SCP-990-A showing a glimps of his first ever apocalyptic scenario.

## **`DESCRIPTION`**

SCP-990-A is the designation given to a man, appearing to be in his thirties or forties, wearing clothing typical of the 1940s. SCP-990-A has been appearing in the dreams of Foundation personnel since March 12 of 1947, but wasn't given an SCP designation until an incident taking place on August 29 of 1949.

SCP-990-A came to Foundation Agent Morris in his dreams, resulting in a coma-like state lasting approximately 40 hours. When Morris awoke, he described with great detail a series of events that would lead to several tactical nuclear missiles being launched at the United States, Europe and Asia, ultimately resulting in the extermination of nearly 98% of the human race and the total collapse of human society. Agent claimed that the information had been outlined to him by SCP-990-A while he was trapped within his dream.

Foundation agents were dispatched and were able to neutralize the threat, by assassinating US secretary of defense James Forrestal who, in the dream, acted of his own volition to launch a retaliatory strike against Russia for a future nuclear weapons test. The resulting retaliation would have been catastrophic. The assassination took place on March 28, 1949 and he was replaced by Louis A. Johnson. His assassination was covered up and a cover story made of then president Harry S. Truman asking for his resignation and his slowly declining health, leading to his official death, on May 22, 1949. Despite the mission's success, Foundation agent Morris died of shock-like symptoms only days later. On August 29, 1949, Russia tested their first nuclear weapon, with no retaliation from Johnson or the United States.

It is unknown if SCP-990-A has a physical body in the real world or where it might be located. SCP-990-A is therefore, as of this moment, unable to be contained. Recently, the Foundation have calibrated SCP-3448-D, a machine designed for use infiltrating the land between life and death, to instead map and image an individual's dreamscape. It is with this process that the only known images of SCP-990-A have been taken. It is also unknown whether or not SCP-990-A is the cause of the events that have unfolded and should therefore be considered a threat to the Foundation.

[Unknown to the SCP Foundation, SCP-990-A does in fact have a physical body and a name, Peter Diglovanni. Peter was born on April 14 of 1905, living a fairly unremarkable life. It wasn't until he was in his forties that Peter began to realize he wasn't aging as quickly as those around him. In addition, he had the ability of precognition through dreams, able to predict significant, often disastrous events. He also learned by accident that he had the ability to dream walk, to enter the dreams of others as they both slept. He began having dreams of future events pertaining to the 'SCP Foundation', seeing them as the cause of a number of incidents. He located members of this mysterious group and began to relay information on how to avert various breaches of containment.

It wasn't until 1949 that his presence became known, when he learned of an immanent nuclear apocalypse. He relayed the information to the Foundation and was relieved when they had averted the event. This did however put him on their radar, when the shock of seeing the end of the world caused the agent's death, earning him their designation of SCP-990-A. Some time later, he became aware of a number of different organizations working from the shadows. One in particular, however, aligned with his own motivations and he chose to approach the group, offering his services...]
