SCP 173/SCP 066 Cross test

[ActFast231]

Lore Name: Junior Researcher Fasten

Rank: Junior Researcher

SCPs: SCP-173/SCP-066

Question / Idea: My aim was to test whether or not the eyes that are affixed to SCP-066 could halt SCP-173 from moving, as if it were being observed, and if there was any shift in movement at any point during observation from SCP-066.

Background Research: SCP-173 has demonstrated an inability to move while being directly observed. It can, however, move incredibly swiftly when not observed, such as when the observer blinks. SCP-066 is, in it's current form, a ball of yarn with several eyeballs attached at random, unblinking.

Hypothesis: I believe SCP-066 may possess the ability to impede the movement and actions of SCP-173.

Observations: One Class D, and SCP-066, were brought into the containment cell of SCP-173, before the doors were sealed. The Class D was instructed to look away from SCP-173 once the doors were closed, while SCP-066 was instructed to do the opposite. Initial results appeared promising, as the Class D continued to speak through the containment cell door, citing nothing out of the ordinary happening. However, after an estimated fifteen seconds, the sound of rustling concrete, and crunching bone, interrupted the Class D's words. Opening the containment cell confirmed that the Class D had been terminated by SCP-173. Curiously enough, it seemed to hold no special interest in SCP-066, whom was swiftly escorted from the cell, before resealing SCP-173 inside. 

Evidence/Visual Stimuli: N/A

Analysis / Conclusion: Based on auditory observation, it initially seemed as though SCP-066 was able to successfully deter SCP-173's movement. Given the delay between sealing the chamber doors, and the termination of the Class D, this suggests a few possibilities. Perhaps the eyes attached to SCP-066 are 'blind', effectively non functional, and do not impede SCP-173's progress. Another possibility is that SCP-066 experiences a 'break' in observation, not dissimilar to how one 'blinks'. It is also possible that the Class D delayed in looking away from SCP-173 after being instructed to do so. Further testing may be required, but initial results show promise.

Was Your Hypothesis Correct?: At the present moment, I'm inclined to say 'no'. Again, further testing may shed more light on the subject.
