Item# SCP-033-TH
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-033-TH is contained in an 8x8 sterile airtight room with two personnel guarding the outside and armed with powerful tranquilizer guns. SCP-033-TH will be fed every three meals per day, and the room will be disinfected every 24 hours. If abnormal behavior or escape attempts are observed, personnel may use tranquilizers on SCP-033-TH.
At present, it is not known how to create a specific containment chamber for SCP-033-TH with our current technology due to its random disappearance and reappearance, making it difficult to predict. If any personnel encounter SCP-033-TH, they must contact the office as soon as possible. Personnel or staff with a clearance level lower than 4 are not allowed to approach SCP-033-TH. If touched or approached within 100 meters without wearing specific protective gear, they must be apprehended and subjected to strict health examinations. Once SCP-033-TH is located, relevant personnel must secure the surrounding area within a 1-kilometer radius. Permission to establish a small quarantine camp around SCP-033-TH is granted, along with checks for contamination and disinfection with equipment before and after entering the quarantine area. SCP-033-TH must not be harmed under any circumstances. Its continued normal existence is considered the best-case scenario.
Description: Records show that SCP-033-TH first appeared in 17██ in a village near Zhengzhou. The documents describing SCP-033-TH's discovery only mention it as a average-looking human male, approximately 180 centimeters tall, around 30 years old, with a distant personality and slower responses than normal people. It is often seen wearing a dark-colored oversized coat, black trousers, and carrying a large bag on its back. SCP-033-TH does not respond to any form of communication and tends to write notes in a strange script resembling ancient Chinese bronze script. Researchers at the foundation are attempting to study SCP-033-TH's notes but have not reached a conclusion before the object disappears.
SCP-033-TH's first appearance resulted in over 5,000 villagers dying from a mysterious, incurable disease. Symptoms of this virus include high fever, headache, and vomiting black blood. the skin swells and darkens in various spots. People referred to this as the "Black Death." The virus spread to several villages over a period of more than 2 years while SCP-033-TH remained in containment before it disappeared along with the mysterious disease. An investigation by one of the officials can be read in the SCP-033-TH-NT-01 log.
After the records of 17██, SCP-033-TH reappeared in Luoyang City in 19██, accompanied by a new strain of the virus that was still untreatable. However, this time the authorities failed to capture it in time, and SCP-033-TH vanished again along with the virus. The capture log can be found in SCP-033-TH-D-01.
Each appearance of SCP-033-TH brings with it a mysterious, unexplainable virus. However, a state-of-the-art tracking device has been successfully attached to SCP-033-TH. It will indicate the location of SCP-033-TH when it reappears, making it easier to prevent and search for it in the future.

Note: The tracking with the device failed. It seems that our device was severely damaged by high heat and seawater. The device dissolved while we found salt residue from seawater and some fungus attached to the device. I really want to know which centuries SCP-033-TH has been to - Dr.██████
Additional details: From further studies in 2000, using the body scanner to examine SCP-033-TH, the area from the neck down to the tips of the toes is entirely machanical. It becomes even more interesting when scanning his large shoulder bag, which contains some medium-sized mechanisms inside. Upon examination by several mechanical and technological experts at the foundation, they concluded that the object inside his bag is a particle accelerator, far more complex than current technology can achieve. In addition, the detector found a massive energy source, which, upon closer examination, turned out to be Antimatter.
Annihilation, or the collision of matter and antimatter, results in both substances dissolving and releasing energy in the form of electromagnetic waves or gamma radiation. The application of this theory remains a challenge for contemporary scientists because antimatter is extremely rare while matter is abundant in the universe. Physicists are still curious about where antimatter has gone. It is speculated that this might be the main energy source that SCP-033-TH stores for use. Many foundation physicists agree that if a reaction occurs, causing annihilation, not only would an entire continent disappear from Earth's map, but the explosion could potentially destroy the stratosphere, causing the extinction of all life on Earth, turning it into a barren planet like Venus.
