Item #: SCP-617-KO
Object Class: Keter Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-617-KO does not require any Special Containment Procedures that directly require human resources.
Description: SCP-617-KO is an artificial extradimensional space originating from the Group of Interest known as "Plugsoft." The entity is filled with objects inside, including ordinary items such as coins and glasses, as well as living organisms and [REDACTED]. The living organisms inside SCP-617-KO appear to exhibit no notable metabolic activity. Each object present within SCP-617-KO is designated as SCP-617-KO-N (where N is an arbitrary natural number).
SCP-617-KO-N possesses the property of instantaneously vanishing as soon as it is described, regardless of the description method. For example, a wooden bag designated as SCP-617-KO-103 was found to have disappeared even before documentation was completed, as the responsible personnel remarked, "The bag is made of wood," just before official record-keeping. It has been confirmed that once a critical number of SCP-617-KO-N instances have disappeared, new instances gradually regenerate. However, the exact threshold and limitations of this regeneration remain unknown.
As of 2022, the correlation between SCP-617-KO and Plugsoft is under investigation.
History: SCP-617-KO was first detected by the Foundation information network around January 2021 during an experimental procedure involving SCP-███-KO. At the time, only the existence of SCP-617-KO was confirmed, yet the distinct anomalous qualities revealed through analysis data attracted the Foundation's attention. Later, around June 2021, it was confirmed that the entity had no relation to SCP-███-KO, prompting an extensive investigation regarding SCP-617-KO. However, the results revealed that the entity was far more anomalous than the Foundation had initially expected.
…Honestly, I have no idea what this is. Despite the insignificantly small dimension size, it gradually stabilises instead of quickly collapsing like other bubble dimensions. Yet, the relative space and [REDACTED] show it is a subordinate bubble dimension of our universe. This could only mean one thing: somebody intentionally created it.

Investigation shows that there are a lot of random artefacts inside the dimension. These range from mundane objects from chairs or ball-point pens to weird, unidentifiable creatures, and - according to the investigation team - "materialised abstract concepts".
The Foundation formally designated SCP-617-KO and began documenting each object within the entity individually. By around December 2021, approximately 500 objects had been recorded, and the operation appeared quite successful, at least temporarily. However, during a subsequent re-investigation of the interior of SCP-617-KO, the Foundation was confronted with an unsettling discovery.
…Nothing. No sign of anything from SCP-617-KO-1 to 516. Of course, theoretically, the catalogue of 500 objects can be entirely wrong, but considering the cognitohazard immunity of some of the personnel involved in the documentation, such an error seems unlikely. My anecdote is that the objects have disappeared.

Worse, the number of objects within SCP-617-KO has exponentially increased. What was previously around 600 is now in the thousands.
In response, the Foundation conducted cognitohazard contamination tests on personnel involved in the documentation of SCP-617-KO-N, but all individuals tested negative. It was later confirmed that the SCP-617-KO-N instances had disappeared immediately after being documented, leading to discussions initiated by the designated personnel. Numerous high-ranking Foundation officials, including [REDACTED], also participated in these discussions.
The discussion was a complete mess. How SCP-617-KO-N disappeared seemed like something entered our universe through the SCP-617-KO document, backed by previous examples. In hindsight, this was a complete overreaction, but then it was a horrifying possibility to not only the designated personnel but also the high-ranking officials of the Foundation. Well, considering the fact that numerous conceptual extradimensional anomalous entities such as SCP-███-KO were bugging the Foundation, such a reaction was very justified.
We didn't want another Foundation site to be ██████ in seconds again.— Excerpt from Memorial of Professor Seong-Hyeon Cho.
Following the discussion, SCP-617-KO was reclassified as Keter, and research efforts were initiated under the leadership of personnel from the Department of Conceptual Studies. However, contrary to expectations, no conceptual or variable-related anomalies were identified within the entity. The only notable finding was that SCP-617-KO is directly connected to our universe and exhibits fundamentally different characteristics compared to other extradimensional spaces. Due to this, research on SCP-617-KO saw no meaningful progress until the Site intrusion incident in 2022.
Interview Expert Ji-Woo Kwak: State your identity.
POI-617-KO: Hello, ma'am. This is ███ from Plugsoft customer support.
Interview Expert Ji-Woo Kwak: So you're from Plugsoft?
POI-617-KO: That is correct.
Interview Expert Ji-Woo Kwak: I see. Why did you break in here?
POI-617-KO: Excuse my tresspassing. I came to give information about the service you are using. We apologise for the lack of prior communication or notice.
Interview Expert Ji-Woo Kwak: That "service", are we using it?
POI-617-KO: Just a second. (Briefly rummages through file in his hand) Yes, it says so here. However, it also says you are using it through an invalid route. Well, that's why I'm here.
Interview Expert Ji-Woo Kwak: Care to elaborate?
POI-617-KO: The SCP Foundation has used our service through an invalid route since February 23rd, 2021. Hence, you haven't been enjoying our game properly. This is a problem on both ends, so we would like to provide you with a guide.
Interview Expert Ji-Woo Kwak: Please continue.
POI-617-KO: Of course. The service you are using is "Game-2" of "Plugsoft Typing Practice". We don't know how, but you have been using the service through an invalid route, creating many problems. So, in gratitude for the enthusiasm the SCP Foundation has shown for our product, we would like to offer you a legitimate version of the typing practice program for free.
Interview Expert Ji-Woo Kwak: I'm sorry, but I don't think we're using such a service.
POI-617-KO: Uh, one second. The document shows you call it SCP-617-KO.
Interview Expert Ji-Woo Kwak: What?
