Item #: SCP-████
Object Class: Thaumiel
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-████ is currently stationed at ████, ████████ in ████████████. A single guard is to be posted nearby at all times as a harbor to any imposing SK-Class Scenario by order of the 05-Council.
Description: SCP-████ is an old photo album 10x10x3 made from stone. The etching on the front and spine of the stone has craved "The Best Is Yet To Come". Small circular inset with a sharp needle-like stone shard is on the back. The book itself weighs approximately 30 tons when weighed on a scale but when handled by any person who has cognizance, SCP-████ becomes wield able. When opened, the first page depicts pictures of various events taken from seemingly impossible angles in outer space. The pictures themselves are made from ordinary glass and the pages within the album are made from a thinner material than what makes up the cover, although attempts to scratch or chip the glass are not currently possible due to the anomalous properties of SCP-████.
When a person spots SCP-████ for the first time, they immediately wish to read it. Persons cannot be stopped from opening SCP-████, and any and all personnel instructed to stop them become stunned. The current cause for this is reaction is unknown.
Upon opening SCP-████, the reader pricks their hand on the stone shard on the back of the album. Currently all readers who have opened SCP-████ immediately close the album, becoming flustered or crying and exclaiming that it is "Not time yet!" or "So was that all for nothing?". Interviews discussing what the person experienced while holding SCP-████ described going into an alternate reality and spending years training by this "ball of light", who is designated SCP-████-1. The training exercises consistently progress as follows: running through various space simulations using a giant robot, "tuning" to these spirit-like entities in the shape of animals while learning various specialized combat techniques, and undergoing meditation and theological discussions.
Such theological discussions are varied from person to person, but ultimately break down to purpose building and self-reflection. D-Class and other researchers with a history of psychological illness or illnesses, specifically depression, anxiety, or abulia, are seemingly cured after handling SCP-████ or, at least, less affected by their condition. Research is currently underway to try to recreate the method used by SCP-████-1 in psychology.
After completing this training, the reader then is met with a young boy or girl with features similar to the reader's hereby designated SCP-████-2. SCP-████-2 is usually the opposite sex of the reader and has an age of 8 to 12. SCP-████-1 tells the reader that SCP-████-2 is his/her offspring, and to treat them as such. A giant robot is then presented to the reader and SCP-████-1 gestures the reader forward into the robot. SCP-████-1 then instructs SCP-████-2 into the robot as well. When the reader enters the robot to turn it on, a message shows up, "PERIMETERS NOT MET, HUMANITY IS SAFE, IT IS NOT YET TIME". Immediately the reader is thrust back to reality.
Persons who have experienced SCP-████ after a period of 30 days have no memory of the SCP-████-1 and SCP-████-2 instance. Readers however still retain the knowledge they have learned and find themselves more religious, seeking avenues that fit their theological preferences.
SCP-████ was discovered inside the tabernacle at an old Eastern Orthodox church in ██████, Russia on █/█/201█. Upon interviewing the priest, he was told that the album found itself there after a prior priest had saved various people from rioters by hiding them in the church during the Bolshevik Revolution.
