Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1040 must be confined within the temple in ██████ as it was originally found. It must never leave its pedestal and must be kept secure by at least four armed guards in case of ██████
SCP-1040-1-6 must be kept in a small room 3 meters x 3 meters x 3 meters covered in screens that play a continuous static. Should the static broadcast ever stop on any of the screens at least four people are sent to fix it, including a technician and two guards, almost all recording of 1040-1-6 are garbled and show nothing but static, and as such recording inside the containment isn't advised.
SCP-1040 is a mirror 6 feet tall and 2 feet across bordered by Cyprus wood. The reflective surface of the mirror appears to be composed of a static similar to TV constantly moving around inside the mirror. Personal near the mirror note that a sound of extremely loud white noise coming from the inside. Prolonged listening proves detrimental to human psychology with the listener having trouble discerning between the books static or normal static. Occasionally an entity may be seen pounding on the glass of the window. Interestingly, organic material making contact with the surface of the mirror will phase through the surface, and will displace to a location deemed █-████.
Discovered by Dr. ██████ in 19██ on a vacation to ██████ near the ███████ mountains in a remote temple, local residents have shown to be aware of the temple, claiming it's use for generations. Locals have shown an intense fear of the temple. Interestingly, while residents claim the temple was active to the day of it's finding by SCP agents, citing intense lights and sounds from the interior, forensics have proven that the last human inside the temple was over 200 years ago. Information on the cult is sparse however near SCP-1040 agents discovered a book containing thousands of pages written in a cipher. Very few pages have been decoded, the pages that have, however, reveal much information on SCP-1040 as well as █-████, of note is a ritual described in the last pages of the book, describing sacrifices being sent into █-████ after reaching a certain age.
After the events of EXPERIMENT 1040-██████████████ a total of 6 beings have been released from SCP-1040, now referred to as SCP-1040-1-6, these beings resemble humans, and range in height from 4' to 7'. These entities are all composed of the static seen inside the mirror. How the static manages to stay in it's form is unknown. All entities seen have shown sentience, and capable of speech. Though violence and contempt has been noticed from the entities, they are more often reserved and quiet, preferring to be left alone. More information can be found inside SCP-1040-1-6 logs and 1040-1-6 interviews.
Attempts to record 1040-1-6 have met with considerable difficulty, video and audio recordings prove impossible to comprehend, only appearing or sounding as white noise or static. However thanks to the study and research by Dr. █████ before his [DATA EXPUNGED] audio can be decoded through repeated run-throughs of a program of Dr. █████'s own design, however his program and the methods behind it's decryption are not understood, research is ongoing.
