Item #: SCP-2290

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2290-1 is to be stored in a standard humanoid containment cell, unless being tested. Two guards are to be stationed with SCP-2290-1 at all times. All personnel are to be screened for psychological health. Any with mental heath disorders of any kind are to be denied access. SCP-2290-1 is to be suspended So it will be unable to come into contact with any planes of any kind. Site ███ personnel and staff are to report any and all SCP-2290-2 activity to the site director. Security clearance of level 3 or higher is required to experiment with SCP-2290, pending approval from the site director. D-class are restricted from interacting with SCP-2290.

Description: SCP-2290-1 is a warped ram skull atop a wooden shaft. SCP-2290-1 is roughly 1 meter in height and 2.5 kilograms in weight. SCP-2290-1's skull is twisted into a crescent shape. The skull shows no apparent markings of any kind. The shaft has the ability to pass through any object that would be labeled as the floor or ground. Testing in SCP-███ has shown this anomalous behavior is affected by the gravity of a room and perception of the surrounding individuals as to what the "floor" is. This effect extends six decimeters down after which it will maintain an upright position with no further phasing.
SCP-2290-2 is a black robed humanoid with a glowing head lacking a face. SCP-2290-2 appears to be unable to move more then roughly 4 kilometers from SCP-2290-1. When SCP-2290-1 is anchored in a "floor" and one of three different events, henceforth labeled -A, -B, -C, occur within a radius of roughly 4 kilometers, SCP-2290-2 will appear to the subject. Reactions to SCP-2290-2 are as follows:

SCP-2290 Event-A: SCP-2290-2 will appear to subject offering a hand. Should subject take the hand, both will disappear in a bubble of black water. Subject will later appear in a location of importance to them. Most subjects report a feeling of peace after this event. This is the only known method for SCP-2290-2 to leave the boundaries of SCP-2290-1.
SCP-2290 Event-B: SCP-2290 Event-B only occurs at the death of a subject in SCP-2290-2's range. SCP-2290-2 will appear next to the subject, embracing them. All signs of pain will leave them and they will expire peacefully. It should be noted that not all deaths in SCP-2290-2's range trigger an Event-B. Research is ongoing to determine how this is triggered.
SCP-2290 Event -C: This event is the most varied of all. During Event -C, the only constant is the subject crying black tears, after which the tears become animate. It is not uncommon for apparent spacial transition to appear during Event-C. See Test 2290-2351. Chemical analysis of these tears shows a high concentration of charcoal contained within.
Test 2290-2343 - Date [REDACTED]

Subject: 24 year year old Caucasian, a known serial killer.
Procedure: Subject was placed in a room containing SCP-2290-1. Subject was instructed to approach the SCP-2290-1.
Results: Upon entering the 3 meter mark, subject feel to his knees and began crying until the vast majority of the test room floor was covered in black tears. As this continued, the tears started to form into female humanoid shapes appearing between 8 and 21 years of age. The shapes proceeded to surround the subject. The subject pleaded with the figures, begging them to spare his. As they descended upon him, subject spoke as if they were speaking back. Subject began sinking into the pool around his knees. Subject completely submerged within 2:30 from beginning of event. Tears evaporated as subject disappeared. No trace of the subject was found.
Analysis: SCP-2290-2 does not need to be present in an area for its anomalous effects to occur so long as the subjects are in the range of SCP-2290-1.

Test 2290 -3456 Date [REDACTED]

Subject: 36 year old Asian male, suffering from depression
Procedure: Subject was to approach 2290-1. Subject was equipped with a GPS tracker and a video camera.
Results: Upon coming within 12 meters of 2290-1, subject tripped. As subject was getting up SCP-2290-2 was seen reaching down its hand. Subject grabbed it without looking and both disappeared in a bubble of charcoal and water. Tracking device was found to still function, reporting subjects location in 2290-1. After an hour subjects location changed to a beach in [DATA EXPUNGED]. Video camera had all its battery drained. When questioned as to what had happened during Event, subject stated to have been taken on the tour of his life. After event, subject had fewer thoughts of suicide and a reduction in depression.
Analysis: Due to the possibility of a breach, Class D personal are barred from being housed within the facility.

Dr.██: I'm sure you are aware of standard questioning, so I will cut right to the chase. Why would you take the hand of a Euclid level threat?

Researcher ██████████: The offer was undeniable.

Dr.██: Offer?

Researcher ██████████: To understand, I understand all too well now. I failed. My goal was simple, advancement. SCP-2290 was an enigma. I wanted the credit of seeing through the mist. Or black water, whatever you'd like to call it.

Dr.██: So what did you find in the black water?

Researcher ██████████: I found my affliction. Within it is choice. It is the chemo. The chemo is as likely to kill you as the cancer is

Dr.██: ██████████, you are speaking in riddles. Give me a straight answer!

Researcher ██████████: Go to it yourself. It is the only way for you to see.

How Long Must I Run.

Faster and faster, I hear the echos of death behind me. The endless descending patterns of my own folly. I just wanted to save them. Just save them, nothing more. Dogs, animals hunting me. Driving me to the brink. Another Foundation manhunt. I can hear the echoing footfalls coming to me. Once upon a time each of those sounds meant something else. A friend sneaking up on you, a break through with understanding, a containment breach. Now, It all only means one thing, death or worse.

A world like this would drive you to madness. Parting the veil, but instead of your beautiful bride to be, a monster. Only three years ago I could sit at the kitchen table without imaging it swallowing me whole.

How much did I give to them? How much did they demand? They burned away all the comforting lies, dispelled all the simple truths. I've watched the walls twist and bended to impossible shapes, swallowed by darkness. Torn to shreds in my dreams. I never leave my feet out at night. Burned all away until all that was left was fear. Simple, primal fear.

I gave all of this to them to keep the horrors locked away. to keep the devil from knocking down all the world's doors. None of it was enough. Nothing is ever enough.

I grabbed the blade to bring them back. Let the slayer suffer and die. Use it to open the gate to bring someone from the brink. Yes, I breached containment to do so and, yes, I slew a SCP. After all they did for them, after all we did for them, they owed us that much.

They want it all. All I am. I just wanted to save them. How can I be blamed?

I sorry, but you know what must be done.

There is no hiding.
