X111-2, Second Attempt
rating: 0+x

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: A fence is to surround the perimeter of SCP-XXXX, with 2 armed guards at the entrance. Any instances of SCP-XXXX-3 seen leaving are to be detained, questioned, and sent back inside.

Description: SCP-XXXX-1 is a concrete building with no external features except a pair of automatic doors and the Foundation logo painted on the front side as well as the entrance. The inside of SCP-XXXX-1 is an average hotel lobby, with a length of 15 meters, a height of 3 meters, and an unknown width. An elevator to the upper floors is located here. There are 25 26 upper floors, and 2 basement levels, making for a total of 28 29 floors.

Instances of SCP-XXXX-2 are the staff of the building. Most bear a resemblance to Foundation researchers, with differences from minor such as hair length, to major differences such as gender. They are unwilling to leave the building, and produce an auditory cognitohazard when disturbed from their work. The cognitohazard causes those who hear it to take the elevator to another floor, with what floor correlating to rank in the Foundation. The higher the floor, the higher the rank of the affected. Affected report hearing a voice commanding them to "Return to [their] room" before taking the elevator. When an instance of SCP-XXXX-2 is exposed to their respective counterpart, the instance will not produce the cognitohazard and will instead try to coax the counterpart to become an instance of SCP-XXXX-2. If accepted, then the instance will split into several pieces, which will begin to cover the counterpart, turning into a cocoon-like being. From there, the cocoon will exhibit a sound of 300 dB, dissolving the counterpart with the volume. The sound will then stop and the liquid will reform into an instance of SCP-XXXX-2, and the cocoon will turn back into the original instance.

SCP-XXXX-3 are the guests at the building, and are similar to SCP-XXXX-2 in that they are copies of SCP objects within Foundation custody, with differences major and minor. They will routinely come down to the lobby and watch shows on several televisions located throughout the lobby. These shows are similar to existing shows on television, also with several differences. Shows popular among SCP-XXXX-3 instances are The Cubicles (The Office), Nora Universe (Steven Universe), and numerous others. If harmed, they exhibit a sound that aggravates all nearby instances of SCP-XXXX-2, who will rush to protect the instance of SCP-XXXX-3. The sound has been described as "like a slide whistle, but distorted, and sounding like it's a pane of glass about to shatter".

Addendum: After exploration of basement level 2 and floor 26, it has been discovered that SCP-XXXX is a Foundation site from another universe that has come here through unknown means, and the replication process of SCP-XXXX-2 was caused by the methods used for travel here being imperfect, merging one instance with an SCP from there. The affected instance then turned the other instances into proper instances of SCP-XXXX-2. This may have also caused the numerous differences between instances and their counterparts.

(This is not the final draft, and will likely be very different from the final product.)
