SCP-009 - "Red Ice"

Category:SCP
Category:Moderate Containment Zone
Category:Keter
SCP-009, AKA "Red Ice", is a class and indestructible anomaly held within the Moderate Containment Zone in Site Epsilon. SCP-009 appears as an anomalous red crystal of unknown origin, similar in appearance to ice. SCP-009 infects all living entities that come into contact with it by ‘freezing’ them and forming deeply saturated red crystals on their skin, players wearing a P3MPS suit will not be effected. Such living entities contacting SCP-009 are classified as SCP-009-1. Subjects that come into direct contact with either SCP-009 or SCP-009-1 will immediately collapse and undergo biological changes. Such changes consist of:
* Losing all body hair and distinguishing features;
* Manifesting a ‘zombie’-like expression;
* Reddening clothing, accessories, and skin;
The crystals forming on SCP-009-1’s skin appear to be greatly luminant. It’s worth noting that motoric functions appear normal, however, despite the instances holding visibly suspecting weight from the crystals. SCP-009-1 instances are immune to the Foundation Code.
== Containment ==
SCP-009 is held within the Moderate Containment Zone in Site Epsilon. SCP-009 is shielded by a tall circular TWS (temporary wall system), accessible only through a mantrap door system. The enclosure created by the TWS offers a large area and can be viewed from both the catwalks and the secure observation area. While the observation area does not contain much furniture, the inner chamber is equipped with various field laboratories and work spaces, improvised offices, and storage.

=== History ===
Before the Destruction of Site Epsilon SCP-009 had a much taller and grandiose containment chamber, still in the Moderate Containment Zone. It contained two stories and a laboratory in the back.
== Testing ==
To test on SCP-009, adhere to the following regulations:
* Requires the rank of Analyst or above (BRD);
* Must wear P3MPS to enter the inner containment chamber [BRD ONLY];
* Cross-testing requires permission from Analyst Supervisor+ (ScD ONLY];
* SD:CD ratio of 1:2 is to be adhered to;
* Requires 1 C-9 unit, which can be replaced with 1 CSU unit if unavailable;
* Requires 1 CSU unit, which can be replaced with 1 Specialized Unit if unavailable;
* Unethical tests using SCP-009 require approval from the Chief Analyst, in addition to the regular permissions needed for unethical testing;
* No more than three spectators are authorized;
** BRD, EC, ISS and SC-4 personnel are excluded from the maximum.
More information can be found in the SCP-009 Testing Handbook.
== Recontainment ==
SCP-009 is prone to breaching as rouge CDs will often purposely get infected and create an outbreak. If this happens, MTF and CSU should be notified and non-combatives should be removed from the area. SD should then disregard positioning themselves within the SD Armory/Breach Shelter, and prioritize terminating all SCP-009 instances. They should attempt to shoot/flamethrower/tranquilize all SCP-009-1 instances from a safe distance or height. SD should also listen to MTF's and CSU orders at all times and avoid bunching up or using an unnecessary amount of operatives. Red Heron should only be called if there are 10+ infected instances.
