BY ORDER OF SITE-17 ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT
THIS FILE IS SUBJECT TO LEVEL 4 CLASSIFICATION
LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE IS REQUIRED
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Replacement of the chamber for quarantining SCP-XXXX infected subjects were shifted to Basement-4 level sector B73, located within Site 17. All personnel and staff are mandated to wear full protective clothing from SCP-SD Department capable of protecting stage 3 Class V bio-hazardous entities. Those who caused the breach due to their poor handling and improper procedure will be barred from operating any further SCPs. Site-17 is to be immediately quarantined when SCP-XXXX breaches. Personnel in Site-17 at the time of quarantine are deemed killed in action, and no attempt to recover them is to be made.
SCP-XXXX is extremely contagious and infectious. Unequipped staffs and personnel within Site 17 is discouraged to go down the basement level without any protective clothing. No one is allowed to have their respiratory body parts exposed (mouth, nose, etc.) after entering basement level. Personnel without any protective gears are recommended to be at least 32.5 meters away from the proximity of SCP-XXXX's containment chamber. Should anyone gets infected, medical assistants should wear protective clothing and bring the victim directly into SCP-XXXX chamber. Daily cleaning and maintenance of the quarantine containment are to be made every once in a week to remove other biological foreign objects from contaminating SCP-XXXX and infected subjects.
Staffs who needed to carry out experiments with SCP-XXXX must acquire adequate access and authorized special permission from Site-17 Administrators, HOL4 (Head of Level 4 Classification Officers) before entering the containment chamber. Any other prions are strictly forbidden into SCP-XXXX's chamber so as to prevent accidental mixture or biological reaction. Please do take note that only staffs or personnel with level 4 clearance are qualified for interaction with SCP-XXXX.
Case counts about those who were infected by SCP-XXXX are approximately up to 162,000, and were still ongoing in northern parts of Kazakhstan and western parts of Russia, having to achieve the largest widespread contagious prion disease in history. The SCP Mobile Task Force plays an important part in keeping 24/7 watch on SCP-XXXX outbreak overseas, as well as reducing the spread of this contagiously infectious agent.
Administrator Note: This is Dr.██████ concerning the matter of SCP-XXXX's safety and precaution upon handling or carrying out physical activity near SCP-XXXX. I shall propose a rule that all personnel, subjects, or any other human beings are compulsory to wear at least protective clothing capable of resisting staged-third biological entities, regardless of whether a test-subject is ordered to experiment with.
- Former Administrator of Site 17: Dr.██████
Description: SCP-XXXX, or colloquially known as Paraprion is an artificially created infectious prion. When a human or a living thing is infected with SCP-XXXX, rapid decomposition and decay were seen immediately. Symptoms such as skin pain, muscle convulsions, and severe stomach pain will instantly take effect once the prion enters the body. SCP-XXXX can be spread by many ways- airborne, contact, wounds, openings, and orifice are targeted ways or area SCP-XXXX can be transmitted to. Within 17 minutes, symptoms continue to perceive while new aggravated signs appeared. SCP-XXXX will then begin to spread throughout the body rapidly, particularly the digestive systems, eye, and ears.
SCP-XXXX is ever since classified as third stage bio-hazardous biological agent after mass breakout occurred in the city of Chelyabinsk, Russia when a biochemistry lab experiment has gone terribly wrong. SCP recruits and highly trained staff members were sent to the lab with protective clothing to collect samples of SCP-XXXX from the breached laboratory. After SCP-XXXX is contained, further problems occurred during the first experiment on SCP-XXXX. Subjects that were sent directly into the room unequipped with any safety items. Shortly after staying in the room with a milligram of SCP-XXXX on a petri dish, subjects stayed at the corners of the chamber, refusing to move an inch. The next moment the subjects were seen scratching their skin frantically in intense distress. After 5 minutes, maggots and other parasitic entities eroded from the cysts in their skins, and their faces showed agony and intolerable pain they are experiencing with.
EARLY STAGES OF INFECTION
Infected people will begin to have tinnitus, while at the same time having retinal detachment, as well as severe diarrhea or constipation, may occur. This is because parasites such as roundworms clogged the intestines, and maggots, cordyceps, tapeworms, or Loa Loa worms begin to take residence in these areas from the cause of SCP-XXXX decomposing manifestations. In some cases, subjects were diagnosed with glaucoma, and total blindness due to Loa Loa worms in the eyes. Maggots will begin to emerge from the skin epidermis, and eggs will be formed on the skin after next few days. SCP-XXXX-1 is another unknown anomalous parasite that is responsible for the cause of tinnitus in infected people, as they take up residence in the inner ear. (SCP-XXXX do not manifest parasites in any other environments other than within a living host)
Attempts that were made in an effort to remove these parasites have been partially successful, but new parasites will continue to emerge again.
Document #XXXX-Log17: Recorded transcript of conversation with infected Class C-Personnel
C-Personnel: Ah… pain… and my eye… I can't see well in my left eye…
Dr. A█████: How are you doing so far, Mr.████ ? Is it getting better?
