Now that I think about it, the staff helping the humans against 001 kinda makes sense.

[@LevenLappi]

@Prota Modz The funny thing is that 3008's employees are just sheets of skin so I don't know if they can melt, they probably can't so the flesh rip them apart edit: found the part from 3008 "They're just skin, or something that looks like skin, all the way through. No muscle, no bone, no organs. Are they even really alive in the first place?" So the question is they're probably not even biological in the first place so they can't really melt, so it's probably annoying to 001 to deal with, considering they have to rip the employees apart if they want to not get constantly beat on

The real interesting part is the Infinite Ikea is the same and spans over all dimensions, taking people from all different SCP universes and different dimensional scenarios, so this is technically all canon at least for the Infinite Ikea, they just technically let the doors open to a very bad alternate reality, knowing the nature of SCP-001 When Days Break though, the entity using the sun as it’s avatar’s probably forced the doors open itself, and the SCP could’ve technically began invading other dimensional realities with the Infinite Ikea as it’s launching ground May whatever gods or higher beings out there help us against the godforsaken sun should the Ikea fall.

WeaponXSigma Knowing the nature of 001 When day breaks, it’d probably avoid those zones as the Ikea most likely did it already or is void to those rules, same for Dethaw’s question, the flesh will always find its way back to the home dimension, they aren’t alive after all, but they are guided by whatever turned them, and whatever turned them has overwhelming power, so overwhelming it overcomes most SCP’s and forces them into subservience, even said to of melted 173 which is made of stone, which shows sheer signs of intelligence and the ability to understand anything with a consciousness or animate
