Letter found in the office of O5-██ in the hands of the corpse of a Class 1 delivery agent.

Dear SCP O5 Council,
As the Foundation incompetence has not been accounted for, we are hereby proclaiming our existence. As a head start in your investigation, you may find reports of our activities in the Tokyo police file case D-347H-[DATA EXPUNGED], the local police of Lyon report 54-V3D-█████ and at the almost non-existent news article of the Chicago Sun-Times of ██/██/198█ (page 4 to spare you the effort of looking around aimlessly).
After doing your homework, you may also have the one time-only and limited offer to capture our… Ambassador (for lacking of a better word), who actually wrote this letter with his own hand (though the ink comes from a source better let unknown). He will be waiting at the ruins of a white house located 1.56 Km north of Site-48 (oh, we know a lot of your little pathetic organization… Truly, it is not a thing to get so worked with… oh, if you only knew…) a quiet and and far away place where you can act in privacy at the date of [DATA REDACTED].
The ambassador will offer no resistance if treated courteously and politely and will only accept capture after his terms are accepted. We strongly suggest that you act in accordance with him. He can be VERY unpleasant when mistreated. And blood may roll if that happens.
Hopefully everything will go peacefully
(if not, you know that you are the only ones who are to be blamed)

Sincerely yours,
Count Contagious.

Item #: SCP-1952

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: As of yet, only SCP-1952-3 was containable. It is Securely locked down in Containment unit- 5 at the Research Command-[DATA EXPUNGED] . Its quarters must be constantly replenished with information sources in printed format only and kept well furnished with Victorian style furniture (cleaning maintenance must be made twice in every week following the cleaning of containment unit 5 protocol) .

Contact with SCP-1952-3 is strictly forbidden. Any information extraction or research attempt with it must be authorized by at least three O5 representatives (O5-7 and O5-13 approvals are mandatory) and only Class 4 and above clearance staff may submit such request. When approaching SCP-1952-3, the authorized staff must be accompanied by no less than five (5) level 1 clearance staff with ears and nose completely isolated, armed with any lethal weaponry. On sight of infection, the staff have orders to terminate contaminated subject at will.

No direct tactual or eye contact with SCP-1952-3 may be attempted, on violation of this directive the personnel have clearance for termination.

Most important of all, the eyes of every person on the site must be visible at all times. Failing in comply with this directive may also result in termination.

As agreed with SCP-1952-3, any need for contact will only be granted through a calling button device, which will summon Dr ████ Walker to the room following the standard procedures.

The SCP-1952-3 Containment unit is a four (4) meters by four (4) meters by three (3) meters room with only one access door and no windows. The room must be observed by three (3) hidden surveillance cameras, which must function alternately in random order. Additionally all footage of SCP-1952-3 must be filtered at least three times at random oder by different trusted filtration softwares and first be exposed to a class D subject. In case that the subject shows any signs of infection, it must be terminated on sight. And the ten minutes of footage before and after the infection must be completely erased and the filtration software used at the time must be deinstalled.

There must be no audio recording devices.

The Door must be guarded by no less than three (3) level 1 clearance staff armed with lethal weaponry and ordered to terminate other staff on sight of infection.

This Containment unit is placed one hundred (100) meters under sea level with only one access corridor which can only be accessed through a destroyable elevator. The corridor must be equipped with a lethal security system of easy activation.

The whole Site is equipped equipped with a nuke device of total destruction for the case of a complete outbreak and/or breach attempted by SCP-1952-3.

The outside must be surveyed 24/7 by the special surveillance task force pi-4 (“The watchers”) which must stay on high alert for SCP-1952-1.

As for methods of avoiding SCP-1952-2 and/or becoming SCP-1952-1: Do not answer any calls nor open any e-mails coming from know SCP-1952-1, do not answer calls coming form the number 0800-6[DATA [DATA [DATA [DATA LOST]]]] nor open e-mails coming from [DATA LOST]@████.com address.

If any sound emitting electronic device starts to make a sound not unlike interference which start with three (3) low fast consecutive beeps, turn it of immediately and terminate everyone who might have heard it (yourself included). Be warned that SCP-1952-1 have been known to be capable of emitting this sound as well.

Description: SCP-1952 is an undefined being. It is know to be some sort of virulent pathogen of high intellect that do not destroy or physically harm its infected subjects.

There is some discussion as to name SCP-1952-1 as the infected themselves or the cause of the infection (if it exists). For now SCP-1952-1 is how the infected are called.

Every SCP-1952-1 act and show similar behavior patterns. They show intelligence and cunning not unlike SCP-1952-3, even if previously they had shown an history of aggression and ignorance. That includes but is not limited to human beings (refer to addendum 1952-01 3). they can pass themselves as common humans and animals of calm and pacific behavior with ease; and every act that broke their disguise culminated in a calculated and symbolic act of unknown purpose and in the termination of the SCP-1952-1.

