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"[1] 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" (and also "Elijah") or any variation of that name is mentioned.[2]
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 form and understand elementary-level sentences, and their use of "Collabology" increases to a point where nearly every word they use is suffixed with the word "-[friend]". The compulsion to "fork" a VM becomes psychotic, with SCP-3152-1 experiencing explosive psychological episodes when deprived of the ability to fork a VM. Being banned from SCP-3151 by its staff typically causes near-total psychological meltdowns within SCP-3152-1; they have been observed to violently destroy all objects within their vicinity, as well as sending deranged messages and violent threats to SCP-3151's administrators in a desperate attempt to use the website again.
Two months after infection, SCP-3152-1 will become almost completely mentally disabled, suffering from symptoms similar to severe psychosis and low-functioning autism spectrum disorder. SCP-3152-1 will utilize "Collabology" more than once per second, and will constantly and obsessively "fork VMs", neglecting their own personal needs and having complete mental breakdowns when deprived of this ability. SCP-3152-1, by this point, has lost all ability to speak their native language; they will usually communicate only through SCP-3151 in a form of near-unrecognizable pseudo-English known as Collablish, using phrases such as "GO VM7" or "GET OUT" (even if they had no knowledge of English prior) toward other users of SCP-3151.
Around four to six months after infection, SCP-3152-1 will suffer a total and 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 incubation phase via forced withdrawal of SCP-3151 access.
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.
- ↑ Refers to destroying a system. Originates from the term "fork bomb", although it is typically done through deleting critical system files or by running malicious software, most commonly ones that are considered overused due to years of constant use, which is considered against Rule #9 in the rules of SCP-3151.
- ↑ I swear to God, the next person who screams "CHOCOLATEMAN!" at one of these freaks is getting assigned to 682 duty. I've had to replace 17 god damn keyboards THIS WEEK. Did I mention it's only Tuesday? -Dr ████
