SCP_Door

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 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...
