The horror of this SCP, the endless conveyor belt of gruesome individual deaths, is so totally different from most of the threats offered by the archive. It's a lot of different types of horror all at once; body horror, psychological horror, but most of all, bureaucratic horror. Imagine just living your life and then suddenly you're descended upon by a militarized task force that refuses to identify itself, you're immediately plucked from whatever drama and relationships you had, your life dead stopped to nothing, all your concerns now amounting to zero as you are shoved into a BIOHAZARD containment cell. No one will tell you what's happening, and then, the sores. Those first rashes. The slow total loss of sanity as scientists watch the person you were amount to nothing, thanks to what appears to be random chance. It's just so ugly. Powerful stuff.
Right? And it's so creative too, I would NEVER have looked at the Oakville incident and turned it into a story about bacteria that turn your leucocytes into an independent mini-brain that hijacks your body. Amazing stuff.
it comes from the era just after 9/11 when the government made the patriot act. that simple act may well have inspired huge numbers of early SCPs as well as the Foundation's general character. People were afraid that it would lead to innocent people spouting off their mouths going to jail, clear violation of their first amendment rights. I remember I was in highschool when 9/11 happened, my journalism teacher the following year explained to us just why the patriot act was so dangerous to our rights. It also violates 2 of our most sacred amendments, the first and fourth. Free speech and protection from unlawful search and seizure by the government. Amusingly, it's also something that in a broken masquerade scenario, would likely lead to massive numbers of lawsuits and FOIA requests, demanding to know what was done by the government and what was done by the foundation.
Kinda weird how this is not a Keter SCP, I guess the foundation is confident enough of their speed to get to the next instance before another major event happens. But nonetheless, this is an interesting SCP 👍
I was wondering the same. In addition to what you said, I guess the scary spontaneous infection at a distance (i.e. not through the bacteria) doesn't increase the number of infected - it's always just one new SCP-1068-1 instance, after the previous has died. It doesn't spread exponentially through that vector.
@@aaroniscool7521 Actually I guess putting it that way, makes a bit more sense, it cannot be properly contained from going to a new victim but the instances can be properly contained in order to prevent massive outbreaks from happening.

Fun fact: The blob incident still isn't exactly solved, but as a zoologist with a microbiology background, I CAN tell you some interesting and unreported stuff about this case. It's a long one, so strap in: The bacteria found within the blobs are very particular types often used in combatting agricultural pests, particularly of the plant variety: enterobacter cloacae, and pseudomonas fluorescens. No, it's not e. Coli like many sources claim. Enterobacter is a genus, not a species, people claiming it to be e. Coli probably just assume all enterobacter mean the same thing. All enterobacter species do occur in mammalian guts including humans however, hence the "enterobacter" part of the name - literally, intestinal bacteria, but they are not exclusively found there. They can also occur in freshwater environments and in some soils. The second bacteria species, pseudomonas fluorescens, tells you about it in its name as well; it does indeed fluoresce, so its inclusion may simply be to easily track the spots where the bacteria were spread. The "goo" could very much be the agar substrate used to culture the two bacterial strains. Without any other evidence, it's hard to say. "But that still doesn't explain why it was dumped on the town multiple times over a period of days, or why there was also human leucocytes found within the sample!" Yes. However, I will say that the leucocytes found could have been contaminate by the woman who collected it, which do occur in our epithelial cells. Other samples collected by actual professionals who are versed in proper specimen collection protocol did not contain any such material. Again, the majority of "news" sources covering the incident fail to mention that, because we live in an unfortunate age where sensationalism is a higher priority than factual reporting. My best guess is that the US Department of Agriculture may have been conducting experiments to test the effectiveness of some new dusting/dispersal methods to control agricultural diseases, but either made a big oopsie and dusted the wrong area, or perhaps more darkly, chose the town deliberately to see what effect the bacteria would have on an average human population. I think the latter is a bit tin foil hatty, but sadly, the former sounds like exactly the type of thing a government body would do. And of course, upon discovering their mistake, would never ever admit to what they were doing or risk embarrassing themselves. So, there you have it, that's one scientist's take, given the data available.
