SCP-XXX - La Mancha Negra

Item #: SCP-XXX

Description:

SCP-XXX is a black substance that forms on the roads near Caracas, Venezuela. SCP-XXX has been proven to display intelligence, although no forms of communication have been made. SCP-XXX can identify targets, normally cars, and position itself to cause the car to crash. It will attempt to find a host to produce an instance of SCP-XXX-2, but most victims die in the resulting car crash.

When tested, SCP-XXX was found to be composed of numerous natural substances but also an unidentified synthetic substance. This substance has no known match with any man-made synthetics. SCP-XXX can 'travel' through forms of man-made and natural stone such as asphalt.

When touched, SCP-XXX will begin to engulf the subject, spreading like a viscous liquid across the skin. It is very slow and can take up to 3 hours to fully cover a subject, but it leaves holes for various orifices. These subjects then become instances of SCP-XXX-2. Instances of SCP-XXX-2 are shown to still have free will and independent control from SCP-XXX, however, SCP-XXX acts as a symbiotic entity. From the point SCP-XXX-2 is fully covered, SCP-XXX will prevent the human host from doing anything that may harm or remove SCP-XXX from their body.

SCP-XXX cannot be removed via any method. Any outside attempt to remove SCP-XXX results in SCP-XXX-2 becoming hostile. This often results in numerous other incidents of SCP-XXX-2, as SCP-XXX will affect any others it can subdue. Extra incidents of SCP-XXX-2 should be terminated immediately. Killing the host will make SCP-XXX retract away from the host back into its original form.

Containment Procedures:

All roads near the original instance of SCP-XXX have been quarantined under the guise of maintenance until all instances of SCP-XXX have been contained, and any extra instances must be contained in a titanium box, as SCP-XXXcannot be killed. Previous incidents of SCP-XXX-2 have been terminated, and the resulting SCP-XXX contained.
