Powers and Techniques

Abstract Existence (Absolute Abstraction, Conceptual; SCP-1681 is a memetic agent, where memetic SCPs are contagious concepts), Sound Manipulation & Mind Manipulation (SCP-1681 was developed by GRU Divison in an effort to influence and control public opinion on the United States. SCP-1681 takes the form of a phrase ("After all, when actors lead nations, bears will roar.") appended to the end of an anecdote told by individuals in the alpha stage of infection. Host anecdotes eventually begin to lose coherency, incorporating references to the United States and corresponding symbolism, before terminating in SCP-1681. Alpha stage SCP-1681-1 specimens will attend any eligible event to spread SCP-1681, disregarding relative financial expense, travel distance, or prior commitments. Beta stage SCP-1681-1 specimens will withdraw from society, severing all ties to family, loved ones and associates, during this time they will lapse into prolonged catatonic states, interspersed with brief periods of lucidity. Attempts at conversations will derail from bouts of euphoric hysteria, the specimens appear to suffer from mixed aphagia, despite this, the onset of starvation does not occur), Duplication (Once fully progressing into beta stage, SCP-1681-1 will attempt to gain access to the roof of the nearest high-rise building and throw itself off, initiating the Berliner event, where an SCP-1681-1 specimen splits into multiple instances of a specific object or animal, dispersing at speeds up to 500 m/s)