"I think the latter is a bit tin foil hatty" and yet, similar events have happened in the past. The US government has carried out multiple tests on US citizens without their knowledge or consent so it's not all that far-fetched.
I’ve always seen most Euclid/Safe SCPs way more scary and in depth than Keter. When you see Keter, you know it’s dangerous, but when you see the two lower classifications, you either underestimate it believing that it’s not as dangerous as a Keter, or you fear the unknown.
I feel like this SCP feels more Keter then Euclid, considering the amount of resources it takes to contain it, and how easily and quickly it seems to spread.
@@rh0dr1 Another reason why they don’t classify it as Keter, and as a Euclid instead is because they can’t test Keter classified SCPs as flexibly as a Euclid, with an example being that they can’t use it as a weapon if it’s Keter.
This is absolutely terrifying because of how it effectively cannot be stopped, or at least they have no means to stop it at that moment, because the way it spreads is... just..,. the bacteria teleports, apparently.

I'd like to see him do SCP-5000: Why? Which is about The Foundation declaring war on humanity and releasing every anomaly they have. It would be very interesting to hear that read by The Volgun.
Curious is SCP 500 would be capable of curing an individual who had contracted SCP 1086 In the foundations eyes they'd have to be a person with invaluable information to justify the use of SCP 500
They'd basically have to be part of the O5 council or very close to that given how SCP 500 is in limited supply. Although, this would be an interesting thing to test whether the pendant made from SCP 500 + 914 Clockworks would work if worn for a short period of time. Would the necklace could serve as an extremely short-term preventative measure during testing until they found something else that works better? These would all be very interesting!
I would imagine that feeezing the infected individuals would prevent transmission while still terminating the infected. Someone get the liquid nitro thrower!

It’s gotten to the point that I just hit like while waiting for your videos to start during the ads so I don’t forget. I know I won’t be disappointed and don’t want to forget!
Wow, thank you for doing a video on an SCP from right next to where I live and where I've been hundreds of times. I had to go back and do a double take when I heard Oakville!
Since termination of scp-1086-1 always leads to a new infection, doesn’t that mean that with every new infection there should be an ever growing population of infected individuals?
n- no? 1-1+1=1. the vector isnt exponetial. an infectee says the name of someone infecting them then they spit out the infectious blob and die. so if the blob is disposed of properly there is only one more infected.
@@dr.cheeze5382 definitely not exponential, but there is no way to decrease the sum population of infected, but there is a mechanism for increasing the sum population. So given time the population will increase, unless if there is perfect containment in every event. Due to the chaotic nature of the SCP, its likely for there to be incidents over time, and with each increase in the sum infected population it would be even harder to contain.
@@dr.cheeze5382 You seem confused. It's not exponential per say but it possibly could be. If one person is infected, the absolute minimum is that 1 other person is infected. If one person infects another before they're done for, there's now two infected cases but these cases will never go back to 0. The best that could be done is to maintain numbers, continue a single stream of infected individuals and don't let them infect anyone else before they're culled and deal with the new instance that spawns- a linear process on the condition it is handled well.
Why the hell is this euclid? Imagine if covid 19 had 100% contamination rate, 100% death rate withing a few hours, and create 1 new cluster randomly anywhere on the planet every time someone dies of it. This SCP is a ketter XK class extinction event scenario if i've ever seen one!
Euclid means containment is possible though not guaranteed. They know who will be infected and the infection could be contained and next infection determined easily. The only problem is getting to and isolating the new instance. Keter does not mean dangerous, it means borderline impossible to contain.
