Dr. : Would you take the test again? More 
carefully, this time? These tests really are 
important. 


SCP-3175: Important to who? Not to me. 


Dr. : Important to understanding what’s 
happened to you. 


SCP-3175: You know what happened to me. 
I've told you what happened to me. 


remain in contact with the person who drew it longer than five 
seconds it will then begin to fade into an image in the same way a 
Polaroid develops. This image will be a crystal clear image from an 
event in the holder's past which thus far has always been 
immediately recognized by the holder. 


Once this photograph has been ‘developed' it will no longer fit into 
SCP-404-A no matter what effort is applied to it. This image will fit 
perfectly into the second envelope, SCP-404-B. An undeveloped 
photo will not fit into SCP-404-B. After a developed photo is placed 
inside of SCP-404-B the pages attached to the front of the envelope 
will update themselves with the name, date, time, and an 
incrementing number. If a person picks up SCP-404-B they 
immediately know which pages contain lines with their name, 
although they may not know the numbers. When they have viewed 
the numbers or if they already know the number, they are able to 
draw that photo out of SCP-404-B with only a few seconds of 
searching. 


The most disconcerting feature of SCP-404-B is that once the 
subject has left the presence of the envelopes for longer than an 
hour they forget interacting with either envelope as well as the 
memory imprinted on the photo. This effect lasts until the subjects 
re-enter the presence of SCP-404-A or -B at which time they regain 
their memory of having used the envelopes, but will not remember 
the event on the photograph until it is viewed again. Researchers 
who oversee the testing of SCP-404-A or -B but who do not interact 
with the contents of the envelope are capable of remembering both 
the test and the image to the best their natural memory allows. 


Document #404-1: - - : Subject is Class-D personnel who has 
been instructed to draw five photos from SCP-404-A. 


First Photo drawn contains an image of a young girlona 
tire swing being pushed from behind. Subject confirms 
that the girl is their younger sister at age six. 


Second photo drawn contains image of the same girl 
now older, nude, in a bedroom setting, laying on a bed 
and smiling, wagging finger at the viewer. Subject 
confirms once again this is their sister and is noted 


Dr. : You've told me, yes. But we’re trying 
to understand it. 


SCP-3175: What’s to understand? I’ve got a 
second chance here. A second chance! What 
would you give for a second chance, Doc? 


Dr. : [Pause.] Will you take the test again, 
please? Consider it a favor to me. 


SCP-3175: Will you let me go home if | do? 
Dr. : | will strongly consider it. 


SCP-3175: [Exhalation.] Yeah, okay, Doc. 
Since you asked so nice.

Addendum / /2017: SCP-3175’s anomalous characteristics no 
longer manifest under examination. SCP-3175 has been placed in 
foster care in , _. Foundation personnel embedded in the 
Department of Social Services are to monitor SCP-3175 
indefinitely for re-emergence of anomalous characteristics.

SCP-3176: Estimated Time Of Arrival 


Item #: SCP-3176 
Anomaly Class: Euclid Neutralised 


Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-3176 is technically 
composed of loyal Foundation personnel, and temporally 
delocalised, no active containment is either necessary or feasible at 
the present time. Containment Procedures for SCP-3176 therefore 
revolve around maintaining causality and preventing paradoxical 
event series, either through the direction of MTF-n- > or the 
manufacture and activation of temporally manipulative technology. 


Documentation on SCP-3176 is to be placed in variable 
ChronoLock, as is standard for temporal anomalies of this type. 
Queries may be brought up at any time with the current project lead 
— if they are not available, contact may be established with a 
predecessor or successor (dependant on circumstance). 


Notice ( / / ): The following section of 
this document (created 1/02/2025) contains 
outdated information (i.e. that the anomaly 
in question is still extant), and should not 
be considered an accurate representation 
of its current effects. It is preserved here for 
archival purposes. 

~ Dr. Alice Forth, Department of Temporal 
Anomalies, Retcon Division 


Description: The designation SCP-3176 refers to a series of 
temporal anomalies, revolving around an as-yet unformed Mobile 
Task Force. The Task Force in question (MTF-Eta-Then, "Cause 
and Effective") will apparently be created with the aim of 
retroactively preventing containment breaches that could otherwise 
have posed a large-scale threat to Foundation personnel or 
infrastructure. The devices capable of allowing MTF-n- > to travel 


backwards through time are expected to be developed by 
Foundation scientists at some point in late 2600 — said Foundation 
scientists have agreed to trade such technology for samples of 
present-day literature, fossil fuels, and endangered species of plant 


and animal. 


The following is a timeline of all major events relating to either 
SCP-3176 or MTF-n- >:

members appear, and 
successfully halt a 
breach of SCP-

Foundation personnel 
with documents 
relating to their 
formation, but are 
unable to be 
conclusively 
interviewed before de- 
manifesting. 

