Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard safe-level containment locker in Site-7█, and may be accessed by anyone with Level-2 or higher clearance. Tests on SCP-XXXX may be carried out, though it is believed that such tests are pointless. Proposed test do not need to be approved by any facility personnel, unless proposed by personnel with Level-2 or below clearance.

When conducting tests, it is recommended that no one shall test for extended periods of time as it has been deemed “frustrating”. If tests reveal any significant results, they must be immediately reported to any higher ranking facility personnel.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a small, golden chest (25 cm by 12.5 cm by 8cm). on top of the box is variable text inscribed on its top stating I will open to reveal myself if [Request] . SCP-XXXX demonstrates anomalous properties when humans fulfill its requests. SCP-XXXX’s inscribed requests change, depending on the circumstances. SCP-XXXX’s requests have seemed to range from room temperature, to table size, to number of humans present (See test logs).

SCP-XXXX's requests have contradicted each other, causing scientists to suspect that the box was created as a prank or joke, rather than genuine treasure. Despite this, many who begin the project feel as though there could be something important contained within the box. It is believed that the desire caused by the box is anomalous, though it is unknown whether the effect is meant to be malicious, or just curiosity.

SCP-XXXX’s text is displayed as whatever the reader’s first language is. Tests on illiterates display varying results. D-14037, a 23 year old caucasian male stated that the box made him feel “like there’s somethin’ really important init”.D-2473, a 43 year old hispanic male instantly vomited upon seeing the box. These tests have been suspended effective immediately, due to the decision by the ethics board on 5-3-1█.

1-5-1█:SCP-XXXX’s text displays a request, asking for the room to be made 37°. Scientists audibly argue about whether SCP-XXXX meant celsius. Upon re-examining SCP-XXXX the anomalous text has changed to just display the words “Celsius, Yankees.”. From this test it has been concluded that SCP-XXXX has some form of sentience, as well as a sense of humor.

1-7-1█ SCP-XXXX’s text displays “Less people, please.”. In light of the previous experiment the scientists ask how many less and keep their eyes locked with text. After 20 minutes 3/5 of the scientists leave the room. When the remaining scientists return to the box, the anomalous text has changed to say “Thanks”

1-11-1█ SCP-XXXX’s anomalous text displays the request “Make the room red”. Many scientists found this request off putting and asked it “with blood?”. Upon returning to the box, after a brief recess to discuss whether the ethics board would “Shut this shit down”. Upon re-entering the room, the anomalous text has changed to say “Paint. i want it painted with paint.”

1-16-1█ SCP-XXXX’s anomalous text displays the request “please turn down the heat, it’s awfully hot.”. The scientists lowered the temperature to 32° celsius.

From this point on SCP-XXXX’s request begin to contradict each other more often. Upon completing SCP-XXXX’s request, no significant changes are seen. 23 more requests were fulfilled after this until all personnel involved deemed it pointless.

It is unknown whether SCP-XXXX would open, should enough requests be fulfilled, though advisor: Dr.B█████ has deemed the project unworthy of foundation funds. Dr.B█████ has stated "if you want to try to open it, go ahead. I'm not going to stop you from wasting your time on a joke box". Testing on SCP-XXXX has not been officially suspended, though from 5-2-1█ to 11-7-1█ no further attempts to open SCP-XXXX have been made.
