 Item number, SCP-306. Object Class. Cater. Special Containment Procedures. Frozen samples of SCP-306 are stored at Bio Research Site 101. Research on SCP-306 is to be carried out under Bio Safety Level 4 protocols. Subjects infected with SCP-306 are to be immediately placed under quarantine. Any items making physical contact with infected subjects or SCP-306 residue are to be incinerated. Personnel interacting with infected subjects are to remain in full hazmat containment suits. Personnel interacting with infected subjects or SCP-306 residue are to remain under mandatory quarantine and submit to twice daily examination for a period of two weeks after interaction. Containment breaches within controlled environments will result in lockdown of affected area. Personnel within the affected area are to remain in place until cleared for release. Hazmat teams are to remove and examine personnel for signs of infection. Infected personnel are to be quarantined. Affected area is to then be sterilized. A 1 kilometer radius around any areas experiencing an outbreak of SCP-306 is to be quarantined. Areas are to have all water and sewer systems sealed. Hazmat teams are to be deployed in the area and all persons in the quarantine zone are to be evacuated and screened for infection. Uninfected persons are to be released with non-foundation employees administered class B amnestics. Infected persons are to be terminated. Following completed evacuation, enclosed areas are to be sterilized with ethylene oxide. In unenclosed areas, controlled burning, followed by a ground sweep, are to be enacted. Wetlands harboring SCP-306 are to be impounded, filled, and sealed with concrete. Preventing SCP-306 from infecting any large body of water is an alpha class priority. Description SCP-306 is a fungus related to the genus Tricophyten. SCP-306 can infect humans through inhalation of spores or by skin-to-skin contact. Initial symptoms of infection can include coughing and sneezing and skin lesions. Lesions caused by SCP-306 display a morphology similar to benign papillomas, warts, and reach full size after approximately two days. Lesions are prone to shedding, after which another lesion forms underneath. Lesions that fall from the body of infected subjects are light enough to be carried by wind and capable of spreading SCP-306 for years. If untreated, lesions caused by SCP-306 can cover the body within two weeks. SCP-306 has been shown to grow in nearly all biological matter. SCP-306's primary anomalous property will only manifest when growing on human tissue. When infecting a human, SCP-306 secretes several previously unknown enzymes. These enzymes catalyze an unknown process, which drastically alters the structure of cells, resulting in the formation of several extra organelles of an indeterminate function. Approximately two weeks following infection, infected subjects begin to develop major physiological modifications. Over the course of the next three weeks, subjects rapidly lose weight, followed by the development of abnormal pigmentation and increased water permeability of skin. Subjects who are still able to speak describe being in constant excruciating pain. Over the next two to five months, symptoms include shrinkage of organ systems, reshaping of the skeletal system. This process can last between two and five months, after which subjects are referred to as SCP-306-1. Instances of SCP-306-1 on average weight 25 to 30 kilograms, measuring 0.5 meters in length. SCP-306-1 have an appearance similar to amphibians, but correspond to no known species. Autopsies of deceased SCP-306-1 specimens have revealed that internal structures remain morphologically similar to human organs following metamorphosis. Instances appear to enjoy human presence and actively attempt to gain contact when in human presence. SCP-306-1 remain extremely infectious, with any direct physical contact resulting in infection by SCP-306. SCP-306-1 are capable of reproduction in a similar manner to Agilichnus callidryus. SCP-306-1 was discovered in Louisiana, in a swampy area when locals reported a colony of unknown amphibious creatures, coupled with a string of unexplained disappearances. Foundation agents were deployed to the scene to investigate, leading to the object's discovery. Since this event, additional SCP-306 outbreaks have been found in the southeastern United States. SCP-306 is resistant to nearly all treatment, with the exception of high heat. Cauterization of infected tissue has shown modest success in treating cuteness infection. However, respiratory infection is not treatable. Addendum 1. Testing on SCP-306 has shown the fungus to be able to grow in nearly all biological matter, including most vertebrates. However, only humans have been shown to develop any deleterious effects from infection. Due to the possibility of a major outbreak, Dr. W. W. W. is