Site-17, Facility Alpha/SCP-2566-JP prior to the occurrence of an incarceration violation.
Special Definitions/RADIX: The RADIX Class anomaly significantly interferes with the Foundation's system of controls; the RADIX Class replaces the standard YESOD Class defined for anomalies not strictly related to Judaism. If a clear violation of the non-standard RADIX protocol is discovered, please report the violation to the Temporal Anomalies Department, which is in charge of this matter, or through the SCiP.NET standard reporting function.
Special Containment Procedures: For the purpose of further investigation and verification of SCP-2566-JP, all entry to Site-17 - Facility Alpha is prohibited. The Tactical Operations Command will be in charge of the on-site inspection and recovery of items related to this matter and will respond with all available forces in the event of an emergency. Discussion and sharing of all information related to this incident is ongoing at the Site-17 Emergency Reference Facility. As soon as new information is identified, members of the Tactical Operations Command will be urgently notified and the evaluation criteria will be applied to reassess the site. A final review is underway of the following comprehensive events that have been identified at this time
- Verification in retrospectively constructed historical discrepancies
- Recovery of testimonials and accurate records in the approved project AUTOMATOS
- Research of fragmented records that exist in facility alpha
After the final evaluation is completed, in cooperation with the RAISA archive team, secure preservation of the information and operational experimentation of the facility Alpha will begin. No non-essential experiments or verifications will be conducted unless some anomalies occur regarding the case. The space-time information community is currently investigating the immediate cause of the time anomaly and the parties involved. Prime-Timeline refers to the time line in which the underlying world, including yours, exists." A "time axis" refers to a dimensional structure with an element of time added to the three dimensional structure. Each age of is observed over a wide area to pursue the underlying influences that caused the current time anomaly. Necessarily - the community is a constant paradox.A paradox is a term that refers to a logical contradictory conclusion from premises and valid reasoning that appear to be correct. By way of illustration - if a generally accepted premise leads to an uncertain conclusion that contradicts that view - that is a paradox. In this report, however, it is also used to mean "causal violation" with an illustrative meaning. Ignore the event and neutralize the significant time anomalies involved in this case. Given the possibility of a hostile entity intervening within the Foundation, the Time Anomaly Department has access to the Foundation's control system. Suspects are immediately secured and sentenced by the Internal Appeals Department.

Collision experiment of real children by simultaneous execution of SCP-2566-JP-A, -B, -C.
Description: SCP-2566-JP is a unique weapon of the Foundation located in Site-17 Underground Facility-Alpha, built in 2005 in collaboration with the Time Anomaly Department and Site-17, and has been in operation under the direction of Project AUTOMATOS. SCP-2566-JP was capable of causing time anomalies and retroactively erasing information from a specific point . More precisely, it initializes information from a specific point and regresses all events without limit. . The relevant functionality was effectively utilized by the Foundation and was running without problems until some point on February 12, 2015. Project AUTOMATOS was a top-secret operation initiated in 2003 with the goal of correcting a massive time anomaly throughout the timeline. This weapon consists of an anomalous system that has been elucidated. The systems are as follows
- SCP-2566-JP-A: Ball-Scranton Omnibus Conceptual Mapping Unit (Ball-Scranton Omnibus Conceptual Mapping Unit). Possesses the ability to map the history of actions calculated from reverse causal events and control the information so that it does not deviate. It contributes to the initialization of information associated with the regression.
- SCP-2566-JP-B: Everett-Anastasakos Narativik Generating Unit (Everett-Anastasakos Narativik Generating Unit). With a fixed set concept, the foundation acquires unlimited paranormal theory and narrative compositional capabilities. It accommodates all stochastic deviant events and permanently erases discord.
- SCP-2566-JP-C: Brennan-Xyank Thaumonomicon Tactical Theology Unit (Brennan-Xyank Thaumonomicon Tactical Theology Unit). Reproduces existing naturalness and inhibits the interference of divine antagonists. The granted anti-meme nature makes the SCP-2566-JP-C unit itself permanently confidential.
SCP-2566-JP continues to operate, but is strictly destabilized, as these anomalies were identified at a certain point on February 12 - the relevant event has been tentatively defined as an OVERRUN event. Since SCP-2566-JP is no longer operational, the Time Anomalies Division and the Supervisory Council are looking into developing a replacement weapon for it. The catastrophic paradox event on the timeline that is occurring at this time is impeding this, and SCP-2566-JP's recovery and response is urgent. The statistical consensus previously secured by SCP-2566-JP has been severely disrupted and the veil is losing its normal function. SCP-2566-JP should be restored quickly - before any possible secondary incidents occur.
[New Comments]
Welcome to the RCT team, newcomer. Now that you have an overview of this device—and what do you think this is? Pseudo time traveling or unlimited opportunity? What you think is true is not objectively true. Your craving is not what is expected, and it is by no means the only theory. What is certain - is that this is the wrong way.

