SCP-3XXX in containment

Item #: SCP-3XXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-3XXX is to be stored in a standard safe-class object storage locker in Site-██. Staff wishing to perform tests with SCP-3XXX must submit a written proposal for approval by Dr. ███████.

Update: As of XX XXX 18: SCP-3XXX is to be stored in a high-security object storage locker at Site-██. Access to SCP-3XXX requires approval from at least two (2) level 3 personnel. Tests involving SCP-3XXX on class D personnel now require approval from Dr. █████, director of Site-██.

Description:
SCP-3XXX is a bracelet with a silver pendant and clasp made of three braided strips of leather. These strips are black, gray, and brown. Testing has shown that the materials that comprise SCP-3XXX are not anomalous. Destructive testing is currently pending authorization. The origin of its anomalous properties remains unknown.

When worn, SCP-3XXX will give the impression of ‘rewinding’ time by approximately 11 minutes upon the death of the wearer. The wearer will retain any memories gained during the ‘rewound’ time. It is unknown whether SCP-3XXX affects the passage of time, or if it merely gives the appearance of doing so to the wearer. SCP-3XXX will not 'rewind' to a time before the wearer was wearing the object, instead returning to the moment the wearer put on the bracelet. All outside observers do not retain any memories from this ‘rewound’ time.

Test 3XXX-001
Date: 16 JUL 18
Researcher(/s): Dr. ███████
Subject(/s): D-8826, D-8835
Procedure: D-8826 instructed to wear SCP-3XXX, and told that the test will be over once they learn and repeat the “secret passphrase”. If D-8826 does not correctly identify the passphrase after 12 minuets D-8835 will say the passphrase and then terminate D-8826.
Result: One (1) minute into the test D-8826 displayed signs of confusion and distress and spoke the correct passphrase. D-8835 had not shared the passphrase with D-8826. D-8826 later described a “horrible waking nightmare” in which D-8826 was killed with a handgun.
Notes: This has a lot of interesting potential. -Dr. ███████

Test 3XXX-002
Date: 17 JUL 18
Researcher(/s): Dr. ███████
Subject(/s): D-8827, D-8828, D-8829
Procedure: Subjects placed in a locked testing chamber. D-8827 instructed to wear SCP-3XXX. D-8828 and D-8829 each outfitted with a standard-issue security handgun and a combat knife, and instructed to kill D-8827 after 5 minutes have elapsed.
Result: D-8827 evades all shots fired by D-8828 and D-8829, incapacitates D-8829 by impacting D-8829’s head with the chamber wall, takes D-8829’s combat knife, and uses it to terminate D-8828 and D-8829. D-8827 was unscathed. Upon termination of D-8828 and D-8829, D-8827 enters a fetal position and shows signs of extreme trauma. D-8827 removes SCP-3XXX and self terminates before security personnel can intervene.
Notes: Because of the nature SCP-3XXX, standard kill collars will not be effective in containing a subject in possession of SCP-3XXX. Testing on D class personnel is postponed until an effective countermeasure is prototyped. Update [23 JUL 18]: A suitable collar has been developed by Dr. ███████. This collar kills via heroin overdose, giving time for security personnel to remove SCP-3XXX while the subject is unconscious or otherwise suffering from fatal heroin overdose symptoms. As of 23 JUL 18 testing of SCP-3XXX on D class personnel, not currently addicted to or recovering from addiction to opioids, is authorized.

Test 3XXX-003
Date: 19 JUL 18
Researcher(/s): Dr. ███████, Junior Researcher ██████
Subject(/s): Junior Researcher ██████
Procedure: Subject equipped with a standard security-issue handgun and SCP-3XXX. After five (5) minutes have elapsed subject self terminates.
Result: Subject appears nervous for twenty two (22) seconds, then startles and makes a sound of distress. Subject reports no memory of self-termination. Subject has recounted loading the handgun, placing it to the temple, and slowly squeezing the trigger. Subject reports entering a dream like state in which the subject could see itself dead from fatal gunshot wound, consistent with the procedure described above. Subject reports waking from this dream like state and taking finger off the trigger without having discharged the handgun.
Notes: Junior Researcher ██████ reports habitual nightmares after test 3XXX-003. These nightmares interrupt the subject's sleep cycle and have a profound negative impact on all tasks preformed by Junior Researcher ██████. See Interview log 3XXX-001 for further details.

