SCP-009 V1

## **Special Containment Procedures:**

SCP-009-A must be contained in separate sterilized Petri dish cultures. Bio-lab temperatures must stay below room temperature as to keep SCP-009-A in dormant state. Bio-lab access is allowed to biomedical personnel or if exclusive personnel get clearance and is instructed on proper sterilization procedures. All persons exposed to SCP-009-A must be sterilized immediately after leaving Bio-lab. A bi-weekly blood test is mandatory to personnel assigned to SCP-009-A. Blood tests are mandatory for all who come within a distance of 3 meters of virus cultures. It is mandatory for all personnel handling SCP-009-A to wear a hazmat suit. Personnel found to be infected must be terminated, incineration at 1811 Kelvin.

SCP-009-B must be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell. Air ventilation has to be disconnected from central air system. SCP-009-B must be observed at all times as to prevent SCP-009-B attempting escape. Any unusual activity must be reported immediately. Sharp objects are not allowed to come in contact with SCP-009-B or else SCP-009-B will attempt suicide. Food provided to SCP-009-B must be rich in iron, potassium, copper, manganese, and cobalt. It is recommended to keep SCP-009-B alive at all times. In the case of death, the location of next SCP-009-B must be found.

## Descriptions:

### SCP-009-A: Virus

SCP-009-A is a microbial cybernetic organism or nanovirus found to be highly contagious. The strain possesses abilities to replicate quickly and spread via vapors and liquids. It is unknown how many SCP-009-A infected are uncontained at this time. SCP-009-A’s origin is unknown although it is mostly speculated that it is extraterrestrial in origin. SCP-009-A is comprised of almost all unknown metallic elements. Recognizable metals are those commonly found human biological processes such as iron, copper, manganese, and cobalt. Unknown metals appear to have similar biological functions commonly found in cell mitosis and meiosis. The nanovirus is found to be dormant in all infected subjects except for active host. SCP-009-A was found to not replicate unless they are within 50 kilometers of SCP-009-B. This would mean all SCP-009-A communicate on an unidentified wavelength we are as yet to locate.

SCP-009-A seems to eradicate itself quickly in animal test subjects. Tests on chimpanzee’s, mice, and dog’s give rise to information of some sort of immunity to the strain. It is advised to keep all SCP personnel clean of the virus in case of breach. SCP-009-A seems to have an abnormal ability to choose active hosts randomly; in case of breach all infected personnel have a 29% chance to become active host. Currently there is no active cure for SCP-009-A, although it has benign effect in infected subjects for exception of the active host.

### SCP-009-B: Active Host

Effects of SCP-009-A on active host or SCP-009-B are enhanced strength, intelligence, and homicidal urges. All previous traces of personality of the host before infection are almost eradicated as it assimilates the hosts knowledge and memories. All active hosts appear to possess a vast engineering and biochemical knowledge; active hosts have the ability to create military grade weapons from common items. Current active host has been found during a terrorist attack in [REDACTED] killing 54 citizens with a modified gas bomb. The previous contained host died due to nutritional deficiency, SCP-009-A has the ability to self replicate from various nutritional metals such as iron and copper. Excess SCP-009-A can be breathed out from SCP-009-B. Due to this abnormal effect, all active hosts are highly contagious and has an estimated lifetime of three weeks out of containment. SCP-009-B currently in containment however has lived much longer thanks to the foundation.

Personnel attempting to study the host is advised to not make physical contact with SCP-009-B. If personnel are required to enter same room as SCP-009-B to perform study, wearing a hazmat suit is mandatory such as proper sterilization procedures after contact as well as a mandatory blood test. It is believed that if infected personnel are to become SCP-009-B it could create a mass breach in an attempt to eliminate the SCP Foundation as a threat. All incidents and escape attempts will be covered in its record. Currently, the intentions of SCP-009-B and the purpose of SCP-009-A are unknown. It is recommended that there should be no complacency in safety procedures, for the safety of the foundation and its personnel.
