Analyst's Log Entry #3: While I'm so far unsure of the specific peripheral effects caused by the SCP I've been assigned to monitor, this is clearly a Keter-class cognito-hazard at the time of this entry (formerly Euclid).

I have determined that the object in question is an occult resurrection ritual of some type. Requiring the participation of three individuals or simulated characters repeating the chant (in their native Japanese) demonstrated in the video, along with various unknown factors, objects and mechanisms involved.

My Lead Researcher has ordered me to attempt replicating the ritual, and I've stalled him for as long as I can. My translator and expert auditory specialist, a Mr. [Redacted] transferred from an SCP substation in [Redacted], Japan was found unconscious in a pool of his own blood 0.6 miles outside of our modest research site at 0610 hours this morning. He could not be revived. My Lead Researcher has since remotely ordered me to proceed in 96 hours using the complete information in Mr. [Redacted] notes and to record this incident as a suspected homicide perpetrated by a squad dispatched from an unspecified rival of the SCP Foundation.

I refused and have yet to reestablish contact with my Lead Researcher. The SCP Agents and Technicians on site have unanimously agreed to cover my escape and attempt to disrupt any further access to this anomaly by the SCP Foundation, but I'm no fool:

The next step, failing my full and unquestioning cooperation, is to frame me and anyone proven to be collaborating with me for the "murder" of Mr. [Redacted]. In hindsight, I could have stalled my Lead Researcher again by feigning my agreement to prepare for the ritual replication, but what's done is done. Our research site is deep in rural Nebraska, but that still isn't remote enough. For anyone who comes across this only copy of my final log entry, I have entrusted it to Sr. Agent [Redacted], and only him. Should anyone else hand you this entry willingly, vacate the area immediately and seek out my presence at the abandonded SCP stations in Uzbekistan or Papua New Guinea; either way, they will be difficult to reach, but not to locate if anyone knows what they're actually looking for.

I have no real plan, and even fewer prayers, so I must instead abandon my post. This ritual cannot be replicated successfully, and especially en masse, but I fear that it is too late to stop that eventuality.
