An image of SCP-5161, a simple ornate leather banded watch.
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS CLASSIFIED AND NOT TO BE VIEWED BY ANY UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL
Item#: SCP-5161
Object Class: Keter
MESSAGE FROM O5 COMMAND:
ANY PERSONELL AWARE OF Dr. █████ ARE NOT PERMITTED ACCESS TO OR INTERACTION WITH ANY INSTANCE OF SCP-5161.
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-5161 is to be contained in a four-meter cubed containment cell sealed off by 6-inch-thick steel airlock doors, only accessible when granted access by Site Director ██████ or higher-ranking staff. Any interactions with SCP-5161 are to be carried out while under supervision of MTF Epsillon-11 (Nine Tailed Fox)
Any and all D-Class personnel or otherwise exposed to SCP-5161, designated as SCP-5161-B or SCP-5161-C, are to be immediately terminated by any means available to security or other available containment teams. Unless cleared by Site Director-██████ as well as the O5 Council, for study in individual cases affected by the object.
In the instance of a mass containment breach or █████ Event, or if the Site comes under attack by the group known as The Disciples of Old: Site Director-██████ has clearance to, if no other means of containing affected personnel are attainable, activate on site nuclear warheads to prevent an AK-Class End of the world scenario.
Description:
SCP-5161 is designated as a simple gold plated, leather banded watch with no visible hands or depiction of standard time increments other than an ornately crafted gold “M” at the center of the watch. Further investigation into the objects inner mechanisms have been unsuccessful which has led researchers deeming the object indestructible by known means of matter alteration or destruction currently known by the foundation.
SCP-5161 was discovered after the foundation came to be aware of a large number of disappearances in ████████ Alberta, Canada on ██/██/2018. A group known as The Disciples of Old was discovered to be the cause, upon investigation the group revealed that the individuals who went missing underwent drastic cognitive changes and showed no recollection of their past lives. The group appears to have used SCP-5161 to convert many of the disappeared individuals.
The group is designated extremely dangerous and should be avoided at all costs other than surveillance purposes unless stated otherwise by O5 Command. The location of SCP-5161 is never to be disclosed to any personnel without strict clearance from O5 Command. Any personnel captured by The Disciples of Old are to be remotely terminated. Even though the group is no longer in possession of SCP-5161, they still contain a great deal of SCP-5161-B instances and supposedly a large group of SCP-5161-C instances.
ALL FURTHER TESTING HAS BEEN PROHIBITED BY O5 COMMAND UNLESS EXCLUSIVELY OVERSEEN BY DR. █████. ANY UNAUTHORIZED TESTING OR EXPOSURE TO SCP-5161 WILL BE GROUNDS FOR IMMEDIATE TERMINATION.
SCP-5161-A:
The object seems to be bound to an entity classified as SCP-5161-A or “Michael” as researchers have discovered through testing of personnel with the object. The entity has been designated as sentient and highly intelligent, subjects or personnel exposed to the object are compelled to investigate it unless SCP-5161-A deems them “unworthy”.
SCP-5161-A seems to have standards for subjects exposed to SCP-5161, while the entity is docile it determines if the characteristics of exposed subjects are deemed “worthy” of manipulation or manifestation of SCP-5161-A.
SCP-5161-A’s categories for those labeled as “worthy” seem to align with personal characteristics of the subject including but not limited to: high intellectual capacity and overall intelligence, moderate to low emotional stability, amount of suffrage experienced (amount varying with no predictability), high strength of will, and a history of psychological issues.
