4D Vision

Item#: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

SCP-XXXX after containment.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be secured in a 30m x 30m open ceiling chamber at Site-█. Once every week, one D-class is to be sent into SCP-XXXX's containment chamber to wear SCP-XXXX so that its primary effect may manifest. Should its primary effect advance for whatever reason, guards are to terminate SCP-XXXX-1 to prevent the conclusion of SCP-XXXX's effect taking place. In the event that this fails and SCP-XXXX's primary effect reaches conclusion, guards must refrain from all contact with XXXX-1 to prevent undesirable temporal alterations. Mirrored surfaces are not to be allowed into SCP-XXXX's containment chamber at any time, and all personnel entering are subject to search. Should a Zeta-event occur, all personnel are to avoid SCP-XXXX's sphere of influence and any instances of SCP-XXXX-A to prevent undesirable temporal alterations. Testing utilizing D-class must be approved by Dr. Corik. Any and all testing involving Zeta-events must be approved by Dr. Corik, 2 additional Level-4 personnel, and at least two Overseers.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a pair of Ray-Ban brand glasses with lenses composed of an indeterminate material. These lenses possess a refractive index of -[DATA EXPUNGED], though to an unaided eye are visibly identical to normal crown glass lenses with a refractive index of 1.52. Currently circulating theories postulate the refractive index may be of significance regarding the source of SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties. SCP-XXXX is otherwise indistinguishable from physically alike pairs of glasses until its anomalous properties are made apparent.

SCP-XXXX's primary property manifests when worn by any human with sight. This effect is visible only to the user. Upon donning SCP-XXXX, the user is able to selectively view organisms or objects in any past state and any possible future states; E.g., an adult human may appear as they were at any point in their childhood, as they currently are, extremely/mildly aged, or deceased (see Addendum XXXX-01). This "4D vision" has not been observed to fail when used to view any mundane object/individual. Upon viewing oneself in the mirror while wearing SCP-XXXX, [REDACTED], inevitably resulting in death.

After wearing SCP-XXXX for approximately 14 minutes, the wearer (hereafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-1) will lose the ability to selectively view the temporal states of objects/organisms. Rather, they will be subject to all temporal states simultaneously. Once this has begun, SCP-XXXX may not be removed by any known means save termination of SCP-XXXX-1. Should XXXX-1 still be alive approximately twenty minutes after SCP-XXXX's primary effect manifests, XXXX-1 will begin to visibly experience all personal temporal states simultaneously. This includes memories, emotions, and physical experiences. This experience is always painful and invariably results in death. It is virtually impossible to kill SCP-XXXX-1 in this stage due to their state of multi-temporal existence. Approximately 30 minutes after SCP-XXXX's primary effect activates, SCP-XXXX-1 will die. Shortly after death, the remains [REDACTED], leaving no trace of XXXX-1's existence. SCP-XXXX will remain unaffected.

If SCP-XXXX is left unused for a period of time exceeding approximately 2 weeks, a Zeta-event will occur. When a Zeta-event occurs, everything in a 14-meter radius will begin to exhibit states of temporal regression/degradation. This is detrimental, if not fatal, to structures and organisms caught in this sphere of influence. Approximately 18 seconds after a Zeta-event begins, a number of creatures (labelled SCP-XXXX-A) will materialize through an as of yet undiscovered means. Instances of XXXX-A will begin to seek out a suitable individual (SCP-XXXX-A's requirements are outlined in Addendum XXXX-02) to wear SCP-XXXX. All unsuitable individuals are subject to attack by XXXX-A instances. Once targeted, instances will attempt to make physical contact, at which point individuals are subjected to temporal manipulation. Most commonly, the subject is disposed of in a way similar to SCP-XXXX's primary effect, but occasional cases of total regression and rare cases of repeated death/regression have also been documented.

When an instance of XXXX-A locates a suitable candidate, it will attempt to make physical contact which will place the candidate (hereafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-2) in temporal stasis, fully insulating them from any outside force, including the Zeta-event. Once an XXXX-A instance has seized XXXX-2, all remaining XXXX-A instances will carry the subject to SCP-XXXX's location. When all entities have returned to SCP-XXXX, a random instance of XXXX-A will force XXXX-2 to wear the glasses, at which point the subject, now XXXX-1, will fall out of temporal stasis, fully experiencing all of SCP-XXXX's primary effects instantly. XXXX-A instances will not dematerialize until the conclusion of SCP-XXXX's primary effect. The Zeta-event ends when this occurs. After approximately 10 minutes, XXXX-1 will die, and SCP-XXXX will become inert until the next Zeta-event if left unattended.

