It doesn't seem right that access to this one be unrestricted. It could be a serious security risk, so there ought to be some restriction placed on its use.

Nice small article. I like it. Although I was confused on the correlation between O5s, bathrooms, and SCP-249.
Seems to me that an 05 got an unexpecting visitor while using a nearby bathroom. That's the only explanation, otherwise it would probably say something like "bathrooms moved after blah blah incident" or "at the request of agent xyz."
Sure, this thing throws physics out the window but there's one thing that bothers me. That's the door opening to the bottom of the ocean. It would be incredibly difficult, to the point of impossibility, for anyone to close the door with hundreds of atmospheres of pressure trying to hold it open. Only other possibility is that the door opens inwards, in which case nobody would have been able to open the thing in the first place. Otherwise, seems okay.
That's what I thought too, about the water. In fact, he shouldn't even have been able to get to the door with all that water rushing in. That's pretty much all that bothers me, aside from the last entry, where an agent successfully used it in an infiltration mission. If it opens in a random door, how would that help him? Did he just keep opening it until he got where he wanted?
I really like this though, it reminds me of The Lost Room. Has anyone here seen that? It's a miniseries, with (I think) three 2-hour episodes. The Lost Room and the Objects associated with it would make quintessential SCPs, e.g. a pencil that creates a 1961 US penny when you tap the end of it on a hard surface; a bus ticket that transports any person whose skin it touches to U.S. Route 66 outside Gallup, New Mexico (just near the motel where the Lost Room is); a comb that stops time for ten subjective seconds when run through the user's hair; a nail file that induces brief unconsciousness in anyone who has light reflected from it into their eyes; etc. Hell, if the Room and the Objects were SCPs, the Cabals in the miniseries could be Groups of Interest. The Lost Room is like its own little SCP database just waiting to be written. :P
Yes! Finally someone else who knows about The Lost Room SyFy show. This article made me want to rematch it again for the seventh time. I wonder if the creators of The Lost Room know about the Foundation? I feel like Warehouse 13 was heavily influenced by aspects of the SCP Foundation.
First, it makes it sound like it was moved to a site that already exists, but it has no other SCPs in a kilometer radius. It seems more reasonable that it would simply be built as a new site.
Second, if it opens to water and pressure isn't conserved through it (it doesn't make it clear if it is), and it's a one meter by two meter doorway, there would be a force on the door of two metric tonnes, though it could be closed easily once the room finishes flooding.
If it did have that pressure, each cubic meter of water displaced through it would have the energy of 18 kilograms of TNT. That's enough to accelerate the water to 390m/s. Assuming a two square meter doorway, it works out to about 60 gigawatts, or 14 tonnes of TNT per second.
Also, I think it would be better if the addendums were more specific, but blacked out. For example, give blacked out GPS coordinates, and a blacked out name for the kind of fish in the water.
Edit: I messed up on the calculations. I mixed up kg and tonnes.
i like this, but i agree with the above points (infiltration, and water). for the latter point, perhaps it should read something like "agent engaged automated fail-safe piston to close the door". surely, the site director would require researchers to install a mechanism for closing the door remotely, just in case.
the infiltration thing just doesn't make much sense.
It's a door, that when you open it… takes you to another room. Downvoted, for that reason, and of course all the ones mentioned above.
4-12-20██: Warehouse in a destroyed city resembling ███████.
Kinda confused - they didn't actually check?
(account deleted)Also, is this supposed to be referring to a once-great "lost" city that was destroyed, like say, Atlantis, or is this suggesting that the door has time-bending possibilities? (e.g. - destroyed city resembling Detroit if such-and-such occurred). The use of the word "resembling" leaves a lot open. And as Bland pointed out, I believe the Foundation would look into something like that more.
Special Containment Procedures: Put it in a box in the desert and plant a sign so you don't forget
If I plant a sign, do I have to water it as well? :P
Meh. I never liked this one.
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
The door opened to….Atlantis…wow…hm…I wonder if it is restricted to the Earth?
Given that this item has a stated range of 850 meters how is it able to transport people to Eastern Canada, the Sahara Desert and Madagascar when these locations are thousands of kilometers apart?
