NOTE: These were all initially published on my SCP Sandbox wiki page. They were left not fully finished and I have made no attempt to complete them here. These are probably some of the oldest pieces of creative text I ever published online.
SCP-XXXX Is a sentient branch of the SCP foundation facilities. SCP-XXXX's internal structure does not match any of those from actual facilities acknowledged by foundation staff, so it is unknown how and why it formed with such resemblance to SCP sites. SCP-XXXX Has similar structure to most general sites, as it has 3 distinct zones - them being the light containment zone, heavy containment zone, and entrance zone. It does not have a surface zone, instead having a direct entrance to the EZ via a keycard based airlock system labelled "SITE-BRAVO6 AIRLOCK ENTRANCE" in large yellow spray-painted letters. The lettering occasionally changes to say "SITE-BRAVO6 PRIMARY AIRLOCK" at random intervals. SCP-XXXX Does not contain any other SCP subjects other than SCP-XXXX-A despite having containment chambers which seem to mirror those of actual facility branches. SCP-XXXX Seems to experience frequent and intentional changes in its layout, sometimes trapping foundation personnel inside a room by removing the door. It does not seem to change when human subjects are not present within it (this was also testing with various birds and dogs, which didn't produce results).
SCP-XXXX-A appears to be an SCP-SITE19 facility guard - the key difference being that SCP-XXXX-A shows absolutely no signs of sentience, frequently going back to where they came from, running into walls, and using keycards on doors that do not require them. All known instances of SCP-XXXX-A are currently inside the only known instance of SCP-XXXX. None of them have shown signs of attempting escape (possibly because they are not sentient). SCP-XXXX-A is the only SCP subject located inside SCP-XXXX, with all of them located in SCP-XXXX's light or heavy containment zones. While they carry weapons that seem to be copies of weapons currently in use at official SCP sites, they seem to not have knowledge of how to use them, and present no threat as of now. The only word that SCP-XXXX-A has ever spoken in front of foundation personnel visiting the anomaly was "out", spoken with no accent or mistakes, with every "out" sounding exactly the same (this was confirmed with spectrogram based analysis).
Due to the full size of SCP-XXXX not currently being known at the moment, it is not reasonable to contain the subject until this information is available. While SCP-XXXX has been confirmed to shift its internal structure, it has not been observed to move its physical location. Facility personnel are currently debating whether or not containment would be necessary. In case of SCP-XXXX being confirmed to change its physical location, SHIFT-XXXX PROTOCOL has been created. SHIFT-XXXX PROTOCOL includes assigning more members towards the team and conducting faster scale research into the size of SCP-XXXX So containment can be successfully established. During SHIFT-XXXX PROTOCOL, squads of 6 class-D personnel (fitted with GPS trackers) are to roam through the facility until a dead end, at which point they must return.
All known instances (of which there are 64) of SCP-XXXX-A have shown that they are not willing to leave SCP-XXXX, and not capable of doing so even if they wanted to. As long as SCP-XXXX Is present at its current location, containment is deemed unnecessary by a majority vote of 87.4% - all votes came from the team assigned to keep watch over SCP-XXXX And include scientists and MTF members. In the possibility of SCP-XXXX-A gaining sentience, SHIFT-XXXX PROTOCOL is to be initiated even if SCP-XXXX Has not moved. As a safety precaution, at least 8 MTF members are to be inside SCP-XXXX at any given moment, so that instances of SCP-XXXX-A can be neutralised in a timely manner if necessary.
note: It is unknown as to how CW found out about SCP-XXXX Or even the SCP foundation, as they are not a member of any official foundation sites - and are not authorised to have this information.
End of interview, subject refused to cooperate and it was deemed futile to ask more questions.
A sample of SCP-XXXX Was tested by Dr. Darney on September 10th. Several parts were tested: walls, floors, ceilings, and doors. All of them (except for doors) produced anomalous results. Walls and floors were shown to be at least 730 years old - and ceilings were shown to be at least 4300 years old. These tests were performed 5 times per sample and always produced similar results. Personnel assigned to SCP-XXXX Are discussing containment procedures for SCP-XXXX And SCP-XXXX-A.)
SCP-CHICKEN-J is to be contained in an oven, as when removed, it (along with the person attempting removal) will combust. SCP-CHICKEN-J has not been observed to move on its own, but is deemed extremely likely to end the world by means of mass combustion.
SCP-CHICKEN-J appears to be any ordinary fried chicken, but it never gets stale, never rots, or cools. SCP-CHICKEN-J is a highly threatening subject, occasionally combusting things in the same room as it. Forced removal of SCP-CHICKEN-J will result in permanent combustion of remover until their termination. SCP-CHICKEN-J has been reported to light entire factories ablaze in previous encounters, and has burned SITE-LIGMA-DELTA-4 to ashes, terminating all SCP subjects within it. Due to this, SCP-CHICKEN-J is classified as an Apollyon class world-ending SCP.
Subject D-69420 enters containment chamber of SCP-CHICKEN-J, not noticing that he has already combusted. Subject D-69420 terminated, final words: "i like sand". It is interpreted that D-69420 was attempting communication with SCP-CHICKEN-J in a not-yet-known human language. Further investigation is to be continued by squad CHICKEN-17-SAND-DIVISION.
SCP-CHICKEN-J is now receiving its own hazard classification due to the fact that the subject is like no other in possession of the foundation, as well as its own object classification for the same reason.
SCP-CHICKEN-J is now officially classified as a combustohazard.
