Note: This chapter is set on Earth-2, roughly three months after Focalor created the hurricane.
In an apartment near the outskirts of Sakurami City, a man in a white lab coat was typing on a laptop. He looked around at his companions, men who normally wore combat gear and were armed to the teeth, who were now joking around and playing Poker. The man sighed. Was he the only one who cared about what was going on here?
It had been almost a year since they were unexpectedly thrown into this reality. Really, he should have known something strange was going to happen when instead of a "normal" anomalous object appearing at the site in Tennessee, a guy who spoke Latin showed up out of thin air.
He still wondered why they were sent to Japan, of all places, and not an alternate reality's Tennessee. He theorized that it had something to do with all of the anomalous activity happening in Sakurami. It could also have had something to do with the man, a researcher, being Japanese himself (with some British ancestry on his mother's side).
The last thing the researcher remembered is that he and his companions were escorting a unit of MTF Sigma-66 to the Tennessee site in order to pick up their new recruit, the Latin-speaking man. There was a flash of light, and suddenly they were in an alley in Sakurami. MTF Sigma-66 and the Latin-speaking man were nowhere to be found.
He hoped that the MTF and the Latin-speaking man (they never learned his name) were still in their reality, where they were supervised. Of course, the researcher learned a long time ago that most hope was false. He never understood why his superiors thought making a Mobile Task Force comprised of captured members of various Groups Of Interest was a good idea. If they were in this reality, and if they were all together, then it was possible that the GOC member they had recruited had killed the other members of the unit.
But probably not. Again, the researcher had a philosophy of false hope.
He began to look over the document he had typed up:
Proposed Item #: SCP-4000
Proposed Object Class: Safe
Proposed Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4000-01-A, -02-A, -03-A, -04-A, -05-A, -06-A, -07-A, -08-A, -09-A, -10-A, -11-A, -12-A, and -13-A (collectively referred to as "Future Diaries") are to be kept in a standard Safe-class object locker, and are to be monitored by at least one armed guard at all times.
SCP-4000-01-B, -02-B, -03-B, -04-B, -05-B, -06-B, -07-B, -08-B, -09-B, -10-B, -11-B, -12-B, and -13-B (collectively referred to as the "Diary Holders") are to be kept in separate standard humanoid containment cells and fed regularly.
Description: The Future Diaries are, as the name implies, thirteen (13) diaries that predict the future through varying methods. Surveillance on the Diary Holders' house (SCP-4006-01) has revealed the following information:
SCP-4000-01-A: Also referred to as the "Random Diary", SCP-4000-01-A is a cellphone in the possession of SCP-4000-01-B. SCP-4000-01-A details current and future events of the surroundings of SCP-4000-01-B. It is based on SCP-4000-01-B's thoughts; in other words, SCP-4000-01-B only sees what he considers to be a possible future, rather than the objective future if he has not considered it to be possible. It does not tell SCP-4000-01-B of what will happen to him specifically, only what will happen around him.
SCP-4000-02-A: Also referred to as the "Yukiteru Diary", SCP-4000-02-A is a cellphone in the possession of SCP-4000-02-B. SCP-4000-02-A details current and future events relevant to SCP-4000-01-B, updated every ten (10) minutes. It does not tell SCP-4000-02-B of what will happen to her specifically, unless it is relevant to SCP-4000-01-B.
SCP-4000-03-A: Also referred to as the "Murder Diary", SCP-4000-03-A is a cellphone in the possession of SCP-4000-03-B. SCP-4000-03-A details the current locations and names of people that SCP-4000-03-B will murder. It does not tell SCP-4000-03-B of his victims' future actions.
SCP-4000-04-A: Also referred to as the "Criminal Investigation Diary", SCP-4000-04-A is a cellphone in the possession of SCP-4000-04-B. SCP-4000-04-A details all crimes that will be investigated by by SCP-4000-04-B within the next ninety (90) days; in other words, nearly three (3) months. It does not detail the investigations of anyone else, only SCP-4000-04-B.
SCP-4000-05-A: Also referred to as the "Hyper Vision Diary", SCP-4000-05-A is a coloring book in the possession of SCP-4000-05-B. SCP-4000-05-A details all events that will take place during the current day, with three (3) updates being given at once in the same day. The first update will consist of the events that will happen between 12:00 AM and 11:59 AM, the second will consist of the events that will happen at 12:00 PM, and the third will consist of events that will happen between 12:01 PM and 11:59 PM. SCP-4000-05-B must wait until the next day for any more updates.
