00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:04.800
An old house, sitting empty since&nbsp;
its owner died. It’s ripe pickings,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:10.920
the Ringleader insists. The rest of the gang&nbsp;
takes some convincing. The plan is simple:&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:16.800
break in and gather up anything valuable – cash&nbsp;
and jewelry are the main score. Slipping in under&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.880
the cover of darkness should be no trouble&nbsp;
for a group of seasoned burglars like them,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:25.840
but they want to know that job will be worth it.
That’s when the Ringleader tells them the reason&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:29.960
he wants to hit this house in particular:&nbsp;
because of who previously resided there.&nbsp;

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.520
Some big-shot Hollywood cartoonist had lived&nbsp;
there, an animator who launched some pretty&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:39.480
well-known cartoons that each of the gang&nbsp;
remembers from when they were kids. And,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:45.160
so the Ringleader tells them, the Cartoonist had&nbsp;
a study where he used to do all his drawings. If&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:45.160 --> 00:00:49.680
they can find an original piece of his, something&nbsp;
that the public has never seen, especially&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:54.080
something with one of the Cartoonist’s famous&nbsp;
characters, then something like that could sell&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:54.080 --> 00:01:00.080
for big bucks at auction. Hearing the Ringleader&nbsp;
out, one by one, the rest of the crew start to be&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:05.760
enticed by the prospect of a big payday;&nbsp;
all they’ve got to do is get into one room…&nbsp;

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:10.400
Getting into the house is easy enough; the group&nbsp;
is all dressed in full black from head to toe,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:16.000
including balaclavas and gloves. But the door&nbsp;
to the study proves a little more challenging.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:21.400
It’s not that it’s locked though, more that it’s&nbsp;
impossible for any of the burglars to get through.&nbsp;

00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:26.400
The Ringleader heads there immediately, quietly&nbsp;
turning the handle and slowly opening the door…&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.960
suddenly, something from inside the study grabs&nbsp;
him and pulls him inside, the door closing behind&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:36.120
him. As the rest of the group exchange panicked&nbsp;
whispers and try to get the study open again,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:40.600
they can hear the sounds of commotion on the other&nbsp;
side of the door. There’s a scuffle; fists are&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:40.600 --> 00:01:46.840
flying – in fact, it sounds like a full-on brawl.
They manage to pull the door open, only for the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:51.880
Ringleader to come tumbling out as if he’d&nbsp;
just been thrown with great force. Even in the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:57.040
low light, the burglars all notice something’s&nbsp;
different about him now; his outfit’s changed,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.400
his dark clothing replaced by a cartoonish&nbsp;
black and white striped top, with a domino&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:07.320
mask over his eyes and a large burlap sack over&nbsp;
his shoulder labelled ‘Swag’. Not exactly the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:12.000
inconspicuous look the group were going for.
Another of the burglars tried opening the door&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:17.000
a sliver, seeing if whoever had beaten up their&nbsp;
boss was still in there. The study looked empty,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:22.080
so he slipped inside… only for the door to&nbsp;
slam shut behind him. The rest of the gang&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:27.400
try to get inside, only for a voice to whisper&nbsp;
from the other side that they can’t come in:&nbsp;

00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.520
“This is a closed set.”
Searching the rest of the house,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:35.200
after around twenty minutes, they find their&nbsp;
missing accomplice. He’s babbling incoherently&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:40.000
about being made to answer trivia questions by&nbsp;
some kind of duck that walked and talked like a&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:45.520
human. He seemed to be presenting a game show,&nbsp;
but each time the Burglar answered a question,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:50.800
even if he was correct, the duck would subject&nbsp;
him to a bizarre punishment. The only thing&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:55.400
he remembers was having the Rock of Gibraltar&nbsp;
dropped on him, then waking up in another part&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:01.400
of the house. The Ringleader checks him over for&nbsp;
injuries, only to find an exaggeratedly large bump&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:06.680
protruding several inches from the man’s head.
Determined to get in the study, the Ringleader&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:11.960
marches back over to the door and swings it open.&nbsp;
To his surprise, a tree trunk is standing in his&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:17.920
way, with a single sheet of paper stapled to its&nbsp;
bark. The paper has two words crudely written on&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:23.440
it: ‘Rabbit Season.’ Reaching out to tear the&nbsp;
poster away, the Ringleader finds another one&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:29.880
underneath, this one says ‘Duck Season’. He keeps&nbsp;
tearing away alternating posters, going back and&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:29.880 --> 00:03:35.200
forth between Duck Season and Rabbit Season,&nbsp;
until he reaches one underneath all the others.&nbsp;

