[Delta-7 Scatters outwards from where 
SCP-3700-1 submerged. All 13 destroyers 
reach their positions and fire their harpoons, 
which embed in the entity's head. SCP-3700-2 
emits a second vocalization and becomes 
agitated, as its lower body begins to spin, 


generating the characteristic whirlpool at its 
base. Cruisers reach their positions and open 
fire with L-cannons and conventional 
weaponry, drawing SCP-3700-2's attention. 
Destroyers begin moving at top speed, 
drawing the harpoon lines taut and dragging 
the entity's head in a continuous 360 degree 
loop. Battleships reach their designated 
positions and charge their cannons. ] 


SCPS Mither: "Fire barrage on my mark. 3... 
2...1...Fire!" 


[The first broadside barrage from the 
battleships collides with SCP-3700-2, causing 
it to wail. SCP-3700-2 begins emitting grunting 
vocalizations, before regurgitating an 
SCP-3456 entity into the water below. The 
instance begins moving towards the line of 
destroyers in excess of 50 km/hr, despite a 
lack of aquatic anatomical features.] 


SCPS Selkie: "CENTAUR in the water! 
Headed straight towards us!" 


SCPS Mither: "Selkie, switch targets to 
CENTAUR #1, engage with all weaponry." 


[The SCP-3456 instance closes the gap 
between it and the SCPS-Selkie before the 
vessel can retarget its weaponry. ] 


SCPS Selkie: "It's too close!" 


[The Selkie is briefly lifted from the water by 
the instance, and it can be seen reaching 
towards crew members who are clinging to the 
railing and their weapon emplacements. 
SCP-3700-2 is briefly relieved by this action, 
allowing it to orient itself and release a stream 
of blue fire which impacts the SCPS-Stronsay 


Beast.] 


[An audible crack is heard, as the Selkie is 
released, and the SCP-3456 entity wails. 
SCP-3700-1 surfaces, and strikes the entity 
with its club like appendages once, twice, and 
three times, each resulting in loud cracks. The 
SCP-3456 instance is torn in half by the third 
strike, sending its human torso flying through 
the air, before landing just beyond the SCPS- 
Mither. The Selkie returns to full steam, 
drawing the line taut and pulling SCP-3700-2 
out of its orientation. The Stronsay Beast has 
suffered moderate damage due to the fire, and 
is visibly smoking near its engine 
compartments. | 


[SCP-3700-1 is seen lifting several crew 
members, from the Selkie, who were displaced 
into the ocean, and places them safely aboard 
another destroyer as it passes. The entity curls 
its tail down below it, leaving only its crescent 
segment visible above the water and turns 
towards SCP-3700-2. SCP-3700-1 moves 
toward the edge of the whirlpool, two of its 
eyes beginning to emit luminescence. 
SCP-3700-2 is beginning to show signs of 
moderate damage due to the L-cannon 
barrages. Several SCP-3456 instances can be 
seen in the surrounding waters, and are being 
kept at bay by smaller support craft.] 


SCPS Mither: "Brace for the killing blow!" 


[SCP-3700-1 emits several concentrated 
blasts of gamma radiation, carving several 
large holes in SCP-3700-2. SCP-3700-2 wails, 
and begins flailing violently. Its motions 
manage to snap all of the destroyer's harpoon 
lines, and creates several large waves which 
push all present vessels backwards. The 


entity's barbed tail snakes from below 
SCP-3700-1 and impales it in its midsection 
and then lifts it clear of the water. SCP-3700-1 
strikes at the tail with its club like appendages, 
attempting to free itself several times, before 
all movement stops. SCP-3700-2 flings the 
entity past Delta-7 where it plunges beneath 
the ocean surface and does not reemerge.] 


SCPS Mither: "HOMER is down, HOMER is 
down, all ships pull out and regroup for 
implementation of protocol Tumult." 


[All Delta-7 vessels turn and begin moving in 
the opposite direction of SCP-3700-2. The 
SCPS-Stronsay Beast has visibly slowed, 
sputtering smoke, before coming to a complete 
halt. SCP-3700-2 has begun expanding its 
whirlpool, and the sea has become extremely 
turbulent, as its flails have ceased. It emits a 
loud vocalization, and turns towards the fleeing 
vessels, before spotting the Stronsay Beast.] 


