Item #: 3152

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Any personnel suspected to have come into contact with SCP-3151 are to be immediately detained and screened for SCP-3152. If an infection is determined, the person is to be immediately placed into solitary confinement to prevent spread of the pathogen. They are to be placed under maximum security and given periodic psychological screenings.

Description: SCP-3152, informally referred to as "CollabVM Syndrome", is a memetic neurodegenerative disease spread through computer systems. The disease has only been observed to spread via contact with SCP-3151 ("CollabVM"), hence its name. This disease is extremely contagious; it has been observed to spread through only two minutes of contact with the aforementioned computer systems.

During the first few days of infection, the "host" (hereby designated SCP-3152-1) will begin to observe mild usage of "Collabology", which consists primarily of suffixing common English words with homophobic slurs (i.e. "reboot[friend]", "close[friend]", and on rare occasions, "[friend][friend]"). No other symptoms are present by this point.

Approximately one to three weeks after the initial infection, SCP-3152-1 will become more obsessed with "forking" virtual machines, specifically one from SCP-3151, and begin to show symptoms similar to those of mild bipolar disorder. Their usage of "Collabology" dramatically increases. SCP-3152-1 will also develop a hatred for SCP-3151's "administrators", becoming particularly belligerent if "CHOCOLATEMAN" or "elijah" and any variation of that name is mentioned.

One month after infection, the disease will begin to impair SCP-3152-1's normal bodily and cognitive functions. Their grasp on their native language will degenerate to a point where they can only understand and speak elementary-level sentences, and their use of "Collabology" dramatically increases to a point where nearly every word they use is suffixed with "-[friend]". Their compulsion to "fork" VMs becomes psychotic and obsessive. SCP-3152-1 will begin to neglect their own personal needs in pursuit of this goal, and will suffer from explosive psychological meltdowns if deprived of this ability. They have been observed to violently destroy all objects in their vicinity, as well as sending deranged messages and death threats to SCP-3151's administrators in a desperate attempt to use the website again (typically resulting in the administrators openly mocking them, which further fuels their rage).

Two months after infection, SCP-3152-1 will become almost completely mentally disabled, showing symptoms similar to those of severe psychosis and low-functioning autism spectrum disorder. SCP-3152-1 will utilize "Collabology" more than once per second, and will essentially dedicate every waking moment of their lives to "forking" SCP-3151's virtual machines, only stopping once they collapse from exhaustion or starvation. By this point, SCP-3152-1 has lost all ability to speak their native language, and is only capable of responding with growling or grumbling noises. They are still able to communicate through SCP-3151 with a form of nearly unrecognizable pseudo-English (informally referred to as "Collablish"), using phrases such as "GO VM7" or "GET OUT" towards other users of SCP-3151. Notably, this effect seems to occur even if SCP-3152-1 had no knowledge of English prior to infection.

Around three to five months after infection, SCP-3152-1 suffers a complete, irreversible brain death.

Incident Log 3152-5:

On 21 January 2023, Junior Researcher ██████ Turner accessed SCP-3151 without authorization. They contracted SCP-3152 and began to periodically access 3151 when not under watch by a supervisor. On 23 February, Turner was noticed using "Collabology" in conversations with his supervisors and so was detained and later diagnosed with SCP-3152. After about one month of detainment, he was found to be suffering from severe psychosis and delusional disorder. Turner was designated SCP-3152-1.

Addendum:

SCP-3152 is incredibly contagious. Prognosis is extremely grim, with only about 3% of the infected being successfully "cured", usually during the early incubation phase via forced withdrawal of SCP-3151 access. Amnestics have proven effective in halting the development of the disease, although any damage inflicted from SCP-3151 appears to be permanent.

The biology of SCP-3152 is very unclear, with no pathogenic trace being observed in any of its hosts. The only physical indication of an SCP-3152 infection found thus far is the gradual weakening and shutting down of sections of the brain responsible for emotional regulation and language processing, leading to the working theory that SCP-3152 is a disorder of the psychological nature.