SCP-4000-06-A: Also referred to as the "Clairvoyance Diary", SCP-4000-06-A is a scroll in the possession of SCP-4000-06-B. SCP-4000-06-A details all current events witnessed by members of the Omekata Cult (note: this currently only applies to SCP-4000-07-B, SCP-4000-08-B, and Orin Miyashiro; see SCP-4000-06-B's entry and SCP-4006-03 for more details). Updates are subjective, based on what the cult members believe they are seeing, rather than what they are actually seeing. As there are many former members of the Omekata Cult still alive who are no longer affected by SCP-4000-06-A, it is possible that members were only affected due to having a close relationship with SCP-4000-06-B; when the cult was disbanded, SCP-4000-06-B continued her relationships with SCP-4000-07-B, SCP-4000-08-B, and Orin Miyashiro, explaining how they are still affected.
SCP-4000-07-A: Also referred to as an "Exchange Diary", SCP-4000-07-A is a cellphone in the possession of SCP-4000-07-B. SCP-4000-07-A details future events that will happen to SCP-4000-08-B.
SCP-4000-08-A: Also referred to as an "Exchange Diary", SCP-4000-07-A is a cellphone in the possession of SCP-4000-08-B. SCP-4000-08-A details future events that will happen to SCP-4000-07-B.
SCP-4000-09-A: Also referred to as the "Blog Diary", SCP-4000-09-A is a server that can be accessed by a laptop in the possession of SCP-4000-09-B. Unlike the other Future Diaries, it has no precognitive abilities; instead, it can create "Apprentice Diaries", which are Future Diaries that are not connected to their users, unlike Future Diaries. It is unknown how SCP-4000-09-B came into possession of this knowledge; the possibility of Apprentice Diaries already existing is one theory, and will eventually be looked in to.
SCP-4000-10-A: Also referred to as the "Escape Diary", SCP-4000-10-A is a cellphone in the possession of SCP-4000-10-B. SCP-4000-10-A details any necessary escape route available to SCP-4000-10-B and how to utilize the escape route.
SCP-4000-11-A: Also referred to as the "Breeder Diary", SCP-4000-11-A is a cellphone in the possession of SCP-4000-11-B. SCP-4000-11-A has the ability to control any Canis lupus familiaris (domestic dog) and details future events relevant to the controlled dog(s). While the control ability is based on concentration (in other words, one dog can be controlled completely, while many dogs can be controlled only slightly unless the user is significantly mentally disciplined), the number of dogs it can control seems to be unlimited.
SCP-4000-12-A: Also referred to as the "Watcher", SCP-4000-12-A is a tablet in the possession of SCP-4000-12-B. SCP-4000-12-A details all entries in any Diary, including both Future and Apprentice Diaries. It does not detect false entries, making it vulnerable to misinformation. Unlike all other Diaries, it does not state the circumstances of the user's possible death ("Dead End").
SCP-4000-13-A: Also referred to as the "Justice Diary", SCP-4000-12-A is an audio recorder in the possession of SCP-4000-13-B. SCP-4000-13-A details all crimes that SCP-4000-13-B will stop or attempt to stop. It also has the ability to hypnotize people into fitting SCP-4000-13-B's perception of a righteous person.
All Future Diaries have three similarities: the maximum limit of their precognitive abilities is ninety (90) days, or nearly three (3) months; all of them (excluding SCP-4000-12-A) have the ability to warn their users with the phrase "Dead End" if their possible death is imminent; and all of them are connected to their Holders (if the Diary is destroyed, its Holder will die). If the Holder dies before the Diary is destroyed, the Diary will remain functional. Each Diary was given to its Holder by SCP-4003, who used SCP-4000-12-B's technology as a conduit for divine energy, which gave the Diaries their abilities as well as connecting them to their Holders.
