An unused SCP-1096 instance was recovered following a raid on an 
underground plastic surgery clinic in [REDACTED], and the following 
damaged documentation recovered from the scene:

The surgeon, about to perform a procedure on a female subject, 
was shot and killed during the raid after drawing a firearm on Mobile 
Task Force [REDACTED] members and was unable to be 
questioned. The female subject was administered a Class A 
amnestic and released following a thorough investigation and 
background check that turned up no additional information.

SCP-1097: Liquefied Empath 


Item #: SCP-1097 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1097 is to be fully 
enclosed within a reinforced, pressurized stainless steel container at 
all times. SCP-1097 is to be kept at a minimum of 2200 kPa. 


SCP-1097 is to be contained in a Type D concrete bunker, modified 
to include retractable seals on air vents capable of withstanding 
prolonged exposure to liquids with a pH level between 11.3 and 
13.5. In the event of a containment breach, this bunker is to be 
completely sealed until further notice by the Security Director. 


SCP-1097 is to be contained at Site-17. The containment bunker is 
to be located at least 50 meters away from all other staff 
workspaces and SCP-designated objects. Samples of SCP-1097 
are to be extracted via remote-controlled robotic equipment, and all 
maintenance of containment equipment is to be performed by 
approved laboratory robotics. No staff or test subjects are allowed to 
be within 10 m of SCP-1097 unless permission is granted by the 
Research Director. 


A total volume of SCP-1097 exceeding 2.5 L may not be removed 
from containment at any given time without authorization from the 
Research Director. 


Description: SCP-1097 is 72.3 L of a dark brown, viscous fluid 
composed of a mixture of water, sodium hydroxide, and liquefied 
human remains. In an automated, laboratory environment, 
SCP-1097 exhibits physical characteristics consistent with fluids 
composed of a similar mixture of materials. 


When a human approaches within approximately 5 m of any portion 
of SCP-1097 greater than 2.8 L, its anomalous properties manifest. 


SCP-1097 will first alter its shape to mimic the physical form of that 
person. SCP-1097 achieves this by manipulating its density so as to 
achieve a semi-solid state; SCP-1097 can also completely solidify 
portions of itself for a limited duration, to a maximum observed 
hardness of 152 HV30. During this process, SCP-1097 maintains its 
dark brown, viscous appearance, albeit in a shape analogous to the 
subject. The appearance of SCP-1097 in motion is similar to that of 
a ferromagnetic fluid being manipulated by an electromagnetic field. 


In addition to simulating a subject's physical form, SCP-1097 will 
also imitate a subject's mental characteristics and behavioral traits 
to the best of its ability. While SCP-1097's ability to communicate is 
limited, it will display physical mannerisms and attitudes similar to 
those previously observed in the subject. Tests using EEG monitors 
have shown that SCP-1097 will exhibit brain activity in the exact 
same manner as its subject. Current research suggests that 
SCP-1097 does not possess any true sapience of its own; any 
actions or characteristics appearing as independent thought are 
merely a complex reaction catalyzed by the proximity of a sapient 
being. 


When more than one person enters SCP-1097's area of effect, its 
appearance and reactions become far more unpredictable. In a 
multiple-subject scenario, SCP-1097 has been documented to 
assume an array of physical aspects, in some cases deviating 
radically from the humanoid form. SCP-1097 will also demonstrate 
substantial variance in behavioral patterns; SCP-1097 has been 
documented on some of these occasions to be hostile and 
extremely aggressive. When agitated, SCP-1097 will use its ability 
to harden itself, as well as its innate caustic properties, to attack and 
seriously injure staff.

SCP-1098: Virulent Word 


Item #: SCP-1098 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All written instances of 
SCP-1098 are to be burned, painted over, or otherwise obliterated. 
A single recorded instance is kept on a standard audiocasette for 
study. Under no circumstances should this recording be digitized. 


All instances of SCP-1098-1 are to be contained in converted class- 
D barracks. They are to be provided food from the site cafeteria at 
regular mealtimes. Under no circumstances may they be given 
writing implements or recording media. A television and puzzles and 
games are to be provided for entertainment of the SCP-1098-1 
instances. The barracks must be soundproofed to STC 60+. 


Two guards are to be posted at the door of the SCP-1098-1 
barracks. All guards are to wear full-ear headphones equipped with 
active filters designed to scramble human speech. 


Description: SCP-1098 is a -syllable word, with a phoneme pattern 
consistent with origin among modern speakers of American English. 
It appears to have no effect on non-English speakers. Persons 
reading or hearing SCP-1098 in context report that is euphonious 
and somewhat humorous. Exposure to SCP-1098 out of context 
appears to be safe but this has not been conclusively established. 


Exposure to SCP-1098 in written or spoken form may lead to 
infection, with increasing probability for each additional exposure. 
There is an inverse correlation between the size of an individual's 
working vocabulary and their susceptibility to infection, but this has 
not been rigorously quantified. Persons in the earliest phases of 
infection appear to be the most contagious. 


Infected individuals (hereafter known as SCP-1098-1) will begin to 


use SCP-1098 preferentially as a placeholder name (similarly to 
"whatchamacallit’, "thingamajig" or "whatshisname") and respond 
positively to its use by others. 


