Item #: SCP-XXXX

+ First Iteration

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX is to be kept sideways in a bulletproof glass container under constant surveillance by no fewer than 10 guards. Under no circumstance is SCP-XXXX to occluded in such a way that it is possible to interact with it without being in direct visual contact with it.

Dr. Todd Hickman is the overseer of SCP-XXXX and is to be notified of any incidents regarding the object. Should an emergency arise where Dr. Hickman is unable to be contacted, the highest ranking foundation employee who has been in direct visual contact with SCP-XXXX is to take charge of SCP-XXXX's safety.

Description:
SCP-XXXX is a medium-sized hourglass containing roughly 1 hours worth of sand. When the sand begins to run out of the hourglass, subjects of SCP-XXXX within roughly 10 meters will begin feeling a a sense of impending danger and will be compelled to turn SCP-XXXX in such a way that the sand on both sides will even out. This compulsion is proportional to the amount of sand left in the hourglass and subjects have been reported mutilating themselves to turn SCP-XXXX when only 2 minutes are left. So far, this effect has only manifested in humans who have been in direct visual contact with SCP-XXXX.

Addendum 14/6/19:
Additional tests have shown a strong correlation between the amount of sand left until the hourglass runs out and the happening of destructive/anomalous evens such as: containment breaches, creation of anomalous objects/entities, etc. It is currently unknown what will happen should SCP-XXXX run out of sand.

"We already know enough about this SCP. Given its destructive effects, no more tests are to be carried out without proper rationale. Under no circumstance is SCP-XXXX allowed to run out of sand." - Dr. Hickman
