**Special Containment Procedures:**
SCP-9167 is to be housed in a reinforced humanoid containment suite in the High-Stability Wing at Site-██, constructed with multi-layer temporal shielding to mitigate potential freeze events. The chamber must be monitored at all times by high-speed temporal sensors capable of detecting micro-second fluctuations in local time, as well as any abnormal shifts consistent with SCP-9167’s activation patterns.
All personnel entering the containment area must wear Foundation-issued temporal anchors calibrated to SCP-9167’s baseline distortion frequency. These anchors are designed to prevent inadvertent suspension or displacement of personnel during an unforeseen activation event.
Due to SCP-9167’s demonstrated ability to “vanish” and reappear within a limited radius, all containment access points must be fitted with dual-layer temporal seals, motion-triggered scrambler fields, and redundant locking mechanisms capable of cycling into a stasis-hardened mode if SCP-9167 is detected approaching the threshold during a freeze state.
Communication with SCP-9167 is permitted once per 24 hours for no longer than 20 minutes. All interactions must occur under the supervision of at least one Level-3 psychologist and one senior temporal specialist. Emotional stressors must be minimized; any discussion involving SCP-9167’s family requires prior approval from Site Command due to observed volatility.
Utilization of SCP-9167 for Foundation tactical operations (designated Project STILLPOINT) remains suspended pending psychological stabilization and subject evaluation. Proposals for dual-classification (Euclid/Thaumiel) remain under review by the Temporal Oversight Committee.
**Description:**
SCP-9167 is a human male in his early twenties, formerly identified as [REDACTED], measuring 1.88 m in height with no outwardly anomalous physical traits. The anomaly’s primary ability is the instantaneous suspension of time within an adjustable radius, during which all matter—organic, inorganic, mechanical, or conceptual—becomes completely immobilized. SCP-9167 remains fully active, mobile, and unaffected during these frozen states.
While time is halted, SCP-9167 exhibits increased spatial awareness, reporting that the world appears “quiet, heavy, and stretched thin.” Frozen objects exhibit no resistance to applied force, though objects manipulated during a freeze often return to their original trajectories upon temporal resumption unless directly displaced beyond their intended path of motion.
In addition, SCP-9167 demonstrates a secondary ability initially believed to be teleportation. SCP-9167 clarifies this as “stepping between moments,” describing it as slipping through minuscule temporal gaps rather than traversing physical space instantaneously. These “steps” occur in bursts between 3–12 meters and often correlate with heightened stress or fear.
Temporal sensors have detected micro-freeze events lasting less than 0.0003 seconds immediately prior to each displacement, supporting SCP-9167’s claim.
The maximum confirmed radius of SCP-9167’s time-freeze is 54 meters. SCP-9167 insists the radius can extend significantly further under extreme emotional strain, a statement not yet verified but taken seriously by Foundation temporal researchers.
SCP-9167’s biological processes continue normally during freeze events; he experiences fatigue, hunger, injury, and pain without alteration, suggesting his anomaly affects external time only.
**Psychological Profile:**
SCP-9167 suffers from chronic anxiety, hyper-vigilance, and recurring stress episodes linked to persistent concern for the safety of his family. SCP-9167 repeatedly claims they are in “constant danger from something you people don’t understand,” though attempts to clarify this threat result in distress, silence, or avoidance.
He frequently makes requests for updates on his younger siblings, especially his sister, displaying intense protective instincts. SCP-9167 often mutters variations of:
//“I didn’t ask for this. I was just trying to keep them safe.”//
Clinically, SCP-9167 exhibits sleep deprivation, elevated cortisol levels, and signs of complex trauma. Research indicates a direct correlation between emotional instability and involuntary activation of his anomalous abilities, including micro-displacements and spontaneous time-freezes, posing a containment hazard.
Stabilizing SCP-9167’s mental state is considered a primary containment objective.
**Addendum 9167-A — First Recorded Activation**
Recovered from Agent Rallis’s body-cam footage.
[[div class="blockquote"]]
Agent Rallis: “Calm down, we’re not here to hurt—”
//(Audio fractures. Visual freezes mid-frame as all motion ceases except SCP-9167, who steps into view with visible distress.)//
SCP-9167: “...I’m sorry. I don’t want to hurt anyone. I just need to think.”
