'D-3903'?
Dr. Grey: Oh. If I were to make a guess, I'd say its so that way we don't get too attached to the D-class.
D-3903: Because we will be leaving in a month, or because the experiments the Foundation performs are too dangerous?
Dr. Grey is silent for a few minutes
D-3903: Ms. Grey? Did you hear me?
Dr. Grey: Yeah… I heard you.
D-3903: Whats wrong? You didn't respond to my question.
Dr. Grey: I… I can't do this…
D-3903: Do what?
Dr. Grey: Do you know what D-class means?
D-3903: I assume it is some sort of security clearance code, or something.
Dr. Grey: No. It means disposable. The Foundation doesn't care if you die, just that you do what you're told.
D-3903: Ha, makes sense I suppose. I mean, they are offering death row and life sentence inmates an opportunity to be free after just a month. I guess-
Dr. Grey: No.
D-3903: What do-
Dr. Grey: That's not true. They aren't going to let you free in a month.
D-3903: But what about Fredrick? Hank? Jessica?
Dr. Grey: Dead. Terminated. Killed after a month.
D-3903: So that's what you meant by disposable… I found the door… I'll let you know what's on the other side.
D-3903: There are several pyramids in the distance. The sky is purple and the sand is green.
Dr. Grey: I really am sorry about… Well, about everything.
D-3903: It doesn't matter. I was gonna die either way.
Dr. Grey: Look, I dislike the termination policy, but I have-
D-3903: Can you do a dead man a favor?
Dr. Grey sighs
Dr. Grey: Sure.
D-3903: Can you please listen to my story? You're the last person I have a chance to convince that I'm not crazy. My mom died when I was about 3 months old. She was killed, by my father. Drowned in the bathtub of their new home.
D-3903: I was then sent to live with my Grandmother. She died when I was 7. I don't remember much of the following few years. It's as if there is a cloth covering my memories. The first thing I can clearly recall was when I was 12, and I was exiting a doctor's office after getting vaccinated for the flu.
D-3903: From that 5 year time span I vaguely remember something happening at my old school. Some sort of animal that was captured by animal control. I recall that the creature killed multiple teachers and students. I have a vague remembrance of the feeling I felt when I was adopted. Other than those two events I don't remember much else.
D-3903: I eventually graduated high school, and got a job at a lumber mill. I managed to make a small living, eventually settling down with a gal named Rebecca. She was perfect. A few days before our marriage a creature broke into our house. It was a tall and humanoid, but instead of hands and feet it had hooves. It was so skinny that one could count how many bones the creature had, and was covered in black leathery skin. However, by far the creepiest thing about it was its face. It looked like a hybrid of a deer skull and a humans face, almost like the two were haphazardly melted together. It hurt to look directly at it.
D-3903: Despite not having hands, it somehow wielded a large black butchers knife. It must have been the length of my arm, but the only thing scarier than that creature was what it was doing. It had killed Rebecca, and was spreading her organs all over our house. I did the only thing I could think of. I grabbed my hunters gun and shot, but the bullets did nothing. If anything, they went through him. Eventually it left… although I don't know how. I blinked and it was gone. My neighbors must have heard the gunshots coming from my house and called the police.
D-3903: Everyone thinks that I killed her. Maybe their right, and I am just a madman locked in a padded cell somewhere. But I know what I saw that day, and I swear to you that it was real. I have spent every day of my life since then thinking, wondering, why did she have to die? Why couldn't it have been me?
D-3903: When I told the police what had happened, they obviously didn't believe me. I was arrested, and charged with a life sentence. Then, one day a man offered me a chance out. A chance at redemption. I took it. Now I can only hope that I see her again when I… Well, you know… Kick the bucket.
Dr. Grey: Deri- I mean, D-3903, for what it is worth, I believe your story.
D-3903: Thanks. It is nice to know that at least someone out there thinks I'm not crazy. I am almost at the base of a pyramid. I can see the outline of the door from here. I should be able to reach it in about 20 or 30 minutes.
Dr. Grey: When you enter it, be sure to tell me what you see.
D-3903: Sure thing, Doctor Grey, sure thing.
There is relative silence for the next 27 minutes
D-3903: Okay, I am at the door.
D-3903: I see a mountain... | I'm in a jungle...

D-3903: I see a mountain. It stretches as far as I can tell to the West and East, and its peak pierces the clouds. Behind me is nothing but the sky. I appear to be on some large sky island or something.
Dr. Grey: Do you think you could climb the mountain?
D-3903: Sure. It doesn't look too steep.
Several minutes of relative silence occurs
D-3903: Ya know, I've been thinking lately. If I am understanding this correctly, the Foundation's goal is to lock up weird shit.
Dr. Grey: What the Foundation does is not necessary information for you to know… But yes, that is a goal of the Foundation.
D-3903: Considering the fact that I am dying for the Foundation, I for one think that this information would be fairly necessary for me to know. I mean, I may as well at the very least know what cause I'm dying for.
Dr. Grey: Deri-, I mean, uhm, D-3903, please focus on your assignment.
D-3903: I am, I am. I'm about 30 meters up the damn thing. I was just a bit curious as to how you decide if something is weird.
Dr. Grey: You mean anomalous?
D-3903: Sure.
Dr. Grey: If it strays from what is considered normal, then it is an anomaly. Simple as that.
D-3903: But how do you decide what is normal? I mean, for the love of god, you guys aren't even locking up the goat guy!
Dr. Grey: What goat guy?
D-3903: A few days ago I saw a goat man outside my holding cell. He was fiddling around with the control panel. When I asked him what the hell was going on, he just ignored me!
Dr. Grey: Oh, you must be talking about Dr. Ram. He's a ram, not a goat.
D-3903: Doctor Ram?! Doctor?! How the hell is that not considered an anomaly?
Dr. Grey: How do you know that he isn't considered an anomaly?
D-3903: Cause he's not locked up!
Dr. Grey: We don't lock up everything. There are dozens of anomalies that we just leave alone. Have you ever been in a hallway that always feels colder than what the actual temperature is? That's an anomaly.
D-3903: But why the hell is an anomaly researching anomalies? I mean, aren't you at least a little bit concerned about scientific integrity?
Dr. Grey: Please, Dr. Ram doesn't even perform that many studies. His doctor title basically just exists so that way he can perform his job better.
D-3903: What the hell is his job then?
Dr. Grey: Risk assessment management. Besides, he wasn't always a ram. Apparently a security test went wrong one day, and poof. Dr. Ram was, well, a ram. A ram man, if you will.
D-3903: How often does he have to deal with ramen jokes?
Dr. Grey: Enough to swear off them.
D-3903: Okay, I have reached a ledge. There appears to be another door… I am assuming you want me to enter?
Dr. Grey: Yep.
D-3903: Alright, I see the containment cell... | I'm in a dark room...