Test 3XXX-004
Date: 25 JUL 18
Researcher(/s): Dr. ███████
Subject(/s): D-8894, D-8903
Procedure: D-8894 is placed in handcuffs and leg restraints that are tethered to the wall of the testing facility. D-8903 is given a standard security-issue handgun and one (1) round of 9mm ammunition. D-8903 is instructed to terminate D-8894 after twelve (12) minutes have elapsed.
Result: At one (1) minute D-8894 suddenly goes into a rage, pulling against the restraints and screaming incoherently. D-8894 breaks the right handcuff and removes SCP-3XXX. Dr. ███████ orders D-8903 to stand down. Security personnel attempt to sedate and restrain D-8894. D-8894 howls in agony and uses the blunt edge of the handcuffs to self-terminate before security personnel can intervene.
Notes: Upon further inspection of the handcuffs used in test 3XXX-004 a manufacturing flaw was discovered. It is unclear if SCP-3XXX created this flaw. It is unknown what caused D-8894 to enter a rage state and how many times D-8894 perceived dying before self-terminating.

Test 3XXX-005
Date: 26 JUL 18
Researcher(/s): Dr. ███████, Dr. █████
Subject(/s): D-8906, Security Officer ████████,████
Procedure: D-8906 is fully restrained in a prone position. All restraints have been inspected. D-8906 is instructed to report the number of times it has died and 'rewound' through time by speaking aloud the number of times killed by Officer ████████. Officer ████████ will terminate D-8906 twelve ( 12) minutes into the test unless D-8906 says a number greater than ten (10).
Result: One minute into the test D-8906 cries out "Ten! Ten! Please make it stop." Officer ████████ stood down without having discharged his sidearm.
Notes: See interview log 3XXX-003 for further details.

Interview Log 3XXX-001
Interviewed: Junior Researcher ██████, █████

Interviewer: Dr. ███████

Foreword: Standard post-testing interview following test 3XXX-003

<Begin Log>

Dr. ███████: Good afternoon █████. Please describe your experience in test 3XXX-003, starting from the beginning.

Junior Researcher ██████: Very well, I’m sure you have read the report that I submitted [Test log 3XXX-003]. What the report doesn’t capture is the surreal feeling that the test left me with. The whole situation feels like a bad dream that I remember all too well. I remember putting the gun to my head, the icy fear that flowed in my veins, the doubt that I would make it through to the other side. I remember the decision, which I made with no overwhelming since of conviction and a large amount of trepidation, to go through with the test. I remember slowly pulling the trigger, the feeling of taking up the slack in the trigger, moving my finger micrometers at a time closer to setting the thing off. Then, suddenly, a flash that foists me into a sudden and total darkness. The only thing I could see was myself. But not me. I saw the version of me that shot myself. There I was, slouched over, on the table. I can still see the way my blood was flowing out of the holes in my head. I could see the blasted grey matter, turned into a bloody pulp inside my own cranium, slowly leaking out. It was fairly disturbing. Suddenly, I felt myself going backwards, at least that the best way I could describe it. I don’t mean moving through space. I had the sensation of time going backwards, and quickly. Before it had begun I was back in the basement of site-██. It was disorientating to say the least.

Dr. ███████: Is that all you remember from being in this ‘darkness’?

Junior Researcher ██████: I still feel uneasy about that darkness. It was blacker than black, not just the absence of light, it seemed to be some sort of void soaking up even the concept of illumination. I have a hard time not thinking about it. It seems to collect at the edge of my conscious thoughts, eating at my head. I don’t know, maybe it’s just the trauma from seeing my dead self.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: Junior Researcher ██████ was forwarded to a battery of psychiatric and other medical tests. After Class C amnestics failed to improve Junior Researcher ██████'s mental state, Junior Researcher ██████ was subject to further detainment and testing. These tests revealed cognitive damage consistent with short exposure to a Class III cognitohazardous entity.
