SCP-098 Medical Knowledge Test

[Marshmallow Purple]

                                                                       <SCP-098>                                                                  
Research Project Leader: Research Supervisor Robby
Object Class: Euclid
Item Description: SCP-098 resembles a form of crustacean crab ranging in size and variation. They possess both razor-sharp claws and tough armor.
Containment Procedures: Members of SCP-098 are to be kept in a 10 m x 20 m room with small pools of water and a sandy substrate. Rocks and driftwood are to be left in a random arrangement for SCP-098 to nest in. 
Re-containment Measures: SCP-098 can only be recontained by termination.

Test Idea: Seeing if the "Surgeon Crabs" got their name cause of medical knowledge greater than an average crab

Hypothesis: SCP-098 may have some anomalous knowledge when preforming its surgeries and would most likely have something similar to the knowledge SCP-049 has.

Testing Log:

First some D-Class were obtained and prepared to be injected with 2 different forms of diseases, this was to see if SCP-098 instances could detect and possibly treat illnesses as a human surgeon could. The diseases selected were a mild form of Malaria and the Polio Virus and each D-Class was carefully turned into a carrier without the contagious traits. 

After the D-Class were ready they were rushed to SCP-098s CC where there was 1 instance waiting and this particular instance showed above normal levels of intelligence and was relatively calm despite the on site chaos. When the 2 D-Class were placed into the cell the 098 instance began to inspect the first D-Class, now designated D-098-INF1 and after a few seconds the instance was able to somehow identify and point out the telltale traits of Polio. Next the 098 instance moved onto the other D-Class, now designated D-098-INF2 and was unable to identify its case of Malaria which may lead to the theory that 098 instances cannot detect any waterborne illnesses due to their aquatic nature. Due to the frustration SCP-098 lashed out and [REDACTED] D-098-INF2 which lead to the subjects quick death.

After calming down the 098 instance returned to D-098-INF1 and proceeded to cut open the subject, remove the infected areas and somehow cleared the subject of all traces of Polio

After all was done the SCP-098 instance was left alone with the 2 bodies as reward for good behavior and the test concluded.

 

Testing Results:

Was The Hypothesis Correct?: Yes but further testing will be initiated to understand the knowledge level possessed by SCP-098 instances.

Were There Any Incidents/Foundation Deaths?: Unable to say for sure as a CI Mech was spotted as the testing was going on but had no effect on test outcome.

How Will These Findings Help Research?: I believe that these findings of SCP-098 having some form of medical knowledge is a wake up call to how dangerous and possibly similar this SCP could be to other medical anomalies such as SCP-208 and SCP-049.

Final Test Score Sheet

Grammar : 8/10

There are some run-on sentences such as "After the D-Class were ready they were rushed to SCP-098s CC where there was 1 instance waiting and this particular instance showed above normal levels of intelligence and was relatively calm despite the on site chaos". I recommend splitting a sentence like this into two sentences. Other than that, the spelling appears to be correct.

Creativity : 10/10

The test idea and abundance of photos are really nice. I don't really see SCP-098 get tested on a lot so it is nice to see something different.

Design / Format : 9/10

This log is very pleasing to the eyes and easy to read. However, I do believe if you used something like google docs you could add a little bit more.

Final score :  27/30

This is a very good test log. My advice is to re-read your log after you are finished to hopefully find any grammatical errors.
