The two staff members observed the woman through the one-way mirror looking into her chamber.
She was resting on her bed, she had been brought in two hours earlier.
She looked very fragile and in need of a good meal, but they had been instructed to let
her rest for a while before going in to feed her.
They opened the door to the chamber slowly and went inside.
The woman looked up as they entered, she let out a scream and pointed to them,
“What happened?
Why is half of your arm missing?”
She said to one staff member.
“And why do you have a hole in the top of your head?”
She said to the other.
The two staff members looked at each other in disbelief, they had no idea what the woman
was talking about.
They put down her plate of food and left the chamber.
Two days later, a huge explosion was heard from the next-door chamber.
The two personnel that had first met the woman were both killed in the fire.
One died from loss of blood caused by the severing of one of her limbs.
The other died after losing part of his brain in the blast.
Welcome back to SCP exposed.
Before I go on, please make sure you subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss out on

Today we bring you Safe class object SCP-187.
She is a caucasian female in her early 20s.
She is approximately 180cms tall but weighs only around 40kgs.
It appears that she has been suffering from severe malnutrition.
The woman is to be kept under strict medical restraints to prevent her from causing harm
to herself.
She will be attended full time by medical personnel who are under instructions to tranquilize
or sedate her should it be necessary.
She must wear mittens at all times to prevent her from hurting her own eyes.
If SCP-187 refuses to open her eyes during authorized testing, or during site inspections,
the use of eyelid speculums is authorized.
All statements made by the woman during testing and site inspections must be recorded and
analyzed.
She is to be prevented from interacting with D-Class personnel who are nearing the end
of their 'cycle' and she must be spoon-fed.
Mild tranquilizers are to be added to all her meals.
SCP-187 exhibits a unique form of precognition whereby she sees everything in two states
simultaneously, the first as they are, and the second as they will be.
She does not see minor changes, only changes to what would be considered the 'norm'.
For example, in testing, when presented with five D-class personnel and asked which of
them would change their clothes, she couldn't answer, as such a change isn't drastic enough.
However, when presented with five D-class personnel and asked which would be shot, she
was able to 'predict' which one, every time, as she could see the injury inflicted just
by looking at him.
However, she cannot foresee future events or changes to items that she is not currently
looking at.
Rather, she can see the future state of whatever she is looking at.
This has led to some unexpected consequences.
For example:
As part of the usual tests performed on new human/humanoid SCP acquisitions, SCP-187 was
given a standardized IQ test.
When the results were collected, she was revealed to have an IQ in excess of 300 which is actually
the limit of the tests.
This, of course, would have made her the most intelligent human being on the planet; however,
her intellect did not seem that high based on her initial interviews.
The test was repeated 4 times, and each time, she got the maximum possible score, answering
every question correctly.
When she was interviewed regarding this, she revealed that she did not actually know the
answers to any of the questions; but instead she had seen the tests with the answers already
filled in.
When she was given a computerised IQ test, where her input didn't affect the future state
of where she entered the answers , because she was using a keyboard rather than a pen
and paper, her IQ was revealed to be 97, slightly below average.
This happens with every written test presented to her.
She can see the answers in advance, based on what she herself is going to fill in, even
if the tests are in a foreign language she does not understand.
This presents a possible ontological paradox - an injection into the present of information
from the future.
Where this information, the correct answers, comes from is unknown, and possibly unknowable.
She is suffering from ongoing psychological damage as a result of her anomaly, when, for
instance, she is in the company of people who are soon to die, she simultaneously sees
both their living, healthy selves, and their dead, sometimes decomposing corpses, depending
on how far into the future they will die.
As a result, pharmacological assistance is required to keep her lucid.
Due to the effect that prolonged malnutrition is having on her health, and the impact that
187's death would have on the Foundation's medium-term emergency planning, she is to
be blindfolded during meals.
The woman has suffered from malnutrition due to her aversion to eating and drinking.
At times when she makes eye contact with food, she sees it in its later state, sometimes
as rotten garbage, sometimes as feces.
Similarly with liquid, there are times when she views it as urine.
Thus, mealtimes are to last no longer than 15 minutes, and must take place in a location
for which she has not predicted any significant changes.
This also brings to question how consistent her premonitions are, due to the unpredictability
of her view of food.