@@daphnejyothi4795 Detemined easily... Remember that the only information you have about the next victim is his/her name. Look up your name in the phone book. You'll see there's dozens of people who share the same name and surname as you in your country. Now imagine on a scale of the entire planet. What if the name of the persone is someone from an indigenous tribe somewhere in one of the many jungle on earth someone who have never been in any census. What if the name given is the birth name of someone who changed name. Remember the disease act in a matter of hours. How do you expect the foundation to do the whole detective work to find someone who can be literaly anywhere on the planet at any given time in mere hours when it generaly take month if not years for the police. Then you need to find the victim which might be away from home in vacation or jogging through the woods or maybe even at the park having a picknick and by the time the foundation make their investigation, find who's targeted, find where that persone live, find where that persone is presently by asking friends and what not, and then move the entire response team with the hazmate suite and shit... This is just not containable in any way.
@@mandrac2 Actually, I assumed the infected gives you the current location of the victim instead of where they live permanently. Also even if they are in some isolated area, it is not mentioned it the infection is immediately after the prediction is made so they may have some time before containment is even necessary. Also remember that the foundation routinely deals with eldrich entities, has the literal god (343) in containment and if push comes to shove can just use the universe ending dog SCP (don't remember the number) to gamble the chance to destroy the SCP and that's assuming the thirteen can't do it. I'm not saying it is universally easy, but relatively it is. Also, we know they already can destroy the bacteria if they want, they already did it with the village otherwise there would be multiple new instances as every person could infect a random person throughout the planet but the entry says only one SCP instance exists at once, so they already can destroy it, they are choosing to keep it around for testing.
it def should be keter since every infected entity will spontaneously infect one other and the more there are the harder it will be to contain, for example if there are 5 cases, they will create 5 more while also being infectious themselves(then the new 5 infected will create 5 more and so on forever) any and all spread of this bacteria is permanent and according to population growth statistics, if it gets over around 385k cases a day, xk class scenario is imminent. this is very plausible since there is clearly a limit to foundation resources on locating and containing subjects within 6 hours. if there are given 10k infected patients in the world then that means that the scp foundation has to contain 10 thousand people every so 29 hours (the length of the infection if i am correct) and that is virtually impossible in my eyes.
@@mandrac2 the foundation has dealt with entities that make this one look like a cakewalk. It's all relative, they're just all good at their jobs as long as there's no containment breaches. This one could go either way but so many entities are labelled keter and are said to be nigh impossible to contain but could easily be Euclid and contained with better writing. This one was well done and keeps a person on their toes and ultimately feel like while it can be contained, really shows the very real concerns, allows for a diverse ranges of tests that could determine these properties. I'm sure the author had their reasons other than that as well for classifying the object the way they did.
If given enough time, an infected 1086-1 will utter the coordinates of someone else infected, but the infection takes 6 hours to occur. Can't the foundation simply terminate the designated person who's not yet infected to prevent the spread? Also, the infection is "lost". I bet it is looking for someone
Can't the foundation simply unlock a spacial anomaly where everyone except for the infected are able to comprehend the new navigation system? Alternatively, what if the infected instance is searching for coordinates that don't exist? We know if the infected instance walks into SCP-3930, it will simply cease to exist but would it still create a new instance elsewhere? This would be interesting to see as it goes against everything we know about the place that doesn't exist. What happens if they were running this alongside a 3930 test where an infected instance utter the coordinates to the building that doesn't exist, would the D-class that doesn't exist anymore (that's communicating to a different person via radio) be affected by this infection? As long as the D-class is being perceived by someone who exists, they won't vanish into the nothingness. Culling an infected case would be easy enough to do if the foundation somehow able to lure the infected instance into 3939 and simply make them vanish by ensuring all researchers no longer perceive the instance anymore and the case will become one with the surrounding nothingness. Would a D-class for example able to get infected based on perception alone or would nothing happen because those coordinates don't exist? As long as someone is continuously perceiving the D-class, they'll be fine (they just don't exist anymore). Does this infection work based on perception and would it simply cease to exist altogether if we able to simply wipe it from existence using this trick?
