SCP#: AXP

Code Name: Glitch Zombies/ The Data Parasites

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: A single sample of SCP-AXP has been contained at the biohazard labs of Site-AN. The sample is locked in a biohazard canister with a password that changes every 1 minutes. The biohazard canister is locked in the level 5 biohazard storage chambers which is also locked behind a passcode that changes every 1 minutes. To have access to both codes one must obtain a device containing both codes and changes when they do. The only way to have this device is to obtain express permission from Site Director Eto. Anyone who has not had permission form the Site Director yet has access to device and/or the codes is to be assumed a traitor and executed accordingly. There are no exceptions.

As of this moment testing is not permitted until the O5 Council themselves as well as the Ethics Committee have a unanimous vote in favor of a test regarding SCP-AXP. Should testing ever be approved all participating in said experiment must always wear Foundation Cognito/info hazard protection head gear to prevent infection of SCP-AXP. Furthermore, Mobile Task Force Hecate-A "Real Magic" Division "Sorcerer's Staff" must be present as well as Division "Witch's Wand".

Description: SCP-AXP is a parasite that is able to both control and alter the metaphysical properties of its host. The parasite instances tend to vary in appearance as some appear as a metal earth worms and others resemble a hydra worm but have a crimson glow. There is normally only one SCP-AXP instance in a host, and they are all at least 7 centimeters in length and 5 millimeters in width. When an SCP-AXP manages to enter a host, it will immediately enter the brain via the quickest methods possible whether it be through the nervous system or by tearing through the blood stream. Unlike normal parasites, SCP-AXP does not care about harming its host which is somewhat understandable given the aftereffects. 

It normally takes the parasite no longer than 30 seconds to get into the host's brain. Once the SCP-AXP instance has reached the brain it will burrow into the brain and devours the Hippocampus seemingly replacing it with its own body. tendril like growths will grow form the SCP-AXP instance allowing it to attach to the rest of the brain and inject a venom that ensures full control without resistance. Because the Hippocampus is destroyed the host is essentially brain dead and unable to live in any normal way without the SCP-AXP host. As their personality deteriorates the SCP-AXP takes full control of the body, essentially turning the host into a zombie. 

Like any zombie SCP-AXP hosts will limp around to bite and scratch any living hosts not infected with the SCP-AXP parasite. The venom SCP-AXP injects into its host doesn't just allow it to control the host but fills their bodily fluids with eggs allowing new parasites to spread these eggs through bites or scratches. The eggs hatch within seconds of entering the host and surprisingly most end up exiting the host quickly while the one closest to the brain ends up being the one to start the infection process. How the parasites are able to tell who among them is closest is unknown. The parasites that slither out of the host will attempt to infect those around the host by any means necessary. 

What makes SCP-AXP so vile isn't just how it infects its hosts or turns them into zombies but how it also allows said zombies to evolve into different forms as time goes on. When an SCP-AXP instance has access to digital data whether it be a computer or mobile device they will quickly try to touch it as if it was flesh for them to eat. Once the SCP-AXP host has access to the data it will start absorbing the data until there is nothing left. How this process works is still not fully understood. 

Furthermore, the SCP-AXP host will start to gain the ability to glitch out of reality and instantaneously teleport to another location. This ability gets stronger as SCP-AXP hosts absorb more data. Worst off, the metaphysical mutations tend to vary depending on what kind of data the SCP-AXP host absorbs. If the SCP-AXP host absorbs images of people, animals, plants, objects, or even landscapes the SCP-AXP host will have a 5% chance of developing characteristics corresponding to the images absorbed. Of course, the 5% chance increases as they absorb more data images, the same mutation chance goes for other types of data. If the SCP-AXP host absorbs data revolving information relating science and math, like economic reports or science articles, then their intelligence will increase, and they will start to develop their own ideas and even hunting strategies for capturing prey on the information absorbed. It should be noted that there have even been instances of SCP-AXP hosts that were able to utilize weapons such as blunt objects and even firearms with extreme precision. Finally, if the SCP-AXP host absorbs information based on literature, like an online book, they will start to develop the ability to speak. They will often quote what they have absorbed, develop personality traits based on what is written, and once more data is absorbed be able to speak complex sentences by themselves, especially useful for luring prey. 

As such if SCP-AXP absorbs all of such data and in massive amounts it will essentially become an apex predator for humans. Strangely when SCP-AXP is done feeding it will leave a single file of corrupted image onto the device it absorbed said data from. Once viewed the viewer will instantly become infected with an SCP-AXP parasite. How this is possible is unknown. Thankfully thought through first encounter with SCP-AXP hosts has shown that they are unable to absorb data directly from the internet or implant the parasitic Cognito hazard images into the internet. Otherwise, an XK Class End of the World Scenario would have taken place by now.

