Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Neutralized

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX was previously stored in a standard large object containment room in Site-19. Testing days were scheduled by the Research Director to take place around busy sections of the year and near holidays as media created by SCP-XXXX was found to have a positive relationship with increased employee morale.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a machine resembling a typical consumer grade wood chipper, running on petroleum and featuring similar parts with the exception of the chipper disc, which is absent. The power switch has been replaced with three buttons, labelled "sequel", "prequel", and "remake". The machine is branded with a logo that displays "KinoKorp Sequel Machine" on all sides of of the device's feed chute.

SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties manifest when an object containing a piece of media is placed into the feed chute. The sound of the media being destroyed can be heard and a similar object will expel from the device's discharge spout. The output will contain content similar to the media sent into the machine, with elements varying depending on which "setting" was selected. Inserting multiple pieces of media will create the same amount of media, although the content may be effected by the other pieces of media inserted.

SCP-XXXX was acquired during a raid on a Marshall, Carter, and Dark shipping facility in Atlantic City, New Jersey on 05/04/201█. A shipping manifest recovered during the raid suggests that the object had been recently purchased by the Walt Disney Corporation.
