Item #: SCP-5000

Object Class: Thaumiel

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5000's texts are to be monitored for information pertaining to the Foundation's interests. Every 24 hours, all texts are to be transcribed and stored digitally. Only Level 5-5000 Clearance staff and O5 Command are to access these texts, and all protocols and decisions made in relation to texts from SCP-5000 are to be decided upon unanimously by O5 Command.

Description: SCP-5000 is an automaton that records past events and history, as well as events that will occur in the future, without outside assistance or input at a rate of 113 wpm. Materials used to build SCP-5000 suggest it was constructed around 1860.

Although there is no known pattern for which events SCP-5000 chooses to write about, since entering Foundation containment, there have been more texts gradually written about interests relating to the Foundation, including but not limited to:

• Anomalous objects, extranormal events, and unexplained locations
• Foundation cafeteria meal schedules
• Personnel promotions
• Group of Interest activities
• Containment breaches
• [DATA EXPUNGED]

All events recorded, if not interrupted or interfered with, will happen according to how SCP-5000 writes them. There is no consequence from SCP-5000 itself if events are interfered with, making it uncertain as to whether it is merely predictive or [DATA EXPUNGED].

Discovery: SCP-5000 was discovered on 12/25/1996 on West Tisbury, Massachusetts, when a call made by Chuck Tammemets, then-owner of Granary Gallery, to local law enforcement triggered certain keywords, rerouting his call to Foundation agents in the area. Mr. Tammemets escorted Foundation agents to a storage unit he had owned, containing SCP-5000. Upon discovering the nature of the anomaly and its history with Tammemets's family, and consulting with superiors, the decision was made to formally conduct an interview as Foundation agents.
