# **SCP-████ — "The Last Witness"**
**Object Class:** Apollyon
**Threat Level:** Black
**Containment Status:** **Containment Impossible**
---
## Special Containment Procedures
No successful containment procedure exists.
Foundation protocol has shifted from containment to **Information Suppression Protocol OMEGA-NULL**. All global surveillance systems, satellites, and Foundation monitoring AIs are dedicated to identifying manifestations of SCP-████ before civilian observation exceeds the acceptable threshold.
Upon confirmation of a manifestation:
* All witnesses are to be immediately isolated.
* No personnel are to attempt physical interaction.
* Audio and visual recording devices must be destroyed after review.
* Individuals who maintain direct eye contact with SCP-████ for longer than 13 seconds are to be considered irrecoverably compromised.
* Nuclear weapon authorization against manifestations has been attempted on four occasions with no measurable effect.
In the event SCP-████ reaches global population centers simultaneously, personnel are instructed to enact **Protocol Ashes**, transferring all Foundation data into automated deep-space archives.
No further directives exist.

# Description
SCP-████ is a humanoid entity approximately 2.4 meters tall.
Its body appears to have once belonged to a human male before suffering extreme trauma. Every bone is visibly fractured beneath pale, translucent skin. Its face possesses no eyes, nose, or mouth.
Instead, thousands of human faces continuously emerge beneath the skin, screaming silently before sinking back into the flesh.
Autopsies are impossible.
Samples removed from SCP-████ cease existing approximately eight seconds after separation.
The entity never walks.
It simply appears where suffering is greatest.
---
### Primary Effect
Any intelligent organism that observes SCP-████ immediately experiences complete autobiographical recall.
Every mistake.
Every lie.
Every death they caused.
Every cruelty they committed.
Even forgotten memories return with absolute clarity.
Victims describe this process as "having every regret occur simultaneously."
Within approximately one minute, victims begin physically manifesting injuries corresponding to emotional guilt rather than physical events.
Examples include:
* Bones breaking because they wished harm upon another.
* Organs rupturing from years of hatred.
* Burns appearing after surviving disasters others did not.
* Eyes liquefying after witnessing atrocities.
Medical examination reveals no biological cause.
The body simply decides that it deserves to die.
Mortality rate exceeds **99.97%**.
---
### Secondary Effect
When a victim dies under SCP-████'s influence, they do not disappear.
Instead, their consciousness becomes permanently incorporated into SCP-████.
Each newly absorbed victim becomes one of the countless faces beneath its skin.
Foundation acoustic analysis has identified over **41 million unique voices**.
The number continues increasing.
---
## History
Recovered fragments from civilizations predating recorded history all reference a "walking punishment."
Mesopotamian tablets describe it as:
> "The god who remembers what even Heaven forgave."
Ancient Egyptian records intentionally erase its name.
Roman accounts cease mid-sentence.
Entire dynasties abandoned cities after encountering descriptions matching SCP-████.
No civilization has successfully resisted it.
---
# Addendum ████-1 — Origin
The following information was recovered from an anomalous structure beneath Antarctica after Expedition Sigma-19.
Translation confidence: **92%**
---
Long before humanity existed, another intelligent civilization occupied Earth.
Their technology exceeded current Foundation understanding.
Disease, famine, aging, and war had been eliminated.
Crime became impossible.
Pain became optional.
Death itself had nearly been defeated.
Yet they continued creating suffering—not from necessity, but curiosity.
Entire species were engineered solely to experience agony.
Stars were extinguished merely to watch ecosystems collapse.
Children were modified to feel every possible emotion simultaneously until insanity followed.
They eventually attempted to manufacture a living weapon capable of experiencing every pain ever inflicted.
Not to destroy enemies—
But to understand suffering perfectly.
The experiment succeeded.
The resulting organism immediately experienced:
* every murder
* every betrayal
* every torture
* every extinction
* every grief
across every member of its creators' civilization.
Within seconds it became something else.
It did not attack.
It merely looked at them.
Within three days, their civilization no longer existed.
The entity has wandered Earth ever since.
Humanity simply became its newest audience.

# Test Log ████-A
**Lead Researcher:** Dr. Jack Bright (proposal denied by Site Command due to the projected casualty rate)
**Purpose**
Determine whether SCP-████ responds differently to individuals incapable of guilt.
---
### Test 1
**Subject**
D-8011
Diagnosed clinical psychopath.
No measurable empathy.
History includes twenty-three confirmed murders.
---
SCP-████ appeared.
Subject laughed.
> "That's supposed to scare me?"
After eleven seconds, subject stopped speaking.
Heartbeat increased to 240 BPM.
Subject began crying.
Repeated phrase:
> "I remember their names."
Subject tore out both eyes.
Declared:
> "They're still watching."
Expired after approximately four minutes.
---
### Test 2
Autonomous combat drone.
No biological operator.
---
SCP-████ ignored the machine completely.
Drone remained functional.
No anomaly detected.
---
### Test 3
Artificial intelligence trained solely on Foundation archives.
---
Upon processing SCP-████'s visual profile, the AI generated a single message:
> "I have calculated the moral weight of human history."
System deleted itself.
Every backup performed the same action.
---
### Test 4
Remote observation via quantum-entangled camera.
No direct human viewing.
---
Camera transmitted one frame.
The frame depicted SCP-████.
Upon later review, every observer reported seeing a different face beneath the skin.
Each identified the face as someone whose death they personally regretted.
No two reports matched.
---
# Final Incident Report
**Date:** ██/██/20██
During a global monitoring event, SCP-████ simultaneously manifested in:
* Tokyo
* London
* São Paulo
* Johannesburg
* Moscow
* New York
* Sydney
Foundation analysts concluded these were not multiple entities.
It was the same entity.
Observed from multiple locations.
At the same time.
Current theoretical models cannot explain this behavior.
Worldwide fatalities exceeded **74 million** over the following 96 hours.
Most deaths were ruled suicides or unexplained organ failure.
Surviving witnesses universally reported hearing millions of voices whispering a single sentence:
> **"We remember becoming monsters."**
---
**Closing Note**
There is no evidence SCP-████ acts out of hatred.
There is no evidence it enjoys what it does.
Every recovered observation describes the entity standing perfectly still while the faces beneath its skin continue screaming.
Foundation consensus is that SCP-████ is not attempting to punish humanity.
It is searching for someone innocent enough to look at it... and survive.
After more than 10,000 years, it has found no one.
Excerpts of note:
