Item #: Dr. Clef's Proposal
Object Class: Euclid/Keter
Laconic Containment Procedures: Keep an eye on it from Site-0 and don't interact with it beyond testing. If it starts moving, specific personnel are to execute the "Patmos Emergency Orders," which are undescribed. The Foundation encourages religious personnel to entrust a copy of their data to an atheist subordinate in case the Rapture happens.
Laconic Description: SCP-001 is an angel with a flaming sword hotter than the sun guarding the gate of the Garden of Eden from the biblical Old Testament, located where the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers meet. If you approach it and refuse its orders to turn around, it instantly slashes and vaporizes you. At one point, SCP-001 told a man to "prepare" without context, eventually leading him to form the SCP Foundation.
At one point, the Foundation receives a message from Site-0 saying that SCP-001 is moving and that the Rapture is beginning, and mentions several SCPs, including Cain and Able, due to their religious significance. This message is determined to have been sent from the future, implying that the Rapture is coming and set to occur at an upcoming, undisclosed date.
