Special Containment Procedures


A two kilometer exclusion zone has been constructed around the perimeter of SCP-XXXX. Additionally, a treeline consisting of confierous trees and leafy bushes gas been planted, currently surrounding the base of SCP-XXXX for the proposes of concealment. Food caches containing arsenic and strychnine have been strategically placed within the treeline in order to provide a method of neutralizing escaped SCP-XXXX-1 entities. Carcasses are to be removed from the exclusion zone and taxidermied at site-901. Specimens are to be later stored in a standard containment locker.


Description


SCP-XXXX is an extra dimensional space localized entirely within the confines of Roseafaer House, an 18th century manor home in Sudbury, Ontario. Access to SCP-XXXX is limited to the front entrance of Roseafaer House. At the entrance, exists a small marble plaque, in which the following phrase written in Roseafaer Middle English, is inscribed.

Haerk Maen! Third iest thei laend oef teh beests thaet maen haeth forsesken aend defialed, to acvheive greeadence and weelath. Onely thoase whoe wiesh to paey baecke for maen's siens are garented entry, lest be baniesed and suefaer siamolar faeith.

SCP-XXXX's internal size is currently unknown1, partially due to the difficulty with traversing the interior. An unidentified presence within SCP-XXXX prevents the usage of modern exploration equipment, with devices including video cameras, weaponry, recorders refusing to power on or operate properly. Additional challenges relating to exploration stem from the unstable nature of SCP-XXXX, which continually experiences spatial changes at unknown intervals. Rooms and interior spaces within SCP-XXXX have been observed to rapidly shift in size along with contents, and overall place within the region.

SCP-XXXX's interior rooms typically follow that of a mid-century Victorian manor, following common style and themes native to that time period. Identified rooms within SCP-XXXX have included libraries, dining halls, bedrooms, servant quarter's, kitchens, private studies, living areas and sitting rooms. Interspersed within are numerous distinct specimens of plantlife, including some beloved to only exist within SCP-XXXX. Individual rooms, regardless of type, contain distinct layouts and vegetation, with several ecological niches discovered. Several rooms and regions within SCP-XXXX are flooded, and are believed to carry water and nutrients to other areas of the space. Despite the unstable interior, SCP-XXXX is home to a wide varay of animalistic entities2 resembling extinct organisms, dating to as early as the late Cambrian period, to modern times. While SCP-XXXX-1 instances artificially resemble an extinct organism, they exhibit substantial behavioral changes when compared to the original species, along with differing genetic makeup, habitat and diet. Because of this, entities currently inhabiting SCP-XXXX have been referred to as distinct specimens. Likely owning to the distinct ecological niche SCP-XXXX possesses, instances outside of the realm will eventually die, with no escaped specimen living longer then 14 days.

A complete listing of SCP-XXXX-1 entities have been described in the following addendum.


History:


While the exact date in which SCP-XXXX manifested in roseafaer house is currently unknown, probable suggestion suggests that SCP-XXXX likely began following the death of Dame Emily Barrows, lady of Roseafaer house. Barrows, a member of the Roseafaer royal family, emigrated to Sudbury, Ontario, Canada sometime in the early eighteen seventies, following the removal of the monarchy within Roseafaer.

Roseafaer House was constructed and built by Daniel Amaont, a leading Canadian architect and eventual husband of Barrows. Emily was noted as an eccentric, even within Roseafaer, and was subject of much speculation within Sudbury, as she had refused to leave the manor home, and was suspected of hoarding animals.
