Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX and instances of SCP-XXXX-X are contained at Site 66. SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a collection of sealed 500 mL polyethylene terephthalate bottles secured in a dedicated containment locker when not under research. All instances of SCP-XXXX-X are to be kept in sealed polyethylene terephthalate bins and secured in dedicated containment lockers when not under research. Level A biohazard suits must be used when inspecting, transporting, or handling SCP-XXXX and/or instances of SCP-XXXX-X.
While the originating cause of SCP-XXXX and instances of SCP-XXXX-X is unknown, containment personnel shall monitor social media, internet searches, and emergency call logs for potential cases of civilian exposure to SCP-XXXX or instances of SCP-XXXX-X. Any civilians known or suspected to have been exposed to SCP-XXXX or an instance of SCP-XXXX-X must be taken into Foundation custody, placed in quarantine, and monitored for the effects of exposure. Civilians who show no effects of exposure after 72 hours of quarantine and observation may be administered a Class-B amnestic and released from Foundation custody. Civilians who witness the effects of exposure to SCP-XXXX are to be interviewed and subsequently administered a Class-B amnestic. Any personnel who experience direct skin contact with SCP-XXXX must be placed into quarantine and observed until they succumb to the effects of SCP-XXXX. The remains of those exposed to SCP-XXXX must be cremated at a temperature of at least 900 C, after which the ashes may be disposed of without risk.
Researchers are encouraged to submit proposals to Dr. Bridge for investigations into SCP-XXXX, in particular investigations to determine the source of SCP-XXXX as well as possible treatments/cures for the effects of SCP-XXXX.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a homogeneous ochre liquid with a density of 0.99 g/cm^3 (+/- 0.005 g/cm^3), a viscousity of 15,300 cP (+/- 100 cP), and a freezing temperature of -45 C (+/- 0.05 C). SCP-XXXX does not have a boiling temperature per se, but rather undergoes dissociation at temperatures above 650 C (+/- 1 C). SCP-XXXX is composed primarily of oxegen (64.5% by mass), carbon (19.2%), hydrogen (9.0%), and nitrogen (3.3%), with trace amounts of other elements. Although the atomic composition of SCP-XXXX has been measured using mass spectrometry of the dissociation products, the chemical composition of SCP-XXXX is currently unknown.
SCP-XXXX is found in instances of SCP-XXXX-X, which are individually designated as SCP-2581-1 through SCP-2581-112 as of the date of this log (██/██/2018). Instances of SCP-XXXX-X are typically articles of clothing or personal accessories including shoes, coats, pants, and purses. The amount of SCP-XXXX recovered from specific instances of SCP-XXXX-X varies from roughly 10 mL to 220 mL. Civilian exposure to SCP-XXXX typically occurs during routine use of SCP-XXXX-X without the user being aware of the presence of SCP-XXXX. For example, a 29 year old woman exposed herself to SCP-XXXX when she reached into her purse to retrieve her car keys (the purse was retrieved and is now designated SCP-XXXX-15). It is unknown how or why SCP-XXXX manifests in instances of SCP-XXXX-X. In all insidents where the relevant information was attainable by the Foundation, SCP-XXXX manifested at least 18 months after purchase and first use of instances of SCP-XXXX-X. Aside from the manifestation of SCP-XXXX, instances of SCP-XXXX-X are otherwise indistinguishable from other mass-produced copies of the same item: for example, SCP-XXXX-15 appears identical to other purses manufactured at the same time in the same style by the same brand.
Within 5 hours of direct skin exposure to SCP-XXXX, the exposed person will develop an elivated body temperature between approximately 38.5 C and 39.5 C and will suffer complete loss of muscle function in the feet, legs, and hips. Within 12 hours of exposure, the fever will rise to between 41 and 42 C, and loss of muscle function will spread to the lips and tounge. The fever will continue to rise until the exposed person dies, usually with 24 hours of exposure. Attempts to prevent or delay these effects have included immediate amputation of exposed limbs and ice baths as fever progresses, but these have all failed to alter the progression of effects following exposure.
