Name/Rank: Junior Researcher Pynput
SCP: 173
Question / Idea: Would SCP-173 be able to consume cooked food, if so, would he prefer killing humans, or would he prefer he food (possible containment?)
Background Research: SCP logs indicate no such recorded activity of consuming its prey, however, they do say:
This could then be assumed either:
A: SCP-173 is capable of producing feces and blood due to unknown methods (Possible resource?)
B: SCP-173 takes in an unknown "food" and can then excrete it.
Hypothesis: SCP-173 is likely excreting material from an anomalous source, as no records have indicated any consuming, or any differences in environment (ex. air pressure)
Observations (What Happened During Test):
Test 1: One D-Class subject was given a box of pizza and put inside the containment cell. The door was then shut due to safety issues.
Test 2: One D-Class subject was given a single slice of pizza and put inside the containment cell. SCP-173 was waiting at the door, got stuck in the shutting door, and recontainment was performed.
Evidence/Visual Stimuli:
Test 1: Crunching similar to normal spinal breakage was heard, and when the door was opened, the pizza box was still untouched.
Test 2: SCP-173 was already at the door as if knowing another test would be performed. He then went to the pizza, but then ignored it and moved on.
Analysis / Conclusion (What Could Have Caused The Results): Due to SCP-173 being at the door, it can be inferred that it has a small sense of smell or hearing. It also did not open the box, showing it does not know how a box works. The pizza being untouched while being noticed could indicate that SCP-173 may be interested in food but has a preference.
Was Your Hypothesis Correct?: More experimentation may be required, however so far my hypothesis is correct. SCP-173 does not seem to take in food.
Other Note: This could be a source of nitrogen/fertilizer or possibly blood for SCP-012.
