SCP-020 - The Dispenser

Item #: SCP-020

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures

SCP-020 is to be contained within a standard containment chamber at Site-XX. The chamber must be equipped with a security camera and monitored at all times. Access to SCP-020 is restricted to Level 3 personnel and above. Any experimentation with SCP-020 must be approved by at least two members of the Site Director's staff.

Description

SCP-020 appears as a standard, unremarkable ATM machine. The exterior is a plain metallic gray with no distinguishing features. SCP-020's anomalous properties activate when the machine is turned on.

Upon activation, SCP-020 displays a text box on its screen with the prompt "Enter object name." When a user inputs a specific object name into SCP-020, the machine dispenses a physical manifestation of the object described. The dispensed object is an exact, functional replica of the inputted item, with some exceptions where SCP-020 displays a degree of creativity or distortion. Additionally, there is a chance that any input prompt could result in SCP-020 dispensing a copy of the entire Family Guy Season 6 on VHS.

Personnel Note

Personnel ID: Dr. Karen Morris

"SCP-020 is by far the most unpredictable anomaly I've encountered in my tenure. The sheer range of objects it can produce—both mundane and bizarre—is astounding. However, the fatal consequences of certain interactions make it exceptionally dangerous. While it is fascinating to study, I strongly advise caution when working with this SCP. Its anomalous effects can be deadly, and the 'object name' response is a grim reminder of that. Let's continue to exercise the utmost care and restrict access to authorized personnel only."