Note: The fact that we are aware of such true, immense capabilities, but can't do anything about it, is such a frustrating feeling. - Dr.██████
Upon inspection, SCP-033-TH is not actually a machine. The subject wears a form-fitting suit made of an unknown type of metal with high flexibility and strength, excellent heat and electrical resistance properties. This is why firearms and electricity cannot harm the subject at all. Moreover, it seems that the subject's suit has some mechanism that can adjust the ambient temperature to ensure its own survival in any season.
Note: I don't know which dimension or universe you got him from, but the place he comes from is far more advanced than ours. I'm not even talking about the elements and chemicals that are emitted from his suit, as there are so many we do not know - Dr.██████

The latest appearance of SCP-033-TH has resulted in increased collaboration with individuals within the organization, to the point of breaking protocol. It has also allowed for the inspection and explanation of various events that have occurred. Conversations can be listened to in SCP-033-TH-RC-43.
Additionally, SCP-033-TH has revealed a decryption method for translating its own recordings, allowing personnel to be aware of it. Currently, the foundation's cryptanalysts are rushing to translate the recordings for study and future reference.
Appendix-1: Interrogation Record of a containment officer of SCP-033-TH: Record SCP-033-TH-NT-01
Interrogator: Officer ██████
Interrogatee: Officer ██
Officer ██████ : Hello, Officer ███. Today, I need to interrogate you about the mysterious disappearance of SCP-033-TH.
Officer ███ : …Yes, sir.
Officer ██████ : So, let's get started. The first thing I am most suspicious of is the moment SCP-033-TH disappeared from your sight. Were you under the influence of any intoxicants?
Officer ███ : What!? Are you joking with me? Please! I'm dead serious!
Officer ██████ : In your report, you mentioned that SCP-033-TH exhibited strange body movements, producing faint but sharp sounds, prompting you to intervene with sedatives. However, the target showed no signs of calming down, so you had to harm the target. And you claim that the target was unharmed?
Officer ███ : Oh! My God! Sir! I have defeated more than ten people in a bar. So, I can confidently say that he was really unharmed.
Officer ██████ : Okay, I understand you now. Although I still cannot believe this crazy story, we don't have much time. I will skip to the next topic. Next, you wrote that there was a "distortion" around him. Can you explain what that means?
Officer ███ : …It's quite difficult to explain. Even at my age, I'm confident that my vision is as good as any normal person. I swear that there was a distortion around him, like fog…no, it was like there was a thin, concave mirror the size of his body behind him, and it seemed to reflect images back and forth.
Officer ██████ : A curved mirror, huh? Interesting… And you also claim that you saw sparks and lightning emanating from him? What is that?
Officer ███ : I can't explain it, sir. I just saw many lightning bolts hitting the walls of the room. Then SCP-033-TH seemed to be sucked into the mirror, and the mirror itself shrank and vanished.
Officer ██████ : You know… This sounds so nonsensical. I can't write a summary report saying that SCP-033-TH suddenly disappeared from containment due to being sucked into a mirror dimension. This is clearly bullshit.
Officer ███ : But sir!! I saw it with my own eyes, along with my containment partner!
Officer ██████ : You may not know yet, but your containment partner passed away this evening due to the deadly virus we are currently facing. So, there are no witnesses other than you.
Officer ███ : What are you saying… He's dead? Oh my God!…
Officer██████ : Hey… Officer ███, are you okay? Hey!! …Okay, let's end the interrogation for today!
Appendix-2: Capture Log of SCP-033-TH: Record SCP-033-TH-D-01
██/██/19██ A report was sent to the office about the location of SCP-033-TH, which had escaped from containment since 19██. It was necessary to send MTF for the operation with the measures [DATA EXPUNGED]. Everything went according to plan, but at that time, SCP-033-TH managed to escape as soon as the officer fired at the target. The pursuit began, and this is the conversation of the officers chasing SCP-033-TH.
[[Start of conversation after SCP-033-TH has escaped]]
Mission Controller : My God! What happened?
Officer ████ : The target is escaping, sir! I and Team B are now chasing the target.
Mission Controller : How did this happen? You said the target was immobilized!
Officer ████ : Yes, sir! We aimed for result, but the bullets couldn't penetrate the target's skin.
Mission Controller : What do you mean it couldn't penetrate? What's going on?
