SCP-025 Truth Keeper

**SCP-025 IS NOT TO BE INTERACTED WITH, AND "THE TRUTH" MUST ONLY BE EXPOSED TO ANOTHER SUBJECT IF THE INTENT IS TO KILL.**

SCP-25 is an entity with a desire to stop a certain truth from getting out.

On 12/30/2001 a researcher had made the discovery of a lifetime. They had learned something so valuable that he had called up the 05 council to tell them. But as he reached for the phone, a sword pierced through his chest, and came down splitting him in two. This was observed on security feeds and was the first time SCP-25 had shown itself. The foundation tried to access the documents he was working on, but they were corrupted on his computer and whenever they attempted to access it the computer would fry itself many times over, even if the power source was unplugged. The computers then began to bleed, its blood reflecting 0's and 1's. This event could not be recreated and for another year the SCP was originally designated "The Buzzkill" on the fact that it killed the researcher when he discovered something amazing.

But a year after that death, another scientist claimed he had discovered something, but this time he saw it as horrifying. He contacted the 05 council evidently, saying he had information that would shake our reality. But an hour before a 05 member could get there to find out the answer, The scientist was found dead, this time choked out by barbed wire. The computers had the same affect, bleeding and sparling even when unplugged. The 05-council member was horrified and put all employees at the site that if this story ever got beyond the walls of this facility, they would all be killed. After this, the 05 council to make a special ops team only known to the 05 council to find out what was going on. Both researchers had discovered something of immense importance, to the point where they directly involved the 05 council, which at maximum penalty can lead the person who called them in to become a D-class at a Keter facility.

After gathering the most loyal, strongest, and smartest members of the SCP foundation, the 05 council formed the first ever SOF (special operations force) named SOF Dark Phantom and started operation "Truth Bomb".

The team from 3/11/2002 to 11/30/2002 had no results, trying to obtain what the researchers had been working on. Then when the month turned to December the team started to discover what the researchers had been working on. Both had worked in reality distortion, and both had worked in North America. Both had discovered something in December and had been studying something referred to as the "Key", which was theorized by the team's scientists to be an uncategorized SCP. Dark Phantom then moved to Alpha-1 and began looking for this Key. Dark Phantom even recruited SCP-10 to help look for the Key. About halfway through December, the team discovered what they thought to be the Key. It was instantly contained and was moved to [redacted]. Researchers and Scientists started to poke at the key and tried to see what made in paranormal. It looked like a fancy key, having a gemstone in the back and the teeth being made of crystals, and was larger then normal. It also had an inscription on the gemstone.

**"Curiosity killed the cat. Would you want your mind to go back? wait till the full cycle, when the gateway opens. If you want the truth, you will live lying. It comes with a price, one dear and high. For everyone that Knows, the end is nigh."**

After reading this researcher were able to figure out that this is a key to attain important information, which can be accessed once a year through some sort of gate way that will reveal something and will come with a price, our life. Also, it appears that anyone that knows the truth will inevitably die. The team cannot figure out what the "if you want the truth, you will live lying" means, for it could range from a false religion to our understanding of science, it was simply just too ominous. The team did figure out what the "would you want your mind to go back?" means, being something, we used to know and was taken from us. The team started a few theories of what that truth could be.

**Possible truths**

-The Garden of Edan's entrance (religion angle)

-The meaning of life (life angle)

-Heaven (religion angle)

-Time travel (science angle)

-Eternal life (life angle)

-Knowledge of everything (intellectual angle)

There are more, but they are less credible and less famous, so they were not presented here.

On 12/30/2002 scientist Dr. Bannigan and two task force members, Simon GrayBald and Corey McDani were watching the Key on New Year's Eve. Then, all of a sudden, a doorway opened in front of the key. Dr. Bannigan and the two task force members entered and came back out 20 minutes later telling the four other scientists and 13 other task force members. They evidently called the 05 council, and the task force members prepared for whatever monstrosity that was coming their way. An hour into this, one of the scientists had a blade come out of their chest and was opened like a fish. It was a portal, and out stepped what is known as SCP-25. The task force members did their best to hold it off, but its ability was too great. 04 got their right as the last task force member was killed. 04 caught a glimpse of the creature, a tall man as white as snow carrying a long blade. it had what looked like a furnace with an exposed grill. It had no shirt and had a tattered kilt around its waist and had pure black eyes. After touching the computers with data on it, SCP-25 then left and did not return.

The Foundation found a way to weaponize this, after a while creating the same information that summons it and putting it in a pocket dimension so SCP-25 would not find it. They would then show it to the enemy and SCP-25 would come and kill them. SCP-25 cannot kill everything though and will drag the creature into its dimension and make it forget the information, but this would cause the creature to be mentally broken.

Hostile, Keter, testing.
