Item #: SCP-526
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Armed Containment Area-31 has been established in a 15 km radius
around SCP-526-1, which has been officially designated as a military weapon testing site
and proving ground with a no-fly zone in effect.
A company-sized element is stationed at Station 526-Alpha to observe and contain the appearance
of anomalous subjects from SCP-526-1 and is authorized to use deadly force in self-defense
or in order to contain SCP-526.
Approximately 30 minutes before dawn, all containment teams must be at full alert and
must remain on alert until sunset or such time that all instances of SCP-526-2 have
been terminated or otherwise rendered harmless.
In case of overwhelming hostile contact, additional reinforcements may be requested by ACA-31
Command from Mobile Task Force Sigma-9 ("Valkyries"), including artillery strikes and close air
support if necessary.
Description: SCP-526-1 is a hill in the ████████ ██████ near █████████, Norway, centered
at ██.███°N, █.███°E. SCP-526-1 is easily identified by a ring of
nine (9) stones approximately 2 meters in height, with numerous runes inscribed on their
inward surface and placed in a 10 meter radius centered on the top of the hill.
Every day at sunrise (±15 minutes), a group of individuals will appear on SCP-526-1, designated
SCP-526-2, fully armed and combat-ready.
These individuals usually appear to be temporally displaced, but all individuals within a single
instance of SCP-526-2 will be from the same time period and appear to in fact be from
the same military unit.
Instances of SCP-526-2 have numbered from ten to three hundred, and have varied from
primitive humans armed only with stone weapons to modern special forces units with sophisticated
equipment.
SCP-526-2 will typically fortify themselves on or around SCP-526-1, and in 92% of instances
will simply remain stationary until sunset.
In the remaining instances, SCP-526-2 will move away from SCP-526-1 and attempt to attack
any individuals they encounter.
Even when SCP-526-2 is stationary, however, SCP-526-2 will attack anyone attempting to
approach SCP-526-1.
Armed containment teams are stationed on-site to observe SCP-526-1 and engage SCP-526-2
in case of aggression.
Immediately after sunset, all instances of SCP-526-2 will disappear, whether alive or
dead.
SCP-526 came to the Foundation's attention on ██/█/19██ after three individuals
were hospitalized after being attacked by "a bunch of Vikings with axes".
Class A amnestics were administered to the witnesses and additional reports have been
attributed to delusional intoxication.