Addendum 2566-JP.I: Project AUTOMATOS

Prosper Langley, Superintendent.
The investigation of the principle reality alteration process began in 2003 when Superintendent Prosper Langley raised the original question. Superintendent Langley is now the Director of the Time Anomalies Division and at the time was a researcher at the headquarters site working in anomaly science. The original material raised in 2003 has been applied to the design and process of the fundamental machinery in the current Project AUTOMATOS, which is a project of the National Institute of Anomalies and Anomalies Science (NIAAS). The original material raised in 2003 has been applied to the design and process of the fundamental machines in the current project AUTOMATOS.
SCP-2566-JP is a pseudo-solution and application of this problem, and has been maintained as a unique weapon of the Foundation that contains dangers. SCP-2566-JP was a pseudo-solution and application of this problem, and at the same time, it has continued to be maintained as a unique weapon of the Foundation with inherent dangers. The process that triggered the record blanks has been proven and is now maintained as a core security clearance in the Time Anomalies Unit. SCP-2566-JP was developed by the Time Anomalies Department and Site-17, and later transferred to Site-17 as Project AUTOMATOS.
On May 11, 2005, SCP-2566-JP was declared operational based on the approval of the Supervisory Council and the Sub-Council; it remained operational until destabilization by an OVERRUN event occurred, and demonstration tests proved that SCP-2566-JP itself was clearly operational The demonstration proved that SCP-2566-JP itself was clearly working.

archived PROJECT AUTOMATOS Initial recommendations for accommodations associated with the first phase observations
Prosper Langley, SITE-17 2005/05/11 Awaiting final evaluation from SCPOVERCOM.
I. foreword
I. foreword "Anomaly is an umbrella term for any concept that is clearly defined as generally unusual/abnormal. It is most often used for material entities, and when used for simple objects - it has been the preferred term for entities that possess a highly heterogeneous appearance in terms of cognitive biases. Other than that - there is a very wide variety - and large number - of entities that fall under the broad concept, existence, theory, language, ideation, entropy, etc. Anomalies are accommodated by the Foundation and their reality has been studied for many years. Anomalies are now a part of reality, an aspect of the criteria that make up the consensus. Any possibility is involved in the emergence of an anomaly, and from the slightest possibility, an anomaly was born. But many people wonder - what is the origin of anomalies? Is it man-made, born out of nothing, a compound of matter, or - is it all of them as well? Theories that decoded elements such as time and space and substantiated them in an anomalous scientific way, have side by side lifted the paradox of the infinitely expanding anomaly. This document proposes those theories and final recommendations for the accommodation of the fundamental being - to determine the final assessment regarding the project AUTOMATOS. […]
II. Origin of Anomalies ![]() Distribution of time-structural uncertainties The vast majority of illustrative anomalies are entities that belong to the underlying timeline. As long as they do not deviate from themselves - equal legality should apply and it should be impossible for anyone to depart from the law of causality. Practically speaking, this is not ensured. Anomalies escape known causality and are elevated to deviant theories. What, then, elevates anomalies? Multiple possibilities are suggested, but most reasonably - determined to be due to an influx of external entropy. Entropy elevates anomalies. The reality of external entropy is indeterminate. But the problem is - the reality of external entropy is practical and logically determines that it can exist. The Time Anomalies Division has long been testing the reality of this singularity. This verification has confirmed the intervention of external entropy, which itself has been rediscovered as a "paradox". More precisely, it was a violation of the law of causality, whereby fragmented vulnerabilities in the timeline were thought to be driving the influx of entropy. 1 vulnerability has grown exponentially, now causing 100 - or more - causal violations. As the influx of causality pushes the vulnerability outward and increases the anomaly. We conclude that these timeline vulnerabilities are having a consequential impact. The "paradox" in this case refers to the larger dimensional collapse portion of the timeline where the microscopic vulnerabilities of the timeline described above come together. To put it simply - this is a broken glass window. Just as outside air flows in through the broken portion, outside dimensions flow out of the paradox. The external law eventually interferes with the existence of the base and provides deviant possibilities - this is the anomaly of many possible anomalies. This dimensional influx is finite - it is macroscopic and will be repaired over a longer period of time than we can imagine. The problem is that if there is an unlimited influx of outside dimensions - every being in the base could be filled with anomalous laws. The laws of the base will collapse, and everything will lose its proper place. To avoid the possibility of this happening, paradoxes should be quickly accommodated. As a corollary - accommodating paradoxes will prevent further anomalies from occurring. Pre-accommodation of anomalies is probably the most effective means of protecting human civilization!。 […]
III. Accommodation Proposal Vulnerabilities in the timeline are difficult to repair with existing methods, and the accommodation in AUTOMATOS was not aimed at a direct repair - but at a calming of the event. In a proven concept, the goal was to structurally remove the relevant scope by means of anti-paradoxical event blanking. In the project AUTOMATOS, several anomalous weapons were applied with the aim of effectively utilizing this concept. The resulting object that we decided to develop is currently designated SCP-2566-JP. In a vague concept, the objective is to correct paradoxical inconsistencies by means of a structural classification consisting of the following three parts. The following regular events are regularly operationalized by SCP-2566-JP and ultimately serve as a preaccommodation for broad anomalies.
Because SCP-2566-JP deviates from the known laws when triggering the above regular events, it encompasses the potential to form new anomalies that are exponentially more malignant. While catastrophic malignant entropy has the potential to collapse the timeline, the utility of SCP-2566-JP is considered to be more than that. All procedures will proceed under the direction of the Time Anomalies Division and the coordinated Site-17. Once approval by the Supervisory Council is finalized, the project will be officially operational. […] |

