RECOVERED ARTIFACT: NOTEBOOK DESIGNATION: "MOORE-LOG-01"

During an archaeological dig at [REDACTED], SCP Foundation personnel recovered a scorched, Foundation-stamped field notebook buried beneath layers of sediment. Painstaking reconstruction revealed fragmented logs from Project Centureic: an ill-fated attempt to weaponize tachyon-based temporal displacement. They chronicled the catastrophic malfunction of the prototype device (known internally as the Tachyon Superfluid Drive) and the irreversible exile of Dr. Evelyn Moore, who was hurled nearly 1.8 billion years into the past during the so-called "Boring Billion." Her final entry, etched in frantic handwriting: “The machine works. The timeline does not forgive.”

Dr. Moore is now presumed dead.

After decades of and reverse-engineering, the Foundation has rebuilt the core from salvaged schematics and anomalous remnants. Project Centureic is now active once more. Testing resumes under extreme risk protocols.

You are D-2189, expendable asset and inaugural live subject.

Your assignment: enter the temporal conduit and emerge in Rome, 210 CE—mid-reign of the entity designated SCP-1732, the sapient lion who ruled as Emperor Septimius Leo.

Objective: confirm historical records, document behavioral patterns, assess potential timeline deviation risks, and—if possible—return with verifiable proof of his existence.

Failure to report back will be considered mission success by default.

The chamber is primed. The tachyon field is stable... for now.

Click the button then step through when ready, D-2189.

The past awaits...and it has claws.
