Per 
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX shall be kept locked in a standard Class-7 vault. A closed circuit video system shall be installed to allow for visual monitoring of SCP-XXXX at all times.
- Containment Addendum 1 (dated 5-18-11): A type-5 tracking beacon with battery pack shall be installed on SCP-XXX. This beacon shall be concealed within ███ █████ ████████ █████ ███ ████ ███████. Access to SCP-XXXX’s vault shall be upgraded to dual-key permission system.
- Containment Addendum 2 (dated 11-29-16): All access to SCP-XXXX is prohibited, with the exception that access to SCP-XXXX shall be permitted once per six month period to allow for replacement of tracking beacon battery. Both key holders to SCP-XXXX’s vault shall have Level 4 clearance. An armed security team of no less than four men shall be posted at SCP-XXXX’s containment vault at all times.
- Containment Addendum 3 (dated 7-13-17): Oversight authority of SCP-XXXX, including control of access keys, transferred to Fail Safe Committee, classification ████-██-██.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a forged iron, riveted box measuring .75 meters in width, 1 meter in depth, and 2.1 meters in height. A hinged door on the front of the object allows access to an internal compartment roughly the size of an average human. The sound of clockwork mechanism can be heard emanating from deeper within the structure of SCP-XXXX, however as of this time no method of accessing any internal portion of SCP-XXXX, except for the human-sized compartment, has been discovered. All attempts to remove any of SCP-XXXX’s rivets have resulted in tool failure.
- Description Addendum 1 (dated 1-14-09): Preliminary testing seems to indicate that SCP-XXXX allows access to our timeline from alternate realities. What triggers this behavior is unknown.
- Description Addendum 2 (dated 8-18-14): We now believe that SCP-XXX does not access alternate realities, but instead alters our timeline. If an individual enters SCP-XXXX, fully closes the door, and then exits, the timeline is rewritten to create a reality where the occupant of SCP-XXXX never existed. The occupant is not "deleted", however, and instead is able to exit the object and enter this new timeline. SCP-XXXX itself is also seemingly not affected by this reality altering effect.
Researcher Note: Based on analysis of Testing Attempt 2 (see below), Dr. ██████ believes that SCP-XXXX will prevent its own use to trigger what Dr. ██████ has classified as a "recursion event".
Discovery: On 10-9-08 SCP-XXXX spontaneously appeared at Site 19, in research laboratory 84. An individual wearing SCP foundation clothing then immediately exited the object. Under interrogation, this individual identified himself as one Dr. Jonathan Atar. He claimed to be the lead Foundation researcher for SCP-XXXX, however no record of a Dr. Jonathan Atar has been located in the SCP database. According to Dr. Atar, he discovered SCP-XXXX in Damascus after successfully translating chapter ██, section ██ of the post-Mekhanite Church of the Broken God (CotBG) text ████████. Dr. Atar further stated that SCP-XXXX had been brought to laboratory 84 on his orders.
Researcher Note: Following questioning of Dr. Atar, a dig team was dispatched to Damascus and the ruins of a post-Mekhanite CotBG temple, as described by Dr. Atar, were discovered, however no evidence of previous excavation was found.
Dr. Atar displayed a remarkable level of knowledge concerning Site 19, including Foundation procedures and personnel, and various high level SCPs. Due to the attendant security risks presented, Dr. Atar has been placed in indefinite detention. Any requests to interview Dr. Atar shall require Level 4 security clearance.
Testing Attempt 1: On 1-12-09 a Class D subject (male, age 37, ID# D-2908) was selected to be placed inside SCP-XXXX. After initial reluctance, D-2908 approached SCP-XXXX as instructed, however moments before reaching the object, an unknown individual exited the object. This unknown individual was a male, appearing to be in his 60s, wearing Class D clothing bearing the ID# D-3625. This new individual showed surprise at D-2908's presence in the testing area, displaying an apparent knowledge of D-2908's name, stating, "█████, what are you doing here?" Under questioning, this new individual claimed to be the test subject selected to enter SCP-XXXX.
A search of the SCP Database indicated that no active Class D individual had been assigned the ID number D-3625, and the original test subject, D-2908, indicated no knowledge of ever having seen or met this new individual.