In full manifestations of SCP-5161-A the affected SCP-5161-B will be instantly taken over and any semblance of former personality traits are completely undetectable. While in manifestation effects can differ drastically; when docile SCP-5161-A displays clear signs of anger issues, manic depression, and sociopathic tendencies. SCP-5161-A describes itself as a “forgotten King”. See Addendum: █████-Research Log: 5161-A_2
While SCP-5161-A is manifested in a “worthy” instance of SCP-5161-B it displays highly advanced psychokinetic, psionic, memetic, and minor reality bending abilities. While unwilling to perform tests other than verbal in these instances, abilities were minimally showcased during a █████ Event. See Addendum: ███████████-██████ Entry: SCP-5161-A-1/█████-Event-1.0
Studies of SCP-5161-A/B have led to the discovery that a more advanced manifestation of “Michael” can occur. In interviews SCP-5161-A has revealed that his existence can manifest if its former body can be located and brought into contact with SCP-5161. SCP-5161-A refers to this event as it’s “final struggle”. The person Johnathon ██████ has been noted as SCP-5161-A’s original body. See Addendum: █████-Research Log: SCP-5161-A_3
THE FOLLOWING SCP-5161 INSTANCES ARE NOTED TO HAVE A MENTAL CONNECTION TO SCP-5161-A, NO INFORMATION OR TESTS ARE PERMITTED FOR THIS REASON.
SCP-5161-B:
When a subject is deemed “worthy” by SCP-5161-A said subject will attach SCP-5161 to their wrist, physical changes can be noticed on the subject after as little as 5 minutes depending on the mental strength of the subject. Subjects under the influence of SCP-5161/A are designated as SCP-5161-B. Instances of physical occurrences with SCP-5161-B have been noted to begin with discoloration of the eyes to a translucent grey, outlined by a purple fluid luminosity.
After prolonged exposure of (time varying per case) upwards of twenty-four hours, the skin of SCP-5161-B develops a black rigid carbon-based exoskeleton. Accompanied by elongation of the limb’s, jaw, and neck with reformation of the chest cavity to accommodate a second heart and set of lungs abstract to normal human anatomy.
SCP-5161-B who have metamorphosized to this extent are reclassified as SCP-5161-C or “The Awoken”. The SCP-5161-D will experience an unpreventable constant pain unaffected by any known NSAIDS or sedatives. Refer to SCP-5161-C and see Addendum: ███████████-██████ Entry: SCP-5161-D/█████-Event-2.3
SCP-5161-B-1:
Subjects deemed “unworthy” by SCP-5161-A, the subject will discard SCP-5161 and will slowly suffer mental deterioration, severity and time frame varying. The mental deterioration will begin with the subject experiencing mild schizophrenic like episodes normally consisting of the subject hearing the voice of SCP-5161-A and loud scratching noises behind walls and doors. After an average time frame of 1-2 weeks “unworthy” individuals within a one kilometer radius who have had direct prior exposure with SCP-5161 will undergo extreme psychological distress with prior symptoms worsening to a degree that will force them to kill others labeled as the “unworthy” even if other subjects have not been exposed to SCP-5161. Individuals affected to this point will scream that they have been condemned by SCP-5161-A and that they “must purge the world in his name”.
Alternative changes have been noted in more extreme cases, those changes consisting of: Loss of all pigmentation in the subject’s skin and eyes, as well as a density increase of the skeletal structure including teeth. Subjects who have undergone these changes are to be referred to as SCP-5161-B-1.
SCP-5161-C:
SCP-5161-C will remain docile until provoked or till it senses a being labeled as “worthy”, the methods of how this is discovered by SCP-5161-C are still unknown.
SCP-5161-C instances are to be considered extremely dangerous and must be constantly observed by MTF Epsilon-11.
SCP-5161-C as mentioned develops a black rigid carbon-based exoskeleton. Accompanied by elongation of the limb’s, jaw, and neck with reformation of the chest cavity to accommodate a second heart and set of lungs abstract to normal human anatomy.
Under autopsy it has been noted to also develop sensory organs in the base of its neck and hips. It is hypothesized that these organs are responsible for both instances’ extreme environmental awareness and how it determines the classification of those around it.
