Description: SCP-3008 is a large retail unit that was once owned by the famous furniture retail chain IKEA. Personnel entering from the main entrance and looking through the door will find themselves transported to SCP-3008-1. This change is generally not detected.
Upon detection, nothing changes from the victim's perspective; they are generally unaware until they attempt to return.
SCP-3008-1 is a space that resembles the interior of an IKEA furniture store, extending far beyond the physical limits of what the original retail unit could accommodate. Current measurements indicate that the area is at least 10 square kilometers, with no internal terminals visible in any direction
.The laser rangefinder failed to produce results, and it is speculated that the space may be infinite. Prior to containment, SCP-3008-1 had an unknown number of trapped civilians living inside it. The data collected indicated that they had been trapped inside SCP-3008-1.
A rudimentary civilization formed, including the establishment of settlements and fortifications to resist SCP-3008-2.
SCP-3008-2 is a humanoid entity that exists within SCP-3008-1. Although its appearance is similar to that of a human, it has exaggerated and uncoordinated body proportions, and is often described as being too tall or too short. They have no face.
Characteristically, all observed individuals were wearing yellow shirts and blue pants, consistent with IKEA employee uniforms. SCP-3008-1 has a preliminary day and night cycle, with overhead lights in the space being turned on/off in conjunction with the opening/closing of the original store.
Close to determine. During "nighttime" SCP-3008-2 instances behave violently towards other life forms within SCP-3008-1. During their violent attacks they can be heard speaking English phrases, generally various "our shop"
"Closed, please leave the building." Once "daylight" begins, SCP-3008-2 will immediately become passive and begin wandering around SCP-3008-1 seemingly at random. They will not respond to inquiries or other words in this state
Prompt to respond, but will still resort to violence if attacked.
One or more exits are known to exist within SCP-3008-1, but there appear to be no fixed locations, making it difficult to exit SCP-3008-1 once inside. If you enter the building using any door outside the main entrance, or break
If you enter the store wall, you can only enter the non-abnormal interior of the original store.
Fourteen individuals have departed from SCP-3008 since containment. These individuals have been amnesticized and released after extensive reporting of the situation.
