SCP-045

Item #: SCP-045
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-045 is located at Site-DE18 on level 3 in custody room 324, and is stored in a Class-S3 locker therein, where SCP-045 is kept in a customized, padded container.
The golden rings of SCP-045 are fixated with fabric ribbons, and the plate of SCP-045 is, in addition, covered by a non-transparent cloth. Unbounding or loosening of the fabric ribbons and cloths is to be conducted solely be D-Class personnel.
Research personnel may only view the test courses with SCP-045 through cameras. In course of testing, only D-Class personal are permitted to reside in the testing chamber of SCP-045.
Description: SCP-045 is described as being a construct, consisting of three parts, one frame with similarities to a armillary sphere, one plate, and one stand.
The armillary sphere of SCP-045 is made up of seven mutually rotatable rings of gold, each 1.20 cm in wide. The outermost gold ring of the SCP-045 amilliary sphere is 40 cm in diameter.
In the center of the construct resembling a armilliary sphere, a perpendicular, round, blue disc is located, together with a 1 cm thick gold frame. The 5 mm thick disc with a diameter of 9 cm, is transparent despite possessing a dark blue coloration. On the disk itself, there are seven engraved circles that have differing distances to one another, and feature several unknown, engraved symbols which are present between the circular engravings.
The construct is supported by a 10 cm high gold frame. This is a classic globe rack, with a lateral hanger that encompasses the outermost gold ring of the SCP-045 construct. Together with the construct, SCP-045 shows a height of 60 cm in total.
When a person hits one of the gold rings of SCP-045, all gold rings of SCP-045 will start to rotate for a span of 77 seconds. During these 77 seconds, a bright bluish glow will be emitted from the blue disc. After exactly 77 seconds, all gold rings of SCP-045 will be in a vertical position. In the previously blue lighted disk of SCP-045 can be observed over a period of 777 seconds, any subject, object or place. For this purpose, the user of SCP-045 has to hit SCP-045 with any extremity, while the SCP-045 user thinks of what SCP-045 should depict.
When persons that were present through these 777 seconds, where the anomalous effect of SCP-045 was present, see through the SCP-045 disc, they will suffer permanent visual impairments. Further testing revealed that it is possible to view the anomalous effect of SCP-045 using solely one eye, this has the consequence that only one eye gets affected by the negative effects of SCP-045. In Addition, the anomalous effect of the SCP-045 disc can not be filmed or photographed. After the anomalous effect of SCP-045 is induced, it can only be reactivated after 7 hours. Furthermore, intensive use of SCP-045 can lead to delusions, confusion, and blindness.
The graphological analysis of the found documents that were present the same room where SCP-045 was also secured came to the result that the author was only one person. According to the evaluations of the text contents, the person described the events from the present at that time, memories which the previous owner experienced from his own perspective via SCP-045, as well as happenings from the past and future. Some text fragments indicate that the previous owner of SCP-045 was capable of seeing into parallel universes and utilizing some form of "Prewind function". In addition, the scope of text pieces exceeds by far the amount of utilizations, before a SCP-045 operator gets blinded through the effect. It is theorized that the previous owner of SCP-045 could evade the negative effects of SCP-045.
Testing with SCP-045 to reflect past, future, or memories could not be analyzed. Due to the test subjects being permanently disturbed after such test trials, through which communication with the test subjects deemed impossible. Additionally, all suffered massive visual imaprements.
Discovery: On the ██.██.████, in the course of restoration works on the temple branch [REDACTED], SCP-045 was located in a walled up underground section. SCP-045 stood on a stone pedestal in the center of the room, with the pedestal featuring an engraved symbol resembling the Eye of Provision. Next to SCP-045 in the room, there were [REDACTED] text pieces written in the Latin language. As both the section, SCP-045, and the Latin text pieces therein were reported, the German department for external affairs became attentive about the reported findings. After closer inspection, the content of the secret room was secured by the German branch of the Foundation. SCP-045 was contained in Site-DE18 and the Latin documents were redirected to [REDACTED] for evaluation.
Excerpts of the documents found in the SCP-045 place of recovery:
----
Virtuti Militari:
Karl, from my blood, in tabard and spire, sword wielding between brothers in faith and infidel. The Psalm 144 on his lips, he slays the foes of god with his sword. Brave is his courage on the battlefield. May the lord aid him and his brothers in arms to victory.
----
Memoria:
My mother, I see, through my eyes as a little squire, she is so youthful and pleased. Her rosary she gives me, she teaches me how to pray. So beauteous is her sight. Yet her voice is denied to me. Lord, guard her in thy heavenly kingdom.
----
Crux:
The lord, crucified, covering his loins, his body defiled, two crucifixes on his right and left, two crosses, two menfolk. The faces filled with torment, the words I lack. The sky, he darkens. O lord, for thee sacrifice, I thank.
----
Inferna:
A lake, it blazes, the eternity of damnation, I can feel her, the hell's cauldron, he is real, my eyes, how they hurt. It suffices. The gaze, he is too much foor my soul.
----
Futurum:
The of god, on a table, in a white room, so empty, so bright. A man, short hair, in a cloth garment, orange by color, with black ornaments, such one I never beheld such one. He moves his rings, the eye glows, the man sees something. He stares into the eye, he did, yet his gaze wondered away from the eye. He begins to rub his eyes. The man, he did not know what he got hmself into. How unillumined he will be.
----
Apocalypsis:
Legionnaires, in pale gray fissures, in armour and helmet. Rising from the earth, from a large hole, in the midst of a dismal land which was haunted by death and decay. The legionaries, legions they are, for they are many and foreign in the land. Creatures of iron follow them, demons in lieu of horses they're using, hideous creatures I gaze upon. A crusade with heretical crosses. Crusaders who take belief away and don't give. Indeed, the legions of evil, the final frontier between good and evil, is nearing, yet today she is far away.

Addendum:
Conlisus:
In course of studying the secured texts from the excavation site, the Foundation became trough the document Conlisus alerted about SCP-096.
