SCP-XXXX at testing grounds

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is stored in a single-car garage at a secure Foundation testing track located at Site 南-34 in Guizhou province. SCP-XXXX is to be parked within a granite block measuring 5 meters in length, 2 meters in width and 2 meters in height, which is attached to a crane mechanism allowing the block to be raised to facilitate access during experimental testing.

The keys for SCP-XXXX (SCP-XXXX-1) are stored in a secure safe with current on-site access for experimental purposes permitted only to Researchers Dr. Huang Mengzi and Dr. Xi Dongfeng. Access for containment purposes is currently limited to Containment Specialist Chen Xuiyan. These security measures for SCP-XXXX-1 may be bypassed by all personnel ranked Class B and above.

Temporary Amendment to Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently being held at Recreation Area #██, which has been surrounded by an enclosure to obscure visibility from the outside and is to be guarded by 3 members of the security personnel at all times to prevent all unauthorized access. Exercise and leisure activities at the site have been indefinitely suspended.
The original containment site will be maintained in the hope of a quick return to previous procedures once access problems have been solved.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a dark green Volkswagen Santana 2000 three-box sedan produced by the Shanghai Volkswagen Automotive joint venture company. This example was produced in November 1998 according to the Vehicle Identification Number. This brand of car has been sold internationally since 1981 under a variety of names, but the Santana 2000 was commonly sold in China after 1997. SCP-XXXX appears from the outside to be an unremarkable example of its make and model.

According to official records sourced from the Vehicle Management Offices of the Ministry of Public Security, the vehicle was registered with the license plate 云A86868 to Mr. ███ █████ in the city of Kunming in Yunnan Province on 1999/██/██. Mr. ███, a prominent local businessman, disappeared along with the vehicle on 2000/██/██ in the vicinity of the village of ████████.

As a vehicle of its type, SCP-XXXX appears to be in good working order. Its exterior appears clean and free of superficial damage. However, there are a number of stains on the interior upholstery from a variety of organic and inorganic sources, including urine, semen, menstrual blood, various alcoholic beverages, and secretions identified as broth from Master Kang-brand instant noodles.

SCP-XXXX's anomalous effect is demonstrated in its incorporeal nature. Physical matter intersecting with the exterior of the car passes through unimpeded with no interaction between SCP-XXXX and the matter itself. Entrance to the interior of the vehicle can only be facilitated through two apertures: the open driver's-hand-side window, and a 88 mm opening into the exhaust pipe.

Physical matter may pass through either aperture into the interior of SCP-XXXX and interact with the matter within. Human subjects report an intense but fleeting sensation of cold and 'pins and needles' when intersecting with an aperture. Attempts to breach further apertures by opening doors and windows from the inside of SCP-XXXX have failed, some form of electro-magnetic effect may be in operation. It has been noted that SCP-XXXX is not invisible and therefore continues to interact at some level with forms of radiant energy.

Further testing soon proved a working hypothesis [See Recovery Notes] that the incorporeal effect instilled by SCP-XXXX to physical objects within it does not extend to living animal tissue, and therefore any persons or animals contained within SCP-XXXX when passing through physical matter will directly interact with that matter.

When the entirety of SCP-XXXX passes solid matter of a sufficient density, any animal tissue contained within will be forced out of the interior through the rear aperture. Organic matter from non-animal sources, by contrast, appears to enjoy the benefits of incorporeality when placed inside SCP-XXXX, as does animal organic tissue that has been non-living for at least several minutes.

It is currently not understood how animal material is ejected from the rear aperture without causing damage to the interior of SCP-XXXX. There was some noted evidence of pronounced wear, slight discoloration and dust buildup on the fabric of interior, particularly the driver's seat and the left rear passenger seat.

It is also not understood how the tires of SCP-XXXX are able to make contact with the road and other level surfaces regardless of angle, while also passing harmlessly through small obstacles in their path. Further testing of SCP-XXXX on varying road conditions has been authorized.

Furthermore, it is not well understood how SCP-XXXX avoids physical matter passing through the apertures into the interior when passing through large quantities of solid matter. The edges of each aperture appear to have a resistant effect preventing objects larger than the aperture's size to pass through. Authorization is pending on further testing involving SCP-XXXX passing through material of various densities at angles facilitating passage through the front or back apertures.

Addendum - Recovery Notes

The Foundation was notified in 2015 after a discovery by a construction crew detonating explosives on the side of the ███████ Mountain in preparation for a new tunnel thoroughfare. The workers reported that the rear end of a seemingly undamaged "ghost car" had been discovered emerging out of the rubble. After being granted permission by provincial authorities, the Foundation took over the investigation and administered simple amnesiacs to the workers, administered via the medium of a potent rice liquor.