Upon inspection of the corpses, no trace of any pathogen was found in any organ or fluid. Actually Humans and animals which became SCP-1952-1 have found themselves free of any preexistent illness condition. Beyond that, the only common trait that appeared in every single SCP-1952-1 is the change in the color of the subject's right eye's Iris. Regardless of what their irises previous color was, the right one assumed the sickly color of a poisonous green with dashes of yellow. This occurs as a side-effect of the infection as was observed in the inflicted staff.

There is also some discussion on the matter that most of the SCP-1952-1 corpses showed a well developed front lobe and it is still unclear weather this condition was caused by the contamination or if subjects with this condition are targeted by the pathogen (and as the contamination seems to be caused arbitrarily by SCP-1952-3, and no other source of the pathogen has been secured, there is no actual way to prove either one hypothesis or the other).

Additionally SCP-1952-1 appears to have a deliberate biological process of self termination which consist in the autolysis of neurons of the peripheral nervous system, causing the failing of the heart and lungs of the subject.

The means to turn one into SCP-1952-1 are so unorthodox for pathogenic behavior, that the specialists and researchers are still skeptical of Dr Walker affirmation that [DATA EXPUNGED].

It was Dr Walker who also theorized the existence of SCP-1952-2, which is the digital version of the pathogen, “an intelligent computer virus which infects biological organisms” said Walker. It is clear (at least to Dr Walker) that the means of infection are independent of anything but [DATA LOST]

SCP-1952-3 is what sets SCP-1952 from the rest of the Virulent diseases. It is unclear as whether this specimen is a one of a kind or not. It shows itself as (presumably) a male young adult humanoid of 1,86m and (assumed) 95 Kg. It wears the typical clothing of the English aristocracy of XVIII century with a top hat, fine velvet dark clothes and a monocle which covers its right eye. Its features suggests that it has Spanish ascendancy. As for facial hair, it shows a thin and long mustache and a narrow pointy beard.

Its manners are correspondent to the appearance as well. On the brief interrogations, it has showed itself knowledgeable in many fields of science, philosophy, politics and quotidian simple facts. Also, it showed since acquisition interest in any sort of information.

It is not clear how, but SCP-1952-3, as previously stated, seems to be capable to infect at will. The creature itself hinted that it was [DATA EXPURGED [See addendum 1952-02 interview 1952-3-03]]

Addendum 1952-01: excepts from the documents commented at the letter:

1.freely translated and commented except of case file D347-H-[DATA EXPUNGED] of the Tokyo police:

…The patterns are of a faded reddish, drawn inside a circle (the circle had a 3 m radius) of the same color. They appear to be some sort of combination of writing and drawing, but weren't understandable and still don't appear to be of any known language. (Those patterns, I checked, are not exactly unlike SCP-[DATA EXPUNGED] and [DATA REDACTED], though I cannot decide for one or another, could there be some connection of sorts?). At the exact center of the circle laid the corpse of the probable autor, Yuki █████, Male, 45, unemployed. His hands were covered with the dried red liquid, and was positioned so the limbs could connect with some of the patterns nearby.
The report from the autopsy said that the victim had died of a heart stop, though the cause for that is not yet clear. Additionally, it was reported the the victim had developed a genetic co-dominance, as the colors of his eyes didn't match. (In previous photos of the guy, both eyes had the same color, though his last photo before the death was taken two years before the event).
Forensic reports also that the liquid used as ink is indeed blood, but the result of the analysis were inconclusive as to whether it is human, animal or a mixture. (Actually, from the result of that analysis, which was attached to the file, the blood, if it could be called blood, comes from something else entirely. Could it be some SCP number that passed unchecked?)…

(Strangely enough, the pictures of the case have gone missing some time between the acquisition and the conclusion of this translation)

2.Freely translated except from the Local police of Lyon report 54-V3D-███████. Article of a local newspaper originally written by Pierre [DATA EXPUNGED]

at 3:45 am of ██/██/1994, Ms. Clair La Foux, 26, Medical student, came to report a murder attempt. The self-claimed victim showed hand-bruises on both wrist, and cuts made with a sharp object, which was claimed to be a knife, near the breasts and the waist. In distress, Ms. La Foux claimed: “I was fucking assaulted and almost fucking raped! While you fucking idiots who should be out, patrolling the streets, were doing nothing but sit in your fuckin' asses and getting fat on your fucking donuts, a breve soul! A hero! Came to my rescue and told me to call for you! The minimum you, co██ ████ers, should do now is to fucking go there save the fool!”
At 4:56 am, the police arrived at the crime scene, only one corpse with a knife on its left hand was found. The victim was later identified by the criminal database as Cristian Doumant, 25, arrested twice, once for robbery and the other time he was found guilty of the kidnapping and (supposedly) murder of three seven-year old children. The body and the whole scene was covered with blood, a too big quantity to belong to only one human being.
At first analysis, the victim seems to have died due to a grave cut wound in the abdominal area, which could have caused the victim to bleed to death. There were clear signs of struggle, but no hint as to where the other party had gone.
When questioned, Ms La Foux revealled, Surprisingly, that Doumant was the one who saved her.
Autopsy later revealed that Doumat had died due to a deterioration in his peripheral nervous system, which would have cause his heart and lungs to stop almost simultaneously, which prevented the Victim to bleed to death. Furthermore, forensic and laboratorial analysis stated that the blood belonged to four different persons. The database stated with a 76 percentage of certainty that theses four persons were Gerrad “La Faucheuse” Dioux, Jack “Le rouge” Bovah, Samuel [DATA EXPUNGED] and █████ ███████ collectively known as the “Rue d'Auseil Gang”, with a history of robbery, rape and murder. In addition to that, Ms. La Foux pointed them as the aggressors when their pictures were shown to her amongst other possible suspects.
The morgue reported that the amount of blood on the scene is conclusive to safely say that all four suspects are very likely deceased, though the location of the bodies remains a mystery. On a side note he also mentioned the curious and unexplained fact that Doumant's right eye changed its natural color to a green one. More details…

