Special Containment Procedures: At all times a VDA and GPS locator are to be affixed to SCP-XXXX's exterior wall. Should SCP-XXXX shift to another location, the on-site director closest to its previous location is to alert agents to be on the watch for the reappearance of SCP-XXXX. Once the location is found MTF Gama-13 is to enforce a perimeter around SCP-XXXX and administer class B amnestics to witnesses of SCP-XXXX's appearance. SCP-XXXX-1 is to interview each shift in hopes of discovering more about SCP-XXXX.
Following Incident-XXXX-B, a fenced perimeter is to be maintained around SCP-XXXX at the anomalous object storage Site-174. SCP-XXXX-1 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment chamber at Site-158. SCP-XXXX-2 is to be kept at Site-174 for further research for anomalous abilities. Any request made by SCP-XXXX-1 to visit the grave is to be denied.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an extradimensional building with a red and green neon sign above the door labeled "Craig and John's." SCP-XXXX is capable of shifting between alternate dimensions at the control of SCP-XXXX-1 however, the method of how it accomplishes this is unknown. When a VDA (Voltic Dimensional Anchor) is affixed to SCP-XXXX it will lose the ability to shift between dimensions, however, it will still retain the ability to shift to other locations in the anchored dimension. The inside of SCP-XXXX resembles that of a small bar, with booths, and stools, SCP-XXXX also contains a restroom and a backroom, however, the backroom has proven to only be accessible to SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX's bar holds numerous alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well as beer taps and a coffee machine.

SCP-XXXX-1 is a 38-year-old Caucasian male who has yet to be identified by any government database however, they will respond to the name "Craig". SCP-XXXX-1 has yet to demonstrate any anomalous abilities and is generally unknowledgeable as to how SCP-XXXX functions. SCP-XXXX-1 has a friendly and welcoming demeanor often telling jokes or stories during interviews. SCP-XXXX-1 acts as the bartender for SCP-XXXX The ownership of which is shared between SCP-XXXX-1 and its brother SCP-XXXX-2.

SCP-XXXX-2 is the brother of SCP-XXXX-1 and is said to have given SCP-XXXX its extradimensional travel capabilities, however, this is not possible to confirm nor test because of the state of SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-1 shows very high esteem for SCP-XXXX-2 as proven by the measures of preventing access to the individual. It has been said by SCP-XXXX-1 and proven by security footage that SCP-XXXX is under the management of an unknown individual, this unknown person of interest is hereafter referred to as PoI-777.

While not much is know about PoI-777, Interviews with SCP-XXXX-1 and security footage have provided insight into its apparent nature. PoI-777 is described as a male of indeterminate height, appearance, and age, however, PoI-777 has been consistently described wearing a maroon-colored suit and hat when sighted. It has been noted by SCP-XXXX-1 that PoI-777 has some degree of control over SCP-XXXX, whether or not this is by anomalous means is unknown.

Discovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered when it shifted outside Secure Foundation Site-158. 30 minutes after the shift MTF Gama-13 entered, secured SCP-XXXX, and detained SCP-XXXX-1. However, they attempted to escort SCP-XXXX-1 out of SCP-XXXX the doors shut and were unable to be opened by any conventional methods. When SCP-XXXX-1 was released MTF Gama-13 was once again able to leave. When questioned as to why this occurred SCP-XXXX-1 remarked on the new management of SCP-XXXX. In the securement of SCP-XXXX, multiple items were recovered, most notable being

• An unloaded handgun of unknown make and model.
• Identification card belonging to SCP-XXXX-1, registered in an unknown country.
• Map of the earth with many locations circled in red including Foundation Site-158.
• $10 USD as well as multiple bills are written in an unknown language.

Interview-XXXX-A: After MTF Gama-13 determined that SCP-XXXX wasn't a threat to site operations, Research Specialist Dr. Rosen Holt was sent to conduct an interview with SCP-XXXX-1.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1

Interviewer: Dr. Holt

Foreword: SCP-XXXX-1 was interviewed approximately 5 hours after SCP-XXXX's discovery. The interview took place within SCP-XXXX.

<Begin Log, 1:23 pm>

As soon Dr. Holt enters SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX-1 comes out from the backroom looking very uneasy but becomes excited when he sees Dr. Holt.

SCP-XXXX-1: Hey there! Welcome! Sit down! You thirsty?

