TheBetterBrandon Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) Name: Dr. Brandon Rank: Junior Researcher Clearance Level: 2 List of Personnel involved in testing: | 1 Executive Researcher | 2 Junior Researchers | 1 Security Officer | Level D personnel involved: 3 SCP: 173 Errors and/or safety hazards: Failed thorough inspection & strip of all D-Class before testing. 2 D-Class were seen holding blunt weapons (One holding an aluminum baseball bat and the other a plumber's wrench), attacking SCP-173. Luckily, SCP-173 sustained minimal damage, with bits of concrete & chipped paint on the floor. Question: Would the viewing of SCP-173 using a third-party visual aid inhibit its ability to move? Background Research: Unbroken direct eyesight of SCP-173 results in its inability to move. However, once direct eyesight is broken, SCP-173's movements become rampant. It is recommended that at least 3 people should keep direct eye contact with SCP-173 in the event of contact. Hypothesis: If the D-Class looked through a camcorder and uses it to maintain eye contact with SCP-173, then SCP-173 should not move. Observation/Visual Stimuli(Photos/videos): All 3 D-Class were instructed to hold a camcorder to their eye and to close the other. They were to view SCP-173 at all times for 5 minutes. After inserting the D-Class into 173's containment chamber, they began to encircle it wielding blunt weapons. They start to beat 173 for 5-10 seconds before stopping. "Locker-room talk" ensued for around a minute before they began to talk inappropriately to SCP-173. [Video & Audio Log of Experiment via Security Footage] (20:06:39) D-2397: Keep looking at it -- You're gonna get us killed. (20:06:43) D-1273: OHH [DATA EXPUNGED]! RUNNN! SCP-173 begins chasing D-2397 & D-1273 around the containment chamber, with D-3478 avoiding confrontation and maintaining eye contact. D-2397 & D-1273 continue to cry for help before getting their neck snapped by 173.* (20:07:01) D-3478: LET ME OUT! The containment doors are opened and D-3478 is removed from the test. [END Log] The remaining D-Class was given a Class-B amnestic and returned to D-Block via Security escort. Analysis and Conclusion: The camcorder acted as an extension of the human eye, with direct eye contact preventing SCP-173 's ability to rapidly move. The breaking of eye-contact with SCP-173, however, still resulted in it moving. We now understand that the use of visual aids can be used to disable SCP-173 ability to move, as long as the eye was focused on 173. Do your results align with your hypothesis?: Yes.

Emperor Palpy Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Dr. Anborough (Oppenheimer) here, once again Sheldon/Brandon, exceptional testing and creativity. Your attention to detail is perfect as well as the inclusion of audio logs adds to the authenticity. That being said, if no one disagrees, I believe that this is a Quality Test.