It was so skinny that one could count how many bones the creature had, and was covered in black leathery skin. However, by far the creepiest thing about it was its face. It looked like a hybrid of a deer skull and a humans face, almost like the two were haphazardly melted together. It hurt to look directly at it.
D-3903: Despite not having hands, it somehow wielded a large black butchers knife. It must have been the length of my arm, but the only thing scarier than that creature was what it was doing. It had killed Rebecca, and was spreading her organs all over our house. I did the only thing I could think of. I grabbed my hunters gun and shot, but the bullets did nothing. If anything, they went through him. Eventually it left… although I don't know how. I blinked and it was gone. My neighbors must have heard the gunshots coming from my house and called the police.
D-3903: Everyone thinks that I killed her. Maybe their right, and I am just a madman locked in a padded cell somewhere. But I know what I saw that day, and I swear to you that it was real. I have spent every day of my life since then thinking, wondering, why did she have to die? Why couldn't it have been me?
D-3903: When I told the police what had happened, they obviously didn't believe me. I was arrested, and charged with a life sentence. Then, one day a man offered me a chance out. A chance at redemption. I took it. Now I can only hope that I see her again when I… Well, you know… Kick the bucket.
Dr. Grey: Deri- I mean, D-3903, for what it is worth, I believe your story.
D-3903: Thanks. It is nice to know that at least someone out there thinks I'm not crazy. I am almost at the base of a pyramid. I can see the outline of the door from here. I should be able to reach it in about 20 or 30 minutes.
Dr. Grey: When you enter it, be sure to tell me what you see.
D-3903: Sure thing, Doctor Grey, sure thing.
There is relative silence for the next 27 minutes
D-3903: Okay, I am at the door.
D-3903: I see a mountain. It stretches as far as I can tell to the West and East, and its peak pierces the clouds. Behind me is 00110100. I appear to be on some large sky island or something.
Dr. Grey: Do you think you could climb the mountain?
D-3903: Sure. It doesn't look too steep.
Several minutes of relative silence occurs
D-3903: Ya know, I've been thinking lately. If I am understanding this correctly, the Foundation's goal is to lock up weird shit.
Dr. Grey: What the Foundation does is not necessary information for you to know… But yes, that is a goal of the Foundation.
D-3903: Considering the fact that I am dying for the Foundation, I for one think that this information would be fairly necessary for me to know. I mean, I may as well at the very least know what cause I'm dying for.
Dr. Grey: Deri-, I mean, uhm, D-3903, please focus on your assignment.
D-3903: I am, I am. I'm about 30 meters up the damn thing. I was just a bit curious as to how you decide if something is weird.
Dr. Grey: You mean anomalous?
D-3903: Sure.
Dr. Grey: If it strays from what is considered normal, then it is an anomaly. Simple as that.
D-3903: But how do you decide what is normal? I mean, for the love of god, you guys aren't even locking up the goat guy!
Dr. Grey: What goat guy?
D-3903: A few days ago I saw a goat man outside my holding cell. He was fiddling around with the control panel. When I asked him what the hell was going on, he just ignored me!
Dr. Grey: Oh, you must be talking about Dr. Ram. He's a 00110100, not a goat.
D-3903: Doctor Ram?! Doctor?! How the hell is that not considered an anomaly?
Dr. Grey: How do you know that he isn't considered an anomaly?
D-3903: Cause he's not locked up!
Dr. Grey: We don't lock up everything. There are dozens of anomalies that we just leave alone. Have you ever been in a hallway that always feels colder than what the actual temperature is? That's an anomaly.
D-3903: But why the hell is an anomaly researching anomalies? I mean, aren't you at least a little bit concerned about scientific integrity?
Dr. Grey: Please, Dr. Ram doesn't even perform that many studies. His doctor title basically just exists so that way he can perform his job better.
D-3903: What the hell is his job then?
Dr. Grey: Risk assessment management. Besides, he wasn't always a ram. Apparently a security test went wrong one day, and poof. Dr. Ram was, well, a ram. A ram man, if you will.
D-3903: How often does he have to deal with ramen jokes?
Dr. Grey: Enough to swear off them.
D-3903: Okay, I have reached a ledge. There appears to be another door… I am assuming you want me to enter?
Dr. Grey: Yep.
D-3903: Alright, I see the containment cell, the one I was in before entering the door.
It is at this point that SCP-XXXX opens and an entity resembling D-3903 (hereby referred to as SCP-XXXX-1) emerges. SCP-XXXX proceeded to disappear afterwards. A pair of guards were sent to retrieve SCP-XXXX-1 for questioning. The following takes place before said guards arrive.
Ms. Grey: How does it feel? To be back?
D-3903: Great. I suppose you want to see me for questioning though.
Ms. Grey: Yep… Hey, can you do me a favor, and say something. I didn't see you use the communication device just now.
D-3903: Okay, how's this? I'm looking at the camera.
At this point the guards had entered SCP-XXXX's containment vault, and Ms. Grey triggered the alarm for a containment breach. See Incident Log XXXX-1 for more details.
The rest of the recovered data from Ms. Grey's communication device can be seen in Addendum 2.
Date: September 8, 20██
Time: 8:27 PM
The following occurred after an SCP-XXXX-1 instance emerged from SCP-XXXX.
The two guards sent to retrieve SCP-XXXX-1 (currently believed to be D-3903), were assaulted upon entering SCP-XXXX's containment vault. SCP-XXXX-1 managed to take them by surprise.
The resulting containment breach resulted in 9 casualties and 13 injuries, before SCP-XXXX-1 was successfully terminated by Agent Marco, who managed to ██████████. Following this incident, Junior Researcher Alice Grey has been missing, with the only thing left behind being the damaged communication device used to communicate with D-3903.
Addendum 2:
The following is a transcript of what data could be recovered from Junior Researcher Alice Grey's communication device. The unknown voice throughout the recording is believed to be ███████.
D-3903: Dr. Grey, is everything alright? I heard you running, what happened?
A Voice Resembling Ms. Grey: Don't worry, Derick… Everything's gonna be alright.
Audio cuts out for about 2 minutes
D-3903: She's not you. You need to… I can't escape. None of the doors will open. Why won't you respond?
A Voice Resembling Ms. Grey: I'll get the door for you, dearie. You know, I always liked the way you screamed.
Static drowns out all other audio for approximately 5 minutes
D-3903: Go away! You're not her… You're not her… You're not her…
