"ErrOr"
SCP-8625
Item #: SCP-8625
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8625 is to be contained in a standard Safe-class storage locker at Site-██. Testing is prohibited until further notice. Usage of SCP-8625 as a tool for interrogation is currently under consideration (see Addendum-8625.3).
Description: SCP-8625 resembles an unbranded stainless steel microwave oven. It is constructed similarly to a standard microwave oven except in the following ways:
- Its edges are connected seamlessly with no screws or other connectors apparent in its design
- No part of its body protrudes beyond its dimensions (45 x 75 x 50 cm)
- It lacks a power cable
- Its 7-segment display has a limit of 6 digits instead of the 4 typical of a standard microwave oven
- The only buttons present are 10 buttons numbered "0" through "9" and two buttons labeled "STOP" and "START"
The door cannot be opened until the following conditions have been met by the primary individual interacting with SCP-8625 (hereafter referred to as "subject"), in which case it will open automatically, displaying "dOnE" on the 7-segment display:
- Subject must input 6 valid digits (see Addendum-8625.2)
- Subject must press "START"
If the input is invalid when "START" is pressed, the door will remain closed and the display will read "ErrOr". If at any point "STOP" is pressed, the display will clear, the door will close, and any current instance of SCP-8625-A will demanifest.
When opened, the interior of SCP-8625 will contain a 30 cm-wide white ceramic plate. This plate will hold an assortment of edible components, referred to as SCP-8625-A. The temperature of each SCP-8625-A instance, as well as the temperature of each present component, can vary, ranging from -20° C to 100° C at time of retrieval. The contents of the plate differ depending on the subject's input, as well as on the subject themselves.
Addendum-8625.1 - Discovery: At 12:44 p.m. on 02/19/1997, a report was filed in Lake Creek, VA noting a “haunted microwave” at the residence of a John Uttman. Upon questioning, Uttman claimed that he’d found SCP-8625 “smack dab in the middle of my attic” a few days prior. He reportedly “punched some random numbers” on the interface and, upon pressing “START”, found the interior of the microwave to be empty, save a white ceramic plate. When the plate disappeared upon closing the microwave door, Uttman reached out to local authorities, at which point the report was intercepted by a locally embedded Foundation agent. Uttman was amnesticized and SCP-8625 was brought into Foundation custody for testing.

Addendum-8625.3 - Informal Proposal: On 03/20/1997, one day after being admitted to a Foundation mental health facility to recuperate from recent behavior, Foundation employee Dennis Spiegel gave the following note to another employee who brought it to the attention of Site Director Akagi.
That thing knows. It knows something we don't. I know the Foundation wants to know as much as it can - well, here's your chance. Open that thing and see if you still want to learn after you see whatever's in it.
Further research is required to verify Spiegel's claims.
