SCP-9000: The Mirror of Events

Item #: SCP-9000

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-9000 is to be kept in a secure containment chamber measuring 5m x 5m x 5m. The chamber must be constructed of reinforced steel and equipped with soundproofing materials to minimize external disturbances. Access to SCP-9000 is restricted to Level 3 personnel and above. Under no circumstances should any personnel attempt to alter or interfere with the events shown in SCP-9000.

Description: SCP-9000 is an enigmatic mirror composed of an unknown, highly reflective material. Its dimensions measure approximately 1.5 meters in height and 1 meter in width. The frame of the mirror appears to be crafted from an ancient, corroded bronze, embellished with intricate carvings depicting various historical and future events. Despite extensive research and testing, the origin and composition of the reflective material remain elusive.

The primary anomalous property of SCP-9000 becomes evident when an individual gazes into the mirror's reflective surface. Upon doing so, the subject witnesses highly detailed and lifelike images of both past and future events that are intimately connected to their personal timeline. The chronological sequence of events displayed appears to follow the observer's natural progression through time.

The psychological effects of prolonged exposure to SCP-9000 can be profound. Subjects often become deeply fixated on the events depicted within the mirror, developing an intense desire to influence or alter the outcomes they have witnessed. It is crucial to note that any attempts by subjects to interact with the events shown have consistently resulted in unpredictable and, in some cases, disastrous consequences.

The Foundation has documented instances where subjects, driven by their desire to change a future event, inadvertently caused the very incidents they sought to prevent. Such actions can lead to temporal loops, paradoxes, and severe disruptions to the fabric of reality.

Current efforts to comprehend the extent of SCP-9000's abilities are ongoing, with researchers working diligently to discern the source of its temporal manipulation powers and the underlying principles governing its anomalous properties. The use of human subjects in testing is strictly prohibited due to ethical concerns surrounding the potential risks involved.

Addendum 9000-1: Incident Log 9000-A

On ██/██/████, Dr. █████, a Level 4 researcher, conducted an unauthorized test with SCP-9000, attempting to prevent a predicted catastrophic containment breach. Despite being fully aware of the potential dangers, Dr. █████ was determined to alter the future event revealed by the mirror. Subsequently, this unauthorized experiment triggered multiple reality-altering events within Site-██, culminating in an unforeseen temporal loop and the creation of an alternate timeline.

As a result of this incident, several personnel were reported missing, and significant damage was inflicted upon the site's facilities. Dr. █████'s current whereabouts remain unknown, with strong indications that he is now trapped within the temporal anomaly he inadvertently generated.

Lesson learned: Given the high-risk nature of SCP-9000 and the potential ramifications of temporal manipulation, all future tests require explicit approval from the Site Director and the Ethics Committee.

Note: Despite the inherent risks, SCP-9000 has proven invaluable in predicting potential containment breaches and anomalous occurrences. However, it is of utmost importance to adhere strictly to containment procedures and refrain from attempting to meddle with the course of events depicted within the mirror to ensure the safety of personnel and the integrity of reality.
