uhh, hang on.

…

alright, sylvie says when she woke up i was hugging the bottle and purring really loudly, in a way i would describe as ‘like a motorcycle engine’, while laying down with my head on something super soft, and that a bit after she woke up my pocket started singing, and then i got up and she heard me start talking to someone and start purring louder.

i can give you one of the bottles from my lab after work hours today if you want. probably just follow your instincts and you’ll have a new family member.

btw i almost panicked when sylvie asked me what the red glowy thing under the kettle was, and when i turned around she was touching the heating element with a pseudopod. i noticed she wasn’t in pain, just glowing bright green where the pseudopod touched the hot metal and she really likes the green glow, so i looked for my electric thermometer, touched it to the stove, and it read 715°C. that said, i’m bringing sylvie to my lab tomorrow to see how she likes the different colors she can glow in response to intense heat.

who. if you want to fight a planetoid that’s been gray goo-ed by a -3 instance, i don’t think any of those exist yet, and if one did, it would just eat you.

yep, pwease!

uhmm, about that…

i MAY or NOT MAY have diwcarded an indetewminated amouwd of the -3 in Amathea during the time i was exiled in Io (the radiawtion belt causes alot of stress, hence iwstances of the -3.) bewcause at the time it wasn’t very cwear what it did, and i discawted on twere becauwse in my head it was just red sweat. i didn’t checwked the situation yet, but i assume isn’t the best of the things.

Ey frale, what is the name of this language?

773

you did what.

well, i did just recently finish getting the miniaturized portals working as well as the big ones do, so thanks for the excuse to go to lo, do some math, and throw the tiny satellite i’ve been working on into orbit i guess. btw i actually did 2 different methods of getting the small portals to link up to the big portals, and i made 2 sets. one set is just a small window that doesn’t change anything’s volume or mass, and the other set scales things put in the pocket dimension through them to 75 times the size it was outside the pocket dimension, and things taken out of the pocket dimension through them to 1/75th the size it was in the pocket dimension. that set uses the plastic the magic funnel is made of to work like that.

how the satellite and miniaturized portals are related :3

i set up the ones that don’t mess with space weird so they’re clamped together in the pocket dimension, and you can use them as monocles to peer into places you’re not in like that(if you power them from inside the pocket dimension), then after realizing the other side of the portal just led to an endless caustic void, i put a glass lens on one side of both portals before configuring them to their own seperate frequency so it’d be double sided, made sure the glass lenses were facing into eachother through the portals, and then fed the ‘black box’(contains the memory bank, battery, and the motherboard) and the water input of the tiny satellite through the portals, before gluing the portal onto the probe’s casing and making a casing for its black box that’ll hold it still relative to the portal(as a bonus, it’s easy to pick up!) and let me cool the stuff in it using the same water that will go to propel the drone. i also switched the lenses to ones made of laminated aluminum oxynitride and glued those to the portals on the viewing side

if you want to test walking into a big portal and walking out one of the tiny ones that’s linked up to them(or test what happens on a D-class), feel free to do so, just make sure i’m in my lab when you do, since i don’t want any incidents of tiny people falliung off my counter to their demise. as for how tiny, a 5’10" person who walked through the portals in the order of big → small would come out at a grand total of 0.93 inches tall

What other SCPs are held in this facility? How many?

775

what do you exawctly plan to do with this satewllite after its been put into owbit?

sure, it looks fun. next week mawbe.

i can’t say the exact number due to the foundation rules, but the west wing is very big. around the size of manhattan.

by the way, Dawn, how is that fella that was just an brain and that had grown the rest of the body back going?

I think I’ve heard that there’s SCP-049 and SCP-999 here, and perhaps SCP-682…

pretty good actually! they got the hang of tuning parts of their body to liquid a few days after i made that log, and within an hour of that they figured out how to get the liquid to turn into flesh in places other than where it originally was! they got used to moving their new body within a couple days, and they learned to glow and concentrate their body heat, so my guess on how they got infected with 8610 is that some -3 fluid got in their blood supply.
though, because they’ve missed so many years of history, i am going to have to educate them on what happened since they went under… not looking forward to the 2016-2024 part of that. except for the tech stuff.

that aside, they haven’t complained once about their new body once, in fact, they say it has most of the things they didn’t like about the old one fixed! like the eyes not making bright areas dark enough, the voice, the lack of gills, the muscles and tendons not being long enough to match the joints in flexibility, and especially the bone shape and their inability to reversibly split, btw they found out how to remap their circulatory system so they can change the position of their limbs and gills and stuff, so i assume they have total awareness about their body, which i’m pretty sure none of the researchers that got infected during the initial outbreak have, so i’m gonna ask them if i can have some tissue samples tomorrow. i’m pretty sure they have a diffused nervous system(like what the -3 instances have) connected to their central nervous system, and if i’m correct about that, they definitely have some -3 cells dispersed throughout their body. whether from another instance or literally sweating out their stress, i will have to find out through genetic analysis. though, since -3 cells don’t have a nucleus, i can use something that latches onto specific membrane proteins and pops the membrane to get the DNA out of the -3 cells, then do the process to get all the DNA not in membranes to the water’s surface, collect that, then add soap and do the last part again to get the DNA from the non -3 cells.