Accounts from researchers and cases of SCP-5161-B/C have shown that SCP-5161-A can manifest within the affected subject as a separate personality to interact with their surroundings or individuals within the vicinity at will. The manifestations of SCP-5161-A are recorded to begin with SCP-5161-B/C experiencing visual hallucinations of a well-dressed man in a black overcoat, with similar eyes to the affected individual. Although while manifested within instances of SCP-5161-C it does not possess its normal psychokinetic, psionic, memetic, and minor reality bending abilities.

The following is a transcribed video log:
Dr. Williams: Hello SCP-5161-B, how are you feeling today?
SCP-5161-B: Do you really need to call me that? After what you’ve put me through?! *5161-B begins to shout and struggle in their restraints*
Dr. Williams: My apologies, Jason. Now, how are you feeling today.
SCP-5161-B: Oh, just fucking peachy doc! Had some great ramen yesterday in between GOING FUCKING INSANE. WHO IS MICHAEL, WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!?!
Dr. Williams: Please Jason, calm yourself. What have you been hearing, what has “Michael” told you?
SCP-5161-B: I… Can’t tell YOU! *5161-B begins thrashing even harder against their restraints, hyperventilating, and looking around the room in fear* No, no, no, no! Not again, please! I can’t take this anymore, for the love of god just fucking KILL ME! PLEASE, I can feel him in my skull, it’s like being eaten alive! JUST FUCKING KILL ME!!! *SCP-5161-B-1 bites a massive chunk of flesh from a researcher’s neck attempting to tighten 5161-B-1’s restraints*
Dr. Williams: Security! God damn it Jason!
█████-Research Log: 5161-A_2
Dr. Alexi: Hello SCP-5161-A, I’ve heard you wish to enact an interview? I’m glad you’ve allowed this to happen.
SCP-5161-A: You will address me by my name, I don’t want this interaction to become hostile doctor. But yes, as am I. I requested this interview to illustrate a few things about my… predicament.
Dr. Alexi: I’s sorry SCP… Michael. I will gladly indulge you after you’ve answered a few questions for me.
*SCP-5161-A’s expression grows angry as the walls and objects within the room begin shaking violently for a moment*
SCP-5161-A: No doctor. You will listen first. I called this meeting; I will be the one to lead it.
Dr. Alexi: Alright, alright, Michael. What is it you wish to talk about?
SCP-5161-A: Thank you. Now, I’m here because I need to find a particular individual. To finally be rid of this Final Struggle. I’m also here to gather disciples but that’s already been somewhat implied; but I do quite enjoy the disciples you’ve provided me thus far; their personalities are rather entertaining.
But I’m straying from my initial point. The man I’m here for; are you aware of a man named Johnathon █████?
*Dr Alexi visibly begins to sweat and pauses for a moment*
Dr. Alexi: █████… No, I’m sorry I don’t know anyone by that name. Why do you need to find them?
*The room darkens to a purple hue, the walls and other appliances in the containment cell begin warping and blending together. SCP-5161-A’s eyes grow to a dark purple hue dripping an energy of similar color as it stands and places both hands on the table; its restraints appearing to melt away*
SCP-5161-A: Now Doctor, it seems like you aren’t telling me the truth. You wouldn’t be hiding anything from me, would you?
*Doctor Alexi begins panicking and rushes for the door screaming but as Alexi begins striking the door his hands melt into the steel*
Dr. Alexi: Open the fucking door!! Epsilon, we ha- AGHHHH!!! Please!! I swear I’m telling the truth, for the love of god!!!
*SCP-5161-A walks directly through the table towards Dr. Alexi outstretching a single hand and pulls Alexi from the door severing his hands at the base, Alexi screaming in response but silencing abruptly as his throat slams into SCP-5161-A’s hand*
SCP-5161-A: Apologies Doctor, but you really have given me no choice. Now, lets see what you know.
