Aerial camera feed from SCP-4985's containment chamber. If formation of SCP-4985-A is visible, contact site administration immediately.

Item #: SCP-4985

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4985 is to be stored on a pedestal within its containment chamber at Site-██. The room is to be remotely monitored, a live-feed being present above, and at least one armed guard is to be present in the same sector as the chamber at all times. In the event that SCP-4985-A becomes present outside of a controlled testing environment, the areas surrounding the site of the incident are to be locked down, and a minimum of 3 on-site security units are to be sent to first contain SCP-4985, and then destroy any remaining SCP-4985-A by standard incineration protocol. Liquids are not to be present in SCP-4985's containment chamber, and the presence of any liquid in the chamber is to be reported immediately. SCP-4985 is still to be monitored lightly, as water present in the air of the containment chamber still has the potential to form around and inside of SCP-4985, albeit in small quantities. If SCP-4985-A becomes present on live feed, the same procedure is to be conducted as stated above. Non-human organisms are restricted from entering SCP-4985's containment chamber until further notice.

Physical contact is to be avoided with both SCP-4985 and SCP-4985-A, and all researchers must equip biohazmat suits prior to and throughout testing with SCP-4985. Standard sterilization protocols are to be undergone following any interaction with SCP-4985 or SCP-4985-A.

Description: SCP-4985 is a glass jar, 8.0 cm in diameter and 10.5 cm in height, with an indentation at the top to fit a seal. Based on the appearance of SCP-4985-A, and it's physical similarity to other non-anomalous products in the consumer market, it is designed for containing cheese salsa.
The contents of the jar are a viscous liquid, hereby designated as SCP-4985-A, with the qualities of cheese salsa, resembling that sold by the ██████ company, in [REDACTED]. If any liquid is placed into SCP-4985, the liquid will begin converting into SCP-4985-A at an approximate rate of 5 ml per minute. The liquid in question does not seem to effect SCP-4985-A's properties, nor the rate of conversion. Biological matter is not to be placed inside of SCP-4985, or [DATA EXPUNGED]. Metal and solid substances appear to have no effect when inside of SCP-4985, unless in a liquid form. Conversion is only authorized to take place for testing which involves SCP-4985-A.

When a living organism human makes contact with SCP-4985-A, the subject immediately goes into an unconscious state for as long as physical contact continues between SCP-4985-A and the subject, the subject awakening the moment physical contact with SCP-4985-A is broken. If SCP-4985-A enters the body through any orifice, [DATA EXPUNGED]. Following sterilization procedures, SCP-4985 is to be barred from research for a period of 2 weeks. SCP-4985-A has no anomalous effects on the deceased in any manner. Animals¹ are not to make contact with SCP-4985-A under any circumstances.

There is currently no method of determining the difference between SCP-4985-A and consumer cheese salsa without making physical contact. To prevent the possibility of a breach of containment, SCP-4985-A is to be incinerated following any testing, and SCP-4985 is to contain no SCP-4985-A when in its containment chamber. Research is still ongoing in finding an efficient method of differentiation postponed indefinitely by order of the O5 Council, as of 1/10/2019.

Addendum : Recovery

SCP-4985 was discovered on 8/3/2007, following a police raid on a home located in ████████, Ohio, which had been suspected of housing multiple wanted persons. When authorities entered the building, they found the corpses of 12 individuals, appearing to have been used to undergo an occult ritual. The Foundation was notified of the incident through scheduled sweeps of local media and the home was contained by the Foundation the following day. Class A amnestics were given out to the surrounding community and officers present for the discovery. SCP-4985 was found clutched in the hands of the deceased S████ █████, a known Beta level member within the Chaos Insurgency. The object's anomalous effects became apparent when blood covering SCP-4985 through contact with S████'s corpse was found to be completely absent from the inside of the object, despite blood being visible around the opening. A staff member reported the anomaly, and the object was sent to Site-██, where SCP-4985-A's anomalous effects were initially documented, and appropriate SCP classifications were enacted.

