Item #: SCP-3734
Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3734 is to be contained within a 5m x 5m x 5m room under constant surveillance via security cameras installed throughout its containment chamber. The room of containment is to be sealed via airlock to prevent light from entering SCP-3734’s vicinity, and is to be lined with acid and high-heat resistant titanium-steel alloy plating. Backup generators are to be on standby in the event of site-wide power outage, and are to be routinely checked for proper operation by site technicians. Should failure of these generators occur for longer than six (6) hours, Overwatch command is to be notified immediately, and Foundation sleeper agents are to be deployed in order to re-contain any new instance of SCP-3734. Any change in the image displayed by SCP-3734 or the appearance of new material from SCP-3734 is to be recorded and reported to Dr. Hawthorn.

Description: SCP-3734 currently manifests in a [BRAND REDACTED] ceiling-mounted projector (Serial No. 24756). The construction and appearance of SCP-3734 is consistent with non-anomalous projectors of the same model number. Anomalous properties of SCP-3734 are not expressed until power is supplied to the projector. Upon powering on, SCP-3734 will, after a brief warm-up period, display an image of a heavily reinforced door (Approximately 1.5m x 2.5m) on whatever surface it is mounted in front of. Size of the door is unaffected by the distance from the surface SCP-3734 is projecting onto. The doors that are displayed are similar in appearance to those seen around ████ Particle Laboratory (Pending confirmation regarding correlation). Periodically, the door (Hereby referred to as SCP-3734-1) depicted in the image SCP-3734 displays will become tangible, and will open. This event occurs no less than six and one-quarter hours (6.25) and no more than one hundred and sixty eight (168) hours after the previous event. Upon opening, an object or objects will exit the space beyond the threshold of SCP-3734-1 and flow out into SCP-3734’s containment chamber. Should power to SCP-3734 be interrupted for more than six (6) hours, this property will cease to manifest in the current instance, and instead will manifest in an entirely new projector in a different location, seemingly “choosing” at random.

As of 02-24-██, noteworthy examples of matter exiting SCP-3734-1 include Lava (Matching that of Earth’s surface lava, see Incident 3734-A), a single [BRAND REDACTED]-brand racing tire (Object exited SCP-3734-1 at approximately ██km/h, severely injuring several researchers performing routine examination), and what appeared to be Researcher █████’s pet dog, who went missing from his home three weeks prior (Dog was unharmed, other than suffering from very mild malnutrition). A further list of events regarding SCP-3734 can be seen below (See Observation Log 3734-A).

+ Observation Log 3734-A:

Observation 3437-167 (4-26-██)

At 12:43:26PM, light tapping was heard emanating from beyond SCP-3734-1. After an estimated thirty seconds, SCP-3734-1 swung open, at which point a large number of what appeared to be standard wooden anatomical mannequins (roughly 13 inches [33 cm] in height) began crossing the threshold of SCP-3734-1, seemingly moving of their own accord. During this period of movement, some mannequins were observed traveling at a rate of up to ██km/h. After remaining in SCP-3734’s containment chamber for roughly four minutes, all mannequins ceased movement and appeared to return to a non-anomalous state, losing all stiffness of joints.

Note: Apparently this thing can animate things that otherwise lack the ability to move on their own. That’s a comforting thought. -Dr. █████

Observation 3437-230 (8-02-██)

At 09:23:54AM, during routine generator maintenance, SCP-3734-1 swung open, revealing a bright meadow that appeared to lay beyond the threshold of SCP-3734-1. According to present personnel, the meadow gave off an “aura” that has been described as “a pulling feeling”. Personnel reported nothing having left the space beyond SCP-3734-1, however, on-site staff have reported a feeling of longing to enter SCP-3734-1 during events. Exploration into the space beyond SCP-3734-1 is currently under review by Senior Researcher Davis.

Note: It’s like whatever “it” was had a giant magnet stuck to it. I felt like I was a chunk of steel on a scrapyard magnet. It wasn’t a good feeling. I want Senior Researcher ███████ to be notified of this. -Researcher Daniels

Observation 3437-312 (11-14-██)

At 06:57:01AM, a janitor cleaning the corridor outside of SCP-3437’s containment chamber reported hearing calls for help from within the cell. Upon further investigation, the distress call came from SCP-507, who recalled becoming trapped in a parallel dimension after a dimension shift. After days of wandering, subject reported seeing, "Some kinda door thing with a solid black outline appear on the horizon". Upon opening the door, the subject entered Site-██ at SCP-3734's containment room, just past the threshold of SCP-3734-1. Subject appeared unharmed other than minor bumps and bruises.

Note: Maybe we can use 507 to explore this thing. Give him some protective gear and some sort of recording device and send him on his way. I’ll send this up to the Council and see what they have to say. -Researcher Jacobs
