Speaker 1 (00:05):
This is data Specialist standers of the Data Redundancy Project
SEP six thirty two object class is EUCLID Special Containment procedures.
A live colony of SCP six thirty two is currently
kept in a twenty centimeter by forty centimeter by twenty
centimeter sealed enclosure in the biological containment wing of Site

(00:25):
fifty two. Sufficient amounts of prey, insects and water must
be administered weekly through a vacuum shoot at the site
of the enclosure. Both live and deceased samples of sp
six thirty two must be handled by personnel wearing full
body respiratory protective gear. Skin contact with SEP six thirty
two instances is to be avoided at all times. Personnel

(00:49):
reporting headaches, sensations of spider silk on skin, and intrusive
thoughts about spiders must submit to MRI scans to determine
the presence of SEP six thirty two manifestation. Affected individuals
are to be sedated and restrained before the onset of
late stage manifestation, and any newly formed SEP six thirty
two instances are to be surgically removed. Uncontained instances of

(01:14):
SEP six thirty two in the wild are to be
destroyed on site. Description SEP six thirty two is a
type of aracnet that reproduces via unconventional means. Mature instances
measure ten to fifteen millimeters in length and are highly social,
living in colonies numbering up to five hundred individuals. While
the exoskeleton of SP six thirty two instances is composed

(01:37):
of a substance resembling calcified fat, the interior is almost
entirely derived from differentiated human brain tissue. SEP six thirty
two is unusual among theractid species in that both male
and female SEP six thirty two are physiologically similar. Sexual
organs of both appear to be merely vestigial, likely as

(01:58):
a result of its reproductive methods. SEP six thirty two
reproduces by exposing a human host to an array of
sensory triggers. Such triggers include the visual patterns on SEP
thirty two's abdomen, the tactile sensation produced by SEP thirty
two crawling on human skin, and several as yet unidentified
chemical compounds released by mature SEP six thirty two instances.

(02:23):
Two to three hours following exposure to all of SCP
six thirty two sensory triggers, affected individuals will experience mild headaches,
sensations of spider silk on their skin, and repeated intrusive
thoughts about spiders. MRI scans at this stage of infection
reveal the presence of hundreds of small filament like structures
measuring two to three centimeters in length forming in the

(02:45):
frontal cortex of infected individual's brains. The mechanism of cellular
differentiation is as yet unknown to foundation researchers, but is
presumed to be similar to redacted observed in victims of
SCP twelve oh four. The pressure exerted on cerebral blood
vessels by these structures causes headaches and affected individuals localized

(03:06):
towards the front of the skull. Repeated tapping on the
affected areas causes the filament like structures to release large
amounts of endorphins, effectively alleviating the pain caused by their swelling.
Growth of such structures can be halted via timely administration
of class B amnestics. However, while this method prevents total
SEP six thirty two manifestation from occurring, it does not

(03:29):
cause existing symptoms to abate. As SEP six thirty two
manifestation progresses, affected individuals will experience gradual thinning of the
interior brain, lining, and skull as bone, muscle, and fat
tissue is gradually incorporated into the filament like structures in
the frontal cortex. Six to seven days following initial exposure,

(03:49):
headaches experienced by affected individuals will increase sharply in intensity
and duration. This is due to the filament like structures
having already developed fully into an instances of juvenile SCP
six thirty two, which greatly exacerbate the pressure on the
cerebral blood vessels via their movements. Affected individuals at this
point tend to apply increasing amounts of force to their

(04:12):
foreheads in order to release enough endorphins to reduce the
pain to tolerable levels. Eventually, most affected individuals and of
fracturing their own skulls through accidental application of excessive force,
at which point eighty to two hundred instances of SEP
six thirty two will exit the brain from the weakened
point in the forehead. Complete SCP six thirty two manifestation

(04:34):
is usually fatal. However, if promptly attended to by qualified
medical personnel. Eighty six percent of hosts in the final
stage of SEP six thirty two manifestation do manage to survive,
albeit with a permanent decrease in motor function, reduced impulse control,
and severe arachnophobia. Breach event log listed date, location, breach

(04:57):
event casualties. Octo Ober ninth, nineteen seventy two Redacted Onwi Province.
The entire town was reportedly found bludgeoned to death. Rapid
response team discovered numerous SEP six thirty two supercolonies, each
comprising thousands of individuals. The supercolonies were thought to sustain

(05:17):
themselves on the swarms of flies attracted to the decayed
bodies of the villagers. One hundred six dead, twenty three injured.
January thirtieth, nineteen ninety nine, suicheg Anwi Province. Wang Qi,
an employee of the Ministry of Agriculture, collapsed at a
clinic in downtown Swicheng. After reporting to have suffered from
chronic headaches. Wang fractured her skull against a concrete wall,

(05:41):
resulting in numerous SEP six thirty two instances breaching. Her
cranial cavity and causing twenty eight people to be exposed
to their sensory triggers. The resultant manifestations were not detected
until much later, when sixteen of the affected individuals had
already managed to expose two hundred ninety one more more
individuals to SEP six thirty two. Twenty seven dead, two

(06:04):
hundred ninety three injured. July eleventh, two thousand one, signow
Hannan Province, Lie jiang Ting, an eighty six year old
woman living alone, was found dead by social workers in
her home with her eyes missing, although her body was
not in a state of advanced decomposition, and autopsy revealed
almost one hundred percent of her brain to be absent.

(06:26):
Foundation agents embedded in the pathology department of redacted hospital
gained access to the scene and discovered an SEP six
thirty two colony residing in the ceiling board above Lee's bed.
It was theorized that Lee had been rendered bedridden and
repeatedly exposed to SEP six thirty two, resulting in almost
all her reiin tissue being converted into SEP six thirty

(06:48):
two instances. The instances then apparently exited her skull through
her eye sockets, as Lee was too weak to fracture
her own skull. One dead, five injured. You can get
