Special Containment Procedures: Scenarios for meeting, detaining or interviewing with SCP-095-VN are to be arranged according to SCP-095-VN-1’s recovered diary. Personnel at Foundation Area-67 must follow all the assigned scenarios. Unauthorized discovery or contact with SCP-095-VN must be reported to Senior Researcher Artic Mcbride to adjust future scenarios.
Due to SCP-095-VN’s diary containing possible events from the future, the document is limited to Personnel Level-4 and above.
Description: SCP-095-VN is a male humanoid entity around 40-50 years of age. SCP-095-VN is able to manifest at Area-67 between short time intervals, with its appearance in each manifestation being further from the past compared to the last manifestation. SCP-095-VN appears to be very knowledgeable about time traveling and identified itself as an agent of the Temporal Anomalies Department from the year 2057. SCP-095-VN's only anomalous capability is its ability to initiate short temporal displacements backwards in time without the help from any external factors. SCP-095-VN was discovered after Foundation agents conducted an investigation into Archival Storage 12 of Area-67 by the order of Senior Researcher McBride.
SCP-095-VN-1 is the cadaver of SCP-095-VN found on 02/09/2009 at Area-67. The cause of death has been diagnosed as a gunshot wound on the forehead. SCP-095-VN-1 has been recovered with its personal belongings and a standard SCP document with the SCP-095-VN designation. The document includes special containment procedures, a comprehensive description about the anomaly and a notebook labeled: "Diary of SCP-095-VN". The content within the diary are personal records of SCP-095-VN about various events since its first temporal displacement, with the timestamp of diary entries running backwards from year 2033 to 2009.
Addendum 95.1: INTERVIEW LOG
INTERVIEWER: Researcher Peter Blair.
INTERVIEWED: SCP-095-VN
DATE: 07/10/2009
FOREWORD: Foundation agents have conducted an investigation into Archival Storage 12 of Area-67 by the order of Senior Researcher Artic Mcbride. SCP-095-VN was found rummaging through archived documents within the storage and was immediately detained.
The measured timeline fluctuation and Tachyon radiation on SCP-095-VN’s body has proven that the individual did not originate from this timeframe.

[SCP-095-VN puts its backpack on the ground and opens it. Security personnel attempt to intervene but are stopped by Researcher Blair. SCP-095-VN takes an old notebook out, puts it on the table and pull out a pencil from its pocket.]
SCP-095-VN: When was the last time we meet?
Researcher Blair: Have we met?
[SCP-095-VN pauses for a moment and then looks through its notebook.]
Researcher Blair: What’s in there?
SCP-095-VN: Just a diary.
Researcher Blair: Can you introduce yourself?
SCP-095-VN: Oh, my name is Harry. Are you sure you didn’t get your memory wiped lately?
Researcher Blair: Mr. Harry, it’s nice to see you. I am very sure this is the first time we ever met. I guess jumping through time has made your memory go wobbly. Now, I have some questions for you.
[SCP-095-VN laughs.]
SCP-095-VN: This is the first time you call me by my actual name. I guess I don’t even have a designation at this time, right?
Researcher Blair: We need more time to see if you're an anomaly or not before containing and giving you a designation. Also, you seem to know a fair bit about this place, no?
SCP-095-VN: Of course, I worked here for half of my life.
Researcher Blair: You’re a Foundation personnel?
SCP-095-VN: Indeed.
Researcher Blair: From Temporal Anomalies?
SCP-095-VN: Not too hard to guess, yeah?
Researcher Blair: Do you have anything to prove it?
SCP-095-VN: I’m afraid not.
Researcher Blair: Alright. We’ll confirm that later. Now, can you tell us when did you came from?
SCP-095-VN: Two months later, maybe more.
Researcher Blair: That’s not what I meant, I know you can jump through different points in time. But I want to know where you started, where you began your journey through time.
SCP-095-VN: 2057, I guess so. I thought you guys know? Didn’t you guys just check though all my thingy already?
[Researcher Blair open his tablet and reads SCP-095-VN’s analysis results.]
Researcher Blair: Oh, my bad. According to the Tachyon density on your body, you have… temporally displaced at least 150 times in almost 50 years? How is that possible?
[Researcher Blair stops talking and continues to read the analysis.]
Researcher Blair: Your journeys, they are linear?
SCP-095-VN: Last time we met, you asked me a ton about this. So let’s leave the answers for tomorrow.
Researcher Blair: Your last time… when are we going to meet each other again?
SCP-095-VN: I thought I just told ya. Two months later.
Researcher Blair: And after that? Will we still meet?
SCP-095-VN: Yep, we still, in your future.
Researcher Blair: How does it work? The way you time travel.
[SCP-095-VN checks its notebook.]
Researcher Blair: You write your methods in that diary?
