SCP-510 in progression of "Stage 2" on subject.
Item #: SCP-510
Containment units must have air-tight seals on any and all possible access points.
Staff access is to be provided by a dual airlock, with chemical showers at each
stage. Robotic surrogates are to be used whenever possible for SCP-510 interaction,
and all materials interacting with SCP-510 are to be sterilized and quarantined for
one month after interaction. Seals are to be checked and repaired weekly.
SCP-510 infests soft surfaces such as fabric, feathers, hair, or foam, with the
ability to remain dormant in such substances for years. If SCP-510 encounters delta
waves, typically emitted by humans entering sleep, SCP-510 will �activate�, and
begin to infest any nearby organic life. Infestation follows a set progression (See
Addendum 84-B: Symptoms and Progression), most often ending with the �death� of
infested subjects after 4 to 6 days.
SCP-510 appears to prefer mammalian life for infestation, primarily human beings.
Attempts to artificially �infest� other life forms have met with very limited
success. Possible applications of SCP-510 and its �life support� function are being
researched. High heat and highly acidic chemicals have been able to "dissolve" SCP-
510 particles. Dissolved particles leave behind no detectable residue.
Stage 1: Infestation
Symptoms: Exhaustion, fatigue, sleepiness, general listlessness, itchy eyes,
general head pain.
Description: SCP-510 begins to form sting-like extrusions, which anchor into the
skin. Extrusions continue to grow into the skin, contacting all major organs and
systems in 8 to 24 hours. Subjects will grow progressively more tired during this
time, and will seek out quiet, dark areas in which to sleep.
Stage 2: Initial Manifestation.
Symptoms: Deep coma, �pillow� formation by SCP-510 on the body, progressive
invasion of biological systems (nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, etc.)
Description: SCP-510 forms large, pillow-like growths on the body. These growths
are warm, and emit a soft light, with a texture described as �microfiber plush�.
Subjects slip into a deep coma, becoming totally unresponsive to any and all
outside stimuli. SCP-510 will start to �take over� biological systems, causing
blood, neural activity, and even oxygen to pass through the growths before being
returned to the subject. It has been observed that subjects in this stage enter a
dream state more vivid than standard REM sleep.
Description: SCP-510 takes full control of all biological functions for the host
organism. Damage to the growths at this point will result in the immediate death of
the host, as the growths are now performing all biological functions for the body.
A form of �accelerated atrophy� sets in, with muscular and skeletal structures
beginning to weaken and shrink, and total shut-down of most organs. Subjects are
observed to lose 44% of their body mass during this stage. SCP-510 will directly
bond to the skin, replacing the thin �threads� with larger protrusions of the
growths. The brain begins to slow down, and does not register any pain or awareness
of these changes, showing high stimulation in areas with contentment and comfort.
Stage 4: Conversion
Symptoms: Rapid growth of SCP-510. Major reduction in host physical mass.
Absorption of major organs and tissues by SCP-510. Host�s brain enters the �Deep
Dream� state.
Description: SCP-510 absorbs the remaining tissues, including the brain, over a
period of 12 to 14 hours. Brain scans show highly elevated levels of activity,
consistent with extreme fear or pain at this point, which slowly shift back into a
more �relaxed� state as the brain is absorbed. After full absorption, SCP-510 will
break down into individual particles, with a full break down of the growths after
three hours. Particles will then float in the air, until making contact with a
receptive surface.