Dr. Holt: No thank you, I've come here for an interview actually.

SCP-XXXX-1: Oh sure! I've always been one for storytelling. have a seat at a booth over there.

Dr. Holt and SCP-XXXX-1 sit down on opposite sides of a booth.

Dr. Holt: Are you the owner of this place?

SCP-XXXX-1: Sure am. Started running this place a while ago with my brother John.

SCP-XXXX-1 points to a framed photo of SCP-XXXX-1 with SCP-XXXX-2 who appears to be i their late 20's.

SCP-XXXX-1: Been on all kinds of adventures in here.

Dr. Holt: Do you know how this place gained its abilities?

SCP-XXXX-1: Oh sorry, I'm not sure how it does what it does, my brother was the one who found and fixed up the place.

Dr. Holt: Can I speak to him?

SCP-XXXX-1 appears visibly uncomfortable.

SCP-XXXX-1: Sorry, but he hasn't worked for a while. He's a bit scraped up after an incident that happened 5 or so years back.

Dr. Holt: I'm sorry to hear that.

SCP-XXXX-1: It's ok, the simplest of mistakes can have disastrous outcomes as he used to say. Used to think that it was a stupid saying, doesn't feel so stupid now.

Dr. Holt: You say he found it, do you know where?

SCP-XXXX-1: Now that is a funny story.

Dr. Holt: I'm sure it is, I would love to hear it

SCP-XXXX-1: So my brother and I lived in a dimension called Navvärld, well I suppose that's not technically what it's called but it's what the locals of our district called it. We lived in a poor kinda place in our world. We would always rummage through the landfills and such just to make ends meet, but one day on a trash run John just found it there, half blown apart, and he just runs in there with his hammer and screwdriver and says "Craig buddy, we found a new life." As long as I breathe I'll never forget that moment, of how happy he looked. Then all we had to do was get a dimensional product selling license and, well, ten years later, here we are.

SCP-XXXX-1 takes a sip of beer from the mug on the table as Dr. Holt quickly writes in his notepad.

Dr. Holt: We saw that you had a map with Site-158 marked on it, how did you find out about this Site?

SCP-XXXX-1: A customer actually told me, well, I say customer but they didn't order anything, they just came in and asked if they could stay there until he had to leave. Figured I might as well let him stay, he was a real talkative fella, told me a small bit about this place and I figured I may as well try and serve some drinks here.

Dr. Holt: What happened to him?

SCP-XXXX-1: Honestly, no clue, he got up to use the restroom and just disappeared,

Dr. Holt: Did he tell you who he was?

SCP-XXXX-1: Nah don't think so, or if he did I forgot, had a weird-looking jumpsuit though.

Dr. Holt: Hm, odd, we'll have to look more into that. One more question for today. What is in that backroom over there?

SCP-XXXX-1: I can't really talk about it.

Dr. Holt: Can't or won't?

SCP-XXXX-1: I won't talk about it. I'm really sorry.

Dr. Holt: Is it a security threat?

SCP-XXXX-1: Oh no it's really nothing like that, just something very personal to me. I'm sorry.

Dr. Holt: Well then I suppose we are done here. We'll discuss that room some other time. Have a nice day.

<End Log, pm>

+Interview-XXXX-B

Interview-XXXX-C: Approximately 18 hours after Interview-XXXX-A, SCP-XXXX disappeared from Site-158. Field agents spotted SCP-XXXX 5 km north of Miami, Florida. MTF Gamma-13 secured SCP-XXXX and administered Class B amnestics to witnesses and patrons in SCP-XXXX as well as affixing a GPS locator to the VDA suck to the outside of the building. 3 hours after securing SCP-XXXX Interview-XXXX-B was conducted.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1

Interviewer: Dr. Holt

Foreword: Dr. Holt was advised to attempt to mount a hidden camera in hopes of viewing the contents of the backroom. SCP-XXXX-1 interviewed approximately 3 hours after SCP-XXXX's rediscovery. The interview took place within SCP-XXXX.

<Begin Log, 7:30 am>

SCP-XXXX-1 was wiping the bar with a rag but quickly noticed Dr. Holt as he entered.

SCP-XXXX-1: Oh hey it's you again! Come to have a drink?

Dr. Holt: God no, far too early for drinks. We actually still have a couple of questions for you if you have the time.

