Idea Prison
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX presents no direct risk of breack, however does have cognitohazardous properties, meaning access is to be restricted. It is contained within a 3m³ room within site 19, and class A amnestics are to be kept in the container beside the door in preparation of the event of viewing SCP-XXXX causing undue distress.
Cameras are placed against both the far and near wall to SCP-XXXX, as cognitohazardous effects only occur when viewed directly.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a spherical cage measuring 2m in diameter made of steel, animal matter, and plant matter. Stainless steel bars provide structure, with a sixteen (16) brains of Bos Tauros, the common cow, spread equidistant around it. The bars are covered in further animal matter which, upon testing, was found to be Bos Tauros synapses. Despite a complete lack of blood these brains seem to be alive and capable of some thought, however this cannot be varified without catastrophically damaging SCP-XXXX. They do not, however appear to have sentience or sapience, and appear to only focus on what is contained within.
One of the brains is roughly stitched to a tube, similar in make up to an umbilical cord, but containing both plant and animal DNA. This connects the brain with a potted Sansevieria trifasciata, commonly referred to as a snake plant.
When viewed from a distance at least 1m from the nearest brain, or through any indirect means, the cage appears empty. However when the cage is viewed directly from a distance of less than 1m the subject percieves SCP-XXXX as a window showing them various XK-Class End of the World Scenarios, which vary from viewer to viewer, even if percieved at the same time, and can shift for an individual viewer over time. See Experiment Log SCP-XXXX-1.
SCP-XXXX came into the foundation's possession when a disguised figure approached embedded agent Akhtar when he was away from assignment at his family home on 3/6/19██. The individual identified themselves as the creator of SCP-XXXX. The disguised figure said that they had created the device to see whether they could catch the manifestation of a concept, and that when they realised they had "trapped the apocalypse", they realised that the device now had to be protected, and that the foundation were better financed and equipped than he was.
Particularly of note was that this was during an unapproved visit to family members without clearance to know anything about the foundation. It is not yet known how this individual located agent Akhtar who was, after being interviewed about the encounter (See Interview Log SCP-XXXX-A) was given Class B amnestics, and his behaviour watched and logged to look for potential information leaks. When none was found over the next thirty days the embedded agent was terminated due to security concerns.

Experiment Series SCP-XXXX-1-a

Name: Researcher Ames
Thesis: SCP-XXXX is the SCP equivalent of a parlour trick, it will display a horrifying image to an individual for the sake of a mere "jumpscare". I feel that as more SCP's are discovered, we are simply getting better at locating mildly anomalous objects.

Test I

Date: 4/9/19██
Subject D-842, Female Caucasian, asked to approach the anomaly. Described it as "fucking gross", but did so. Upon entering SCP-XXXX's area of effect she made noises to indicate she was impressed, and laughed as if watching something very entertaining. She was asked to describe when she was seeing:
"It's like Mad Max in there. Ha. Society is all burnt down. People are free. Guess we don't need you pigs around." D-842 stopped talking and watched the space within the sphere with a level of focus we had not yet seen in her.
Researcher's note: This does not match the description of the scenario as seen in collection of SCP-XXXX. Perhaps this is worthy of SCP classification.
After approximately 3 minutes of viewing D-842 became visibly distressed by what she was seeing. She was asked to describe it:
"Did you set this up? Is this some sort of sick torture? What do I see? I see me. Hundreds of me lying dead. Old me, young me. I see more and more of me in the distance. They are running towards survivors. Lashing out with their empty hands against the guns and knives that face them. What is that? That pit. What is that liquid. I'm throwing bodies into it, bodies of survivors, bodies of me-s and I am climbing out."
D-842 began to hyperventilate at this point and was not able to continue talking. D-842 was instructed to place a hand against the bars: D-842 was unresponsive. D-842 was threatened with discipline, up to and including termination: D-842 was unresponsive. When it became clear she would not be able to regain herself without assistance she was told that there was a space in the back corner of SCP-XXXX's room where she would not encounter the visions.
She immediately retreated there, and was treated with class A amnestics, and was removed from the area.