An Unknown Voice: But of course I'm her. Don't you remember the beach? The ██████? You made me so happy… but, then, he came along.
The unknown voice giggles
An Unknown Voice: And swept me off my feet! It was beautiful… It was true love…
D-3903 can be heard sobbing
D-3903: ████████████ you. I saw it. Saw your guts all over the floor, your blood on the walls…
An Unknown Voice: And you wished it were you. You always did get a bit… jealous. You wanted him, you loved him. I know you wanted to feel the cold, sharp embrace of his knife… The sweet kiss of his blade on your arm as it worked itself to your throat, the smell of blood getting stronger… You lusted for it. Begged for it. Prayed for it!…
An Unknown Voice: And yet, he chose me.
D-3903: No no no no no, please stop.
Audio cuts out for a few seconds
An Unknown Voice: Can't handle the truth? Or are you just jealous that ███████ finally found someone worth loving?
D-3903 continues sobbing, his voice hoarse
D-3903: Please stop. I didn't want to ██████████
Laughing can be heard coming from the unknown voice
An Unknown Voice: It's a shame, really… I never got a chance to-
D-3903: NO! NO! NO!
The sound of D-3903 vomiting can be heard
An Unknown Voice: tell you about your daughter. I know you would have wanted to call her Annabelle… Say, did you know █████████.
D-3903: Please. Please just go away.
An Unknown Voice: Didn't you want to see me again? I thought you loved me? Or did you love that whore █████ more?
D-3903: You know that's not the truth.
An Unknown Voice: Just let me fulfill your prayers… Your wants… Your needs.
The rest is unintelligible.
fragment:NullnNow - A Superposed Door - 11
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.
Dr. Grey: D-3903, do you hear me? I repeat, D-3903, do you hear me?
D-3903: I read you loud and clear.
Dr. Grey: D-3903, can you tell me what your surroundings are like?
D-3903: I have a name ya know.
Dr. Grey: D-3903, please answer the question.
A sigh can be heard from D-3903
D-3903: Fine, I see a meadow. Or rather, I am in a meadow. All around me are grassy hills. I can't see too far ahead though, the grass is almost up to my neck.
Dr. Grey: Very well. Please pick a direction to explore, keeping track of where the door is.
D-3903: I can't. The door's gone.
Dr. Grey: Very well. I suppose just wander around, and let me know what you see then.
D-3903: Okay.
The sound of grass being pushed aside can be heard for approximately 32 minutes
Dr. Grey: D-3903, has the landscape changed at all?
D-3903: Ya know, I hate being called D-39-
Dr. Grey: D-3903, has the landscape changed at all?
D-3903: I can't tell. The grass is now taller than I am by about a meter or so.
Several more minutes are spent in relative silence
D-3903: I have a name.
Dr. Grey: Huh?
D-3903: I have a name, Derick.
Dr. Grey: Unfortunately it is Foundation protocol that I call you D-3903 instead of your real name.
D-3903: Well that's d-
D-3903 is abruptly cut off, and the sound of skin against dirt can be heard
Dr. Grey: D-3903, are you okay? What happened? I repeat, D-3903, are you okay?
D-3903: Yeah, I'm alright, if a bit bruised.
Dr. Grey: What happened?
D-3903: I fell down a giant pit. It is about twice as tall as I am. I didn't see it through the grass.
Dr. Grey: Do you see any way out?
D-3903: No, there doesn't appear to… Wait, what the hell?
Dr. Grey: D-3903, can you please elaborate?
D-3903: I found the door! It was just lying here, behind a few blades of grass!
Dr. Grey: D-3903, please proceed to enter the door. Upon entering it tell me what you see.
D-3903: Alright, I see a red carpet. There are stone walls that seem to go on forever, lit by torches placed periodically. Behind me is another stone wall, and above me a stone ceiling.
Dr. Grey: So you're in a hallway?
D-3903: Yep. I guess I should start moving forward, try and find a way outta here.
Several minutes of footsteps can be heard
D-3903: So why is it Foundation policy?
Dr. Grey: Huh?
D-3903: The name policy. Why do you have to call me 'D-3903'?
Dr. Grey: Oh. If I were to make a guess, I'd say its so that way we don't get too attached to the D-class.
D-3903: Because we will be leaving in a month, or because the experiments the Foundation performs are too dangerous?
Dr. Grey is silent for a few minutes
D-3903: Ms. Grey? Did you hear me?
Dr. Grey: Yeah… I heard you.
D-3903: Whats wrong? You didn't respond to my question.
Dr. Grey: I… I can't do this…
D-3903: Do what?
Dr. Grey: Do you know what D-class means?
D-3903: I assume it is some sort of security clearance code, or something.
Dr. Grey: No. It means disposable. The Foundation doesn't care if you die, just that you do what you're told.
D-3903: Ha, makes sense I suppose. I mean, they are offering death row and life sentence inmates an opportunity to be free after just a month. I guess-
Dr. Grey: No.
D-3903: What do-
Dr. Grey: That's not true. They aren't going to let you free in a month.
D-3903: But what about Fredrick? Hank? Jessica?
Dr. Grey: Dead. Terminated. Killed after a month.
D-3903: So that's what you meant by disposable… I found the door… I'll let you know what's on the other side.
D-3903: There are several pyramids in the distance. The sky is purple and the sand is green.
Dr. Grey: I really am sorry about… Well, about everything.
D-3903: It doesn't matter. I was gonna die either way.
Dr. Grey: Look, I dislike the termination policy, but I have-
D-3903: Can you do a dead man a favor?
Dr. Grey sighs
Dr. Grey: Sure.
D-3903: Can you please listen to my story? You're the last person I have a chance to convince that I'm not crazy. My mom died when I was about 3 months old. She was killed, by my father. Drowned in the bathtub of their new home.
D-3903: I was then sent to live with my Grandmother. She died when I was 7. I don't remember much of the following few years. It's as if there is a cloth covering my memories. The first thing I can clearly recall was when I was 12, and I was exiting a doctor's office after getting vaccinated for the flu.
D-3903: From that 5 year time span I vaguely remember something happening at my old school. Some sort of animal that was captured by animal control. I recall that the creature killed multiple teachers and students. I have a vague remembrance of the feeling I felt when I was adopted. Other than those two events I don't remember much else.
D-3903: I eventually graduated high school, and got a job at a lumber mill. I managed to make a small living, eventually settling down with a gal named Rebecca. She was perfect. A few days before our marriage a creature broke into our house. It was a tall and humanoid, but instead of hands and feet it had hooves. It was so skinny that one could count how many bones the creature had, and was covered in black leathery skin. However, by far the creepiest thing about it was its face. It looked like a hybrid of a deer skull and a humans face, almost like the two were haphazardly melted together. It hurt to look directly at it.

