[Phillers]

 

All Hail Plankton

Rank: Researcher

Clearance Level: 3

List of Personnel involved in testing: Technical Manager Mike, Researcher Falxen, MTF Nu7 SM Kiddo EI8T, MTF Nu7 CPL Susel SUS3, MTF [REDACTED] CR2, MTF [REDACTED] NC12, MTF [REDACTED] SI26.

Level D personnel involved: 1

SCP: 096

Errors and/or safety hazards: Due to 096's Properties, the windows of the testing chamber were shut using sheet metal.

Question: If 096 is presented with 2 paths to get to 096-1, which will he pick?

Background Research: It is well known that SCP-096 can/will break trough materials to get to 096-1, but not wether it will prefer jumping over things over breaking them.

Hypothesis: It will jump over, it is more then capable of doing so, and it would take less effort then breaking trough.

Observation/Visual Stimuli(Photos/videos):

Outer testing chamber | Shown : Technical Manager Mike, D-6826

Inside of testing chamber, (Before 096 was placed inside). Note the hole in the wall, this was sealed once 096 was inserted.

Inner  testing chamber, main room. (Before 096 was placed inside), Note the hole in the wall, this was sealed once 096 was inserted.

 

Analysis and Conclusion:

Testing chamber was laid out with a wall (Behind which 096 would be kept) and a small ledge in that enclosed space (To allow 096 to jump over the wall). D-Class at the opposite side of the chamber would be given a small satchel containing several pictures of SCP-096 (Later Incinerated). D-Class was instructed to look at the pictures, after which 096 entered a rage state. 096 decided to break trough the wall rather then jump over, which was the, altough shorter, more difficult option of the 2. 

Do your results align with your hypothesis?: No, i expected 096 to take the less exerting path, but it took the shortest.

Score: 88/100

Grade: B+

Lore: 20/20

It has been shown various times 096 prefers the quickest way to its target, and it shows no response to exhaustion or physical damage. So your test followed lore quite well.

Creativity: 20/20

This test is very creative, as it can help us understand if 096 is intelligent and possesses problem solving capabilities.

Presentation: 14/20

The test log was a little drab, and the pictures did look a little off placed. However the log followed the format and the pictures helped visualizing the test setup.

Writing: 34/40

Only a few minor grammar errors, however the log was kind of short.
