Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently contained at Provisional Reliquary Area-27. SCP-XXXX is not to be removed from containment under any circumstances. Any individual who wishes to access SCP-XXXX must undergo psychological assessment. Individuals that show suitable psychological resilience are then to be interviewed and thoroughly vetted.
Direct contact with SCP-XXXX is prohibited, and research personnel are to wear gloves at all times. All personnel participating in testing of SCP-XXXX must undergo a mandatory therapy session with an onsite therapist once testing concludes.
BY ORDER OF THE OVERSEER COUNCIL
NO METAL/LOID1 OBJECTS ARE ALLOWED AT PROVISIONAL RELIQUARY AREA-27
SCP-XXXX
Description: SCP-XXXX is a Roman Standard2 measuring 1.6 meters tall. SCP-XXXX consists of two parts, SCP-XXXX-A, and SCP-XXXX-B.
SCP-XXXX-A is an eagle constructed of an unknown metal that resembles polished bronze. Metallurgic analysis has determined that SCP-XXXX-A is constructed of a mechanical compound consistent with an inactive piece of SCP-███. The words, "MORS CERTA, HORA INCERTA" were found etched into the back of SCP-XXXX-A. This phrase, translated from Latin, reads: "Our life must end, we know not when".
SCP-XXXX-B is a 1.3 meter tall pole made of silver adorned with gold. SCP-XXXX-B displays no anomalous effects known to the foundation.
Provisional Reliquary Area-27 personnel report a lingering feeling of existential dread and hopelessness when interacting with SCP-XXXX. Testing has shown that subjects with long term exposure to SCP-XXXX report symptoms similar to those diagnosed with clinical depression.
On September 4th, 2018, Foundation field agents operating in Sicily, Italy, reported heightened Church of the Broken God activity. Shortly after, a radio transmission was intercepted by communications personnel at Site-77 in the L'Aquila province of Southern Italy. Foundation personnel were unable to translate the contents of the signal, although they were able to trace the origin point to an abandoned temple complex near Caltanissetta, Sicily. Site-77 personnel were dispatched the following morning to commence reconnaissance of the area and report back as soon as possible.
Once Church of the Broken God presence was corroborated, members of MTF Stigma-9 ("Evolved from Naturally Occurring Gears, Levers and Pulleys") were tasked with conducting a raid on the temple complex. The following is the transcript of the audio and video log of the raid.

[BEGIN LOG]
ALPHA: Alright, everyone set?
Bravo, Charlie, and Delta all indicate they are set.
ALPHA: Alpha set, all set. Lets go.
The team begins to move in. Each member is equipped with a pair of night vision goggles, and a sidearm with both a laser sight and flashlight attached. Additionally, Alpha is equipped with a shoulder mounted camera.
BRAVO: What does that say?
Bravo points his firearm at an archway and turns on their flashlight, which illuminates the words "MORS CERTA, HORA INCERTA" engraved in it.
DELTA: That's Latin, if I recall it's a phrase that means "death is certain, it's hour uncertain".
BRAVO: Well, that's reassuring.
Alpha turns to Bravo and Delta.
ALPHA: Cut the chatter. And Bravo, turn your flashlight off. We're supposed to be undetected.
Bravo turns off their flashlight. The team continues on.
Shortly after, the team stops and turns to Charlie. He is inspecting a pillar with a gear etched into it.
CHARLIE: Everything here, it's all crumbled and ruined. Who came here and broke this?
ALPHA: Charlie, are you okay? Now's not the time to get all philosophical.
A gunshot is heard, and a bullet strikes the pillar above Charlie's head.
BRAVO: Get down!
Alpha ducks into cover and returns fire. After a short exchange of gunfire, the team kills two Church cultists.
DELTA: Anyone hit?
ALPHA: Looks like we're all good. Charlie, what the fuck was that about?
CHARLIE: Never mind, just some idea that popped in my head. Lets just keep going.
The team continues on until they reach a hole in the middle of the complex. A winding staircase descends down the hole, and the team proceeds down.