SCP-2566-JP: ACTIVATION-008 | ||||
target: Prime-Timeline, SCP-008Possible pandemic event by same individual Structure Details: A potential pandemic on the outskirts of Russia occurs on April 11, 2004 due to an unusual activation of SCP-008. The exogenous entropy increase and degeneration leads to the exposure of a widespread veil by non-anomalous means. |
||||
result: The Prime-Timeline was successfully initialized due to the retrospective event blanking; the SCP-008 event did not actually occur and the event progressed in a more precise form. No casualties occurred as a result of this event. |
||||
SCP-2566-JP: ACTIVATION-058 | ||||
target: Prime-Timeline, SCP-058 Deviating Violations Structure Details: A new anomaly will be assigned to the currently undefined slot number 058; deviation by 058 will cause severe destruction of the housing facility and $91,000 USD worth of damage to the Foundation. |
||||
result: With the event blanked out, deviations from 058 and the formation of new events were prevented. The anticipated violation did not occur and 058 remains undefined. No casualties have occurred as a result of this event. |

[New Comments]
Superintendent Langley was self-exuberant from the beginning of things - or everything. When predecessor vacated the seat for him, he felt the order established by his predecessor disintegrate. He was strangely fascinated - and considered them miracles. He was somewhat too selfish to exercise power in his foundation. His core was disturbed by evil. He tried to hide not everything he needed, but all the information he did not need. The nature of his obvious folly was proven by himself.
Anomalies are not all the paradoxes he describes. If the mere fragility of the timeline causes an influx of dimensions - where is its root, he said. He himself faced the problem, of course, but he denied the facts." Is your truth worth more than the facts?" he would surely answer, "No truth is worth less than the facts. As I said before - you must not look at him. You have a different path.

Addendum 2566-JP.II: OVERRUN Event
The OVERRUN event, which occurred on February 12, 2015, clearly resulted from an unusual activation of SCP-2566-JP. As mentioned above, the OVERRUN event is an umbrella term for the destabilization and significant anomaly of SCP-2566-JP.
DRYGIONI PROTOCOL |

freeze DRYGIONI PROTOCOL Verification of SCP-2566-JP2015/02/13 |
I. basic information: The uncertainty of the confirmed information and the certainty of its involvement with the OVERRUN event is likewise verified by reference to the fragmentary information in SCP-2566-JP. II. foreword: The DRYGIONI protocol provides evaluation criteria to validate the hazards of the SCP-2566-JP restoration efforts and to track down the root cause of the collapse of the OVERRUN event. All final evaluations and excerpts are dependent on current technical aspects and knowledge and should be constantly optimized technically through long-term observations and accommodations. A secondary goal of the DRYGIONI protocol is - final verification of the multiple problems identified in the facility alpha. Many of the pertinent records are causing inaccurate discrepancies and should be reviewed for more appropriate targets of investigation as well as reaffirming their hazardous nature. |
ITEMS OF INTEREST |
SCP-2566-JP itself is a paranormal weapon whose construction was clearly completed as of 2005. The SCP-2566-JP itself was a weapon that applied the inherent disaster of the anti-meme nature, roughly anti-meme nature, to retroactively destroy information that existed within a specific time period from all points. The nature of SCP-2566-JP, while extremely useful - the state of affairs since the OVERRUN event has ensured that it is impossible to fully recover all information. |
Shortly after the OVERRUN event in question, symptoms of severe dissociative amnesia were identified in some of the personnel engaged in the research and execution of SCP-2566-JP. The memory state of the parties involved - clear blank periods of a few tens of seconds, with fragmentary or complete loss of memory. The state of the parties and their surroundings is not limited to this, with clear loss of recordings in the tens of seconds immediately prior to the OVERRUN event. The state cannot be consciously recalled, yet the lost information continues to affect subsequent states. The following is a list of personnel who were present at the time of the routine audit of SCP-2566-JP.
The above 4 employees are the subject of an investigation at this time. |
The recommended design of SCP-2566-JP. The OVERRUN event itself is believed to be a complication of the paradox event due to misuse of SCP-2566-JP, which suggests that an abnormal element was recorded in the previous attempt record, and that the paradox event repair may not have been fully and properly completed due to some factor. The repair of the paradox event may not have been completed completely and properly due to some factor. The information recovered from the interface indicates a surplus of incorporated biological 4 entities, and information saturation may have made recovery of the phenomenon more difficult. It is believed that the causative element is still present - the most effective means to break the status quo is to exclude this element from the consensual reality. The data storage at SCP-2566-JP contains integrated information about the material world learned on a global scale. The data mapping by the computing nodes is classified into the protist world (Protist), the plant world (Plantae), and the animal world (Animalia), and the unique equations subdivide the physical environment. The illustrative concepts described below are subjective elements required for formal modification of SCP-2566-JP.
When fragments deviate from these exemplars - or intervene with contradiction-dependent information - it is believed that cosmic-scale immobility may be shaken, potentially triggering inconsistencies in the record. The dozens of seconds of recordings immediately preceding the event are blanked out, making the causal investigation more difficult; it has been suggested that SCP-2566-JP may have relied on certain vital information, but if such an assumption were true - after 10 years of continuous operation of SCP- 2566-JP's reality becomes essentially unprovable; the effective suppression of SCP-2566-JP is now considered a highly uncertain factor due to the OVERRUN event. |
III. Addendum: If several items are identified by the results of the final verification, or if revisions to the accommodation procedures are deemed necessary - they will be promptly utilized in the operational policy under the response of the lower council. The relevant verification records have requested further investigation, and the Response Team will be responsible for investigating as much as possible at this time. |
[New Comments]
The darkness that had been advancing with greed had finally touched the light. Superintendent Place was also one who was consumed by his own research. If it were true, he would still be wandering now, the roar of 2566-JP long lost in time, but those who suffered pushed it up again. This was the moment when we were informed that our plan was wrong. The overture to happiness had been distorted by our own hands. Imaginary science is powerful, but its effective scope remains on their desks. The prototype aspect tormented and undermined them intermittently. People's "deaths" were the most potent symbols - and created shadows. There were many possibilities for Place, but his choices denied the establishment a mixed bag. His will was certain. His pattern of basal iterations led him to his own undoing.