This is probably genuinely terrifying to look at but incredible to imagine.

Yeaaah, we need to do more research on the -3 cells. I already understand pretty well the genetic (the memetic is still an enigma, my bets would be on some quantum phenomenom) functioning of the -2, but the -3 is so widly different that it really fells like other unrelated lifeform.

based on one of the tests i did on an uninfected researcher who wanted to know about 8610(i warned them that they will likely get infected by it by learning about it) where i gave them an article about 8160 that i wrote, and had them read it while i looked at some of my cells with the DNA having a green luminescent indicator so i could actually see where it was, the 8610-0 DNA, which i located by a tiny sliver of white glow rather than green glow, started having different parts of it glow white seemingly at random until the researcher finished reading it, at which point the entire thing was glowing white. after the researcher stopped reading the article, the glow slowly faded back to green. within an hour the researcher started speaking with an uwu accent.

the info we can take from that, is that whenever someone learns a specific fact about scp 8610, they get the information that makes that correct cloned from the person they learned it from. the mechanisms behind how this happens are still a mystery, but whatever they are, they do produce purple light, and you have to aquire each part separately by learning about it, so everyone who knows that 8610 can spread via knowledge likely has the part of 8610 that spreads it through knowledge, meaning they can spread that part by telling people it spreads through knowledge.

did you find the 8610-3 bottle i gave you?

Oh girl this open such a big gate for so many hypotesis that i dont even know how to formulate my flow of ideas and lines of rationing (i never was able to anyways, i just don’t know how to write most of them so they stay in my head slowly devouring my sanity) so please allow me to write the most chaotic thesis possible.

my first thought at finish reading this was "Could we create new symptoms of the SCP-8610 inserting disinformation into strategic parts of the information about it? Or perhaps exists yet unidentified symptoms that could be “unlocked” if we put them together with confirmed information? Another thought I had was if changing the name of 8610 to another name (perhaps the old name, SCP-XXXX, or something completely random, like SCP-9821) the patients would not be affected because, in theory, they would not be receiving information about the 8610, but I quickly ruled out that hypothesis (if I called a tiger “Ghia’n” and explained what it looks like, how it acts, its life cycle, natural habitat, etc., you would still have received information about a tiger and would be able to recognize one no matter the name.)

I decided to test my first hypothesis.

I took an uninfected D-class (don’t ask me where I found him) and asked him to read a document about “a certain scp”, which was obviously about SCP-8610 but I inserted some false information into it (e.g. arise cat whiskers on the face, fur appears on the entire surface of the skin where it normally appears on mammals, patients develop color blindness and a pink spot appears in the middle of the infected person’s back.) Meanwhile, I monitored my DNA using the same method you had used.

As he read the text, parts of my DNA turned white, nothing out of the ordinary, but when he got to the part about the whiskers, a section of junk DNA that I hadn’t previously identified also turned white.

a few hours after D-class read it, it could be seen that he started to grow whiskers.

and so did I, which made me EXTREMELY FURIOUS, IT’S BEEN YEARS SINCE I HAD NEEDED TO SHAVE, AND NOW I NEED TO DO IT AGAIN. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH LASER HAIR REMOVAL COSTS??
Anyways, it seems like there still some undentified symptoms of the SCP-8610, and i guess the initial ones appeared because it was the default catgirl characteristics.

And now, my currect theory of how the SCP-8610 memetic transmission works!

1-An observer acquires information about the quantum phenomenon (SCP-8610) which causes it to change state (like a light switch turning on)
2-This causes the nearest recipient of information that has been transmitted to slowly transform random subatomic particles that appear in vacuum fluctuations into a copy of itself (think that they are now interconnected, so the fact that one of them is not in order causes a imbalance, which results in the other trying to find balance)
3-The proteins resulting from this process are SCP-8610 in its rna virus form, and from there the genetic process of transmission begins.

yes, i found it below my desk, and i brought it home like i was holding an millenia old chinese porcelain. I don’t remember very well what happened when I arrived at the apartment, except that I started to feel extreme affection for the fluid that was inside the jar and I fell asleep hugging the jar.

Well, now I have Lylith, my cutest, most adorable, perfect little girl. and I love that I essentially became a mom, with all the protective instincts of a mother (+10000 gender euphoria) without having to wait nine months and essentially have a two kilogram watermelon come out of me! Anyway, it’s been the best thing in the world, and I think we should make Sylvie and Lylith meet, both because it’ll be cute and interesting to watch two instances of SCP-8610…uhhhhhhm, interacting.

we need a designation for this cuties yet, maybe SCP -8610-3.1?

i feel like SCP-8610-:3 should be their designation for now, and we make their names be used for the part of their designation used to tell others which one you’re talking about when doing tests(no tests they don’t like the idea of are allowed), they’re similar but not identical to 8610-3, and it is possible they’ll eventually become humanoid, in which case, we will designate that form SCP-8610-2-R, R standing for rebirth. i wonder what’ll happen when two of them who were made from the same -3 instance interact though.

that aside, i got a testing room set up for seeing what they do when they meet eachother.

btw, recently i’ve started sleeping for 4 hours twice a day instead of 10-15 hours once a day

I have a question: how does your hearing apparatus work like? Where is the inner ear in your skull? How does it change the skull’s appearance?

