Due to SCP-6298-β's membership of a network of interconnected polyamorous relationships in the Seattle area, roughly 18,000 discrete instances of SCP-6298-β now inhabit the city and surrounding regions. Attempts at Black Swan Scenario modelling had proceeded on the prior observation of bilateral secondary infection. As a result, no contingency planning had accounted for the prospect of multilateral infection, let alone on the scale of Event-6298-IK.</p> <p><span style="color:red;">MTF units were deployed as soon as the Foundation were made aware of the outbreak and attempts to contain SCP-6298-β instances were underway within 24 hours. However, the scale and diffusion of the epidemic hampered containment efforts. A mass scale information control campaign in conjunction with local news networks and government proved ineffective at limiting the spread of SCP-6298 awareness. Mass termination of newly-infected SCP-6298-1 instances within the Greater Seattle Area proved infeasible, as the scale of operations would invariably constitute a full collapse of the Veil as it currently exists.</p> <p><span style="color:red;">As a result of Foundation inability to prevent or limit SCP-6298 transmission, current R0 observations indicate 19 days until all extant humans represent SCP-6298-1 instances. Following the submission of these findings, the containment class has been upgraded to Apollyon. Faced with the choice between a BK-Class "Broken Veil" Scenario, and an IK-Class "End of Individuality" Scenario, a full quorum of the O5 Council has voted to abandon SCP-6298 containment measures.</p> </div> [[/html]] [[footnoteblock]] [[div class="footer-wikiwalk-nav"]] [[=]] << [[[SCP-6297]]] | SCP-6298 | [[[SCP-6299]]] >> [[/=]] [[/div]] [[include :scp-wiki:component:license-box]] [[include :scp-wiki:component:license-box-end]]