One example of one of her comments that turned out to be a prophecy was when she was being
examined by one of the Foundation's female doctors.
The conversation went as follows;
“Your ring.”
Said 187.
“My ring?”
Replied the Doctor.
“Yes, your wedding ring.”
“What about it?”
“You're not wearing it.”
“I am, look, it's right there.”
“You won't be.”
The following day the doctor’s husband filed for divorce.
When she returned for duty, she was no longer wearing her wedding ring.
She had been married for 19 years, more than half her life, so wearing the ring was considered
'normal', and not wearing the ring was enough of an abnormality for SCP-187 to see it.
There are also examples of when she foresaw the death of some D class personnel.
In the case of D-16124 she asked “Why is he so swollen?”
D-16124 was later exposed to the vacuum of space after being sent through SCP-120 in
order to 'dial' it to the next destination.
In the case of D-16198 the following conversation took place;
SCP-187: “He's cute.”
Interviewer: Who?
The man standing outside that cell?
“Yes.
What's his name?”
“I don't know.
Hey, you there.”
D-16198 turned to face them, at which point SCP-187 gasped and burst into tears, screaming,
"He's going to die!"
“He will?
How do you know?”
“He's got a massive hole in the left-hand side of his head.”
D-16198 was later terminated by gunfire while attempting to escape the site.
He may have attempted escape due to SCP-187's screaming, implying that she can set so-called
self-fulfilling prophecies in motion.
She also managed to foresee the escape of another one of the SCP creatures.
It was whilst she was being escorted through the site by Dr Klein.
When she reached the cell of the creature she stopped outside the door, she was staring
at it intently, Dr Klein asked her what she was looking at, to which she replied,
“How did it break through such a heavy door?”
“Excuse me?”
Asked Dr Klein.
“That door is nearly a foot thick.
How did it manage to destroy it?”
17 hours later, the SCP creature somehow managed to work free of its restraints, and did indeed
tear through the door to its cell.
However, Dr. Klein had alerted security due to SCP-187's statements, so an armed response
team was ready, and managed to subdue the creature with gunfire.
The cost of keeping a full-time medical team on hand to ensure her well-being is obviously
high; however, the fact that her anomaly allowed the prevention of an escape attempt by another
creature, a Keter-class subject, shows that she may be useful for more than just pure
research.
A proposal has been submitted to introduce her to seemingly-indestructible SCPs, in the
hopes that she will 'see' them as either dead or destroyed, and be able to describe the
manner of death/destruction.
This proposal is pending - the potential temporal logistics need careful consideration.
She would in effect be seeing methods of destruction/termination, which would only be possible because she saw
them.
This has caused concern among several higher members of staff.
A series of experiments have taken place in order to test the exposure of SCP-187 to other
SCP items.
These experiments have been conducted by Dr Gears, one of the Foundations leading Doctors.
The following are some examples of her reaction to other SCP items.
When she was exposed to SCP-003, at first she appeared nervous but then she said “hello”
to the creature.
She then appeared to engage in conversation with the creature, however no member of staff
was able to hear any speech or other auditory emanations from the creature.
When questioned, she responded that SCP-003 was “A very nice lady, she seems really
smart.”
Increased security and review of SCP-003 has now been requested.
Another example is when she was introduced to SCP-882.
She entered the containment area, and viewed the creature, then she moved back several
steps, and appeared to be in mild shock.
She was questioned, and responded “Jesus…it’s huge…this is…amazing.”
She stopped responding to questions and continued to stare at SCP-882 without blinking for three
minutes.
She had to be physically removed from the containment area to continue questioning,
she appeared dazed, and responded: “it’s so…I mean, it’s so complex…it’s sick,
with all the bones and blood in it, but it looks like the inside of a fifty-foot tall
clock.
It’s…kinda pretty.”
Shortly before she was returned to containment, she suddenly fell to the ground, screaming
and holding her head.
After several hours, during which she was heavily sedated and unresponsive to questioning,
she reported “grinding, smashing, squealing…it sounded like a train wreck that just went
on and on.”
SCP-187 reported the sound lasted for approximately three hours before fading out of hearing.
Increased security around SCP-882 has subsequently been requested.
What do you think of that SCP case?
