Memetic microorganism (SCP-XXXX)

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX samples have been deemed as a class V extreme biological, info, and memetic hazards. Multiple firewalls are in place to stop the infection and spread of SCP-XXXX, but, this is incredibly difficult as having knowledge about SCP-XXXX will make the subject be deemed as SCP-XXXX-2. Due to this, all researchers are to be given class-E anaesthetics to remove all memory of SCP-XXXX on a bi-daily basis and any breach in containment will lead to to all personnel working within 200 meters being given incendiary weaponry to counter SCP-XXXX, excluding D-class personnel. After containment has been re-acquired, all personnel involved are to be given class-E anaesthetics to avoid another containment breach.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a bacterium of unknown origin located at site [REDACTED]. It is an extreme biological, info and memetic hazard as having knowledge about its existence infects the subject and deems them as SCP-XXXX-2. When gaining knowledge of SCP-XXXX's existence, bacterium start to multiply inside the subject, usually in the liver (for unknown reasons), but, sometimes it appears inside the colon. After approximately 1 day the subject begins heavy internal bleeding and goes into cardiac arrest. Approximately 3-4 hours after exposure, the subject starts hearing strange sounds and conversations, starts seeing personnel from the 0-5 council and start tasting iron. Dr Bright is to be assigned the overseer of SCP-XXXX due to his immortality and no need to use anaesthetics.