SCP-AXP was discovered in 2021 in Nigeria. An entire building at the city of [data expunged] after screams and reports of strange monsters came from inside the building only for silence to follow. Local law enforcement was quick to lock down the building and under order of the Foundation kept people out while MTF operatives went in. Mobile Task Force Delta-4 "Minutemen" were the first to enter the building with 20 units but unfortunately suffered heavy losses. The SCP-AXP hosts inside had already amassed large numbers and some had already mutated greatly making them too much for the MTF Delta-4 units to handle. Many of the MTF Delta-4 units were killed off by SCP-AXP hosts while others accidently saw the Cognito hazard images and became infected instantly. Thankfully they were able to kill a small portion of the hosts. The 4 survivors also managed to obtained blood samples, even an instance of SCP-AXP was obtained, allowing the Foundation to better understand the situation. 

Because of the anomalous metaphysical nature of the anomaly and the possibility of Cognito hazard-based infection Mobile Task Force Hecate-A "Real Magic" Division "Sorcerer's Staff" was deployed. MTF Hecate-A Division "Warlock's Spear" was deployed as well, the entire team consisted of 5 Division "Sorcerer's Staff" units and 15 Division "Warlock's Spear" units. It took them about 5 days to clear out the entire building but in the end were victorious and with no casualties. Its thanks to the conflict with SCP-AXP that the Foundation understands its nature and thus, further testing has been deemed unnecessary as well as not worth the risk. 

Unfortunately, when a Foundation clean-up crew was sent after the building was confirmed safe, they found a biohazard canister with the insignia of the Scriptures of Rotten Flesh and Cybernetic Bones engraved on it. Why the Scriptures created SCP-AXP and if they have more instances on the loose is unknown. Regardless, SCP-AXP is another example as to why the Scriptures are not only one of the newest but also one of the greatest threats to humanity and the Foundation.

4 Trade Ideas for American Express: Bonus Idea

American Express, $AXP, comes into the week at the highest level since March 2022 and approaching the all-time high. This is after breaking short term resistance to end last week. There is room in the Bollinger Bands® to move higher as they point up. The RSI is into overbought territory, but only barely, while the MACD is crossing down but positive. The technical picture suggests long term upward price action and short term movement higher, with the latter at risk of a momentum reset, so a pause or short term pullback. There is resistance at 192 and 195 then 198.50 and 200. Support lower comes at 186 and 181 then 178.50. Short interest is low under 1%. 

The stock pays a dividend with an annual yield of 1.27% and started trading ex-dividend on January 4th. The company is expected to report earnings next on January 26th. The January options chain shows the biggest open interest at the 170 then 182.50 strikes on the put side and at the 200 then 175 call strikes. The January 26 Expiry options pricing suggest a $9.35 move between now and expiry, a range of 179.75 to 198.50, encompassing the earnings report. The February chain shows biggest open interest at the 175 and 160 strikes and at the 195 call. Finally, the March chain has the biggest open interest at the 160 put and it is spread from 160 to 210 on the call side.

American Express, Ticker: $AXP

Trade Idea 1: Buy the stock on a move over 189.75 with a stop at 186.

Trade Idea 2: Buy the stock on a move over 189.75 and add a January 26 Expiry 187.50/180 Put Spread ($2.35) while selling the January 26 Expiry 195 Call ($2.30).

After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which with the first week of January in the books, saw equity markets had retrenched, seeing some profit taking into the New Year.

Elsewhere look for Gold to pause in its uptrend while Crude Oil pauses in its move lower. The US Dollar Index continues to drift to the downside while US Treasuries pullback in their uptrend, potentially in a reversal. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the trend lower while Emerging Markets consolidate in a broad range. The Volatility Index looks to remain very low and stable making the path easier for equity markets to the upside.

Their charts continue to look strong on the longer timeframe after a digestion week in long uptrends. On the shorter timeframe the IWM, QQQ and SPY could have reset momentum measures lower in the bullish range and moved price back below the 20 day SMA for the first time in a while. If this was just a momentum reset, then it has gone far enough to watch for a reversal. If it continues then deeper moves may attack the bullishness of the longer term charts. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.

In 1991, I was working in the Digital Equipment Corp. Alpha Workstations group, designing the memory for the first ever Alpha system, the DEC 3000 AXP.

This DIMM card I was responsible for was the first piece of hardware for the system we actually built, and the photo above is the real first one we ever manufactured, (hence the p001 label)

But it wasn't the first one I designed. My first version of this board was delivered from our PCB manufacturing site to our offices, and everyone came over to see it because they were all excited about having an actual piece of hardware created.

The excitement ended pretty quickly though when we discovered the pads for the memory chips were spaced incorrectly. My layout tech had used the wrong library for the board design, and I failed to catch it.

So the first piece of Alpha hardware was crap, and it was kinda my fault. Super embarrassing at the time. After that, I got into the habit of physically printing board design layouts onto mylar, then going up to our stockroom and requesting one of every component that would go on the board so I could physically put it on the printout and check it.

The stockroom guy probably thought I was weird. But I never screwed up another PCB layout again..
