SCP-5432

Item #: SCP-5432

Object Class: Keter

SCP-5432, also known as Atom sickness, is a virus that has appeared only one other time in human history in the year of 1988 in the small Mexico town of Sardidad. The contained Atom sickness is held in a metal vial in a liquid form with a soldered on lid. The cell is heavily monitored and guarded at all times with multiple layers of doors to the cell. These procedures are up kept in the event of a terrorist origination trying to seize the virus and to stop any possible breach.

SCP-5432 is a highly contagious sickness that has similar symptoms to the flu, though causes other interesting symptoms. These other symptoms include making the subject uncharacteristically happy, sudden fear of impending doom, death, being able to read the thoughts and emotions of others, ability to predict future events and nightmares of a similarly described man.

Exposure Of SCP-5432 To Miscellaneous Objects And Creatures

Human Uncharacteristic happiness, sudden fear of impending doom, death, being able to read the thoughts and emotions of others, ability to predict future events and nightmares of a similarly described man. (Note: Death is absent if one or more other people has the virus)
Cat Aggressive behavior, constant meowing, meowing preceding unfortunate events, uncharacteristic behaviors and death.
Steel No affect
Dog Barking 10-20 minutes preceding events such someone entering the containment unit, nightmares, spasms, docile behavior for one minute at a time.
Dead Animal Some form of assimilation.
Flammable Substance No effect
Human Brain Sudden reactivation for 10-20 minutes

SCP-5432 Theories

Multiple theories have been proposed on SCP-5432 and its strange affect on people and animals alike.

Likely

Proposal Proposed By Research Group 1B The virus alters brain patterns and cognitive thought and having similar symptoms on it. This explains the similar nightmares, the reactivation of the brain, uncharacteristic happiness, etc.
Proposal Proposed By Research Group 2A A possible remnant of early experiments in a new type of biological warfare that alters the brain. The man in the dream could be giving subliminal messages to subjects of SCP-5432

Unlikely

Proposal Proposed By Research Group 2B SCP-5432 might be the result of some kind of cult experiment that mixes magic and biology.
Proposal Proposed By Research Group 1A SCP-5432 might be of alien origin and being used as some kind of extinction tool.

SCP-5432 Containment Breaches, Unexplained Occurrences and The Ultimate Theory

SCP-5432 is no stranger to unexplained occurrences and containment breaches. Many unusual behaviors have been seen in in SCP-5432 which usually precedes a containment breach of some sort. The first containment breach was minor and started with SCP-5432 shaking in its vial before somehow melting it. SCP-5432 then leaked out under the door.

A few months later SCP-5432 did it again. When trying to figure out how SCP-5432 melted and shook its vial a discovery was made which confirmed that SCP-5432 was indeed conscious.

Another month later SCP-5432 seemed to evolve and took the form of a 2.65 meter red lizard as it ate its way through its vial. SCP-5432 infected one-hundred twenty workers and was eventually contained by agents with flamethrowers heating SCP-5432's solid lizard form into a liquid and containing it in a new vial.

After another month SCP-5432 made its most shocking attempt at escape. The security guard watching the cameras started having violent illusions and intrusive thoughts that led to him stealing the combination to SCP-5432's containment unit and being infected. SCP-5432 then controlled the man into infecting more than six hundred people including non-personnel and leading to an epidemic across San Fran Cisco and a coverup calling it a modified flu was constructed.

Every person contracted with SCP-5432 was quarantined and studied and SCP-5432 was discovered to actually be something different than first thought. The genetic processes that SCP-5432 possessed were not possible in nature but could be simulated by humans in a lab.

SCP-5432 is a virus that stimulates the collective unconscious and activates previously undiscovered genes. Thus causing a connection to any human's emotions in the future past or present which allows them to see into any time. The man, however, is part of the collective unconscious but we are unsure why. Theories include him being God, the first man, a leader of a cult, etc.
