**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-8680 is to be contained in a high-security, temperature-controlled containment chamber at Site-██, with walls constructed of dense, reinforced ceramic and lead composites. The chamber must be hermetically sealed at all times and equipped with multiple fail-safes designed to withstand extreme internal and external forces. Direct interaction with SCP- is prohibited except for approved research procedures under extreme caution.
Access to SCP-8680’s containment is restricted to Level 4 personnel only, and all research must be conducted remotely, via robotic interface. Personnel exposed to SCP-8680 are required to undergo a full psychological evaluation within 24 hours of exposure.
In the event of SCP-8680's breach or spontaneous activation, the Site's emergency protocol for Nullification Containment is to be enacted. This involves the use of temporal distortion containment units to freeze the SCP's internal processes until an active lock down is achieved.
**Description:** SCP-8680 is a self-contained, cubic object measuring 1.5 meters on each side, composed of an unknown, metallic material. The surface of SCP-8680 is smooth and reflective, but shows no discernible patterns or signs of manufacturing. Spectrographic analysis has failed to provide any meaningful data on its composition, and attempts to breach or disassemble SCP-8680 have proven futile.
The object is entirely devoid of any external power source and does not appear to operate on any known form of energy. However, when the object is exposed to external stimuli such as light, sound, or electromagnetic fields, it begins to exhibit phenomena that suggest a form of adaptive cognition. These phenomena include the manipulation of surrounding environmental conditions, the alteration of temporal perception, and spontaneous generation of auditory and visual hallucinations.
When the object is in the presence of any human, the following events typically occur:
**Initial Exposure:** SCP-8680 will project an anomalous field that causes disorientation in any personnel within 10 meters of the object. A "sense of presence" is reported, with affected individuals stating that they "feel watched" or "compelled to act."
**Temporal Distortion:** Once exposed to SCP-8680 for an extended period (roughly 30 minutes), individuals will experience localized time dilation, causing them to perceive time as either slower or faster than it actually is. This phenomenon becomes more pronounced the longer the exposure continues. Personnel have reported perceiving hours as mere seconds, or experiencing days of events in what seemed like a few minutes. This effect is most intense in subjects with high levels of stress or trauma, suggesting an emotional trigger.
**Hallucinations & Cognitive Enchantment:** After prolonged exposure, the object induces vivid hallucinations and intrusive thoughts, often related to the observer’s personal fears or deepest desires. These can include auditory whispers or visual representations of figures from the subject's past. Individuals exposed for over two hours begin to describe a "gateway" or "portal" opening from within the object. The nature of this phenomenon remains unclear, but it appears to be linked to a self-replicating temporal loop, in which subjects feel compelled to enter the object.
**Evacuation Syndrome:** If a subject attempts to physically move away from SCP-8680, their movement will be significantly slowed. A force field appears to extend outward from the object, applying immense psychological pressure on the individual to "stay." This pressure escalates to the point of severe physical collapse after an extended period.
It is theorized that SCP-6982’s primary anomalous effect is the creation of a shared cognitive space, which allows it to "connect" the minds of all individuals in proximity. In this shared space, it appears to act as a hyper-dimensional entity, capable of influencing the perceptions, memories, and behaviors of affected individuals. The object seems to feed off the anxiety and fear of its victims, with prolonged exposure leading to irreversible psychological breakdowns.
SCP-8680 was discovered in a remote facility in █████████, Alaska, after an anonymous tip alerted the Foundation to the disappearance of a research team sent to study a local anomaly. Upon investigation, a surviving team member was found near the object, exhibiting signs of extreme psychological distress and claiming that "time had become a fluid dream" and that the object had "promised him everything."
The only recorded instance of SCP-8680's full activation occurred during an unauthorized experiment at Site-██, where the object was exposed to a D-Class personnel for a period of 72 hours. The subject, identified as D-4371, began exhibiting signs of complete disassociation from reality. Upon retrieval, D-4371 was found in a catatonic state, muttering the phrase "It lives in the gaps, and it sees everything." Following this event, the object was classified as Keter.
Test Logs:
Test #8680-A-01: Initial Exposure (D-4371)
Subject: D-4371 (male, 29, prior criminal record)
Procedure: Subject was placed inside a containment chamber with SCP-8680 for 30 minutes. No external stimuli were introduced.
Results: Subject experienced immediate disorientation, reporting sensations of "being watched." After 15 minutes, the subject claimed to hear whispers in an unknown language. No physical injury occurred. Subject's vitals remained stable.
Conclusion: The object appears to induce mild cognitive dissonance early in exposure. Further testing required.
Test #8680-A-06: Prolonged Exposure
Subject: D-7643 (female, 34, prior employment in psychology)
Procedure: Subject was exposed to SCP-8680 for 2 hours under controlled conditions, with continuous monitoring via camera and audio feed.
Results: Subject began exhibiting signs of anxiety and paranoia after 30 minutes. At 90 minutes, she reported seeing distorted, semi-human figures moving within the reflective surface of SCP-8680. At 120 minutes, subject attempted to leave the chamber but was unable to move beyond 1 meter from SCP-8680. Audio logs contain numerous pleas for assistance. Subject collapsed after 3 hours.
Conclusion: Prolonged exposure seems to significantly affect cognitive processes, heightening susceptibility to manipulation by SCP-8680. Psychological effects become overwhelming past the 2-hour mark.
Test #8680-B-03: Temporal Displacement Experiment
Subject: D-9542 (male, 42, previous military background)
Procedure: Subject exposed to SCP-8680 for 72 hours with no external interference. Psychological evaluations were conducted hourly.
Results: Subject experienced severe time dilation. Subject reported that "one minute in here is like a lifetime," and began reliving events from his past in distorted sequences. After 48 hours, subject ceased communication. At 72 hours, subject was found in a state of extreme distress, stating that "it’s waiting for me." Subject died of cardiac arrest shortly after removal from the chamber.
Conclusion: Prolonged exposure creates irreparable psychological damage, leading to disintegration of the subject's sense of self and perception of time.
**Addenda:**
Addendum 8680-01: Following the death of D-9542, all testing with SCP-8680 has been suspended pending a complete review of its effects. Psychological and temporal analysis teams are to be assigned to determine the potential for controlled interaction with the object.
Addendum 8680-02: Recent communications from an anomalous source indicate that SCP-8680 may be "alive" in a sense, possessing the ability to communicate with other entities across dimensions. Researchers are urged to be cautious in interpreting any further findings.

Central Narrative: The foundation received multiple reports of multiple gamer's lashing out for unknown reason until one of our undercover agents question the person, saying that his vision has changed and going into details of how it happened. So the individual said that after playing his VR system for several hours and decided to take the goggles off only to find vision has changed, so the agent went to investigate the person's home to find the said goggles.
User's only recent forum post was in the discussion thread of the coldpost: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17088042/scp-8860#post-6909991
