SCP-3003-2

You want to talk about endings? The whole point is to escape the end. That's what we are, deep down, different ways of staving it off. Do you want to know what the real difference between us is? You try to protect yourself from the end, to make peace with it, to distract yourself from it — but it comes one way or another. Me, on the other hand — I make sure that there is nothing that comes after me, that there is nothing left to make me stop. I am the end.SCP-3003-2 speaking through a humanoid host.

SCP-3003-2 is an antagonist in the SCP Foundation series. It is a sentient virus that takes place on a Keter class anomalous planet that is documented by the SCP Foundation known as SCP-3003. SCP-3003-2 takes the form of a eukaryotic single-celled organism that spreads to SCP-3003-1, which are beetles that reside on the planet SCP-3003. The beetles are referred to as "Marce". The Marce will then spread the virus to SCP-3003-3, which are human-like beings on SCP-3003.

This SCP entry was part of the SCP-3000 Contest, which won 5th place.

Biography

Scp 3003
SCP-3003

As mentioned before, SCP-3003-2 is a eukaryotic single-celled organism originating from the planet SCP-3003. Exactly where SCP-3003-2 came from or how it was formed on SCP-3003 is unknown, but research shows some evidence of how it evolved. However, a single instance told a Foundation doctor that SCP-3003-2's history of taking humanoid hosts started five-hundred years ago, when it spread to a mercantile society on SCP-3003 and, upon taking over, wiped out or assimilated most of the 7000 other cultures on the planet. The rest were destroyed by an ecological collapse triggered by SCP-3003-2's destruction of keystone species hostile to its main carrier species.

SCP-3003-1/Marce

SCP-3003-2 will do anything it can to spread itself, and it does this mainly through SCP-3003-1, exoskeletal beetles known as "Marce", that are genetically similar to beetles found on Earth. Once SCP-3003-2 has infected an instance of SCP-3003-1, the beetle's behavior will change greatly, as it grow a new stinger, and will become focused on spreading SCP-3003-2 to others, namely to SCP-3003-3 instances, which are human-like beings on the planet, that are nearly visually indistinguishable from humans on Earth.

Marce beetles, once infected by SCP-3003-2, will wait until nightfall, and will inject a muscle weakening compound into the host, as well as SCP-3003-2 itself. In SCP-3003-3, -2 will colonize itself within the tissue of the brain and form neuron-like cells. Once an SCP-3003-3 instance is taken over, their entire identity will begin to revolve around cultivating the Marce and they will become increasingly hyper-rationalist, only viewing the world in terms of how best to spread the Marce and their ability to contribute to society. By the time of the article, SCP-3003-3's society has been entirely assimilated by SCP-3003-2, which continues to spread by having all children implanted with infected Marce beetles once they reach the age of 15. Any members of SCP-3003-3 who are too old or ill to contribute to society, permanently disabled or deviate from the social norms established by SCP-3003-2 are taken to have their body tissue harvested and used in transplants or medical experiments; the fact that this inevitably causes the victim to die in unbearable pain is common knowledge but is not seen as important.

SCP-3003-2 currently plans to spread to other worlds, starting with Earth, and has begun construction of an interstellar transport machine (SCP-3003-4) for this purpose. According to the SCP Foundation, military resistance to SCP-3003-2's incursion is impossible due to its superior technology and the only way to stop it is to convince it that Earth is inhospitable to the Marce. However, after this plan was approved SCP-3003-2 took control of an SCP-3003-3 instance and revealed to a Foundation doctor that it knew this was a lie and still planned to conquer Earth, also explaining its ultimate goal: to spread to or destroy every life form in the universe and become "the end of history."

It is currently estimated that SCP-3003-2 will be able to reach Earth via SCP-3003-4 within thirty years.

Possible Endings

SCP-001 (Ihp/Locke Proposal)

As a result of Site-100's manipulation, SCP-3003 was cross-tested with SCP-1233. This resulted in SCP-1233 using his powers to destroy instances of SCP-3003-1 and SCP-3003-2, liberating several SCP-3003-3 instances. He, alongside the liberated instances of SCP-3003-3 formed a rebellion against 3003-2, which is excepted to cause the total eradication of the bacteria sometime in 2029.

SCP-6500

When the event known as SCP-6500 began neutralizing all of the anomalies due to the Foundation containing most of them, SCP-3003-2 was one of the many anomalies being affected by the entropy, with the entirety of SCP-3003 collapsing.

Behavior and Procedure

One of the most notable features of SCP-3003-2 infection is its ability to change the behavior and thought-patterns of the host, being both the Marce beetles and the humanoids of SCP-3003. When either instance is infected, they will develop an obsession for prolonging the lives of the Marce (which, by extension, prolongs the lives of SCP-3003-2 as well), and will not be concerned with self-preservation unless that in itself plays a role in assisting the Marce.

Any line of thought against helping SCP-3003-1 are avoided. Emotions are also suppressed, and if emotions are displayed, they are exaggerated.

Once SCP-3003-2 are set up inside an instance of SCP-3003-3, they cannot reproduce. This means that further injections of SCP-3003-2 must be made for the virus' behavior to stay active in a humanoid host. Once all SCP-3003-2 cells die in a humanoid host, the host will recover in roughly two years after this.

Personality

Being a collection of microscopic organisms, they aren't able to communicate directly. They can, however, speak through a humanoid host that SCP-3003-2 has taken over. It is unclear what the true intentions of SCP-3003-2 are, whether it's to keep itself going by instinct or selfishness, or if it makes itself part of hosts because it thinks its helping them is unknown.

The technology on SCP-3003 is very advanced compared to ours, and the acquiring of such technology may very well be made possible due to the existence of SCP-3003-2.

Trivia

  • In a document of SCP-2305-A, documents which state methods of neutralizing various Euclid and Keter class SCPs, the outcome of such termination attempt, and the "moral of the story", described a termination attempt of SCP-1427 by coating it in SCP-148 and giving it to SCP-3003. This causes SCP-3003 to mass produce SCP-148 and use it against the Foundation, but leads to all humans, including 3003-3, to lose all sentence. This then allows the rise of SCP-1000 who get infected by 3003-1 which leads to them destroying all of humanity and spread throughout the universe.