00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:38.960
This one says ‘Burglar Season’…&nbsp;
followed by the barrel of an old&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:44.280
hunting rifle poking out from behind the tree.
While the estate situated in Newport Beach,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:48.880
California, may seem unassuming from the&nbsp;
outset, there exists an anomalous secret&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:48.880 --> 00:03:53.600
behind its walls. Records indicate that the house&nbsp;
and the surrounding grounds were formerly the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:03:53.600 --> 00:03:59.720
property of the late Chuck Jones, cartoonist,&nbsp;
painter, and animator, who passed away in 2002.&nbsp;

00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.760
Since his death, the Newport Beach house fell&nbsp;
into the possession of Jones’ estate, which was&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:04.760 --> 00:04:11.240
subsequently bought by the SCP Foundation, using a&nbsp;
front company to mask their activities. Following&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.840
this acquisition, a four-meter privacy fence&nbsp;
has been installed surrounding the property,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:19.960
and a number of Foundation researchers remain&nbsp;
stationed on-site within the household,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:19.960 --> 00:04:25.320
under the cover story that they are mourning&nbsp;
relatives of Jones. This all begs the question:&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:31.160
why exactly is the Foundation so interested&nbsp;
in a deceased animator’s former home?&nbsp;

00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:36.320
Well, technically, their interest in Chuck Jones’&nbsp;
old house is actually confined to a single room&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:42.160
within. Situated in the far corner of the house,&nbsp;
down on the first floor, is a quiet little spot&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:48.040
that Jones, while he was alive, used as a private&nbsp;
study. He would’ve spent countless hours putting&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:53.360
pencil to paper, honing his skill for creating&nbsp;
characters with exaggerated poses and heightened&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:59.160
facial expressions, all to convey a sense of&nbsp;
personality to an audience. Jones was responsible&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:04.760
for not only designing but also creating the&nbsp;
iconic personalities of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:04.760 --> 00:05:11.640
Elmer Fudd, Porky Pig, Wile E. Coyote, the Road&nbsp;
Runner, Pepe LePew, and Marvin the Martian.&nbsp;

00:05:11.640 --> 00:05:16.760
But Chuck Jones’ repertoire as an icon of early&nbsp;
mainstream animation still isn’t what urged the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:16.760 --> 00:05:22.000
Foundation to buy his house. Jones’ former&nbsp;
study is the site of a spatially disruptive&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:29.880
anomaly that the Foundation has designated as&nbsp;
SCP-4934. Upon its discovery, there existed no&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:34.200
known means of directly entering the study room&nbsp;
without triggering the manifestation of numerous&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:34.200 --> 00:05:39.600
humanoid entities or causing dangerous objects&nbsp;
and substances to appear, causing the risk of&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:45.520
extreme bodily harm to those seeking entry to&nbsp;
the seemingly prohibited room. Each time the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:45.520 --> 00:05:52.120
door to SCP-4934 is opened, an unpredictable,&nbsp;
entirely random anomalous effect will trigger,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:57.760
only ceasing once the door is closed again.
Having discovered it following an incident&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:05:57.760 --> 00:06:02.480
involving an attempted break-in at Jones’ former&nbsp;
household, the Foundation decides to send out an&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:08.360
investigation team. Heading up the team is&nbsp;
one Researcher Rex, a man who’s heard every&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:13.040
joke likening him to a dinosaur or a dog that&nbsp;
a person could possibly stomach in a single&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:18.600
lifetime. According to briefings provided by the&nbsp;
SCP Foundation, the study room within the house is&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:24.160
producing an unknown anomaly, and Rex’s goal is&nbsp;
to discover the extent of this reported reality&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:30.400
distortion and to what extent it poses a threat.
However, upon overhearing one of the investigation&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:34.400
team snickering at his name, muttering&nbsp;
something about ‘throwing him a bone,’&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:35.320 --> 00:06:40.960
Rex’s rationality suffers from a temporary lapse,&nbsp;
and he walks straight for the door to the study.&nbsp;