requesting increased funding for research into SCP-306. Addendum 2. Memo from Site W. W. Director. Based off of Dr. W. W. W. W.'s research into SCP-306, we now consider it extremely likely that large reservoirs of SCP-306 exist in the wild. Because of both the physical danger and danger to secrecy presented, all sites are advised to monitor for wild SCP-306 reservoirs. Any confirmed vectors are to be dealt with by applicable regional forces. Addendum 3. As of date undisclosed, Site W. W. As reported decreased efficacy of antifungal sprays used to combat SCP-306, 056 has authorized further testing to determine the cause of this change. Addendum 4. Incident I-3063. On date undisclosed, all 12 contained instances of SCP-306-1 escaped primary containment during routine feeding. Researcher Thompson was fatally injured by a stray bullet as security subdued the specimens. The following is a transcript of an interview conducted with researcher Phyllis, immediately following the breach. Interviewed. Researcher Phyllis. Interviewer. Agent Leonard. Begin log. Leonard, thank you for being here on short notice. Phyllis, sure. Leonard. Alright, first order of business, please state what you were doing when the breach occurred. Phyllis, well, I was conducting feeding for the 306-1 specimens. What's his name? Thompson was getting the feed, and I was gonna administer it. I did account of the specimens. There were 11, but that was wrong because there should have been 12. So I told Thompson to look at the logs and see if one had been moved to another site. All of a sudden there's this flash of motion, and next thing I know I'm being pinned down by some of the specimens. I don't remember what happened after that. When I woke up, they were gone, and security was already there. Thompson was lying on the ground bleeding from his mouth. The guards escorted me out. Leonard, so you were attacked by the specimens. Phyllis, basically. Leonard, I understand that these creatures are normally quite docile. What caused this aggressive behavior? Phyllis, okay. We've been performing some new testing on the specimens. Leonard, what kind of testing? Phyllis, intelligence testing, putting them through mazes, training them, that sort of thing. Leonard, and what does this have to do with the breach? Phyllis, everything. These guys were speeding through puzzles, memorizing commands almost instantly. We looked at the data, and these guys are as smart as primates. Smarter even than that, we tried teaching them how to read, how to write, and they picked it up in the blink of an eye. Leonard, I have documentation that says those creatures are no more intelligent than a common tree frog. Phyllis, that's what we thought at first. But this testing, it showed that we were dead wrong. They were writing coherent notes to us. They told us what their names were. We gave one of them an IQ test. It scored 127. These things are humans, trapped in the bodies of frogs. Leonard, so what led to their aggressive behavior then? Phyllis, I'm not sure. Thompson brought in this kid's book with some fairy tales in it. Seemed like they'd enjoyed it, but after that, they started getting angry with us. They were depressed. They wrote notes telling us that we had no right to keep them here, that they needed to be out in the world, they needed to be free. Leonard, what exactly did they expect to be able to accomplish if they were able to escape? Phyllis, I don't know. Leonard, okay, I believe we're done here. Phyllis, wait, before you go, can you tell me what happened to Thompson? Leonard, I'm sorry, he was killed in the breach. Stray bullet in the chest. Phyllis, that's a shame. He was going to bring them another story. End log. Closing statement. Due to the information revealed in the incident, I order all contained instances of SCP-306-1 to be immediately terminated. They are now presenting a major obstacle to successful containment of an already dangerous object. 053. Addendum 5. Dr. Poo has found that most samples of SCP-306 display wide spectrum resistance to antifungals, upgraded to Keter. Item number, SCP-325. Object class, safe. Special containment procedures. SCP-325 is to be held in a standard 30 centimeter by 10 centimeter by 10 centimeter steel box. This box should be waterproofed and lined with hydrophobic rubber and stored away from any washing facilities. If SCP-325 breaches containment, standard foundation issue NBC protection suits are to be used to spread desiccant on the affected area. All used desiccant should be incinerated according to standard incineration procedure. SCP-325 can be safely stored at any site and with any SCP. Any personnel showing a greatly increased adherence to cleaning and hygiene then required are to be detained and given new foundation issue overalls to be worn for the next 24 hours. After this, suspected personnel are