Example usage: 


"Hey Ray, can you hand me that [REDACTED]? No, not 
that one, the frickin' [REDACTED] over there." 


Within 2-3 weeks of exposure, SCP-1098-1 will begin substituting 
SCP-1098 for other parts of speech with increasing frequency. 
Initially it is possible to communicate with SCP-1098-1 by inferring 
the intended meaning of SCP-1098 from context, but soon the 
prevalence of SCP-1098 in speech becomes so high that only other 
instances of SCP-1098-1 are able to comprehend it. In the final 
stages of infection, every utterance of SCP-1098-1 becomes a string 
of variously-inflected instances of SCP-1098. These effects also 
appear in written communication. 


Instances of SCP-1098-1 are generally cooperative, but express 
distress upon discovering that they cannot be understood. When 
speaking with other instances of SCP-1098-1, they appear relieved 
or even elated. Standardized testing confirms that they have no 
cognitive impairment other than their muddled speech.

SCP-1099: Spawn-Water 


Item #: SCP-1099 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1099-1 is held at 
biological research Area 45 in a 24mx7mx7m fiberglass tank. The 
floor of the containment and research area is a graphite-coated 
stainless-steel grate supported over a 24m radius, 15m deep tank of 
saline solution. All experimentation must be overseen by at least 
one (1) level 3 or higher researcher. All personnel (excluding D- 
Class) entering the containment area require class B hazmat 
protection. No stray ferrous or magnetic objects (excluding those 
being used for research) are allowed. After every experimental 
session, the entire containment/research area and all personnel are 
to be saturated with saline solution by way of chamber-integrated 
sprayers. 


Description: SCP-1099-1 is chemically water, but possesses a 
magnetic dipole approximately the strength of neodymium. This 
liquid is also an anti-emulsifier, unable to mix with oil or normal 
water and remains in a single area by way of self-attraction. 
Particulate tests have shown that the liquid "flows" independently 
aligned with the nearest geomagnetic pole and attracts ferrous 
objects. Samples of the liquid that are boiled, distilled, or ionized 
condense into normal water. Similar loss of effect is noted when 
SCP-1099-1 is salinated, becoming ordinary saltwater. Freezing 
SCP-1099-1 effectively creates an ice bar-magnet, and it retains its 
unique exposure effects when it returns to a liquid state. 


Sensitive Material: Access Restricted 


The remarkably transdermal liquid is absorbed quickly into human 
skin upon contact. The area soon becomes inflamed, and will spasm 
of its own accord. Necrosis swiftly sets in at the edges of the 
affected area. Deep and necrotic avulsion injuries are left behind 


exposing bone and tendon, severing major arteries, and causing 
blood infection. In most cases, swift application of heavily salinated 
water halts symptoms. Treated exposure may still cause infection, 
scarring, and necrosis of the exposed area. As such, at least two (2) 
medical personnel must be on hand for all experiments. 


An untreated exposure will slowly work its way free of its host with 
increasingly coordinated movements, utilizing swift necrosis to peel 
itself away. The avulsed flesh itself is an iteration of SCP-1099-2. 
Once free, the flesh will begin willfully crawling (not unlike an 
earthworm or maggot) in the direction of the nearest source of fresh 
water. If left in a sealed chamber, the iteration will crawl in circles 
and eventually slow as necrosis sets in. Isolated specimens that 
"die" of dehydration show no difference from normally decaying 
human flesh. 


Iterations exposed to salt or saltwater seize and halt movement 
suddenly as their entire structure is suffused with salt crystal within 
seconds. Specimens that "die" of salt exposure show no difference 
from normal (albeit brined) human flesh and do not reanimate upon 
rehydration. Water examined after rehydration of brine-dead 
specimens shows no abnormal traits. 


When exposed to fresh water, an iteration will begin "swimming" 
with rhythmic movements (if submerged) or rolling and thrashing (if 
in shallow water) and will swell by way of water-bloating. After taking 
on approximately 50% of its own mass in bloat, it will begin 
convulsing and eventually will fissure its own surface. The fissures 
will first leak enough SCP-1099-1 to isolate itself from the 
surrounding water. From each fissure will emerge an iteration of 
SCP-1099-3, which will immediately begin eating the now-shed flesh 
layer. 


SCP-1099-3 are smooth-skinned water-dwelling scavengers of 
unknown classification. These water-worms have rudimentary 
mouths used to eat small bits of rotted meat and flotsam and will 
also scavenge water-bottom silt for nutrition. Specimens dissected 
show an eel-like 'sheath’, internal structure resembling a nudibranch, 
and no reproductive organs. The worms breathe through their skin, 
outputting SCP-1099-1 as a waste product. These worms 
sometimes maintain vestiges of parts from the flesh which they 


shed: cosmetic protrusions resembling lips, noses, and earlobes. 
Handling of SCP-1099-3 without listed precautions results in 
SCP-1099-1 exposure. The largest iteration on record is 6m long 
and approximately 8cm in circumference (LOG-1099-D101). The 
smallest iteration on record is approximately .5 cm long (LOG-1099- 
D010)
