Draft of the Now - "Foreign Neural Oscillation"


Item #: SCP-xxxx

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Populations affected by SCP-xxxx are extremely difficult to revert to a sane state, but from every instance at least one SCP-xxxx-1 should be rehabilitated for later interviewing. Currently the primary means of containing instances of SCP-xxxx-1 is execution.

MTF Kappa-07 (Crowd Control) is a company-sized task force that is the main contingency for suppressing SCP-xxxx-1, and are allowed to use biological and chemical weapons in order to deliver with its objective. Currently a Foundation satellite is utilized to monitor target regions of the planet for outbreaks of SCP-xxxx.

Description: SCP-xxxx is a complex "foreign" neural oscillation or brain wave, which is not naturally produced but comes into effect within the human brain from an external source. A possible source of SCP-xxxx has yet to be discovered, though SCP-xxxx does not take a physical form. Outbreaks of SCP-xxxx are "flares" or "storms" created within what is presumably the physical noosphere, which was previously thought to be theoretical.

SCP-xxxx primarily affects rural or other sparsely populated areas and takes place once every three (3) to ten (10) weeks. Although the form of SCP-xxxx is invisible and impossible to observe, people interviewed about the events describe symptoms of SCP-xxxx beginning "chill up their spine" before having their hair raise, similarly to the conditions leading up to a lightning strike. The affected subject then begins to feel loss of touch in their extremities which involuntarily constrict and contort. It is common for subjects to attempt to resist this effect, which usually results in violently colliding with objects or bones fracturing from torque of trying to hold down their limbs. Eventually SCP-xxxx then causes tachycardia to set in until the subject is unconscious which the subject (if recovered) will have no memory of the events afterward. This first stage of infection by SCP-xxxx compromises the subject's entire nervous system, but preserves intelligence and motor skills entirely. After this phase, humans that enter an area affected by SCP-xxxx will not be infected.

Following the first stage of infection by SCP-xxxx, affected populations are considered SCP-xxxx-1, and will be extremely dangerous towards each other and uninfected people as well. SCP-xxxx-1 will use any items to kill one another, including firearms and their knowledge of how to use them. It is typical for victims to be tortured by other SCP-xxxx-1, commonly being flayed, immolated or amputated in a gruesome manner. Soon after an entire community is destabilized by SCP-xxxx, SCP-xxxx-1 will become lose interest, and instead of killing each other congregate in a mob to seek other places to attack. SCP-xxxx-1 are unhindered in their murderous tendencies until they are neutralized or succumb to exhaustion, though they last slightly longer without sleep or sustenance than a typical human.

Specimens of SCP-SOAP-1, enlarged to show texture

Item #: SCP-SOAP

Object Class: Safe (pending Euclid)

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-SOAP is contained in a concrete room, measuring 6 meters in length and width and 3 meters in height. The room is kept dehumidified at all times, and no liquids are allowed inside of containment.

Only forty-nine instances of SCP-SOAP-1 at most are allowed to be kept in storage for scientific purposes. Storage consists of a refrigerated safe with capsules to fit SCP-SOAP-1 inside of, and is subject to intense ultraviolet light 24/7. In addition, any instances of SCP-SOAP-1 more than four weeks old should be incinerated, and any liquids exposed to SCP-SOAP-1 must be irradiated and disposed of.

Description: SCP-SOAP bears the physical appearance of a porcelain jar made to hold bathroom items. Embossed onto SCP-SOAP are the words "Bocal du Savon" and other floral designs. The texture of SCP-SOAP's surface is similar to that of porcelain, although microscopic sight shows that the porcelain is actually a conglomerate of bone and hard tissues, as well as [DATA EXPUNGED] matter. The material is extremely durable, taking several hours with a dental drill to extract a small portion.

SCP-SOAP will spawn a specimen of SCP-SOAP-1 periodically, lasting three hours to six days between generating SCP-SOAP-1. SCP-SOAP-1 appears to be an ordinary Lush Bath Bomb™, which can come to in many various colors and flavors. The texture of SCP-SOAP-1 does not differ from that of a Lush Bath Bomb™, although its composition is made up of millions of spores containing an incubating organism, labeled SCP-SOAP-2. The time it takes for the effect to occur depends on the consistency of the liquid it is exposed to, particularly solvent properties and temperature. This makes hot bathwater an ideal vessel for SCP-SOAP-1.

When SCP-SOAP-1 is put into a body of water, the object will begin a process. As SCP-SOAP-1 dissolves, the spores within it release SCP-SOAP-2 and aerosolize an unknown and invisible compound, breathed in by unsuspecting humans inside of the water. The compound causes victims to experience lethargy and muscular relief to a degree that causes the victim to go into a state of deep sleep. After which the victim has been rendered to lower consciousness, SCP-SOAP-2 will travel into its host's bloodstream via skin pores, where it will multiply exponentially and feed on organic matter. When the colony of SCP-SOAP-2 are "finished" with their prey, it will travel into a drain and into the sewer, where sewage treatment is insufficient in sterilizing SCP-SOAP-2 and travel to other households. SCP-SOAP-2 is destroyed instantly when exposed to ultraviolet light and briefly glows in its presence.

Addendum-SOAP-01: SCP-SOAP was discovered in ██████ after a family reported a foul odor coming from their adjacent household. When an inspector entered the house, a putrefied body covered in thickened foam was found inside of the bathroom, missing most of its internal organs and outer skin. After retrieving the body and searching the residence, [DATA EXPUNGED] of the plumbing. This required the Foundation to evacuate the every resident within a block around it, using the conveniently high amount of hydrogen sulphide and ammonia in the air.
