Item #: SCP-5XXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5XXX is to be held in a Standard Humanoid Containment Module at Site-88. There are to be no fewer than 2 (two) Level 1 security personnel posted at the entrance to SCP-5XXX’s Containment Module at all times. Specimen is to wear a pair of manacles, and a mask covering the entirety of its face at all times. Personnel found removing either specimen's manacles or mask are to be reassigned as D-Class personnel. SCP-5XXX shows high intelligence, and displays signs of narcissistic personality disorder, as well as psychopathy. Subject has shown no need to eat, drink, sleep, or bathe.

Description: SCP-5XXX appears to be a caucasian male of about 35 (thirty-five). It is 183 cm tall, and has no measurable weight. Specimen has no eyes, but retains vision, even when its eye sockets are covered. SCP-5XXX also lacks teeth. Specimen's eye sockets and mouth are black, and have no visible end, with specks of light dotting the empty space. Computer simulations indicate these lights are an accurate model of the stars visible in the night sky, 200 (two-hundred) years from the date of the specimen's arrival at Site-88. The meaning of this is currently unknown, though Dr. Mathis theorizes it may be the position of the stars at a significant moment in the future. Staring into SCP-5XXX's eyes or mouth causes living organisms to be erased from existence, including from the memories of anyone who interacted with them. This made understanding SCP-5XXX's anomalous properties difficult, as anyone witnessing the erasure of subjects forgets the subject existed moments later. Any records of the subject, including birth and arrest records, whether digital or hardcopy, also disappear. SCP-5XXX seems to remember the subjects that are erased from existence. See Experimentation Logs.

SCP-5XXX arrived at Site-88 on 03/22/2010, and did not resist containment attempts. Specimen claimed to be a time traveler, who had traveled back and killed his own grandfather. Following interviews, it is believed that SCP-5XXX is indeed from the future, or possibly an alternate timeline. As a result, top priority is preventing SCP-5XXX from interacting with the outside world, as doing such could result in corruption of the current time stream. How SCP-5XXX continues to thrive, despite the paradoxical nature of its existence, is unknown. Upon arriving at Site-88, specimen did not inform responding personnel of its anomalous properties. Specimen reports that this resulted in the loss of 13 (thirteen) personnel, though this is impossible to confirm. See Incident Report 5XXX-01.

Research shows that engaging SCP-5XXX in conversation for a minimum of 2 (two) hours leads to a lessening in the effect of a subject's erasure on those observing. This ranges from being able to remember vague characteristics of subjects, to being able to recall vivid details of subjects and their lives. The length of time spent conversing with the specimen is correlated to the ability of researchers to remember details about erased subjects. Dr. Wilson, the former lead researcher on SCP-5XXX, discovered this effect after spending prolonged time interviewing the specimen. Time spent with the specimen is limited to a maximum of 3 (three) hours each week, following Incident 5XXX-05. See Incident Report 5XXX-05 for clarification.

Test 5XXX-01 - 04/03/2010

Subject: SCP-5XXX

Procedure: D-Class subject is placed in SCP-5XXX's Containment Module, and told to remove the specimen's mask. Subject is to look into the specimen's eyes. Dr. Wilson, Dr. Summers, and Dr. Mathis will observe from the observation room adjacent to SCP-5XXX's module, through a one-way bulletproof viewing window. Two security personnel are to stand by with stun rods, capable of delivering 50,000 volts. All research personnel spent at least two hours conversing with SCP-5XXX, prior to test date. This is the D-Class subject's first encounter with SCP-5XXX.

Results: Subject entered SCP-5XXX's containment module, and removed SCP-5XXX's mask. Subject expressed distress upon seeing SCP-5XXX's eye sockets and mouth. Subject requested to be let out of the module, and rushed the door. Subject was told to describe the cause of his distress. Subject did not reply, and continued to attack the door. During this time, subject became increasingly translucent, before disappearing entirely. The process took 7.03 seconds. Specimen looked at research window, and grinned. Security personnel entered the chamber and replaced the specimen's mask. Specimen was silent throughout experiment.

Analysis: Immediately following the experiment, the research staff present were unable to recall the majority of what transpired. over the course of seven hours of discussion, they were able to piece together the information above. The number of the D-Class subject used is unknown, and impossible to determine. Dr. Wilson, the researcher who spent the most time conversing with the specimen, was able to remember the most of the three.

