SCP-12062
Item #: SCP-12062
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
Containment area is to be kept behind two reverse-pressure airlocks. Chemical shower sterilisation, Full self contained breathing apparatus hazmat suits. Blood tests should be done every 24 hours for ten days after any interaction with SCP-12062. When not being used for research purposes by Site 231 division P Research personnel with clearance of 04 Council as well as on special request of site director, instances of SCP-12062 must be kept suspended in liquid 1-trichloromethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline at -200 degrees celsius to prevent potential aerosolization.
When handling SCP-12062 all interactions must take place within a sterile sealed glass case using “Waldo” robotic manipulators. SCP-12062 should be kept immersed in Paraffinum Liquidum and all testing areas should feature a fumehood connected to incinerator at 2500 degrees Celsius. All atomised samples of SCP-12062 will then be returned to their frozen liquid storage unit.
All instances of SCP-12062-1, SCP-12062-2, and SCP-12062-3 should be terminated on sight with extreme prejudice.
Description:
SCP-12062 is a biological pathogen developed by an unknown Afghani tribesman who delivered it to Dmitriy Vlasov in 1981 who tested and attempted to develop it as a biological weapon and for pharmaceutical purposes. This tradition was carried on by his son Nikolai Vlasov who has been in contact with the pathogen for 18 years and has the highest viral cell count of any infected subject found to date.
The pathogen has been hypothesized to have originated in an alternate reality and as such is particularly hard to quantify. It appears to target human biology and has been observed not to affect non-human animalia however is highly contagious to plant life if the strain of SCP-12062 has not diverted too much from its original variant. In order to affect a victim it must be transmitted via bodily fluid or through liquid ingestion or aerosol inhalation at concentration strength equal or greater than 1PPM. Initially infected victims become instances of SCP-12062-1, these infected gain increased strength and durability and seem to be immune to conventional death, rising with only minor cognitive damage from any trauma that would normally kill a human.
One important property of SCP-12062-1 is a "self-resurrection" effect; when instances of SCP-12062-1 are left in a state where they cannot maintain normally bodily functions such as gaining oxygen or sustenance their cognitive functions will rapidly deteriorate, SCP-12062 will mutate to hijack the subject's nervous system as the subject's own brain structures lose cohesion. The subject then becomes an instance of SCP-12062-2, which will mindlessly seek out other humans to infect, using scratches or bites to make fluid contact.
Viable offspring of SCP-12062-1 gain increased strength and durability above and beyond what is exhibited by their parents as well as “existing in the realm of god” along with our own, this gives them the ability to seemingly teleport. These offspring have the ability to transmit their thoughts which are felt as a whispering aura within a short range of the anomaly, coming to close or making physical contact causes incredible stress on a victims body and psyche along with the potential to become a host for SCP-12062. These subjects are referred to as SCP-12062-3, and their ability phase between dimensions massively reduces the Foundation's options to contain them. No third-generation subjects have been observed at this time.
In cases where multiple SCP-12062-3 congregate the following ambient effects have been observed; scattered ionised electrical field, altered weather conditions which manifest as powerful electrical storms and pin points of green fluorescence that attract vastly increased lightning strikes in close proximity to itself.

Upon completing vivisection of subject SCP-12062-1a “The Prophet” has shown some remarkable and disturbing results, firstly that subject differs in strain from SCP-12062-1b which seems to be a purer strain than that which is exhibited in subject Alpha. SCP-12062-1a shows biology more akin to a plant in some respects with a cell wall and organelles usually only found within a plant, it can gain sustenance from food (though requires a larger caloric intake that one would expect) or can photosynthesise and uses the high concentration of carbon in it cells as a form of biological solar panel. The lithium salts bonded to the subjects red blood cells seem to carry large amounts of energy, to the point where any metallic surgical equipment became magnetic after a short time exposed to subjects bodily fluids. It is our working theory that the electrical effects observed in proximity to SCP-12062-3 are a product of their bodies capacity to store energy and the ionised electrical field this creates.
One interesting piece of information is that while working on SCP-12062-1a it seemed to feel pain and looked in the direction of SCP-12062-1b no matter where subject Beta was moved to. SCP-12062-1b also exhibited psychological stress whenever subject alpha was being vivisected.

*Tests from 2002 show that D-class personnel were not infected by the pathogen when breathing the particulate remains of SCP-12062-1 and SCP-12062-2 that had been rendered harmless by exposure to heat exceeding 2500 degrees Celsius.

SCP-12062-1a has talked about his dreams once again, he talks of God’s Garden, the Tree Upon the World and The Arrival. I have tasked analysts with researching archeological findings along with all references to the tree’s in religion for potential historical instances of contact with SCP-12062.
