Psi-7 (“Home Improvement”)
Northern-Eastern wall of SCP-XXXX
Special Containment Procedures: The house SCP-XXXX is currently being contained in is currently occupied by Dr. Traverson, who has established a false identity as an IT Support Specialist, with the cover story being that he works from home. All windows of the home have been fitted with shutters. For security, several agents have moved in under the guise of being colleagues.
As of 7/19/2005, authorization was granted for Mobile Task Force Psi-7 to extract SCP-XXXX from the home it was originally in, to be moved to Site-81 so testing could be conducted easier and more efficiently.
As per new containment procedures, SCP-XXXX is to be placed inside of a large containment unit, with two armed guards to be posted outside of the door. SCP-XXXX currently poses no risk of escape, and containment procedures are currently only to restrict unauthorized access. Apart from testing, no personnel are permitted to enter the room alone.
SCP-XXXX-2 is to be kept in a secure storage vault when not in use for testing. A minimum of two armed guards are to be assigned to guarding SCP-XXXX-2.
Upon discovery of SCP-XXXX-2's memetic attributes and how it relates to its containment procedures, this anomaly has been given the subclassification "nuntii". - Dr. Traverson
The box must be destroyed at all costs
Description: SCP-XXXX is a windowless room contained inside of a house currently previously located in ██████, Marietta, Georgia. The room is five (5) meters by three (3) meters wide and approximately 2.5 meters tall. The inside is empty, aside from a bed, and a power outlet on the southernmost wall of the room. It was built in 1978, and remained occupied until 2001 until the original owners died. It is unclear wether the original owners didn’t report any unusual activities to SCP-XXXX’s anomalous properties, or if the room wasn’t anomalous during their stay. The room was occupied by sixteen (16) year old child ████, until his suicide on 1/05/2003.
When a sapient entity enters SCP-XXXX alone, the insides of the room appear to shift in size, shape, and appearance according to what situation is present inside. After this process is complete, various situations and entities will manifest inside of the room. These situations follow no particular theme, and have been recorded to contain ritualistic sacrifices, surgeries, terrorist attacks, etc. Meanwhile the entities manifested are usually of characters from TV shows or movies, or more rarely, SCP objects. Situations and entities inside SCP-XXXX are manifested from memories, experiences, and/or knowledge derived from the subject inside. No situation or entity inside of SCP-XXXX have presented any direct danger to the subject inside.
After the subject has entered SCP-XXXX, any events that reside inside of the room appear to be ingrained in the subject's mind as what is "normal" for a bedroom. Depending on what the subject encounters while inside of SCP-XXXX, some subjects have requested to be sent into SCP-XXXX a second time, but it should be noted that this most likely not due to SCP-XXXX itself. Subjects that experience SCP-XXXX will always view SCP-XXXX as a normal bedroom following exposure, and all attempts to convince otherwise using conventional methods have failed (See Interview Log XXXX-3-B). Only known method of convincing any subject of the room's anomalous effect is to remove memories of the room and any memories following exposure using amnestics.
When a subject is sent into SCP-XXXX being informed of the anomalous properties of the room beforehand, the subjects forget about such prior debriefing (See Addendum XXXX-5)
Any form of documentation of SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties from the inside of the room have failed. Video recordings or photographs taken inside of the room turn to black, and all audio recordings appear to be static. Message devices such as phones or computers are unable to send or receive messages, and and form of writing or typing of the events inside of SCP-XXXX show as scribble.
SCP-XXXX appears to be sentient. It is theorized that it effects peoples view on normalcy surrounding bedrooms in order to prevent people from avoiding the room due to its anomalous properties. Despite being seemingly sentient, SCP-XXXX has not attempted to communicate to any subject, and has not responded to requests for an interview.
SCP-XXXX-1 is a Level 2 Humanoid Apparition, location bound, non-violent, non-corporeal. It appears to be the spirit of the deceased ████ who inhabited the room. SCP-XXXX-1 has appeared on occasions inside of closets manifested by SCP-XXXX. Area surrounding SCP-XXXX-1 is surrounded by darkness, which is seemingly unable to be lit. This is theorized to be a "blind spot" for SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1 claims to be unwillingly trapped inside of SCP-XXXX (See Interview Logs XXXX-13-A through F)
SCP-XXXX-2 is a box half a meter (0.5m) wide on all sides. SCP-XXXX-2 appears to be made from an unknown metallic substance, and has hieroglyphs of unknown origin painted in purple on each side. When SCP-XXXX is manifesting or demanifested anything, SCP-XXXX-2 glows up until the process has completed. SCP-XXXX-2 has proven immune to any tried method of destruction, and no attempt at degrading the paint on SCP-XXXX-2 has failed. SCP-XXXX-2 appears to be the source of the anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX, and upon the box's destruction it is theorized that SCP-XXXX will be effectively neutralized. This box contains memetic cognitohazard, however, the extent of their power is still unknown
For unknown reasons, A certain group of people lose the effect of normalcy upon exiting the room. This includes family members and other people either involved in or completely fine with the abuse of the child occupying the room. This is what caused the room's anomalous properties to be discovered upon 3/5/2003 when the homeowner experienced SCP-XXXX's effects. Foundation Field Examiner █████ was dispatched to the scene, and due to SCP-XXXX's effect on perception of normalcy, the agent reported no anomalous properties inside of the room. (See Field Log XXXX-A). Upon routine review of Field Logs, SCP-XXXX was discovered, and a more thorough investigation was authorized. (See Field Log XXXX-B)

