Shadow On The Sun

Item #: SCP-5905

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5905-1 IS NOT TO BE REMOVED FROM CONTAINMENT FOR ANY PURPOSE. SCP 5905-1 is to be kept in ██████████ in a ████████ ████. Anyone attempting to remove SCP 5905-1 from containment and/or activate it is to be killed on sight. If SCP-5905-1 is activated, all available Mobile Task Forces are to be deployed in search of SCP-5905-1's new location. Mobile Task Forces are to avoid looking at SCP-5905-3 or coming into contact with SCP-5905-5. After SCP-5905-1 is deactivated, all instances of SCP-5905-4 and any other individuals which came into contact with any instance(s) of SCP-5905-4 are to be issued amnestics.

Description: SCP 5905 consists of six components: a stone slab(SCP 5905-1), a collection of seemingly ordinary dust(SCP 5905-2), a shadow which appears on the surface of Earth's sun(SCP 5905-3), any individuals which see SCP-5905-3(SCP-5905-4) or come into contact with SCP-5905-5, a black gas resembling thick smoke(SCP-5905-5) and several beams of bright light from the sky(SCP-5905-6).

SCP-5905-1 is a basalt slab with a slanted face. It is 31 cm(1') in height, 20 cm(8") in length and 11 cm(4") in width. It's jet black with the exception of it's face, which has a crude depiction of the sun composed of powdered granite adhered to it by unknown means.

If a creature makes skin-to-stone contact with SCP-5905-1 and says "██ █████ █ ██████ ██ ███ ████", SCP 5905-1 will crumble and SCP-5905-2 will appear in it's place; SCP 5905-1 will appear in a random location in the hemisphere wherein it was activated. At 1:00 AM(based upon SCP-5905-1's location) on the following morning SCP-5905-3 will be visible on the surface of the sun. No physical object appears to cast SCP-5905-3. No description of SCP-5905-3's exact appearance has been recorded.

SCP-5905-1 can be deactivated (and thus the following events can be prevented) by making skin-to-stone contact with SCP-5905-1 and saying "There is no shadow on the sun.".

On the first day after SCP-5905-1's activation, all instances of SCP-5905-4 will feel compelled go about their daily lives while avoiding doing any particularly strenuous tasks. Additionally, they will feel compelled(though reportedly less so) to say "There is a shadow on the sun." to anyone they meet. They will grow frustrated if someone denies this statement.

On the second day after SCP-5905-1's activation, all instances of SCP-5905-4, in addition to the previously mentioned effects, will occasionally feel compelled to look up at the sun for a few seconds. In addition to this, they will often react violently to anyone denying the statement "There is a shadow on the sun.".

On the third day after SCP-5905-1's activation, all instances of SCP-5905-4 will slowly wander around their area of residence, repeating the sentence "There is a shadow on the sun." at middling volume. If an instance of SCP-5905-4 sees a sentient creature that is not an instance of SCP-5905-4, it will point at it and scream before running towards it. All nearby instances of SCP-5905-4 will also run towards the creature. All capable instances of SCP-5905-4 will then beat the creature to death, returning to their usual actions afterwards. Instances of SCP-5905-4 seem to be able to discern whether or not a creature is an instance of SCP-5905-4 on sight, regardless of the creature's appearance or mannerisms.

On the fourth day after SCP-5905-1's activation, the sky will turn black and the sun will grow dim. In addition to the effects of the previous day, all instances of SCP-5905-4 will weep and occasionally say "Why is there a shadow on the sun?".

On the fifth day after SCP-5905-1's activation, all instances of SCP-5905-4 will fall unconscious and begin discharging SCP-5905-5 in great volume. In a few random locations, instances of SCP-5905-6 can be found. SCP-5905-6's brightness is estimated to be at 150,000+ Lux. The ground in a radius of about 1.5 meters(5') of an instance of SCP-5905-6 will be cracked and appear distorted, as well as chunks of the ground floating anywhere between 10 cm(3") to 1.2 meters(4') above the ground. Coming into physical contact with an instance of SCP-5905-6 or the ground which surrounds an instance of SCP-5905-6 will result in ███ ████ █████ █████████ ████ ███████ ██████ and █████ ███████████ ████ ███ ████████ ██████ ███████████ the instance of SCP-5905-6.

On the sixth day after SCP-5905-1's activation, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██, █████████ ██ ████ ██,█████████ ██ ████ ██.

On the seventh day after SCP-5905-1's activation, ██ ██ ███ ███.


Addendum: It is suspected that the text relating to the sixth and seventh days after an acitvation of SCP-5905-1 have been tampered with by an unrecorded and possibly unusual instance of SCP-5905-4. A request has been made that SCP-5905-1 be purposely activated in order to record the effects on the sixth and seventh days. This request is pending.
