Rank: Junior Researcher
Clearance Level: 2
List of Personnel involved in testing: CPL Dirtydan(Escort).
Level D personnel involved: One, Gryzzo.
SCP: 999
Errors and/or safety hazards: Other SCPs interfering with experiment or a DEFCON below the level of 4.
Question: Will SCP-999 emit a different scent while hugging someone that differs from said person's scent if they already smell like one of the scent's SCP-999 emits.
Background Research: SCP-999 emits scents while hugging personnel, some of these include chocolate, clean laundry, roses, play-doh, and more. These scents seem to be pleasing to must humans. This could be to please the personnel that 999 is hugging more.
Hypothesis: SCP-999 will recognize and change the scent of the D-Class Personnel even if they already smell like one the previous scents that 999 has emitted.
Observation/Visual Stimuli(Photos/videos): The D-Class personnel that was sprayed in a chocolate scent was hugged thoroughly by SCP-999, then SCP-999 was lured away with candy and then ran off.
Analysis and Conclusion: When the D-Class personnel was smelled when SCP-999 finished hugging, the D-Class Personnel still remained with the scent of chocolate. This could mean that SCP-999 can detect if the personnel already smells pleasant and won't change the scent of the personnel it hugs, further testing with different scents could be required.
Do your results align with your hypothesis?: The results of the experiment do not align with my hypothesis, results contradict hypothesis as SCP-999 might be able to detect pleasant scents on the person it hugs.