Addendum 2566-JP.III: alleging a crime
It has been confirmed that a series of strange phenomena were occurring at Facility Alpha immediately following or just prior to the OVERRUN event. The exact record of the phenomena described below may have been retrospectively altered, and very limited interactions have been identified as being present.
11:08:01 Some of the pipes that were present inside the SCP-2566-JP housing cell vibrate unnaturally. |
11:08:22 Dr. Xyank's operation moves SCP-2566-JP to the active state. Fragmentary records indicate that a paradox event occurs at the relevant time, but nothing actually occurs. |
11:08:25 An unknown factor forces the radio placed in the room to shut down. |
11:08:31 Dr. Xyank, who was assisting with operations, has been reprimanded by Vacuity and The Void does not respond to any environment. |
11:08:34 A spatial paradox initiates the influx of external entropy and the formation of an anomalous presence. The anomaly that occurred this time is considered to be a gravitational anomaly - the presumed matter was also observable inside the facility Alpha. At this point, some small objects in the room begin to float in the air. |
11:08:40 Superintendent Genevieve notices the anomaly and demands that Dr. Xyank stop the process. But in fact, Dr. Xyank has already moved to another location, and Administrator Genevieve is conversing with The Void. |
11:08:56 The voice of Superintendent Anastasakos echoes through the room. The source of the sound cannot be identified. Dr. Xyank responds to this, but he himself is rigid at a specific point. The Void is responding to this. |
11:09:11 Dr. Xyank and Administrator Genevieve leave, but 4 people are operating all equipment systems to stop SCP-2566-JP. Larger items in the room begin to float, but 4 peopleare steadfast. |
11:09:20 A very small shock wave is generated. This damages many items in the facility, but at the point of glass shards scattering and bulky items collapsing - partially due to unknown factors bloodstains appear. Simultaneously, screams echo through the area and eventually subside. |
11:09:25 The 4 people in the room notice the anomaly, but act as if they are "witnessing for the first time" the phenomenon that has previously occurred. The alarm in the room goes off, and the mobile unit personnel are rushing to the scene. Each person is giving instructions. SCP-2566-JP begins to become unusually active. |
The following is an excerpt from an incident report related to this.
Date: 12/02/2005 archivist: Dr. Placeholder McDoctorate. consultant: Dr. Thaddeus Xyank. |
Detailed Report: Dr. Thaddeus Xyank was in charge of managing SCP-2566-JP operations at Facility Alpha. The history of the actions of the administrator and three others immediately prior to the OVERRUN event indicates that it was itself encompassed by a minor physical anomaly. When Dr. Xyank clearly understood the events in question, he realized that his own actions at that time had been retroactively erased by SCP-2566-JP. The history of the original four individuals' actions - each of whom could not be clearly mentioned - triggered a blanking of their memories during that period. The eventual paradox of retrogression, resulting in malignant entropy and temporal anomalies, still exists as a serious threat to the entire timeline. This indicates that the series of restorations brought about by SCP-2566-JP is incomplete, and suggests that some of the erased information is at odds. The fragmentary information of the facility alpha can be explored for the blanked out period of time without being affected by the paradox in the form of a counter-concept with narrative elements type of thought system. Restarting the project for the purpose of clearing all incidents must continue until the final paradox correction is complete. |

