SCP Foundation

Background: There is a strange little building about 2 blocks away from my house, on the nearest busy street. It looks like an out-of-business corner store at first glance…awnings with no signage, the blinds are always down. It is well-maintained and doesn’t look like an abandoned building. The catch is it’s been that way for 5 years…it has always looked the same…I’ve never seen anyone go in or out of it. Strangely, there is no address number on it.

So I’m thinking “anomalous building”…don’t want to do the obvious “little shop that wasn’t there yesterday”, at least not without some new twist.

So…new researchers keep showing up at various real Foundation sites…they have paperwork, real-looking badges…and no one knows who they are, except they claim to have been recruited from this little building, which to them looked like one of those recruiting stations for the US military. When checked out, it’s an empty building someone is using for storage.

So the Foundation wants to figure out who is doing this and why, how they know so much about the real Foundation, how they “hide” the building, how to contain it in a busy urban area without attracting attention.

Good idea? Been done? I’ve been off the site and there are now about 2500 SCP’s I haven’t read.

Welcome back! It's good to see you on the forums again!

I feel like this might be a good premise for a tale, since it seems like the bulk of the interesting material would be in the Foundation's investigation of the anomaly rather than just the description of the anomaly itself. Build up the mystique of these people just… showing up, with everything they need as if they've always been there, but no one knowing how or why they're there. Have various reports of different instances of that happening.

I'm interested in this. Do you have a plan for what the answers to these questions are?

how they “hide” the building, how to contain it in a busy urban area without attracting attention.

Admittedly my first thought is just "put a bunch of boxes with random junk in it, and slap a small, inconspicuous "private storage" sign somewhere on the door.
