SCP-5496: Fast Time

**Item #:** SCP-5496

**Object Class:** Euclid

**Containment Procedure:** It is kept in a small room with a plastic table and a metal folding chair in Site ██. The room is sealed shut unless a D Class Subject is sent in there for testing.  There has to be at least one Foundation Security Guard Properly Equipped with Standard Issue Equipment Attending the door. There are windows for observing the effects of the SCP ~~and the SCP itself.~~

**Description:** It appears to be a standard alarm clock of unknown branding with a red LED display Set to US central time zone. When a subject is sitting down on a Seat in front of the object and staring at it, the subject starts to progressively age the longer they stare at the object. The subject after a period of 3 minutes will age until they die. This effect also applies if you look at an image of it. also It seems that afterwards a subject’s corpse ages until it is beyond recognition and all that remains of a subject is a skeleton. Since it's nature is unperdictable and has yet to be studied further, it has been classified as Euclid. So far, it seems the object stays on even without a power source. Attempts to dismantle the SCP have been unsuccessful in terms of trying to deactivate it. It hasn’t been determined how and why it functions without a power source.

**Addendum 5937: Containment Protocol Updated. See Incident U829-A.**

**Incident Report U829-A:**

**██/██/██, Site ██, Containment Room ████**

**Note: Due to incompetence, the containment procedure has been updated.**

**10:30:03 PM***:* **The Subject Has Been Sent in. So Far the Aging Process is aging him at a fast rate.**

**10:33:06 PM***:* **████ Robinson looked at the Now Deceased D Class Subject but has also looked at the SCP in the process. Once he looked at it he couldn't stop.**

**10:36: 010 PM: ████ Robinson turned to a pile of bones.**

**10:38:10 PM:** **The Subject was confirmed to be Deceased. The corpse of the deceased subject Was Taken Out of the containment Chamber and Incinerated.**

**10:41:05 PM***:* **The Corpse of ████ Robinson was taken out of the observation room and was incinerated.**

**After Action: Containment Protocol was Updated.**

There are no windows facing the clock at the Containment Chamber.  Furthermore, Nobody is to look at the clock Except for D Class Subjects that are sent in for testing. Same Rule of not looking at the clock still applies to you if you are taking the Deceased subject’s corpse out. If you are someone that is very curious about certain things, you are to have something on you that doesn't allow you to see the Object.  You also need someone with level 3 access or higher to either enter or exit the containment chamber.