SCP-095-VN: Nah, I’m just making sure you don’t need to hear me explain it again in the future.
Researcher Blair: Sounds complicated? You can start.
[SCP-095-VN draws a vertical line on a blank page of the notebook. It highlighted the two ends of the line and then show it to Researcher Blair.]
SCP-095-VN: Okay, it’s like this. Imagine this is an upright cliff. This point up here is the year 2057, where I jumped from. That’s where I performed my time displacement. I fell for a while and then I grabbed a rock. Here, it’s this point. After that, I climbed back up. This is when my flow of time returned as usual, a minute passing by to you is a minute passing by to me, like how we are right now. However, after climbing for a while, I didn’t have enough strength to continue, or for any other reasons, I fell down once more. That small rock from before has broken off because of what I did so I could not use it again, therefore I plunged deeper. I then clinged on to a second rock. This time, like last time, I climbed up. But only for a while before I fell down again. And I also could not use the previous rock again. It keeps on repeating and repeating and now I’m here, at the present. Year 2009.
[SCP-095-VN uses its pencil to circle the lowest point of the line.]
SCP-095-VN: Is it too hard to understand?
[Researcher Blair looks at the notebook for a long time. He then raises his right hand, flicks open three fingers individually and replies.]
Researcher Blair: You can travel back in time in a fixed direction. You cannot return to a point you have traveled through, back in the future. You cannot stay in a point for too long.
SCP-095-VN: It’s basically that!
Researcher Blair: You absolutely can explain it in just three sentences.
SCP-095-VN: Aren’t you the one who said visualization when discussing time travel will make it a whole lot easier to understand?
Researcher Blair: I’ve never said that.
SCP-095-VN: You will.
Researcher Blair: Alright, alright. Let’s put that aside for a moment. As you’ve said, these rocks are the points in time when you appear at this facility. Or more accurately, when you meet me.
SCP-095-VN: That’s right.
Researcher Blair: But why this place?
SCP-095-VN: It’s where I started.
Researcher Blair: And the reason you do this?
SCP-095-VN: It’s a research project!
Researcher Blair: Research project?
SCP-095-VN: Yeah, a RCT-Δt research project. I was a test subject. They don’t use D Class for this kind of experiment. RCT-Δt is developing a local early warning program for some important facilities. Its target is to minimize damage and casualty from small-scale incidents.
Researcher Blair: Warning program? That doesn’t make much sense. They can just send information rather than personnel. I’ve even heard the Foundation has a drug that can send its user’s mind back in time.
SCP-095-VN: The Foundation always has its reason for its doings. You believe it or not doesn’t matter even an iota. If this is truly the first time we meet, then my job is done, what matters now is the course of action from all of you. That is the only answer I can give out of everything I know. If you want more, let’s wait for our next time.
Researcher Blair: I don’t mean that. But if you say so then, yeah, I can only wait for our second meeting. Thank you for your cooperation.
[Researcher Blair stands up and prepare to leave but suddenly stops.]
Researcher Blair: If this is our first time then what will happen next?? Are there any rocks for you to cling on?
SCP-095-VN: Who knows. Maybe after this interview, I will be put into a cell, and live the rest of my life there. Or, if I’m lucky, I’ll leave and never return to this Area ever again.
Researcher Blair: Seems like I can only say good luck and goodbye to you.
[SCP-095-VN closes the notebook without writing anything else. It puts it back the backpack, looks at Researcher Blair and smiles.]
SCP-095-VN: Thank you.
[Researcher Blair smile and replies]]
Researcher Blair: One more thing. Do you have anything to warn us about?
SCP-095-VN: Not today.
[SCP-095-VN is led by security personnel to a Humanoid Containment Cell. Four hours later, the anomaly is released by the order of Senior Researcher McBride. SCP-095-VN has disappeared outside of Area-67 without a trace.]

Addendum 95.2
EMAIL FROM RESEARCHER BLAIR
On 08/12/2017, after the 18th contact with SCP-095-VN. Researcher Peter Blair sent an email to Senior Researcher Artic Mcbride.
From: Researcher Peter Blair
To: Senior Researcher Artic Mcbride
Date: 08th December 2017, 08:40
Subject: Reassessment Of The Special Containment Procedures of SCP-095-VN.
To Artic,
It’s been more than 8 years since we first discovered SCP-095-VN, however, his identity is still a mystery. I am not trying to dismiss his contributions for this facility but it seems like we have been too neglectful in containing a temporal anomaly. The warnings from SCP-095-VN are becoming questionable. Their legitimacy is too vague to be proved. Last month we had spent a whole week to provide maintenance for the chemical storage, and then nothing happened. Does that mean we have successfully prevented a catastrophe or there was no incident to begin with?