The Diary Holders are thirteen (13) people who each possess a Diary:
SCP-4000-01-B: Yukiteru Amano, also known as "First", "Yuki", and "Y2K", is a fifteen (15) year old Japanese male, with British ancestry from both parents. He has black hair, blue eyes, is 5'3'' (161 cm) tall, and weighs 117 lbs (53 kg). SCP-4000-01-B has an insecure, impulsive, and generally rude personality. He is highly protective of SCP-4000-02-B. He has an average IQ. He is currently the boyfriend of SCP-4000-02-B. He has attempted to kill SCP-4000-02-B's parents, due to their abuse of SCP-4000-02-B; could become dangerous if SCP-4000-02-B is contained before he is. Could possibly be contained using his mother and SC-4000-02-B as hostages.
SCP-4000-02-B: Yuno Gasai, also known as "Second", is a fifteen (15) year old Japanese female. She has pink hair, pink eyes (both seemingly natural; as nobody has commented on this being unusual, it can be assumed that this is normal for this universe), is 5'3'' (159 cm) tall, and weighs 108 lbs (49 kg). SCP-4000-02-B has an affable personality, is somewhat socially awkward, and suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and schizophrenia. She is protective of SCP-4000-01-B. She has an above-average IQ. She is currently the girlfriend of SCP-4000-01-B. She has killed both of her parents due to their abuse of her; could become dangerous if provoked. Could possibly be contained using SCP-4000-01-B as a hostage. Her nightmares led to the discovery of SCP-4005.
SCP-4000-03-B: Takao Hiyama, also known as "Third" and the "Sakurami Ripper", is a thirty-one (31) year old Japanese male, with British ancestry from both parents. He has auburn hair, green eyes, is roughly 5'7'' (172 cm) feet tall, and weighs roughly 130 lbs (59 kg). SCP-4000-03-B is sadistic, egotistical, and paranoid. He has killed six (6) people, one (1) boy and five (5) women, and has injured one (1) girl. He has previously attempted to kill SCP-4000-01-B, SCP-4000-02-B, SCP-4000-10-B, and SCP-4000-13-B. He has an above-average IQ. Highly dangerous. He has died several times (always due to his own mistakes) and has been resurrected repeatedly by SCP-4002.
SCP-4000-04-B: Keigo Kurusu, also known as "Fourth", is a thirty-one (31) year old Japanese male. He has black hair, hazel eyes,, a light beard, is 6'0'' (183 cm) tall, and weighs 150 lbs (68 kg). SCP-4000-04-B has a calm, stoic personality, and rarely becomes emotionally distressed. As the Chief Inspector of the Sakurami City Police Department, he is trained in firearms, and is to be considered dangerous. Average IQ.
SCP-4000-05-B: Reisuke Houjou, also known as "Fifth" and "Rei", is a five (5) year old Japanese male, with Scottish ancestry from both parents. He has green eyes, red hair, is roughly 3'1'' (94 cm) tall, and weighs roughly 58 lbs (26 kg). While having a somewhat appropriate personality for a child his age, SCP-4000-05-B is occasionally more mature than other young children, which likely developed out of necessity due to his neglectful parents. He has the highest IQ of the Diary Holders, and is to be considered dangerous. He is highly knowledgeable about chemistry, and may be armed with chemical weapons.
SCP-4000-06-B: Tsubaki Kasugano, also known as "Sixth", "Lady Omekata", and the "Sacred Eye", is a fifteen (15) year old Japanese female. She has purple eyes (could be a genetic mutation, acting as a symptom of her nearsightedness), dark blue hair (apparently normal for this universe), is roughly 5'3'' (159 cm) tall, and weighs roughly 80 lbs (36 kg). Unlike the others, she does appear to be anomalous in a separate way from being connected to SCP-4000-06-A; she is addicted to nicotine, alcohol, and multiple illegal drugs, and has had a deliberate overdose at one point, yet seems to suffer no ill effects. This is currently theorized to be a genetic mutation, related to a similar mutation in the DNA of famous musician Ozzy Osbourne. In addition, despite being extremely promiscuous, she has shown no signs of sexually-transmitted infection. It is currently unknown whether this is due to condom usage, or another mutation. She is nearsighted and appears malnourished; she suffers from depression, her aforementioned addictions, and bulimia. She has a somewhat nihilistic personality, although she seems to be becoming gradually more optimistic with the arrival of SCP-4001, her current boyfriend. She has a slightly above-average IQ, and a knowledge of the occult. Likely to be one the more easily captured Diary Holders, unless she manages to utilize her occult knowledge against us. She has killed thirty (30) members of her former cult, as revenge for the killing of her parents and for raping her daily for several years.
