VISTORBELITUNG.COM,In a disturbing revelation, confidential Foundation documents leaked to this outlet shine a light on one of the most deceptively dangerous anomalies under containment: SCP-734, an entity classified as a Keter-class threat, which presents itself as a common male human infant. Despite its innocent appearance, the object possesses a devastating biological capability that has led to strict, life-saving protocols and quarantine for numerous personnel.
Identified only as SCP-734, the anomaly was isolated and contained following unsettling events that occurred shortly after its apparent birth. The full background of its origin remains one of the Foundation's many unknowns. Investigations found no records of its mother's discharge from the hospital, leading researchers to a grim conclusion: it is hypothesized that the mother was affected by SCP-734 during the birthing process and died from its catastrophic biological effect. How she was able to carry the anomaly to full term remains a critical area of ongoing study.
The entity itself appears to be a male human infant, currently estimated to be between seven and eight months of age. Clinical observations confirm that SCP-734 exhibits normal development, health, and a genetic profile typical for a child of its apparent age and background. No rare cellular disorders, infections, or abnormal genetic mutations have ever been detected in any testing, making the origin of its anomalous ability all the more mysterious and chilling.
The Lethal 'Cuddle': SCP-734's Terrifying Ability
The anomaly’s extreme danger stems from its unique, non-contagious effect on human tissue.
SCP-734's Core Ability:
Degenerative Contact: Any living human tissue that makes physical contact with SCP-734, or any living cell derived from it (including mucus, saliva, or blood), will initiate a rapid and horrifying breakdown process.
The 'Flaking' Effect: This tissue breakdown, termed "flaking" in internal reports, typically begins approximately two hours post-exposure. The decay starts at the point of contact and spreads outward at a measurable rate of approximately 0.5 millimeters per minute.
Irreversible Damage: Personnel exposed face a dire prognosis. To date, no successful medical treatment or procedure has been found to halt the progression of the flaking effect, save for the immediate and complete amputation of the affected area. Even with amputation, the success rate is only around 72%, underscoring the lethal nature of the anomaly.
A now-infamous internal memo highlights the stark reality of the threat, detailing the case of an Agent who, believing the infant to be harmless, removed their face mask and made physical contact. The consequence was immediate and severe, with the "flaking" disorder initiating from multiple points on their face and neck after the infant sneezed.
Due to its biological threat and the ease with which its anomalous cells can be transferred, SCP-734 is assigned the high-level Keter Object Class. Containment procedures are exceptionally stringent to prevent any accidental exposure:
Atmosphere Isolation: All staff entering the containment area must be fully enclosed in contained atmosphere hazmat suits, with full face masks designated as a mandatory and non-negotiable component of the equipment.
Zero Physical Contact: Absolutely no physical contact is permitted with SCP-734.
Quarantine & Sterilization: Any individual who makes physical contact is immediately removed from the area and placed under quarantine for observation. Furthermore, any item exiting the testing or containment area must undergo rigorous sterilization procedures before being approved for release.
SCP-734 serves as a grim reminder within the Foundation of how the most unassuming anomalies can harbor the most lethal consequences. Behind the image of a vulnerable infant lies a Keter-class entity requiring utmost caution to Secure, Contain, and Protect the public and its own personnel from its devastating, biological capabilities.