If anything, they went through him. Eventually it left… although I don't know how. I blinked and it was gone. My neighbors must have heard the gunshots coming from my house and called the police.

D-3903: Thanks. It is nice to know that at least someone out there thinks I'm not crazy. I am almost at the base of a pyramid. I can see the outline of the door from here. I should be able to reach it in about 20 or 30 minutes.
Dr. Grey: When you enter it, be sure to tell me what you see.
D-3903: Sure thing, Doctor Grey, sure thing.
There is relative silence for the next 27 minutes
D-3903: Okay, I am at the door.
D-3903: I see a mountain. It stretches as far as I can tell to the West and East, and its peak pierces the clouds. Behind me is nothing but the sky. I appear to be on some large sky island or something.
Dr. Grey: Do you think you could climb the mountain?
D-3903: Sure. It doesn't look too steep.
Several minutes of relative silence occurs
D-3903: Ya know, I've been thinking lately. If I am understanding this correctly, the Foundation's goal is to lock up weird shit.
Dr. Grey: What the Foundation does is not necessary information for you to know… But yes, that is a goal of the Foundation.
D-3903: Considering the fact that I am dying for the Foundation, I for one think that this information would be fairly necessary for me to know. I mean, I may as well at the very least know what cause I'm dying for.
Dr. Grey: Deri-, I mean, uhm, D-3903, please focus on your assignment.
D-3903: I am, I am. I'm about 30 meters up the damn thing. I was just a bit curious as to how you decide if something is weird.
Dr. Grey: You mean anomalous?
D-3903: Sure.
Dr. Grey: If it strays from what is considered normal, then it is an anomaly. Simple as that.
D-3903: But how do you decide what is normal? I mean, for the love of god, you guys aren't even locking up the goat guy!
Dr. Grey: What goat guy?
D-3903: A few days ago I saw a goat man outside my holding cell. He was fiddling around with the control panel. When I asked him what the hell was going on, he just ignored me!
Dr. Grey: Oh, you must be talking about Dr. Ram. He's a ram, not a goat.
D-3903: Doctor Ram?! Doctor?! How the hell is that not considered an anomaly?
Dr. Grey: How do you know that he isn't considered an anomaly?
D-3903: Cause he's not locked up!
Dr. Grey: We don't lock up everything. There are dozens of anomalies that we just leave alone. Have you ever been in a hallway that always feels colder than what the actual temperature is? That's an anomaly.
D-3903: But why the hell is an anomaly researching anomalies? I mean, aren't you at least a little bit concerned about scientific integrity?
Dr. Grey: Please, Dr. Ram doesn't even perform that many studies. His doctor title basically just exists so that way he can perform his job better.
D-3903: What the hell is his job then?
Dr. Grey: Risk assessment management. Besides, he wasn't always a ram. Apparently a security test went wrong one day, and poof. Dr. Ram was, well, a ram. A ram man, if you will.
D-3903: How often does he have to deal with ramen jokes?
Dr. Grey: Enough to swear off them.
D-3903: Okay, I have reached a ledge. There appears to be another door… I am assuming you want me to enter?
Dr. Grey: Yep.
D-3903: I'm in a jungle. It's hot and wet, and there's thick foliage everywhere.
Dr. Grey: Is there anything special about the flora?
D-3903: The plants? No, least not that I can tell.
Dr. Grey: Bummer… Feel free to explore at your own leisure.
D-3903: Gotcha.
Several minutes of flora being pushed aside and crushed can be heard
D-3903: I was curious about something.
Dr. Grey: What?
D-3903: Your past. I mean, what did you do before, well, before this?
Dr. Grey: Nothing special, or nearly as exciting. I was a student at ███████████████. I studied biology, working part time as a barista to make ends meet. Eventually I managed to snatch an internship at ██████████.
Dr. Grey: I had no idea what I was getting myself into. It turns out, ██████████ is just a front company for the Foundation. Apparently my manager saw something special in me, because one day he asked me to his office, and introduced me to the Foundation.
Dr. Grey: He offered me a job here, and I accepted it. I mean, how could I refuse a chance to study some of the things he described to me. Flora that forced others to fall asleep, and fauna that made you lose interest in stuff… It was a dream come true.
D-3903: What the-
The sound of static can be heard for just under a minute
Dr. Grey: Are you alright? What happened? Derick, can you hear me? I repeat, can you hear me?
A moan can be heard from D-3903
D-3903: Yeah, although I feel like I've been hit by a bus.
Dr. Grey: What happened?
D-3903: I… I'm not sure…
D-3903: I was walking when suddenly a deer appeared out of nowhere. But it wasn't right, it had 4 eyes, and its face… Ugh, its face…
D-3903: Its face was almost human like.
D-3903: I blinked… and now I'm here.
Dr. Grey: Where?
D-3903: A giant birds nest. I-
A screech that somewhat resembled that of an eagle mixed with a caribou and tiger can be heard. This is followed by panicked screams from D-3903, followed by static.
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.

D-3903: Fine, I see a tree. I ginormous tree. It must be at least 30, maybe even 40 meters wide, and at least twice as tall as a skyscraper.
Dr. Grey: And around the tree?
D-3903: Nothing. Well, not nothing, just grass. All I can see is a grassy plain and a giant tree. I have no idea where the door went.
Dr. Grey: Would it be possible for you to climb this tree?
D-3903: Sure. Not to brag or anything, but I used to be pretty good at climbin' trees back in my day.
Dr. Grey: Uh huh, sure.
The next 21 minutes are filled with the sound of grunting from D-3903 as he presumably climbs the tree
D-3903: Okay, I have reached a branch.
Dr. Grey: That's excellent! Co-
D-3903: Give me a sec, my legs aren't what they used to be.
Around 7 minutes of heavy breathing and panting from D-3903 can be heard
D-3903: What were you saying?
Dr. Grey: Can you describe your surroundings?
D-3903: Sure, sure. I'm on a branch that is way bigger than me, and when I look up all I see are leaves and wood, and… That's odd… I didn't notice before, but nestled in the leaves of the branch I am on is a door. It looks similar to the door I just stepped through a few moments ago.
Dr. Grey: Can you please enter the door, and tell me what you see upon entering said door?

D-3903: Ha, makes sense I suppose. I mean, they are offering death row and life sentence inmates an opportunity to be free after just a month. I guess-
Dr. Grey: No.
D-3903: What do-
Dr. Grey: That's not true. They aren't going to let you free in a month.
D-3903: But what about Fredrick? Hank? Jessica?
Dr. Grey: Dead. Terminated. Killed after a month.
D-3903: So that's what you meant by disposable… I found the door… I'll let you know what's on the other side.
D-3903: I'm back at the tree… But it's different. The leaves are orange and brown, and there are nooses hanging from the branches.
D-3903: Tell your boss that I'll see him in hell.
Dr. Grey: D-3903, please don't do anything extreme.
A thump can be heard as the communication device presumably hits the ground
Thirty minutes after contact was lost about 7 seconds of static can be heard, followed by the word 3.

