Form Title: [SCP-131] ~ Research (August 12, 2019)

Rank: JR

Clearance Level: 2

List of Personnel involved in testing: Dova, JR Illager, Security Riot Control [REDACTED]

Level D personnel involved: 1

SCP: 131

Errors and/or safety hazards: N/A

Question: Can SCP-131 read?

Background Research: SCP-131(AKA "The Eye Pods") are friendly teardrop shaped creatures that use a wheel for locomotion. SCP-131 have a single unblinking eye and form bonds easily.

Hypothesis: SCP-131 is not smart enough to read.

Observation/Visual Stimuli(Photos/videos): N/A

Observation Log: Dova was given a pen and paper and was instructed by Illager to write a safe for work message for SCP-131. Dova wrote "You are an amazing SCP and keep doing what you're doing" on the paper. SCP-131 was told to jump if he understood the message. SCP-131 did, indeed, jump.

Analysis and Conclusion: SCP-131 does indeed know how to comprehend writing, though it is not known if it understands the words themselves or simply the intention behind the note.

Do your results align with your hypothesis?: No.

Note from Illager: If SCP-131 can truly understand writing, then a good idea would be to put "Rules" for SCP-131 in its chambers, such as where it's allowed to go.