Note: This is the first successful documentation of experiments concerning SCP-5XXX. Due to the anomalous nature of SCP-5XXX, it is entirely possible that multiple other experiments have occurred, but were forgotten. Dr. Wilson remembers there being at least one experiment prior to this one, which resulted in his theory on how to combat the loss of memory.

Test 5XXX-03 - 05/22/2010

Subject: SCP-5XXX

Procedure: D-Class subject, D-7782, is placed in observation room, separated from SCP-5XXX's module by a one-way bulletproof viewing window. A video camera is placed in SCP-5XXX's Containment Module, and trained on SCP-5XXX's face. The camera will send a live feed to a monitor in the observation room. Two security personnel equipped with stun rods capable of delivering 50,000 volts will remove SCP-5XXX's mask, and leave the room. Subject is to look into the specimen's eyes or mouth on the monitor until told otherwise. Dr. Wilson, Dr. Summers, and Dr. Mathis will observe from within the observation room. All research personnel spent at least two hours conversing with SCP-5XXX, prior to test date. This is D-7782's first encounter with SCP-5XXX.

Results: Subject looked into SCP-5XXX's eyes as displayed on the monitor. After 5 seconds, subject expressed distress, and began clutching at its body. Dr. Mathis asked subject to describe the cause of his distress. Subject stood from his chair rapidly, lost his balance, and fell. Dr. Wilson caught subject, who proceeded to convulse. Dr. Wilson asked subject to describe the nature of his distress. Subject stated "It's all empty". Dr. Wilson reported seeing his hands through subject's head, before subject disappeared entirely. Process took 7.03 seconds.

Analysis: The effects of SCP-5XXX are applicable through images on screens. As a result, photographs and footage of SCP-5XXX are forbidden. Web Crawler Delta 7 has been designed to scan the internet for any digital media resembling SCP-5XXX, and delete it. So far none have been found.

+ Incident Reports

Incident Report 5XXX-01: On 22/03/2010, SCP-5XXX appeared out front of Site-88. Upon approaching the front entrance, SCP-5XXX demanded to be let inside, expressing impatience and annoyance. Security personnel escorted SCP-5XXX to inside. Dr. Wilson was among the personnel present, and was told by SCP-5XXX not to look into its eyes or mouth. It is unknown why the specimen did so. Dr. Wilson complied with the warning, and instructed others to do so. SCP-5XXX's face was covered, its hands restrained, and it was placed in a holding cell without further incident.

Incident Report 5XXX-05: On 02/10/2011, Dr. Wilson broke protocol and attempted to liberate SCP-5XXX from Foundation control. The following is a transcript of the events as they transpired.
05:30: Dr. Wilson enters Site-88 after having gone home for the night. Tells security at entrance that he forgot something in his office.
05:46: Dr. Wilson arrives at SCP-5XXX's module. He instructs the two security personnel to take a break, claiming he would keep watch. The guards agree, and leave, violating protocol.
05:52: Dr. Wilson enters SCP-5XXX's module. Dr. Wilson engages in conversation with SCP-5XXX, telling the specimen that "the time has come". SCP-5XXX nods his head.
06:00: Dr. Wilson exits SCP-5XXX's module, leading SCP-5XXX by vocal commands. SCP-5XXX's mask and handcuffs are still on.
06:07: Dr. Wilson encounters the security personnel he dismissed. The personnel inquire as to Dr. Wilson's intent with SCP-5XXX. Dr. Wilson claims he intends to run a few tests on SCP-5XXX. The guards point out that no tests are scheduled, and that removing SCP-5XXX from its containment without proper security present violates protocol. The three begin to argue.
06:11: One of the security personnel goes to remove SCP-5XXX from Dr. Wilson's custody. Dr. Wilson produces a hereto unseen pistol, and shoots the guard in the head. The second guard shoots at Dr. Wilson. Dr. Wilson is struck in the shoulder, and fatally shoots the guard. He begins to run, guiding SCP-5XXX.
06:13: The gunshots alert other security personnel, who raise the alarm. The facility goes to Condition Red, and the sector is locked down.
06:18: Dr. Wilson reaches a stairwell, and finds the door locked, as per Condition Red protocol.
06:23: Security personnel corner Dr. Wilson and command him to drop his weapon. Dr. Wilson removes SCP-5XXX's mask, and the security personnel cover their eyes. Dr. Wilson fires wildly into the security outfit. Security blindly fire down the hall, killing Dr. Wilson and striking SCP-5XXX.
06:25: Security personnel approach SCP-5XXX without raising their eyes. SCP-5XXX does not move. Security personnel replace SCP-5XXX's mask.
06:38: SCP-5XXX is returned to its cell.
06:39: Condition Red is canceled.