SCP-XXXX-1: I don't see why not, slow business day anyway. Go sit in one of the booths and I'll be right over.

Dr. Holt sits in a booth while SCP-XXXX-1 enters the backroom. After SCP-XXXX-1 left Dr. Holt stands on the booth and mounts the hidden camera facing the backroom. Dr. Holt Sits back down and 3 minutes later SCP-XXXX-1 emerges from the backroom and walks over to sit in a booth.

SCP-XXXX-1: Sorry about that, just checking on something. So what did you want to ask about?

Dr. Holt: Are you aware that you are now in a completely different location?

SCP-XXXX-1: Yup, moved here since none of you were stopping by for drinks, which I don't mind, you people seem like nice folk, but I need to get more money fast. Ya gotta do what you gotta do right?

Dr. Holt: Sorry, it's a rule that we can't. It's Nothing personal.

SCP-XXXX-1: Oh yeah no problem, although Weird thing is, I tried moving the place to a different dimension, but I couldn't get it outta this one, weird huh? Oh well, my deadline is still a couple days away so I got time to sell so drinks in this one.

Dr. Holt: It certainly is quite strange, If you don't mind my asking, why such an urgency to make money, what is the deadline?

SCP-XXXX-1 begins to look nervous and shifts around in his seat

SCP-XXXX-1: Uh, well, I really shouldn't talk about the money side of things with customers, boss doesn't really like that.

Dr. Holt: Boss? I was under the impression you were the owner.

SCP-XXXX-1: I don't know, not sure it's best to talk about it.

Dr. Holt: Please, any information you can give us would really help us understand this place better.

SCP-XXXX-1: Alright, ok, but is a bit of a tricky situation. About 5 years back this place picked up a new manager after an incident, and, well, let's just say he keeps bumping up the rent.

Dr. Holt: I see, who is this manager if you don't mind me asking?

SCP-XXXX-1: I don't really know, I've only ever seen him a couple of times in person. Easy to spot though, he always wears that same Maroon suit and hat getup. He usually only shows up when I'm behind on payments. Thank god for that too, I have a heart attack just about every time he walks through the front door. It doesn't help that every time I ask when I'll be done with the payments he just tells me he'll let me know when I'm done, he's never given me an amount.

Dr. Holt: Does this manager know how this place works?

SCP-XXXX-1: I don't think so, not many people do, only John was really able to figure that stuff out.

Dr. Holt: An interview with him would really help us out, do you have any idea as to when he'll be better?

SCP-XXXX-1: I'm afraid I'm not sure. I'm sorry.

Dr. Holt: It's alright, what can you tell me about your brother?

SCP-XXXX-1 becomes noticeably more relaxed and begins to lightly smirk

SCP-XXXX-1: He was a stubborn bastard, stubborn and smart, never backed down from anything, even though he definitely should have some times.

SCP-XXXX-1 lightly chuckles and takes a sip of beer.

SCP-XXXX-1: Even though I'm the oldest of us, I learned a lot from him, he even taught me how to pilot this place, albeit not very well, although that's more my fault than his, I always was the fool of the family.

Dr. Holt smiles and looks down at his notepad to write.

Dr. Holt: Sounds like a good man.

SCP-XXXX-1: Maybe not all the time, but he has his moments.

Dr. Holt shuts his notepad and stands.

Dr. Holt: Well I think that would be all for today, now if you excuse me I have a meeting with some higher-ups.

SCP-XXXX-1: Good luck with your meeting!

<End Log, 7:56 am>
Closing Statements: Not much was able to be recorded of the backroom as it is quite dimly lit near the door, for the time being, the camera will remain active.

+Interview-XXXX-C

Interview-XXXX-D: 46 hours after Interview-XXXX-B was conducted, SCP-XXXX once again shifted to an unknown location. The affixed GPS locator was detected sending signals from numerous locations on earth about 2 minutes apart until subsiding in Sochi, Russia. Containment procedures enacted at SCP-XXXX's location. Interview-XXXX-C was conducted 3 hours after the shift.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1

Interviewer: Dr. Holt

Foreword: Interview took place within SCP-XXXX.

<Begin Log, 8:23 pm>

As Dr. Holt walks in, SCP-XXXX-1 sits down in a booth and motions Dr. Holt over to sit down which Dr. Holt promptly does. SCP-XXXX-1 appears panicked and is sweating profusely.