What's so awful to me is that you could be relieved of this if left to die, you'd be free, but because keeping the infected alive is part of containment procedure, you're force to live through the entire thing
The reason why its Euclid and not Keter is the majority of those infected die but they only keep one individual with it alive because it will broadcast to the next victim after it runs its course as long as one person has it and they keep finding the next person and contain them then it's pretty controlled by then
I think keter is defined as scps that actively attempt to break containment or can not be contained. This scp gives the location of the next infection, it is actively working towards it’s own containment, not against it. But you could certainly make a case for Keter or Euclid.
I think that's probably more a severity or danger level thing. The containment itself isn't crazy hard, and infected individuals don't actively attempt to infect others or escape containment. You just have to be really careful with hazmat to avoid unnecessary infection. I think the biggest aspect that puts this on the edge of Euclid is the spontaneous infection after stage 3.
It’s Euclid primarily because 1086-1 literally tells you who the next person to get the disease is, AND where to find them. Keter is usually reserved for SCPs that either cannot be contained, or can easily break out of containment. This one is at least fairly well understood and their procedure seems to work well enough for now.
@@matthewcolosi7606 I feel at this point you could argue that peanut is safe; with how bad the classification system is you could give anything any classification you want if you hit it with enough "if you really think about it..."
I would consider the mobilization of a task force every two days to be a considerate drain on resources. The foundation has plenty of situations it has the take care of worldwide, and having this thing spring up when something else desperately needs attention could be catastrophic. I would label this keter in a heartbeat.
No, scps are classed on how hard they are to contain, while it is true that it escapes, it only infects 1 person at a time with a 24 hour warning before it infects, more than enough time to contain it again
I especially like how a bunch of bizarre, leukocytic bacteria can somehow predict the next person to be infected. How does it do that...? I wonder what its criteria are for picking its next target, and how does it teleport to that person?
@@WobblesandBean I think the bacteria bonds with a person then when the original victim dies it goes through all barriers blocking itself from the next victim and then it starts over again
I'd say this is worth contacting dado and requsting that he create a "bacteriophage that attacks and eliminates SCP-1086 with no side effects adverse to any members of the plant, animal, or fungi kingdoms"
This reminds me of a novel by Greg Bear titled "Blood Music" which is about a similar thing. Also, that really did happen in Oakland, Washington. Look it up. To this day nobody knows why it started raining goo, but it did.
i see Dr. Miller has stopped smoking cigarettes in favor of coffee. He's a much stronger staff member than I, I'd need to smoke way more than cigarettes to deal with working at The Foundation. We applaud you, Doctor.
I got scared when I heard it causes skin conditions during infection because I have one but felt better when hearing the details shortly after. No foundation visit for me
you know, the title might be alluding to a real life occurrence in which people who had a surgery severing the hemispheres of the brain end with a similar behavior. when prompted to do some tasks simultaneously, like answering a question and writing it on paper, the person being tested would say one thing and write something else on the paper. moreover, at times it was as if there was someone else performing the tasks along with them, in a different manner. so imagine all that time, one side of your brain has an entire persona that gets suppressed by the other side
Uh... It seems like whoever wrote this forgot to include the part where it makes any sense not to immediately terminate all instances. It doesn't make any sense. It can spread by the blob maturing and popping or the blob maturing and remotely infecting someone. Seems like there's a real simple solution.
I hate it when they redact things just cuz they think it’s cool. Why would only the single digits place be redacted 9[X]% you could literally just guess

Which is about The Foundation declaring war on humanity and releasing every anomaly they have. It would be very interesting to hear that read by The Volgun.
Every time i see a new scp video, i think "wow i should try and get my scp ideas confirmed" then i remember how awful that process is.
What's the process?
@@Vintage-28 the process is to be already a SCP writer or suck off the mods
@@screamingseal4805 the latter being very literal if you're a woman, they may have banned Max Landis but they're not much better themselves
Same.
The SCP wiki has fallen far from grace and now the small collection of reoccurring authors and mods are just a cabal of narcissists.