Recovery: SCP-XXXX was recovered from the ruins of a ████████████ outlet store in a mall located in ██████, Oregon when reports of a disturbance reached agents embedded in the area. Preliminary investigations by field agents warranted deployment of MTF Sigma-6 (Rift Rippers). Location was noted to be littered with deceased, extremely aged civilians, suggesting anomalous activity in the area. Further investigation corroborated this claim, as the ████████████ store was discovered to be in a state of temporal chaos. In the midst of the site, SCP-XXXX was found to be the only object not affected by the temporal shift. After audiovisual memetic Class-B amnesiacs were distributed from mobile network towers in the area and a disinformation campaign dismissing the event as a terrorist attack was successfully launched, SCP-XXXX was appropriated and brought into Foundation custody without incident, where its effects were not made apparent until the following Zeta-event.

XXXX-D4958-04TE Date: ████ 6th, 201█ Time: 1900

Introductory interview of D-4958 conducted by Dr. Corik. Subject has no prior knowledge of SCP-XXXX or its anomalous properties. Dr. Corik: Please take a seat, D-4958.

Scraping sounds are heard as the subject pulls out a chair.

D-4958: I told you before, Doc, my name is █████.

Dr. Corik: You will be addressed by your designated number, D-4958. Now if you could, please describe to me what you see on the table in front of you.

D-4958: They look like [EXPLETIVE] glasses. Was this all I was brought in here for?

Dr. Corik: Would you like to try them on, D-4958?

D-4958: No, I wanna go back to my room and eat.

Dr. Corik: You may return to your room after the interview is concluded, D-4958. Please put on the glasses.

D-4958: Do I look like I need glasses, Doc? Not happening.

Dr. Corik: No, you don't need them. Your test results from the Snellen chart returned 20/20. However, you will not leave this room until you put them on.

Now visibly irritated, subject snatches SCP-XXXX from the table and puts them on.

D-4958: How's that, Doc? Better? Can I go eat now?

Dr. Corik: Just one more question. Do you notice anything out of the ordinary now that you're wearing them?

D-4958: Uh… No, not really.

Doctor finishes writing notes on his clipboard.

Dr. Corik: Alright then. Thank you, D-4958, that will be all for today. Please place the glasses back on the table. The guard will escort you to the dining hall.

Interview concluded Notes: It appears that SCP-XXXX's selective viewing ability does not manifest without knowledge of the object's anomalous properties. Testing will resume tomorrow. -Dr. Corik Date: ████ 7th, 201█ Time: 1045

Today, the subject is informed of the object's anomalous properties. Selective viewing manifests. Dr. Corik: Good morning, D-4958.

D-4958: My name is █████, Doc. Use it.

Subject sees the same object on the table. He shows visible anger.

D-4958: I thought we were done with this.

Dr. Corik: No, not quite. Please take a seat.

Subject complies.

D-4958: I already told you what they were, why are we still on this?

Dr. Corik: I already stated we weren't finished. Please put on the glasses.

Subject reluctantly agrees.

D-4958: Okay, now what?

Dr. Corik: I want you to focus for a moment.

Doctor holds up an apple in front of the subject.

Dr. Corik: Please look at this apple and tell me what you see.

D-4958: You've got to be [EXPLETIVE] kidding me. It's a damn apple, what else could it be?

The doctor finishes taking notes.

Dr. Corik: Thank you, D-4958. Now, look at the apple again and listen carefully. These glasses allow you to see the past. Try to see it as it was exactly two weeks ago (Apple was not ripe and unpicked two weeks ago).

D-4958: Look, I told you, Doc, I—

Subject notices the apple after a quick glance.

D-4958: What kind of backwater parlor trick is this? I look away for 2 seconds and you swap it with a green one! What are you, a [EXPLETIVE] magician or some [EXPLETIVE]!?

Dr. Corik: D-4958, please refrain from using vulgar language. Everything you say is going on record, so stay civil. Now, look at the apple again and focus on what it will look like 12 weeks from now if I were to cut it in half. Please count as you do this.