Officer ██████ : It's true, sir. I'm on Team C, close to the target, and can clearly see that the bullets hit the target but couldn't harm it.
Officer ██ : From Team A, the target is about to exit the containment zone. Lure it to point P quickly!!
Officer ██████ : Target spotted! Luring him to the rendezvous point (automatic gunfire sounds) The target is almost at the rendezvous point!!
Officer ████ : Target in sight!! (automatic gunfire sounds) Wait a minute, what is that? The target is doing something… It looks like some kind of device for containing some substance.
Mission Controller : Whatever it is, do not let it be used at all costs! Stop the target!!
(Continuous gunfire sounds)
Officer ██████ : We can't stop the target, sir! It's activating the device… There's a flash of light, sir, and it… it's turning into an electrical current.
Mission Controller : It's getting away!! Stop it! Stop it!!
(Explosion sound)
Officer ██████ : Sir… The target is gone.
Mission Controller : Damn it! …Withdraw. We'll return to the office. I hope I won't be fired…
Note: //Officer ████ was deemed incompetent in mission control and was demoted to Level 2 - Chief. █████ ████
Appendix-3: Interview Record of SCP-033-TH: Record SCP-033-TH-RC-43
Interviewer: Dr.█████
Interviewee: SCP-033-TH
Dr.█████ : Hello SCP-033-TH
SCP-033-TH : Hello
Dr.█████ : I apologize for not being able to question you directly myself, but I have some urgent questions that need clarification. I would like you to help us clear our doubts.
SCP-033-TH : Yes, I understand.
Dr.█████ : In that case, the first question is: Do you really intend to destroy human civilization?
SCP-033-TH : That is not true.
Dr.█████ : Then why does every appearance of you bring a virus into our world?
SCP-033-TH : It's because of my time travel across various eras. It's possible that there may be…
Dr.█████ : Wait, wait! Did you just say time travel?
SCP-033-TH : Correct.
Dr.█████ : How? How can you travel through time?
SCP-033-TH : …I cannot answer that question.
Dr.█████ : Why not?
SCP-033-TH : Because if I reveal future technology to you before its time, it could alter reality. The future might change, and I could vanish from this timeline or end up in another dimension with a completely different reality, which wouldn't be good for either side.
Dr.█████ : …So you're telling me that if you were to reveal the methods and principles behind that technology to us, the future could change, and you might not be here, like the Butterfly Effect theory, right?
SCP-033-TH : It's close to that… Can I continue explaining?
Dr.█████ : Sorry, please go ahead.
SCP-033-TH : Yes, by traveling both in the future and the past, some bacteria might have clung to my clothes and bags. It is possible that these bacteria may have evolved or grown due to environmental factors, with radiation from my body as a catalyst.
Dr.█████ : So you're saying that bacteria from different times evolved from radiation and became a new type of virus?
SCP-033-TH : It's just a theory.
Dr.█████ : If that's the case, then why aren't you affected at all?
SCP-033-TH : Because my body has atomic-level devices that can neutralize various bacterial reactions that may affect other organs, thanks to artificial intelligence from the nano-chip embedded in the back of my brain.
Dr.█████ : Hmm… interesting. Can I know the purpose of your time travel then?
SCP-033-TH : Yes. At first, my intention was just to experiment with time travel, which could be a major factor in the technological advancement of humanity. But while I was trying to return to my own time, the control mechanism was damaged due to unanticipated temperatures, rendering me unable to control the timing of my travels.
Dr.█████ : You seem to be much more knowledgeable and capable than people of my time. I'm starting to wonder why you decided to cooperate with us.
SCP-033-TH : I've been through many periods, many ages,and many places, and have become familiar with many organizations throughout different times, and I know I can trust your organization.
Dr.█████ : If so, why did you escape our capture in the 19██ records?
SCP-033-TH : That might've been the time before I got to know this organization seriously. I remember that at that time, many organizations were trying to capture me for malicious purposes.
Dr.█████ : So that's why you escaped… I'm genuinely curious, SCP-033-TH, You said you were afraid the future would change, but you appear and share ideas with people like me in this era. Don't you think you're contradicting yourself?
SCP-033-TH : I'm just speaking according to the recorded interview, Dr.█████.