I cannot deduce SCP-095-VN's motives. He always pays attention to detail and is very friendly, it seems like this whole facility loves him. However, in my opinion, as someone who has been working with SCP-095-VN for 8 years, it is necessary to reassess SCP-095-VN’s risks and classification. I will send you the official proposal tomorrow. Besides, I will also send a request to access SCP-095-VN's diary.
I have trust in your decisions as always, Artic.
Peter.
Response:
My dear Peter,
I understand your worries. Nevertheless, SCP-095-VN currently has not shown to be of any risks to Foundation security. In reality, the anomaly has been dead since before the whole thing. Whatever happens in the future is already done by him, and are things we don't have control over. At least no one in this facility would die from a lamp falling on their head, or something similar to that. You’re assuming I’m pardoning SCP-095-VN because of his forewarnings? That is true. We need an oracle more than a time traveling agent. Despite this, I can assure you: all of my decisions do not violate or or oppose the Foundation’s directives.
Do not concern yourself too much with this. Keep carrying on your duty. You also don’t need to send your proposal, I will deny it. But I will give you access to SCP-095-VN's diary if you need to. I believe it will clear things up about SCP-095-VN and give you more faith in the causes of our doing.
Artic.
Special Containment Procedures: All information about SCP-095-VN's identity between 2034 to 2057 must be completely expunged from every timeline. The containment procedures as a whole must be arranged to ensure Incident 95.3 can occur, including the separation of the event from the flow of causality. The procedures must also prevent personnel at Area-67 in the past from knowing the true identity and origin of SCP-095-VN before Incident 95.3. In the event of a containment breach, the entirety of Area-67 and related causal strings must be separated from the Foundation prime timeline.
Description: SCP-095-VN was an experimentation result of a research project at Area-67 with the purpose of testing the consciousness-transplanting function of a prototype temporal dislocation device. The research concluded with the consciousness of SCP-095-VN sent to a timeframe before the subject’s birth and continued to dislocate further into the past, specifically from the year 2033 to 2009.
The manifestations of SCP-095-VN on Area-67’s timeline was retrocausally protected by the bootstrap paradox. Therefore, The Foundation had approved a temporary protocol of utilizing the DCP-43 Framework and the Temporal Dislocation Device TT.55.06. The physical body of SCP-095-VN had also been sent to the past to synchronize with the subject’s disconnected consciousness.
SCP-095-VN was causally linked to the entirety of Area-67 in approximately 25 years from 2009 to 2033. In this period, SCP-095-VN continuously made contact with personnel at the Area in each dislocation instance. SCP-095-VN had given multiple advance warnings about random accidents at the facility and missions outside of the area. SCP-095-VN had helped Area-67 prevent at least 240 accidents, indirectly saved 50 personnel and increased field mission accomplishment rate up 40% compared to before 2009 and after 2033.
SCP-095-VN was terminated by Researcher Peter Blair on 01/09/2009 by the order of Dr. Thaddeus Xyank, Director of Temporal Anomalies Department. Documents related to SCP-095-VN have been compiled and sent back to the same timeframe to aid the subject’s containment in the past.
Addendum 95.3
INCIDENT 95.3
SUMMARIZED EXPERIMENT REPORT T781-32 AND INCIDENT REPORT 95.3
DATE: 14/09/2057
On 02/06/2057, a Foundation researcher has proposed an experiment with the purpose of: "Testing the capability of T781-32 to transplant consciousnesses backwards in time". The experiment was approved by Area-67 Director Artic Mcbride and was conducted for 6 months before Incident 95.3. The experiment was separated into 2 phases. During the observation phase lasting 6 months, D Class personnel as test subjects were observed through cameras in their humanoid containment cells. Subjects’ unusual signs that were believed to come from separate consciousness originating from different timeframes were noted. All 4 test subjects showed signs of another consciousness existing within their body.
Phase 2 was conducted at 08:30 on 14/09/2057, đuring which the consciousness of all 4 subjects were sent back into the past through T781-32. After 4 hours, 3 of 4 subjects had regained their consciousness. Interviews showed that all three subjects shared the same experiences similar to events recorded in the observation phase. The final subject did not appear to regain consciousness. After 15 minutes, Senior Researcher Peter Blair and Area-67 Director Artic Mcbride arrived at the testing chamber and took charge of the experiment. The mentioned subject was identified as SCP-095-VN. Special Containment Procedures for the anomaly were immediately applied, with all information about SCP-095-VN from his date of birth to 14/09/2057 having been expunged, including the experiment.
The experiment was declared a failure, and all experiments related to T781-32 from this point are now prohibited until reverification from RCT-Δt Specialists.
Addendum 95.4
PREVENTION OF SCP-095-VN
«BEGIN LOG»
[Camera turns on, with Researcher Blair‘s face occupying 2/3 of the frame. He looks into the lens for 2 seconds before moving backwards and sitting on a couch. The background appears to be a standard personnel dorm room at Area-67, later identified as Room 14, Floor 2, Unit-67A. At the time of recording, the room was not assigned to any personnel.]