to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Description. SCP-325 is a small bottle of washing detergent, a product commonly sold in the United Kingdom. However, the name present on the label does not match any of the company's current products. SCP-325 contains a semi viscous green liquid, identical in chemical composition to the naturals range of washing detergent sold by SCP-325 is a value pack container of concentrated detergent and currently contains 1,775 milliliters of fluid. One wash of SCP-325 requires 25 milliliters of liquid, as indicated on the instructions located on the rear of the bottle. This information also contains a warning detailing data expunged. SCP-325 functions in an identical way to a normal detergent and when used will produce excellent results. Tests with Class D personnel have indicated that victims will find the quality of the wash much higher than usual. Therefore, preferring to wear a garment washed in SCP-325 over other articles of clothing washed in normal detergent. However, lab tests have shown there to be no physical or chemical difference between garments washed in SCP-325 or other brands. Further research into low-level memetic threats are ongoing, but as the effects of SCP-325 are contained by non-use, SCP-325 is currently classified as safe. When a garment washed in SCP-325 is worn, the subject wearing it will eventually succumb to extreme pervasive paranoid delusions related to mysophobia and cleanliness. This will often induce ritualistic behaviors in the subject and has led to subjects harming themselves through excessive cleaning methods, such as placing their hands in boiling water or ingesting bleach. There are currently five levels of behavior caused by SCP-325 exposure documented, with all tests past 480 total hours of exposure resulting in the data expunged indicated on the label, unless subject expires at level 4, as documented below. All time measurements indicated in the following descriptions of behavior after exposure are indicated at the average number of hours exposed, rounded up in plus or minus 10%. Exposure refers to the time spent physically wearing garments cleaned in SCP-325. Level 1 Behavior Subjects exposed to SCP-325 for between 1 and 24 hours will exhibit majorly increased awareness of hygiene and cleanliness. This is usually characterized by excessive hand washing and ordering others to be more clean themselves. This stage will usually pass without comment. However, any staff noticing increased awareness of cleanliness around the storage area of SCP-325 should inform level 4 clearance personnel immediately. Level 2 Behavior Subjects exposed to SCP-325 for between 24 and 96 hours will begin to display extreme mysophobia and manic washing regimens. Exposed subjects will also shun others, only exiting their domicile to stockpile supplies of tinned food and cleaning agents, such as bleach. Interviews have shown that subjects view the outside world to be… unclean. Level 3 Behavior Subjects exposed to SCP-325 for 96 to 240 hours exhibit complete disregard for anything that is considered by them to be unclean, including the outside world. If an object inside their abode can be cleaned by the subject, they will clean it until deemed suitably uncontaminated. All clothing that has not been washed in SCP-325 will also be rejected and most likely destroyed, along with other non-suitable items. Subjects will usually dispose of things by incineration, although no single method is preferred. From this point, only clothing washed in SCP-325 will be worn. Level 4 Behavior Currently the stage of most use and interest to the foundation. After 240 hours of exposure, subjects will cut themselves in order to use their blood as a cleaning agent. Other agents such as bleach will sometimes be added, but this is not a constant behavior and around 80% of exposed subjects will not add anything. The blood from the victim has been proven to be 100% efficient at removing any contaminant from a surface. The mechanism for this is currently unknown, but tests with the products of SCP-325 and SCP-325 have shown promising results for cleanup after containment breaches. The composition of the blood has alluded a full analysis so far, with test results showing data expunged, present in the bloodstream. Further testing is authorized after submitting Form 325-T1 to the appropriate Level 4 researcher. Most test subjects, around 70%, will die of exsanguination or exhaustion before progressing to Level 5. Level 5 Behavior Once a subject has been exposed for 480 hours, they will proceed to data expunged, which resulted in the deaths of several civilians and foundation staff. This event is detailed on the warning on SCP-325's label. A copy is available to researchers above Level 3 clearance. As the r*** company shows no record of producing SCP-325, yet has the facility to do