Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-017. It is to be provided any reading materials requested, and given a computer without any networking capabilities for entertainment purposes.

SCP-XXXX is allowed free roam of Site-017 between the hours of 9:00 and 17:00 so long as it is accompanied by at least two security personnel. It is to be considered to have Level 0 clearance, and Level XXXX/2 clearance. SCP-XXXX is not to come in contact with any other anomalies unless permission has been granted for research purposes by the site director or any researcher with Level XXXX/4 clearance.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a human woman of European descent born January 13, 1996. Prior to containment, SCP-XXXX was a resident of ████████, Wisconsin named Sarah ██████.²

SCP-XXXX's only known anomalous trait is knowledge of future events happening on or before January 12, 2051. This effect seems to primarily extend to events happening on a global scale, or in the vicinity of SCP-XXXX itself, though some deviations from this pattern have been noted. It additionally claims knowledge of the Foundation that should be impossible for non-anomalous persons to obtain.

SCP-XXXX appeared in containment in a formerly unassigned humanoid containment cell without notice on August 4, 2014 apparently of its own volition. Additionally, a new set of containment procedures was added for it that day, under the credentials of Dr. Ian Hughes. Dr. Hughes denies any involvement or knowledge of SCP-XXXX and was assigned to a site more than 500km from the site SCP-XXXX's file was added from, causing Foundation security protocols to lock the edit and triggering an investigation. The original file uploaded for SCP-XXXX can be found in File-XXXX-EX.

+ Interview XXXX-01

The following interview was performed on August 5, 2014 in an attempt to determine SCP-XXXX's reason for containment and how it entered Site-17 without alerting security.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Researcher Drew Grant

Foreword: SCP-XXXX has been restrained for this interview, and the interview was conducted over intercom with three armed guards present, as the subject's anomalous abilities were not yet determined.

<Begin Log, 09:14:33>

Grant: Good morning.

XXXX: Hello Drew.

Grant: You know my name?

XXXX: Drew Grant, born April 23, 19██ in ████████, Tennessee. Married to Michelle ██████████ on July 12, 19██. You have one child on the way now, yes?

Researcher Grant is silent for 1 minute and 22 seconds.

Grant: Right. I take it-

XXXX: No, I am not able to read your thoughts. Nor see your past. Nothing like that.

Grant: I… see. I have to inquire then, how do you know these things about me?

XXXX: You told me yourself. A long time ago, in fact. You just do not remember. No one does.

Grant: This is the first time we've met.

XXXX: From your perspective, yes. But not from mine.

Grant: Could you clarify?

XXXX: I suppose I can do without all the mystique. It has just been so long since I last did this. Let me see here…

SCP-XXXX is silent for 27 seconds.

XXXX: Have you seen the movie Groundhog Day?

Grant: Yes, I have.

XXXX: Good. That makes this a bit quicker. That is how I have been living. But not a single day, my whole life is on repeat. I turn fifty-five on January 13, 2051. However, I will not actually experience it. On the morning of what should be my fifty-fifth birthday, I will wake up on January 13, 2001 again in my five-year-old body, remembering everything from my previous trip. This here is my.. SCP-XXXX pauses for a moment, apparently lost in thought. My hundred and twelfth time going through life.³

Grant: You've certainly shown more knowledge than you should be able to have. But such a claim will require extraordinary evidence, and I've seen nothing that would indicate-

XXXX: That is how I knew your life. You told me. We got along fairly well once, when I used to be a researcher here. I admittedly only joined the Foundation to try and understand what was causing me to regress, to put an end to it, and I didn't find much on my own. So now, in these past couple lives, I have been coming here as a research subject instead, and hoping you all might think of possibilities that I never did.

But if you want more proof, then you should know that in thirteen days [REDACTED] will breach containment. There is nothing I have found that can be done to prevent this breach, but if you keep at least five security personnel outside its chamber that day, you can recontain it without losing anyone. And get some amnestics ready for any agents without clearance to view it.

Grant: I think I can arrange that. But that still only implies some level of precognition, which isn't anything new by our standards.

XXXX: Have any expert in memetics, or thaumaturgy, or reality-bending, or any kind of researcher you want come in and observe me. They never find any evidence of abnormality, just a normal woman. If every single test you perform says that I can't know the future, how will you rectify that with the fact that I clearly do?

Grant: I'll see if any of my colleagues would like to volunteer to look you over, though I can't say that will be a priority. More importantly, how did you get into a Foundation site without anyone noticing you?

XXXX: Again, I just remembered. I remembered that yesterday SCP-████ broke containment and that security on the east exit was gone between 18:12 and 18:43. So I made sure to show up during that time. I opened the doors using Ian's credentials, but you already knew that. I remember those, as I am sure you will ask, because in a past life he gave them to me as I turned 54, so that I could continue to try and find a way to stop my cycling. I am sure his passcode has been changed by now, so no more threat of containment breach.

Grant: I see. I believe that's all we need then, thank you. Security will escort you back to your containment cell.