Note: It is theorized that Dr. Wilson was somehow compromised by SCP-5XXX's rhetoric after constant prolonged contact with the specimen. As a result, Containment Procedures have been updated. -Dr. Mathis

Interview Log 5XXX-01

Interviewed: SCP-5XXX

Interviewers: Dr. Wilson, Dr. Summers, and Dr. Mathis.

Foreword: This is the first official interview with SCP-5XXX, conducted a day after its containment. Subject is handcuffed to the interview table and has its face covered with a mask.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Wilson: Would you please state the reason for your coming here.

SCP-5XXX: That sounded less like a question, more like a command. It was phrased like a question, but it sounded like a command. Besides, we already went over that.

Dr. Summers: It's for the record. Just answer the question.

SCP-5XXX: Oh, so it was a question. I was confused. Thank you for clarifying Dr….?

Dr. Summers: Summers. We've been over this.

SCP-5XXX: I just want to clarify. You know, for the record.

Dr. Wilson: The reason for your coming here.

SCP-5XXX: Of course. The reason was disappointment. I was disappointed that nothing dramatic happened. Aside from my little…anatomical adjustment. *Subject gestures to face*

Dr. Mathis: What do you mean disappointed? What is it you were disappointed over?

SCP-5XXX: *Sigh* I do so hate having to repeat myself. I was expecting the execution of a paradox to cause some huge bang or explosion. Instead, all that happened was my eyes and mouth turned into the night sky, my teeth fell out, and I don't need to eat, sleep, piss or shit.

Dr. Wilson: What paradox?

SCP-5XXX: The Grandfather Paradox. You know, go back in time, kill your grandfather, what happens to you? That one.

Dr. Mathis: Is that what you did? You went back in time and killed your grandfather?

SCP-5XXX: Yep. Shot him in his sleep. Figured I'd make it easy.

5.3 seconds of silence

SCP-5XXX: What? Why are you looking at each other like that?

Dr. Summers: Well, you can see how we would find that claim hard to believe.

SCP-5XXX: …What? You don't believe me?

Dr. Wilson: Well, you also claim to have been a D-Class at the Foundation in the future, correct?

SCP-5XXX: Yes.

Dr. Wilson: Well, the question naturally arises, how would a D-Class subject come into possession of a time machine?

SCP-5XXX: I was assigned to SCP-████. I was on cleanup crew whenever the machine would kick out whatever was left of the person sent through. Of course some would return safe and sound. Those guys were able to tell me a bit about what the lab coats would do to prep the machine. After a year or so, I figured I could operate it on my own. Next cleanup, I did my thing and hoped for the best. Figured I had a fifty fifty shot of making it in one piece. Low and behold, I show up in 2010. I killed my grandpa, and hoped for some big bang, or shredding of the universe. But noooo, all I get is this shit done to me.

Dr. Wilson: If all of that is true, it still leaves the question of why.

SCP-5XXX: What do you mean?

Dr. Wilson: I mean why would you do all of that, if you knew you ran the risk of…shredding the universe?

SCP-5XXX: Why? Because fuck you, that's why! Fuck your Foundation, fuck your throwing us at the darkness to see which monsters will shred us this time! Fuck all of you! Seemed like the best way to make that point.

3 seconds of silence

Dr. Summers: While I can believe that any D-Class would certainly agree with that sentiment, that doesn't necessarily prove your claim.

SCP-5XXX: …Ok. You want proof? I'll give you proof. What's the date?

Dr. Mathis: March 23rd.

SCP-5XXX: 4 seconds of silence Three weeks. France. Pierce Adams.

Dr. Mathis: Can you elaborate?

SCP-5XXX: Just wait.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: Three weeks later, on April 12th, Pierce Adams, an American traveling through France was found dead in an alleyway. The death came to the Foundation's attention when papers reported that a "small infant was found in Mr. Adams' stomach". DNA testing confirmed that the infant was genetically identical to Mr. Adams, save for a genetic defect that would have resulted in the infant developing strength far superior than that of the average human. Mr. Adams was designated SCP-████ and the infant SCP-████-1. Upon containment, infant was found to have weak but measurable vital signs. See SCP-████'s file for more information.