The subsequent recovery process necessitated the denotation of further munitions in order to clear the area around SCP-XXXX. During this process, a miscalculation caused a rockfall that led to █ deaths and ██ injuries among the initial recovery team. Following the clearing process, it was discovered that the interior of the car was accessible via an open window on the front left-hand side of SCP-XXXX.

The floor section of the fore and aft compartments of SCP-XXXX was noted to contain a number of accounting documents related to local chemical plants, several provincial maps, cigarette butts, discarded receptacles of Erguotou-brand sorghum liquor, assorted empty food containers, boot-legged DVD copies of the films The Emperor and the Assassin, The Personals and Dogma1, a multipurpose Chinese-Japanese-English dictionary of financial terms, several photographs of a young woman later identified as Ms. ███ ███████2, and a pair of leather shoes containing socks and ten instances of human keratin identified as toenails.

The driver's seat held a man's suit, spectacles, watch, and a wallet belonging to Mr. ███ containing 5,394.4 renminbi in cash as well as identity cards and cards pertaining to financial organs. A keychain (henceforth SCP-XXXX-1) was discovered in the ignition, which included in addition to the ignition key several different house keys and a small decorative pewter statuette in the shape of a dragon. Also found were roughly 800 grams of human hair, lumps of keratin identified as fingernails, and three gold fillings. These items were removed from the vehicle and placed into storage for testing, they have as yet proven to have no particular anomalous effects.

Following several failed attempts to move SCP-XXXX with customized equipment, it was authorized for a D-class subject to enter the vehicle through the front aperture and drive it manually to the local testing site at █████████ in ████████ province. The roads were cleared by police and SCP-XXXX was to be accompanied by an armed escort.

Four hours into the transport, an unconscionable breach in protocol occurring on the ████████ Highway allowed the D-class subject to attempt an escape through the parking facilities of a Carrefour supermarket. The escort team reacted swiftly and made efforts to block SCP-XXXX in, however the subject responded by driving directly through the wall of the supermarket building, probably intending to exploit SCP-XXXX's anomalous effect.

While SCP-XXXX successfully passed through the wall unharmed, the subject himself was ejected at extremely high speed through the rear aperture in the form of blood, bone matter, and liquefied flesh, henceforth referred to as SCP-XXXX-2. As SCP-XXXX was traveling at approximately 168 km/h at the point of 'impact', SCP-XXXX-2 was ejected through the rear aperture at extremely high pressure, damaging one Foundation vehicle and being ultimately deposited in an arc stretching up to 800 meters away.

Witnesses on site were administered amnesiacs and a clean-up and collection of SCP-XXXX-2 was initiated, while those responsible for the breach in protocol were given stiff reprimands. SCP-XXXX itself was discovered having come to a complete stop between several aisles of consumable goods. While the vehicle appeared unharmed and was still running, the front aperture was found to be obscured by metal shelving.

Due to risks of injury, the shelving was completely dismantled to allow access to the interior and a path was cleared to allow a researcher to enter SCP-XXXX and drive it out of the supermarket at a cautious speed to prevent any further mishaps. It was discovered during this process that it was possible to drive SCP-XXXX up a ramp, facilitating a more secure transport within a larger vehicle to the testing grounds.

A follow-up survey of the recovery area recovered a number of bone fragments embedded in the soil in the area. DNA testing has indicated these likely belonged to Mr. ███ █████ based on comparisons with the genetic profiles of living relatives.3

Addendum: Incident Report:

Further testing of SCP-XXXX has been put permanently on hold due to access problems. During a test to determine if it was possible for the vehicle to drive across a liquid element, subject D-3849 drove SCP-XXXX at a speed of 30 km/h towards a swimming pool ranging from 1 meter to 3 meters in depth.

After passing over the edge of the pool, SCP-XXXX tilted forward and became partially submerged, though the resulting displacement of the water was limited to that of a single human body. D-3849 ignored instructions to remain calm and closed the front aperture by winding up the window. It has been speculated that D-3849 suffered a panic reaction caused by direct physical interaction with the pool water from within the interior of SCP-XXXX.

Due to an apparent breakdown in the chain of command, the subject was terminated by three gunshots preventing restoration of access to the aperture internally. The security personnel responsible have been demoted to D-class, and research is now focusing on how to access or move SCP-XXXX by manipulation of the rear aperture without causing damage. The engine remains in operation despite a lack of refueling as of 2015/██/██, █ weeks after the incident.

Note: It was Huang's smart-ass idea to save money using D-class personnel instead of installing a remote-control system. He is definitely going to be the dog ████ who's going to clean out the ███████ mess sitting in the driver's seat if we ever get back into that ███████ car. - Dr. Xi
