SCP-059

Description (summary)
"Dr. ███████ has recorded and analyzed the patterns of radiation emitted by the contained SCP-059-1 colony, and believes SCP-059-1 may be sapient and attempting to communicate via controlled emissions of radiation. Initial attempts to analyze this 'language' reveal [DATA EXPUNGED]."SCP-059 is a radioactive mineral of unknown origin, superficially resembling scheelite. SCP-059 specimens produce a previously unknown type of radiation, apparently unique to the object, tentatively designated 'delta radiation'. Delta radiation is accompanied by Cherenkov radiation, visible as a blue glow. When an area is exposed to delta radiation for more than 15 minutes, an unknown species of fungus (designated SCP-059-1) begins to grow on any exposed surface.

SCP-059-1 will infest both living beings and inanimate objects. Humans (and animals) infected with SCP-059-1 become immune to the effects of ionizing radiation, but progressively merge with SCP-059-1, and eventually have all tissues replaced by fungal growth. While generally non-violent, they will attempt to expose unaffected individuals to SCP-059. SCP-059-1 infections do not appear to be directly contagious, but only spread by contact with delta radiation.

In-Game
SCP-059 is kept in the Zone 3 area. It is one of the first SCPs you will see upon arriving there. Its outer containment area, the room you enter before entering SCP-059's actual containment, is decorated, with 2 shelfs from the sides, 2 generators running, lights on the walls and 2 separate pairs of pipes on the roof. SCP-059's actual containment, the inner containment chamber is filled with the fungus described in the summary. Touching SCP-059 does not appear to do anything at first, but after waiting for a few seconds players start to lose health quickly and die in less than 2 seconds.
