SCP-049 Vaccine Experiment

[Tai Lopez]

Lore Name: Lopez
Rank: Researcher
SCP: 049

Question / Idea: Is it possible to create an effective vaccine against SCP-049 using a blood sample from an infected Class D (SCP-049-2)?
Background Research: SCP-049 is a Euclid class SCP. He is a humanoid entity who resembles the appearance of a medieval plague doctor. He wears black robes and a ceramic mask. He is usually cooperative with Foundation personnel and can be subdued by armed guards if necessary. SCP-049 is capable of killing people by ceasing their biological functions through direct skin contact. He sees other individuals as being infected with the "pestilence" and wishes to "cure" them. Those that are "cured" by SCP-049 are classified as SCP-049-2, which are hostile reanimated corpses that obey all orders from SCP-049. SCP-049 can be re-contained by eliminating all instances of SCP-049-2 and ordering him to return to his chamber with two armed guards.
Hypothesis: I predict that a vaccine composed of a direct blood sample from SCP-049-2 would be effective against SCP-049's "cure".

Observations (What Happened During Test): To start, I took a single Class D and placed him inside of SCP-049's chamber. After he was "cured" and became an instance of SCP-049-2, I transported him to the medical bay for examination. From there, Dr. Thaddeus Xyank drew a blood sample from SCP-049-2 and created a vaccine from it. He handed it to me, and SCP-049-2 was incinerated. After that, I took three Class D's and transported them to SCP-049's chamber. I used three Class D's because I planned on running the trial three times; there were plenty of MTF standing by in the event of a breach. Inside SCP-049's chamber, I injected them all with the vaccine, and observed how they will react to SCP-049's "cure". The vaccine did not work. After one of them was turned into SCP-049-2, I aborted the experiment and transported them back to the cell block after they were given amnestics.

Evidence/Visual Stimuli: 

                                            

                                            

                                            

                                            

                                            

                                            
 

Analysis / Conclusion (What Could Of Caused The Results): The vaccine was ineffective against SCP-049's "cure". A possible explanation for this is that since it's unknown why direct skin contact with SCP-049 is so deadly, a vaccine using the blood of SCP-049-2 might've been pointless. SCP-049's deadly skin could be the result of anomalous means rather than his blood. And, since SCP-049 does not directly transfer his own blood to SCP-049-2, a vaccine using SCP-049-2's blood would've had no effect. Overall, I believe a vaccination against SCP-049's cure is possible but not through samples of SCP-049-2.
Was Your Hypothesis Correct?: No, my hypothesis was incorrect. The vaccine did not prevent the Class D's from turning into instances of SCP-049-2.

Grade: A

Lore: 18/20 

Perfect description in the Background information along with the rest of the lore spots. But I do see one thing and only one thing that you forgot to add, SCP-049 does and operation on the "Infected" person/creature. The operation is mostly a surgery with SCP-049 injecting the deceased person with a type of chemical. But since that is the only thing missing I won't take off many points.

Creativity: 17/20

You could have continued the experiment by making not one, but three vaccines/cures to the Doctors 'Cure". Doing so would have given you more to write and you might have had a better experiment. But non the less this experiment ,although is an uncommon testing idea. You were able to come up with a full fledge plan and action for this test. For that I say, bravo.

Presentation: 20/20

Better than outstanding on this part. You were able to get Visual Stimuli which helped show mw how your experiment went. Little confused at why SCP-912 is there as he cannot escort since he is an SCP. You color coded your each of your sections which helped me see which part I was reading/grading, this is over exemplary.

Writing: 37/40

No spelling errors that I can see, you could have added a little bit more detail to increase your Observation, and that is pretty much it.

Test Tier: Quality

(:Note: This experiment is a reusable one so don't be afraid to try again on the vaccine/Cure. On the other hand, this test has given me an Idea for a test, is their a way to make a Vaccine/Cure/Suit that can allow someone to withstand touching SCP-049 without losing Bodley functions? Any way, good job and remember S.ecure C.ontain P.rotect.)

CONFIRMED

          Researcher Lopez,

                     Usually, I refrain from viewing any and all testing logs from researchers, however this one did indeed catch my eye. This test shows exemplary effort and creativity, and shows extreme promise for future of your career in research. The use of SCP 049-2's blood in a possible vaccination against SCP 049's immediate termination ability upon contact is something I haven't seen before. That is quite rare for something actually new and creative to be seen in the foundation. So, I will be keeping a extremely close eye upon you and your work. Keep it up.

Yours,   

Director of Research Security and Utility Strode