Curious is SCP 500 would be capable of curing an individual who had contracted SCP 1086
In the foundations eyes they'd have to be a person with invaluable information to justify the use of SCP 500
They'd basically have to be part of the O5 council or very close to that given how SCP 500 is in limited supply. Although, this would be an interesting thing to test whether the pendant made from SCP 500 + 914 Clockworks would work if worn for a short period of time. Would the necklace could serve as an extremely short-term preventative measure during testing until they found something else that works better? These would all be very interesting!
I love going from the complex explanation and understanding of this biological horror to The Volgun reading out "Oblong Douche Boy" at the end, lmao
As I listened to this, it sounded more and more familiar. Took me a moment to remember the blobs that supposedly fell from the sky
I would imagine that feeezing the infected individuals would prevent transmission while still terminating the infected.
Someone get the liquid nitro thrower!
It depends if stating the name of the new infected is the cause of the infection or is simply reporting who will be infected.

Yeah, I didn’t actually get that part when I made this comment.
It probably wouldn’t work at all.
I can’t afford to support you on Patreon just yet, but please know you are my favourite scp RUclipsr . I adore your content and when I cam eventually I will support you. Thank you for your amazing content volgun.
as an aspiring immunologist, this is extremely well written!!! and i enjoyed it so so much
You need to do more space/alien SCPs! Destroyer or Worlds in Jupiter, Xenoplague, Delerict Messeng and Stranded Traveler are one of my favorites because they subvert classic space fiction!
This is hands down my favourite RUclips channel. Keep 'em coming!
It’s gotten to the point that I just hit like while waiting for your videos to start during the ads so I don’t forget. I know I won’t be disappointed and don’t want to forget!
Wow, thank you for doing a video on an SCP from right next to where I live and where I've been hundreds of times. I had to go back and do a double take when I heard Oakville!
The day SCP makes it to the big screen, is the day the entire horror genre industry will be shaken up
@CipherOmega In a good hand like A24, it could be good
I don't think it will ever go to the big screen, because of IP.
The SCP has made it to the big screen it just hasn't been called SCP
@@gokugoma3258 I mean The Cabin In The Woods could be one of many scp sites that the foundation owned
It should never go mainstream
Since termination of scp-1086-1 always leads to a new infection, doesn’t that mean that with every new infection there should be an ever growing population of infected individuals?
n- no? 1-1+1=1. the vector isnt exponetial. an infectee says the name of someone infecting them then they spit out the infectious blob and die. so if the blob is disposed of properly there is only one more infected.
@@dr.cheeze5382 definitely not exponential, but there is no way to decrease the sum population of infected, but there is a mechanism for increasing the sum population. So given time the population will increase, unless if there is perfect containment in every event. Due to the chaotic nature of the SCP, its likely for there to be incidents over time, and with each increase in the sum infected population it would be even harder to contain.
@@dr.cheeze5382 You seem confused.
It's not exponential per say but it possibly could be. If one person is infected, the absolute minimum is that 1 other person is infected. If one person infects another before they're done for, there's now two infected cases but these cases will never go back to 0. The best that could be done is to maintain numbers, continue a single stream of infected individuals and don't let them infect anyone else before they're culled and deal with the new instance that spawns- a linear process on the condition it is handled well.
The “galaxy brain” meme but it’s an SCP.
"What is a drop of rain, when compared to the storm? What is a thought, when compared to the mind?"
Do we have to cure it with void mechanisms, disentanglement, or the sludge?
oh my god yes
Scp 500 of course.
Remember, disentanglement is also known as "brain combing"!
2 videos in one week eh? Hot damn, Volgun's on a roll.
PLEASE do SCP-5000 next. I would love to see you work on that considering how much time and effort you put into characters and voices too.
Love this man's voice, as well as his voices. Great work!
Why the hell is this euclid? Imagine if covid 19 had 100% contamination rate, 100% death rate withing a few hours, and create 1 new cluster randomly anywhere on the planet every time someone dies of it. This SCP is a ketter XK class extinction event scenario if i've ever seen one!
