**Item #:** SCP-8956
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:**
SCP-8956 is to be contained within a 10-meter by 10-meter containment chamber, constructed of reinforced titanium alloy with a constant atmospheric pressure of 101.325 kPa and a temperature maintained at 22°C. The chamber must be surrounded by an electromagnetic field to suppress SCP-8956's anomalous electromagnetic emissions. Access to the chamber is restricted to Level 4 personnel, and any interaction with the anomaly requires prior approval from Site-49's Research Director.
SCP-8956's containment protocol must include routine psychological assessments for all personnel assigned to its direct interaction. Weekly testing of environmental conditions is to ensure no abnormal fluctuations occur within the chamber. In the event of SCP-8956’s breach, emergency procedures include activating localized memory-erase devices among affected personnel and utilizing Drone Recovery Protocols to resecure the anomaly.
**Description:**
SCP-8956 is an anomalous, sentient artifact resembling an antique brass pocket watch approximately 8 cm in diameter. The watch bears no markings identifying its creator or origin, and no known technological processes capable of recreating it have been identified. SCP-8956 exhibits the following properties:
- **Temporal Distortion:** SCP-8956 emits a localized temporal anomaly in its vicinity. When in direct contact with a living being, the anomaly induces a time dilation effect, which accelerates or decelerates the subject's perception of time. The effect has been measured to alter the perception of time by a factor of 1000, subject to an individual’s psychological state. This distortion may last anywhere from 30 seconds to several hours.
- **Cognitive Influence:** Upon activation (triggered by the activation of its winding mechanism), SCP-8956 causes a secondary cognitive anomaly. Individuals within the proximity of SCP-8956 experience vivid hallucinations depicting events from their past, often with a heightened emotional intensity. These visions are not limited to mere memories but extend to alternate realities where the subject is given the chance to change past decisions. The implications of these hallucinations have led to significant psychological strain, including obsessive revisits to the watch.
- **Effect on Time Perception:** SCP-8956 has been observed to create a disjointed reality wherein the boundaries of past and future blur for the affected subject. Subjects report a sense of déjà vu or simultaneous experience of multiple timelines. The subjective experience can result in long-term memory inconsistencies, making it difficult for affected individuals to trust their own recollections of events.
**Addendum 8956-A - Discovery:**
SCP-8956 was recovered in [REDACTED], located in a remote forest area of rural ████████, following the sudden disappearance of several hikers. Upon investigation, the watch was found at the center of a large circle of burnt earth. Witness testimonies suggest that the hikers were lured toward the watch after encountering a strange "calling" sound that only they could perceive. Upon further examination, the surrounding area showed no signs of wildlife, and the flora exhibited accelerated growth within a 5-meter radius of SCP-8956.
During initial containment, Dr. ██████ inadvertently activated SCP-8956, resulting in an immediate alteration of his cognitive state. He reported experiencing "a thousand lives, each more real than the last," before collapsing from mental exhaustion. Subsequent interviews revealed disturbing insight into SCP-8956’s potential to influence individual identity and time perception.
**Addendum 8956-B - Incident Report 8956/01:**
On [DATA EXPUNGED], Dr. ████ was conducting an experiment on SCP-8956’s cognitive effects, where multiple subjects were exposed to the object simultaneously. The subjects exhibited extreme emotional reactions, including intense grief, joy, and anger, before becoming disoriented and collapsing. Dr. ████, while seemingly unaffected, began referencing past conversations and events that had never occurred. Further investigation into Dr. ████’s records revealed that these events were not part of his personal timeline, suggesting that SCP-8956 had begun to merge distinct timelines or realities.
**Addendum 8956-C - Interview with Dr. ██████:**
**Interview Date:** [DATA EXPUNGED]
**Dr. ██████:** "I’m telling you, it’s not a clock—it’s a doorway. It’s a bridge to what we’ve lost, and maybe… just maybe, it offers us the chance to get it back."
**Interviewer:** "What do you mean by that? Can you elaborate on how it works?"
**Dr. ██████:** "Every time I touch it, I feel it—like it's pulling me to a place I've been, somewhere familiar… but never quite right. The watch… it shows you moments that never happened. Or maybe they did, somewhere else. And when I wound it again, I… I felt it again. But I wasn’t me anymore. I think I saw someone else, living my life. I couldn’t change it… it was too late."
**Interviewer:** "What are you suggesting? That the watch is capable of rewriting history?"
**Dr. ██████:** "No. No, it's not rewriting. It’s… allowing us to experience the 'what-ifs.' And once we start, there's no going back."
**Addendum 8956-D - Experiment Log:**
**Experiment 8956/42 - Subject █████ (D-Class)**
**Objective:** To observe the effects of SCP-8956 when exposed to a subject suffering from severe trauma.
**Procedure:** Subject █████, who has expressed profound remorse over a past criminal act, was exposed to SCP-8956 while in a controlled environment. The subject was instructed to activate the pocket watch by winding it.
**Results:**
- Upon activation, Subject █████ immediately began to sob uncontrollably, speaking of an event from their past where they had taken a life.
- The subject reported being "back there," experiencing the same emotions, the same surroundings, and the same choices.
- Subject █████ appeared to be reliving the trauma of their actions, showing signs of dissociation with the present.
- Following a period of one hour, the subject ceased movement, eyes locked on the watch, seemingly unable to distinguish past from present.
- Post-experiment analysis showed subject's memories of the event to be altered, with conflicting reports from subsequent interviews.
**Conclusion:** SCP-8956’s ability to manipulate perception and history appears to alter more than just a person’s memories, potentially affecting their sense of self and reality. The full implications of this anomaly remain under investigation.
