Item #: SCP-5000

Object Class: Neutralised

Special Containment Procedures: The Temporal Anomalies Department is to take any steps necessary to prevent the recurrence of SCP-5000, including the continued use of Project Gregorian. All history books, media and calendars have been modified to remove all traces of SCP-5000 and its effects. SCP-5000 is to be treated as a non-existent phenomenon in conversations and discussions.

Should a human experience SCP-5000 in any way, they are to be detained and injected with a Class-T amnestic before being released, where they will be subsequently monitored by MTF Tau-2 ('Time Keepers') operatives in the event that they experience SCP-5000 again.

Description: SCP-5000 is February 30th on the Gregorian Calendar, a temporal phenomenon that occurs every 4 years.

Although the reason behind it is still not known, every occurrence of SCP-5000 in recorded history has involved an deadly unnatural event, including conflicts, massacres and incidents, that begin at the start of SCP-5000 and conclude before the end of SCP-5000.

FILE: Notable SCP-5000 Occurrences

Year	Incident	Extra Notes
1832	Eruption of Mount Huolong in China.	Records written prior to the eruption reveal that 'Mount Huolong' had previously been a flat grass field.
1900	Worldwide massacres in multiple countries, including the USA and England.	All massacres were conducted at roughly the same time, and allegedly involved several weapons not produced in that time period.
1940	Battle of New York	Occurred during the Seventh Occult War. The last occurence of SCP-5000 following the successful activation of Project Gregorian.

Due to the successful activation of Project Gregorian in 1939, SCP-5000 has been isolated and successfully moved to a separate reality (SCP-5000-1), essentially removing it from the Foundation's current reality. Despite this, several individuals (SCP-5000-2) still possess the innate ability to experience SCP-5000 on their own for unknown reasons.

Instances of SCP-5000-2 most commonly claim that they experience SCP-5000 as an 'ordinary day' using a method similar to that of lucid dreaming, with the exception that their bodies and minds are entirely awake in the process and that they are free to move around SCP-5000-1 as a result. In addition, they commonly describe SCP-5000-1 as a 'barren place' free of any humans, occasionally filled with the remains of 'dated' buildings and the remnants of human weapons.
