Original submitted text:
Item #: SCP-8116
Object Class: Euclid
Threat Level: ● Yellow
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-8116 is to be contained in a standard containment vault at Site-43, sealed within a lead-lined isolation chamber measuring 4m x 4m x 4m. No fewer than two armed guards are to be stationed outside the chamber at all times.
Interaction with SCP-8116 is strictly prohibited outside of authorized testing scenarios. Any personnel exhibiting signs of temporal dissonance or preemptive memory recall are to be detained for observation and undergo Level-2 antimemetic debriefing.
In the event SCP-8116 emits an audio transmission, all recording devices within a 30-meter radius are to be disabled immediately. Any recovered recordings are to be destroyed after review by Temporal Oversight Division Theta-9 ("Clockwatchers").
Description:
SCP-8116 is a retro-style personal computer of indeterminate make, resembling a 1980s terminal. The exterior bears no serial number or manufacturer label. When powered, the machine boots into a monochrome command-line interface labeled:
ARCHEOSYSTEM v0.0.0 – Time Will Tell
The system lacks any input ports besides a single mechanical keyboard, which appears fused to the chassis. SCP-8116 cannot be disassembled or physically damaged through conventional means.
When interacted with, SCP-8116 generates detailed files labeled as "Event Logs." These logs are formatted as post-incident SCP Foundation reports — complete with staff names, Site designations, timestamps, and casualty data — all pertaining to catastrophic containment failures, mass temporal distortions, or large-scale reality restructuring events.
Notably, none of the recorded incidents have occurred.
However, over the course of several weeks to months after a log is generated, the corresponding events begin to manifest, often matching the file with disturbing precision.
Discovery:
SCP-8116 was recovered on ██/██/20██ from the ruins of Outpost Theta-6, following a temporal cascade event that erased the outpost from Foundation records for 9.4 minutes. It was discovered powered on, displaying a log titled "███ Collapse Scenario / V2", predicting the events of Incident ██-███, which would occur three weeks later.
Dr. Elaina Mirkov, assigned to initial analysis, was later found unconscious in her quarters, surrounded by printed SCP-8116 log entries. Her personal notes referenced "editing" the future via SCP-8116’s console. No such capability has been replicated by subsequent personnel.
Dr. Mirkov was reassigned after demonstrating knowledge of events that had not yet occurred, including the deaths of several staff members. Three of these predictions have since come true.
Addendum 8116-A: Repeating Logs
As of ██/██/20██, SCP-8116 has begun regenerating previously observed event logs, but with slight deviations — notably the replacement of certain names with redacted placeholders and the inclusion of new codenames not found in current Foundation rosters.
One recurring filename reads:
LOG-FINAL.EXE > [AUTORUN] > [DO NOT INTERRUPT]
This log has not yet been accessed, as all attempts result in system reboot and temporary blackouts across Site-43.
Note from Director Halverson:
"This thing isn't just predicting the future. It's writing it. We need to stop thinking of it as a computer and start treating it like an author with a deadline — and we’re the story it's trying to finish."

item #: SCP-8116
Object Class: Euclid
Threat Level: ● Yellow
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-8116 is to be kept in a standard vault of containment at Site-43, encased within a 4m x 4m x 4m lead-lined isolation chamber. No fewer than two armed security guards are to be stationed outside of the chamber continuously.
All contact with SCP-8116 is prohibited except in sanctioned test parameters. All personnel exhibiting signs of temporal dissonance or preemptive memory recall are to be apprehended for observation and undergo Level-2 antimemetic debriefing.
If SCP-8116 emits an audio broadcast, all recording devices within a radius of 30 meters are to be immediately powered down. Any recovered recordings are to be incinerated after inspection by Temporal Oversight Division Theta-9 ("Clockwatchers").
Description
SCP-8116 is an old-fashioned personal computer of indeterminate origin, appearing to be a 1980s terminal. There is no serial number or manufacturer label on the exterior. SCP-8116 boots up and loads into a monochrome command-line interface titled:
ARCHEOSYSTEM v0.0.0 – Time Will Tell
The machine has no input ports other than a single mechanical keyboard, which appears to be glued to the case. SCP-8116 cannot be disassembled or physically harmed in conventional manners.
Upon being accessed, SCP-8116 generates massive files titled "Event Logs." The logs are in the style of post-incident SCP Foundation reports — with employee name, Site code, timestamp, and casualty count included — all pertaining to disastrous containment breaches, global temporal distortions, or huge reality restructuring events.
What's more, none of the reported incidents ever occurred.
But in a series of weeks to months after log creation, the equivalent events begin to happen, often matching the file with sinister precision.
Discovery
SCP-8116 was discovered on date/time of recovery, 20██, in the ruins of Outpost Theta-6, following a temporal cascade event that removed the outpost from Foundation records for 9.4 minutes. It was powered on, and a log entitled "███ Collapse Scenario / V2" which predicted events of Incident ██-███, three weeks in the future.
Dr. Elaina Mirkov, originally assigned to preliminary analysis, was later found unconscious in her living quarters, with printed SCP-8116 log scrolls covering the floor around her. Her personal files discussed "editing" the future using SCP-8116's console. No such feature has been replicated by follow-up personnel.
Dr. Mirkov was taken off the project after demonstrating knowledge of events that had not yet occurred, including the deaths of several staff members. Three such predictions have since come to pass.
Addendum 8116-A: Repeating Logs
To date, ██/██/20██, SCP-8116 has begun to recreate previously logged event logs, but with slight differences — notably the replacement of certain names with redacted blanks and the addition of new codenames not found on current Foundation personnel rosters.
A typical filename is:
LOG-FINAL.EXE > [AUTORUN] > [DO NOT INTERRUPT]
This log has yet to be opened, as each attempt results in system reboot and temporary blackouts across Site-43.
Director's Note: Halverson:
"This thing is not just predicting the future. It's writing it. We need to detach ourselves from visualizing it as a computer and visualize it more like an author with a deadline — and we're the novel it's trying to complete."

Keep up the good stuff though!") https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17090062/scp-8116#post-6921361
thank you so much this is my second time trying to write one because my first one got taken down, I hope you have a good day!