00:06:40.960 --> 00:06:47.400
Opening the door to SCP-4934, Researcher Rex’s&nbsp;
foot immediately steps on a rake, the force of&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:47.400 --> 00:06:52.400
his footfall causing the garden tool to swing&nbsp;
upwards. The wooden handle of the rake smacks&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:58.520
the unprepared researcher squarely in the face.&nbsp;
Rex stands still, rake handle against his nose,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:06:58.520 --> 00:07:03.000
foot still keeping it upright, contemplating&nbsp;
his life for a split second before stepping&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:07.640
back to let the rake clatter to the floor.
Without even turning around, he can feel the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:07.640 --> 00:07:13.120
eyes of the rest of the investigation team on him,&nbsp;
a few confused murmurs interspersed with quiet,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:18.200
barely detectable giggling. Huffing,&nbsp;
Rex slams the door closed and storms&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:18.200 --> 00:07:23.240
off to collect himself without so much as&nbsp;
looking at his fellow Foundation researchers.&nbsp;

00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:29.560
Once Rex returns, multiple attempts to&nbsp;
get inside SCP-4934 come and go, each as&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:35.480
unsuccessful as the first. Upon opening the door&nbsp;
for the fifth time, Rex feels his pulse quicken,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:40.920
wincing and recoiling slightly as he twists the&nbsp;
door handle. Opening it up, he’s surprised to be&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:47.160
greeted by… nothing. He can see clearly into the&nbsp;
study, the room standing as it was the day Chuck&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:52.400
Jones previously set foot in there. There are&nbsp;
no immediately observable obstacles in the way,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:57.640
nothing obstructing the entrance, and, mercifully,&nbsp;
no precariously placed garden tools left on the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:07:57.640 --> 00:08:03.760
floor. From behind, Rex hears the rest of&nbsp;
the team goading him to enter SCP-4934,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:08:03.760 --> 00:08:09.840
and he takes a big stride toward the study…
Only to collide hard against a solid surface&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:08:09.840 --> 00:08:15.480
standing in his path, bashing into it with such&nbsp;
force that he stumbles back and topples over.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:20.480
Landing on his back, Researcher Rex rubs his&nbsp;
dazed eyes and looks closer at the entrance to&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:28.360
SCP-4934… only to realize that what he’d walked&nbsp;
into was a brick wall. The entire doorway was now&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:34.280
bricked over, with a facsimile of the study room&nbsp;
inside painted over the surface of the bricks.&nbsp;

00:08:34.280 --> 00:08:42.080
Twenty-one failed attempts to get inside SCP-4934,&nbsp;
and Rex is starting to feel infuriated. Each time&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:45.760
he opens the door, he braces himself for&nbsp;
the next ridiculous thing that will come&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:49.920
spilling out or standing in his way to not&nbsp;
only stop him from getting inside but, in&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:08:49.920 --> 00:08:56.000
all likelihood, injure and aggravate him further.
Sure enough, on the twenty sixth effort to enter&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.160
the room, Researcher Rex opens the door only&nbsp;
to have a row of figures barge right past him,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:01.160 --> 00:09:06.400
knocking him to the floor once again. Moving to&nbsp;
the tempo of music that seems to be emanating&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:06.400 --> 00:09:13.040
from inside SCP-4934, the figures are a line&nbsp;
of Can-can dancers, legs kicking outwards as&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:18.160
they dance their way into the hallway. Each&nbsp;
one that passes seems to accidentally kick&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:18.160 --> 00:09:24.040
Rex as he tries and fails to get to his feet,&nbsp;
until they all demanifest, the one in the back&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:24.040 --> 00:09:29.520
shutting the door to the study behind them.
On the forty-sixth try, Researcher Rex is&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:29.520 --> 00:09:36.360
just able to make his way past the threshold of&nbsp;
SCP-4934 – a whole step inside Chuck Jones’ study.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:42.000
Some progress is better than none, although nearly&nbsp;
being crushed to death hardly feels like progress.&nbsp;

00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:46.880
The moment that Rex makes it a single step through&nbsp;
the doorway, a fifty-kilogram anvil drops from the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:46.880 --> 00:09:51.320
ceiling. The weight of such an object would&nbsp;
normally be enough to kill a human being or,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:56.400
at the very least, cause someone severe cranial&nbsp;
trauma by falling directly on their head. The&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:09:56.400 --> 00:10:00.400
rest of the investigation team collectively&nbsp;
gasp at seeing the weighted object drop onto&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:00.400 --> 00:10:06.800
Researcher Rex and the door to SCP-4934 slamming&nbsp;
shut behind him. A number of them even feel a&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:06.800 --> 00:10:11.840
pang of guilt for making jokes about his dumb&nbsp;
name. That feeling quickly dissipates when Rex&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:17.040
is discovered not only alive but having suffered&nbsp;
no serious injuries in the basement of the house.&nbsp;

