Touching Eternity

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-001 cannot be contained. As a result, Foundation efforts are to focus on the following: - Recovery of remaining motile civilians to Foundation-organized safe communities; - Restoration of Foundation technological and communications infrastructure wherever possible; - Restoration of the concept of "time" via reconstruction of SCP-001-1. Those affected by SCP-001 are currently considered lost. Preservation of the veil is to be disregarded. Foundation agents have the full approval of remaining O5 council members to eliminate persons or groups deemed hostile to the Foundation's mission with prejudice. Description: SCP-001 is categorized as a ZK-Class Temporal Cessation event, which resulted in the total cessation of the standard passage of time on February 13th, 2025 at 0710 PST. Following SCP-001, the natural progress of time as understood by society ceased. Affected persons, animals, inanimate objects, etc. remain locked in the position they were in when the event took place and are incapable of independent motion. While SCP-001 is believed to affect an overwhelming amount of the population, a currently unknown number of humans have remained unaffected. Unaffected individuals retain the ability to move and interact with their environment, however, most natural biological processes have ceased. The mechanics of SCP-001 are poorly understood beyond what is outlined above. Research remains ongoing. SCP-001-1 was a stone shrine dedicated to Aeternum1 located within Olympic National Park in Washington, USA. This sanctum was the last remaining shrine to Aeternum, as well as the last location of modern worship of the deity. It collapsed on February 13th, 2025, though the reason for this collapse is currently unknown.