Euclid means containment is possible though not guaranteed.
They know who will be infected and the infection could be contained and next infection determined easily. The only problem is getting to and isolating the new instance.
Keter does not mean dangerous, it means borderline impossible to contain.
@@daphnejyothi4795 Detemined easily... Remember that the only information you have about the next victim is his/her name. Look up your name in the phone book. You'll see there's dozens of people who share the same name and surname as you in your country. Now imagine on a scale of the entire planet. What if the name of the persone is someone from an indigenous tribe somewhere in one of the many jungle on earth someone who have never been in any census. What if the name given is the birth name of someone who changed name. Remember the disease act in a matter of hours. How do you expect the foundation to do the whole detective work to find someone who can be literaly anywhere on the planet at any given time in mere hours when it generaly take month if not years for the police. Then you need to find the victim which might be away from home in vacation or jogging through the woods or maybe even at the park having a picknick and by the time the foundation make their investigation, find who's targeted, find where that persone live, find where that persone is presently by asking friends and what not, and then move the entire response team with the hazmate suite and shit... This is just not containable in any way.
@@mandrac2 Actually, I assumed the infected gives you the current location of the victim instead of where they live permanently.
Also even if they are in some isolated area, it is not mentioned it the infection is immediately after the prediction is made so they may have some time before containment is even necessary.
Also remember that the foundation routinely deals with eldrich entities, has the literal god (343) in containment and if push comes to shove can just use the universe ending dog SCP (don't remember the number) to gamble the chance to destroy the SCP and that's assuming the thirteen can't do it.
I'm not saying it is universally easy, but relatively it is. Also, we know they already can destroy the bacteria if they want, they already did it with the village otherwise there would be multiple new instances as every person could infect a random person throughout the planet but the entry says only one SCP instance exists at once, so they already can destroy it, they are choosing to keep it around for testing.
it def should be keter since every infected entity will spontaneously infect one other and the more there are the harder it will be to contain, for example if there are 5 cases, they will create 5 more while also being infectious themselves(then the new 5 infected will create 5 more and so on forever) any and all spread of this bacteria is permanent and according to population growth statistics, if it gets over around 385k cases a day, xk class scenario is imminent. this is very plausible since there is clearly a limit to foundation resources on locating and containing subjects within 6 hours. if there are given 10k infected patients in the world then that means that the scp foundation has to contain 10 thousand people every so 29 hours (the length of the infection if i am correct) and that is virtually impossible in my eyes.
@@mandrac2 the foundation has dealt with entities that make this one look like a cakewalk. It's all relative, they're just all good at their jobs as long as there's no containment breaches. This one could go either way but so many entities are labelled keter and are said to be nigh impossible to contain but could easily be Euclid and contained with better writing. This one was well done and keeps a person on their toes and ultimately feel like while it can be contained, really shows the very real concerns, allows for a diverse ranges of tests that could determine these properties. I'm sure the author had their reasons other than that as well for classifying the object the way they did.
Please keep covering series 2, there’s so many amazing forgotten ones
This is a neat take on the legend/ stories about the mysterious globs
If given enough time, an infected 1086-1 will utter the coordinates of someone else infected, but the infection takes 6 hours to occur. Can't the foundation simply terminate the designated person who's not yet infected to prevent the spread?
Also, the infection is "lost". I bet it is looking for someone
Can't the foundation simply unlock a spacial anomaly where everyone except for the infected are able to comprehend the new navigation system?
Alternatively, what if the infected instance is searching for coordinates that don't exist? We know if the infected instance walks into SCP-3930, it will simply cease to exist but would it still create a new instance elsewhere? This would be interesting to see as it goes against everything we know about the place that doesn't exist. What happens if they were running this alongside a 3930 test where an infected instance utter the coordinates to the building that doesn't exist, would the D-class that doesn't exist anymore (that's communicating to a different person via radio) be affected by this infection?
