Item #: SCP-5023
Object class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Item SCP-5023 is to be contained in an airtight container, comprised of thick steel and must be under constant guard by at least 4 on site security personnel. All D-Class are to be terminated after experimentation
Personnel working with SCP-5023 are warned not to eat, drink, and are to wear level A personal protective equipment. Full documentation of experimentation with SCP-5023 must be submitted to the site director and SCP-5023 is not to be moved from site-[REDACTED] unless deemed completely necessary with permission from at least 2 members of the 05 council
If a breach of SCP-5023 occurs, on site directors are to implement a Code-Wiskey full site lockdown and security forces are to terminate anyone who has come within 10 metres of SCP-5023 and in the event of SCP-5023 becoming un-containable on site nuclear warheads are to be detonated with no evacuation of anyone infected.
Description: SCP-5023 appears to be a standard black cat with no indication that It could be an anomaly from observation alone. SCP-5023 was recovered when SCP-5023-1 a bacterial disease started spreading in the small town of [REDACTED] in [REDACTED] the disease infected [REDACTED] and killed [REDACTED], before Mobile Task Force Beta-7 took control of the investigation and terminated all of the infected residents. Patient zero was presumably one of the local children who came in contact with the anomaly. SCP-5023 was captured by Mobile Task Force Beta-7 when the anomaly was found in the streets rubbing up against surfaces contaminated with SCP-5023-1 on. SCP-5023 is not very active, and will remain unusually still for days at a time. SCP 5023 doesn’t need food, water or oxygen to survive, how SCP-5023 gains nourishment is currently unknown.
Any individual who comes into contact with SCP-5023 becomes contaminated with SCP-5023-1 a pathogenic bacterium that’s resistant to all known anti-biotics, they also become a host for the pathogen contaminating any surface they come in contact with, making it very communicable and dangerous. SCP-5023 doesn’t seem to affect non-humans.
SCP-5023 has an incubation period of a 3 minutes to 2 hours and can live on surfaces for up to 3 weeks. First symptoms seem similar to other bacterial pathogens like tuberculosis and salmonella. After around 3 hours of symptoms showing the second phase begins and the infected will vomit a red acid mixed with the remains of family members or friends close to the infected individual and a yellow flux will discharge from their eyes and ears, until they pass out from lack of oxygen and die due to suffocation. Said individuals who the subject discharges do not seem to be actually affected.
If the body of the infected is left unattended the area that it is in becomes highly contaminated and even small amounts of exposure to the local area can result in infection.