[Researcher Blair puts his backpack on the couch, and takes out a gun, a watch, an old notebook and a tablet and puts them on the table. He wears the watch on his hand, adjusts its needles for 10 seconds, and then turns on the tablet and loads the gun. He looks at the camera for a while while before speaking.]
Researcher Blair: Hello. Even though I do this out of formality, I still think I’m responsible for giving all of this an actual ending. Oh and... for him as well. Right now is 10:30 AM, the first of December 2009, 48 years and 25 days before everything started, and only 30 minutes left before it’s finished. I’m not intending to explain things thoroughly, either way, this whole place will know the truth 48 years later. I was sent here to stop SCP-095-VN and become a part of what happened. I don’t know if I can return after everything is completed. How can I say this? It's a one-way ticket straight to hell. The Foundation even has a protocol called "Suicidal Time Traveller", established to ensure my death after this mission.
[Researcher Blair picks up the notebook on the table and shows it to the camera.]
Researcher Blair: This is the diary of SCP-095-VN, it’s almost 100 years old, even older than me. He foolishly thought these things here can deceive the Foundation. I spent more than 4 decades researching this diary, despite never having read the original, although I bet I’ve rewritten more than half of it. I don’t know why I did that, maybe because I sympathized with him, or maybe it’s just a part of the paradox. It means so much to me, like a storybook in the hands of a kid, it’s why I joined the Δt...
[Researcher Blair pauses, stares pensively at the notebook for a long while, and then fishes out a lighter from his pocket and burns the notebook. He sits and watches the notebook burns in the ashtray until it burned out.]
Researcher Blair: I wish I could be as brave as you are. It’s too late, either way…
[Researcher Blair remained silent for 2 minutes before looking at the camera.]
Researcher Blair: Oh, where was I? My job was to stop SCP-095-VN and compile a document for his first appearance. The manifestation of SCP-095-VN cannot be prevented, I have to take responsibility for it right now…
[The recording of Researcher Blair’s self-blaming for letting Incident 095.3 happened to SCP-095-VN has been truncated.]
[On 13:02. The camera was distorted for 1 second before returning to normal, a man wearing a leather jacket, carrying a backpack appears on the left side of the frame, behind the couch. The man is identified as SCP-095-VN. He looks to Researcher Blair.]
SCP-095-VN: Who are you?
[Researcher Blair slightly leans on one side of the couch.]
Researcher Blair: You don’t recognize me? Well, not surprising. Considering the last time we met was 23 years ago.
[Both remain silent for a long time. SCP-095-VN walks and sits down next to Researcher Blair.]
SCP-095-VN: You’ve failed. Everything still happened.
Researcher Blair: I’m so sorry. After all 23 years, Artic and I had tried to find out about you but everything was hidden away too well. Only after the Incident, we found out it’s all parts of the containment procedures.
SCP-095-VN: 23 years huh... to me, we just met 1 month ago.
Researcher Blair: That must have been our first meeting. Even after 48 years, I still vividly remember your lost expression while looking at the diary.
SCP-095-VN: Haha. Quit boasting. You were just an apprentice, barely 20 years old, and you believed every word coming from my mouth.
Researcher Blair: We soon figured out your lies, it’s just that we didn’t want to reveal it to you. You know that?
SCP-095-VN: Of course. You suggested that to me.
Researcher Blair: I don’t remember suggesting you to give us outcomes for missions from other places.
[SCP-095-VN shrugged, laughs and replies.]
SCP-095-VN: I just want to be more helpful.
Researcher Blair: This facility owes you a favor!
SCP-095-VN: And I owe you a favor as well. I can never imagine we would meet again… each in our final version.
Researcher Blair: Final version…I like those words. You know, each time we met, what you know about me is lessened a little. It’s like Alzheimer. I know one day, I will become a stranger in your eyes. After that day, I can never see you again
SCP-095-VN: Come on, aren’t we here already?
Researcher Blair: Are you afraid of death?
SCP-095-VN: Out of all of the possibilities I thought about, this probably is the best outcome. At least I won’t be alone.
Researcher Blair: I wish I could be as optimistic as you are.
[The alarm bell from Researcher Blair’s watch rings.]
SCP-095-VN: It’s time, isn’t it?
[Researcher Blair remains silent.]
SCP-095-VN: I’ll go first.
[SCP-095-VN grabs the gun on the table. Researcher Blair jumps up and tries to take it back. The table is pushed into the camera holder, making it fall down. Both subjects are out of the frame.]
Researcher Blair: Wait!
[A gunshot can be heard. Both Researcher Blair and SCP-095-VN do not return to the frame. The camera is turned off 1 minute later.]
