Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:
The land surrounding SCP-XXXX has been purchased by the Foundation and fenced off with a three (3) km radius for the purpose of preventing knowledge of the foundation being revealed to the general public. Site XXXX has been built as a base of operations on the northwestern edge of the perimeter, and has been placed under the foundation front “S███████ Construction Projects”. Armed guards disguised as construction workers are manned in groups of three (3) every 200 m around the perimeter. Research into SCP-XXXX must be approved by no fewer than two (2) level 4 personnel.

All video exploration of SCP-XXXX is currently on hold is prohibited by O5 Command, however personnel may submit a request to Dr. Watterson for a non-video transmission exploration. If the request is approved, Mobile Task Force Omicron-8 (Valued Customers) will carry out the exploration. All items obtained from the explorations must be added to the Log of Recovered Items.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a large shopping complex located approximately █ km southeast of S███████, NM. The title “Infiniplex Shopping Center” (sic) is written in bold black typeface on a large illuminated board above the entrance. The building’s exterior measures around 600 m x 750 m, and is comprised mainly of cement and brick. There are two dome skylight windows on its roof, made of blue-tinted glass and a metal frame. Ventilation is visible on the roof as well, but appears non functional.

SCP-XXXX appears to be in a state of severe disrepair, and appears as if it has been abandoned for a prolonged period of time. Windows on its exterior have either been boarded up or painted over. There are few functioning lights in and around SCP-XXXX, as most are either missing or broken. Those documented that are fully functioning have not been recorded emitting more than 50 lumens. SCP-XXXX does appear to have a power supply, though the location is still unknown.

The interior of SCP-XXXX can be accessed by the 8 sliding tinted-glass doors at the front of the complex. SCP-XXXX’s interior is significantly larger than it’s exterior, with the longest current exploration extending to 14+ km. It has been speculated that SCP-XXXX does not appears to possess an end.

SCP-XXXX possesses a variety of retail and merchandising “outlets” that are common for similar shopping complexes, such as restaurants, clothing retailers, home improvement stores, as well as several movie theaters. All documented outlets have been found to be fully stocked, and all food products appear not to have decomposed, despite being in the complex for an as of yet unknown amount of time. The outlets begin to appear to “degrade”, or deviate from their standard form, approximately 1 kilometer from the entrance. Examples of degradation include changes in spelling, products, shop design, and [DATA REDACTED]. Distance from the entrance also determines the stability of the outlets, or how anomalous the outlets may get. Many outlets found past █ km appear to possess [COGNITOHAZARD EXPUNGED].

SCP-XXXX-1 denotes all entities found within SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1 appear in the outlets inside of SCP-XXXX. Like the outlets, SCP-XXXX-1 “degrade” further into the building. Entities found closer to the entrance are generally docile humans or beings closely resembling humans in torn clothing and poor health. Entities found further inside SCP-XXXX are more distorted, vaguely humanoid entities with signs of severe physical and/or genetic alterations.

SCP-XXXX-1, upon seeing a human, will attempt to detain it as well as sell it an object from the outlet in which it originated. Methods of this include advertisement, sexual enticement, physical imprisonment, and on four recorded instances, severe [DATA EXPUNGED] resulting in the subjects death 24 hours later. If the subject refuses to, or is otherwise incapable of purchasing an item from SCP-XXXX-1, it will be met with a hostile reaction. It should be noted that SCP-XXXX-1 tend to lack decent muscular strength, although it has been observed that this is nullified the further a subject travels into SCP-XXXX. To date, more than ███ personnel have been lost to attacks by SCP-XXXX-1.

Discovery: SCP-XXXX came to the attention of the foundation on November 19, 1997 following multiple reports of missing children in the S███████ area. Rumors were picked up from an undercover agent working in a S███████ school about “the magic mall”, and was located and fenced off 3 days later. Class C amnestics were administered to all students and faculty of the school, who were then fed the story of an escaped convict capturing children.
