Item #: SCP-ABCD

Object Class: Keter

Threat Level: Orange

Special Containment Procedures: One SCP-ABCD-A specimen held at any time in a modified humanoid containment chamber at Site-219. Once the contained instance of SCP-ABCD-A has reached the age of 60, a new D-Class subject is to be infected, replacing the instance as SCP-ABCD-A. Mass SCP-ABCD spreading events must be prevented at all costs, requiring all involved personnel to strictly adhere to protocol.

Access to SCP-ABCD's containment area is restricted outside of testing and all testing must be approved by a Level 4 staff member. Personnel found attempting to induce an accident outside of approved testing are to be restrained and questioned. This cannot place SCP-ABCD-A in danger, as it may cause SCP-ABCD to spread.

Following an unprovoked accident in containment (see Addendum ABCD-A#2), all of the room's furnishings are to be stored in a separate room, with the intent of limiting the possibility of further uncontrolled accidents. If access to them is required, security personnel are to transport the furnishings, and remove them from the containment chamber once they are no longer needed.

After multiple incident reports, as ordered by Containment Specialist Wood, all medium- to large-scale accidents with few to no fatalities are to be investigated by Mobile Task Force Omicron-67 ("Carriers"). Instances of SCP-ABCD-A are to be terminated.

If the contained instance of SCP-ABCD-A expresses unexpected pain or distress, MTF Omicron-67 teams are to be dispatched to search the instance's Red Zone.

Addendum ABCD-SCP: After several incidents nearly instigating containment breaches, the window in the observation room has been removed. Security personnel and the current instance of SCP-ABCD-A are to communicate via closed-circuit audio channels.

Description: SCP-ABCD designates a phenomenon which causes all infected persons, designated SCP-ABCD-A, to share the effects of accidents.

When an involuntary1 action is executed by or directed against an instance of SCP-ABCD-A, any other human witnessing the accident becomes infected with SCP-ABCD. The spreading effect appies to all instances when sharing an accident. How the "infection" spreads by line of sight is currently unknown. Furthermore, the spreading effect is instantaneous. If no uninfected human witnessed an accident as it happened, the spreading event does not "pause" and all specimens will return to a non-infectious state.

If there is more than one specimen, they all share the experiences from accidents occuring to other specimens in a 600 m radius, hereafter designated the "Red Zone". All specimens inside the Red Zone of the source specimen will share any pain or injury, however, no matter how serious the injury appears to be, it is never fatal (see Addendum ABCD-A#1). Instances of SCP-ABCD-A can die of natural causes or by being killed purposefully. The death of an SCP-ABCD-A instance will cause all other SCP-ABCD-A instances within the Red Zone to lose consciousness for as long as 32 hours 21 minutes.

Addendum ABCD-A#1:
After Incident ABCD-I#5 (report not attached), it has been determined that normally fatal injuries, in addition to causing a spreading event to occur as normal, incapactitate other specimens inside the source specimen's Red Zone. The likelihood of recovering from this catatonic state is near-zero, does, however, increase marginally the further away the affected specimen was when the effect occured. SCP-ABCD-A in this state are referred to as SCP-ABCD-B, 32 2 of which are currently in containment.

Addendum ABCD-A#2: Following an unprovoked accident in which the SCP-ABCD-A instance in containment at the time of writing stubbed his toe on a chair and infected 3 security personnel, one researcher and their assistant, it has been decided that all of the room's furnishings are to be stored in a seperate room that security personnel is to bring them to and from. Containment procedures updated.
