Spice1 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Lore Name: Spice Rank: Associate Researcher SCP: SCP-173 Question / Idea: Does SCP-173 have sentience or emotion? Background Research: We all know its a statue, we don't know what causes it to move, but generally things that move are living. It also excretes waste, though it doesn't need any food to survive. Hypothesis: It would not react to the comments made about it, and proceed to kill at random. Observations (What Happened During Test): I brought three (3) Class - D Personnel into SCP-173's containment cell after briefing them on what they are supposed to do. One of the Class - D was told to compliment SCP-173, the other was told to insult SCP-173, and the third was told to do nothing, as a control variable. When we entered SCP-173's Containment cell, the class - D that was instructed to insult SCP-173 refused, this resulted in his termination and we continued the test. The 2 Class - D Remaining was the one who complimented SCP-173, and the one who didn't do anything. We all looked away from SCP-173 and he severed the vertebrae of the Class - D who was complimenting him. We ended the test and returned the Class - D to his cell. Evidence/Visual Stimuli (N/A if unable/none): N/A Analysis / Conclusion (What Could Of Caused The Results): I assume SCP-173 did not react to the comments made about him due to one major factor. SCP-173 does not require any nutrients to sustain itself. This means it cannot be living as all cells require food to live. It is possible that SCP-173 killed the D - Class complimenting him first, because he thought he was "sucking up to him." This is a possibility and the test will be redone with all 3 D - Class participating in the experiment. Was Your Hypothesis Correct?: Initially I predicted that SCP-173 would react to the comments, but after realizing that it most likely is not a living organism, I quickly changed my mind. Yes, my hypothesis was correct. For now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
