Item #: SCP-3342

Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3342 is to be contained in a 7x7x7 metre concrete chamber. A surveillance team must keep watch over SCP-3342 from 1:00 to 20:00. Any contact with SCP-3342 that is not between the object and D-class or dying personnel, are to result in the affected persons being transported to a local church in █████ near site ██ to receive the Eucharist.

Foundation members experiencing organ failure with clearance level 1 or higher are to enter SCP-3342's chamber every nine months. D-class are only permitted to enter the chamber if the object has been moving clockwise for 24 hours. D-class who do come in contact with SCP-3342 are to be given a full pardon and sent back to civilisation immediately.

Religious artifacts that are placed in SCP-3342's chambers are not to be touched and must be anointed with holy water every Sunday.

Description: SCP-3342 is an ████████ grandfather clock. The object is 5m tall and decorated with straw. Decorations include spirals, stars, angels, and other religious figures resembling saints. The wood making up SCP-3342 is dated 0 AD and was shaped by Joseph, the foster father of Jesus.

SCP-3342 was discovered in a church located in ████, Italy at ██:██. SCP-3342's hands were moving clockwise at the moment of discovery. After containment, SCP-3342's hands concluded moving until a MTF officer posted with MTF-Alpha-3, who was suffering from █████, died nine months later. When confronted by Foundation personnel of clearance levels 1 and higher along with maintaining healthy vital signs, SCP-3342's hands move clockwise at the ratio of one second to three seconds on the clock. This event can be halted if confronted by dying personnel or the affected Foundation personnel is sent to the aforementioned church.

D-class who enter SCP-3342's chamber state that three men surround SCP-3342. The men, referred to as SCP-3342-2, wear luxurious clothing with purple dye. SCP-3342-2 present themselves as kings. SCP-3342-2 offer D-class personnel gifts of a cross, a rosary, and a carpenter's hammer, SCP-3342-2-a, SCP-3342-2-b, SCP-3342-2-c respectively. These gifts are not visible to anyone other than the receiver. SCP-3342's hands rotate counter-clockwise at a ratio of one second to one second backwards. When the clock rotates counter-clockwise for 24 hours, a dead convict with homicidal tendencies will return to society. These convicts are given a choice of becoming upstanding citizens or returning to criminal status and engaging in homicidal activities.

Dying personnel who enter SCP-3342's chambers state that they perceive SCP-3342 to be a man with large white wings connected to the shoulder blades, referred to as SCP-3342-3. The man scans the dying person for fifteen seconds. SCP-3342-3 then states that the dying person will be sent to heaven for judgment. Some personnel are sent back to Earth and die nine months later. This event is referred to as "The Anti-Birth". SCP-3342's hands remains still during those nine months.

When left alone, SCP-3342's hands rotate clockwise at a ratio of one second to one second forwards. As SCP-3342's hands rotate clockwise, trumpets will blast in stages. The following day, an event mirroring that of the seven trumpets in the Book of Revelations will take place in and around the facility. See addendum-3342-2.

Dr. █████: Who are you?

SCP-3342-3: Who do you think I am?

Dr. █████: Just answer the question.

[SCP-3342-3 remains motionless for 30 seconds]

Dr. █████: What is SCP-3342?

SCP-3342-3: The clock is a timer made by Joseph with the aid of God.

Dr. █████: Why a grandfather clock? The invention was not made until a few centuries later.

SCP-3342-3: When God helps you, you will find that you can do anything.

Dr. █████: You mentioned a timer. A timer for what?

SCP-3342-3: The return of the Messiah.

Addendum-3342-2: At ██/██/██, a long horn blow emitted from SCP-3342. Religious personnel claim it was one of the seven horns blowing. The next day, a temporary containment breach resulted in large amounts of blood in the ventilation shaft, resulting in blood to "rain" through the halls. A large fire also erupted in █████████ burning exactly a third of the forests in the region.

Addendum-3342-3: At ██/██/██, a man stating to be ██████ was captured by MTF officers. He was engaged in a mass burning of corpses that he claims to have killed. When confronted by SCP-3342, ██████ screamed and claimed to have witnessed hell. ██████ collapsed and died from multiple lacerations in the head and back.