C-Personnel: I'm afraid not, doctor… The pain… It's really intense, and my eye…
Dr. A█████: And what about the pain? Where is it coming from?
C-Personnel: It's everywhere… My skins… What are those bumps, doctor? Cysts?
Dr. A█████: Those are not cysts. They were presumed to be maggot eggs.C-Personnel: What?! Are you f**king kidding me? Maggot eggs in my skin? How
could that possibly happen? Doctor, please, help me. Find a cure for me please, I want
Panacea, please! Give me one pill, and I will be willing to do anything for you!Dr. A█████: Mr.████, we need you to calm down. I'm afraid I can't get any SCP-500
pills from the administrators. SCP-XXXX is still currently on its preliminary test and is not officially classified under SCP article.<End Log, 14:20:33, Date █/██/██>
Evaluation: Class C-personnel attempted to obtain SCP-500 pills from Dr. A█████, although no progress is made for him. Conclusion on new symptoms is made. Further interview is to be made to find further symptoms of SCP-XXXX's infection.
It is currently hypothesized by the doctors that people who were infected with this prion would not have the hope to be cured other than taking SCP-500, or to survive from it as well. If it was treated by SCP-500 during authorized and approved Experiment-069, the prion is predicted to be altered immediately and stop its infection, but parasites will remain.
People who were already at stage 4 infection may not survive, although after consuming SCP-500, as parasite have already overpopulated themselves inside respective body areas. SCP-XXXX also manifest SCP-186 too, and staff are allowed to collect
MENTAL EFFECTS
As mentioned earlier, SCP-XXXX also induces an anomalous ability to interfere and overlap human brain activity. Severe loss of sapience and intellect occurred after stage 3 infection. Infected people tend to be unable to talk or speak normally, and most of the time they would simply groan or speak incomprehensibly. The severity of these symptoms continues to aggravate unstoppable until stage 4. Researchers could not hypothesize the reason why basic functions of human movement such as walking, grabbing, crawling and showing emotions remain unaffected. From the effect of SCP-XXXX-1, infected people will tend to eat raw meat rather than cooked one.
Document #XXXX-Log18: Recorded transcript of conversation with infected class C-Personnel on Stage 3
Dr. A█████: Nice to meet you again, Mr.████. I'm afraid your illness could not be cured.
C-Personnel: Wh… Hrrr… I (wheezing)
Dr. A█████: Do you remember talking to me a few hours ago?
C-Personnel: Wha… who you? Get away from m…(coughs blood out)
Dr. A█████: We will try to perform a surgery on-
C-Personnel: No! No surgery on me! I… hrrr…(Roundworm emerges from his throat)
Dr. A█████: You need to.
C-Personnel: hrrr (grunts and moan incomprehensibly)
Dr. A█████: Answer me. What is 12+8?
C-Personnel: 1… I don't know…
<End Log, 26:13:55, Date █/██/██>
Evaluation: SCP-XXXX clearly affects the personnel's brain especially on his intellectual ability. Further research is to be carried out on infected subjects to confirm such hypothesis. Surgery to remove parasite is to be carried out.
FINAL STAGE OF INFECTION
Infected people would considerably be significantly more aggressive and hostile than normal human beings, having the habit of gnawing on things near them. Upon entering stage 5, infected people is found to profoundly lose its own consciousness and awareness, showing no form of recognizing oneself. At this stage, most patients would not be able to speak. They would behave emotionless and savage, aggressively tearing and ripping anything near them by their own teeth.
Soon enough, they will enter a phase of total insanity. Patient in this phase is seen allegedly shouting at the top of their lungs, necks corded, and vein popping out on their limbs. Blood is also seen leaking from the eyes and mouth, as well as feces and large intestines were forcefully pushed out of their anus. They will gradually succumb themselves to death. As the patient dies, parasites and fungus will slowly take over the entire body, and the decomposition process sped up.
ABOUT SCP-XXXX-1
SCP-XXXX-1 is one of the anomalous parasites manifested by SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1 prefers its environment to be damp and gelatinous. The parasite thus takes up its residence mainly in patient's inner ear during its early stages of growth. Infant growth would normally take up to two to three days before fully grown. Usually, the patient will experience pain or itch inside their ear, and tinnitus (particularly ringing, buzzing, or crunching noises) As it turns adult, they will migrate to the patient's brain, taking up to 5 to 6 days before successfully reaching their destination. SCP-XXXX-1 infantile parasites preferred its residence inside human cochlear. This would immediately cause significant hearing loss or even deaf to an infected patient.
SCP-XXXX houses itself with its companions on the back of the brain. They keep themselves alive by absorbing spinal fluids and nutrient from the brain stems. SCP-XXXX is also observed to be intelligent, as it organizes itself a leader who would take control on human brain, whose purpose is to control the immune system from attacking their infants, and the eating habits of the patient so as to give themselves the correct nutrients to survive. SCP-XXXX-1 has life span of up to three and a half years. SCP-XXXX do not cause any form of brain-related conditions, including encephalitis.