SCP-XXXX-1: Did your guys do this?

Dr. Holt: And what is it you are referring to?

SCP-XXXX-1: I don't know but whatever you did but I can't leave this dimension. I'm stuck here and all I can do is blindly hop around. I've checked the engine but there's nothing wrong with it, so if it's not the engine, the only other possibility is you guys.

Dr. Holt: I'm sorry to hear that, but I have no idea what's happened, perhaps if we knew more about the technology we could help.

SCP-XXXX-1: You're right, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have accused you like that, but can your people at the very least allow me to open for business? The payment is only a couple hours away from now and I haven't even gotten half of what I owe. Please, I don't want to lose everything.

Dr. Holt: I'm really sorry, but we can't let you do that. It's against our policy, and if you were to be open we would not be able to study this place.

SCP-XXXX-1 become visibly agitated and stands up to slam his fist onto the table.

SCP-XXXX-1: GOD DAMNIT, don't you see? I have everything on the line here! It's not just your science project!

After the outburst SCP-XXXX-1 sits back down and takes a deep breath as tears start well up in his eyes.

SCP-XXXX-1: I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled like that it's just, it's been hard with everything that's happened. How about a free drink on the house as an apology?

Dr. Holt: It's alright, work in a job like mine a being yelled at is the least of your problems.

SCP-XXXX-1: I… I, just, don't know what to do.

Dr. Holt: I'll tell you what, I'm going to talk to someone, and I'll see if there is something we can do to help without breaking protocol.

SCP-XXXX-1: Thank you.

<End Log, 8:53 pm>
<Closing Statement> SCP-XXXX-1 appears to be getting desperate as well as more aggressive which would explain the last shift of SCP-XXXX, something about this just doesn't feel right to me. -Dr. Rosen Holt

Site Director Smithson
I am aware of the potential information we could gain from SCP-XXXX if we were to stay down our current path, however, the ethics of the file are I feel are moving into a grey area. My proposal is that we could supply some funds to SCP-XXXX-1, that way we would still possibly keep getting information because If we keep going down this path I doubt we'll have a chance for more interviews. It's immoral to just stand around as an innocent man has his life fall apart, what are we if we are not human enough to care for our fellow man?

Dr. Rosen Holt
I didn't think I would have to remind you that we are already running out of budget for this investigation. You claim our actions to be immoral but to what end? We have no idea what will happen when SCP-XXXX-1 can't pay, not to mention the fact that despite multiple interviews we still have little to no idea about the anomalous nature of SCP-XXXX, we are going nowhere, and were we to assist SCP-XXXX-1 we would still learn nothing, end of discussion. You're getting too attached to this, I should not have to remind you it is not your fellow man, It is an SCP, I'm reassigning you to the seminar position starting tomorrow, until you get your head straight I'll be conducting the interviews from now on.

+Incident-XXXX-A_Transcript

Incident-XXXX-A: 18 hours after Interview-XXXX-C, SCP-XXXX shifted to the middle of a field 32 km outside of Topeka, Kansas. Dr. Smithson was sent¹ to conduct a standard interview with SCP-XXXX-1, two MTF Gama-13 members accompanying him in case of SCP-XXXX-1 becoming aggressive again. Once Dr. Smithson had arrived at SCP-XXXX's location, they witnessed SCP-XXXX-1 leaving the backroom of SCP-XXXX holding a corpse and sobbing profusely. SCP-XXXX-1 proceeded to place the body into an empty grave and bury it. With SCP-XXXX-1 now being outside of SCP-XXXX MTF Gamma-13 attempted to incapacitate SCP-XXXX-1, however, SCP-XXXX-1 was able to enter SCP-XXXX and shift to a then-unknown location.

After digging up the body it was identified that the body's appearance exactly matches that of the man in the framed photo with SCP-XXXX-1, confirming it to be SCP-XXXX-2. The cause of death was determined to be a single 44. caliber gunshot wound in his abdomen. However, later autopsy revealed that the subject had severe skin and lung cancer, with numerous tumors prevalent on the body, All of the cancerous cells show they had developed somewhere around 5 years prior to death. The body was moved to secure storage Site-174.

It was recently discovered that the night before Incident-XXXX-A security cameras outside of SCP-XXXX as well as the camera placed by Dr. Holt recorded a humanoid entity believed to be PoI-777 entering SCP-XXXX.