*SCP-5161-A begins to place SCP-5161 on Dr. Alexi, the footage cuts out after remote explosives are detonated collapsing the containment cell*

███████████-██████ Entry: SCP-5161-C/█████-Event-2.3
The following is a transcribed video log:
*Unintelligible screaming*
Dr. William: Only a week for this one… *Dr. Williams clears his throat* SCP-5161-C what is it you’ve become?
*5161-C ceases screaming abruptly and speaks without moving its mouth in the tone of a well-mannered middle age man of north American descent, the same as SCP-5161-A and proceeds to leap up the wall to match the height of the view-port*
SCP-5161-C: Please doctor, you are more than aware of my name. If you don’t address me by it there will be severe consequences. But to answer your question, this disciple of mine has become one of the Awoken, last I checked you were privy to this information as you’ve sent me so *a cold laugh is heard from 5161-C” many disciples thus far.
Dr. William: Y-yes, I am already aware, but you also know that this is for research purposes. And if you attempt to enter this observatory MTF Epsilon-11 is authorized to terminate your current instance.
*5161-C lets out an exaggerated sigh*
SCP-5161-C: Yes, yes, I’m aware. I have no intentions of harming you, at the moment at least.
Dr. Williams: Good… Now what exactly is an “Awoken”?
SCP-5161-C: They’re simply those who I’ve deemed worthy to be my follower and enact my will. Nothing more, nothing less.
Dr. Williams: Well, how are they a follower if their personality and everything that made them sentient is replaced by your will? Wouldn’t they just be mindless puppets, not follo…
*Before Dr. Williams can finish 5161-C strikes the glass and nearly destroys the view-port as the concrete surrounding the window crack along with it*
SCP-5161-C: DO NOT CALL THEM PUPPETS. THEY GAVE THEMSELVES TO MY WILL. You simply don’t understand what they’ve become. They’re apart of me, my disciples are loved.
Dr. Williams: One more outburst and I will be forced to order your termination, now get away from the window 5161-C.
SCP-5161-C: Apologies. Your arrogance irritates me Doctor.
*SCP-5161-C drops to the floor and stands with its arms crossed*
Dr. Williams: Thank you. Where was I… Right, how exactly are they loved? If they’re transformed into these grotesque… Monsters…
*5161-C leaps once again up to the window but bursts through it this time leaping on top of Dr. Williams, the video feed cuts off with the shredded corpse of Dr. Williams slamming into the observatory camera*

The Following is a transcribed video log:
Dr. █████: Hello Michael. Before you lash out just know this will be the last time you see me. And the second you decide to do so, the Disciple you’re occupying and all other instances will be terminated. So, lets talk.
*SCP-5161-A’s expression briefly becomes volatile and the room changes hue and shakes, it then lets out a cold laugh*
SCP-5161-A: Oh ████, you’ve always known how to hold the blade to my neck so to speak. Lovely to see you again after all these centuries. You really haven’t changed. Other than your terrible last name, my goodness.
Oh, I do apologize for Dr. Williams, Alexi, Morrigan, and Keller. I really did enjoy their company, but it really couldn’t be helped!
*SCP-5161-A continues laughing*
Dr. █████: Yes, I’m sure you are. What are you really, and what is this Final Struggle you refer to?
SCO-5161-A: ████ you know the answers. Why not just tell your pathetic foundation.
Dr. █████: Michael, answer the questions, I won’t repeat them again.
SCP-5161-A: Pathetic piece of… I am Michael, the Forgotten King. The last true god of this Plaintive world. My Final Struggle is binding with █████████ █████ and consuming his being. HAPPY WITH THAT, YOU INSIPID NEANDERTHAL?!
*The room begins to warp as SCP-5161-A launches himself toward the observatory window as it is fired upon by MTF Epsilon-11*
Dr. █████: Yes, thank you Michael.
*the footage ends as Dr. █████ presses a button on his console and SCP-5161-A collapses to the ground lifeless*