note: The said video transcription is a transcript of a meeting held by the six main members - for the purpose of deliberating on the results of the project AUTOMATOS and for the final evaluation.
<Begin Transcript>
Dr. Xyank: — I'm sure you've checked it many times, Superintendent. There was nothing wrong with the subroutine I ran, although I'm sure there were anomalies elsewhere, not in the underlying system of SCP-2566-JP.
Superintendent Langley: I'm just now remembering. I don't mean to put all the blame on you. It's just that this idea - Jesus, it's just plain weird. Place, is this what your manual calls a "counter-conceptual system of thought that includes narrative elements"?
Placeholder Management Officer: Yes, I agree. To avoid the time anomaly - not so, thinking from the negative view avoids the nomenclatural contradiction. I remember the manual explaining this verbally as well, but do you remember?
Superintendent Langley: Who do you think forced me to take memory enhancers when you know I have no tolerance for drugs? Thanks to you, I heard you were holed up in the bathroom for two hours.
Superintendent Anastasakos: So you can afford to chat?
<Silence.>
Superintendent Langley: Dear Athena, we are all exhausted, all of us. I know you want to progress the discussion seriously, but nothing progresses if you tackle it from a skeptical viewpoint.
Superintendent Anastasakos: With all due respect - time is literally limited. Are you unaware of any unusual circumstances that are familiar to you? Superintendent Langley, I know you've encountered minor accommodation violations in the time you've been here.
Superintendent Langley: It happens here all the time.
Superintendent Genevieve: This is an exclusionary site, a vacuum that doesn't accept any kind of mystery, not a world where anomalies abound, where less than a one in a hundred chance of actually happening is a real possibility. Isn't that what we were supposed to be discussing?
<Silence.>
Superintendent Langley: (intermittently) - Okay, sorry. — Xyank, how's your analysis of the void coming along?
Dr. Xyank: To put it succinctly - the void is ourselves. It is a silhouette of our action routine - which was supposed to exist in the original timeline. What you see in the image is a false image of us, which was not originally there. Observed on a cosmic scale, it suggests that only the behavior of the four of us clearly mattered. As a result - the record that should have been there was erased and another pattern was substituted to "make up" for the probabilistically possible pattern.
Placeholder Management Officer: What is the behavioral problem?
Dr. Xyank: We do not understand it clearly. As we know, there are blank periods in our memories, which may be attributed to the retroactive erasure of existing actions. However - we can make some assumptions based on some of the physical evidence at the scene. The bloodstains remaining at the scene have been DNA tested and confirmed as belonging to Superintendent Athena and Superintendent Langley. Ring any bells?
Superintendent Anastasakos: No, I am not.
Superintendent Langley: Not now - but suppose the action routine had been obliterated and I was in fact injured there?
Dr. Xyank: The possibility cannot be ruled out.
Placeholder Management Officer: Well, assuming that SCP-2566-JP can rewind any information back to a specific time, is it really possible to accurately rollback process every event? I think - it violates the law of entropy.
Dr. Xyank: You are right, and indeed SCP-2566-JP was not thought to have such a feature - until now. Anomalies are always uncertain. If the assumption is true, then SCP-2566-JP is in fact - rewinding all events. And that is a violation of the law of entropy.
Dr. Waibler: Wait - all? Do you mean that literally?
Dr. Xyank: I don't think it is strictly true. In matter with mathematical continuity it would be possible, and the subatomic particles prove it. But - in existence without mathematical continuity, the theory is different. Destroying the information of material existence creates a contradiction because mathematical continuity is not guaranteed. This is a paradox, as we know, and an actual event in the OVERRUN event. And the most notable problem is that when the alteration occurs with or without fundamental intelligence - it is sure to cause serious paradoxes.
Dr. Waibler: Intelligence or not- if that's what you mean by biology, you mean life and death information.
Superintendent Langley: Uh, wait a minute. What do you mean?
Dr. Xyank: If the very hypothesis is true, and the four of us had died just before the OVERRUN event - in the world restored by SCP-2566-JP, the biological information of the four of us would be contradicted, because from SCP-2566-JP's point of view, the four of us would originally be perceived as being alive. From SCP-2566-JP's point of view, the world is built on contradictory premises. The world contains a paradox because it was built on contradictory premises. We are considered to have already died at that moment.
<Silence.>
Superintendent Langley: What are the specific measures?
Dr. Xyank: In order for the restoration of SCP-2566-JP by iteration to take place, all the complex contradictions of the current situation must be resolved. The fundamental and effective solution - is for the contradictory entity, i.e. the four of us, to die again.

note: A tentative housing plan is underway to fully accommodate SCP-2566-JP.
[New Comments]
This was not the first time the Foundation had examined the paradox. At least we had a vague understanding of what the root of the anomaly was, and only recognized that there was something macroscopic. Half the people shuddered and called them anomalies. The other half was fascinated by them and assumed they were mysteries of the gods. The important question is whether they perceived them as a threat. Many of the foundations recognized the shivering mysteries, explored all possibilities, and held the balance. The balance was fragile - we were safe under a flimsy veil until they were shattered from within. Great causes exist for assured loyalty and for order. When they broke order, what was it they were following?

ARCHIVE 2/2
Tactical Counter Protocol: For the purpose of suppressing the continued critical condition of SCP-2566-JP, outside interference using any tactical weaponry will be tolerated. Members of Task Force Yew-3 ("Dead Man's Dream") are instructed to search for surviving intelligent beings via the international database. Task Force Yew-1 ("Diabolos") is responsible for the safety of all personnel involved in this matter and is required to report any anomalies to higher authorities. A final verification is underway for the following comprehensive events that have been identified at this time
- Final Evaluation in Project AUTOMATOS
- Research of fragmented records that exist in facility alpha
The following persons need to be destroyed quickly and reliably
- Superintendent Athena Anastasakos
- Superintendent Prosper Langley
- Dr. Waibler Davis
- Superintendent Placeholder McDoctorate
It is anticipated that SCP-2566-JP's continued prompt criticality will exceed the facility's endurance and allow up to 10 days for a complete core meltdown to bring the system down. Project AUTOMATOS personnel must recover the SCP-2566-JP system as soon as possible.
SCP-2566-JP.
Description: SCP-2566-JP is the final result of Project AUTOMATOS and is an advanced paranormal weapon in the possession of the Foundation; SCP-2566-JP was operating normally until the OVERRUN event caused SCP-2566-JP to go into immediate criticality. Currently SCP-2566-JP is an unlimited expansion cascade centered on Site-17 Facility Alpha. A term used to describe how many things arise in a chain or in stages. The regressive paradox caused by -like accommodation violations, SCP-2566-JP, has caused severe destruction of the physical environment and severe damage to the Foundation's system of control. Major malignant entropy continues to expand due to four human entities; since February 13, 2015, the individuals in question have begun to experience progressive memory loss due to paradox inhibition. The behavior of the individuals in question throughout the timeline has been abnormal and extremely severe anomalies have occurred in the surrounding environment. Due to basic countermeasures, the Affected Persons need to be secured quickly.

