current SCP-████ prototype iteration
Item #: SCP-███
Object Class: Thaumiel
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-███ is to be ██████ at the ███mary ███████ ████████ research facility located in ████████, ██████████. Knowledge of SCP-███'s existence must remain limited to ███████ ████████ members and the O5 council. SCP-███ is not to be activated without unanimous approval from the O5 council.
Description: SCP-███ is the designation for the most advanced prototype device yet developed by Project Metatron. Project Metatron was initiated in 19██ ██ an ████████ ██ the Foundation's Temporal Research Department, with the intention of developing a means to ███████████████ ███████ otherwise uncontainable keter-class █████████ from the space-time continuum.
Utilizing resources ██tained from ███████, ████████, and SCP-████, combined with ██ categorized anomalous █████ and theories crafted by Dr. ██████████ (see Foundation Research Journal ████ █ ████), a █████-time 'scalpel' was created, █████ ██ capable of partially ███████ physical objects and locations ████ █████-████.
Initial research concluded that ███████ █████ not be 100% effective. If a target were totally removed from space-████, █████ █████ never have been any reason to use SCP-███ on ████ target ██ ███ █████ █████, ████████ █ recursive paradoxical loop. Therefore, it was ██████████ ████, ██ order for SCP-███ to be able to fulfill its intended function, ████ evidence of the target's █████████ ████ always remain after its removal. As SCP-███ was primarily created to █████ physical anomalies, experimental ███████ ████████ █████████ procedures have been applied ██ ███████ ██ shift the probability vector of ███ █████ ███████ remnant towards information as opposed to p██sical evidence. In addition, simulations indicate a █████ likelihood that SCP-███ will erase itself along with its target, as well as ██████████ ███████ ██ ███████ ██████ ██ causal collateral damage. Research to fix these flaws is ongoing.
Addendum ███-1 on ██/██/██, O5-█ requested the deployment of SCP-███ for the purpose of neutralizing SCP-██3█.
Response from Project Metatron Site Director ███ █████:
Please, I beg of you to reconsider. ███, █ ██ fully aware of the threat posed by SCP-██3█, ██ Project Metatron is far from complete. ██ ███████ ███████ ██████ called for a '███████ scalpel', ███ ███ prototype ██ ████ ██ ████ akin to a sledgehammer. Imagine ██████ ███ ██ █ heavy pane of glass - █████ ██████ destroy the part you hit, ███ █████ also create a pattern of cracks ████ ████ █████ across the glass and compromise its overall structural integrity. ██ █ worst-case scenario, ███ ████ █████ █████ ██████ ██ the entire space-time continuum. ████ ██ ███ anomaly is successfully terminated, ██ can't predict who or what might be ██████ along with it, ███ ██ ███ ████████ instability of spacelike trajectories ███████ of local light cones. ███ ██████ Foundation might cease to exist, ███████████ pro███████ ██ other keter-level anomalies █████ ██ breached, history █████ ██ altered completely. ██ ███ ████ █████, ██ anticipate that large amounts of data ████ ██ deleted from the Foundation database, ████████ leading to irrecoverable loss of vital information █████████ SCP files. █████████ records, ████ ███ated and unrelated to Project Metatron and SCP-██3█, ████ ██████ ████ exist in a fragmentary state after ██████████. I must insist we ██ █████ ████ ████ ██ refine SCP-███ before initial deployment.
From 05-█ to Project Metatron Site Director ███ █████:
██ ██████ ██ have no more time. SCP-██3█ must be stopped if the human ████ ██ ██ survive. The 05 Council ███ █████ their unanimous approval - enact Procedure Metatron-13.