Subject complies, and initially shows no response. After a period of 7 seconds, subject reports watching the apple be cut in half by an invisible force, followed by decomposition at a rate equaling 12 weeks. Subject reports process completion took approximately 18 seconds. Subject removes SCP-XXXX.

D-4958: Tell me, Doc… What the hell are these?

Dr. Corik: That is irrelevant, D-4958. Ask the guard to escort you back to your cell, we are done for today.

D-4958: No, I think I'll stay. What are they, Doc?

Dr. Corik: They are just a regular pair of fancy glasses, D-4958. They're nothing special. Now please ask the guard to return you to your cell.

D-4958: I'll leave when you tell me what they are.

Doctor activates alarm under the table. Guards enter room and take the subject away. Subject can be heard resisting.

Interview concluded Notes: I don't believe that there's any memetic effects associated with SCP-XXXX. D-4958's sudden thirst for knowledge regarding SCP-XXXX is misleading, as subject has a history of narcissistic personality disorder. Why subject didn't fall comatose is theorized to be due to his disorder not affecting his ability to logically process visual information. All three subjects in Incident Report had histories of visual hallucinations. Further testing will be conducted. -Dr. Corik Date: ████ 7th, 201█ Time: 2100

Testing selective viewing capabilities. Dr. Corik was off-duty at this time, leaving Jr. Researcher Gable to conduct the interview. JR Gable: Hello, D-4958.

D-4958: My name is █████, [EXPLETIVE]wad. What do you want?

JR Gable: My apologies… █████. We haven't been entirely forthright with you, you see. Do you remember these glasses you wore this morning?

Researcher places SCP-XXXX on the table. Subject shows signs of interest.

D-4958: How could I forget them?

JR Gable: These are very special glasses, as you already know. Your doctor has permitted me to allow you to take them for a test run.

D-4958: I don't think so. That [EXPLETIVE] was WAY too trippy for me. Find someone else.

D-4958 attempts to leave the room.

JR Gable: Your freedom depends on it, █████. If you remember your orientation, full cooperation results in your freedom.

D-4958: That's bull[EXPLETIVE] and you know it.

JR Gable: Quite the contrary, D-4958. Your record has already been wiped. All that's left is for us to release you at the end of the month. Follow our instructions and you may see the outside world again.

Subject seems conflicted, but eventually takes SCP-XXXX and wears them.

D-4958: Now what?

JR Gable: Take them off. You're only able to wear them for so long.

Subject angrily removes SCP-XXXX.

D-4958: Am or am I not supposed to wear them?!

JR Gable: You need to wear them when prompted, D-4958. Now, I will show you a number of objects. I will be recording what you see.

D-4958: Whatever you say, man.

The following is a test log to describe the items that D-4958 saw. Format is as follows:

Conditions: Subject asked to ascertain the origin of SCP-███.

Result: Unremarkable.

SCP-XXXX may not see the temporal states of other anomalous objects. Disappointing. Testing concluded Notes: Jr. Researcher Gable has unearthed some interesting limitations of SCP-XXXX's effects. Request for use as an MTF Sigma-6 forensic tool to assist in ascertaining anomalous items. -Dr. Corik Pending. Denied. You of all people should be aware of the risks involving two causality-bending SCPs. -O5-█ Date: ████ 8th, 201█ Time: 1100

Subject has now worn glasses for a total of 10 minutes and 36 seconds. Testing temporal viewing capabilities on subject's reflection. Dr. Corik: Good morning, D-4958.

D-4958: My [EXPLETIVE] name is █████, Doc. I'm not a number.

Dr. Corik: You are a number, D-4958. And so you will stay unless you cooperate.

Subject becomes hostile and grabs Dr. Corik, who remains visibly calm.

D-4958: What the hell makes you think I want to leave?

Dr. Corik: You only have one more test to complete before you're released from our custody.

Subject releases the doctor and takes a seat.

D-4958: … What do I have to do, Doc?

The doctor holds up a mirror to the subject.

Dr. Corik: Look into this mirror.

D-4958: That's it…?

Dr. Corik: That's it. Look into this mirror while wearing these.

The doctor places SCP-XXXX on the table in front of the subject. Subject eagerly takes SCP-XXXX and puts them on.

Dr. Corik: Now turn around.

