Cosmic Stopwatch

[DISCLAIMER: THE SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES, DESCRIPTION, AND TO SOME DEGREE, THE ADDENDA OF THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENT IS OUTDATED.]

[The following is the Foundation's initial documentation of SCP-XXXX]

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Presumably Thaumiel

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be guarded under maximum security at all times. No individual is allowed in the structure, except for selected Foundation O5 Members who will be checking for damages.

Should maintenance be needed, two selected Foundation engineers will repair the damage, while monitored by three O5 members.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a 20 x 20 x 20 meter monolith structure. On the back of the Monolith is a wall with complicated electronic, mechanical and cognitive engineering. On the center of that wall is a lock. Attached to the wall 8.7 meters below the lock (1.3 meters above ground) is a set of three hand-print scanners with statements 'O5 Access', 'High Command Access' and 'High Priest Access' digitally presented on the scanners.

The Foundation sent O5-9 to place their hand on the scanner. The scanner bling to green and releases two Data Chips titled 'the Final Broadcast' and 'Protocol: A Whole New World'.

Addendum XXXX-1:

The following is the broadcast titled 'the Final Broadcast' found in the data chip with the same title.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Appolyon

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is housed in the Ultra-Digit Adapter 'Monolith-Aleph' in Site #██. Monolith-Aleph is a 20 x 20 x 20 meter chamber. SCP-XXXX is attached and locked into the mainframe wall adapter (Mother-Wall). Monolith-Aleph is to be guarded 24/7 under maximum security. No personnel is to be allowed within Monolith-Aleph's chamber, except for select members of the SCP Foundation's O5 Council, the Global Occult Coalition's High Command, and High Priest Members of the Church of the Broken God.

Any physical contact with the Mother-Wall is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. Exemption only applies when the Monolith is claimed to be in need of repair. In this case, a representative from the SCP Foundation, the Global Occult Coalition and the Church of the Broken God will perform repair work, while two members from the O5 Council, High Command and High Priest of the Church of the Broken God will monitor the maintenance work.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a seemingly regular palm-sized plastic stopwatch. On the back of SCP-XXXX are several stickers with '24 October 2025' written on the back, as well as a data chip.

Physically speaking, SCP-XXXX does not possess any anomalous properties, apart from the fact that since the Foundation's first retrieval of SCP-XXXX in 1978, the monitor has been showing '00.00.01'. It is impossible to Carbon Date SCP-XXXX, as every attempt will result in an error. SCP-XXXX's internal hardware seems to be comprised of

Addendum:

Timelines-א

Description: Timeline-א (Alef) leaves stickers on the back of SCP-XXXX. '24 October 2025' is printed on the sticker.

Rotation: 37 Known Timelines.

Timelines-ב

Description: Timeline-ב (Bet) leaves simple data chips on the back of SCP-XXXX, containing the first digital documents on SCP-XXXX.

The following is a rough summary on the document(s):

---

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid Appolyon

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be locked in a 2 x 2 x 2 meter vault.The current documentation of SCP-XXXX is to be attached to the back of SCP-XXXX via the Yottabyte Drive.

This SCP cannot be 'contained'. We can only do the best to let the next world know of the coming apocalypse.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a seemingly regular digital plastic stopwatch on timer mode. Settings on the stopwatch is unchangeable, and will always be left on timer mode.

Foundation technicians' studies on SCP-XXXX's inner workings resulted in little results, as it seems to possess a pocket dimensions, with nano-sized gears and mechanical workings spanning over a space beyond the stopwatch's capacity.

It was concluded, however, that based on available evidence, 1 'minute' that passes on the stopwatch would span over 138,000,000 years. As of the 20th of May 2019, the stopwatch shows 00.00.01 on the monitor.

Any attempt on carbon-dating SCP-XXXX will result in an error. The Foundation can only assume that the stopwatch is as old as the universe.

When the stopwatch hits 00.00.00, it is assumed the universe will end reality itself, and a new universe is spawned, with the course of its history similar to its predecessors.

The only known way to carry an item from one universe to the next is through physically attaching the item to SCP-XXXX.

When the Foundation first found SCP-XXXX, 37 stickers labelled '24 October 2025' was found on the back of SCP-XXXX, which is the assumed date of the universal reset.

---

Rotation: 86 Known Timelines.

Timelines-ג

Description: Timeline-ג (Gimel) are timelines that have successfully developed technology to delay the date of the universal reset. The universal reset is said to have been delayed to 16 January 2026, a two month 20 day difference from the original date.

Rotations: 937 Known Timelines

Timeline-ר

Description: Timeline-ר (Daled) is the first of two timelines that established an alliance between the Foundation, the Global Occult Coalition and the Church of the Broken God. The alliance, known as the 'Last Alliance', devised a blueprint that would terminate the effects of SCP-XXXX permanently. The device would be called the 'Monolith-Aleph', which will act as a Thaumiel to SCP-XXXX.

It would seem that the Foundation did not have sufficient time to materialize plan, and the universe had reset, leaving the blueprint attached to SCP-XXXX.

Rotation: 1 Known Timeline

Timeline-ה

Description: Timeline-ה is our current timeline we live in. We have successfully collaborated with the Last Alliance to create Monolith-Aleph, but I'm afraid that the universe has to reset one more time to successfully terminate SCP-XXXX.

Monolith-Aleph is a 20 x 20 x 20 m structure. Monolith-Aleph's back wall is a motherboard, called 'Mother-Wall', made of nano-technology, a series of gears and cogs, wires and software/hardware engines. Some of the engineering are only known to the Church of the Broken God, and can be considered an anomaly themselves. In the center of the Mother-Wall is a 5-layer lock which will house SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX will be engineered to connect to the Mother-Wall, which will allow SCP-XXXX to output negative digits, therefore terminating SCP-XXXX's effects forever.

Once SCP-XXXX's timer hits '00.00.00', the universe will experience its effects once more. We can only hope that it works in the next timeline.

Rotation: Now.

Timeline-ז

Description: Timeline-ז (Zayen) will be the final timeline in the cycle. It is expected that Timeline-ז will continue the course of history past 26 January 2026, and thrive on until the natural collapsing of the universe, or an intervention of another anomaly.

It's up to you now. We're trusting everything on you. You're our hope. Live on for us. Remember us.

Rotation: 1.

[It is a pleasure to meet you thus far, Foundation. And I trust that you, reading this, will secure this anomaly for the rest of YOUR eternity. Our eternity is gone. Gone for you. Do it for us.]

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: [Once Appolyon. But it is gone now. We did it for you.] Thaumiel

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX must be guarded under maximum security at all times. No personnel is to be allowed within SCP-XXXX, except for select members of the SCP Foundation's O5 Council, the Global Occult Coalition's High Command, and High Priest Members of the Church of the Broken God.

[Sometimes it's better to make allies with your enemies. I know this seems like a stretch, but it was true. The SCP Foundation had joined forces with the Global Occult Coalition and the Church of the Broken God to defeat this fate. We did it for you. Do not disappoint.]