00:10:17.040 --> 00:10:24.160
Another twenty attempts later and Rex is still&nbsp;
trying to get into SCP-4934. Try number sixty six,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:24.160 --> 00:10:30.800
and he opens the door to find… another door. And&nbsp;
opening that one reveals another, smaller door.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:30.800 --> 00:10:35.160
He spends several minutes opening a series of&nbsp;
continuously smaller doors, each one making him&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:35.160 --> 00:10:41.680
more and more agitated – until, after thirty-two&nbsp;
of them, he decides to give up on this attempt.&nbsp;

00:10:41.680 --> 00:10:46.520
Things don’t go much better on the seventy-fifth&nbsp;
try, either, when the exhausted and infuriated&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:46.520 --> 00:10:53.360
researcher opens up SCP-4934… only to see the&nbsp;
barrel of a gun staring back at him. A tall&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:58.360
male figure, dressed in a trench coat and&nbsp;
fedora, points a revolver directly as Rex,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:05.840
telling him to ‘scram’ and ‘skedaddle’ while&nbsp;
affecting a heavy, stereotypical Chicago accent.&nbsp;

00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:11.560
This wouldn’t be the only time escalating&nbsp;
danger occurs by trying to enter SCP-4934. The&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:11:11.560 --> 00:11:17.000
eighty-second try threatens to level the entire&nbsp;
house when, upon opening the door once again,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:22.840
Rex freezes in horror to realize… the entire&nbsp;
room is filled with explosives. Bright red&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.480
sticks of dynamite, wrapped together in&nbsp;
large bundles, lay scattered around the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:32.400
floor… all of them connected to a lit fuse,&nbsp;
the flame creeping rapidly towards the TNT.&nbsp;

00:11:32.400 --> 00:11:36.600
In a panic, Researcher Rex slams the door closed&nbsp;
and yells to the rest of the Foundation team to&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:41.760
take cover before hurling himself in a face-first&nbsp;
dive away from the door. With a thud, he lands&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:11:41.760 --> 00:11:46.920
on the floor for what feels like the millionth&nbsp;
time that day, covering his ears with his hands.&nbsp;

00:11:46.920 --> 00:11:52.800
A few silent seconds pass, smoke crawling&nbsp;
out from underneath the door to SCP-4934…&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:11:52.800 --> 00:11:59.520
before an almighty BOOM rings out, shaking the&nbsp;
entire house. Clambering back up to his feet,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:11:59.520 --> 00:12:04.280
Researcher Rex is amazed to the point of being&nbsp;
stricken with insane laughter to see that the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:12:04.280 --> 00:12:11.200
door to the study is still intact and the room&nbsp;
inside has no signs of blast damage whatsoever.&nbsp;

00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.520
Upon making his ninety-sixth&nbsp;
attempt to access SCP-4934,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:12:15.520 --> 00:12:21.200
Researcher Rex is convinced that he really has&nbsp;
gone insane after all this. Opening the door,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:26.640
he is greeted by yet another anomalous figure,&nbsp;
except this one is frighteningly familiar;&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:12:26.640 --> 00:12:31.240
it’s him. The humanoid entity bears&nbsp;
an identical resemblance to Rex and&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.760
mimics his movements as he tries to get&nbsp;
past the duplicate and enter the study.&nbsp;

00:12:35.760 --> 00:12:39.440
Each time, he is prevented from entry by&nbsp;
the entity performing the same movements&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:45.240
and actions that Rex is. This mimicry lasts for&nbsp;
around two minutes, at which point the duplicate&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:50.360
abruptly kisses Researcher Rex before&nbsp;
shoving him away and slamming the door.&nbsp;

00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:56.480
On the verge of ripping his own hair out, Rex&nbsp;
opens the door to the study one more time. At&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:00.960
this point, he’s expended too much effort to&nbsp;
let this anomalous entryway best him and has&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:06.080
consigned himself to whatever ridiculous&nbsp;
thing will happen next. But this time,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:10.600
on the one hundred and first attempt, the&nbsp;
door opens to reveal some red satin curtains,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:15.960
like those someone might expect to see on a stage.
Before Rex can reach out to part them, a creature&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:20.560
bursts out from behind, its head poking out&nbsp;
between the curtains. It seems to be some&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:20.560 --> 00:13:26.400
kind of porcine humanoid, walking bipedally,&nbsp;
possessing the features of a pig, but also at&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:26.400 --> 00:13:31.920
least the decency to dress itself, specifically in&nbsp;
a small tailcoat. Poking out between the curtains,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:31.920 --> 00:13:39.400
the creature stammers out a single phrase,&nbsp;
before shutting the door to SCP-4934;&nbsp;

