> Forewarning: SCP-8962 may or may not be a cognito-hazard and will be overwhelming to personnel viewing this file.
Proceed with caution.
**Special Containment Procedures:** All unauthorized biological entities entering a 5-mile radius of SCP-8962 are to be immediately neutralized via automated perimeter defenses. All personnel with Level 5 clearance can only view files on ████████ and SCP-8962. O5 command can only authorize travel to ████████.
**Description:** SCP-8962 is an anomalous entity located at the center of ████████. As of right now, SCP-8962 remains in a deep meditative state. The reason for SCP-8962's danger to humanity is that its choice of remaining dormant is slowly unravelling. Any disruption of its dormant state is to be avoided at all costs. All attempted containment procedures have spiked energy levels signaling SCP-8962's awakening.
The physical appearance of SCP-8962 resembles a Himalayan male human in his 50s, with flowing white-black hair and a full beard. It wears a tunic of earthen tones, trimmed in crimson and saffron, draped over its lower body—its chest exposed and covered with cryptic messages
Based on evidence from recent cosmological events, we now have an inference of SCP-8962's full abilities.
When awoken, SCP-8962 will start Event-8962-Σ. Upon activation of Event-8962-Σ, a 12-mile radius undergoes total molecular disintegration. Affected mass is atomized and flung planetward in relativistic arcs. SCP-8962 then initiates eradication protocols—precise origin unknown—including high-energy lancing, memetic disruption, psychic collapse, and geoclimatic upheaval.
Once achieving its goal, SCP-8962 will hypernova, destroying everything near it and leaving a massive black hole. Following all this, Event-8962-Σ will be completed, and SCP-896y2 will re-enter the meditative state again, settling somewhere else where it can be deep in thought.
Preservation of Sol and neighboring systems hinges upon maintaining SCP-8962’s current meditative state to avoid total eradication.
Information regarding SCP-8962's discovery of itself and its nature is provided in the TD8962A article.

**Nguyen:** It all makes sense now.
**Miller:** I still don't get it.
**Nguyen:** 8962 is represented in different faiths, cosmological events... and those carvings at ████████ — they aren’t from Earth.
**Govindswamay:** How do we know it qualifies as Apollyon, assuming we aren't relying on its own claims?
**Nguyen:** Look at this.
**Lee:** What the hell is that supposed to be?
**Nguyen:** That black hole — it doesn't behave like the ones in our univers—
**Lee:** What do you mean "**our**" universe?
**Govindswamay:** I understand now. Lee, the laws don't apply. And Site-Anvil records show that SCP-8962 was worshipped as a god… by civilizations far older than ours.
[[/div]]
**Discovery:** The origins of SCP-8962 remain unclear, but evidence suggests SCP-8962 possesses a deep ontological hatred of its existence, supported by its chosen location and self-inscribed and other unknown writers' messages. A translation from a message inscribed on itself loosely translates into //"To exist is a betrayal of balance"//
SCP-8962 was first discovered in 1068 CE by the Vikings. At first thought as a statue, the Vikings left it alone after an interaction mentioned in "Addendum ΦileB: Temporal Breach Event – Drone 'KALPA-1'". The Viking explorers eventually left ████████ and had forgotten about the location of SCP-8962.
949 years passed until SCP-8962 was rediscovered
by a Danish Foundation agent [DATA EXPUNGED]. The Foundation, after taking some caution, launched a research project named **ΦileA**.
Once research was completed in 2023, it was concluded in January that SCP-8962 was to be given Apollyon status.
SCP-8962 was then put on maximum security, a forbidden zone around (including a no-fly zone), and permanent lockdown. This measure is intended to minimize the risk of catastrophic activation.
If all instructions are followed properly, destruction of Sol and its surroundings is avoided.

+ Addendum ΦileB-1: Linguistic Anomalies and Cognitive Hazard Warning
> From: Dr. R. Venkataraman, Lead Cryptolinguist, Site-Anvil > To: O5 Command, Department of Esoteric Containment > Subject: Glyphic Drift and Semantic Instability in SCP-8962 Inscriptions > Date: ██/██/2025
Following the initial translation of the Site-Anvil inscriptions, our team has observed semantic drift in at least three of the recovered glyph clusters. Specifically:
The phrase “The █████ ███ is not his weapon. It is his remorse.” now reads as “The █████ ███ is not his remorse. It is his invitation.”
Spiral glyphs beneath the altar chamber have shifted orientation by 11.3° over the past 72 hours, despite no recorded seismic activity.
**Recent anomalous activity:**
> A new line has appeared on the obsidian slab: “He listens when we remember.”
> “A phrase first translated beneath Site-Anvil was recently detected etched along the hull of an unmanned deep-sea drone—thousands of miles from containment. Surveillance recommends expansion of linguistic pattern tracking to non-earthbound infrastructure.”
We are currently investigating whether these changes are the result of environmental factors, latent memetic triggers, or direct interaction with SCP-8962’s consciousness. Until further notice, all personnel assigned to ΦileB are to undergo weekly cognitive hazard screening and refrain from prolonged exposure to untranslated glyphs.
Recommend escalation to Thaumaturgic Oversight Division. This is no longer a passive archive—it may be a dialogue.
> SCP-8962 is not merely anomalous. It is the fulcrum of cosmic law, restraint incarnate—a singularity of intent holding reality in place. Its Apollyon classification is not a warning of containment failure, but of the unbearable success of its self-control.