As long as the D-class is being perceived by someone who exists, they won't vanish into the nothingness. Culling an infected case would be easy enough to do if the foundation somehow able to lure the infected instance into 3939 and simply make them vanish by ensuring all researchers no longer perceive the instance anymore and the case will become one with the surrounding nothingness.
Would a D-class for example able to get infected based on perception alone or would nothing happen because those coordinates don't exist? As long as someone is continuously perceiving the D-class, they'll be fine (they just don't exist anymore). Does this infection work based on perception and would it simply cease to exist altogether if we able to simply wipe it from existence using this trick?
What's so awful to me is that you could be relieved of this if left to die, you'd be free, but because keeping the infected alive is part of containment procedure, you're force to live through the entire thing
One of Grandfather Nurgles Fave SCP"s.
love whenever this stuff gets posted
No red bar on bottom thumbnail. I thank you for listening to feedback, TheVolgun.
Man, I don't even have First Brain Syndrome.
Same, can I borrow yours?
I was expecting this to be an increase in intelligence, but no this is more horrifying, seems more worthy of a keter class rating
wouldnt this be considered a "keter" scp? since it can spread exponentially and is highly contageous?
The reason why its Euclid and not Keter is the majority of those infected die but they only keep one individual with it alive because it will broadcast to the next victim after it runs its course as long as one person has it and they keep finding the next person and contain them then it's pretty controlled by then
the ratings is related to difficulty of containment
I think keter is defined as scps that actively attempt to break containment or can not be contained. This scp gives the location of the next infection, it is actively working towards it’s own containment, not against it. But you could certainly make a case for Keter or Euclid.
I think that's probably more a severity or danger level thing. The containment itself isn't crazy hard, and infected individuals don't actively attempt to infect others or escape containment. You just have to be really careful with hazmat to avoid unnecessary infection. I think the biggest aspect that puts this on the edge of Euclid is the spontaneous infection after stage 3.
It not classified as keter basically because the infected doesn't pose a danger of escaping
I really like the echo effect that has been applied to the last few videos
Honestly it seems like this should be keter those containment procedures are pretty advanced
It’s Euclid primarily because 1086-1 literally tells you who the next person to get the disease is, AND where to find them. Keter is usually reserved for SCPs that either cannot be contained, or can easily break out of containment. This one is at least fairly well understood and their procedure seems to work well enough for now.
@@matthewcolosi7606 Even with best efforts it effectively breaks containment *at least* every 48 hours....
That’s what’s keeping it Euclid instead of Safe. The fact that these events are so routine and well documented are why it’s not Keter
@@matthewcolosi7606 I feel at this point you could argue that peanut is safe; with how bad the classification system is you could give anything any classification you want if you hit it with enough "if you really think about it..."
I would consider the mobilization of a task force every two days to be a considerate drain on resources. The foundation has plenty of situations it has the take care of worldwide, and having this thing spring up when something else desperately needs attention could be catastrophic.
I would label this keter in a heartbeat.
This scp seems to be better suited for keter classification
No, scps are classed on how hard they are to contain, while it is true that it escapes, it only infects 1 person at a time with a 24 hour warning before it infects, more than enough time to contain it again
if the zombie virus is keter i dun see why this can't be
Babe! Babe wake up! New volgun just dropped!
Oakville, Wa is pretty close to where i live and that would explain why everyone there is so weird about visitors. 😂
Right before I go to sleep. Incredible.
In some ways, it's a very simple SCP. Yet despite that, it's gruesomely effective. There's a lesson in that, I think.
I especially like how a bunch of bizarre, leukocytic bacteria can somehow predict the next person to be infected. How does it do that...? I wonder what its criteria are for picking its next target, and how does it teleport to that person?
@@WobblesandBean I think the bacteria bonds with a person then when the original victim dies it goes through all barriers blocking itself from the next victim and then it starts over again
I love these videos I watch them every night to fall asleep
I’m sitting here wondering if Bacteriophages could be used against the bacteria responsible for SCP-1086.
Need to have it where one time the human brain wins out and you make the rest of the story from there .