SCP-4000-07-B: Marco Ikusuba, also known as "Seventh" (a title shared with his girlfriend, SCP-4000-08-B), is a twenty-five (25) year old Japanese male, with some Italian ancestry on his mother's side. He has brown eyes, brown hair, is roughly 6'0'' (183 cm) tall, and weighs roughly 170 lbs (77 kg). He has an arrogant, energetic personality, and is protective of SCP-4000-08-B. He is skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and has an average IQ. He has killed ten (10) people in the past as revenge for the rape of SCP-4000-08-B, and is to be considered dangerous.
SCP-4000-08-B: Ai Mikami, also known as "Seventh" (a title shared with her boyfriend, SCP-4000-07-B), is a twenty-five (25) year old Japanese female. She has purple eyes (a darker shade than SCP-4000-06-B, therefore not ruling out the nearsightedness symptom theory), dark blue hair (similar to SCP-4000-06-B), is roughly 5'6' (168) cm tall, and weighs roughly 121 lbs (55 kg). She has a kind personality, being one of the more "normal" Diary Holders, and has an average IQ. She is skilled with knives, and is to be considered dangerous.
SCP-4000-09-B: Kamado Ueshita, also known as "Eighth", is a forty-one (41) year old Japanese female. She has green eyes, black hair, is roughly 5'10'' (178) cm tall, and weighs roughly 170 lbs (77 kg). She has a kind, motherly personality, having cared for numerous orphans in the past. She also cares for the younger Diary Holders, especially SCP-4000-05-B. She has an average IQ, and is the only Diary Holder that is not dangerous in any way. She will be the easiest Diary Holder to contain.
SCP-4000-10-B: Minene Uryu, also known as "Ninth", is a twenty-seven (27) year old Japanese female. She has one purple eye (a slightly darker shade than SCP-4000-06-B, and a slightly lighter shade than SCP-4000-08-B; her left eye was destroyed in Incident-4001), purple hair, is 5'6'' (168 cm), and weighs 121 lbs (55 kg). She is a former terrorist, motivated by anti-religious extremism, and has an estimated body count of at least one hundred (100). She has a cynical, impolite, somewhat hostile personality, with several right-wing, anti-Semitic, and Islamophobic views. She has an above-average IQ, suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and is highly skilled in explosives. She is considered to be the most dangerous of the Diary Holders, and will likely be the hardest to contain.
SCP-4000-11-B: Karyuudo Tsukishima, also known as "Tenth", is a forty-six (46) year old Japanese male. He has brown eyes, grey hair, a mustache, is roughly 6'0'' (183 cm) tall, and weighs roughly 150 lbs (68 kg). He has a stoic, borderline sociopathic personality, and is an anarcho-capitalist. He has an average IQ and is dangerous due to SCP-4000-11-A's abilities.
SCP-4000-12-B: John Bacchus, also known as "Eleventh", is a fifty-seven (57) year old Italian male, with some German ancestry on his mother's side. He has grey eyes, is bald, is roughly 5'11'' (180 cm) tall, and weighs roughly 110 lbs (50 kg). He is the former mayor of Sakurami City, and has an elitist, generally unpleasant personality, with several Neo-Nazi views. He has an above-average IQ, and is the top priority for capture due to SCP-4000-12-A's abilities.
SCP-4000-13-B: Yomotsu Hirasaka, also known as "Twelfth", is a thirty-one (31) year old Japanese male, with British ancestry from both of his parents. He has brown eyes (with cataracts), brown hair, is roughly 6'0'' (183 cm) tall, and weighs roughly 130 lbs (59 kg). He has a highly justice-oriented worldview, almost to the point of extremism. He believes that anyone in need should be helped by him, as the judicial system often fails them. He has an average IQ, and is average in hand-to-hand combat. He is believed to have killed six (6) people, each of them while they were in the middle of committing a criminal act.
Each Diary Holder shares the anomalous property of being connected to their Diaries. Live capture of the Holders is recommended, but unnecessary; the Diaries are to be considered top priority. SCP-4000-06-B and SCP-4000-12-B are currently running in the Sakurami mayoral election (see SCP-4007 for more details).
