Bioglas - SCP-3598
rating: 0+x

Item #: SCP-3598

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3598 samples have been deemed Class V extreme biological hazards, and all related protocols apply. Samples of SCP-3598 are to be held in secure biological containment zones within G3 sites, housed in -173.5 degrees Celsius. Absolute zero temperatures shall be used on SCP-3598 in the of political or military action which may result in the facility being dismantled; a power failure; or zero communications from operatives or outside channels during any given eight hour period.

The quarantine period for operatives leaving the facility is ten (10) months. If a breach has occurred, once all personnel have been cleared of infection, freezing measures shall be deployed. It should be the top priority of all G3 sites housing SCP-3598 samples to prepare immediate evacuation and absolute zero temperatures.

Description: SCP-3598 is a bacterium of unknown genus, samples of which are stored in G3 sites in the Russian Federation, the North Pole, Greenland, and Antarctica. Research into SCP-3598 is highly classified and shall only be used for finding possible weaknesses of SCP-3598. Traits of SCP-3598 include:

  • 100% infectiousness.
  • 100% lethality.
  • Transmission through mucous and blood-to-blood contact.
  • Not airborne.
  • Able to survive in dirty water for up to four (4) weeks.

Symptoms of SCP-3598 infected manifest two (2) to four (4) hours after infection, and include:

  • Cold-like symptoms, with severe arthritis and diarrhea
  • Decreased immune system effectiveness
  • HIV/AIDS symptoms with severe tumors on skin.
  • Coma for 2 to 4 days. During coma, SCP-3598 will start to hijack the immune system through unknown means.
  • White blood cell attacks on muscles and cartilage.
  • Complete hijacking of the immune system - SCP-3598 will force all white blood cells to attack the skin and major organs. Infected will die within 15 seconds of total hijacking due to devouring of the brain, heart, bones, muscle, and other major systems of the body.

SCP-3598 shows a significant weakness to low temperatures, and has reportedly showed under 0.001% atom movement in absolute zero.
Addendum 3598-1: SCP-500 has shown to completely stop SCP-3598 immune system hijacking and all other symptoms in the later stages.
