SCP 194 testing


Recommended Posts

Lore Name: Clifford
Rank: JR 
SCP:194

Question / Idea: Can you pacify 194 via the use of “bird seed” (several different types of seeds including sunflower seeds used for bird food)
Background Research: 

SCP-194 are visually identical to Corvus corax, or the common raven. Their behavior is also identical to that of most ravens, save for how they display an abnormal degree of comfort in the presence of humans. SCP-194 will not flee from humans unless they are obviously threatened, and are known to perch on humans when it is convenient for them to do so. They also have a distinct diet from normal ravens, preferring to eat meat exclusively over grains and seeds.

SCP-194 gather in large numbers around introverted persons, usually people with antisocial tendencies and little or no history of violence. SCP-194 groups will follow said people around, flocking near their homes or places of work, and flying through whatever areas they are in while outside. Persons who are in prolonged contact with SCP-194 become SCP-194-1. No evidence has been found to suggest that SCP-194 have this effect on other animals.

SCP-194-1 quickly develop antisocial personality disorders and an isolationist mindset if they did not already have those attributes. SCP-194-1 tend to neglect work and relationships, preferring to spend most of their time outside in the presence of SCP-194. If SCP-194 begin to moult, SCP-194-1 will gather up the feathers to eat. Once SCP-194-1 develops a habit of eating feathers they will eat little or nothing else. They will begin to lose body weight at a far greater rate than would be possible even with voluntary starvation.

Approximately one (1) week after the feather-eating stage commences, SCP-194-1 will undergo a metamorphosis; the shoulder blades will develop thin bony protrusions that grow outwards with skin and muscle tissue growing around the bones as they extend. Over the course of twenty-four (24) hours, the protrusions will continue to develop, forming hollow-boned, jointed limbs very similar to birds'' wings. Feathers may already be visibly growing from the "wings" at this period, or they may grow in afterward. All SCP-194-1 who were interviewed have described this transformation as extremely painful, and internal injuries around the upper back are common, as are conditions associated with malnourishment.

After the flightless wing-like appendages are fully grown, SCP-194-1 will become lethargic and spend most of their time resting. They will also become increasingly obsessed with being in the presence of and mimicking SCP-194 and may be hostile to human interference. SCP-194-1 will continue to lose weight and undergo more physical changes, starting with a dramatic shrinking of the spine, atrophy of the limbs, and reshaping of the skull, and ending with the growth of black feathers over any parts of the body that do not already have them. If SCP-194-1 survives to the end of this stage (partial transformation was fatal in 70% of all observed cases), SCP-194-1 will have fully changed shape into SCP-194. Testing has revealed that while it is possible to delay and prolong the transformation for up to six (6) months by keeping SCP-194-1 separated from SCP-194, there is no known way to stop or reverse the transformation without killing SCP-194-1 after the "wings" are sprouted.



Hypothesis: Bird seed will calm 194 down because it’s not too dissimilar to a regular old bird

Observations (What Happened During Test): I gave the d class instructions to make loud noises at 194 to enrage it. I also gave the d class a bag of standard bird seed. Once 194 was enraged and starting yelling, the d class poured the bird seed onto the floor, calming 194. 194 continued to peck at it for several minutes and seemed to enjoy it
Evidence/Visual Stimuli: 
 

Analysis / Conclusion (What Could Of Caused The Results): As my hypothesis said, 194 is not too dissimilar to a regular raven so i correctly assumed it would be calmed by the bird seed
Was Your Hypothesis Correct?: Yes, further testing will have to be done to see what other properties 194 shares with common ravens

Score: B

Grade: Standard

Lore: 20/20

Follows lore perfectly fine

Creativity: 20/20

Most people use d-boys or other creatures to feed SCPs, you actually used a food that makes sense

Presentation: 15//20

You could mess around with the styling more; make it look more appealing

Writing: 30/40

Although you went into detail with the background info, I can tell it was copypasted from the SCP wiki. Plus, the actually test is undetailed and sort of "meh".