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.
Dr. Grey: D-3903, do you hear me? I repeat, D-3903, do you hear me?
D-3903: I read you loud and clear.
Dr. Grey: D-3903, can you tell me what your surroundings are like?
D-3903: I have a name ya know.
Dr. Grey: D-3903, please answer the question.
A sigh can be heard from D-3903
D-3903: Fine, I see a meadow. Or rather, I am in a meadow. All around me are grassy hills. I can't see too far ahead though, the grass is almost up to my neck.
Dr. Grey: Very well. Please pick a direction to explore, keeping track of where the door is.
D-3903: I can't. The door's gone.
Dr. Grey: Very well. I suppose just wander around, and let me know what you see then.
D-3903: Okay.
The sound of grass being pushed aside can be heard for approximately 32 minutes
Dr. Grey: D-3903, has the landscape changed at all?
D-3903: Ya know, I hate being called D-39-
Dr. Grey: D-3903, has the landscape changed at all?
D-3903: I can't tell. The grass is now taller than I am by about a meter or so.
Several more minutes are spent in relative silence
D-3903: I have a name.
Dr. Grey: Huh?
D-3903: I have a name, Derick.
Dr. Grey: Unfortunately it is Foundation protocol that I call you D-3903 instead of your real name.
D-3903: Well that's d-
D-3903 is abruptly cut off, and the sound of skin against dirt can be heard
Dr. Grey: D-3903, are you okay? What happened? I repeat, D-3903, are you okay?
D-3903: Yeah, I'm alright, if a bit bruised.
Dr. Grey: What happened?
D-3903: I fell down a giant pit. It is about twice as tall as I am. I didn't see it through the grass.
Dr. Grey: Do you see any way out?
D-3903: No, there doesn't appear to… Wait, what the hell?
Dr. Grey: D-3903, can you please elaborate?
D-3903: I found the door! It was just lying here, behind a few blades of grass!
Dr. Grey: D-3903, please proceed to enter the door. Upon entering it tell me what you see.
D-3903: Alright, I'm in a cave. There are glowing moss patches scattered about.
Dr. Grey: What color are they?
D-3903: Well, most of them are a light blue or aquamarine color, but some are occasionally orange.
Dr. Grey: Can you get a closer look at this moss, and describe its physical attributes?
D-3903: Sure, the blue moss looks like a fuzzy moss balls, but they are clumped together.
Dr. Grey: And the orange moss?
D-3903: It's not moss. Now that I am up close, it appears to be a flower. It has 5 violet petals.
Dr. Grey: That sounds so-
A weird sound interrupts Dr. Grey
Dr. Grey: What was that?
D-3903: What was what?
Dr. Grey: That noise?
D-3903: I didn't hear anything, well except for the echo of my voice, steps, and the occasional drip of water in the distance.
Dr. Grey: That's so odd… I could've sworn I heard something.
D-3903: What did it sound like?
Dr. Grey: I'm not sure… It was… Indescribable…
Several minutes of relative silence occur
D-3903: What did you say?
Dr. Grey: Huh? I didn't say anything.
D-3903: There was what sounded like a females voice.
D-3903: It sounded like ███████ was being whispered in my ear.
D-3903: I found the door… Do you want me to enter it? This place is starting to creep me out.
Dr. Grey: I agree… Enter the door before things get creepier.
D-3903: You don't need to tell me twice.
D-3903: Alright, I'm in an icy clearing... | I see ███████...

SCP-XXXX-1:
SCP-XXXX-1 instances are human eyes that have a radius of approximately 0.5 meters. Said eyes contain white feathered wings that enable them to fly. Despite not having a mouth, SCP-XXXX-1 instances contain the ability to speak to others via a currently unknown mean.

Dr. Grey: D-3903, please answer the question.
A sigh can be heard from D-3903
D-3903: Fine, I see a tree. I ginormous tree. It must be at least 30, maybe even 40 meters wide, and at least twice as tall as a skyscraper.
Dr. Grey: And around the tree?
D-3903: Nothing. Well, not nothing, just grass. All I can see is a grassy plain and a giant tree. I have no idea where the door went.
Dr. Grey: Would it be possible for you to climb this tree?
D-3903: Sure. Not to brag or anything, but I used to be pretty good at climbin' trees back in my day.
Dr. Grey: Uh huh, sure.
The next 21 minutes are filled with the sound of grunting from D-3903 as he presumably climbs the tree
D-3903: Okay, I have reached a branch.
Dr. Grey: That's excellent! Co-
D-3903: Give me a sec, my legs aren't what they used to be.
Around 7 minutes of heavy breathing and panting from D-3903 can be heard
D-3903: What were you saying?
Dr. Grey: Can you describe your surroundings?
D-3903: Sure, sure. I'm on a branch that is way bigger than me, and when I look up all I see are leaves and wood, and… That's odd… I didn't notice before, but nestled in the leaves of the branch I am on is a door. It looks similar to the door I just stepped through a few moments ago.
Dr. Grey: Can you please enter the door, and tell me what you see upon entering said door?
D-3903: Sure thing.
D-3903: I see a red carpet. There are stone walls that seem to go on forever, lit by torches placed periodically. Behind me is another stone wall, and above me a stone ceiling. Axolotl is written on the wall.
Dr. Grey: So you're in a hallway?
D-3903: Yep. I guess I should start moving forward, try and find a way outta here.
Several minutes of footsteps can be heard
D-3903: So why do you call me 'D-3903'?
Dr. Grey: Huh?
D-3903: Why don't you call me by my name?
Dr. Grey: Oh. It's Foundation policy.
D-3903: Yeah, but why is it Foundation policy?
Dr. Grey: I'm not sure. If I were to make a guess, I'd say its so that way we don't get to attached to the D-class.
D-3903: Because we will be leaving in a month, or because the experiments the Foundation performs are too dangerous?
Dr. Grey is silent for a few minutes
D-3903: Ms. Grey? Did you hear me?
Dr. Grey: Yeah… I heard you.
D-3903: Whats wrong? You didn't respond to my question.
Dr. Grey: I… I can't do this…
D-3903: Do what?
Dr. Grey: Do you know what D-class means?
D-3903: I assume it is some sort of security clearance code, or something.
Dr. Grey: No. It means disposable. The Foundation doesn't care if you die, just that you do what you're told.
D-3903: Ha, makes sense I suppose. I mean, they are offering death row and life sentence inmates an opportunity to be free after just a month. I guess-