so if the r*** is added into their manufacture process, one undercover agent has been inserted as an employee. Said agent is to stay silent, unless production of SCP-325 is found to exist. All instances of SCP-325 found outside of Foundation control are to be destroyed by incineration after testing at the nearest Foundation site. Field agents and MTFs are clear to terminate any civilians exhibiting confirmed exposure of Level 3 or above. Confirmed Level 2 instances are to be contained and returned to the nearest Foundation site. Item Number SCP-340 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-341, 34, and 5 are to be communally housed in a 10 meter by 10 meter by 2.5 meter tank, with the water temperature maintained between 25 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius. Antidepressants and broad-spectrum antibiotics are to be administered intravenously every 12 hours. Medicinal compounds may not be added to the standard nutritive paste without approval. All waste products must be properly sterilized. Many personnel who aspirate water from the containment tank must report to medical staff immediately. Description SCP-340 is produced by a human-specific virus which preferentially colonizes the nasal cavities. The virus cannot be identified according to the Baltimore classification scheme, leading Foundation researchers to believe it was engineered by parties as yet unidentified. The presence of genes from both HIV and the SARS coronavirus supports this hypothesis. An incubation period, with a mean duration of 3 days, occurs upon initial exposure to the virus. Influenza-like symptoms will then develop and will persist for a mean of 7 days before clearing up. An increased production of mucus has been observed in all known cases and will persist after other symptoms have ceased. Virulence is highest during the first 5 days of infection, but viral particles have been detected up to a month after exposure in Foundation trials. Anytime after infection, a high blood concentration of carbon dioxide will trigger production of SCP-340. When initially produced, SCP-340 is a jelly-like mucus which extrudes to cover the lower half of the face, including the nose and mouth. SCP-340 in mucus form will undergo a catalytic reaction when immersed in water and will set into a bioplastic membrane. The chemical composition of the bioplastic facilitates the data-expunged process. Although it causes SCP-340 to degrade, the process allows the host to breathe underwater. The membrane is flexible and does not inhibit the host's facial movement. Any tears or holes which develop due to mechanical stress or SCP-340 degradation will be regenerated within 30 seconds due to constant production of SCP-340. Virulence is drastically reduced in this stage, but viral particles have been detected in water samples contaminated with SCP-340. Environmental contact may still spread the infection. When SCP-340 is exposed to air, it dries into a chitinous substance similar to crustacean shells. The water vapor trapped inside an SCP-340 sealed respiratory system is sufficient to prevent premature hardening. The hardening process also destroys its ability to data-expunged, and loss of function is irreversible after approximately two minutes' exposure to air. Once fully hardened, SCP-340 is impossible to remove without inflicting major tissue damage. It is harder than any generally known organic substance. A standard tungsten carbide drill bit required more than 15 minutes of constant use to drill a hole through 5mm of dried SCP-340. Research is ongoing into methods for the in vitro culture and harvest of SCP-340 for use in industrial applications. Addendum 341 Circumstances of Retrieval On date undisclosed, 12 students at a boarding school in United States began to produce SCP-340 during a swimming competition. Nine died before a Foundation containment team could be dispatched to the site. Five suffocated when attempts to clear airways of hardened SCP-340 failed. Two suffocated after attempts to open alternate airways induced hardening of air exposed SCP-340 in the trachea, and two died from dehydration. Upon arrival, the Foundation containment team quarantined the school until the infection spread could be determined. Four additional cases were discovered who were not yet producing SCP-340. All seven were taken into Foundation custody. The team then distributed Class A amnestics and followed COVERA Procedure Gimmel II, the Tragic Fire Scenario. Addendum 342 SCP-340 doesn't kill the host's oral bacteria and the antibiotics can't stave off infection forever. Surgical removal of the host's teeth will be safer in the long run than trying to deal with abscesses, bone infection, and sepsis. Do we have a laparoscopic surgeon on staff?