00:13:39.400 --> 00:13:42.480
“Th-th-th-that’s all, folks!”
Following the creature’s sudden&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:47.960
disappearance, Rex is astounded to discover that,&nbsp;
after so much effort trying to get inside, he can&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:55.720
enter the study without further issue. SCP-4934 is&nbsp;
reclassified as ‘Neutralized’, and Researcher Rex&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:13:55.720 --> 00:14:00.640
is discharged on a three-week sabbatical after&nbsp;
a Foundation-appointed psychiatrist determines&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:14:00.640 --> 00:14:06.360
he is on the verge of a total mental breakdown.
Theories as to what exactly was causing these&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:12.400
animated anomalies to manifest at SCP-4934&nbsp;
range far and wide among speculating Foundation&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:14:12.400 --> 00:14:17.800
researchers. The initial explanation posited by&nbsp;
researchers is that the animated creatures are,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:14:17.800 --> 00:14:24.000
in actuality, a band of anomalous travelers from&nbsp;
another universe or plane of reality, designed by&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:31.720
some SCP Foundation personnel as SCP-4934-A,&nbsp;
or simply known otherwise as ‘Tune World.’&nbsp;

00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:36.280
This theory, more widely accepted among some&nbsp;
older members of staff, suggests that this group&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:14:36.280 --> 00:14:40.880
of interdimensional misfits were first encountered&nbsp;
by Chuck Jones at some point in the late thirties&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:14:40.880 --> 00:14:46.000
or early forties, and that their latent reality&nbsp;
warping capabilities and perpetual infighting with&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:52.040
each other inspired him to recreate the anomalous&nbsp;
group’s various hijinks in the form of animation.&nbsp;

00:14:52.040 --> 00:14:56.560
Some of the more overzealous SCP Foundation&nbsp;
researchers have expanded on this theory,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:14:56.560 --> 00:15:01.320
believing an outlandish claim that it is actually&nbsp;
possible for human beings to cross directly into&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:06.560
the creatures’ dimension of origin. At present,&nbsp;
this dimension still remains undiscovered. There&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:06.560 --> 00:15:10.600
have been various excavations conducted at&nbsp;
golf courses across the state of California,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:15.120
with Foundation staff bribing the owners of&nbsp;
these courses in order to sanction these digs.&nbsp;

00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:20.640
The goal is to attempt to reach a supposed&nbsp;
entry point to SCP-4934-A, which is believed&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:20.640 --> 00:15:25.640
to be located somewhere between the Earth’s crust&nbsp;
and the planet’s molten core. The search for this&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:25.640 --> 00:15:30.520
entry point is ongoing and currently costing the&nbsp;
Foundation an exorbitant amount of money in order&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:30.520 --> 00:15:35.440
to restore numerous destroyed golf courses.
There have, at present, been no additional&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.720
sightings of the creatures that protected Chuck&nbsp;
Jones’ study, on which his animated creations&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:45.120
were presumably based. However, a proposal was&nbsp;
submitted to SCP Foundation higher-ups and has&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:49.280
since been approved, allowing investigative&nbsp;
personnel to conduct a number of interviews&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:49.280 --> 00:15:53.720
with specific civilians. These are people who&nbsp;
are suspected of having had encounters with the&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:59.760
anomalous entities connected to SCP-4934 and&nbsp;
actually include high-profile public figures&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:15:59.760 --> 00:16:04.320
from the world of professional basketball.
Since announcing his retirement from the sport&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:09.920
in 1993, the SCP Foundation has been trying to&nbsp;
establish contact with Michael Jordan following&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:09.920 --> 00:16:15.520
a supposed incident believed to have involved&nbsp;
the SCP-4934 anomalies. For a brief period,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:15.520 --> 00:16:21.040
Jordan was reportedly missing from his home.&nbsp;
During this absence, an unknown pathogen seemingly&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:21.040 --> 00:16:26.480
affected several other prominent players at the&nbsp;
time; namely, Charles Barkley, Partick Ewing,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:32.200
Larry Johnson, Shawn Bradley, and Tyrone Bogues,&nbsp;
who were playing in the NBA for the Phoenix Suns.&nbsp;