SCPS Mither: "Stronsay Beast, get out of 
there now!" 


SCPS Stronsay Beast: "We can't move! Our 
engines are shot!" 


[The Stronsay Beast is caught in the whirlpool, 
and drifts towards SCP-3700-2. A tentacle 
rises from beneath the surface, and wraps 
around the damaged vessel. SCP-3700-2 
opens its mouth, preparing to consume the 
destroyer. SCP-3700-1 leaps from beneath the 
surface as SCP-3700-2's jaws begin to close, 
managing to strike and sever the tentacle 
gripping the Stronsay Beast, then weakly 
attempting to strike it, sending the damaged 
destroyer just beyond the whirlpools edge.] 


[SCP-3700-2 emits another vocalization, jaws 
clamping down on top of SCP-3700-1. Several 
bright flashes of light are visible, and 
SCP-3700-2 roars in pain, thrashing as its 
lower half stops spinning, and its tentacles 
come up from beneath the waves, and begin 
tearing SCP-3700-1's legs from its abdomen. 
SCP-3700-2 tentacles stop moving, anda 
rapid succession of muffled cracks can be 
heard. SCP-3700-2's lower jaw is severed, 
dropping SCP-3700-1 into the water. 
SCP-3700-2 begins flailing, its movements 
growing weaker before it releases one final 
stream of fire onto SCP-3700-1 in the water. 
Delta-7 stops steaming in the other direction, 
and patiently waits for signs of a victor; 
however, after 5 minutes neither entity is seen 
moving. ] 


[Delta-7 makes its way back towards the site 
of the clash, where they found neither entity 
moving or alive. Both entities dissolved shortly 
after Delta-7 reached their position, a single 
round object was seen, by multiple crew 
members aboard the Stronsay Beast, sinking 
beneath the surface where SCP-3700-1 had 
been. At this time, it was noted that the wall 
clouds had dispersed into standard 
cumulonimbus clouds, although surface 
conditions remained turbulent.] 


SCPS Mither: "This is Delta-7 to Command." 
Command: "We read you Delta-7." 

SCPS Mither: "We have a bit of a situation." 
Command: "Go ahead Delta-7." 


SCPS Mither: "SCP-3700-1 and 2 are both 
down." 


[10 seconds of radio silence.] 
Command: "Please repeat Delta-7." 


SCPS Mither: "SCP-3700-1 and 2 are both 
down." 


Command: "Stand by." 
[Approximately three minutes of radio silence.] 


Command: "Are either entities' effects active 
Delta-7?" 


SCPS Mither: "Negative command." 


Command: "Is there any trace of either 
entity?" 


SCPS Mither: "Also negative." 


Command: [Anxiously] "It appears the 
anomaly has been neutralized. Delta-7 is to 
return to base for debrief following any 
recovery efforts." 


SCPS Mither: Understood command. 


[Approximately five minutes of radio silence 
occur as recovery efforts begin, and the 
Stronsay Beast is attached to tug boats.] 


SCPS Mither: "Command, we're picking up 
unusual levels of gamma radiation, anda 
sonar contact at a depth of 3 km. Requesting 
permission to deploy submersibles for 
exploration purposes?" 


[One minute of radio silence passes, wherein 
command is recorded to have deliberated a 
decision. ] 


Command: "Request denied. Return to base 
for debriefing.” 


[Delta-7 turns from the scene of the preceding 
battle, and begins steaming in the direction of 
its berth.] 


[During the next 5 minutes of recording, 
gamma radiation levels continued to increase. 
Ocean surface turbulence visibly worsen, and 
several smaller vessels are seen tossed by 
large waves. CCTV cameras on multiple 
vessels record the abrupt cessation of surface 
turbulence, and the appearance of four large, 
yellow orbs, 300 m from Delta-7's location, 
below the surface. The orbs linger for 
approximately 2 minutes, during which time 
significant seismic activity is reported within 
the area, before vanishing. Command notes 
the presence of the objects at this time, but 
does not inform Delta-7.] 