Material Suits Gloves and Oxygen Supply will be required to examine subject A disinfectant shower and decontamination spray are standard procedure before and after contact with SCP-353 The whole containment unit is to be kept underground at negative pressure and hermetically sealed at all times to prevent accidental contamination to the outside area In the case of containment breach all affected personnel are to be placed in immediate Biohazard Level 4 quarantine Termination will be required in the possibility of an outbreak of one or more Class 9 infectious agents Subjects should be fed three times a day as standard and provided with the minimum required comfort items A twin size bed a pillow and a blanket Clothing in the form of disposable surgical scrubs are to be provided as needed but requests for items should otherwise be denied Any outward signs of disease in the subject such as rashes, boils, vomiting or sickly pallor or demeanor should be reported with haste Since the appearance of symptoms in SCP-353 means a willful effort on her part subject is to be subdued and questioned Should SCP-353 need to leave its containment facility for any reason it is to be fitted with an explosive collar time-release drug delivery service for dosages of euphoric substances and Biohazard Containment Suit Should SCP-353's suit breach containment emergency sterilization procedures up to and including incineration of the affected area are to be carried out Description SCP-353 appears to be a normal human female 26 years old of average physical capacity and average intelligence Subject has the capacity to siphon infectious viral and bacterial agents from her environment nurture and store them within her body and then redistribute them to devastating pandemic effect SCP-353's mood directly affects the radius of infections recorded with increased emotional states leading to massively increased potency SCP-353 seems to be immune from the symptoms of said infectious agents but just as long as she is only passively storing them her active willful attempts to nurture manipulate and change infectious agents while they remain in her body cause her to manifest symptoms ranging from mildly annoying to severe Symptoms only last as long as she is actively inducing a change in the quantity or quality of an infectious agent and thus rarely last longer than a few hours Examinations have shown that the subject is able to store almost any infectious bacterial or viral agents within her body though she is only capable of changing agents that are able to naturally survive within the human body As of writing this report SCP-353's blood contains traces of over 1,000 different infectious agents including human immunodeficiency virus or HIV Ebola Marburg 67 different strains of the common cold herpes simplex A E. coli cholera bubonic plague SARS and malaria At least 30% of said infectious agents were previously unknown to the medical community and were possibly engineered by SCP-353 herself making SCP-353 an invaluable resource Addendum 3531 SCP-353 was originally encountered in data expunged South Africa where she seemed to be deliberately seeking to pick up strains of the Ebola virus Foundation personnel pursued SCP-353 to Dresden, Germany where they determined that she had successfully contracted Marburg and redistributed said virus to data expunged Subject was eventually subdued by physical means and taken into foundation custody with minimal loss of life To date her true identity is unknown as she gives no name other than Vector and refuses to answer any questions about her past SCP-353 claims to have traveled the western world seeking greater infections for her collection when asked why she would not give a response aside from because I can Addendum 3532 Initial testing has shown that she is as adept at manipulating and changing infectious agents in the bodies of nearby subjects as she isn't manipulating them within her own body She seems to prefer to manipulate diseases within her own body however as it grants her full access to the results of her manipulations Furthermore, her ability to manipulate disease in nearby subjects means it's likely that she is equally capable of curing diseases and dispensing them On a different note, personnel are reminded to refer to humanoid SCPs by their numerical SCP designation Should SCP-353 refuse to cooperate she is to be subdued and punished We're not here to make her X-Men villain fantasies come true Dr. Sarajarvi Addendum 3533 Given that this girl is a walking time bomb of viruses I recommend that we trank her, strap her to a table and give her a massive dose of ribovirin interferon cocktail to flush her system Dr. Addendum 3534 Flush her system Hell no Did you know that this girl somehow has the original strain of the 1918 Spanish flu as well as a half dozen strains of viruses we've never seen The research possibilities alone Dr. Addendum 3535 Limited research approved O5 Addendum 3536 The embrace