This amnestic alters the victims perception, making them believe that they are a Victorian child that must embrace the SCP.
Amnestic isn't quite the right word for this, possibly mnestic, but definitely a >hallucinatory drug. Is the drug/agent airborne as well?
Gotcha! I was unsure as to what the word would be, I'll look into changing it whenever I find time :)
If the SCP is left uncleaned for too long, a secondary stronger amnestic is created.
If the goo is what causes the effect, then how does someone hold the object? >What kind of gloves do they have to wear? Do they have to use a drone or tongs to >pick up the object? Does having someone attached to the object effect the >production of goo? Does it reverse it?
This is my bad, I forgot to explain how. The answer would be by using gloves which are then incinerated after use, to prevent contamination. As for the reversal of the goo while someone is attached, the answer is no. The goo continues to be produced no matter the circumstance.
[…]abnormal disappearances[…]
Is this related to the object? How does the goo/effect make all of those children disappear?
I'll add a part of this into the work! It'll be suspected that the effects of the gas in the area produced by the scp enticed children in, however there is a possibility that the children were just exploring the ruins and ended up in the enclosed space in which the SCP had been for an undeterminable amount of time, thus inhaling a large amount of the gas making them unwilling to return home or perhaps unable to remember how they got there and how to get out.
[…]the horrors of this SCP if left unchecked.
What are the horrors of the object if left unchecked? What does it do to the Foundation? What does it do to the investigators?
If left unchecked, a large amount of AHG-B could be produced, which if released into the air could cause major loss to human life, and if accidentally released into the facility could perhaps permanently render a large amount of workers feral, or even dead.
As for what requires the foundation to clean it regularly, I must've forgot to write that. What I meant to write and clearly forgot to, was that the goo is slightly corrosive, not enough to melt through steel in a matter of minutes, but enough to overtime destroy its containment box. And of course the longer its left unchecked, the more goo it produces, and the more goo produced, well the more corrosion to its containment.
[…]or a gas mask filter is faulty, then disaster could occur. The invisible nature of >the amnestic gas is like a silent killer,[…]
Oh so it does emit a gas, it is airborne. Ok so how does the Foundation know this? How did they contain an object that is also an airborne abnormality?
Through various observations, such as one of Delta-8 observing the large amount of fog into the air. If you think I should, I could perhaps add to my draft various tests that were conducted to see what properties the SCP has. As for containment, the gas does not linger around for long after its been produced. Its unknown what happens to the gas, its just observed that it appears to be recycled by the SCP to speed up growth of the goo. (I'll also add this into the draft). But just for safety, there is an airlock between the containment cell and the rest of the facility which filters the gas (AHG-A) back into the room. This partly another reason why cleaning is necessary, as AHG-B would be much harder to filter.
[…]which could slowly be affecting everyone it is around.
What is the radius on the airborne spread? Is the gas able to replicate itself outside of the object? What are the symptoms of someone suffering from the airborne effects?
The radius is dependent on a few variables, however in a windless environment the gas disperses about 10 meters away for the nearest goo. The gas is unable to replicate itself outside the object. I mention this in the draft but I may not have been clear,
As for the symptoms Upon inhaling AHG-A the affected will begin to feel slight headaches and memory loss.
After about three minutes the victim will begin to hallucinate, the most common hallucination being that the victim will begin to believe that they are an infantile child inside of their bedroom.
AHG-B has long term damage including loss of hearing, anterograde amnesia, and in some cases, permanent hallucinations.
