D-6780 and D-9343 have both been exposed to SCP-2401. This is the second trial study as to the effects of SCP-2401 on a human host. Thus far we have not been successful in sustaining a host for more than a period of thirty days. A viable host able to survive the colonization process will be the first step into discovering a way to reverse the process and revert the host back to normalcy.

It has been difficult to requisition female D-class because of their scarcity. It's the only option since SCP-2401 and male D-class hosts can not coexist without killing the host body. Due to issues in previous tests, the two female hosts will be kept on suicide watch while symptoms progress.

Both D-6780 and D-9343 are progressing quickly with SCP-2401 and are in relatively good health. Today however, D-6780 had to be sedated via aerosol before the host caused further self-injury. D-9343 has been minimally responsive during this period. I've asked repeatedly for the medical records of both D-class hosts prior to testing. The paperwork seems to be conveniently missing in administration.

4 hours ago, D-6780's attempt at drowning in the cell's commode proved successful by clogging it with daily food rations and filling it up with water. Cell-21 is currently under quarantine until the decontamination teams can assemble in the morning. I'm hoping for a more viable autopsy than the previous ones.

D-9343 seems to be much calmer during this process. So far, the host is the only one who has made it this far in SCP-2401's colonization. I've requested from maintenance and from the Site Director to modify Cell-22 as to help better accommodate SCP-2401 and the host. I'm also still waiting for released medical records.

D-9343 and SCP-2401 have successfully achieved full symbiosis. D-9343 has been designated as SCP-2401-Alpha and has been observed to be much more active. After reviewing video footage, I've noticed that SCP-2401-Alpha does not eat or drink it seems.

Administration has finally delivered records on D-9343, but they are from her previous institution of incarceration. Unfortunately, the information is severely lacking in detail, with the exception of her criminal record. I'll review this information and perhaps use it during my upcoming interviews with her.

I conducted my first interview with SCP-2401-Alpha. She seemed relatively eager to see another face after nearly a month of solitary confinement. I asked her about her symptoms and she explained while in the beginning she was experiencing a great deal of pain, most of that has been curtailed and she feels much better.

A quick physical examination conducted through the observation window concluded that she is estimated to have 50% of her body surface converted into honeycomb like structures, many of which contain SCP-2401 in various stages of maturity. I questioned about where SCP-2401 originates from, but SCP-2401-Alpha could not answer.

I went over SCP-2401-Alpha's criminal records with her. She had trouble recollecting much of her past for some reason. Most of which had to deal with abusive relatives at a young age before being placed in foster care till she was 15. I was unable to continue with the rest of her background as I noticed she was growing more and more agitated.

I used the newly installed smoker for the first time to help her calm down. She was effectively suppressed and I concluded for the day.

Before I was able to conduct the interview, SCP-2401-Alpha was adamant about apologizing for her behavior in the previous interview. She introduced herself by her first name, Mary, and asked me mine. I introduced myself as well. Her intentions seemed harmless. Afterwards she tried multiple times to derail the interview with small talk. I was able to keep her focused on explaining her symptoms.

Mary attempted to explain a dream she had involving me, but could not recall specific details. I asked her questions regarding her mental state and wrote some additional notes to discuss with the on-site psychologist.

Mary has stated in her interview today that she is experiencing a recurring dream, though upon waking up, she can't recall any of it other than I am in it as well. I asked her if she would like writing supplies in order to keep a dream journal. She agreed, however the request was denied by my superior.

Mary spends her time preoccupied with her own thoughts. At times she appears rather lucid and unresponsive. I've requested for additional items to help improve stimulus, however they are repeatedly denied.

Mary and I have been meeting on a daily basis now. Her demeanor has been deteriorating it seems. Off-shift guards have informed me that she has to be smoked nightly. When I confronted Mary with this information, she stated that it was because of her dreams. She still maintains that she can't recall them after awakening.

My recent discussions with the on-site psychologist over my notes are still inconclusive as to Mary's mental condition. I'll continue to visit Mary daily to gain more details on improving her mental state. Aside from that, the SCP-2401 colony appears to be thriving and in optimum health.