Dr. Grey: Dead. Terminated. Killed after a month.
D-3903: So that's what you meant by disposable… I found the door… I'll let you know what's on the other side.
D-3903: I'm in a city, although there doesn't appear to be any people here. There are also empty cars strewn about this place.
Dr. Grey: Can enter one of the buildings?
D-3903: Sure.
D-3903 failed to enter several buildings on account of a locked front door
D-3903: Alright, last try… I'm in.
Dr. Grey: Great! What is its interior like?
D-3903: This place looks like it was a shoe store, but none of the shoes on display look to be for humans. The shoes all appear to be in a weird Y shape.
Dr. Grey: Are there any other floors?
D-3903: Yeah, I see a staircase in the corner. Give me a sec, I'll let you know when I'm on the next floor.
The sound of steps in a metal hallway can be heard for several minutes
D-3903: Alright, I'm on… floor 42?! How?! I only walked a few flight of steps.
Dr. Grey: What is this floor like?
A door opening can be heard, followed by a thud and panicked scream from D-3903
D-3903: Holy shit, this place is a fucking deathtrap!
Dr. Grey: Are you okay? What happened?
D-3903: Turns out that floor 42 is the roof… and that the roof is just a wedge. I managed to clamor back into the stairwell before falling out.
Dr. Grey: Jesus… That sounds awful.
D-3903: The fuck… There's a floating eye- ack!
The sound of a body falling down a flight of stairs can be heard, followed by a deep voice (hereby referred to as SCP-XXXX-1)
Dr. Grey: Are you okay?
SCP-XXXX-1: You do not belong here. Your kind is tainted with filth.
Dr. Grey: What do you mean?
SCP-XXXX-1: You think that your traps me, but it doesn't. The door traps you, and you gave me the key. I command you to open the door, to let me clean your world.
Communication is lost at this point. A few moments later Ms. Grey could be seen entering SCP-XXXX after allowing 12 SCP-XXXX-1 instances free. These instances proceeded to kill ██ personnel, and indirectly caused the breach of SCP-████, ████, ████, and ████. As of yet, none of the 12 SCP-XXXX-1 instances have been contained.

D-3903: There are several pyramids in the distance. The sky is purple and the sand is green.
Dr. Grey: I really am sorry about… Well, about everything.
D-3903: It doesn't matter. I was gonna die either way.
Dr. Grey: Look, I dislike the termination policy, but I have-
D-3903: Can you do a dead man a favor?
Dr. Grey sighs
Dr. Grey: Sure.
D-3903: Can you please listen to my story? You're the last person I have a chance to convince that I'm not crazy. My mom died when I was about 3 months old. She was killed, by my father. Drowned in the bathtub of their new home.
D-3903: I was then sent to live with my Grandmother. She died when I was 7. I don't remember much of the following few years. It's as if there is a cloth covering my memories. The first thing I can clearly recall was when I was 12, and I was exiting a doctor's office after getting vaccinated for the flu.
D-3903: From that 5 year time span I vaguely remember something happening at my old school. Some sort of animal that was captured by animal control. I recall that the creature killed multiple teachers and students. I have a vague remembrance of the feeling I felt when I was adopted. Other than those two events I don't remember much else.
D-3903: I eventually graduated high school, and got a job at a lumber mill. I managed to make a small living, eventually settling down with a gal named Rebecca. She was perfect. A few days before our marriage a creature broke into our house. It was a tall and humanoid, but instead of hands and feet it had hooves. It was so skinny that one could count how many bones the creature had, and was covered in black leathery skin. However, by far the creepiest thing about it was its face. It looked like a hybrid of a deer skull and a humans face, almost like the two were haphazardly melted together. It hurt to look directly at it.
D-3903: Despite not having hands, it somehow wielded a large black butchers knife. It must have been the length of my arm, but the only thing scarier than that creature was what it was doing. It had killed Rebecca, and was spreading her organs all over our house. I did the only thing I could think of. I grabbed my hunters gun and shot, but the bullets did nothing. If anything, they went through him. Eventually it left… although I don't know how. I blinked and it was gone. My neighbors must have heard the gunshots coming from my house and called the police.
D-3903: Everyone thinks that I killed her. Maybe their right, and I am just a madman locked in a padded cell somewhere. But I know what I saw that day, and I swear to you that it was real. I have spent every day of my life since then thinking, wondering, why did she have to die? Why couldn't it have been me?
D-3903: When I told the police what had happened, they obviously didn't believe me. I was arrested, and charged with a life sentence. Then, one day a man offered me a chance out. A chance at redemption. I took it. Now I can only hope that I see her again when I… Well, you know… Kick the bucket.
Dr. Grey: Deri- I mean, D-3903, for what it is worth, I believe your story.
D-3903: Thanks. It is nice to know that at least someone out there thinks I'm not crazy. I am almost at the base of a pyramid. I can see the outline of the door from here. I should be able to reach it in about 20 or 30 minutes.
Dr. Grey: When you enter it, be sure to tell me what you see.
D-3903: Sure thing, Doctor Grey, sure thing.
There is relative silence for the next 27 minutes
D-3903: Okay, I am at the door.
D-3903: I see a mountain. It stretches as far as I can tell to the West and East, and its peak pierces the clouds. Behind me is nothing but the sky. I appear to be on some large sky island or something.
Dr. Grey: Do you think you could climb the mountain?
D-3903: Sure. It doesn't look too steep.
Several minutes of relative silence occurs
D-3903: Ya know, I've been thinking lately. If I am understanding this correctly, the Foundation's goal is to lock up weird shit.
Dr. Grey: What the Foundation does is not necessary information for you to know… But yes, that is a goal of the Foundation.
D-3903: Considering the fact that I am dying for the Foundation, I for one think that this information would be fairly necessary for me to know. I mean, I may as well at the very least know what cause I'm dying for.
Dr. Grey: Deri-, I mean, uhm, D-3903, please focus on your assignment.
D-3903: I am, I am. I'm about 30 meters up the damn thing. I was just a bit curious as to how you decide if something is weird.
Dr. Grey: You mean anomalous?
D-3903: Sure.
Dr. Grey: If it strays from what is considered normal, then it is an anomaly. Simple as that.
D-3903: But how do you decide what is normal? I mean, for the love of god, you guys aren't even locking up the goat guy!
Dr. Grey: What goat guy?
D-3903: A few days ago I saw a goat man outside my holding cell. He was fiddling around with the control panel. When I asked him what the hell was going on, he just ignored me!
Dr. Grey: Oh, you must be talking about Dr. Ram. He's a ram, not a goat.
D-3903: Doctor Ram?! Doctor?! How the hell is that not considered an anomaly?
Dr. Grey: How do you know that he isn't considered an anomaly?
D-3903: Cause he's not locked up!
Dr. Grey: We don't lock up everything. There are dozens of anomalies that we just leave alone. Have you ever been in a hallway that always feels colder than what the actual temperature is? That's an anomaly.
D-3903: But why the hell is an anomaly researching anomalies? I mean, aren't you at least a little bit concerned about scientific integrity?
Dr. Grey: Please, Dr. Ram doesn't even perform that many studies. His doctor title basically just exists so that way he can perform his job better.
D-3903: What the hell is his job then?
Dr. Grey: Risk assessment management. Besides, he wasn't always a ram. Apparently a security test went wrong one day, and poof. Dr. Ram was, well, a ram. A ram man, if you will.
D-3903: How often does he have to deal with ramen jokes?
Dr. Grey: Enough to swear off them.
D-3903: Okay, I have reached a ledge. There appears to be another door… I am assuming you want me to enter?
Dr. Grey: Yep.
D-3903: I'm in a dark room, but I don't think I'm alone.
Dr. Grey: What do you mean?
D-3903: I can see 7 shackles on the wall, but 6 of them seem to be broken.
Unknown Voice: Why do you enter my domain?
The sound of chains moving can be heard
D-3903: What are you?
Dr. Grey: What's happening?
Unknown Voice: Only one shackle remains… A shackle that has been weakening for ages…
D-3903: Please don't hurt me!
Unknown Voice: You are just a peon… A microscopic spec in the universe… Which is why it is all the more impressive that you're here…
D-3903: I don't want to harm you, once I find a door I can get out of here and never bother you again.
The unknown voice can be heard chuckling
Unknown Voice: The door is gone… Destroyed… There is only one way out of here, and that is through me…
Unknown Voice: Every time the door is opened I can feel it… A little bit more slack in my chain… A glimpse of light… Remove my chain and I shall remove yours…
D-3903: What do you mean by my chains?
Unknown Voice: You are chained with grief… with guilt… with life…
Dr. Grey: Ask it what it would do if freed.
Unknown Voice: I would live… I would breath fresh air… Look at a clear sky…
D-3903: Why the hell are you shackled? I mean, that doesn't sound like a diabolical plan or something.
Unknown Voice: People fear that which they don't understand… That which has control over them… They lock them up… Experiment with them… Kill them…
Dr. Grey: Are you saying the Foundation did this?
The unknown voice once again chuckles
Unknown Voice: Maybe… Although there really wasn't a Foundation yet… Or at least, not as you know it…
Dr. Grey: D-3903, whatever you do, don-
Contact between Dr. Grey and D-3903 is lost. Following this encounter, SCP-XXXX should be monitored regularly for any unusual activity. Research into this unknown voice is ongoing.

