Evilhyena 2

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX samples are only allowed to be accessed by class 3 personnel or higher. The current host of SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a 2.2 by 2.2 by 2.4 m room with walls covered by copper to counteract the acidic nature of the spores, and is to be kept to 15.5 °C at all times. In case of a SCP-XXXX outbreak within the facility the wing it is located in is to be quarantined and all other SCPs promptly removed from the wing. All staff within the wing during the outbreak are to be quarantined and tested for signs of infection with those who are infected being immediately terminated. Any personnel entering SCP-XXXX's containment center or the cell of the host are to wear a level A hazmat suit containing a two way radio.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a fungal infection, samples of which are stored at every foundation G2 site. Research and documentation of SCP-XXXX is classified and aimed towards lowering the chances of SCP-XXXX evolving in the future. The current traits of SCP-XXXX are as stated below.

Approximately 100% of those who come into contact with SCP-XXXX have become infected. There is 90% rate of lethality observed among subjects within a period of three weeks after infection.

Transmission through physical contact, mucous membranes, and bodily fluids occur during the first stage,however during later stages which occurs approximately 1-2 weeks after initial infection show the ability to go airborne.It currently does not show any signs of being waterborne in any of the stages. SCP-XXXX has also shown an increased rate of infection in warmer climates.

some symptoms of SCP-XXXX appear within approximately 3 hours to 16 days after initial infection via spores and are:

• Confusion, occurs exactly 3 hours after infection
• Unusual discharge from both males and females, such as red clumps. It has not been found out what these are, but researchers have observed traces of hair, feces, and small traces of Fistulina hepatica within them.
• severe hemoptysis, observed within 7 to 8 hours after infection
• Severe fever, observed within 19 hours of infection
• Extreme difficulty breathing, occurs within 24 hours of infection
• Emphysema, occurs two days after infection
• erythema nodosum, observed within 2 days of infection
• Joint pain, occurs 3 days after infection
• Swollen tissue, occurs 4 days after infection
• Conjunctivitis, occurs 5 days after infection
• Enlargement of lymph nodes located in the liver and spleen, occurs 5-6 days after infection
• Abscess of the brain, occurs approximately 10 days after infection
• Nerve inflammation that will lead to paralysis, occurs 15 days after infection
• Liver and kidney malfunction observed within 16 days of infection
• Skin starts to harden on the 17th day of infection, after testing it is shown that the skin is very resilient to most attacks, and acts as an armor. However, it can be easily burnt off at a temperature of 200° C.
• Within the latest stages of the infection, the subject will feel pain around the lumbar and thoracic spine.
• If the host is alive approximately 4 weeks after infection begins, the skin will harden further, researchers describe the texture and hardness of it similar to that of a bone. Upon examination it is revealed that the skin now has elements of collagen and calcium phosphate within it.

Upon further examination it is revealed fungi has pierced through the epidermis and is growing. Around 20 hours after piercing the epidermis the spores burst, spreading the disease into the air and infecting anyone in a area of 112 meters. Once the spores burst all life will cease from the host of SCP-XXXX.

Addendum: Acquisition SCP-XXXX was discovered when reports of an outbreak coming from a rural town in ███████. Containment agents quarantined all those infected and brought the last surviving host to site ██, where he has survived longer than any other subject infected with SCP-XXXX, there is a possibility the virus may actually be keeping him alive to infect others. It has been found that many individuals infected with SCP-XXXX have been infected with tinea cruris in the past, the correlation between the two is currently being investigated.

Addendum: Autopsy Autopsy on D-03298, the first subject we exposed to a strain of SCP-XXXX, shows all the normal symptoms you would see on a host of the virus. However, when examining the throat we found traces of blastocladiomycota within the larynx . No other autopsies record this, so the possibility that SCP-XXXX is able to rapidly evolve within months is something to take into account when dealing with it. Dr.█████████ requests for more autopsies to be performed on subjects infected with SCP-XXXX in the future.

Addendum: Update Recent inspection reveal the spores belonging to SCP-XXXX have developed a weak acidic quality to them as evident by the corrosion on the walls around the current host of SCP-XXXX. Due to SCP-XXXX's rapidly evolving nature the foundation have lined the walls with a nickel alloy to counteract the corrosive nature that SCP-XXXX now displays.

Addendum: Update 2 As of ██/██/████ subjects infected with SCP-XXXX no longer expire from it. Instead, the virus keeps them alive throughout the infection, almost as if it is aware of it's containment and is keeping it's host alive in case of a containment breach. Subjects who survive past the normal life expectancy with SCP-XXXX are completely immobilized and over time the fungi growing out of the epidermis attaches to the wall, and over time the host will be completely covered with an exception to the nasal passages. Upon further inspection of the host it is to be noted that the host feels nothing during this stage. Diagnostic trials are being carried out underway in hope that we will be able to limit the spread of SCP-XXXX and be able to quickly quarantine any infected individuals.