Subject: Note regarding your unusual field reports
I was doing a routine inspection of Field logs when I encountered something strange. You described a hostage situation, and regarded it as a completely normal occurrence for a bedroom. This makes me believe that you have been affected by some anomaly, and would like you to report to my desk immediately. Oh, and while you’re at it, use your fucking work email instead of your personal one.

Dr Traverson: Hello. Please state your name and mission for the record.
FE █████: I’m █████, and I was told to come here because of a field log I wrote.
Dr Traverson: Very well then. You described the room containing a hostage situation happening inside of the bedroom. Do you mind explaining this?
FE █████: What’s there to explain? There is nothing strange about that, it’s just part of any old bedroom.
Dr Traverson: I’m afraid to inform you that isn’t normal of any room.
FE █████: That’s nonsense.
Dr Traverson: This is getting us nowhere. Please tell me your experiences since the event.
FE █████: What’s strange is that whenever I sleep in my bedroom, there aren’t any hostages to free. I’ve ignored it since it’s more of a relief than anything as I can just go back to sleeping now, but it’s…. weird.
Dr Traverson: Thank you for your time, that’s all I need.

Dr Traverson: Hello. I am here today to inquire into an anomaly that you were recently sent to test.
D-████: Oh, are you talking about that bedroom I was put in? Seemed completely normal to me. Beats getting fed to some monster as food.
Dr Traverson: Seemed normal? Do you mind elaborating on what ‘normal’ things encountered inside of there?
D-████: Had to sit there and tend to the livestock.
Dr Traverson: Livestock?
D-████: Yeah, you’ve never tended to livestock in your bedroom before? There were cows, chickens, sheep, everything.
Dr Traverson: I’m unsure of wether that could be classified as ‘normal’ considering virtually nobody keeps livestock inside of their room.
D-████: Virtually nobody? Practically everyone I know does it. I’m surprised you don’t know about it. You must be living under a rock or something.
Dr Traverson: I’m afraid to inform you that you only think this is normal due to the nature of SCP-XXXX. You see, this anomaly causes manifestations to appear, and makes the subject inside of the bedroom think whatever happens is normal, and part of any bedroom.
D-████: Don’t try lying to me. Livestock is normal inside of any bedroom!
Dr Traverson: I’m afraid it isn’t. We can show you examples of regular bedrooms. But your thinking is illogical regardless. There isn’t nearly enough livestock to fit every room with such, and many rooms which can’t even fit livestock inside. And that’s not even to mention the fact that livestock would sully a bedroom if kept in there for that long.
D-████: That must be wrong. You expect me to believe that?

Interview Log XXXX-13-A
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1
Interviewer: MTF Psi-7 Agent ████
Foreword: Agent ████ was dispatched into SCP-XXXX with no prior debriefing of the anomalous capabilities of SCP-XXXX. Agent ████ was tasked with investigating the room to the best of his abilities. The following interview is written as remembered by Agent ████, and was not recorded via audio transcript.
<Begin Log>
Agent ████ is searching across the landscape. The landscape is his own old childhood bedroom with no additional changes, creatures or entities. Upon walking into the closet, Agent ████ encounters a corner not able to be illuminated by his flashlight. SCP-XXXX-1 manifests inside.
Agent ████: (Quietly, to himself) What th-
SCP-XXXX-1: Quiet down, we don't have much time, and I don't want to be cut short by… it.
Agent ████: …What are you?
SCP-XXXX-1: I used to sleep in this room. When I was younger I had…. how should I put it… special powers. My old man used to beat me all the time and all I had to turn to was my own imagination. I can't explain how, but soon… My imagined worlds came to life. Of course I wanted to keep to myself, so I made it go away when others saw it. It was nice, a world only for me. But I grew up, y'know? I wanted to leave my imaginary world and go get in a real relationship. But… while I grew up, my room didn-
SCP-XXXX-1 Demanifests, and the closet is able to be illuminated once again.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Agent ████ left SCP-XXXX without thinking the bedroom is normal. Agent ████ showed no signs of forgetfulness regarding SCP-XXXX-1. Upon re-entry into SCP-XXXX, Agent ████ reported feeling an increasing unwelcomeness, until he exits. Use of amnestics on agent Agent ████ were deemed unnecessary.
Interview Log XXXX-13-E
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1
Interviewer: MTF Psi-7 Agent ██████
Foreword: Agent ██████ was dispatched for the fifth expedition. Landscape is of the foundation breakroom at Site-██. Agent ██████ found SCP-XXXX-1 under similar circumstances to the first expedition, inside of a supply closet.
<Begin Log>
Agent ██████: Hello, I am here to conduct an interview.
SCP-XXXX-1: I figured. You both got that weird symbol on your suit. Where was i?
Agent ██████: Huh?
SCP-XXXX-1: Oh, right. While I grew up, my room didn't stop its activity. It continued and continued. My dumb self thought that was all there was to life, and didn't want it to continue any longer… so i…
Agent ██████: Suicide?
SCP-XXXX-1: Yeah. But I didn't expect to become a ghost. And it turns out that this room became alive after I stopped controlling it awhile back. So long story short, my room isn't ready to give me up yet, and kinda…. trapped me inside? It's been trying to keep me from talking to you all because it doesn't want me to ever end up leaving. But I've found my workarounds.
Agent ██████: Great. I was wondering about-
SCP-XXXX-1: (Interrupting) Gotta cut you short there. It found me out. See you later!

