Contagious killer glitter

Contagious Killer Glitter

Item #: SCP-3863

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3863 to be contained in a standard anomalous items locker. Once a day SCP-3863 is to be used by a nonviolent D-class using elbow length medical gloves to produce at minimum one art project utilizing at least two variances of color. Each project can be made with any quality paper but must be at minimum 22x28 centimeters. The projects cannot contain any imagery intended to display violent or sexual acts.
Failure to follow the instructions detailed above will result in the death of the operating D-class personnel or SCP-3863 will auto relocate to nearby populated areas through some means of teleportation.

Description: SCP-3863 is six generic bottles with no brand label each containing a different color of SCP-3863-1. Instances of SCP-3863-1 when on the human skin will continue to spread and replicate each time the affected individual or others try to wipe or wash it away. The rate of spreading and replication dramatically increases as removal is attempted. Once SCP-3863-1 reaches approximately 40% surface coverage the glitter will start appearing internally beginning with the eyes and mouth, then shortly after with continued resistance in the stomach and lungs resulting in death by asphyxiation. Even after death, the glitter will continue to replicate for around 30 minutes before becoming innate.
Each instance of SCP-3863 will produce SCP-3863-1 as it is used.
Other personnel attempting to assist in the removal of SCP-3863-1 will be affected by the SCP-3863-1 at the same rate as the initial victim regardless of their resistance or not.
No safe method to remove SCP-3863-1 has been discovered. Any further testing is to only be conducted by D-Class personnel.
The glitter left behind after 30 minutes of the afflicted individual's death is effectively regular glitter with no anomalous qualities.

Recovery: SCP-3863 was located by SCP personal on (04/09/2006) in ██████ Indiana at the house of the Jamison family. Neighboring residents reported a terrible smell coming from the Jamison household to local authorities. The Jamison family was dead in piles of assorted glitters. The location was filled with partially deflated balloons and open birthday presents labeled ‘to Jonny our little artist, from: mom and dad'. The glitter was apparently acquired from an unknown sources to be a gift for the youngest child. The cause of death in all victims was asphyxiation by massive amounts of glitter blocking the airway. Autopsies of each member of the Jamison family revealed glitter throughout all internal organs and even inside their veins.
Responding officers and neighbors were administered Class A amnestics and released.

+ Addendum: 04/10 Dr.████████ testing log

Test Log 3863-A: D-0101 enters Testing Chamber 023 and is instructed to examine the bottles. D-0101 complies, lifting and looking over the exteriors of each bottle of SCP-3863 “why am I looking at glitter?” D-0101 seems agitated at the menial task. D-0101 opens one of the bottles and sticks a finger inside and rolls the SCP-3863-1 between his forefinger and thumb. “are we done? It’s just fucking glitter”. D-0101 starts brushing his hands together to dust the SCP-3863-1 from his fingers. Although glitter is seen falling from his hands it seems more glitter is visible on his palms and forearms. D-0101 curses indiscriminately while continuing to attempt removal of SCP-3863-1. Large clumps of SCP-3863-1 are seen forming on his neck and face where D-0101 is unaware. D-0101 is made aware of the spread of SCP-3863-1 causing D-0101 to panic to wipe away the SCP-3863-1. D-0101 starts coughing sending puffs of SCP-3863-1 in random colors into the air. D-0101 dies shortly after coughing began. Swelling and growth of SCP-3863-1 is noted to continue for approximately 30 minutes.

Test Log 3863-B: D-0102 is brought to the Testing Chamber 023 and is instructed to search the pile of glitter on the floor. D-0102 reaches into the pile of glitter and lifts the lifeless arm of D-0101. D-0102 shouts “you people are sick” as he backs away dusting the glitter from his hands harmlessly and without growth or replication. D-0102 refuses to follow instructions. D-0102 is removed from the testing chamber by force.

+Incident Log: 04/18

Each night after testing, SCP-3863 is located outside it’s container usually in the 3rd floor break room next to the extra copy paper but has also appeared in other locations. How SCP-3863 was moved to these locations is unknown.

SCP-3863 teleports to populated areas if it is unused to craft at least one project in a 24 to 48 hour time span. This suggests SCP-3863 was made to seek out users or may have some form of intelligence.

All staff are to report the location of SCP-3863 and not to handle them directly.
Further testing is required.

+Addendum: 04/21 Dr.████████ testing log

Test Log 3863-C: D-0103 is instructed to use the tools provided to express his feelings. The tools include printer paper, glue, felt tip markers, and SCP-3863. D-0103 produces a blue, green and silver image of a single boat in the ocean. After completion D-0103 is instructions to wash his hands using soap and water. The spread of SCP-3863-1 progresses as normal.

Note: SCP-3863 did not relocate after this test. This test was repeated using different temperatures of water, quantities of soap and even alcohol with no success in any case.

+Addendum: 04/26 Dr.████████ testing log

Test Log 3863-D: D-0104 is instructed to make a happy picture and D-0105 is instructed to watch D-0104 and wait for further instructions. After the completion of the project D-0105 is instructed to wipe the glitter from D-0104’s hand. SCP-3863-1 spreads as usual on D-0104. D-0105 backs away watching in horror as SCP-3863-1 spreads uncontrollably. D-0105 is instructed to not resist as the SCP-3863-1 starts to appear on his limbs. SCP-3863-1 spread at the same rate on D-0105 as on D-0104. Both die within minutes of each other.

Notes: SCP-3863 seems to spread based on the level of resistance of the initial person in contact with SCP-3863-1. Additionally SCP-3863 did not relocate after this test.

+Closing Video log

████████: “after extensive testing SCP-3863 ‘The Contagious Killer Glitter’” the Dr uses air quotes “if used to produce a subject innocent in nature will remain where it was last placed for 24 to 48 hours before relocating through some means of teleportation to areas frequently visited by people” the Dr points to areas highlighted on a hand drawn map “if it’s not located it will move to a new location after about 8 hours”

Unnamed associate: “how do you know it has moved from” the associate is interrupted.

████████: “simple, it leaves bits of glitter”

Unnamed associate: “isn’t that dangerous?”

████████: “the glitter only has it’s spreading effects if drawn out intentionally by someone, any spillage due to transportation or teleportation is rendered inert” the Dr opens and handles a vial of red glitter between his bare fingers.

████████: “additionally the projects made with 3863 are also inert”

Unnamed associate: “you mentioned the projects must be innocent in nature, what do you mean?”

████████: “subjects of a violent or sexual nature will always result in the death of the creator by rapid expansion of 3863-1 starting internally and bursting outward” the Dr laughs to himself “its like a bursting balloon full of glitter, there is not human mater remaining after this incident”

Unnamed associate: “is this funny to you?” the associate looks disturbed.

████████: stops laughing “sorry…sorry” the Dr sighs “listen kid if you can't find some humor in a sexually violent criminal exploding into a cloud of rainbow glitter I don’t think we can be friends” restrains himself from laughing again.

Unnamed associate: “you should take this more seriously, people lost their lives in your testing" shakes his head "I think this interview is over, we will review your notes for Containment” the associate collects a stack of files.

████████ was given psychiatric evaluation shortly after.