Interview 5XXX-09

Interviewed: SCP-5XXX

Interviewer: Dr. Wilson

Foreword: Dr. Wilson was the only researcher conducting the interview. Doctors Mathis and Summers observed from behind a one way glass partition.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Wilson: Tell me more about the time you come from.

SCP-5XXX: Couldn't tell you much. I spent the last 17 years behind bars.

Dr. Wilson: Why were you incarcerated?

SCP-5XXX: That hardly seems relevant.

Dr. Wilson: It will help us understand you better.

SCP-5XXX: Hah. Dr. Wilson, I hardly think that you people are going to be able to ever understand me. But fine. If you must know, I killed my girlfriend and her family. Parents, younger brother, dog, everything.

Dr. Wilson: Why?

SCP-5XXX: Because they convinced her to leave me. They thought I was bad for her, and she believed them! I was going to marry her. She would have said yes too. But instead they filled her head with the idea that I was some kind of monster. In doing so, they made me that monster. Can't you understand that? In some, twisted way?

Dr. Wilson: I…suppose I can. But murder is never justifiable.

SCP-5XXX: No. It isn't. I couldn't agree more doctor.

Dr. Wilson: What about the Foundation in your time? What can you tell me about them?

SCP-5XXX: Assholes. Fucking twisted assholes. All I can say is they are still doing the good work you all so pride yourselves on. Felt like being back there walking up to this place. Except, y'know, without all the tech. You guys really have a long way to go.

Dr. Wilson: Where were you held?

SCP-5XXX: Area-113.

Dr. Wilson: No such area exists.

SCP-5XXX: Well it will. Eventually.

Dr. Wilson: When?

SCP-5XXX: I don't know! They didn't exactly give us a tour of the fucking place!

Dr. Wilson: Ok, I'm sorry. Area-113. I'll remember that. I think it's time we stopped for now.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: It is to be noted, looking back on this interview after Incident 5XXX-05, that this is the first time that Dr. Mathis expressed sympathy for SCP-5XXX. This is the first indicator of his manipulation.

Interview 5XXX-22

Interviewed: SCP-5XXX

Interviewer: Dr. Wilson

Foreword: Dr. Wilson is the only research personnel present during the interview. The interview was conducted at 23:11.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Wilson: Tell me more about the future.

SCP-5XXX: Thats's pretty broad.

Dr. Wilson: Yes it is. I want to know the first thing that comes into your head when I ask that question.

SCP-5XXX: Doesn't telling me that kind of negate the effect you're going for?

Dr. Wilson:…Shit.

SCP-5XXX: It's ok. You're tired. Look, I'll tell you this: the highest number I heard a lab-coat refer to was SCP-17245.

Dr. Wilson: Shit.

SCP-5XXX: Yeah. I had a buddy that was assigned to it once. Dude went in shaking like a leaf, came back laughing hysterically. He could barely get a word out *laughs*

Dr. Wilson: *laughs* Really?

SCP-5XXX: Yeah, I kid you not, he was red in the face and slapping his knees. Even got me laughing. *laughs*

Dr. Wilson: *laughs* That's great! What was it?

SCP-5XXX: I don't know!

Dr. Wilson: What?

SCP-5XXX: I don't know. He didn't stop laughing. For hours, he didn't stop. He couldn't. After 8 hours, he was just a twitching mess on the floor. Snot dribbling from his nose, blood and spit from his mouth. He asphyxiated. At least that's what I think. No one told me what happened. So no, I don't know what 17245 is. I don't know what it does. All I know is that we lost 5 more guys to that thing before the fuckers were satisfied.

Dr. Wilson: …Jesus. I'm sorry.

SCP-5XXX: Are you though? You do the same thing. You send nameless people to die in nameless places. You've even sent people to die in my chamber. Did you even know their names?!

7 seconds of silence pass

SCP-5XXX: Did you?!

Dr. Wilson: No.

SCP-5XXX: No. That's what I thought. And yet you told me that murder in any way is unjustifiable. Such hypocrisy.

Dr. Wilson: It's for the greater good.

SCP-5XXX: Bullshit. You know what the right thing to do is. You're just too chicken shit to do it.

10 seconds of silence

<End Log>

Closing Statement: This interview occurred three days before Incident 5XXX-05.
