SCP-XXXX

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: The chamber containing SCP-XXXX is to be given facility plumbing access. Should it be scheduled for testing, water access and sewage pipes are to be connected appropriately to SCP-XXXX and disconnected once testing has concluded. Any inconsistencies regarding the behavior of SCP-XXXX are to be reported immediately to a senior researcher specializing in temporal anomalies.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a curtained shower bath measuring 1.7 m x 0.8 m x 2.4 m. The temperature of its water, similarly to a typical bathtub, is controlled by two knobs on its faucet: the left knob corresponding to hot water and the right knob corresponding to cold water. The maximum water temperature cannot exceed forty-nine (49) degrees Celsius, regardless of the temperature of connected waterlines. Similarly, the minimum temperature cannot be lower than seven (7) degrees Celsius. Due to what appears to be either a clog or faulty plumbing, water cannot be toggled between the faucet and the showerhead. As of ██/██/██, the faucet of SCP-XXXX remains disabled.

When SCP-XXXX is on (i.e. water is flowing out of its showerhead) and its curtains are sufficiently closed, a "time-scaling" effect is applied to its contents. The factor by which time is scaled is determined by the temperature of SCP-XXXX's water. At its minimum temperature, time is scaled by a factor of approximately negative three (-3), and at its maximum temperature, time is scaled by a factor of approximately seven (7). In other words, for each second that passes locally at its minimum temperature, the contents travel roughly three (3) seconds into the past, and for each second that passes locally at its maximum temperature, the contents travel roughly seven (7) seconds into the future. This effect scales linearly between these values.

SCP-XXXX was recovered from an apartment building in ███████, New Brunswick in 1993 with the assistance of MTF Psi-7 "Home Improvement." It was initially brought to the attention of Foundation field agents by reports from a tenant of anomalous activity occurring in and around SCP-XXXX.

Addendum XXXX.1: Interview Log

Interviewed: Tenant-1 "███," 47-year-old male

Interviewer: Lieutenant R████ of MTF Psi-7 "Home Improvement"

Foreword: Interview takes place at the site of SCP-XXXX's recovery during its relocation to Site-██. Tenant-1, being present during its recovery, is told that his shower is being "taken in for repairs."

<Begin Log>

Lieutenant R█████: Please, tell me your name.

Tenant-1: Name's ███. And in all my years, I've never seen a plumber take a shower away for repairs.

Lieutenant R█████: I assure you, ███, this is all routine. You'll have it back in no time.

Tenant-1: Oh, I believe you, don't worry 'bout that. Just fix the goddamn thing.

Lieutenant R█████: Of course. Could you please elaborate on what needs to be fixed?

Tenant-1: Well, I can't say nothin' 'bout the specifics, but I got a few, er, anecdotes, you could say, if that's what you're lookin' for.

Lieutenant R█████: Please, tell me.

Tenant-1: Well - and this is probably just me imaginin' stuff - but I always felt like I'd spend longer in there than I'd like, you know? Never had that problem anywhere else. But at home, I'd always look at the clock when I got out and just wonder where the time went. An' when it came time for bills, I'd wonder where my money went! Probably just my mind playin' tricks, though, you know? Or maybe mold.

Lieutenant R█████: Interesting. However, I understand that this is not your main cause for concern.

Tenant-1: You heard, eh? Funny how stuff gets around. Well, it was just a few days ago. I was just 'boutta take a dip in the shower, and I'd just turned the water on, so it was still pretty damn cold. So there I was, in the nude, waitin' for the shower to warm up, when who in God's name but myself stumbles from behind the curtain! Eyes wide, dongle hangin' out and all, just like me, but soaked, obviously, 'cause I, er, he just got outta the shower.

Lieutenant R█████: Very interesting. Please, continue.

Tenant-1: Now, I had no idea what in hell was goin' on, and I, er, he didn't look like he knew much better than me. We just sorta stared at each other for a few seconds. Guess he decided to move first, cause next thing I know, the guy shoved me into the shower. Now, the water was still cold as balls, so I jumped right back out as quick as I could, and who the hell did I see out there this time? Myself, again, in the nude, totally dry!

Lieutenant R█████: Now, are you absolutely confident that these people were you, in some way?

Tenant-1: One hundred and ten percent, sir.

Lieutenant R█████: Noted. Continue.

Tenant-1: Well, I was still kinda in fight-or-flight, you know? And pretty damn cold. So I did what felt natural and pushed him right through the curtain and into the shower.

Lieutenant R█████: Did you see anything happen to him once he was in the shower?

Tenant-1: No, but when I peeked in a few minutes later, it was empty. Couldn't have gone anywhere, though. I woulda noticed him.

Lieutenant R█████: Have you had any other strange experiences relating to your shower?

Tenant-1: Well, once I slipped and [EXPLETIVE REMOVED] my head for a few days.

Lieutenant R█████: I see. Well, I believe we're done here. Thank you for your time.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: Tenant-1 was administered Class-C amnestics and released from the custody of MTF Psi-7. A shower bath of a similar model to SCP-XXXX was installed at the site of recovery.

Note: Testing on several Class-D Personnel has strongly suggested that Tenant-1's injuries were a result of human error, and not related to SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties.

Dr. K██████: What is your name?

Landlord: John █████.

Dr. K██████: Hello, John. Tell me how you came into possession of your apartment.

Landlord: Well, I bought it just a few years back from some old man. Not sure quite how long - six years? Maybe seven? Can't remember off the top of my head.

Dr. K██████: Was the shower part of