The new individual was removed the the testing area, and the original test subject, D-2908, was once again instructed to enter SCP-XXXX. At this point D-2908 became agitated, and refused to enter SCP-XXXX, believing the object would “transform” him. Security personnel were brought into the testing area in order to force the subject to enter the object. During the ensuing struggle with D-2908, another unknown individual, this time female and appearing to be in her late 20s, exited SCP-XXXX. This new, unknown individual was wearing Class D clothing as well, bearing the ID# D-1805. This new individual also claimed to have been the subject selected to enter SCP-XXXX, further claiming that she had been forced into SCP-XXXX, by the attending security personnel, after the first unknown individual had exited the object. As before, a search of the SCP Database indicated that no active Class D individual had been assigned the ID number D-1805.
At this point, testing was suspended, to allow for reevaluation of the testing procedure. However, four minutes after the test had been suspended, a third unknown individual exited SCP-XXXX. This new individual was a male, appearing to be in his late 20s, wearing Class D clothing bearing the ID# D-6073. Under questioning, this new individual gave a story matching that of the second unknown individual, claiming that he was the original test subject, and that the attendant security personnel had forced him into SCP-XXXX after the first unknown individual, D-3625, had exited the object. As with the other individuals who had exited SCP-XXXX, no record of this individual could be found in the SCP Database.
SCP-XXXX was observed for a further two hours, however no additional individuals exited the object.
Testing Attempt 2: On 3-18-09 the same Class D test subject from Testing Attempt 1, D-2908, was brought to SCP-XXXX for a second test. In order to ensure a higher level of compliance than the first test, D-2908 was given a mild sedative prior to the start of the test. D-2908 was then instructed to enter SCP-XXXX. As D-2908 began to approach the object, a loud noise, accompanied by a vibration, began to emanate from SCP-XXXX. The sound could best be described as that of grinding gears. The volume of the sound, and the intensity of the vibration increased as D-2908 continued to move closer. At a range of five meters, the volume of the sound emanating from SPC-XXXX reached a level of 60 decibels, while the accompanying vibration could be felt throughout the entire testing area. At a range of three meters, the volume of the sound increased to a level of 75 decibels, with the force of the vibrations reaching an estimated 4 on the Richter scale. At a range of 1 meter, the sound volume passed a level of 90 decibels, with the force of the vibration now passing an estimated 5 on the Richter scale. As this point, fearing damage to Site 19, the test was stopped. The sound emanating from SPC-XXXX and the accompanying vibrations immediately ceased.
Incident 1: On 4-23-11, SCP-XXXX vanished from it’s containment vault. Eight days later, during a routine security sweep of civilian areas around Site 19, SCP-XXXX was located in a vacant warehouse, address ███ █████ █████, located approximately 4 kilometers from Site 19. Surveillance video footage from an ATM located across the street from said warehouse was pulled, and a review of this footage showed that approximately 1 minute after SCP-XXXX had vanished from it’s vault a lone individual wearing an SCP secutiry officer uniform exited the warehouse. Video resolution of the ATM camera was insufficient for identification purposes. Site 19 duty logs indicate no employees missing at time of video recording. SCP-XXXX was returned to it’s vault.
Incident 2: On 8-12-14, an individual identifying himself as one Dr. Landon Reiss exited SCP-XXXX. This individual was highly agitated and appeared to be in a state of shock. He was also in possession of documents signed by ██████████ of the O5 council, including valid challenge-response codes, however no record of a Dr. Landon Reiss was located in the SCP database, and ██████████ of the O5 council indicated no knowledge of a Dr. Landon Reiss. (See except of interview with Dr. Reiss below.)
Interview Location: Site 19, Room 792E
Interviewed: Individual claiming to be one Dr. Landon Reiss
Interviewer: Dr. ████ ███████
<BEGIN LOG>
Interviewer: Why are you here?
Dr. Reiss: I fucked up.
Interviewer: Can you clarify that statement?
Dr. Reiss: What’s there to clarify. It’s all my fault. It was just supposed to be research. … Listen, I didn’t know it would move that fast … that it could go … everywhere.
Interviewer: What research are you talking about?
Dr. Reiss: SCP-███ … that fucking █████.
Interviewer: How did you gain access to SCP-███?
Dr. Reiss: Access? How do you think? I put together a proposal … ran it by Administrator ████████ … What the fuck was I thinking, though? … How could I have been so reckless?
Interviewer: Administrator ████████ has authorized no new research on SCP-███.
Dr. Reiss: Well, yeah… not now. Don’t you fucking get it!?
Interviewer: Please calm down. We’re only trying to figure out what happened. You’ll need to explain.
