SCP-173 Test: "The Optometrist"

Name:

Rank:
Junior Researcher

SCP Tested:
SCP-173

Name of Escorting Personal: 
OFC Konig and LCPL Raccoon1

Aim of Test:
While its known that SCP-173 cannot move under direct observation, the specific parameters  of what is considered 'observation'  is far from conclusive. The aim of this test is to hopefully add some more clarification on the parameters of its movement. More specifically, what counts as 'direct observation'. Inside this test 3 Mirrors were placed across from each other inside its containment all reflecting SCP-173's sight towards itself. One of these mirrors however, was one-way allowing one from viewing SCP-173 from the other side of the mirror. A D-Class was prepared and placed behind one of these mirrors to experiment whenever...

A): Would SCP-173 move with its own reflections? 
B): Would SCP-173 manage to locate and terminate the D-Class personal without knowing where specifically.

Hypothesis:
Its difficult to give a proper assessment however,  I believe SCP-173 will show some initial confusion on where it is being viewed from and lead to the eventual result of destroying all mirrors to locate its observor. While I heavily doubt it there may be a chance it may not move at its own reflection regardless of the D-Classes viewing. 

Observation:
There was no complications with the setting up of the experiment. Once everything was placed the observation shutters were closed and remained until the shattering of glass was heard which occurred roughly one minute after the start of the experiment. Once opened, SCP-173 was seen standing in the now broken one-way mirror with the D-class inside.


Using the PA, we were able to learn from the D-Class that according to him, SCP-173 didn't hesitate and moved directly to his mirror from the start of the experiment kept only by his blinks. The D-Class managed to get past SCP-173 and hide using the mirrors. The shutters were closed once again for 30 seconds to only reveal a deceased D-Class lying near the northeastern mirror. 

Result:
- SCP-173 was able to swiftly track which mirror was the one-way 
- SCP-173 was able to move under its own observation
- SCP-173 knew the location of the D-Class observing it despite no known way to do so. 
- SCP-173 didn't hesitate, nor attempt to damage the other mirrors. 

- Hypothesis gave mixed results. SCP-173 did not give any hesitation and was able to swiftly locate its target however, proven correct was that 173 would not stop at its own observation.