Dr. Xyank: As you may know, we are the only ones who understand the exact mechanism of SCP-2566-JP. And the more information that is destroyed by SCP-2566-JP - to the extent that it becomes a thing of the past in itself - the more reversibly compressed it becomes, making accurate regression impossible. You see, the information is being destroyed so drastically that the timeline is becoming more incomplete.
Dr. Waibler: I know, I know, but —
Superintendent Langley: Our death would mean that there would be no one left who could control SCP-2566-JP. All preliminary documents are incompletely verified and - moreover - you say we should easily die? I swear to you, that is impossible!
Superintendent Genevieve: Please remain calm. You should calmly consider what to do in the current situation.
Dr. Xyank: That's right. Essentially, our mortality is not meaningful, because the truth is not accurate.
Placeholder Management Officer: — I've been wondering, was the overrun event itself caused by the discrepancy in the life/death information, SCP-2566-JP has been in operation intermittently and for a long period of time so far. SCP-2566-JP has been in operation intermittently for a long period of time, and it is not surprising that similar incidents have occurred in that context.
Superintendent Genevieve: It's the most reasonable idea, and indeed it is. But the crucial difference is - those people are probably already dead.
Placeholder Management Officer: You think we've avoided a paradox?
Superintendent Genevieve: Yes, they can. Once they die of some cause, the paradox is avoided.
Dr. Xyank: For a truly puzzling reason - by that theory, SCP-2566-JP could have been in a critical state, intermittently, until now - just not actually recorded. Reluctantly, it would be logical - for SCP-2566-JP - that the organism would certainly die. But as a serious matter - the situation is likely to be different this time. As a matter of fact, the operation just prior to the overrun event accommodated a paradox of unprecedented scale . An extremely deadly, unacceptable collapse phenomenon. It could even amount to a catastrophic K-class scenario in itself.
Dr. Waibler: Currently confirmed - SCP-2566-JP's immediate critical condition depends on it, right? Then it must be repaired —
Superintendent Genevieve: That is the problem. Due to a complicating paradox, we don't even know "what exactly" is affected: the critical state of SCP-2566-JP depends on our life/death information, and any attempt to fix it is impossible as long as the inconsistency exists.
Superintendent Langley: Hi - I have one thought. What about destroying SCP-2566-JP in a world where paradoxes are magnified and incomplete? Technically, it is the SCP-2566-JP itself that is causing the paradox event, because it is the SCP-2566-JP itself that contains the time anomaly.
Dr. Xyank: What - are you out of your mind, SCP-2566-JP is the only one that understands the paradox event correctly and contains the mechanism that has the means to reliably repair it. If we destroy it, the possible global paradox event will continue to escalate - eventually collapsing the timeline itself. Then nothing can be rebuilt.
Dr. Waibler: Rebuild - wait, what? Isn't the basic premise of this timeline itself a complete repair?
Dr. Xyank: What is the "itself"?
Dr. Waibler: (dismayed) - ourselves. When we fully restore our biological information - didn't you say so?
Dr. Xyank: There was no need to ask, and it would have been obviousto do so if they knew.
Dr. Waibler: When did I - when did I - pledge my life to this project? If you wanted a genuine contribution, you shouldn't have hidden it.
Superintendent Anastasakos: Chill out, Waveler. You too, Xyank, Langley. You know there is no way out for us. All we can do now is protect reality. Even if the probabilistically reconstructed timeline is a completely different entity - it's not a defeat, it should be. We don't get to conclude the outcome, do we? We who have developed the means to restore reality - now is the time to do it.
<Silence.>
Dr. Waibler: Jesus……
Dr. Xyank: The function of SCP-2566-JP is to reconstruct the erased timeline by referencing the information in the erased timeline. Erasing all events and reassembling a disjointed world - that is SCP-2566-JP, intermittently destroying everything in order to contain one anomalous singularity.
Dr. Waibler: That - in essence, you are forcibly removing bugs from a finite timeline? So many people at the Foundation don't know that - they just keep erasing records of violations, only to realize that something terrible is going on?
Superintendent Anastasakos: Slightly, not quite. It restores and reconstructs everything, even when it is inherently unavoidable. It is a theory to alter a finite timeline into a virtually constant existence, and - to protect normalcy forever. Rather than abandoning all hope - rather than sacrificing so many lives in a futile war - I think the unlimited sacrifice of people is even better.
<Silence.>
Dr. Waibler: — Do we need to die?
Superintendent Genevieve: Perhaps. But resolving inconsistencies abruptly is not necessarily the whole solution. That's why we need to create backups. Create branches to parallel timelines to maintain a minimum of maintainability.
Placeholder Management Officer: But - can you wait - it is uncertain how long SCP-2566-JP will retain its status. Shouldn't we build a repair system and resolve the discrepancies first?
Superintendent Langley: Place - Do you understand the situation? And do you understand that you're going to die too?
Placeholder Management Officer: Do we need to drag out the discussion?
Superintendent Langley: It's — okay, suit yourself. But I can't tolerate it.
Placeholder Management Officer: Do as you please. Eventually you will follow the same path.
Superintendent Anastasakos: Respect both sides. Create branches whenever possible and resolve inconsistencies first. Reasonable, isn't it?
Dr. Waibler: — Yes, yes. Let's go with that. Our aspirations are the same.