Transcript: Recording from the hidden camera mounted in SCP-XXXX placed by Dr. Holt.
<Begin Transcript 2:20 am>

<2:20> As PoI-777 enters SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX-1 watches them while guarding the door to the backroom.

<2:20> PoI-777: Well, well, well, if it ain't the fella who can't keep track of time.

<2:20> PoI-777 continues toward the backroom as SCP-XXXX-1 blocks the way with his body.

<2:21> SCP-XXXX-1: Please don't do this, It doesn't have to be this way.

<2:21> PoI-777: Where's my money, Craig? I've been dealin with some high hat clients of late, so I ain't keen to be made into no fool, Ya dig?

<2:22> SCP-XXXX-1: One more month, I swear, one more month is all I need to get the money together.

<2:22> PoI-777: Craig buddy, you're on your third extension, ya never pay your scratch on time. It's makin me look bad, like I'm the kinda guy who lets this stuff slip through the cracks. Speakin of which, where's that good for nothin thief brother of yours?

<2:23> SCP-XXXX-1: If you do this you'll lose us, you won't get any more revenue for whatever the hell you do.

<2:23> PoI-777: You must be a real sap to think that's gonna sway me. Hell havin you around is costing me more than you even pay!

<2:24> SCP-XXXX-1: Come on boss there has got to be some way to-

<2:24> PoI-777: Enough! I've had an earful of you, I'm only gonna ask once more, where've you stashed him? I just wanna talk to the fella.

<2:24> PoI-777 slowly moves his blazer to show a hidden holster and hesitantly SCP-XXXX-1 turns and slowly enters the backroom. After a couple of seconds, SCP-XXXX-1 returns with a thin, bald, tumor covered man leaning against SCP-XXXX-1 and slowly limping along before coming to a stop and leaning against the bar.

<2:26> PoI-777: Long time no see John old pal, ya lookin good.

<2:26> The man coughs and wheezes.

<2:26> Brother: (Through strained voice) Fuck you.

<2:27> The PoI-777 quietly chuckles and slowly leans toward the man.

<2:27> PoI-777: Let me ask ya somethin fella, say it were five years back, you were on that flat grassy meadow, knowin what ya do now, would you still have reached for your holster?

<2:28> The man slowly lifts his head to look at PoI-777 and spat at it's face. PoI-777 slowly leans back and grabs a rag from the bar to wipe away the saliva.

<2:29> PoI-777: No hard feelins then.

<2:30> PoI-777 reaches into its blazer's holster to pull out a 44. caliber revolver and shoves it against the man's abdomen, a loud ring blares out before the man drops to the ground with SCP-XXXX-1 kneeling down to cradle the body in his arm while starting to tear up. PoI-777 then turns toward the door and begin walking, at the door, it turns around to look at SCP-XXXX-1.

<2:32> PoI-777: Oh yeah one more thing, last month you asked when the payments would stop, consider that one your last.

<2:32> PoI-777 exits the building and walks out of view of the outside camera as SCP-XXXX-1 stares at the door speechless and teary-eyed.

<End Transcript 2:33>

Closing Statement: After discovering the footage a research team was sent to reinvestigate the location for signs of the PoI-777 however nothing was found other than a couple of shoe prints by shoes of an unknown brand and make. It is also important to note that in the recorded footage from both cameras PoI-777 face is corrupted by either missing pixels or a blurring effect. Further research into the PoI-777 is underway.

+Incident-XXXX-B_transcript 

Incident-XXXX-B: After Incident-XXXX-A, SCP-XXXX Shifted to Site-158 where Dr. Holt had been giving a seminar. As per standard procedure after the seminar Dr. Holt was sent to interview SCP-XXXX-1 with Agent Coleman of MTF Gamma-13 providing backup. Incident occurred after entering SCP-XXXX.

<Closing Statement> After Incident-XXXX-B, it was discovered that the backroom of SCP-XXXX was unlocked, inside was two beds,² numerous pill opened pill bottles, and an unknown large metal device hooked up to several monitors displaying various maps and a keyboard. Suspecting the device to be the source of SCP-XXXX's anomalous ability, SCP-XXXX was sent to Site-174 to be further researched. SCP-XXXX-1 was contained in a non-anomalous humanoid cell in Site-158, when interviews are attempted SCP-XXXX-1 refuses to speak about anything related to SCP-XXXX or PoI-777.
