Item #: SCP-9393
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: The property surrounding SCP-9393 has been purchased by Shivani Cultivation and Produce. The field SCP-9393 occupies has been cleared and a silo has been erected around it.
The entrance to the silo will be guarded at all times to prevent inadvertent entry. A secondary containment cell has been constructed around SCP-9393, which will only be unlocked on order of the director of Site 19. The temperature and climate within the cell is controlled, and pesticides will be used as required to protect against damage to the frame of SCP-9393.
No personnel will move within two meters of the anomaly unless required for testing.
Description: SCP-9393 is a doorway in a cornfield in Hooker County, Nebraska. The frame is made from black cherry wood. From the north, the doorway appears to be filled with dark gray mist. From the south, the doorway appears completely black.
Persons who enter SCP-9393 vanish when they enter the anomaly. This disappearance lasts at least two minutes. There is no known upper limit. If and when a subject returns, they will emerge from the opposite side of the door from which they entered. At current date, there is no observable difference in the effect for subjects entering from the north or the southRef. SCP-9393 Peer Review E-mail.
Subjects that have returned from SCP-9393 report a variety of distressing scenariosRef. Interview with Agent William Harmon, often involving isolation, threats, disorientation, and surreal elements. The subjective length of time a subject spends in this scenario does not seem to correlate with the time outside observers experience.
It is unknown if the anomaly is transporting subjects to real locations or merely creating facsimiles. Harm suffered by subjects is retained on emergence from the anomalyRef. Medical Examination of Cameron Parry.
Not all subjects that return do so alive. Corpses, partial remains, personal effects, and even intangible traces have exited the doorwayRef. Partial Log of Remains.
No two subjects have reported encountering each other during these scenarios, even when entering SCP-9393 together.
Cameras that enter SCP-9393 show an apparently natural cavern. The walls are consistent with the bedrock of western Nebraska; however, seismic surveys have shown no such cavern in the area. No traces of human intrusion have been detected.
History: SCP-9393 was brought to Foundation attention after a report on NIBRSThe National Incident-Based Reporting System triggered an automated search for certain keywords teleported, portal, skinless, natal . A man named Cameron Parry had been found bloody and disoriented next to Nebraska highway 97 by state policeSee e-mail chain regarding subject acquisition.. Based on his testimony, the Foundation was able to quickly locate and contain the anomaly, and Dr. Caroline WrenRef. Excerpt from the Diary of Caroline Wren was assigned to lead the resulting investigation.
Due to a superficial resemblance to SCP-1983, it was decided to send a team in to investigate. MTF Tau-49 (Lucky Sevens) was activated, the eighth iteration to use that name. Out of twenty-five operatives, sevenRef. Statement from Agent Bradley Harris exitedRef. Statement from Agent Janet Clary SCP-9393Ref. Statement from Agent Thomas Chi alive. Identifiable remains were recovered for a further thirteen over the following seven years. The remaining five have yet to be located.
Requests for further MTF support were deniedSee Request for Forces e-mail from Dr. Wren to Director Moose. At this time, the land was purchased and an outpost was built around the anomaly, ensuring access was restricted. Dr. Caroline Wren was put in charge of testing the anomaly, while Dietrich York was instructed to institute long-term containment procedures.
Records for the mobile task force were procured, but no causal linkRef. Excerpt from the Diary of Caroline Wren could be immediately be found for either the survivors, known decedents, or missing personnel.
Interviews with the survivorsRef. Excerpt from the Diary of Caroline Wren suggested that each had experienced an entirely different location and scenario than the others. None had encountered any of the others during the events they experienced, though some saw or heard other entities that appeared humanIt is unknown if these were other persons who entered the anomaly, persons from some other source, or were created by the anomaly to cause distress..
Once the outpost was complete, the Ethics Committee approved testing using Class D personnelRef. Statement from D-42810. Dr. Wren began devising testsRef. Statement from D-39203 to determine specific aspects of the anomaly.
Early hypotheses were ultimately ruled out through exhaustive testingRef. Excerpt from the Diary of Caroline Wren. At this time, Director Moose began considering reallocating personnelSee e-mail between Director Moose and Dr. Mann to better support other research projects.
However, after six months, no solid conclusions had been reachedRef. Audio Log Between Dr. Caroline Wren and Dietrich York. After consultation with the Ethics Committee and Dr. Moose, the O5 council decided to suspend further human testingRef. Excerpt from the Diary of Caroline Wren and re-assign excess personnel for other projects. A skeleton crew was assigned to the outpost, and testing was terminatedRef. Incident Log 9000-23.