//(SCP-9167 places a hand on the immobilized Agent Rallis. A ripple distortion forms, and SCP-9167 instantaneously appears 10 meters behind him.)//
//(Time resumes. Agents collapse to their knees, disoriented.)//
[[/div]]
Following the event, SCP-9167 surrendered voluntarily, stating:
“I couldn’t keep running. I thought maybe you could help.”
This marks SCP-9167’s first confirmed large-scale activation event recorded by the Foundation.
**Addendum 9167-B — Thaumiel Potential**
Foundation temporal strategists and K-Class mitigation theorists propose that SCP-9167 could provide unprecedented operational capability, including:
- Containment or suppression of temporal anomalies
- Evacuation of personnel during high-threat events
- Localized infiltration using controlled micro-displacements
- Stabilization or suspension of critical moments during escalation scenarios
- Interrogation or retrieval operations without temporal delay
- High-precision freeze events for neutralizing unstable SCPs
Preliminary proposals suggest assigning SCP-9167 as a secondary-class Thaumiel under Project STILLPOINT if stability improves.
SCP-9167 has expressed conditional cooperation, stating:
//“I’ll help you. But you keep my family safe. All of them. That’s the only deal.”//
Due to current psychological instability, potential secondary-class designation remains unapproved.
**Addendum 9167-C — Incident 9167-7**
During a low-stress interview, SCP-9167 triggered an 11-minute unannounced time-freeze. Upon resumption, SCP-9167 appeared shaken.
When questioned regarding the cause, SCP-9167 stated:
//“Someone called my mother. The wrong number. That’s all. But for a second… I thought it was them.”//
SCP-9167 refused further elaboration.
Investigation into the identity of “they” is ongoing.
**Addendum 9167-D — Interview Log 9167-04**
Interviewee: SCP-9167
Interviewer: Dr. Halden
Location: Containment Suite 3B, Site-██
Date: ██/██/20██
[[div class="blockquote"]]
//Begin Log//
Dr. Halden: Good morning, SCP-9167.
SCP-9167: You can call me Stillframe. That’s what you people named me, right? Sounds cooler than a number.
Dr. Halden: Very well. Stillframe. How are you feeling today?
SCP-9167: //(laughs dryly)//
Like someone who hasn’t slept in… I don’t know. Time gets weird for me. What’s your excuse?
Dr. Halden: We’re here to understand that “weirdness.” Let’s start with something simple. Yesterday, you teleported—
SCP-9167: Stepped.
Dr. Halden: Stepped?
SCP-9167: Between moments. Teleporting sounds like magic. This is just… cheating the rules.
Dr. Halden: Can you explain what you experience during these “steps”?
SCP-9167: Everything stops. Slows. Folds. Hard to describe. It’s like… the world inhales and forgets to exhale. And I slip between the breaths.
Dr. Halden: You also halted time for eleven minutes during lunch. No provocation. Why?
SCP-9167: Someone called my mother. Unknown number.
//(He rubs his face, clearly distressed.)//
You don’t get it. They’re always watching them. Waiting. If I’m not careful—
Dr. Halden: “They” refers to who?
SCP-9167: //(silent)//
Dr. Halden: Stillframe, we can’t help your family if you don’t tell us who’s after them.
SCP-9167: //(leans forward, angry)//
You can’t help them. That’s the problem. Every time I talk, every time I breathe wrong, something changes out there. A different moment, a different result. You think containing me helps them? It just paints another target.
Dr. Halden: Then help us understand the threat.
SCP-9167:
//(quietly)//
I froze time once—years ago. My first time. And when everything stopped… something else didn’t.
Dr. Halden: You’ve never mentioned this before. Describe it.
SCP-9167: No.
//(He shakes his head violently.)//
Talking about it makes it notice. I’m not risking that.
Dr. Halden: One more question, then. Why did you surrender to the Foundation instead of continuing to run?
SCP-9167: Because running only buys me moments.
//(He glances at the surveillance camera.)//
And you people—at least you can hold time still in other ways. Locks. Doors. Rules. Structure. I thought maybe… maybe you could keep them safe.
Dr. Halden: Them being your family?
SCP-9167:
//(softly)//
My little sister. She’s ten. She still thinks I’m a hero.
Dr. Halden: And are you?
SCP-9167:
//(looks away)//
I’m trying. But I think I’m running out of moments to step into.
