Item #: SCP-Love

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: All the people in the town of (REDACTED), Alaska have been terminated due to contagion to SCP-Love, except SCP-Love-1.
With the exception of the elderly and the pre-puberty children. The elders got to retire in a Foundation run retirement home with class B amnesiacs administered.
All the orphans were adopted by the Foundation and kept in an isolated youth training center. But after the event SCP-Love /B, all the children, teachers and other students were terminated via gas and incineration.
The patient zero of SCP-Love, SCP-Love-1 is kept in soundproof containment cell, without audio or observation. SCP-Love-1 is observed still to be contained by automated feeding and feces observation system. Subjects vitals are also monitored through implemented trackers. Extra caution is to be regarding any possible objects that SCP-Love-1 could try suicide. Subject is given books to read, exercise bike, music albums and an old record player.
All video and audio logs regarding SCP-Love are sealed and need 05-level authorization. When SCP-Love-1A is being extracted from SCP-Love-1s pineal gland, or whenever in any contact with SCP-Love-1 a strict quarantine protocol is maintained on all personnel participating. Minimum of 16 days of total isolation quarantine to all participants. Only short coded, text based reports are allowed, and considered in possible extending or of rising quarantine procedures to Extinction Scenario Alpha level.
When extracting SCP-Love-1A the patient is always put to sleep via anesthetic gas. Personnel involved wear infrared or "scrambler" goggles, making them unable to see SCP-Love-1. Still, caution is advised.
All contagion cases of SCP-Love result in immediate termination, avoiding to look or listen the infected are basic precautions, should SCP-Love breach containment.

Description: SCP-Love is a highly contagious, lethal and emotion based disease. Infected pass the disease even trough still audio and their recorded voice, especially so in the case of SCP-Love-1, the patient zero and the only immune to SCP-Love. The infected doesn't necessarily fall in love to the subject who infected him/her, and never in the case of SCP-Love-1. But the infected do fall in and out of love (The more aggressive, passionate and obsessive Eros, Mania & Ludus (Love as a game)- types of love) seemingly at random. Gender, sexual preference or any recognizable factor doesn't influence to whom the infected might fall for. Even objects, imaginary people in television or in one instance the heard name of an agent were enough to rise strong feelings. More rational and unselfish types of love, Agape (Selfless, divine or righteous love), Pragma (realistic love) and Storge (Love as friendship), the infected are totally incapable of feeling. Parents for example stop loving their children, usually forgetting them soon as SCP-Love progresses. Spouses usually fall out of love.
The symptoms of jealousy, ownership, out-right fantasy building, obsession and mania become more and more severe by time. Infected show often symptoms of paranoia and violent behaviour.
The elderly post-Menopause men and women are immune to SCP-Love. Pre-puberty teens were also thought to be immune, until the second outbreak SCP-Love/B. The first outbreak event, and subsequently the location of SCP-Love are designated SCP-Love/A. Patient zero, SCP-Love-1 was extracted from SCP-Love/A. A temporary blocking vaccine has been formulated, meaning it makes subject immune to SCP-Love for an undetermined time. The extraction of the vital ingredient from SCP-Love-1 is slow, and can't be hurried.
In all likelihood when SCP-Love-1 dies, so does the SCP-Love as no other first origin cases have been recorded.

Transcript, Last log entry. Lt. C. Harris, First Response Tactical Squad Gamma-5:

Hi..Base…Whoever hears this.. This is, I mean I'm L-T Chris Harrisson..Gamma-Five, Hurraah! Making one last entry before the gas is dropped, and the lights go out.. I did my job, I saved Nadia. . Hell, I've earned the sleep! Got them the info about this.. thing. . it being contagious as hell!
Maybe the Cap got the old man down and in custody…. it's about him.. somehow he's involved..
But I'm getting ahead of myself. So yeah, I was one of the 20 men first on the scene.
Aerial shots had shown people running, chasing each other, fighting, acting all sorts of nut.
Some gun shots were heard. People acting weird in some rural small town, sounds like a day in the paradise! A piece of pastry! You'd think…You should never think, expect anything when they send us out.. Expect the worst, and be usually right…
But that was about the intel we had when we went into the SCP-Love/A.
Stun grenades, tranq. dart ARs, with lethal ammo if necessary, slips to tie people with, gas masks, IR/Thermal/Night-vision goggles and the command to search, study, observe, secure, contain and report. With subdue and contain the civilians, terminal rights if deemed necessary. If things went…extreme.. They did..
Me and 6 others went in from the west side of SCP-Love/A at O 300 AM, across a stone bridge and small river. Meanwhile Cap'n and 12 other Gammas would make approach from North-west, we comb the houses and meet in the middle of the town and its two main roads. It was barely even dark, up that high on the globe in summer time. You could see the fog was going to rise in a few…
