SCP-ZZZZ

Item #: SCP-ZZZZ

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment: SCP-ZZZZ resides in a 10 ft by 20 ft room equipped with normal living accommodations. The surrounding area is to be kept airtight, with the exception of a filtered ventilation system. The chamber's entrance is segmented, with all personnel being thoroughly sterilized upon entering and exiting. Personnel are to wear surgical masks during the entirety of their visit and must not be contaminated with a contagious virus of any kind, as this carries the risk of SCP-ZZZZ contracting and enhancing new viral strains.

Description: SCP-ZZZZ is a pubescent male possessing normal human characteristics. However, its white blood cells contain several abnormal properties; when SCP-ZZZZ's immune system has produced antibodies for a virus, its macrophages selectively destroy viral cells while feeding and nurturing others, breeding more powerful variants of the original virus. The highest concentrations of these viral cells have been found in lymph nodes.

SCP-ZZZZ has demonstrated the ability to control the symptoms and method of transmission of its secreted viral cells, though it is unable to elaborate on this ability, claiming, "It's like moving your arm. You don't know how you do it, but you can." Transmission of modified viruses may occur through expiration, saliva, or blood transfusion, though distribution of the virus into these areas is not strictly voluntary; when startled or threatened, this process may happen instinctively.

SCP-ZZZZ has exhibited symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder after inadvertently causing an epidemic in [DATA REDACTED]. Though it dislikes is containment, it is thankful that it is no longer at risk of hurting others and has expressed gratitude for its containment procedures.
