SCP-012

SCP-012 ("A Bad Composition") is a handwritten musical score titled On Mount Golgotha that is currently unfinished. It contains a cognitohazard that induces a trance in which people mutilate themselves in order to continue writing until a section is completed, or they die. 012 is linked to a being known only as Saint Alagadda, an eldritch being capable of destroying the concept of time if summoned. 
==Biography==
===Primae Formae===
Prior to the Great Fire of Rome in 64 CE, the Roman emperor Nero obtained an early version of On Mount Golgotha. He performed the score on a lute variant of SCP-2458 in front of a crowd as Rome burned; however, the use of both 012 and 2458 resulted in the crowd being annihilated by the summoned forces. After the crowd dispersed, Nero continued to write the composition in blood.Prelude: Primae Formae
===Bloodlines===
Prior to 1477, parts of On Mount Golgotha were considered a curse in Romani culture. When Daevite Host-Lord and Wallachian Voivode Vlad the Impaler brought an entire Romani clan to Poenari Citadel with the intention of killing them and intimidating their matriarch into serving Vlad, she refused and spat at his feet. As he cut her neck, she sang a brief excerpt from On Mount Golgotha, which drove the Daevite insane. He slaughtered his army and continued writing the song with their blood; when their blood ran out, he used his own blood and died as a result.
Ottoman Janissary Konstantin eventually discovered the bloodied scene, but the rain had washed away the composition by the time he arrived. After his memories of the event faded due to the effects of SCP-140, he started humming a song that could have been On Mount Golgotha.Bloodlines

Clovis and Frederick came across the score of On Mount Golgotha at some point, and realizing how dangerous it was, Clovis decided to bury it deep in a northern Italian tomb to keep it from causing harm.

The Masked One commissioned an Italian musician to write Sul Golgota on vellum parchment. He was buried alive in the Santa Croce some time later, for unknown reasons.

===Rediscovery===
In November 1966, in the aftermath of the 1966 flood of the Arno, archaeologist and Mud Angel K. M. Sandoval discovered the tomb where Sul Golgota was hidden behind the shattered altar of the Santa Croce. He delved into the tomb on the night of 10 November, retrieving the vellum page and a commission paper from the Masked One. Sandoval was not immediately affected by the symphony, as it was heavily mud-stained and unreadable.
He took it to Leon Spitzer on 11 November, another Mud Angel and secret SCP Foundation field agent, who proceeded to treat the vellum and clean it in a designated room in the upper National Central Library. Sandoval and Spitzer soon became obsessed with Sul Golgota after it became legible, with Spitzer accidentally burning down much of the treatment room in an effort to read it. Spitzer's partner, Roger Anderson, attempted to contain Spitzer after he ripped open his wrist to continue the endless symphony, though ultimately Sandoval would free Spitzer; Spitzer would later bleed out after attempting to finish the writing with Sandoval following soon after.
Anderson called in backup, having consumed an amnestic cocktail to tolerate being around the cognitohazardous object. It was soon contained and designated SCP-012, being stored at Site-19.

==Attributes==
SCP-012's manuscript possesses a multitude of cognitohazards; the primary one in particular forces victims that gaze upon it to mutilate themselves in order to finish it. This typically results in severe trauma and eventual exsanguination, though, some survivors realize that they can't finish it and promptly commit suicide.Entry Page: 012 Seeing the composition is not the only way to cause forced mutilation; as shown when the Romani matriarch sang a small excerpt of it to Vlad the Impaler, it still drove him to insanity and forced to continue the composition. Playing On Mount Golgotha on any variant of SCP-2458 will also result in the produced notes turning on people, killing them in brutal ways.
Another cognitohazard is that 012 affects anyone with knowledge of it to be plagued with nightmares and an obsession with Alagadda and Saint Alagadda. This obsession drives the individual to completing 012 by any means necessary, including human sacrifice, theft, and the reunification of the various pieces of the composition. It was theorized by former field agent Roger Anderson and Junior Researcher Emma Stark when discussing why 012 was Euclid and not just Safe, and fully discovered when Dr. Pherson fled Site-19 after 012 was hidden away by MTF Eta-11 Commander Samuel Richards, Site-19 Security discovering various writings on Alagadda and alchemical thaumaturgy in Pherson's room.Counterpoint
An unconfirmed property is that the completed version would summon the eldritch Saint Alagadda, who would stop time itself with its own properties. This was revealed by SCP-2992 in an interview with Stark and MTF Eta-11 member Mike Carter.Pattern Breaker The Syncope Symphony is after the completed version of 012 in order to play it and revert time to the year of 1976.Entry Page: 7676
