It has therefore been given a conjectural name which should not be mistaken as canon. This creature does not have an official name. SCP-008 and its side-effects can be cured completely by consuming a SCP-500 pill or using SCP-427, with the latter happening over a period of time which increases the more the player has been affected. The longer the player is infected with SCP-008, the more predominant the red in the player's vision will become and the louder the auditory hallucinations become.Įventually, the player will black out, becoming an infected. If the player is not wearing the Hazmat Suit, which can be acquired in the small chamber before 008's chamber, and has yet to close the canister, they will be wounded by a flying shard of glass, contracting the SCP-008 prion. The canister may be closed, which will stop the gas from flowing however, SCP-173 will eventually break through the glass in order to kill the player. SCP-173 will spawn in the control room adjacent to the chamber of the canister. Upon entering the chamber, the player will find the canister containing the SCP-008 samples open and releasing gas. SCP-008's containment chamber can be found in the Heavy Containment Zone. SCP-500 has been recorded to completely cure the effects of SCP-008, even in the advanced stages of the disease.