The phrase "i like sand", spoken by D-69420 shortly before termination is now assumed as a threat of causing an LK-CLASS restructuring event, followed shortly by an XK-CLASS end of the world event. Scientists Dr. John and Dr. Soaper view "i like sand" as an abstract saying with no meaning, and will therefore be permanently terminated - as such dangerous words should not be viewed lightly.
SCP-CHICKEN-J is now officially considered as object class: CHICKEN.
SCP-XXXX is a sliding mechanical door: 3m wide, 2m tall, and 30cm deep - and weighing 140kg. The door has two panels which open horizontally; both are made of an iron-tungsten alloy. The entity has a wooden rectangular frame surrounding its panels, with no slits for the panels to move through. Despite this fact, the panels of the door are able to slide open. SCP-XXXX has a small button on the right side of the frame, which causes the entity to toggle between an opening and a closing state when pressed. When closed, a low 30hz frequency can be heard by those within a small radius around the door, the volume of which slightly varies at different points throughout the day. The pressure with which SCP-XXXX's panels close has been measured to be at least 15Mpsi (refer to TEST-XXXX-B experiment log). SCP-XXXX is not capable of moving on its own, and does not display any signs of sentience.)
SCP-XXXX was discovered in an office building in ████, Michigan after the younger employees of ████ Inc. consistently reported hearing the hum mentioned in the description of the entity. There is reason to believe that several subjects have gotten appendages like arms and legs stuck in SCP-XXXX, as residues from sweat and blood were found on the inside faces of the entity's panels upon discovery. After the reports, the building was temporarily decommissioned and the door was removed by foundation agents for examination. A visually similar replacement door - known not to have anomalous properties like SCP-XXXX - was then installed, and the building put back in service.
SCP-XXXX at site of discovery. Button mechanism not visible in this orientation.
Since SCP-XXXX is not able to move, it can be held anywhere with sufficient space for it; the focus is instead on preventing it from emitting the low, 30hz hum - as the purpose of it must be studied before allowing it to occur. In order to ensure that the entity does not emit any noise, its button should be used to keep it in an open state. If this is not possible, personnel should keep SCP-XXXX in a sound-proofing case large enough to fit it. Ideally, a member of foundation staff would also watch over SCP-XXXX to prevent it from closing on its own, though this behavior has never been recorded.
A member of class-D, D-18748, is placed in a vacant room with SCP-XXXX in the open state. Foundation agent "RJC" is observing from behind a window of bulletproof glass. D-18748 is instructed to place a series of objects inside SCP-XXXX, and then switch it into the closing state.
Subject D-18784 was given an amnestic agent after this experiment.
Two members of class-D, D-18784 and D-3899, are placed in a vacant room with SCP-XXXX. Foundation agent "D. Q. Jones" is observing from behind a window of bulletproof glass. D-18784 is instructed to place microscopic graphene sheets inside SCP-XXXX, and switch it into a closing state. D-3899 is then instructed to stand inside SCP-XXXX, while D-18784 switches it into a closing state.

SCP-XXXX is to be stored in a keycard-locked metal safe which can only be unlocked by high-level foundation personnel. It should be stored right-side-up, such that its handle is facing upwards, and its base downwards.
SCP-XXXX is not sentient and incapable of movement, but its abilities present significant temptation to observed subjects. As the psycholinguistic implications of repeatedly using SCP-XXXX are not known, all unauthorized interaction is to be kept to a minimum. Should unauthorized personnel attempt to use SCP-XXXX, surrounding personnel should attempt to look inside it, as to render usage impossible.
SCP-XXXX is a small woven basket with an arching handle that reaches from one end of its rim to the other. The basket is roughly circular with a ~25cm diameter and a height of ~12cm. The handle part of SCP-XXXX is semicircular, with the projected circle matching the diameter of the basket.
Subjects will find nothing unusual about SCP-XXXX if the inside of it is being visually observed, either by the subject or someone else. If, however, noone is looking at the internal compartment of SCP-XXXX's basket, it is possible to reach into it far deeper than euclidean geometry should allow. The unobserved depth of SCP-XXXX is ~30cm, and anything placed inside of SCP-XXXX while unobserved is permanently lost upon the next observation (see TEST-XXXX-B).
When reaching into SCP-XXXX in its unobserved state, subjects may feel around the walls and base of its basket. Should they inspect the base of the basket (not visually but through kinesthetic means), the subject may be able to feel an object. The object may range in size and shape, but will always be sized appropriately to be taken out by hand. When this object is taken out of SCP-XXXX, it will be a small handicraft representative of a random culture of the world - and the subject who removed it will immediately become fluent in one of the languages of that culture. However, they will be incapable of using it until they identify the name of language in their native tongue. Once identified, fluency in this language will persist through application of amnestics, which suggests a deeper psychological effect.)
SCP-XXXX was retrieved in 2006 from the house of a locally-known Belarusian polyglot in the southwest Brest region, Sergey █████, after his death. On account of his abnormally wide knowledge of global languages - including those for which proper learning resources are not known to exist - as well as his anomalously fast speed of acquisition, █████ has been under under watch by the foundation since 1982, due to the perceived possibility of him being an anomalous entity. SCP-XXXX was one of twelve "out of place" items found in his house, and was taken by a covert SCP foundation task force.
Upon inspection, all of the other objects had no apparent anomalous properties, but SCP-XXXX did. When things were put into it, they would disappear as soon as SCP-XXXX's internal compartment was no longer being observed. This lead to further investigation of SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties.