Dr. Reiss: I was the one who talked him into it. It was all my initiative, but it was a mistake. I. Fucked. Up. Getting me in the box before time ran out was the only option we had. … Fuck, man. I had a wife… a son.

Incident 3: On 11-29-16, three Class D personnel armed with weapons taken from an improperly secured firearms locker assaulted Dr. █████████ and Dr. ██████, stealing their keys to SCP-XXXX’s vault. The three Class D personnel removed SCP-XXXX from it’s vault, bringing it to motor pool 9, where they proceeded to load it into a light duty transport van. While attempting to leave the facility they were engaged by Lieutenant ███████. In the ensuing fire fight, one of the Class D personal, a one Roberto Alvarez (ID# D-7719), was shot and killed by Lieutenant ███████. The remaining two Class D personal, a one James "Jimmy" Stanfield (ID# D-6002) and a one Luca Mészáros (ID# D-4591), successfully escaped the facility. They were tracked via SCP-XXXX’s tracking beacon to a disused, underground parking garage, address ████ ██████ ███, located approximately 6 kilometers from Site 19.
Upon reaching the parking garage, SCP security forces found the remaining two Class D personnel, D-6002 and D-4591, both dead, from apparent gunshot wounds. A third, unknown individual, wearing a Class D uniform bearing the ID# D-9187, was apprehended attempting to flee the location. This individual identified himself as one Devonte Williams, however no record of a Class D individual matching that name, nor matching the number on Devonte Williams' uniform was found in the SCP database. (See except of interrogation of Devonte Williams below.)
Interview Location: Site 19, Room 64P
Interviewed: Individual claiming to be one Devonte Williams
Interviewer: Dr. ████ ███████
<BEGIN LOG>
Interviewer: Who are you?
Devonte: Fuck off. I’m dead anyways. I ain’t talking to you.
Interviewer: Why do you think you’re going to die?
Devonte: I smoked Lieutenant ███████ … capped that asshole. You’re gonna off me no matter what I tell you.
Interviewer: Lieutenant ███████ is alive. We have no reason to kill you.
Devonte: The fuck he is. I took half that prick’s head off.
Interviewer: I can assure you, Lieutenant ███████ is perfectly fine. He definitely has not been shot.
Devonte: You must think I’m ignorant as fuck to fall for that lie. That lanky-ass mother fucker thought he could go all hero in the motor pool, and I put a round from my .45 in the back of his head. So like I said, I ain’t talking. You’re gettin’ nothing from me.
<At this point Lieutenant ███████ was brought into the interview room to demonstrate to the subject that the Lieutenant was in fact alive. The subject became agitated, but calmed down and agreed to answer questions after being given a Type B relaxant.>
Interviewer: So, should we start this again?Devonte: Yeah, fuck it, whatever. … like any of this matters now.
Interviewer: So, what is your name?
Devonte: Devonte … Devonte Williams.
Interviewer: And where did you get the clothes you’re wearing?
Devonte: My clothes? I’m wearing what you fuckers gave me to wear. … Wait, do you not who I am?
Interviewer: We're just trying to figure out what happened.
Devonte: Fuck … I was close. Damn.
Interviewer: Why don’t we start at the beginning. What were you doing with SCP-XXXX?
Devonte: SCP-XXXX? You mean the box?
Interviewer: Yes, the … box. Did you come out of the box?
Devonte: Well, yeah. I mean, I went inside it, and then I got out.
Interviewer: How did you get inside the box?
Devonte: Inside? I opened the door and got in. How the fuck do you think I got in?
Interviewer: I’m just trying to make sure we’re getting everything straight. When did you first see SCP-XXXX?
Devonte: When we fucking took it, man. We got the keys off those two eggheads, took the box out of it’s vault, and put it in a van.
Interviewer: When you say, “we”, do you mean yourself and the other Class D personnel?
Devonte: Yeah. I mean, what did you expect. Some of the fish believe your propaganda, that cooperation will be rewarded. Give me a break. We all know what the D stands for. … We wanted out, and then Alvarez sees that one of your clusmy-ass guards ain’t locking the gun cabinet properly, so he tells myself, Jimmy, and that Hungarian fuck Luca about it, and we come up with a plan.
Interviewer: Why did you take SCP-XXXX? You had fire-arms, access to a van … why not simply escape?
Devonte: How far you think we’d get in just a van? That box was our ticket to be free and clear.