Closing Statement: Agent ██████ experienced the same effects as Agent ████, so no use of amnestics was deemed necessary.
Interview Log XXXX-13-F
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1
Interviewer: MTF Psi-7 Agent ███
Foreword: Agent ███ was dispatched for the sixth expedition. Landscape is of the inside of SCP-579's containment unit. The agent was confirmed to have been previously assigned to SCP-579. SCP-579 was not found inside of the containment unit. Agent ███ exited the containment unit successfully, and found no signs of life throughout Site-62C. Agent ███ was unable to open the exiting door to the facility. SCP-XXXX-1 was found inside of the personnel sleeping quarters. The following interview is written as remembered by the Agent under the same circumstances as the other three.
<Begin Log>
Agent ███: He-
SCP-XXXX-1: (Interrupting) Hush. I know what you are here for, and I don't have much time. My…. power to find a place to talk to you all is going down very very quickly. I think… it/… has been trying really hard to keep me away. But, I think I've found a way to destroy it.
SCP-XXXX-1 puts his hands behind his back and brings out SCP-XXXX-2.
SCP-XXXX-1: Remember when I told you guys my powers just suddenly appeared? And that I lost my powers because I grew up? Well. that wasn't exactly true. I was bored one day and dug a big hole in my yard… and I found this thing buried there. Apparently holding this thing and wishing for something makes it happen. It… spoke to me. Told me to use it to build a world of my own. So I did, inside my room. Made it go away when others came into my room cause' I didn't wanna risk others to see my own world. Anyways… one day I come home and my box doesn't work on my command. And the world… just transformed on it's own, yknow? It… speaks to me…. through this box… I think this box is what makes this room weird. I didn't know if I could trust you all with this box before, which is why I didn't give it to you, but I don't have any other chance. Please destroy this. Please. Then I can just die already…
SCP-XXXX-2 glows, and SCP-XXXX-1 demanifests, and the closet is able to be illuminated once again.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Agent ███ experienced the same effects as the previous two agents, so no use of amnestics was deemed necessary. Containment procedures revised to account for SCP-XXXX-2.
Addendum XXXX-5: Testing Logs
All tests were authorized and overseen by senior researcher Dr. Traverson.
Test Subject: D-2649
Procedure: D-2649 was sent in for approximately 15 minutes after being debriefed fully on the anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX, along with all interview logs pertaining to SCP-XXXX.
Result: Subject claims to have performed a successful surgery inside of the room. After further testing, it has been concluded that D-2649 has gained no medical knowledge from the experience. Subject seems to have lost all memory of prior debriefing about SCP-XXXX.
Test Subject: D-5728
Procedure: Subject was informed that SCP-XXXX was anomalous without giving any further details. D-5728 was sent into the room for 30 minutes with a video camera, a photography camera, a clipboard with a pen, and was given the task to document everything inside of the room.
Result: Subject recalls being sent in to record anything happening inside of the room, however doesn’t remember being told about the rooms anomalous properties. D-5728 wrote on the clipboard about an NBA basketball game happening inside of the room. Video feed cut out the moment D-5728 was alone inside of the room. Any photos taken by D-05728 ended up fully blackened out.
Test Subject: Dr █████
Procedure: Dr █████ was not debriefed about SCP-XXXX. Instead, Dr █████ was given laboratory equipment alongside a paper and pen, and was given the task to analyze the insides of the room to the best of his abilities.
Result: Subject recalls being sent into the room to analyze what was happening inside, however doesn’t recall the results of the analysis. Written on the paper is a set of incoherent scribbling. Subject claims to have taken part in the killing of a mammoth inside of the bedroom, and then analyzed the corpse. Dr █████ was given Class A Amnestics.
Test Subject: D-8264
Procedure: D-8264 was sent in with a knife and a pistol, tasked with killing whatever he found inside.
Result: Seven gunshots were heard during the time subject was inside. D-8264 emerged from the room 18 minutes and 33 seconds after entering. D-8264 claims to have been successful at the killing of a classroom full of college students. After examining the room, two bullets were found lodged inside of the floor, while the other five bullets could not be located.
Test Subject: D-8264
Procedure: D-8264 was given various forms of tools, such as a typewriter, an audio recorder, a video recorder, a photography camera, and a cellular phone to send messages to command.
Result: Command received no messages from D-8264 for the 23 minutes and 5 seconds subject was inside. Audio recorder outputted what appears to be static. Video recorder and photography camera's output contained nothing but black. Typewriter shows signs of use, however the outputted paper contained incoherent scribbling. D-8264 claims to have used all the provided tools as requested.
Test Subject: D-7381
Procedure: D-7381 was given class F Amnestics, and was given a new identity. Upon receiving this new identity, D-7381 was shown the file for SCP-6011, and was sent into SCP-XXXX.
Result: D-7381 reported seeing an environment identical to what was described in SCP-6011’s file.
Request was made to use SCP-XXXX for non-standard anomalous environment examination. Request pending.
Test Subject: D-7381
Procedure: All further memories of D-7381 were erased and subject was sent back in.
Result: D-7381 reported no anomalous effects inside of the room, regarding it as being in its normal state.
Test Subject:* D-9341
Procedure: Subject was given Class Z Amnestics and sent in after a debrief on SCP-XXXX.
Result: Subject didn't arrive on designated exit time. Approximately 4 minutes after the designated exit time, personnel were sent in to retrieve D-9341, and the subject was found deceased. Cause of death appears to be cardiac arrest.
Due to the costs of using D-Class personnel to repeatedly test SCP-XXXX, all further testing has been halted aside from Psi-7 agents who have received prior authorization.

