Item #: SCP - V

Name: Luminescent Symbiosis.

Object Class: Euclid.

Appearance: Takes the form of a constantly moving microorganism like flesh that is constantly moving within itself like an MCU Symbiote.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX samples are to be stored in airtight, climate-controlled containers within Bio-Site-XX. Access to SCP-XXXX requires Level 3 clearance, and any experimentation or interaction must be approved by the Site Director. Research personnel handling SCP-XXXX samples should wear appropriate biohazard protection to prevent unintended symbiosis.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a unique species of bioluminescent microorganisms, resembling luminescent bacteria. These microorganisms exhibit anomalous properties when introduced to a living host organism. SCP-XXXX is capable of forming a symbiotic relationship with a wide range of organisms, including plants, animals, and humans.

Upon symbiosis, SCP-XXXX enhances the host's physiological functions, resulting in increased resilience, improved sensory perception, and the development of a bioluminescent glow in the host organism. The luminescence varies in color and intensity based on the host species. SCP-XXXX-infected organisms display heightened resistance to environmental stressors, improved healing capabilities, and enhanced overall vitality.

However, prolonged symbiosis with SCP-XXXX leads to increased dependency on the microorganisms. Host organisms exhibit physiological and psychological anomalies, including but not limited to:

1. **Bioluminescent Addiction:** Host organisms become reliant on SCP-XXXX for sustenance, leading to an inability to survive without the microorganisms.

2. **Heightened Sensory Overload:** Enhanced sensory perception becomes overwhelming, causing sensory overload and potential hallucinations in the host.

3. **Altered Physiology:** Long-term symbiosis may result in physical changes to the host's anatomy, such as the development of bioluminescent organs or alterations in the structure of existing organs.

4. **Psychological Dependency:** Host organisms develop psychological dependence on SCP-XXXX, with a strong desire to maintain the symbiotic relationship at any cost.

The Foundation must contain SCP-XXXX to prevent uncontrolled spread and the potential alteration of human physiology caused by prolonged symbiosis. Research efforts focus on understanding the mechanisms behind SCP-XXXX's symbiotic properties, developing methods to reverse symbiosis effects, and implementing containment protocols to prevent accidental exposure and potential outbreaks.

SCP-XXXX poses a biohazard risk, and containment procedures prioritize the prevention of unauthorized access and accidental exposure. Ongoing research aims to explore the potential applications of SCP-XXXX in controlled environments while mitigating the risks associated with prolonged symbiosis.
