Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter [Instances are classified as Safe]

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX Is to be contained in a isolated test tube inside its holding cell, all wires and piped must remain at a fifty (50) feet away from the cell. Due to this the doors must be manual and the room illuminated from outside the radius. Any Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be contained together in a standard holding cell, should the number of instances rise about One hundred (100): the instances are to be moved to a larger cell. The personnel who move the instances must be armed with medium sized flashlights should a instance escape.

Description: SCP-XXXX Is a infection that effects any type of wire and pipe, the infection seems highly contagious and can spread to over four thousand (4000) wires and pipes per hour. Once infected the wire or pipe (here after refereed to SCP-XXXX-1) Will remain in a dormant state waiting for prey. Once a medium sized animal (including humans) comes across SCP-XXXX-1 in a ten (10) foot radius; SCP-XXXX-1 will become mobile and be able to break most things blocking its way to the subject (including concrete walls). SCP-XXXX-1 will move to the subject in a way similar to that of a snake, SCP-XXXX-1 will then incapacitate the subject by wrapping over said subject and injecting a unknown chemical into the subject's blood steam, the subject will then fall paralyzed onto the ground. Once the subject is restricted of movement; SCP-XXXX will begin to tear off pieces of flesh and clothing, pipes seem to "bite" off pieces and digest them inside the pipe, while wires seam to use their "tail" to tear off the skin, the skin then circles the wire and digests slowly, this continues until either the subject is dead or SCP-XXXX-1 is subdued by moderate amounts of constrained light why SCP-XXXX-1 is sensitive to light is unknown. SCP-XXXX-1

Further inspection of SCP-XXXX-1 has shown that all instances are covered in a dark substance that is resistant to all impact, furthermore looking at a instance of SCP-XXXX-1 on a microscopic level has shown that the particles of the original object will develop into what looks like a metallic variation of animal muscles on a microscopic level, This is theorized to be the reason infected objects move.

The Keter classification of SCP-XXXX is due to the contagiousness of SCP-XXXX it is estimated that if released will infect all the world's pipes and wires in a manner of 75 days, the number of wires and pipes in the world would be more then enough to wipe out all of humanity as well as many species of animals.