Subject complies.

Dr. Corik: When you hear the door close, count to ten and turn around to look into the mirror.

D-4958: Whatever gets me outta here, Doc.

The doctor's footsteps can be heard as he exits the room. The door can audibly be heard opening and closing. Subject can be heard counting through the camera's audio feed.

D-4958: Six… Seven… Eight… Nine…….

Subject turns to look into the mirror.

D-4958:What the [EXPLETIVE]?!

Subject begins to show signs of [REDACTED]. Audible unintelligible vocalizations have been typed as approximated syllables and italicized for clarity.

D-4958: What's (unintelligible)… shun-ta-may-ree, (unintelligible) gra-ven-dei (unintelligible) for-kun-ga ha-ru-tas! I thought I was (unintelligible) you fei-war-cli-ga lee-air-za! [EXPLETIVE] kill me, you [EXPLETIVE]! I cue-ant sto-ran-da the [EXPLETIVE] pain! Just kill me, damn it!

Subject continues screaming for approximately 6 minutes. Afterwards, subject goes into a series of convulsions. Subject's age is no longer fluctuating. Rather, he is [REDACTED] at an alarming rate. After 7 minutes, subject is no longer recognizable. Subject appears to die from [REDACTED].

Test concluded Notes: Upon attempting to transport the remains, they [REDACTED]. No trace of the aforementioned remains have been located.

+ Show Addendum XXXX-01 - Hide Addendum XXXX-01 Addendum XXXX-01: Due to the recent suicides of Doctors ███████, ████, and ██, personnel opting to test foresight capabilities is expressly forbidden without written approval of Dr. Corik and one member of O5. Experiencing the infinite number of ways the world may end has proven impossible to be handled by the human psyche. If anymore reports of researchers babbling about prophecies arise, testing of SCP-XXXX will be conducted with D-class exclusively. Such talk is highly detrimental to staff morale; personnel losing faith in our cause will not be accommodated, and will be subject to amnesiac dismissal or termination at our discretion. -O5-██

Candidates must have near, if not perfect 20/20 vision.

Candidates must not have heterochromic eyes.

Candidates must be able to logically process hypotheticals; i.e., "if" questions.

Candidates must have full mental faculty (see Incident Report XXXX-01R). Note: Because of the scarcity of D-class that fit candidate requirements, testing with Zeta-events will be severely limited. -Dr. Corik

Thirty minutes after coma onset, vital signs of all three subjects ceased and subjects were declared dead. Testing with any D-class of diminished mental faculty is hereby suspended. -Dr. ████

SCP #2

SCP-#

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: [unfinished]

Description: SCP-# is an ornate wooden chair approximately 183 centimeters in height with the seat at approximately 46 centimeters from the floor. The legs of the chair connect under the seat and further extend approximately 15 centimeters above the back. Carvings in the wood of SCP-# place its time and place of origin in the Qing Dynasty, circa 1657. Aside from its anomolous properties and unusual resilience to aging, SCP-# is unremarkable in every way.

Its anomolous effects first manifest when any male individual views SCP-#. Upon viewing SCP-#, test subjects have expressed an irresistible compulsion to utilize the object. This compulsory effect lasts until eye contact is broken for an estimated 4 minutes, and lasts longer in individuals of Oriental descent. If the individual (hereafter referred to as SCP-#-1) sits upon SCP-#, they will invariably identify themselves as Aixin-Jueluo Fulin, the 3rd Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Upon proclaiming themselves as said Emperor, several terra cotta warriors (dubbed SCP-#-A) will manifest within 5 meters of SCP-#, expressing unquestioning loyalty to SCP-#-1.

SCP-#-1 will initially exercise authority with SCP-#-A instances in a benevolent manner, but over time will exhibit more tyrannical behavior. A strong paranoia also develops in tandem with the belligerence, ultimately leading SCP-#-1 to perform rituals akin to summary executions, designated Mu-events. During a Mu-event, any individuals congregated together or individuals in seclusion are subject to victimization. A victim/group of victims will be seized by SCP-#-A instances and forcefully escorted to SCP-#-1, where it will accuse its victims of a variety of crimes, which has consistently shown to include treason, conspiracy, and attempted usurpation of the throne. After the charges have been announced, SCP-#-1 will order the execution of its victim. [unfinished]
