SCP-261 appears to be a basic vending machine equipped to vend food and beverage items. When money is placed into SCP-261 and a three-digit number is entered on the keypad, SCP-261 will vend a random item. SCP-261 is capable of operating with no external power supply, but operation in this state will cause “unstable” vending to occur much more quickly than normal. Items dispensed by SCP-261 should be reviewed by Site Health and Safety officials before consumption.