of this vector persona including the fixation on the color black for cosmetic purposes her might makes right attitude her desire to infect rather than to cure and her disregard for human life all signal towards extreme malignant narcissism and psychopathic tendencies Her obvious pleasure in manipulating and controlling diseases within herself despite the often painful symptoms involved are also quite troubling Requesting approval for psychological examination Counseling or therapy may be useful in reducing her difficult demeanor Dr. Glass Item Number SCP-383 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures All samples of SCP-383 must be kept in standard airtight plastic containers frozen into ice blocks and stored in a locker kept at negative five degrees Celsius at all times All samples of SCP-383 removed for testing must be handled with a minimum safety equipment of a face mask latex gloves and protective goggles optional of personnel already wear prescription glasses Personnel are reminded to wash hands after handling SCP-383 related materials All suspected and confirmed infections of SCP-383 will be treated with personnel and anyone they have had direct contact within the frame of infection placed into quarantine for the duration of testing A confirmed case of SCP-383 will result in personnel being placed under a week-long quarantine and placed on antivirals until testing reveals that SCP-383 is fully flushed from the system Infected civilians are to be treated similarly and given a class BM-nestic and told that they are in quarantine for a highly virulent new strain of the flu and the cause of the outbreak must be identified All objects created by SCP-383 must be catalogued along with the current state of the host Hosts of SCP-383 will be given a high-nutrition IV drip and unless class D testing is in operation hosts will be kept mildly sedated and in safe hospitable situations For obvious security reasons SCP-383 may not be introduced to any other SCPs Description SCP-383 is a viral infection first categorized as a variant of influenza The initial symptoms of SCP-383 are similar to those of the common cold ranging through a variety of aches and pains, sinus issues, sore throat, upset stomach, coughing and sneezing, and fatigue It appears to only be capable of infecting human hosts but has been observed to be carried by other animals such as rats and pigeons Similar to a common infection, SCP-383 will work its way through the human body naturally within a few days or faster with routine antivirals However, SCP-383 is also accompanied by extreme waves of nausea Along with bringing up the contents of the host's stomach SCP-383 appears to be capable of, through unknown means, producing random items These items are always sized appropriately to the host's mouth even if it appears infeasible for them to originate from the stomach suggesting that these items are actually produced either in the mouth or throat or often than not and these items are useful individually to the host For example, a host inside of a locked room may regurgitate a key or a lockpick set or a crowbar to pry the door open While the results are far from consistent the only pattern shown is that SCP-383 always produces items of use to the host in one way or another SCP-383 has even been observed to create living animals and complex mechanical devices Although SCP-383 would seem to have great potential as a foundation asset it should be noted that these items do not spontaneously appear Rather, they are created from biomass from the human body Victims are prone to anemia, nutrition loss, bone damage, and severe weight loss depending upon the fashion of items produced items that contain substances not found often inside the human body are often replaced with similar substances or missing non-vital parts Infections can also cause damage to the mouth and esophagus and a weakening of the immune system Hosts have also been observed to have a risk of choking on any items produced from SCP-383 Hosts of SCP-383 also report some difficulty swallowing foods and the relatively consistent nausea makes it difficult to consume or digest any foods or liquids occasionally resulting in dehydration Due to SCP-383's highly virulent nature, occasional mutations can occur resulting in SCP-383 strains that cause the host to regurgitate unsafe items or substances such as boiling hot liquids or knives that injure or kill the host Other somewhat common SCP-383 strains include a similar effect to the parent virus but manifesting its item creation abilities through fecal excretion instead Extra risk may be taken to prevent further strains of SCP-383 from developing as a strain capable of infecting non-human entities or with an entirely fatal reaction could prove disastrous Outbreaks of SCP-383 outside the SCP facility have been observed and contained
