Thermostator's sad attempt

Item: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: safe


Special Containment Procedures: The area surrounding SCP-XXXX is to be made inaccessible under the disguise of private property of a rich family.

If anyone is seen in the area, they are to be interrogated and dealt with accordingly.


Description: SCP-XXXX is a 3km² corn field located near Indianapolis. SCP-XXXX was originally known as the Kassel residence, founded in 1793. There is a mansion in the center of SCP-XXXX. It was abandoned in 1952 due to a plumbing problem which led to the entire east wing collapsing, killing most of the inhabitants.

The mansion can only be accessed through a maze in the corn field. The maze appears different every time it is entered. When viewed from above, the maze is not visible.

The entrance of the maze is covered by a 10m long tunnel consisting of metal bars covered in vines, which obscure vision to the inside. Once a subject passes this point, they will no longer be visible to the outside. The corn inside of SCP-XXXX is impossible to remove, and if anything mechanical is used to attempt this, the mechanism will break.

If a subject passes through the corn instead of following the maze, they will be killed by unknown methods. If the mansion is attempted to reach by helicopter, the crew will disappear before reaching the maze, and all recording equipment on board will be corrupted.

The mansion is inhabited by a seemingly undead elderly woman referred to as SCP-XXXX-2, who appears to be some form of guard. Nobody has made it past her, but enough information about the area she guards is known to have a general concept of what her purpose is. Information about SCP-XXXX-2 is acquired using a hidden surveillance camera.

SCP-XXXX-2 guards an area of the mansion highly reminiscent of a slaughterhouse. The area is filled with cages, each containing an unidentified human. SCP-XXXX-2 regularly shows up to give these prisoners food. The food's composition is unknown, but the prisoners are very reluctant to eat it, despite appearing malnourished.

SCP-XXXX-2 sometimes picks 13 prisoners, which she takes to another room in a queue. It is not known what happens to these prisoners, but they are not seen of again once taken away.

Despite hatever SCP-XXXX-2 attempts to accomplish during these events not being known, she does not appear to act violently towards the prisoners even if they attempt to escape. SCP-XXXX-2 usually grabs them by the neck, draggibg them back to the queue.
