5174 - Description

SCP-5174 is a brain-based bot network that is intended to terminate selected hosts in Oneiroi Space¹.

The mechanism of SCP-5174 involves the involuntary exploitation of "non-dreamers," in order to create a specific desired effect; of which the most common are tasks that require significant cognitive function to process.

Note that victims of SCP-5174 are not actually accessing Oneiori dream worlds (such a process requires the completion of the Oneiori Joining Technique), rather their mental energy2 is rerouted to a central attacker who then focuses on a Oneiorific node.

1. Oneiroi Space is the colloquial name for the set of hiveminds that are connected through organic hosts in physical space.
2. Mental energy refers to the ability or willingness to engage in cognitive work.
