Item №: SCP-017

Anomaly Class: Undetermined

Special Containment Procedures: [to do]

Description: [to do}

PREEMPTIVE UPDATE:
Temporal anomaly, 20190612AD:16:00:00, three hours in length. I jumped back from 20190613, entered prior to anomaly. More info coming
- Agent Richard Miguel

Loop ~3 hours. Ive returned to 16:00.
- Agent Richard Miguel

Currently charging TDE for return journey. Measuring background field-warp yields negative of baseline, which makes sense
I think it's a standard temporal warp, paradox risks minimal. Potential for containment maybe? Could be risky but if jumps are internal it'd create an isolated timeline we could dump hoppers in

- Agent Richard Miguel

Description: SCP-017 is a time loop occurring at 16:00 on 2019-06-12 within an office in Slough, England. At exactly 19:00, the contents of the office (which has been designated SCP-017-1) are sent back to 16:00, with no observable discontinuity. [to do]

Okay, that wasn't me.

[voc2]: "Identify yourself!"

[voc1]: "John Hunt. I work here, human resources. What's going on? Why can't I get out of here?"

[voc2]: "Bullshit. That's the cover I was given."

[voc1]: "Crap. What-"

[voc2]: "What're the last four digits of your ID?"

[voc1]: "7-6-4-3. Does the black moon howl?"

[voc2]: "When the social clime demands it. Return the favour?"

[voc1]: "With gusto."

[voc1]: "Shit."
[voc2]: "Shit."

[voc1]: "We need to call this in."

[voc2]: "Agreed. I'll-"

Rapid genesis of iter%%unexpected_eol%%

There are currently six people present in the office. I have informed all iterations of Miguel to halt file transfers until a baseline protocol for communication with exclusionary sites is established. His credentials are valid, as best I can tell, and what he surmised was correct — Timelike w/ 1,2-Upsilon Type-Clarke going by 2017 category conventions.

I was informed of the distortion on 20170102AD, with us having preemptively detected it. I will attempt to jump back once my scheduled experiments have been conducted.

Item #: SCP-017

Object Class: Unknown

**Special Contai%%upload_conflict_detected%%

It seems the distortion is more detectable the more people are present, which means it gets detected earlier, which means a person gets sent earlier, which means %%upload_conflict_detected%%

people keep trying to send messages. requesting emergency abort - xyank and ted are deconstructing engines to measure background field. I think w%%upload_conflict_detected%%

TRANSMISSION|AUDIO RECORDING|UNKNOWN:

[voc1]: "Okay, so that's thirty-four Agent Miguels, seven Thaddeus Xyanks, twelve Ted Berklays, one Ted Barklay — are you sure about that?"

[voc2]: "It's my name, I should bloody well hope so. Dunno why the rest of you spell it weird."

[voc1]: "Fine. That at least confirms we're consistent across branching. One Ted Barklay, three Caroline Nurels, eight Jeremy Paulsons — that's me, by the way; I apparently die in 1998, so a lot of you might not know me — eight Alice Forths, and someone called Lawrence Cready-"

[voc3]: "Hiya."

[voc1]: "-who claims to be an intern but who none of us have any awareness of?"

[voc4]: "That's right. Two more Nurels just entered in the lobby, but two of the Miguels managed to overpower Ted and get to the TDEs, so it doesn't change the total. As far as I know, they're going to call for mass evacuation."

[voc5]: "It won't work. Once you're out, you're out. From their perspective, this mess was already cleared up about a year ago."

[voc1]: "That's oddly comforting."
[voc2]: "That's disconcerting."

[voc5]: "Of course, it could be that we all died of dehydration and underwent proton decay until the room reached stable equilibrium and stopped overwriting itself."

[pause]

[voc1]: "That wasn't helpful, Thad."
[voc4]: "That wasn't helpful, Thad."
[voc6]: "That wasn't helpful, Thaddeus."
[voc3]: "I- I want to go home."