00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:37.000
The source of this perceived outbreak remains&nbsp;
a mystery even to the SCP Foundation. However,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.160
it seemed to function similarly among&nbsp;
all five players. During a game,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:41.160 --> 00:16:45.880
each one spontaneously developed issues with&nbsp;
hand-eye coordination that severely affected&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:45.880 --> 00:16:50.200
their performances on the court. Medical and&nbsp;
psychological examinations of the five affected&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:55.600
players revealed nothing out of the ordinary.
However, before the SCP Foundation could launch&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:00.280
a full-scale investigation into the anomalous&nbsp;
illness, all present symptoms seemed to be&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:00.280 --> 00:17:06.400
miraculously cured after Barkley, Ewing, Johnson,&nbsp;
Bogues, and Bradley met with Michael Jordan in&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:11.480
private. In subsequent years, all of them have&nbsp;
refused to comment on the exact nature of this&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:16.480
meeting or what was discussed. Those that have&nbsp;
either only retained a vague recollection of&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:21.840
events or seem to disclose that they still don’t&nbsp;
fully understand what happened to them. All that&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:21.840 --> 00:17:26.360
is known is that, once Jordan had returned from&nbsp;
his brief disappearance, the talent of these other&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:26.360 --> 00:17:32.080
five basketball players was no longer affected.
The SCP Foundation is still attempting to contact&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:32.080 --> 00:17:36.200
Michael Jordan to discuss this incident and&nbsp;
whether or not he interacted with the anomalies&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:41.840
connected to SCP-4934. Research personnel have&nbsp;
since taken to categorising this incident,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:41.840 --> 00:17:46.840
and others like, it, a case of ‘Spatially&nbsp;
Peculiar Anomalies Converging on Earth,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:46.840 --> 00:17:52.120
and have also codenamed the 1993 event&nbsp;
as the ‘Jordan Anomalous Meeting One’.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:52.120 --> 00:17:58.240
This is often abbreviated to ‘SPACE JAM 1’.
There are also some personnel who suspect that&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:04.120
another incident took place more recently in 2021,&nbsp;
this time involving widely celebrated Los Angeles&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:18:04.120 --> 00:18:10.080
Lakers’ player LeBron James having an eerily&nbsp;
similar encounter with the SCP-4934 entities.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:18:10.080 --> 00:18:17.560
This is tentatively being referred to as the&nbsp;
‘James Anomalous Meeting Two’ or ‘SPACE JAM 2’,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:18:17.560 --> 00:18:22.600
however, there are a number of Foundation&nbsp;
staff that vehemently deny this ever occurred.&nbsp;

00:18:22.600 --> 00:18:27.320
Confirmation of these suspected incidents is still&nbsp;
being sought out by Foundation researchers. An&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:18:27.320 --> 00:18:32.240
alternative theory as to the origin of the&nbsp;
SCP-4934 entities has been presented by a&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:37.680
staff member. Their explanation suggests that the&nbsp;
creatures protecting Jones’ study were, in fact,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:43.200
creations brought to life by the illustrator’s own&nbsp;
imagination. While unsubstantiated, it has been&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:48.600
suggested that, through anomalous means, Chuck&nbsp;
Jones was capable of reality manipulation to some&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:18:48.600 --> 00:18:54.640
degree. If true, this seemingly did not present&nbsp;
any clear threat to reality during his lifetime.&nbsp;

00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:58.880
However, the claim that Jones possessed any&nbsp;
latent anomalous abilities, let alone the power&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:04.440
to create sentient life (if often not very&nbsp;
intelligent life), has been widely disputed.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:09.040
Numerous Foundation experts in reality warpers&nbsp;
have closely examined a number of his original&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:19:09.040 --> 00:19:14.440
drawings and studied every episode of Looney Tunes&nbsp;
that Chuck Jones was directly involved with. They&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:19.560
have detected nothing anomalous about any of his&nbsp;
work. Proponents of neither theory widely believe&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:19:19.560 --> 00:19:25.000
that the SCP-4934 entities existed separately&nbsp;
from Jones himself and were merely protecting&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:29.600
his home and study in the wake of his passing,&nbsp;
eventually departing once their grieving was&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:19:29.600 --> 00:19:36.680
done and leaving SCP-4934 neutralized.
In other words, that’s all, folks.&nbsp;
