=== This scenario is actually way more explosive than the black hole one. ===

Let’s break it into cases:

==== Paradox? ====
No.

096 doesn’t give a shit about paradox.
The logic of its anomaly supersedes causality.

So:
* the target dies
* the future changes
* you get a spontaneous retroactive breach
* memory changes
* containment logs rewrite
* events rewire with 096’s action as the anchor point

096 becomes a temporal fixed point, like a knot in history.

==== This is the nastiest one. ====

If the past-kill prevents the future “face exposure,”
096 still remembers the directive.

Meaning:

===== This creates a time-loop recursion: =====
* 096 must kill the target
* but 096 also erased the moment that caused the chase
* so the chase cannot end
* but the directive cannot cancel
* but the past is altered
* but the anomaly persists
* so 096 becomes temporally unanchored

You just created SCP-096-∞, a time-untethered rage-state.

This is how you get an XK end-of-time scenario.

==== (You asked about 2 of them seeing each other, so here we are.)** ====

There are three interpretations SCP fans argue about:

===== 096 is hyperfocused. =====
They don’t perceive each other as targets.

Most boring outcome, but plausible.

===== Both trigger. =====
Both scream.
Both chase.
Both attack each other forever.

This doesn’t end in “they kill each other.”
It ends in:
* infinite acceleration
* infinite rage
* infinite recursion
* infinite attempt to eliminate the target
* neither can die
* both generate unlimited catastrophic energy
* spacetime collapses

This might be the single most destructive pairing in the SCP mythos.

===== Because anomalies sometimes collapse into a single meta-state. =====

Two 096s would combine into a composite where:
* targeting becomes multithreaded
* rage becomes compounded
* acceleration becomes nonlocal
* existence becomes paradox-proof
* the directive becomes absolute across timelines

This is the version that scares even the Overseers.