[Following the disappearance of these objects, 
Delta-7 detects a new sonar contact 5 km 
directly beneath the task force. Initial readings 
indicated some sort of metallic structure. ] 


SCPS Mither: "Command, we've lost the 
signal from the previous contact, and are no 
longer detecting gamma radiation. We're 
detecting a new contact, 5 km deep, large, and 
metallic." 


Command: "Stand by Delta-7." 


[Command discusses further action for 
approximately 3 minutes.] 


Command: "Delta-7, you are authorized to 
deploy submersibles for exploration purposes.

SCP-3701: All the Time in the World 


Item #: SCP-3701 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: When not in use, SCP-3701 is 
to be kept in the temporal anomaly storage unit at Site 221. At all 
times outside of storage, including during testing sessions, 
SCP-3701 is to have a large chrono hazard sticker placed on it, to 
prevent accidental misuse by staff confusing it for a simple kitchen 
timer. No tests are to be performed outside of the safe settings that 
have been designated, unless a level 4 researcher or higher has 
overruled the safety precautions. 


Description: SCP-3701 appears essentially identical to a standard 
1 hour kitchen timer. However, it is extremely resilient and to date, 
no amount of heat or pressure has been able to cause even 
superficial damage to the object. 


SCP-3701 was discovered inside of SCP-728 following a routine 
test. Initial experimentation on SCP-3701 revealed its anomalous 
temporal properties. 


When an individual holding the object sets and starts the timer, they 
immediately cease to exist in our timeline, and enter a separate, 
parallel timeline. The user will exist in this alternate timeline for the 
duration the timer has been set to, and will be enveloped in a 
temporal shield, preventing direct, indirect and quantum interaction 
with matter in the alternate timeline. 


Notably, the rate of time in this alternate timeline will move at an 
accelerated rate from the perspective of the individual in it. Testing 
has proved that the user will witness a duration of 10‘(n-1) hours of 
the alternate timeline, where n represents the setting in minutes on 
SCP-3701. For example, if the user sets the timer to 2 minutes, they 
will experience 2 minutes from their perspective, but will witness 10 


hours of time passing around them in the alternate timeline. 
Subjects have described this effect as being similar to "watching a 
movie in fast forward." 


With each additional elapsed minute from the perspective of the 
user, the rate of time in the alternate timeline increases by a factor 
of 10. This makes precise events of the far future essentially 
impossible to detect. 


Following test 3701-5, it was discovered that the temporal shield 
weakens significantly the instant before the user is returned to our 
timeline. This has led to restrictions of the settings that users may 
test on SCP-3701. 


When the timer reaches 0, the user is transported back to our 
timeline in the relative location they were in the alternate timeline. 
No chronic or acute effects have been recorded from using the 
device in the designated safe settings. 


Addendum 1: Regarding Chrono-Link 


Chrono-Link is the brainchild of Dr. William Atlas, created 
as a means of obtaining and transmitting information 
across alternate timelines. 


It's original iterations were built off of the temporal sinks 
designed and used in the now defunct Peregrine 
Mission. Recent advancements in quantum computing, 
and specifically the allocation of two Z-4 quantum 
supercomputers to Site 221 have allowed this technology 
to be properly tested. 


Chrono-Link uses advanced quantum tunneling models 
to accurately transmit and receive discrete data packets 
across timelines. However, this is still extremely 
computationally demanding, and therefore only simple 
messages can be transmitted back and forth, even when 
site 221 commits ~90% of it's computational power to the 
program. Hopefully, continued research with SCP-3701 
can further increase the foundations cross-temporal 
communication capabilities.

Results: Subject was instructed to go into the 
break room on site and make note of events 
that occur over the hour as best as he can. 
After setting the device to one minute and 
starting it, subject disappeared and was 
absent for one minute before reappearing in 
the break room. Subject was able to accurately 
point out where various individuals would sit 
for lunch and what they ate, despite having no 
prior knowledge.
