Animo18 - Symbiosis

Item #: SCP-8172

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8172 is to remain within a standard
5m x 5m x 5m humanoid containment cell and is to be provided standardized D-Class meals everyday. Under no circumstances are any tissue or blood samples to be taken. In the event of the detonation of on site Nuclear Warhead, SCP-8172 is to be located and retrieved as soon as possible.

Nuclear Warhead is only to be activated if the containment breach will cause a greater disaster than the death of SCP-8172 or if it is fully guaranteed that SCP-8172 will be escorted out of the facility.

Description: SCP-8172 is a human male by the age of 32. SCP-8172 is through unknown means, capable of creating a symbiosis with any plant, fungus, bacteria, virus, parasite, viral and infectious agent, insect and smaller animals that is introduced to his body. This has lead to SCP-8172 having an entire working ecosystem of thousands of species of animals, plants, bacteria, virus and fungus living in a perfect symbiosis inside of him. SCP-8172 has also shown capabilities of creating symbiosis with SCPs as well. Despite having the thousands of different organisms living inside of SCP-8172 he seems to have no external changes, his inner organs however have been heavily altered by the organisms in such regards that they work better, faster and takes up less space.

The organisms living inside of SCP-8172 har been shown to go through extreme extents to protect SCP-8172 from any harm and, due to the presence of a few anomalies, SCP-8172 has been able to survive nuclear warheads (See Incident-B-8172 and Testlog).

SCP-8172 can control the organisms but not when their own well being is threatened, due to this personnel are advised to not cause any harm whatsoever to SCP-8172 as it will cause the organisms residing within him to kill the one causing harm, or atleast cause severe injuries.
It has been noted that SCP-8172 can control the organisms to some degree when he is being harmed by, through unknown means, explain the situation to the organisms, this has allowed surgery to be done, albeit equipment used has been required to be thoroughly cleaned and later destroyed through different means as to not spread any pathogens.

As of now SCP-8172 has made a symbiosis with the following:

  • Several species of ants, hornets, wasps, bees and other insects
  • Different types of algae
  • Several species of carnivorous eating plants
  • Several different flowers and trees
  • Different species of fungus and mushrooms
  • Almost every known species of bacteria, virus, parasite, microorganism and viral and infectious agent, most notable are several types of flesh eating virus1
  • SCP-386, SCP-008, SCP-610, SCP-143, SCP-439, SCP-217, SCP-2546, SCP-3859 and a few more.

As SCP-8172 contains several lethal and deadly diseases including SCPs, extraction of any kind of SCP-8192 tissue is strictly prohibited after Incident-A-8172.

Test log:

Item: SCP-8172
Observant: Researcher █████
Procedure: This was during the end of the month termination when SCP-8172 was as of yet not classified.
Results: SCP-8172 was shoot in the head. Guards performing the execution noted seeing a few bees flying around. SCP-8172 soon rose up again with the bullet wound healed. Guards were instructed to shoot SCP-8172 with everything. Guards were quickly consumed by several types of insects emerging from the wounds on SCP-8172. Test ended in 3 casualties and the classification of SCP-8172.

Item: SCP-8172
Observant: Researcher ██████
Procedure: Dissection of SCP-8172
Results: As the scalpel pierced the skin, ants started to come out of the wound and attacked the doctors. Test ended in 7 casualties and 3 wounded. All operating tools were later incinerated.
Note: This dissection was performed with anesthetics.

Item: SCP-8172
Observant: Doctor ██████
Procedure: SCP-8172 allowed another dissection to be performed without anesthetics
Results: SCP-8172 stayed awake during the entire operation, full viewing of SCP-8172 insides was accomplished.
Note: During the dissection, doctors noticed a green substance in SCP-8172 liver surrounded by an unknown tissue. This substance was later determined to be SCP-447-2 and was confirmed after a serving of it to the D-Class, as the storage was filled. No more testing on SCP-8172 was to be performed and SCP-8172 was put on high security as to not let it die.

Item: SCP-8172 and SCP-353
Observant: Doctor ██████
Procedure: SCP-353 is to be introduced to SCP-8172 and told to “go nuts”.
Results: The test went going for over 5 hours with SCP-353 seemingly getting bored. Later dissection revealed several of the different viral and infectious agents to be heavily altered within SCP-8172’s body, many of which was determined to having been specifically designed to affect SCP-8172 in some harmful way.
Note: So if a disease of which would literally kill everything in it’s way no matter the subject, it would still create a symbiosis with SCP-8172. This also means that if we are able to find the cause for this seemingly impossible symbiosis, we wouldn’t have to worry about getting sick. If anything we would want to be exposed to pathogens.

Incident-B-8172:
During a containment breach of SCP-████ the on site Nuclear Warhead was armed. SCP-8172 remained within the facility during the activation of the Nuclear Warhead. Operations began later to retrieve any remaining items. During this operation, agents found SCP-8172 naked and unconscious on the ground covered in moss, roots and other types of plant matter. SCP-8172 was escorted immediately to a safe location where it was confirmed that he was still alive. Containment procedures were updated to minimize the risk of SCP-8172s death due to the presence of SCP-447-2 inside its body.