Test II

Date: 5/9/19██
Subject D-1201, Asian Male, asked to approach the anomaly. Entered SCP-XXXX's area of affect and stopped. Without being asked he began talking describing the wind taking the form of a giant humanoid. Of people choking in its presence as it drew all of the air into it, and as it walked it collected more air, and animals and plants collapsed and died in its wake. It grew as it travelled and over the next fifteen minutes D-1201 described the different attempts made by various goups to stop the wind. Conventional weapory failed, and when nuclear weapons did work, the creature then reformed at it's original size elsewhere and continued on its march.
D-1201 was then instructed to place his hand between the bars of the cage. D-1201 told me to fuck myself. D-1201 was informed that SCP-XXXX was able to view the future, and that the sacrifice of his hand could prevent the event from happening.
D-1201 placed his hand between the bars of SCP-XXXX, and immediately began screaming. Cameras could not observe anything interacting with D-1201's arm, the bovine brain nearest to him moved for the first time on record.
After approximately twelve seconds of screaming, as individuals were preparing to bring him out, D-1201 staggered away from SCP-XXXX. He was pulled from the room, and his arm inspected. It had swollen, and blood vessels had popped throughout the exposed area, matching the damage you would expect to see in vacuum exposure, with no anomalous qualities found.
Class A amnestics were given, and D-1201 was sent for medical treatment

Test III

[DATA EXPUNGED]
Researcher's note: I am at present recovering from a negative reaction to Class B Amnestics. What information I have been approved to know about the test is this: A Class D personnel entered the chamber, and upon getting within SCP-XXXX's area of effect, described a XK-Class End of the World Scenario caused by an SCP which requires Level 4 Clearance. There is no conceivable way in which the D Class could have known of the SCP, and has since been terminated.
At this point I withdraw my thesis that this SCP is a parlour trick, and am now working on the basis that the descriptions of it "containing the apocalypse" are not an exaggeration. This will take considerably more thought.

Test IV

Date: 10/12/19██
Researcher's note: Agent Collins assisting.
Subjects D-1201 and D-842 have been retained within custody in preparation for this test. The test is to determine whether individuals exposed to SCP-XXXX will witness the same XK-Class End of the World Scenario when exposed to SCP-XXXX a second time. It will also determine whether the XK-Class End of the World Scenario appears the same to multiple subjects exposed to SCP-XXXX simultaneously.
The subjects were instructed to approach XXXX. Both did, though 842 described the object as "fucking gross". Upon enterring the area of effect 842 appeared taken aback, whereas 1201 appeared elated, and approached SCP-XXXX. Both subjects were asked to describe what they saw withing SCP-XXXX.
D-1201 reported to me that he saw warm light. A perfect sunset over the horizon that lasted forever. The whole world was basking in its glow. He went on to describe mushroom clouds, and people being held in mid air from falls. He said that no one was dying, and that everyone felt at peace. It seems whatever kind of bomb was set off in this scenario also affected time.
Subjects have consistently displayed knowledge of that is happening within events that could not possibly be seen, so D-1201 was told to close his eyes, and continue describing what he witnessed. He described more about the state of beings and acceptance that those within the apocalypse felt,but could no longer describe how the scenario appeared.
Concurrently D-842 was describing what she witnessed to Agent Collins:
"It's all wrong. Meat where there shouldn't be. It's all turned to meat."
Agent Collins asked D-842 to explain.
"All the stones, the bricks, the ground, it's all tured to flesh, and bone. The trees are meat, and the seas are fat. And all the people, they are all made of rocks.
D-842 was informed that SCP-XXXX was able to view the future, and that the sacrifice of his hand could prevent the event from happening. She initially refused, but eventually approached and placed her hand between the bars of the cage, and seemed to experience no pain as it turned to stone.
D-1201 then stepped forward without being asked and placed his hand into XXXX, with seemingly no effect. Both subjects were allowed to leave once it had been ascertained that the stone on 842 was not spreading.
D-1201 explained that he was no longer able to move his hand, but seemed positive and unconcerned about this.
Both subjects were terminated. The arm of D-842 crumbled into a fine dust that has since been identified as powdered non-anomalous sandstone. The arm of D-1201 has proven imperious to small arms fire and intense heat, and is awaiting further testing.
