within the microwave. Therefore, an input of 30 seconds would 
cause the microwave to run for 30 seconds, at the end of which the 
object will have aged 30 seconds. Each subsequent power level 
past 1 causes an exponential increase of the acceleration of time. At 
power level 2 with an input of 30 seconds, the microwave will run for 
30 seconds and the contents will have aged 900 seconds (15 
minutes) or 30*30 seconds. At power level 5, with an input of 999 
seconds, the microwave will run for 999 seconds, and the contents 
will have aged 995,009,990 ,004,999 seconds (31,529,964 years). 


Experimentation with the other buttons on the microwave have not 
resulted in any anomalous properties, although they do still function 
as would be expected from a normal microwave. The "minute +" 
button, for example, adds 60 seconds, and the "defrost" function 
prompts the user to open the door and flip the contents periodically. 
Pressing the "minute +" button during operation, however, does not 
recalculate the adjusted time acceleration, merely causing the 
contents to age at the pre-calculated rate for another 60 seconds. 
(eg: Power Level 2 for 30 seconds would age for 900 seconds (15 
minutes), input of "minute +" would result in the microwave running 
for 90 seconds and aging the contents 2700 seconds (45 minutes), 
or 3(30*30), instead of aging the contents for 8100 seconds (135 
minutes), or 90*90). 


SCP-119 can be dismantled, and replacement parts can be 
substituted for every component except the magnetron. When 
placing the magnetron in any other microwave, including duplicates 
of the same model, the magnetron continues to exhibit time 
acceleration. However, replicating the effects of anything above 
power level 2 have failed in every model except the original 
microwave in which the magnetron was found. 


Although SCP-119, like all standard microwave models, will normally 
only function when the door is closed, during deconstruction it was 
determined that disabling the closing mechanism allows the device 
to work while open. Subsequent testing determined that the 
radiation emitted from SCP-119 has a fallout pattern very similar to 
the microwave radiation it replaced. However, further experiments 
operating SCP-119 while open now require the approval of a 
Clearance Level 4 personnel. 


Addendum: After subsequent testing, it has been determined that 
the accelerated time experienced within SCP-119 is not accelerated 
from the perspective of those being affected, instead causing the 
occupants to perceive that they are simply staying inside of the 
microwave for the adjusted duration. Should living creatures be 
exposed to SCP-119 for extended durations, they could quite quickly 
die of starvation, as they will require as much sleep and food as they 
would outside of SCP-119. Therefore, further experimentation with 
living beings now requires the approval of a Clearance Level 4 
personnel. 


Furthermore, due to the possibility of micro-organisms undergoing 
accelerated evolution within SCP-119, industrial-grade disinfectant 
has now been added to the containment procedure for SCP-119.

TEST LOG SCP-119 


CONTENTS: Cup of lukewarm coffee 

TIME INPUT: 60 seconds 

POWER LEVEL: 1 

TEST RESULTS: Agent attempted to reheat his coffee. 
Microwave activated and ran for 1 minute; coffee was 
still cool upon removal. 


CONTENTS: Cup of lukewarm coffee 

TIME INPUT: 60 seconds 

POWER LEVEL: 4 

TEST RESULTS: Agent increased power level, 
assuming the first setting was too weak. Microwave 
activated and ran for 1 minute. Upon opening the door, 
agent discovered his coffee had grown a thick layer of 
mold and scum, consistent with the amount that would 
be expected from leaving a cup of coffee out for 5 
months. At this point, the agent brought the microwave to 
the attention of the Foundation. 


CONTENTS: Stopwatch 

TIME INPUT: 30 seconds 

POWER LEVEL: 1, 2, 3, 4,5 

TEST RESULTS: Series of tests conducted to determine 
effects of various power levels on time fluctuation. 
Resulting time on stopwatch was :30, 15:00, 7:30:00, 
and 99:99:99. There was no result for the last test, as the 
battery had died. Subsequent test using a more powerful 


stopwatch with a larger display resulted in 9 days 9 
hours and 281 days 6 hours for the last two settings. 


CONTENTS: Rattus Norvegicus (common lab rat) 
TIME INPUT: 60 

POWER LEVEL: 4 

TEST RESULTS: Testing had expected the subject to 
age five months. Upon starting the timer, subject became 
a blur, barely visible in its rapid movement around the 
container. At :03, subject ceased all movement. At :05, 
subject began rotting rapidly. Testing was halted at :10, 
and SCP-119 is cleaned of excrement and remains of 
subject. Cause of death was determined to be 
dehydration. 


CONTENTS: Rattus Norvegicus (common lab rat), small 
cage with lining, external automatic food/water dispenser 
filled with 5 months of food/water attached to tubes 
routed through air vent. 