Interviewer: What do you believe SCP-XXXX … err … I mean the box, does?
Devonte: It makes the Foundation forget who you are, or at least that’s what some of the other Ds were saying. (Devonte laughs) I guess it worked, too, ‘cause you assholes don’t seem to know who I am no more. Too bad I didn’t run faster.
Interviewer: So it was at the parking garage that you went into the box?
Devonte: Yeah. Alvarez suggested we draw straws, and I came out on top.
Interviewer: Alvarez was with you in the parking garage?
Devonte: Yeah. Where else would he be?
Interviewer: And what happened when you went into the box?
Devonte: I don’t know. I mean it’s just a box. I didn’t feel anything.
Interviewer: And when you got out?
Devonte: When I step out, Jimmy and Luca have their guns out, and they’re arguing over who gets to go in first, … and Alvarez, that mother fucker’s just gone. So I’m like, “Yo!, where’s Alvarez?” And then Luca turns and puts his gun on me, like that asshole don’t know me, … but that was a mistake.
Interviewer: Why was that a mistake?
Devonte: ‘cause Luca ain’t never seen Jimmy fight before. That brother’s a snake. As soon as Luca take his gun off Jimmy and put it on me, he was done. Jimmy just straight capped him, and was like, “Who’s first now, bitch!?”
Interviewer: So then who shot Jimmy?
Devonte: I said Jimmy was a snake, but I ain’t never said he was smart. That white boy Luca is a big dude, and Jimmy was being all stingy, putting just one bullet in him. Sure, the dude’s on the ground with a hole through his chest, but he ain’t dead yet, so while Jimmy’s monologueing, Luca brings his piece back up and it’s BAM, BAM, BAM, and then both those mother fuckers are dead.
Interviewer: And what did you do?
Devonte: What do you think? I took off running … only to run into you all.
Interviewer: So you were the only one to go inside SCP-XXXX?
Devonte: Yeah … I mean, maybe. Man, that box is weird.
Interviewer: What do you mean by, “weird”?
Devonte: Like when we get to the parking garage, we open the back of the van to unload the thing, and then the box just unloads itself.
Interviewer: It unloaded itself?
Devonte: Yeah, like its in the back of the van, and then, boom, its outside the van just sittin’ in the garage, … and then a dude gets out of it.
Interviewer: Was this another Class D individual?
Devonte: Naw, man. He was wearing your colors.
Interviewer: Our colors?
Devonte: Yeah, you know, like a suit, tie, lab coat. Mother fucker’s carrying a laptop bag, too, looking all boss and shit, and he’s got a gun out. I thought the jig was up right there.
Interviewer: Can you tell me what this individual looked like?
Devonte: Nope.
Interviewer: Why not?
Devonte: Dude had a helmet on. I guess he wanted to be incognito.
Interviewer: I see. Did he say anything?
Devonte: Yeah, he talked. He looks at the four of us and starts laughing and says something like, “I guess your plan didn’t need tweakin’ after all.” Then he looks at the box and is like, “I guess that means the beacon is still here, too.”
Interviewer: And that's all he said?
Devonte: Yep, and then that mother fucker straight bounced. You all must have just missed him.
Interviewer: If I put you with a sketch artist, Devonte, do you think can remember what this individual looks like? … Minus his face, of course.
Devonte: Yeah, whatever. You assholes pretty much own me again, right?
<END LOG>
<CLOSING STATEMENT:> Based on his level of cooperation, and our complete lack of records concerning his identity, it is recommended that adjudication of Devonte Williams' custody status be handled by the Ethics Division.
Following Incident 3, An armed security detail was assigned to SCP-XXXX's vault on a permanent, rotating schedule, with orders to terminate any individual attempting to access to SCP-XXXX without proper authorization.
Researcher Note: I think we've now got a firm grasp on what this thing does, but looking back over our testing and incident logs, it's apparent how reckless we've been. The Foundation has had possession of SCP-XXXX for a little over eight years, and by my count, we've allowed the timeline to be altered a minimum of nine times, and that's assuming we didn't miss any uses of SCP-XXXX.
Conclusions: Due to SCP-XXXX's reality altering abilities, and the inability to fully predict how use of SCP-XXXX will alter the timeline, further use of SCP-XXXX for research or testing purposes is prohibited. However, it is possible that the use of SCP-XXXX may provide for a functional, if messy, fail safe option. Recommend transfer of oversight authority concerning SCP-XXXX to Fail Safe Committee.