Cyberpunk as an scp, tries to take control of your brain and makes you fight over it while slowly killing you
That's...not what cyberpunk is. Biopunk, maybe.
@@hotelmario510 i was talking about cyberpunk 2077 but okay
Loving the frequency of uploads lately. Any plans on doing When Day Breaks?
This is the first time I heard a mention about a budget
You knows it's serious when even the bottomless pit of a budget that the Foundation is at risk
Thank God, I've been dying for some fresh Volgun content
I'd say this is worth contacting dado and requsting that he create a "bacteriophage that attacks and eliminates SCP-1086 with no side effects adverse to any members of the plant, animal, or fungi kingdoms"
Sounds like what people used to think Stegosauri had.
make scp 049 read everything doctor Jack Bright isn't allowed to do, it'd be fun
Another one so soon? You spoil us. Thank you and stay safe
25 views damn this is the earliest I've ever been. Love you stuff man!
Always a pleasure to see an upload from you fam
I just clicked on this but from the art, it already looks exciting. Can’t wait!
Oh boy are you in for a treat then, he makes some incredible 3D models for a lot of these SCPs. The art and the delivery are both top notch imo.
This reminds me of a novel by Greg Bear titled "Blood Music" which is about a similar thing.
Also, that really did happen in Oakland, Washington. Look it up. To this day nobody knows why it started raining goo, but it did.
Thanks, never fails to make the day better
Holy shit I never thought I'd hear Oakville get name dropped in a SCP
Love making food and just listening to these
i see Dr. Miller has stopped smoking cigarettes in favor of coffee. He's a much stronger staff member than I, I'd need to smoke way more than cigarettes to deal with working at The Foundation. We applaud you, Doctor.
of course i get a notification for this video right as i'm having a terrible headache
This was mostly just me not understanding words
Dr. Head. Nice one!
*FINALLY* got time to listen/watch the video. 😤
It’s scary to know you can’t fight what can’t be seen until it’s too late.
love the new release schedule
The Volgun is among the highest quality
Amazing work as always!
bro, this is the best scp, for me.
Headphones on. Thunder, lightning and rain outside. Late at night. A good time. Thanks Volgun. Oh and SCP writers.
Course of being.
So lost.
I got scared when I heard it causes skin conditions during infection because I have one but felt better when hearing the details shortly after. No foundation visit for me
Only just realised this was uploaded 30 minutes ago. RUclips algorithm pullin through for me tonight
another great video my bro! keep up the good work!
you know, the title might be alluding to a real life occurrence in which people who had a surgery severing the hemispheres of the brain end with a similar behavior. when prompted to do some tasks simultaneously, like answering a question and writing it on paper, the person being tested would say one thing and write something else on the paper. moreover, at times it was as if there was someone else performing the tasks along with them, in a different manner. so imagine all that time, one side of your brain has an entire persona that gets suppressed by the other side
So basically the NE-A type parasite from resident evil in the form of a bacteria sprinkled with random chance.
They made Plague Inc. speedruns into an SCP.
Big Blood Music vibes in this story, the droning music in the brain sounds kind of... pleasant?
The thumbnail made me think this was gonna be bad syndrome
HOLD UP. REHETALIUS?! He's well known in the Warframe community as a RUclipsr lol.
Oh and I forgot to say in one of your videos congratulations on your promotion from researcher to doctor
it’s probably either extraterrestrial or an anomalous bioweapon
Nice video. Or well, I haven't seen it yet, but your videos are the best, so I already know that it is. :)
Hell yeah, nice job again!
Uh... It seems like whoever wrote this forgot to include the part where it makes any sense not to immediately terminate all instances. It doesn't make any sense. It can spread by the blob maturing and popping or the blob maturing and remotely infecting someone. Seems like there's a real simple solution.
I miss this SCP format so much.
Love your work
I hate it when they redact things just cuz they think it’s cool. Why would only the single digits place be redacted 9[X]% you could literally just guess
