SCP-5397

Item #: SCP-5397

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5397 is contained in the Site ███ laundry room. However, only botanists of security clearance level 2 or higher are allowed to open or interact with it.

Description: SCP-5397 is a standard issue GE Washing Machine. Studying the the mechanics of SCP-5397 shows no evidence of anomalous properties. When SCP-5397 is supplied with necessary utilities for a washing machine and run, one random object within SCP-5397's tub disappears approximately 1 minute into the cycle. Cycles lasting less than 1 minute seem to have no effect on objects inside.

Objects that disappear are transported into a pocket dimension within SCP-5397. At the time of the foundation's reception of SCP-5397, objects that are transported are gifted minor anomalous properties. However, we have reason to believe that for each cycle SCP-5397 runs, the less potent the gifted anomalous properties seem to be.

The pocket dimension that objects are sent to appears to be lush green filled valley that is, based on botanical data, supposedly located in the north east of the United States.

Current method of retrieval for all objects washed is to send in a D-Class personnel with a carted map of the pocket dimension inside SCP-5397 to locate and retrieve the object, returning via use of SCP-3709. Other exits from the pocket dimension remain undiscovered.

Addendum: 4/27: Researcher ████ Test Log

While a researcher was carting out a map of the pocket dimension, they came across a rickety tree house constructed of local fauna and various cloth based articles of clothing. There also seemed to be a "worrying amount of nails for supposedly being transported via washing machine."

Residing within this tree house is a 37 year old man who seemed to speak no language, and have incredibly basic, near stone age, skills.

It is theorized that this individual, now referred to as SCP-5397-0, was placed into SCP-5397 with malicious intent. However, we have no evidence of any anomalous properties possessed by SCP-5397-0.


Addendum: 4/30: Researcher ████ Test Log

During an attempted interview with SCP-5397-0, the subject became incredibly hostile when exposed to psychiatrist Tracy ██████. This lead to SCP-5397-0 being killed after severely injuring staff personnel.


Addendum: 4/31: Researcher ███ Test Log

SCP-5397-0 was discovered alive, fed and healthy within SCP-5397's pocket dimension. Apparently the subject retained all memories and was left with minor scarring near injured areas during previous termination. Further examination revealed plentiful scars across SCP-5397-0's body.