TIME INPUT: 60 

POWER LEVEL: 4 

TEST RESULTS: Upon starting the timer, subject 
became a blur, rapidly moving throughout its cage. Both 
the food and water supplies drained from their containers 
rapidly. At 60 seconds, subject was found to be dirty due 
to its uncleaned cage, but otherwise fine. SCP-119 
cleaned. Examination revealed subject to be in poor 
health due to its living conditions in the uncleaned cage, 
but with no abnormalities. 


CONTENTS: 1L of water in a shallow glass bowl. 
Temperature in room containing SCP-119 lowered to 
AeG: 

TIME INPUT: 600 

POWER LEVEL: 5 

TEST RESULTS: Time inside SCP-119 intended to be 
approximately 24.7 years, with an initial input of 60 
seconds. Test intended to determine the difference of 
atmosphere and heat transfer between the inside and 
outside of SCP-119, as demonstrated by the evaporation 


of water at near-freezing temperatures. The research 
assistant entering the time added an extra zero, which 
would bring the total time up to 2,465,753 years, or over 
four thousand years a second. Upon pressing START, 
an immense amount of air began to cycle through the 
vent. The assistant immediately recognized his mistake 
and opened the door to stop the timer, at which point a 
wave of bluish spores emitted from SCP-119 and onto 
the assistant. The assistant began to choke and quickly 
asphyxiated. Subsequent testing on atmospheric 
conditions revealed low oxygen and high carbon dioxide 
levels, as well as elevated levels of sulfur. The spores 
were found to be an unknown Xerophillic species of 
mold. Within SCP-119 was a dense ecosystem of molds 
and tardigrades (water bears), along with numerous 
other unknown species, some of which do not neatly fit 
within existing categories. The entire ecosystem has 
created a balanced atmosphere, and seems to have 
stemmed from the original contents of the water, air, and 
the assistant. 


In light of this test, containment procedures have been 
updated to include industrial disinfectant. 


CONTENTS: None. Door is removed from microwave for 
duration of this experiment. SCP-119 placed in the 
middle of a large Faraday cage room with freshly painted 
floor, using paint that changes color as it dries. 

TIME INPUT: 30 

POWER LEVEL: 3 

TEST RESULTS: SCP-119 remotely activated, and all 
testing observed remotely. Resultant paint pattern 
demonstrated the falloff of radiation from the microwave. 
The paint closest to the front of the door demonstrating 8 
hours of drying, and the furthest section of the floor 
behind the microwave demonstrated closer to 2 hours of 
drying. 


CONTENTS: None. Door is removed from microwave for 
duration of this experiment. SCP-119 is placed in the 


middle of a large Faraday cage room with dried paint. 
Lightweight floating debris and dust is released into the 
room through a vent. 

TIME INPUT: 30 

POWER LEVEL: 3 

TEST RESULTS: SCP-119 is remotely activated, and all 
testing observed remotely. A pattern of complex air 
currents reflecting the pattern left by the paint emerges 
as individual particles float between stronger and weaker 
radiation. The radiation did not actually apply any force 
to the particles, but rather affected their momentum in 
relation to each other, eventually evolving into a 
detectable air current pattern. 


CONTENTS: SCP-442 

TIME INPUT: 90 

POWER LEVEL: 5 

TEST RESULTS: SCP-442 continued to keep the 
correct time during the entire duration, showing 1 minute 
and 30 seconds of time passing over the course of the 
experiment. 


CONTENTS: SCP-289 

TIME INPUT: 90 

POWER LEVEL: 5 

TEST RESULTS: None. Permission to carry out 
experiment denied. 


Not funny. Do we really need to explain why that is a bad 
idea? You already know exactly what that would do. -O5- 


CONTENTS: Bottle of Macallan 12-year Scotch 

TIME INPUT: 60 

POWER LEVEL: 5 

TEST RESULTS: During previous tests, researchers had 
been joking that they should "nuke" themselves a drink, 
and one researcher retrieved a bottle of Macallan from 
his quarters. The 12-year vintage is relatively 
inexpensive to obtain, but the 25- and 30-year vintages 
are considered by some to be the best of all scotch 


commercially available. Upon completion of test, bottle 
was effectively a 37-year vintage. Intention of test had 
been to consume during subsequent tests, but at this 
point the intent had been heard by a superior, who 
allowed the researchers to keep the bottle as long as 
they waited until off duty to consume it. 


