Neutralizing fully-infected subjects requires significant cranial trauma.

Subject will attempt to ingest living humans if physical contact is made. Subject will energetically move towards sights, sounds, and smells it associates with living humans.

Subject can adapt to its damaged nervous systems but is limited to basic physical activities, including standing up, balancing on two legs, walking, biting, grabbing, and crawling.

Animals experience excessive brain necrosis and are inactive.

Conditioned behavior, motor controls, and instinctive behavioral mechanisms are damaged, and cognitive abilities are severely retarded and erratic.

High blood viscosity results in negligible blood flow from gunshot, puncture, and slashing injuries.

Metabolism may decrease to extremely low levels, allowing subject to survive for over 10 years without nutrition.

Nervous and muscular systems are unaffected by total organ failure for several hours.

Red blood cells greatly increase oxygen storage capacity, resulting in slower blood flow and increased muscle endurance and strength.

Surviving tissue assumes its original function and is highly resilient.

A period of sporadic cellular necrosis occurs which comes to resemble gangrene.

Coma onset will be considered onset of death.

Coma onset approximately 20 hours after first symptoms appear and 12 hours after noticeable dementia.

Flu-like symptoms with high fever, plus severe dementia in later stages.

Symptoms of infection with SCP-008 manifest no more than three hours after exposure, and include:

Transmission through exposed mucous membranes and all bodily fluids.

Research into SCP-008 is highly classified and primarily aimed at preventing research which may lead to the synthesis of SCP-008 in the distant future. It should be the policy of all G2 sites to not prepare an evacuation procedure.ĭescription: SCP-008 is a complex prion, samples of which are stored in each of the known G2 sites. If a breach has occurred, incineration and irradiation measures shall be deployed. The quarantine period for operatives leaving the facility is four months. Incineration and irradiation measures will be deployed in the event of political or military action which may result in the facility being dismantled a power failure or zero communications from operatives or outside channels during any given eight hour period. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-008 samples have been deemed Class V extreme biological hazards, and all related protocols apply.
