Access is restricted to personnel with Level 2 clearance or higher and only for approved testing or study. Testing is only to be made via the agencies of D-class personnel. **Description:** SCP-XXXX is an ornate spinning wheel measuring 2 meters in diameter, visually resembling a carnival-style "//Wheel of Fortune//." The wheel is divided into 8 equally spaced segments, each labeled with words or symbols in various languages, some of which fall under the category of being extinct. When SCP-XXXX is spun by a sentient being, it activates and produces a randomly selected anomalous effect corresponding to the segment on which it lands. These effects range from beneficial or lethal. Effects occur immediately after the wheel comes to a stop and last anywhere from a minutes to several years. **Addendum XXXX-**1: SCP-XXXX was recovered in Palestine, Gaza Strip, inside the ruins of a destroyed carnival. [[collapsible show="+ Show SCP-XXXX testing" hide="- Hide SCP-XXXX testing"]] **Spin 01 – Segment: "//Vitality//" (Latin)** Subject D-1293's chronic heart condition was cured within 10 seconds of the wheel stopping. Subject exhibited heightened physical fitness for 72 hours. **Spin 002– Segment: Unknown Glyph** Subject D-9944 immediately collapsed and began screaming in an unidentified language. Vocal cords physically altered. Subject expired due to cranial hemorrhaging 12 minutes later. **Spin 003– Segment: "//Double or Nothing//" (English)** Subject D-7771 disappeared from the chamber. Two exact clones of D-7771 appeared in separate cells one hour later. Both believed themselves to be the original and became violent. Each terminated per protocol. **Spin 004 – Segment: “//Echo Chamber//” (Mandarin)** Subject D-0932 began repeating every question asked of them before anyone could finish asking. This continued for 11 hours, during which D-0932 demonstrated knowledge of conversations occurring in other parts of Site-77. **Spin 005 – Segment: “//Jackpot//” (Gold leaf on black)** Subject D-4130 manifested approx. 12kg of unrefined gold inside their abdomen. Subject did not survive extraction. Gold was non-anomalous. **Spin 006 – Segment: “//Time’s Up//” (Ancient Greek)** All clocks within a 100m radius ceased to function. Subject D-7792 froze mid-movement and aged into skeletal remains over the course of a minute. Local time resumed normal function after 30 minutes. **Spin 007 – Segment: “//The House Wins//” (Carved deeply into wood)** Chamber doors locked without input. Emergency override failed. Screaming continued for 13 minutes. Upon regaining access, all personnel inside the chamber (2 guards and 1 researcher) were gone. SCP-XXXX appeared freshly cleaned and had gained an additional segment labeled “Replay?” **Spin 008 – Segment: “Give Away” (Scrawled in what appeared to be ancestry)** Subject D-2001 compulsively removed and handed over all teeth, hair and fingernails over a period of 4 hours, speaking calmly throughout. Post-incident, subject was cognitively normal but incapable of recalling the event.

The subject must be provided with a sleep cycle of no more than 8 hours per day, monitored via EEG and heart rate sensors. Any anomalies during the sleep period must be reported immediately to Site Command. Sleep deprivation is strictly prohibited as a means of experimentation or correction, as it has been shown to exacerbate the symptoms of SCP-8786. SCP-8786 is not to be allowed contact with any individuals who are not directly involved in the containment and study of the anomaly. **Description:** SCP-8786 refers to a condition affecting human subject Silvia Houle, henceforth referred to as SCP-8786-1. When SCP-8786-1 enters a state of REM sleep, it experiences a separate life with precisely the same inhabitation as this adherent reality. This other life represent a timeline in which she has not been contained by the Foundation, proposed to be her primary waking reality (designated as Life A), while the other is a completely separate existence occurring in a parallel universe or reality (designated as Life B). Both lives operate concurrently and SCP-8786-1 retains full awareness of both, switching between them when waking and falling asleep. However, SCP-8786-1 has shown to retain information within Life A which it then proceeds to duplicate in the other reality. The timelines of Life A and Life B are unique and have diverged at some point in SCP-8786-1's past, but from SCP-8786-1's perspective, both timelines are supposedly authentic, with distinct memories, relationships and personalities in each. # The passage of time in both Life A and Life B is perceived as linear by SCP-8786-1. When awake in Life A, SCP-8786-1 has no awareness of the events occurring in Life B, but upon entering REM sleep, the transition to Life B is seamless. Both timelines, while appearing to proceed at their own rates, maintain synchronized moments of sleep and wakefulness that correspond with each other. # Upon waking from sleep, SCP-8786-1 experiences full retention of memories from both timelines, though the subject reports a persistent difficulty in reconciling the distinct personalities and events in each. This leads to occasional lapses in judgment, confusion, and disorientation when interacting with others in Life A. # The nature of Life B is notably different from Life A. In Life B, SCP-8786-1 may encounter individuals, objects, or even locations that appear similar but are fundamentally altered, leading to situations where objects or people from Life A appear in Life B with varying degrees of divergence. This creates further confusion for SCP-8786-1, who reports experiences of deja vu, uncanny coincidences, and instances of repeating moments in both lives. # Prolonged exposure to the phenomenon has led to cases of extreme dissociation, depression, and, in