SCP-173's First Victim

by ThatGuyFromThatParty

This is my second story, involving a game I know and love. I also saw Markiplier play it.. That's irrelevant. This story takes place back when the SCP Facility was brand new, and SCP-173 was the most feared. The facility back then was super faulty, so a ton of containment breaches took place. This story happens during SCP-173's first containment breach, and claims his first victim.

SCP Facility

Containment Breach in Progress

[DATA REDACTED]

"The facility is now on lockdown. All remaining personnel are to stay on the nearest shelter until Mobile Task Force Nine-Tailed Fox enters the facility."

SCP-173 was prowling the facility, looking for either victims or allies. Nobody could really tell his thoughts. Guard 254-338 was patrolling the facility along with four other guards in [DATA EXPUNGED] of the facility, looking for SCPs to contain. They were armored in what looked like something new, and were armed with only a FN-P90 Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) in their hands. One gun contained [DATA REDACTED] bullets and hate a firing rate of [DATA EXPUNGED] m/s.

SNAP! "Did anyone else just hear that," asked Guard 254-338. "Yeah. That one tree SCP keeps breaking twigs or something. Besides, we are only 20 feet from its containment chamber." "I could've sworn it was 173."

Just then, a series of screams followed by a whining noise and another scream, came from across the corridor. "Get down! It's SCP-096!" The noise they heard next was unbearable. It sounded like a series of snaps, pops, and the sight of blood splattering everywhere. They tried not to look at its face. The victim was another guard. He was identified as Jeff Bridges, head of SCP Security.

When nobody was looking, SCP-173 snapped the neck of Guard 254-338, and dragged him away to his containment cell. The other guards tried radio contacting him, but no reply came back. The HR of the patrol radioed command, telling them Guard 254-338 was missing and presumed dead. The SCP Foundation sent a letter home to the families of both victims, saying their loved ones were killed in a Euclid and Keter Class containment breach.

All the SCPs were contained about 2 hours after the initial breach. Guard patrols were now made up of 7 guards instead of 5. Every SCP cell except 096's was to have a CCTV Security Camera monitoring them at all times. SCP-096's cell was to have pressure sensors around each wall. These emergency safety protocols saved hundreds of lives during the next breach.
