SCP-Attempt 3957

Item #: SCP-3957

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3957 is to be contained via being hung from both it's handles on any raised hook, nob, nail, or beam which holds SCP-3957 at approximately 30 to 45 inches from the point of connection with the highest handle. SCP-3957 is to be help on wooden or brass fixtures. SCP-3957 is to be periodically used for local supply procurement from any Walmart brand store, and used to physically carry said supplies back to site at 2 week intervals. Any items to be bought are to be within the physical limits of being held by a normal Walmart-brand shopping bag, and total expenditure is to be kept at a maximum of 50$USD. During these outings, SCP-3957 is to be handled by two Level-3 Personnel who both scored 30 or above for Psychic Resistance. Any attempts to spend more then 50$USD are to be halted and SCP-3957 is to be retrieved and separated from affected personnel immediately.

Description: SCP-3957 is a blue medium-sized carrier-styled bag made out of recycled plastics as is popular in many green and ecologically friendly shopping centers. The Walmart logo is on one side, and the motto "Save money. Live better." is right below it. The insides of the bag appear to be of normal dimensions of a carrier bag of it's size and make, but it is capable of thus-far holding at least 1000 times it's carrying capacity without spillage or showing signs of stress. SCP-3957 will still expand in the manner of a normal carrier bag when continually filled, but not obscenely so. SCP-3957 is somehow always capable of having just enough space for any bag-sized item to be added. SCP-3957 appears to be sentient, with the ability to project a calm and friendly sounding male Caucasian-American voice, otherwise non-accented. This voice can both be projected directly from the inside of of the bag to the surrounding area like any normal sound, and heard inside of it's holder head without projecting it publicly. SCP-3957 uses this voice to give 'suggestions' to it's carrier, compelling it to buy more and more items from any local Walmart, and to continually "Fill it up."

SCP-3957 will continually to attempt to get any humanoid around it to take it to the nearest Walmart to purchase any random assortment of goods, commenting on prices and deals as it wishes. It's instances are sated when used, and it is then capable of going stretches of time speaking without mentioning Walmart or shopping. When in such a state, SCP-3957 is described as 'kind and polite, but blunt', and has been cooperative with questioning, though it claims that it has no information regarding itself aside from "Being a helpful bag for the local Walmart super center."

SCP-3957 is capable of limited autonomous movement that is physically acceptable within it's structure and proportions. It's 'face' appears to be the Walmart logo, and moves as if it's 'back' acts as a spine. It often hops and waddles to move, and uses it's handles as 'hands'.


Addendum 3957.1 Recovery (NOTE, TWO DRAFT VERSIONS PRESENTED - Please tell me which one is 'better' in your opinion.)
Draft 1.
On 4/10/[BLACKED], at 9:32 AM, Researcher [BLACKED] went on a shopping excursion to [BLACKED]'s local Walmart, located at the intersection of [BLACKED] and [BLACKED]. Researcher [BLACKED] shops at this Walmart on a monthly basis, and has experienced or seen no additional anomalous happenings. Upon entering the store, Researcher [BLACKED] went to replace his previous carrying bag with a new one, and was presented SCP-3957 by an insistent Walmart Employee as a "Gift for faithful Walmart customers." Upon taking the bag, Researcher [BLACKED] noticed no affects, and went on with his shopping. After filling up SCP-3957 half way, Researcher [BLACKED] finally 'heard' SCP-3957 in his mind, 'whispering' to him about a new brand of expensive deodorant in the next aisle that would impress his wife. After contact was established, Researcher [BLANKED] claims he felt confused for several moments, before agreeing with the voice that he would like to impress his wife, and proceeded to the next aisle to take the deodorant. SCP-3957 did this several times for various other generic items, growing even more vocal about 'good' and 'bad' items. Researcher [BLANKED] reported it was "ranting about quality and stuff, it just wouldn't shut up and tried to keep getting me to buy this really expensive stuff." Before arriving at checkout, Researcher [BLANK] claims he "Felt odd" before he finally contacted the Foundation and retreated to the men's restroom with SCP-3957 while waiting for Foundation agents. In this time, SCP-3957 went quiet and still before local Foundation agents arrived, where it then was reported as "Nervously twitching and stammering objections" locally after the restroom was cleared of civilians, though it did not 'speak' in public when transported between the store and the Agents' vehicle.

...I'll do it later, I swear.


Addendum 3957.2
It has been observed recently forming it's handles into mimics of human hands with fingers, experimenting with them and attempting containment breach with it's newfound dexterity. As for what purpose it has for this new behavior and attempted containment breach it has yet to disclose, not speaking or moving until another subject is brought up.