783

depending on who an 8610-2 instance learned about SCP 8610 from(though, it’s more about what the instance was taught about how 8610-2 ears work), they either have 1 set of ears that are basically identical to cat ears on the inside and outside, two fully functional sets of ears with separate internal hearing apparatuses, two fully functional sets of ears that use set of internal hearing apparatuses, meaning hearing sounds with the cat ears drowns out any sound they may be hearing with their human ears, or external ears that look like a cat’s and connect up to a human internal hearing apparatus, fully covering where the human ear was so they can funel sound into the unmodified inner ear, while still going up to the top of the head, and being bigger than the other cat ears an 8610-2 instance can have.

that said, i have the separate cat and human ears, and if you learn about this part this way, you get to pick which type of ears you get

if you’re going to shave your face, be extremely careful around the whiskers, cutting them in any way is extremely painful. instead of laser hair removal though, you could tell another D-class close to the same thing, except with the parts you don’t want removed, possibly with the addition that 8610-2 instances can control where and how fur/hair grows on their body, with any hairs that get disabled either falling out or turning into 8610-3 fluid.

btw, since i have portals that let you divide the size of something you bring in through a big portal, nerves under 1.3 mm wide could be used to make ‘wireless’ communication between brains! btw, portals created by the pocket dimension(which are identical to the part outside the pocket dimension) can be brought out as long as there’s a bigger portal to bring them out through. i don’t know if that’d break the portals or not(i feel like it’d just work like the portals with only one other portal linked to them, but without any way to link more, though there could be a way to link another one), so that may be why the portal needs so much energy to start the first time. back to the point i was going to make though, if two people’s instances of 8610-0 get unlinked once one person tells someone about 8610, the portals could be used to keep their 8610-0 instances, and thus their anomalous abilities, linked!

784

Wouldn’t the cat ear hearing apparatus create a weak spot in the skull since the inner ear has to go somewhere?

yep, that’s why i’m working on portals that just open into a pocket dimension and can be linked to other portals, but don’t need to be, and can’t break or turn off, so we can just store our brains in some jar in a pocket dimension and not have to worry about brain damage ever again! there’s probably an easier option i’m missing because of the ethics of potentially causing someone permanent paralysis just to see if we actually still need all of our spines, but i like challenges!

actually, nevermind there’s an easier option to see if nerves that get cut after getting infected with 8610-0 do the entanglement thing. cutting off an arm or a leg.

this is genius.

i have only one pair of ears (the cat ones) that lead to the same internal ear apparatus of the old human ones. it is honestly a big problematic, mainly due to ergonomic reasons (wearing a pf2 mask is pretty impossible and i need to mantain it on place with tape and god’s will) and sound sensibility.

too late. i cried on the floor of my bathroom for hours.

oooooh i’m going totally to test that. alterning bettween a furry and a catgirl seems like very fun.

Jesus belgiuming Christ, Dawn. (im in)

787

test complete, while pulling an arm completely out of its socket doesn’t hurt for me at all since getting infected with 8610 due to the increased flexibility, cutting one off most definitely does! that said, we can control our limbs after they’re cut off, and i’m definitely telling jade(the researcher that wanted to know about SCP 8610 ereyesterday) that we can consciously and painlessly detach our limbs, and control them with our minds through autokinesis once they’re off. i put the arm back on and put some 8610-3 fluid on the nerve beforehand, and i sealed the blood vessels around the point i cut it so don’t worry about me having to grow back any limbs or replenish any blood! the only thing to worry about is my dedication to science!

that said, what that means is i don’t need to make the defaultly not-so-portable holes to let people keep their brains in jars, but if i do it the way that doesn’t use portals at all, i will have to supply blood, neurotransmitters, and nutrients to the brains. i probably will anyways though.

just thinking about the amount of pain that causes makes my face feel like it’s being stabbed with orange hot sewing needles.

and we need to think about how the body equillibrium will react to the lack of a 3 pounds weight on the head.

its way worse. normally i would say that the fact you cut your arm off for science is pretty endearing and all but you are clinically insane, but nah, after that pain, i would say that i love your dedication to science.

nothing more, nothing less.

789

all good inventors have at least a few screws loose!

or we could make 3-5 pound models for people to put where their brains were as a little surprise for anyone who sees their skull cracked open and not worry about that, for example, 3 pounds of pink soba noodles in watermelon juice with rust dissolved in it, and something to make those never spoil! it has to be non-toxic though