MTF-n-> manifests, 
and attempts to enter 
SCP-_ 's containment 
cell. All members of 
the team are 
apprehended, and 
several interviews 
were conducted. The 
team's date of 
formation remains 
unclear, as no agent 
possesses knowledge 
of events prior to their 
deployment, but their 
scheduled date for

‘return’ is identified as 
04/09/2029. While 
personnel are 
attempting to discern 
the nature of the 
anomaly, a second 
iteration of MTF-n- > 
covertly manifests and 
performs routine 
maintenance on SCP- 
‘s chamber. Both 
iterations de-manifest 
shortly afterwards. 
Plans are made for 
the future 
development of MTF- 
n- >, with advised 
recruitment from task 
forces Beta-10 and 
Rho-5. Research 
begins into the 
development of 
required equipment. 
Prototype temporal 
distortion engine 
3176-Alpha is 
developed. 
Official completion of 
Prototype 3176-Beta, 
and birth of Agent 
Miguel (leader of 
MTF-Rho-5, and later 
member of MTF-n- 3). 
Initiation of Prototype 
3176-Gamma. Due to 
an unforeseen 
malfunction, this 
resulted in a DT-Class 
Split Timeline 
scenario, in which two 


becoming distressed. 


Third photo drawn contains image of same girl, older 
again, in the garb of high school graduation with her arm 
around a male of similar age. Subject confirms again this 
is his sister and the boy is her boyfriend. Subject seems 
agitated and reluctant to continue until assured he must 
only draw two more photos. 


Fourth photo drawn contains image of a car that has 
gone half off of a road. The windows on all sides are 
smashed and the driver door is open. In the driver seat is 
the same boy from the previous photo with no discernible 
age difference. There is considerable bodily damage on 
the boy as well as a slit throat. Subject confirms this is 
the same boy. 


Fifth photo drawn shows a funeral setting, the girl from 
the previous photos is the center of focus. She is 
wearing a black funeral dress and has a hateful 
expression. Subject confirms this is his sister again. 


All photos drawn will no longer fit into SCP-404-A so are filed inside 
of SCP-404-B. Subject's name, current date, and numbers now 
appear on the topmost sheet of SCP-404-B. 


After the test had completed the subject was allowed to leave the 
testing area and then questioned about the photos. After a time- 
lapse of approximately one hour subject became unable to answer 
any further questions about the photos and denied having ever even 
been part of a test for this day. The subject is unable to account for 
the time spent in the testing chamber and also denies knowledge of 
ever attending a funeral with his sister for any individual. Up until the 
time threshold had passed subject had been willing to answer any 
and all questions regarding the incident in the photos; loss of 
memory attributed to interaction with SCP-404-A and B.

versions of the same 
timeline run parallel to 
one another. Both 
timelines were aware 
of this, thanks to 
enhanced cross- 
temporal detection 
software. 

Attempt to activate 
Forth-Xyank 
Concatenators fails, 
due to lack of a 
corresponding unit in 
the secondary 
timeline. 

Forth-Xyank 
Concatenator violently 
disabled by MTF-n->, 
apparently originating 
from 08/09/2029 with 
orders to prevent the 
merging of the two 
timelines. Agent 
unintentionally 
terminated during the 
event's hostilities. 
Additional attempts to 
activate Forth-Xyank 
Concatenators fail, 
due to continued lack 
of a corresponding 
unit. 

Breach on 04/11/2024 
halted by MTF-n->, 
launched backwards 
simultaneously in both 
iterations. Task Force 
re-manifests, 
apparently sent from 
04/09/2029, renamed

15/06/2026

to "Time Consumers" 
for unknown reasons. 
Concatenation of 
timelines achieved 
manually by replacing 
Prototype 3176- 
Gamma with a 
functioning model 
(Prototype 3176-Zulu- 
Zulu-Lima) acquired 
from 2670 AD. Note 
that this causes the 
reversion of events 
from 20/04/2026 to 
15/06/2026, resulting 
in no such Split 
Timeline scenario ever 
occurring. As the 
deployment of MTF-n- 
D> on 26/05/2026-1/I| 
never happened, the 
breach continued to 
have happened. Dr. 
Forth expresses 
extreme concern 
regarding the 
convolution of logical 
causation. 

First recorded 
deployment of MTF-n- 
>. Task Force 
successfully deployed 
to 04/11/2024, with 
instructions to prevent 
the breach. Excursion 
deemed successful, 
with Task Force 
returning to 
04/09/2029 as 
instructed. Re-

manifests the 
following day (re- 
named 
"Bootstrappers"), 
confirming lack of 
paradoxes. 

Task force 
successfully prevents 
containment breach 
on 09/02/2024, with 
no identified incidents. 
Noted that the 
manifestation of a 
duplicate task force on 
04/11/2024, originally 
believed to have 
originated from 
26/05/2026-I/Il, should 
have been reverted 
following the 
replacement of the 
prototype. MTF-n- > 
sent back to 
20/04/2026 to covertly 
replace Prototype 
3176-Zulu-Zulu-Lima 
with a faulty model. 
Split Timeline scenario 
is thus caused to have 
always happened as 
originally documented. 
Pending re- 
manifestation of 
various iterations of 
MTF-n- 2, the project 
iS put On hiatus. 

Both iterations of 
MTF-n-> return from 
04/11/2024. The 
iteration launched 


015 


08/09/2029 


from 26/05/2026-I/II to 
04/11/2024 is 
renamed to "Time 
Consumers" to 
preserve continuity, 
amnesticised, and 
sent back to 
26/05/2026-I/Il. The 
MTF launched from 
23/08/2026 to 
04/11/2024 is 
renamed to 
"Bootstrappers" to 
preserve continuity, 
amnesticised, and 
sent back to 
23/08/2026.