FROM: Researcher Edgard Traverson
TO: Site Director Karlyle
Hello. I am here to formally request the testing of termination of SCP-XXXX via SCP-XXXX-2 to continue. I assure you, it won't be a waste of your time.
NOTIFICATION
You have a new message.
FROM: Site Director Karlyle
TO: Researcher Edgard Traverson
Testing of neutralization of SCP-XXXX is going to be halted regardless of your take on the matter. It has been nothing but costly.
FROM: Researcher Edgard Traverson
TO: Site Director Karlyle
Listen. it will be worthwhile to neutralize SCP-XXXX. I assure you. Please reconsider and open testing back up.

No. Final answer. It has been nothing but costly, and we have nothing to show for it. Message me again and you'll be reprimanded.
…why?
Audio Log #1
This is Researcher Traverson from Site-81. I was assigned to SCP-XXXX and regret every living moment of it. It was all going smoothly until that thing arrived on my desk. It… speaks… to me. I can't get it out of my head. It begs me to use it, and I can't take it anymore. I need the thing destroyed as fast as possible, but testing has just stopped. I decided to take matters into my own hands and destroy the wretched thing myself. I am logging this as an active revision so people can see how right I am in the end. Nobody checks through active revisions anyways. Hopefully slapping on the "Only overseers are allowed to view this" bullshit is enough to ward others off.
Audio Log #2
Traverson here. I used my credentials to gain access to the box, and I tried everything I could to destroy it, but it all failed. This needs a more… unconventional approach. Please just make the voices stop…
Audio Log #3
Hello again. It's been… what, like a week? I got access to the box again. I tried to expose it to any other anomaly I had access to. Since I'm such a high ranking researcher, no one suspected anything. But, nothing worked. Not even a scratch. I had to put it back for now, people are getting suspicious. If you are reading this file, please help…
Audio Log #4
I tried everything. I saw the on-site psychiatrist…. nothing…. I tried giving myself amnestics for all memories surrounding the box but…. the memories just won't go away. Its keeping me like this so I can suffer.
Audio Log #5
It's been… a month… since it started… I can't go on anymore. I keep hearing that damned say "Use me" every breathing moment… I need to take this back to the room… its the only way…
Audio Log #6
Traverson again… one last time hopefully. I'm not sure wether this will even save due to this room's properties, but one can only hope. I'm inside the room but…. nothing. I tried using its own anomalous abilities but… nothing. Is this really it?
Audio Log #7
Why?
Audio Log #8
The voices are calling out for me to… let it out? No. No. No… I have been subjected to this torment, why should I let this thing out?
Audio Log #9
…So this is the way it ends…