OPERATION DISASTER |

unknown OPERATION DISASTER 2015/02/13 |
I. basic information: SCP-2566-JP and its paradox events, which are currently causing severe damage, are seriously affecting the Foundation's control system. Because it is considered a serious threat, the Foundation has defined its primary goal as the rapid suppression of the event. II. foreword: It is anticipated that the continued functionality of SCP-2566-JP will soon be impossible due to the critical condition on which it depends. For the purpose of full restoration throughout the timeline - the relevant paradox event must be completely subdued. |
Incident Report 2566-JP-1 |
Detailed Report: Operation Disaster was conducted by Site-17 under the direction of the Placeholder Administrator. The primary goal planned was to restore the SCP-2566-JP system, and - courtesy of Dr. Xyank - resulted in the successful development of an informational matching SCP-2566-JP prototype.On February 20, 2015, the prototype was finally rebuilt at Site-17 and successfully SCP-2566-JP system for the purpose of restoring information from the system backup, except that SCP-2566-JP was temporarily reactivated - no anomalies occurred. On the same day, Dr. Placeholder was recalculating the expected paradox events in the Site-17 management system. The hope was that the timeline could be retroactively reconstructed by completely quashing the paradox events - and resolving the discrepancies - in the operational disaster. ![]() before one's death Superintendent Placeholder McDoctorate. On the same day, the Site-17 information officer observed global network connectivity failures, satellite information glitches, and signs of scattered anomalous activity. This was suspicious to the personnel and they attempted to communicate with each site, but communication was not possible at all of the fragmented sites except for some areas of Site-17. The effects of the ZK-class scenario also occurred at the core facility at Site-17. class scenario caused serious damage to some of the administrative facilities and the death of some of the administrative staff. The situation was made more serious by the unexpected death of the placeholder manager, who was among the staff in charge. The SCP-2566-JP prototype was activated endlessly by the loss of control and finally collapsed at 23:00. The Project AUTOMATOS team had largely lost its assets, and there was no time left to build a spare function at this point. The team inevitably needed to restore the SCP-2566-JP system - to reactivate its only remaining function. The company had to restore the SCP-2566-JP as quickly as possible.
The Superintendent Placeholder had told me in advance that "everything is logically uncertain. As a matter of fact, I did not believe that statement. I didn't believe him, because all factors can be calculated probabilistically. — and thus, after witnessing the death of the superintendent, I finally understood the truth of his words. Although the superintendent did not have to die, his death contributed to the calculation of the fundamental laws of the timeline. Fundamentally, the timeline attempts to obliterate contradictory concepts. In this case, it was urging the natural erasure of the reality of the four of us - as the four of us are real in a contradictory state. I noticed that. The world has become more curved and nested, twisted around the singularity of SCP-2566-JP. The paradox is irreparable and the world is inevitably collapsing under its gravitational pull. Timelines are uncertain and every cause and effect is hostile to contradiction. To escape this paradox, we need to reactivate SCP-2566-JP. Recurrent retroactive SCP-2566-JP events with restorative effects will retroactively reconstruct this world. I can only hope that the most recent paradox event does not occur before the remaining functions are reactivated - there is no time. Whatever ultimately happens, I will do my best. Waibler Davis

Incident Report 2566-JP-2 |
Date: 2015/02/21 archivist: [Data restored] |
Detailed Report: On February 21, 2015, an urgent validation was performed by the Project AUTOMATOS team and an emergency remediation of SCP-2566-JP was implemented. The incidents in question occurred shortly after, resulting in multiple unnatural deviating events and simultaneous staff fatalities. The successive incidents resulted in limited fatalities and the destruction of SCP-2566-JP, which cannot be ruled out probabilistically - but by a strange coincidence. |
11:08:01: Some of the pipes present inside the SCP-2566-JP housing cell vibrate due to the normal operation of the system. |
11:08:22: Dr. Xyank's operation moves SCP-2566-JP to the active state. |
11:08:25: The radios in the room are forcibly shut down by Control Officer Genevieve. |
11:08:31: Dr. Xyank is reprimanded by Superintendent Athena Anastasakos. |
11:08:34: The time-structure paradox initiates the influx of external entropy and the formation of an anomalous presence. The anomaly that occurred this time is considered to be a gravitational anomaly - the presumed matter was also observable within the facility Alpha. At this point, some small objects in the room begin to float in the air. |
11:08:40: Superintendent Langley, noticing something unusual, demands that Dr. Xyank stop the process. |
11:08:56: Superintendent Anastasakos' voice echoes through the room. Dr. Xyank responds, but is drowned out by the echoes. |
11:09:11: Dr. Xyank and Superintendent Genevieve leave, but the four of them operate all equipment systems to keep SCP-2566-JP in continuous operation. Larger items in the room begin to float. |
11:09:20: A very small shock wave is generated. This damages many items in the facility, but four people who were at the point where glass fragments are scattered and bulky items collapse are killed instantly. At the same time, screams echo through the building and eventually subside. |
11:09:25: SCP-2566-JP begins to activate normally. All components are restored. |
The SCP-2566-JP system, severely damaged by an unexpected chain of violations, ceased functioning. The findings of the Time Anomaly Section suggest that normal timelines were reconstructed as expected, but there was no way to actually verify them. By inference, the timeline regression was successfully executed, potentially resulting in the abandonment of the diverged timeline. It is hoped that this report will drift into the divergent timelines through the information community and that further research will proceed. All activity in the prime timeline will be suspended indefinitely and the maintenance of any events will be abandoned. |

