Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be placed in standard lead-plated containment safe at Site-23. The door is to remain securely locked at all times save for testing purposes.

All personnel assigned to work with SCP-XXXX are to be removed from duty immediately should they show any sign of the object’s effect. The vault is then to be examined for damage.

In the event of a containment breach, Site-23 is to be evacuated and all personnel to be examined for long-term damage due to the object's effects.

The object is only to be removed for testing purposes, and is only to be transported during its inactive phase.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a [REDACTED] brand wall clock, model number 73382-41-c with the word “SYNC” crudely scratched into the outside casing below the clock’s face. The object enters its active phase when the clock reads between 2:00pm and 3:00pm every day. Note that the object's mechanism to set the time is not functional, meaning that the object cannot be prevented from entering its active phase. Also note that the object functions even when the batteries powering the object are removed.

During SCP-XXXX’s active phase, the object randomly selects anywhere from one to twelve simple, commonly performed activities such as breathing or walking. As the phase progresses, said activities will gradually become synchronized with the ticking of SCP-XXXX's second hand. Typical intervals are either identical to or directly proportional to the tick.

Human or animal subjects exposed to the object experience a variety of effects, including:

  • Changes in heart rate, breath rate, and other regulated bodily functions, often resulting in death via hypoxia or organ failure
  • Uncomfortable sensations due to regulation of un-regulated bodily functions
  • Instant death due to effects at the atomic and sub-atomic level
  • Seizure or rapid brain deterioration
  • Subconscious influence to preform a repetitive avtion

Note that lead is the only material found thus far capable of negating SCP-XXXX’s effects, hence the plating on the inside of its containment cell. A specialized test chamber has also been constructed in which SCP-XXXX can be tested without exposing the rest of Site-23 to the object.
