Glitching involves; multiple voices from one subject, the literal crashing of the nervous system, personality swaps or multiple personalities after infection, and making everything the infected touches that are electrical get a computer virus. SCP-5996-A will become very hostile upon being infected and will try to kill anyone that is not infected. SCP-5996 seems to be the only one that can infect people.

D-38808 was in Site 34 for 3 weeks before turning anomalous. At first, D-38808 lost his hair and turned pale.

Research Personal have reported SCP-5996s containment door to start making noises. Scratches on the opposite side are the door that has also appeared. We sent D-9972 to stay the night in SCP-5996s containment to record anything he sees on paper. At 06:00 the door started making the noises again and more scratches appeared. D-99772 recorded SCP-5996 as asleep during this period. The investigation is ongoing.

Research Personal have reported beeping coming from SCP-5996s Containment. The patterns of the beeping were theorized to be Morse Code but quickly rejected. One staff member who heard the beeping said:

"it sounds like a rhythm from a 90's pop band."

The investigation is ongoing.

SCP-5996 breached containment for the first time. SCP-5996 had used the camera to appear in the main security office. Three (3) casualties, Two (2) injured. SCP-5996 seemed to have used the live video feed that the camera was making to travel through the wires and out of the screen. It took 2 Security Units to contain SCP-5996. Usage of SCP-5996s camera has now been limited to testing and 04 or higher must permit to do so.
