Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5691 is to be contained in a modified humanoid containment unit. Modifications include a refrigerator, sink, stove oven combination (electric), along with a full set of standard utensils and preparation tools such as chef knives and tongs. Cooking ingredients, spices are also provided. SCP-5691 is to be allowed access to standard cooking ingredients and tools after approval by the research team. Any non-culinary-related request must be reviewed and approved by Head Researcher Dr. Denner after notifying the Site Lead.

Description: SCP-5691 is a caucasian human male with the anomalous ability to transfer their existence to alternate world lines, effectively allowing them to time travel with limited influence. The subject is 2.05 Meters in Height, approximately 67.8 Kilograms in weight. They have brown eyes, and grey hair with patches of black, and dark brown. They physically appear to be in their mid-forties despite the exceptional loss of pigmentation in their hair. The subject will, on a semi-regular occasion, usually once a month manifest a second instance of SCP-5691. For clarity, we shall henceforth refer to the original as SCP-5691-A and the one that Manifests as SCP-5691-B. They appear to materialize out of thin air, high-speed cameras do not see any transitionary period. According to explanations attained from SCP-5691-A, and SCP-5691-B they are traversing through multiversal time travel, jumping across World-lines. SCP-5691-B will claim to be from the past or the future. If left uninterrupted, they will question each other regarding their diet and lifestyle habits. After a brief discussion, SCP-5691-A or SCP-5691-B will allow themselves to be slaughtered by the other. SCP-5691 will then proceed to preserve and prepare the remains of the now-deceased instance for consumption. From here onward, the remaining subject will be reclassified to SCP-5691.

[BEGIN LOG]

J-Miller: Theta-28 has reached Rendevous, Subject is in sight, roll call.

J-Burrows: Burrows, Here.

G-Norman: Norman, Here.

H-Hargraves: Hargraves, Here.

// Camera shows a small countryside home with a greenhouse.//

J-Miller: Norman, Burrows, stay and observe. Hargraves, on watch, I’m moving forward.

// Team Lead Miller moves closer to the house and watches through the window. Inside SCP-5691 is sitting at a dining table and enjoying a large spread; the table is set up with five plates of salad. The Subject appears to be in the process of cooking.

H-Hargraves: I have the subject in my line of sight; you are clear for approach.

J-Miller: Norman, Burrows, I want you two to loop around back in case he tries to run, and by some horrible miracle, Hope misses.

J-Burrows: So you want us around back, so we don’t have to feel bad about being dead weight.

J-Miller: I’m glad you understand now move.

// After a few minutes, Miller moves to the front door and checks the lock. After finding the door unlocked, he heads inside. Upon entering the kitchen, SCP-5691 is pouring a glass of water into a second cup.

SCP-5691: Welcome, Mr.Miller; please sit and enjoy the salad; the rest of the meal will be ready soon. You prefer the cornbread muffins over the butternut squash soup, right.

J-Miller: Mr.Grant, you knew I was coming, and yet you chose to stay? I take it you’ve prepared seats at your table for me, and my team. Why didn’t you try to run?

SCP-5691: Why would I? I know you don’t mean me any harm and I know I couldn’t have escaped. Had I fled, you would have caught me on the run within a day. Besides, it's nice to have guests; also I have a couple of requests.

J-Miller: and those are?

SCP-5691: First that you and your team sit and have a meal with me. No strings attached.

J-Miller: and then what?

SCP-5691: and then I would like to be taken into containment.

SCP-5691 Interview

Interviewed: [SCP-5691]

Interviewer: [Dr. Denner]

Foreword: [Interview regarding SCP-5691 abilities]

<Begin Log>

Dr. Denner: This is Dr. Denner, beginning the interview of SCP-5691; the date is August 25th of 2016, Approximately 4:30 PM. Good Evening SCP-5691; for the record, would you please state your name and confirm you understand where you are and that you agree to be interviewed.

SCP-5691: Certainly, My name is Mr. Grant. Although if you don't mind, I’d rather keep my first name for friends only, though please, and I have no qualm with being interviewed. It makes me feel like I’m some form of celebrity.

Dr. Denner: Thank you, now SCP-5691. Would you please elaborate on your anomalous abilities?

SCP-5691: I don’t think it’s that strange or special. It just makes sense to me.

Dr. Denner: Nevertheless, please.

SCP-5691: Very well, I can move through the lines. I feel myself across the flow of time. My perception includes the timeward directions. So it’s no challenge to me to simply jump across the gap from one reality to the next. You all seem to think travel is so hard, but all of time and space are around you at all times.

Dr. Denner: So you are capable of perceiving world lines and moving through extra-dimensional space to arrive at different points in time?

SCP-5691: Yes, but I suppose it’s inaccurate to say arrive at a different point in time; it’s more I arrive in another universe that is identical to how ours was in the past. Its present is no less real than ours, but I suppose being it’s identical it might be easier to simply call it the past or an alternate past.

Dr. Denner: So what happens after you leave a worldline?

SCP-5691: I'm afraid I don't know. I can only see the other worldlines because I'm there, any world I'm not already in might as well be invisible.

Dr. Denner: And what about your unique diet? Does autocannibalism have something to do with your abilities?

SCP-5691: Oh no, I just find myself to be delicious, and besides, It’s far more moral than what you do.

Dr. Denner: What do you mean?

SCP-5691: When was the last time your meal consented.

Dr. Denner: Fair enough, now you volunteered yourself to be contained, but you can travel to alternate timelines. Could you elaborate on your reasoning?

SCP-5691: You can walk but can you take a step and land in Siberia. I can move to other timelines, but the closest ones aren’t that different, so I would have been caught no matter what, and if I wasn’t, then someone else would have found me and been far less kind.

Dr. Denner: Are you saying someone other than the foundation was after you?

SCP-5691: Oh yes, some ruffians would have found me and executed me or tried to use me as a weapon. They succeed in a few. So as far as I can see into the likely future of this world line, I’m safe and sound in the foundations loving embrace, and I know you lot are curious about what I am and what I can do, so if anything, you’ll be able to support my lifestyle. In a way, I just got a rent-free home and someone to do the shopping for me. I don’t really mind the isolation anyway. When you’ve lived as long as I have, it’s hard to maintain friendships.
Dr. Denner: and how long have you lived?

SCP-5691: I think that’s enough for now. Let's talk more later.

<End Log]>

Closing Statement: After Additional Interviews and Review, it has been determined that SCP-5691 cannot be truly contained but has agreed to stay in containment so long as its needs and requests are met.

Researchers Notes: if SCP-5691 really wanted to they could leap from world line to world line until they find a reality where the foundation is in a crisis allowing them to escape or to one where the foundation doesn’t exist. However, this route has just as many unforeseeable dangers as possibilities. It’s in SCP-5691's best interest to stay in containment for their own safety, and they have agreed to participate in several tests of their abilities. I suspect that the foundation could utilize SCP-5691’s abilities of World Line Perception for several applications, but my speculation will have to wait until we have completed testing.
