Special Containment Procedures: SCP-008 is contained within a sealed vessel and can expel gas at will via activation of a lever. The containment chamber is equipped with an airlock that may be operated manually or through designated control buttons. An observation deck with bulletproof glass allows for safe monitoring of SCP-008. The chamber also includes a failsafe gas system capable of inducing asphyxiation and organ failure in any organism present.
Access to SCP-008’s containment chamber is restricted to Level-4 personnel.
Description: SCP-008 appears to be an ordinary gas but is composed of complex prions with properties similar to steam. Inhalation of SCP-008 induces rapid systemic failure causing normal bodily functions to abruptly cease. Following full transformation, the subject’s skin turns green and the body collapses.
Individuals affected by SCP-008 are designated SCP-008-2. These entities are capable of forcibly breaching barriers such as doors, and transmission occurs via physical contact with victims of SCP-008-2 become infected and undergo the same transformation process.