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.
Dr. Grey: D-3903, do you hear me? I repeat, D-3903, do you hear me?
D-3903: I read you loud and clear.
Dr. Grey: D-3903, can you tell me what your surroundings are like?
D-3903: I have a name ya know.
Dr. Grey: D-3903, please answer the question.
A sigh can be heard from D-3903
D-3903: Fine, I see a meadow. Or rather, I am in a meadow. All around me are grassy hills. I can't see too far ahead though, the grass is almost up to my neck.
Dr. Grey: Very well. Please pick a direction to explore, keeping track of where the door is.
D-3903: I can't. The door's gone.
Dr. Grey: Very well. I suppose just wander around, and let me know what you see then.
D-3903: Okay.
The sound of grass being pushed aside can be heard for approximately 32 minutes
Dr. Grey: D-3903, has the landscape changed at all?
D-3903: Ya know, I hate being called D-39-
Dr. Grey: D-3903, has the landscape changed at all?
D-3903: I can't tell. The grass is now taller than I am by about a meter or so.
Several more minutes are spent in relative silence
D-3903: I have a name.
Dr. Grey: Huh?
D-3903: I have a name, Derick.
Dr. Grey: Unfortunately it is Foundation protocol that I call you D-3903 instead of your real name.
D-3903: Well that's d-
D-3903 is abruptly cut off, and the sound of skin against dirt can be heard
Dr. Grey: D-3903, are you okay? What happened? I repeat, D-3903, are you okay?
D-3903: Yeah, I'm alright, if a bit bruised.
Dr. Grey: What happened?
D-3903: I fell down a giant pit. It is about twice as tall as I am. I didn't see it through the grass.
Dr. Grey: Do you see any way out?
D-3903: No, there doesn't appear to… Wait, what the hell?
Dr. Grey: D-3903, can you please elaborate?
D-3903: I found the door! It was just lying here, behind a few blades of grass!
Dr. Grey: D-3903, please proceed to enter the door. Upon entering it tell me what you see.
D-3903: Alright, I'm in a cave. There are glowing moss patches scattered about.
Dr. Grey: What color are they?
D-3903: Well, most of them are a light blue or aquamarine color, but some are occasionally orange.
Dr. Grey: Can you get a closer look at this moss, and describe its physical attributes?
D-3903: Sure, the blue moss looks like a fuzzy moss balls, but they are clumped together.
Dr. Grey: And the orange moss?
D-3903: It's not moss. Now that I am up close, it appears to be a flower. It has 5 violet petals.
Dr. Grey: That sounds so-
A weird sound interrupts Dr. Grey
Dr. Grey: What was that?
D-3903: What was what?
Dr. Grey: That noise?
D-3903: I didn't hear anything, well except for the echo of my voice, steps, and the occasional drip of water in the distance.
Dr. Grey: That's so odd… I could've sworn I heard something.
D-3903: What did it sound like?
Dr. Grey: I'm not sure… It was… Indescribable…
Several minutes of relative silence occur
D-3903: What did you say?
Dr. Grey: Huh? I didn't say anything.
D-3903: There was what sounded like a females voice.
D-3903: It sounded like ███████ was being whispered in my ear.
D-3903: I found the door… Do you want me to enter it? This place is starting to creep me out.
Dr. Grey: I agree… Enter the door before things get creepier.
D-3903: You don't need to tell me twice.
D-3903: I see…
D-3903: Alright, I see... | Alright, I see…
D-3903: Alright, I'm in an icy clearing. All around me are barren trees, surrounding what appears to be a frozen waterfall.
A wolfs howl can be heard
Dr. Grey: What was that?
D-3903: I'm not sure… What the?
D-3903: A huge wolf just appeared out of nowhere… It's in the center of the lake…
A strong wind drowns out the rest of the recording. This wind lasted for approximately 3 hours before subsiding. Attempts at communicating with D-3903 after this have proved impossible.