Incident Log A4985

Date : 12/11/2018

Report : As SCP-4985 was being transported from Site-1█ to Site-3█, due to the presence of a massive water leak within SCP-4985's previous containment chamber in Site-1█ and a lack of temporary containment chambers to house SCP-4985 while repairs were put forth. Once within Site-3█, SCP-4985 went missing from its temporary containment chamber, a security locker in Dr. Jones' office, where Dr. Jones offered to store it in during the time prior to SCP-4985's containment chamber being prepped. Unbeknownst to Foundation personnel, Jones was a member of [REDACTED], and, according to journals found in his home after the incident, was attempting to find anomalous items to bring back to his superiors in ████, New York. Jones was not found in his office, and a full site lockdown was initiated.

After MTF units searched the facility for █ hours, Dr. Jones was found dead in a ventilation shaft between the Level 2 restrooms and the office of Doctor █████, who was off-site at the time studying SCP-4███. Jones' body was covered in SCP-4985-A. SCP-4985 was found in a stall in the Level 2 restrooms, knocked over. After Dr. Jones' body was removed from the ventilation system, and SCP-4985-A was removed and effectively sterilized from contaminated rooms, it was found that a previously unobserved growth was covering Jones' body, designated SCP-4985-B. Skin grafts were taken from Dr. Jones' back, legs, arms, and chest, and studied in a laboratory setting. Despite being removed from the body⁴, SCP-4985-B still appeared to move about as before on these grafts. The skin bound to these growths take on a dark, burnt texture, revealing exposed muscle, which quickly becomes coated with dried blood, as shown in the photo above.The growth excretes SCP-4985-A at a rate of roughly 0.21 mL per hour per cm² of affected tissue, and has circular shards of glass present as growths, which vary roughly in size, ranging from 0.5 cm in diameter to about 3.2 cm.

Present within SCP-4985-B growths is an entity designated SCP-4985-C. SCP-4985-C are aware of their surroundings, appearing to acknowledge personnel and instruments around them. SCP-4985-C consume the growths present on victims of SCP-4985-B, using a series of appendages to accomplish this, tearing the growths off from the skin and consuming it whole. SCP-4985-C has the appearance of an Annelid of a dark complexion, with a hole of roughly the same diameter of the creature that appears to function as a means for the creature to vocalize and consume SCP-4985-B, and 2 bent appendages to harvest SCP-4985-B beneath the mouth of the creature. SCP-4985-C is attached to the skin by means that appear to be a growth, extending itself roughly 6 cm from the base of the growth, but is capable of moving this "growth" through unknown means, allowing it to move freely around the body. SCP-4985-C has only displayed one form of vocalization, and it was, as described by researchers present, a "high pitched screeching" (measured to be roughly 90 db) as light was shone at the entity as it was consuming SCP-4985-B, despite the entity having no visible means of detecting this. SCP-4985-C was found on █ of the 15 skin grafts taken, with no more than 1 instance being on each tissue. Cross testing between tissues were not run, due to orders given by head researchers, and thus it is not known how instances of SCP-4985-C interact with one another.

When a sample of SCP-4985-B was looked into thoroughly to determine its biological traits on the cellular level, researchers quickly noted amino acid chains, proteins, and other cell structures resembling that of those within the cells of SCP-███, SCP-4███, and SCP-2███, representing highly contagious pathogens. Furthermore, skin samples from an entity of SCP-4985-C contained [DATA EXPUNGED BY ORDER OF THE O5 COUNCIL]. Due to the presence of these substances in all samples of SCP-4985-B and SCP-4985-C, which have the potential to bring about a containment breach of several anomalous highly-contagious pathogens, all skin samples were immediately incinerated, and any attempts to look into the methods used to bring about these growths is forbidden, with research only being allowed in looking into SCP-4985-A's anesthetic properties in a heavily monitored setting. All personnel involved with the discovery and study of SCP-4985-B and SCP-4985-C were given Class B amnestics, and, if the individual showed signs of being compromised by a contagious substance, terminated. The existence of SCP-4985-B and SCP-4985-C is to remain unknown to all personnel of Level 3 security or lower.

If SCP-4985-B or SCP-4985-C is found to be present on any personnel or civilians, a breach of containment is to be triggered, and all affected individuals are to be terminated and bodies incinerated immediately. Following this, all personnel involved are to be given Class A Amnestics, following a test to determine whether the individual is compromised by [DATA EXPUNGED], in which case the subject is to be immediately terminated, and the individual's family is to be surveilled for a period of █ months.