XXXX: Wait, one more thing before you leave.

Grant: Yes?

XXXX: Assuming the information I provide you helps in containment, I make no attempts to breach containment myself or to harm staff, and I maintain a positive and nonthreatening demeanor, may I be permitted general level clearance in order to help researchers figure out more about… me?

Grant: That would be highly irregular, I'm afraid I can't promise that.

XXXX: I understand. Thank you.

<End Log, 09:21:46>

Closing Statement: On August 18th at 14:53:03 SCP-███ escaped containment. Per Researcher Grant's request, five armed guards were stationed outside its containment chamber. There were no casualties.

Addendum: Following the events of 08/18/20██, and following several expert examinations indicating no form of anomaly in SCP-XXXX, it has been allowed limited access of Site-017. It has been additionally given clearance to edit its own file, as when denied such credentials it accessed its own file using the credentials of at least seven other researchers.⁴ SCP-XXXX is to be given access only to make additions to its file, and may not delete any information added either by itself or by research staff. Any additions made by SCP-XXXX are to be reviewed by a researcher with XXXX/4 clearance before being uploaded to the main server.

These privileges are to be immediately revoked if SCP-XXXX attempts to access any other SCP, either physically or in documentation, or if it becomes aggressive or refuses to follow direction of site security or researchers.

+ XXXX Research Logs

These logs are written by Dr. Sar SCP-XXXX unless otherwise noted. I will start by detailing my findings from previous recursions. Due to the nature of my past, I am not sure how to categorize my findings by date, so I am going to just make a list. The head researcher can modify my formatting if they are unhappy with this.

• Premature death does not end my cycling. This is true whether the death is natural,⁵ self-inflicted, murder, or caused by an anomaly. If I die, I immediately wake up on my 5th birthday. As death itself is far from pleasant, I stopped attempting this route about seventy cycles ago.
• A few cycles ago, a researcher came to the conclusion that my consciousness was relocating, so to speak, to another universe every time I cycled. They theorized that each time I reached 55, my body simply became lifeless from everyone else's point of view and I just found myself in an identical (though 50-years-past) dimension. To test this, I was made to fall asleep before the night of my 55th birthday surrounded by a network of Scranton Reality Anchors, in an attempt to hold my consciousness here. As this did not work, I can only assume that this is not the cause of my cycling.
• As I neared my 55th birthday on a couple cycles, I tried to find information about my future from several precognitive SCPs. They either remained silent, reacted with incredulity, or laughed. None were able to give me any insight into my condition.
• I attempted to make deals with, or even just expose myself to, several anomalies known for trafficking in human lives or souls. Each either refused to deal with me, or killed me only for the cycle to continue.
• I made many attempts to live a "perfect life" in order to appease some sort of diety, or just live the life I thought I was supposed to to break this curse, but nothing changed.
• I also tried to recreate my original life as close as possible, thinking that maybe if nothing changed then I could just continue as normal. This was also a failure.

Test 10.3, performed March 08, 2017

As per its request, SCP-XXXX was tested for any fluctuations in its Hume level. Its hume level remained stable at 0.97. The implications of this are unknown, however it is an unexpected outcome due to the subject's apparent ability to influence how things are "supposed to" proceed.

+ File-XXXX-EX

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is held in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-17. She is to be provided with any requested documentation regarding other SCPs, and provided with information about interdimensional or reality-bending SCPs without request. No further containment procedures are required.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a human woman, born January 13, 1996 to Mary and Joshua ██████ in ████████, Wisconsin. She is entirely nonviolent and cooperative with research staff.

SCP-XXXX lives until the night before her 55th birthday, at which time she will regress and find herself waking back up as her five-year-old self in the year 2001. Due to this effect, she has knowledge of the future up until January 13, 2051.

SCP-XXXX appears 18-years-old at time of containment, but is mentally age 5,618. How SCP-XXXX has retained her sanity despite this amount of time passing is unknown, and may be an attribute of her anomalous traits.

Addendum: Someone is heading over this way, so it looks like my time here is up! But that is just fine. I have an interview with Researcher Grant to get ready for, anyway.

+ RESTRICTED: LEVEL 5 CLEARANCE REQUIRED

On October 07, 2018 SCP-XXXX made an incorrect prediction about happenings on a global scale. This is the second time SCP-XXXX has been wrong, the first was on January 28, 2015. It claims that it only made one incorrect prediction in its previous life, and attributes these fluctuations to a sort of "butterfly-effect" that minor changes in its lives have caused. However, due to SCP-XXXX's testimony that these changes did not happen even in lives it lived with much greater variance, it is my professional opinion that there may be other individuals affected with SCP-XXXX's condition.

Further, while our subject seems to only be concerned with finding a way to end its cycles, due to the incorrectly predicted changes being on a global scale, it is safe to assume that these other individuals may be using their ability to drastically change the world's political landscape. I recommend an increased devotion into research regarding SCP-XXXX's condition, that we may use any findings to detect other individuals with this ability, and to try and find a way to limit its effect, if possible.
