SCP-016

SCP-016 ("Sentient Micro-Organism") is an anomalous blood-borne pathogen that reacts to the stress of its host, causing a rapid DNA change and transformation of the body that many do not survive.
==History==
=== Discovery and containment===
While working in a coal mine in the United States, a worker injured himself while within a deep coal seam, becoming infected with dormant 016 spores contained within the coal dust. Over the next few days, 016 infected the other mining camp employees, and eventually the CDC crisis team sent to contain the epidemic. 
The SCP Foundation contained the camp, eliminating everyone who was infected. The worker who inadvertently unleashed 016 was captured, and the mineshaft where 016 was found was collapsed using an explosive. A small portion of 016-infected blood was contained, being stored in a petri dish for further testing.Entry Page: 016
===Experimentation===
In order to explore SCP-016's transformative properties, several Class-D Personnel were selected for testing. The first three tests consisted of slowly flooding the cell in order to induce mutation. 
In the first test, D-016-1's mutation caused them to transform into a fish hybrid. The subject was killed after two weeks when the water was drained from the cell, causing them to asphyxiate. D-016-2 instead formed extremely muscular arms and attempted to break out of the cell by punching the door, though asphyxiated before this could happen. D-016-3 formed an organ that swelled in size as it took in water; personnel realized what D-016-3 may be doing, and he was killed by gunshot.
In a different test, D-016-4 was asked to focus on forming wings after infection. The subject was unable to do so, and died from the effects of 016. D-016-5's test was similar, except that the subject was suspended in an acrylic box 305 m (1000 ft) over a mine shaft that would explode after a timer ends. Instead of wings, D-016-5 formed a tentacle that produced a silk-like substance that attached the box to the cable. The bomb detonated after the timer ended, killing the Class-D.Entry Page: 016
Later on, in an identical test, D-11621 formed bat wings and successfully escaped their box. They were eliminated with a Mossberg 500 shotgun, killing them. Their autopsy revealed that the wings formed from the shoulderblades, with genetic testing underway to determine if genes have anything to do with 016 mutation.Wings