Special Containment Procedures: Due to the reversible reproducibility of SCP-2566-JP is beneficial to the Foundation, SCP-2566-JP will always be classified as a Top Secret Anomaly; SCP-2566-JP will be housed at Site-17 Facility Alpha and will continue to be operated on a trial basis for anomaly research-expansion-stabilization purposes. Preliminary documents recovered will be retained for security purposes and distributed as needed. When access is made to slot number 2566-JP, preliminary documents will be forwarded upon request. Final control of this report will be assigned to the authority of the RCT Team-Δt, which operates on a fluid basis. The Time Anomalies Department is managed by the Supervisory Council (SCPOVERCOM) and is granted static access credentials and potentially legitimate authority. The Time Anomalies Department is covered as an anomalous organization disguised within the Foundation, and its actual status is kept completely confidential.
Description: SCP-2566-JP is a unique weapon of the Foundation located at Site-17 Underground Facility-Alpha, built in 2005 in collaboration with the Time Anomalies Department and Site-17, and has been in operation under the direction of Project AUTOMATOS. SCP-2566-JP's extensive modification capabilities allow for the retroactive reconstruction of reality and the retroactive destruction of specific information. The Foundation in the abandoned timeline was intermittently operating a weapon similar to SCP-2566-JP. Embedded in the regressive reconstruction, SCP-2566-JP continued to operate in the relevant timeline until the nature of SCP-2566-JP was consequently exposed. As a result, it is believed that SCP-2566-JP was successful in completely eradicating all anomalous entities except for SCP-2566-JP. But at the same time - the intermittent operation of SCP-2566-JP had the risk of fatal timeline collapse due to its own inclusion in the paradox.
The Foundation in the current cycle is operating SCP-2566-JP under more effective conditions. The conditions as assumptions in the project AUTOMATOS under study are as follows
- Small-scale, low-threat paradox events that do not over-interfere with human civilization are completely ignored.
- The functions of SCP-2566-JP shall not be utilized for the purpose of erasing existing anomalies.
- In the event of an unavoidable and catastrophic event, SCP-2566-JP will focus on avoiding the event by taking full advantage of its capabilities.
The latest revision of Project AUTOMATOS follows a more stabilized SCP-2566-JP operational approach based on these assumptions: there is no need to actively operate SCP-2566-JP, and SCP-2566-JP is currently a low priority operation.
Date: 2015/02/16 (current cycle) Archivist: Superintendent Harlow Genevieve Note: The following is a brief statement by Dr. Genevieve regarding the SCP-2566-JP specific event. |
record: As a result of the investigation related to the catastrophic events in the relevant timeline, unnatural inconsistencies were identified in the information of those involved. Most notably, four staff members who were the root cause of the paradox event have already been killed in the line of duty. It is believed that the SCP-2566-JP retroactive paradox event was successfully liquidated and the SCP-2566-JP system returned to normal. Since the timeline is essentially a finite entity, the original SCP-2566-JP operational policy was fundamentally problematic. Without realizing it, the Foundation at the time continued to intermittently erase records of violations, creating only the perception among those who understood that something terrible was happening. The finite timeline continued to be reduced and ultimately collapsed. The point is that even regressive paradoxes are finite possibilities. Fragments cannot be put back together, and destroyed fragments cannot be repaired by themselves. Relying on anomalies and relying on uncertainty for the sake of a few extra dollars - is a departure from the fundamental consensus. We must always remember to be skeptical, while developing an understanding of anomalies as needed. Paradoxes are uncertain. If we can find an anomalous element in it - we should accommodate it. Statistical consensus must be immortal, just as ideals are absolute. Anomalies will continue to be accommodated. Singularities will be contained and restored as they should be - this is the way of regressive reality. |
[New Comments]
Timelines are uncertain. They are real and contain us because they are theories outside of human reason. Our recognition of it represents a breakdown of statistical theory - above all, a disruption of order. rct-Δt exists to preserve order - the team should always be faithful and not criminally contraindicated.
Placeholder McDoctorate, he has deviated from the law - and from the reverse of reason. The empty reality in which he wanders would be to hate his transgressions without limit. His deeds were not rational. One who was deprived of his name to the end, one who always hated his sins.
Athena Anastasakos, she was an ambitious researcher to the end. She was always rational and potentially fearful. She feared death more than anyone else, and she refused to sin until the very end. She will be judged forever - in an infinite time she hoped, in a void without recognition.
Waibler Davis, one who was imperfect as a cornerstone. He was emotional and would always be trapped in fear. his mind chained to the darkness, writhing in life until it rotted away. He waited for the day when his dreams would be rocked in a cradle and he would be told, "Blessed is the day. And here he sleeps and dies a peaceful death.
Prosper Langley, the original evil and the greatest contributor to the original evil. His callousness would have opened up the future and then left a great price to pay. The boundless vindictiveness that surrounded him would never forgive him again. He remained ever arrogant until he was surrounded by death and lost his climax at the end of his suffering.
Will you make mistakes? But the future is uncertain. You may take a different path, even though I have seen it through. Whatever you wish, I will never see you again. Hopefully - for the sake of our order - I wish you the best.