some instances, suicidal ideation. SCP-8786-1's inability to choose between timelines has created significant emotional turmoil, as the subject feels trapped in a dual existence. The subject has also expressed a desire to "merge" both lives into one cohesive reality, though this has proven impossible. **Incident Log 8786-A:** During a routine sleep cycle, SCP-8786-1 exhibited signs of heightened anxiety and distress while in Life B. After a sequence of vivid dreams, SCP-8786-1 reported the experience of "shifting" between lives mid-sleep, experiencing what it described as an "intermediate state." This event resulted in a temporary period of amnesia, where SCP-8786-1 could not recall whether certain memories belonged to Life A or Life B. Further investigation into the timeline structure of both lives revealed that both lives experienced significantly altered outcomes based on SCP-8786-1's decisions. However, attempts to allow SCP-8786-1 to control the course of events in either life have proven ineffective, as each timeline remains intrinsically fixed to a separate set of variables. **Experiment Log 8786-03:** > **Experiment Type:** Sleep cycle alteration > **Procedure:** SCP-8786-1 was subjected to a series of sleep-wake cycles of varying lengths to > determine the impact on memory overlap and mental health. > **Results:** SCP-8786-1 exhibited extreme distress following two consecutive nights of extended wakefulness (48 hours without sleep). Upon resuming a normal sleep cycle, SCP-8786-> 1 reported intense confusion and difficulty discerning between the timelines. Notably, SCP-8786-1 experienced an episode of "hallucinations" where both Life A and Life B merged into a singular, for a brief period. > **Conclusion:** Sleep deprivation is not advisable as it worsens SCP-8786-1's psychological state and may lead to unpredictable consequences. **Addendum 8786-B:** Research is ongoing to determine whether this phenomenon is a result of an anomalous psychological condition, an effect of a hidden memetic force, or a consequence of a multidimensional disturbance. It is unclear whether the phenomenon is replicable in other individuals, but further investigation into SCP-8786-1’s past and genetic history is underway. ------ [[div class="blockquote" style="border-radius: 10px; margin: 10px"]] **BEGIN LOG** **\[Dr. Harkness enters the interview room. SCP-8786-1 is already seated, slouched in her chair with earbuds in. She removes one earbud as Dr. Harkness sits across the table.]** **Dr. Harkness**: Good morning, SCP-8786-1. **SCP-8786-1**: [Rolls eyes] Ugh. Just call me Nina. You don’t have to say the creepy barcode every time. **Dr. Harkness**: Protocol, I’m afraid. How are you feeling today? **SCP-8786-1**: [Shrugs] Depends. Which me are you asking? **Dr. Harkness**: The one in this room. **SCP-8786-1**: Then bored. Locked up, watched 24/7, no internet, no friends. **Dr. Harkness**: Let’s talk about the other version of you - the one that isn't here. You’ve said she lives a completely different life? **SCP-8786-1**: Yeah. I mean, I go to school. Have a bedroom that doesn’t look like a padded shoebox. My mom makes pancakes on Saturdays. No security cameras in the bathroom. It's normal. **Dr. Harkness**: Are you aware of both lives simultaneously? **SCP-8786-1**: Kind of? It’s like I fall asleep here, and I wake up there. Or the other way around. Like someone flips a switch in my head, and boom - new timeline, same face. **Dr. Harkness**: Do the others - your family, friends - in that timeline know about the Foundation? **SCP-8786-1**: Nope. It’s like the SCP stuff doesn’t even exist there. And you know what's messed up? In that life my dad’s not some O5 puppet master. He’s dead. Heart attack when I was six. But here? He’s the one keeping me locked up like I’m a lab rat. **[Pause. Dr. Harkness taps her pen lightly.]** **Dr. Harkness**: You believe your father, O5-█, is responsible for your containment? **SCP-8786-1**: I *know* he is. Don’t give me that classified clearance garbage. I heard them- guards outside my cell talking about “//the boss’s daughter//.” Like I'm some kinda liability. Pretty sure being your own dad’s dirty secret is an SCP in itself. **Dr. Harkness**: Have you noticed any changes when you switch between lives? **SCP-8786-1**: Yeah. Tiny stuff. Scars that show up in one world but not the other. Memories that bleed over. Like once, I remembered the code to my locker here while I was in school there. It freaked me out. My hands were shaking all day. **Dr. Harkness**: That’s valuable. Has the other version of you - outside - ever tried to communicate about this with anyone? **SCP-8786-1**: I tried. Once. Told my best friend Chloe that I thought I was living two lives. She laughed it off. Said I should lay off the caffeine. I haven’t brought it up again. Why ruin the only version of me that’s free? **[SCP-8786-1 pulls her knees up to her chest, resting her chin.]** **SCP-8786-1**: You know what’s the worst part? Neither of me feels fake. Both lives feel real. And I don’t know which one I’m dreaming. **Dr. Harkness**: Perhaps both are real. Or neither. Either way, we want to help you understand your condition. **SCP-8786-1**: [Dryly] By keeping me in a cell and making me talk to therapists with clipboards? **Dr. Harkness**: Understanding precedes freedom. That’s what your father believes. **SCP-8786-1**: Yeah? Well, tell him thanks for the genetic nightmare. Guess I was born with the “classified” gene. **[Pause.]** **Dr. Harkness**: Nina... do you think the other you will ever find us? **SCP-8786-1**: I hope not. I wouldn’t wish this place on anyone - not even myself. **END LOG** [[/div]] ------ [[div class="footer-wikiwalk-nav"]] [[=]] << [[[SCP-8785]]] | SCP-8786 | [[[SCP-8787]]] >> [[/=]] [[/div]]