Dr. Grey: D-3903, please answer the question.
A sigh can be heard from D-3903
D-3903: Fine, I see a tree. I ginormous tree. It must be at least 30, maybe even 40 meters wide, and at least twice as tall as a skyscraper.
Dr. Grey: And around the tree?
D-3903: Nothing. Well, not nothing, just grass. All I can see is a grassy plain and a giant tree. I have no idea where the door went.
Dr. Grey: Would it be possible for you to climb this tree?
D-3903: Sure. Not to brag or anything, but I used to be pretty good at climbin' trees back in my day.
Dr. Grey: Uh huh, sure.
The next 21 minutes are filled with the sound of grunting from D-3903 as he presumably climbs the tree
D-3903: Okay, I have reached a branch.
Dr. Grey: That's excellent! Co-
D-3903: Give me a sec, my legs aren't what they used to be.
Around 7 minutes of heavy breathing and panting from D-3903 can be heard
D-3903: What were you saying?
Dr. Grey: Can you describe your surroundings?
D-3903: Sure, sure. I'm on a branch that is way bigger than me, and when I look up all I see are leaves and wood, and… That's odd… I didn't notice before, but nestled in the leaves of the branch I am on is a door. It looks similar to the door I just stepped through a few moments ago.
Dr. Grey: Can you please enter the door, and tell me what you see upon entering said door?
D-3903: Sure thing.
D-3903: I see a waterfall with a pond at its base. It is in a small forest clearing, and all around me are trees. I can't see where the waterfall is flowing from.
Dr. Grey: Would it be possible for you to get a closer look, try and figure out where the waterfall originates from?
D-3903: Sure.
The sound of rushing water can be heard as D-3903 gets closer to the waterfall
D-3903: That's odd, the lake is the source of the waterfall.
Dr. Grey: What do you mean?
D-3903: It appears like the water is flowing upwards, although I have no idea how it is doing so.
Dr. Grey: That's so cool! I love this type of shit! Are there any other anomalous properties that are observable?
D-3903: There are some red birds circling around the waterfall, although I can't get a good look at them. They are pretty high up.
Dr. Grey: Ah, that's a shame. I wonder what type of diet they have, are they herbivores or carnivores? Maybe even omnivores… God, I wonder…
D-3903: There is a rock by the pond. If you like I could sit down and wait here for a few hours. Ya know, see if any come down here to rest and what not.
Dr. Grey: Go ahead, D-3903.
The next 72 minutes are spent in relative silence with nothing to listen to but the waterfall
D-3903: So, I've got a question.
Dr. Grey: Ask away.
D-3903: How the hell did you start working at the Foundation? I mean, I imagine applying for a company that you don't even know exists must be pretty hard.
Dr. Grey: That's the funny thing. When I first joined the Foundation I had no idea what I was getting myself into. It was my senior year of college, and I was trying to get an internship. Eventually, I got one for a company called ██████████. It turns out ██████████ was actually just a front company, being used to contain something…
D-3903: What?
Dr. Grey: I don't know. I don't have the security clearance needed to access the specific files related to ██████████… Or at least, not the security clearance needed to get the juicy stuff.
D-3903: So what happened then? I mean, I doubt this expedition you have sent me on is just part of a front company.
Dr. Grey: Ha, yeah. It was funny, after a month or two of working at ██████████, the manager must have thought I was special or something. He brought me to his office one morning, and introduced me to the Foundation and it's goals. It was then that my perception of reality forever changed.
D-3903: Talk about it, I mean, I'm still not sure where the fuck I am. The last normal thing I remember seeing was the door I walked through. Altho-
D-3903 suddenly stops talking, and a few seconds later a loud growling sound can be heard
D-3903: Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!
Dr. Grey: D-3903, what's going on?
The sound of flapping and growling can be heard, followed shortly by a splashing sound. A few seconds later the sound of coughing can be heard
D-3903: I got attacked by a bird. It landed a few meters in front of me. After a few seconds it started growling and tried to stab my eyes out. I managed to dive into the pond, only for the damn thing to dive in with me. I noticed that the door was located at the bottom of the pond, so I swam as fast as I could towards it.
Dr. Grey: I see. Where are you now?
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.

Object Class: Uncontainable
Description: SCP-XXXX does not exist, at least not as described in its file. SCP-████ is, or rather was, SCP-XXXX after we 'contained' it. We used to think that SCP-XXXX was a door that superposed whoever entered it with other realities. It was believed that said individual would remain in this state until someone read a recorded log of their experiences within SCP-XXXX. This resulted in an event referred to as an "Open Box Event".
An Open Box Event is characterized as a change in our reality that results from someone reading the SCP-XXXX file. We only know that this happens due to very short periods of a universal drop in hume levels that occur while reading the SCP-XXXX file. The only recorded Open Box Event is the SCP-XXXX file. We don't know how we obtained SCP-XXXX, nor its file.
A list of theoretically possible Open Box Events that would result in major changes can be seen in Addendum 1.
Due to the risk of some of these Open Box Events, we decided to make a deal with SCP-XXXX. This deal managed to neutralize SCP-XXXX by reducing the amount of possible Open Box Events to those seen in Addendum 2.
However, by removing the other possible Open Box Events we broke the chains that contained SCP-████. SCP-████ is an entity that can control which state a superposed particle collapses into, effectively making it a reality shaper.
The difference between reality benders and a reality shaper is as follows:
The reality before a reality bender changes something still exists, it just branches off into a different reality.
The reality before a reality shaper changes something ceases to exist. It instead has always been the reality created by a reality shaper. Due to this, our reality conforms to their anomalous property, effectively making them un-anomalous.
SCP-████ used to be contained by SCP-XXXX. SCP-████ was given an endless amount of realities to play in. We destroyed these realities, not wanting them to mess with ours. As a result we turned our reality into SCP-████'s playground.
Addendum 1
Below is a list of Open Box Events that were theoretically possible before the deal was made.
- 3,512 unique instances of a "Broken Masquerade Event"
- 1,201 of which resulting in an XK-Class End-of-the-World Scenario
- 470 of which resulting in an LK-Class Species Transmutation Scenario
- 73 of which resulting in an SK-Class Domination Shift Scenario

- 580 unique instances of an EK-Class End-of-Human-Consciousness Scenario
- 381 unique instances of an SK-Class Dominance Shift Scenario
- 3,081 unique "safe" or relatively similar instances to our current reality
- 17,569 known possible events with an unknown outcome
Note: of these 46,286 Open Box Events, 25,636 (or roughly 55.39%) of said events result in an unfavorable outcome, 17,569 (or roughly 37.96%) of said events result in an unknown outcome, and only 3,081 (or roughly 6.66%) of said events result in a favorable outcome.
Unfavorable Outcome |███████████ (55.39%)
Unknown Outcome |███████ (37.96%)
Favorable Outcome |█ (6.66%)
Addendum 2
Below is a list of Open Box Events that are possible after the deal was made.
- 7 instances resulting in the death or disappearance of a D-Class
- 3 instances resulting in the deaths of multiple Foundation personnel