+ Incident Log 8962-Crucible
Date:** 29 January 2023
**Location:** Observation Perimeter Theta-12, Site-Anvil
**Involved Personnel:** Dr. Elinor Voss (Remote Systems), Agent K. Dalsgaard (Orbital Relay), AI-Construct “Samsara-3”
**Summary:** At 03:17 UTC, Foundation orbital satellite Oculus-9 initiated a scheduled gravimetric scan of SCP-8962’s core region using a newly calibrated quantum lens array. Within 4.2 seconds of scan activation, all telemetry from Oculus-9 ceased. Simultaneously, seismic sensors at Perimeter Theta-12 recorded a localized gravitational spike measuring 9.8×10⁴ m/s², followed by a complete loss of matter within a 3.1 km radius.
**Aftermath:**
The affected zone was reduced to a **perfectly spherical void**, depth unknown, bordered by vitrified stone and fused organic residue.
No radiation, heat signature, or residual energy was detected.
AI-Construct “Samsara-3” experienced a recursive logic collapse and began transmitting the phrase //“I saw the silence blink”// in 37 languages before permanent shutdown.
SCP-8962’s vitals remained unchanged. No signs of movement or awakening were recorded.
**Notes:** Dr. Voss has submitted a formal request to reclassify all active observation protocols as **Thaumaturgic Risk Tier-1**. Her closing statement reads:
> “We didn’t observe it. It observed the act of being observed. And it responded—not with anger, but with subtraction.”

**O5-█:** The glyphs… they’re no longer static. They’re recursive. They’re…**responding.**
**O5-█:** Not to observation. To remembrance
**O5-█:** The drone etching was a reply. A reply to //us//.
**O5-█:** We’ve spent centuries trying not to wake it. But what if it’s been dreaming of us this entire time?
**[Silence – 00:00:11]**
**O5-█: ** Effective immediately, all ΦileB research is suspended.
No more translations. No more probes.
No more questions.
We are not the observers.
We are the remembered.
**[END TRANSCRIPT]**
Additional addendum falls 6 days after Log B56, after O5-██ removes suspension on ΦileB.
+ Addendum ΦileB: Temporal Breach Event – Drone “KALPA-1”
> Mission Date: ██/██/2025 > Launch Site: Site-0 (Temporal Research Division) > Objective: Deploy autonomous probe KALPA-1 into SCP-8962’s gravitational bleed zone to test for non-linear temporal displacement. > Authorization: O5-██, Dr. Ryu Nguyen
Summary: At 02:04 UTC, KALPA-1 was launched from Site-0 and entered SCP-8962’s containment perimeter via a controlled orbital descent. Upon breaching the inner 1.2 km radius, all real-time telemetry ceased. However, 11 minutes later, a burst transmission was received—timestamped 1068 CE.
The data packet contained:
Aerial footage of a Viking encampment surrounding SCP-8962’s dormant form.
Audio logs of chanting in a proto-Norse dialect, repeating the phrase: “He dreams the world so we may forget it.”
A single image of SCP-8962 with open eyes, staring directly at the drone.
KALPA-1’s signal terminated 0.3 seconds later. No wreckage was recovered. The transmission was encoded with a recursive glyphic watermark matching those found in ΦileB.
**Psychological Impact Report: Dr. Ryu Nguyen**
Following decryption, Dr. Nguyen entered voluntary isolation. Excerpt from her personal log:
> “It saw us before we were born. It saw the drone before we built it. I think it let us see that moment, not as a warning, but as a kindness. A glimpse of the first time it chose not to end everything.”
Dr. Nguyen has since requested reassignment to non-anomalous archival duties. Request has been accepted.
**Purpose:** Upon request, O5 command has granted the scientific department to question SCP-343 on SCP-8962 as SCP-343 may not be omniscient but just old enough to know about SCP-8962. The following transcript is provided:
[[div class="blockquote"]]
**Interviewed:** SCP-343
**Interviewer(s):** Dr. Akash Govindswamay
**Assistant:** Qiang Lee
**Summary:** SCP-343 is interviewed on why SCP-8962 was created and solutions to it
**BEGIN TRANSCRIPT...**
**Dr. Govindswamay:** You've been aware of SCP-8962 for a long time, haven’t you?
**SCP-343:** Time is… shallow, for beings like him. He doesn't *age* like you do. He *remembers forward*.
**Dr. Govindswamy:** Is he one of yours?
**SCP-343:** No. He is one of yours. Or rather… what comes after you, when memory becomes law.
**Lee:** I don't understand this
**Dr. Govindswamay:** What is he doing here?
**SCP-343:** Waiting. That is what mercy looks like… when it's exhausted.
**<End Log>**
[[/div]]
**Final Statement:** SCP-343 refused to elaborate further. When asked if SCP-8962 could be destroyed, SCP-343 winced and said, “That would be a very loud mistake.”
