 Item No. 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 in Station 526-Alpha to observe and contain the appearance of anomalous subjects from SCP-526-1, and is authorized to use deadly forces 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 reinforces 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 on the ██████ near ██████, Norway, centered at ██████. SCP-526-1 is easily identified by a ring of nine stones approximately 2 m in height, with numerous runes inscribed on their inward surface and placed in a 10 m radius centered on the top of the hill. Every day at sunrise, 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 10 to 300 and have varied from primitive humans armed only with stone weapons to modern Special Forces units with sophisticated equipment. SCP-526-2 are typically fortified themselves on or around SCP-526-1, and a 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. Self-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-526-2 came to the Foundation's attention on ████, after three individuals were hospitalized or 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.
