 Item █ SCP-2535 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-2535 is to be sealed off from the public under the cover of health and safety reasons. A team of at least two agents is to be stationed in an adjacent building for observation purposes at all times. Where possible, the interior of SCP-2535 is to be soundproofed. This material generated within SCP-2535 is to be collected and disposed of daily. Description SCP-2535 is the former two-story Hewler Packard Branch office building located in the Zhejiang District of Hanzhou, China. It contains an intricate network of electrical and biological components of unknown origin. In particular, covering the walls of the entire first story of SCP-2535 are 63,512 of the USP-2.0 standard A sockets embedded in semi-regular intervals of 20 cm in a grid pattern. Each socket is connected to a network of wires running throughout the walls, consisting of strands of copper intrawoven with human optic nerve tissue and encased in a keratin sheath. For reasons unknown, the temperature of each USB socket as well as out of the wires remains at a constant 47.6 degrees Celsius, regardless of external temperature. Furthermore, despite being partially composed of biological material, the wires are not exhibited at any sign of decay or deterioration since initial containment. These wires branch out from clusters running vertically throughout the load-bearing pillars of the building and terminate in a room located on the second floor, presumed to be the former server room. The room is currently inaccessible, as its only entrance has been obstructed from the inside by what non-intrusive imaging methods have determined as they continue with solid biological mass. Ballistic means of ingress have been deemed unnecessarily destructive and thus have not been attempted. The inside of the room, like the utter anomalous electrical and biological components of SCP-2535, constantly emits heat at a temperature of 47.6 degrees Celsius. Personnel within the vicinity of the room occasionally report to smell ozone and sulfur emanating from within, along with loud printer noises. 317 of the USB socket and power outlets of SCP-2535 have been connected to HP-brand USB 2.0-compatible electronic devices. Of these, 20 possess anomalous, possibly ecto-entropic function. See below for details. The remainder have been catalogued and moved to the adjacent provisional observation site 2535 for storage. Five former employees of Hewlett Packard's Hangzhou Branch are located in various rooms within SCP-2535. The bodies of these five individuals are in an anomalous state of biological suspension, requiring no sleep, water, or food despite being perpetually conscious. They have remained virtually unchanged in their states in the initial discovery and acquisition in April 2013. Any attempt to extricate them from their predicaments appear to be physically impossible, as the devices binding them are unable to be unplugged or disassembled by any means whatsoever. The list of employees within SCP-2535 consists of Gwo Ping Ping, former branch manager of the Hewlett Packard Hangzhou Branch. Gwo was located in the bathroom nearest to the receptionist's desk on the first floor. His head has been forced into the feed tray of a continuously operating USB 2.0-compatible HP DeskJet-1112 printer plugged into the wall. Although this would be fatal to an ordinary human, the remainder of Gwo's body continues to kick and thrash as if in pain. James Gwo Young Soon, former assistant branch manager of the Hewlett Packard Hangzhou Branch. Gwo is located in the employee's pantry on the second floor. His body has been secured vertically to the wall via 92-20 inch USB 2.0-MM cables. The actuating unit of an HP DeskJet-2540-111 printer has been similarly secured to Gwo's lower jaw via 5-10 inch USB 2.0-MM cables. Attached to the arm of the actuating unit is a single HP-10 black original ink cartridge. The actuating unit has been modified to run on USB power sources and is itself plugged into a USB socket being an adapter. It continually rams the ink cartridge into the Gwo's throat at a rate of one stroke per second. The ink cartridge is hypothesized to contain an anomalous amount of ink, as it has yet to run dry. Gwo himself is partially conscious and responds incoherently to vocal stimuli. Angel Lee Hewman Former Human Resources Department head of the Hewlett Packard Hangzhou Branch. Lee is located in her former office on the second floor. Similar to Gwo, she has been secured to the wall via 89-20 inch USB 2.0-MM cables. Another cable of indeterminate length has been inserted into her lower abdomen via a 5mm wide fistula. It continuously vomits a stream of thermal receipt paper from her mouth and appears to be in great distress as a result. Her abdomen is slightly distended. It is inferred from palpitations and announcements of the sounds produced from her abdomen that are the fully operating HP-USB single station thermal receipt printer located in the vicinity of her jejunum. Wang Liang Former IT Department head of the Hewlett Packard Hangzhou Branch. Wang is located near the water cooler on the first floor. He is secured in a standing position against the wall via 37-20 inch USB 2.0-MM cables. Pressed against his body are 12 HP ScanJet 200 scanners, all in continuous operation. Beside him are the HP DeskJet 1112 printer attached to the wall, also in constant operation. However, instead of paper, it produces A4-sized sheets of human epidermal tissue matching Wang's skin tone. Wang is conscious but unable to respond coherently due to his near constant screaming. Chen Yupeng, trainee technical writer, Chen is located in the branch manager's office on the second floor. His body has been fitted inside the paper tray and backup paper tray of an HP Laser Jet Pro 500 multifunction printer, which have been plugged into the wall via a standard power cable and a 3-feet USB 2.0-MM cable. An aperture has been cut into the side of the printer, from which his head protrudes. The printer alternates between producing copies of the HP standard print quality diagnostic page and the HP Laser Jet 500 technical repair manual. Since discovery is not run out of paper or ink, Chen is unconscious and displays signs of severe blood loss. These five individuals were reported missing in May 2013, one month after the closure of the Hangzhou branch office due to international downsizing measures. Additionally, a Canon PIXMA E480 printer is located in the janitor's closet on the first floor. It bears human teeth marks and dents across his exterior, along with chemical damage indicating application of concentrated liquid bleach. Since his discovery, it has been attempted to print a 91-page document to no effect, as this paper tray appears to have been improperly loaded, such as the top most sheets have crumpled up and jammed the feed mechanism. The scenes of the Canon PIXMA E480 periodically leak human blood. Data matches out of Yan Xiaoxia, a creative consultant formerly under the employment of the Hewler-Packard-Hangzhou branch, who were reported missing at about the same time as the five Hewler-Packard employees.