Last night the survivor of a car crash on the ██th mile of Route-[DATA REDACTED] reported in distress what could only be described as a delusion or a day-dream which caused the driver to panic and subsequently crash.
By his own and nervous telling of the facts, Mr Driver, whom wishes to remain anonymous, said that he sighted a winged creature of the size of a horse with human form (Could it be a specimen of SCP-[DATA REDACTED]? What was it doing so far away from its common habitat?) in desperate run from a pack of wolfs, crows and even reported the presence of some sort of great feline, all of then chasing ferociously this “creature”.
“That's not what is the must disturbing” Said Mr Driver “no, no, no. What's most disturbing 'bout diese animal pack was de eyes of de pack. Jesus Christ! Never thought dose dings could be dat scary if dey had de same eyes, but dey did.” And the last thing that he spoke was “dey were green”.

Addendum 1952-02: Reports on SCP-1952-3

Except extracted from the audio attached to the report given to Central on the capture of SCP-1952-3

Oz█████: Finally, you bastard, finally we caught ya!
SCP-1952-3: Finally! I was getting… Tired of waiting for you to come
Oz█████: Don't gimme that crap, You're surrounded in more ways than you can imagine!
SCP-1952-3: Oh, really? What do your… friends… have to say about this?
Oz█████: What d'ya mean by… Fredy…? Why're'ya pointin' dis ting to me? Wong..? Hans too…!? Com'on, guys it's not time for dis sh…
SCP-1952-3: We are not interested in what you have to say, young one… Now, to deal with my… Accommodations. You know, a being like myself has… Special needs you might say, very special indeed.
Oz█████: Name ye terms…
SCP-1952-3: Thought you'd say that, now that's a good lad. To start with, you may start to put me in a nice chat with the commander…

interview 1952-3-01:
Interviewed: SCP-1952-3
Interviewer: Dr ████ Walker
foreword: The motives

Dr Walker: I hope that you have found this quarters to your satisfaction
SCP-1952-3: Oh, quite! So Mister… Doctor Walker, to what do I have the humble pleasure of the visit?
Dr Walker: I was wondering why did you surrender and let yourself being dragged to this place.
SCP-1952-3: To be brought right here under the terms to which we all oblige.
Dr Walker: But… To what purpose?
SCP-1952-3: Oh, There are so many layers under this act, Doctor, That I doubt that your underdeveloped brain would be able to take it all.
Dr Walker: Well, try me.
SCP-1952-3: Watch your words, doctor walker, the last person I tried is not… quite himself anymore… Like that poor girl right beside you.
Dr Walker: …! …How did you…?
SCP-1952-3: It is the way of the world, doctor. If anything else we are all servants, I just made her realize to whom she serves…
Dr Walker: … to you?!
SCP-1952-3: (Laugh sound accompanied by a feminine one) My apologies, Doctor, My apologies… But to think that you thought of me as a… Mastermind of sorts is so… Hilarious… I am, as well, just a servant… Just the humble servant of something… Marvelous…
Dr Walker: Which is…?
SCP-1952-3: Now that would be telling. But don't you worry, doctor. The only reason why the whole Humanity isn't as this girl that is right…
(Sound of gun shot)
…That was right beside me, is because that's not what we are aiming for, no, doctor, this way of thinking is far from the truth. Every act of ours is a well thought one in a bloody and subtle game, one that is far from ending and grander than your limited sights can see… And each piece has a purpose. Even me.
Dr Walker: But… What about that woman just now, dead by the floor. Did she also had a purpose?!
SCP-1952-3: But of course, Doctor. How can you properly fear something you're not aware of? How can you properly fear the unknown, when you don't know that it truly exists?… Keep it in mind that we all have a purpose, Doctor, some are grander than the other, and, say, if you pull the trigger of this gun you're pointing at me, do you know what happens?
Dr Walker: I guess I'm about to find out.
SCP-2000-3: Indeed, for I'll tell you: I would fall on the floor, dead. You'll would lose the only alive specimen of my kind you'll ever get. And another like me would rise to fulfill what I could not.
Dr Walker: It… Can't be… You're… You're…
SCP-2000-3: For I am but just an ideal, Doctor, a contagious ideal, true enough, but an ideal nonetheless. And Ideals are bullet proof.