Subsequent testing determined that the results of this 
experiment were delicious. - Dr. Grant 


It would seem Dr. Grant is a rather poor whiskey 
connoisseur, as whiskey does not age outside of the 
barrel. Your delicious experiment resulted in a 37-year 
old bottle of 12-year aged scotch. Well done. - Dr. Derel 


| stand by my initial assessment. Delicious. - Dr. Grant 


SCP-120: Teleporting Paddling Pool 


Item #: SCP-120 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to its importance to the 
Foundation, SCP-120 is to be kept under video surveillance and 
armed guard at all times. Any personnel attempting to utilize the 
item without authorisation are to be terminated immediately. All 
personnel wishing to use the item are required to submit a filled 
copy of the application form (Document #120-23) to facility 
operators. 


Due to the precise timing and coordination required for efficient use 
of this object in an emergency, all personnel entering SCP-120’s 
building are placed under temporary command of the facility heads 
Captain (Security Detachment) (L4) and Doctor 

(Research Team) (L4). 


All destination locations are to be kept under surveillance and armed 
guard. They are valuable to the Foundation but are non-critical, but 
any compromised destination must be immediately reported to 
SCP-120 personnel. 


Distributed Task Force Sigma-6 (“Puddlejumpers”) was created with 
the objective of protecting and maintaining SCP-120’s facility and 
location outposts. It consists of 1 command unit and 1 defense and 
maintenance unit based at the SCP-120 facility at Command- ;5 
units based at the destination locations, plus 5 reserve units for 
these; and 5 units assigned to other SCP-120 related projects. 


Description: SCP-120 appears to be a small child’s paddling pool, 
pastel pink in colouration, with an inner diameter of approximately 
2.5 metres and inner height of 0.3 metres. The pool appears to have 
been fabricated from common Earth plastics but has shown itself to 
be indestructible by any attempted means (see research report 


#1 20-32 for a full summary). The pool’s structure and response to 
pressure are typical for such a pool (it will flex when pressure is 
applied and is soft to the touch) but has amazing tensile strength 
and cannot be permanently stretched or ripped. 


What is contained within the pool seems to be a brightly glowing, 
coloured, liquid-like substance, which seems to exist only partially in 
our dimension. It is unresponsive to manipulation by organic or 
inorganic means, but the substance ripples and shimmers 
systematically and regularly, suggesting it exists physically on 
another dimension. 


SCP-120’s most interesting and useful property is used regularly by 
Foundation personnel. Human beings, when alive and carrying 
loads (including clothing) under 37.8 kilograms, are observed to fall 
through the pool, and are deposited at one of 11 destinations. These 
will be detailed in an addendum. 


The item will only function in this way if certain conditions are met: 
the subject must be genetically human; the subject must be 
conscious; the subject must be carrying weights of under the 
specified amount; and only one subject must be present on the 
surface. Test subjects attempting to use SCP-120 while these 
conditions were not met reported their feet making contact with a 
smooth surface underneath the liquid but no significant effects were 
observed. 


SCP-120’s main use is as a potential means of evacuation for 
Command- during a major emergency. It is currently stored and 
maintained in a fortified outbuilding of this facility. To inspect 
evacuation procedures, refer to document #120-22. 


SCP-120 was first brought to the attention of Foundation authorities 
on 31/08/1992. Local police authorities in —_, California, were 
investigating reports of missing children in their jurisdiction, and 
discovered and reported the item on 31/08. Overwatch Command 
was automatically informed through the usual channels, and a small 
team of Foundation agents was dispatched to claim and transport 
the item to Site-19, where it remained for testing over the next 2 
years. 


It was transferred to its present location at Command-_ in 1994.

Document #120-10: Detailed explanation of SCP-120’s 
capabilities and destinations — 12/02/1994 [Abridged version] 


SCP-120 possesses the capability of instant translocation of human 
beings, possibly through one or more alternate dimensions. Subjects 
using the item are invariably deposited at one of 11 locations. These 
locations cycle in a specific and unchanging pattern. The 11 
destinations and their locations were determined through testing 
with Class-D personnel carrying radio beacons. They are detailed 
here: 


Location 1: Pacific Ocean: SCP-120’s liquid displays a blue glow 
while connected to this destination. 


Subjects attempting travel to this destination are deposited an 
average of 2 metres above the surface of the Pacific at latitude 

°S, longitude °W. A Foundation ship (SCPS Demeter — 
publicly the USS Nassau, a meteorological ship) is currently 
stationed at this location and personnel arriving through use of 
SCP-120 materialize inside the ship’s cargo hold. 


Sensitive Foundation material or personnel can be sent here in an 
emergency, and the ship has provisions for storage of low-threat 
SCP objects, should the need arise. Class-D personnel used to 
“dial” SCP-120 can be confined and extracted by helicopter or 
reused, or simply terminated and their bodies retained in storage.
