SCP unorthodox testing 1.
Subject(s): SCP-053 and SCP-096.
Testing for: unusual activity.
Notes: due to the unusual reaction by SCP-682 when exposed to SCP-053, it was suspected it's anomalous effects are altered when exposed to living SCP objects. We all know prolonged exposure to SCP-053 causes any humans not in it's age group to lose all sanity and gain an uncontrollable urge to kill it, but are unable to due to it's healing properties. Despite being one of the most hostile SCPs known to the foundation, SCP-682 was completely harmless when exposed. This experiment is to find out if this extends to other SCPs.
begin test
SCPs-053 and 096 are placed into a simple containment chamber under limited observation to minimise risk of viewing 096's face. 053 looks at 096 nervously and cautiously moves closer, then moves back halfway after tapping 096's shoulder, which it took no notice to. 053 then shook 096's shoulder in an attempt to get it's attention.
begin log
053: What's wrong? Don't be sad.
Dr.****: what the?! Did it just speak?
Security officer *******: Yeah, why. That a problem?
Dr****: It never said anything before! It stayed silent during all attempts at communication!
Security officer *******: Maybe whoever did tried the talking just scared her shitless. By the way Doc, why call her an 'it'? Seems like just a kid.
end log
SCP-053 begins to show signs of sympathy for SCP-096 and continues to try to communicate with it. After 2 minutes of no response, 053 tries to find a reason for 096's behaviour, and looks at it's face which causes it to jump back in fear. 096 then stands up and covers it's face while screaming.
begin log
Dr. ****: It saw 096's face!
Security officer *******: What? Oh shit. Get her the hell out of there!
Dr. ****: It's too late for that now! Cease all observations.
Security officer*******: for fuck's sake Doc, can't you hear that?!
053: (banging on containment chamber doors) help! He's scary! Please help!
end log
At this point, SCP-096 ends it's panic and runs to 053 like any other SCP-096-1. However, 096 suddenly stops screaming and 053 crying behind the doors is audible. Upon security officer ******* opening the doors, SCP-053 was still alive and unharmed, sitting against the wall in a fetul position and crying. SCP-096 is silently standing at full height and looking at it. 096 was apparently going to attack 053, but seems to have restrained itself. Dr. **** orders to continue observations.
begin log
Dr. ****: this is interesting. It saw 096's face and triggered it's reaction, but survived. It's almost as if 096 decided to...forgive it for viewing it's face.
Security officer *******: (aggressive) 'It' is a 'she' you piece of shit.
Dr. ****: excuse me?
Security officer *******: You risked letting a kid get torn to pieces just to see what would happen. Some of these things are sort of human in case you haven't noticed. And even so, 053 is about, what, 3 years old? I'm in my mid-**s and I would shit bricks if I saw that freak.
Dr. ****: how dare you. This is going on report in case you haven't noticed!
Security officer *******: maybe I should remind you. That is one of your precious science projects in their, not a fucking D-class.
end log
During this confrontation, SCP-096 lowered itself slightly and started to make more of it's docile noises, but they were shorter and higher pitched. 053 seemed to smile at it and even embrace it while apologising for thinking of it as a "scary monster." Deciding to officially end the experiment, a single D-class ordered to enter the room to draw 096 out.
begin log
D-9653: what the fuck am I looking at?
Dr. ****: please describe what you see.
D-9653: I dunno Doc. There's a kid in here with some starved...thing, and...the hell? Is she hugging that thing?!
Dr. ****: We are still trying to make sense of that. Please try to draw the tall one's attention.
D-9653: Sure whatever. (To himself) not good with kids, so I get a fucking anorexic mutant.
(At this point, D-9653 pulled 096's shoulder to draw it's attention and viewed it's face)
D-9653: JESUS! What in God's name is this thing?! Wait, what's it doing?!
end log
D-9653 exits the cell quickly and reached the containment block just outside. 096 follows him inside and tears him apart. 053 watched 096 kill D-9653 and [DATA EXPUNGED] which caused her severe emotional trauma. SCP-096 was placed back into it's cell safely while security officer ******* escorted SCP-053 back to it's cell. He exhibited some of the 'warning signs' of 053's effects, but did not go under the full effect.
begin log
Interviewer: Please describe what happened at the end of the experiment.
Security officer *******: No problem. A D-class was sent in to draw 096 out so we could put it back into it's cell, which was easy enough once the bag was over it's head. I still can't get over how it [DATA EXPUNGED] that guy just because he looked at it.
Interviewer: I believe you then escorted SCP-053 back to it's cell?
Security officer *******: Yeah. Poor kid must have seen everything 096 did to the D-class. Just saw her in that room rocking back and forth crying her eyes out. I tried not to look at her because...well, you know what happens.
Interviewer: Of course. Please continue.
Security officer *******: anyway, It took me a while to get her to come along to her cell. Just from walking with her, I felt that I wanted to just fire the whole clip in my rifle into her. Jesus, I can't believe I wanted to do that.
Interviewer: That is understandable due to it's anomalous effects. Anything else?
Security officer *******: alright. Anyway, we got back to the cell and She just walked in as soon as the door opened. Before I left, she then asked me to stay with her for a while. I asked her why, and she said, and I quote, "the monster might get me as well." So I told her 096 wasn't going anywhere soon, then I requested to O5 that anymore experiments with either 053 or 096 are to be more thought out.
Interviewer: I see. You clearly have concern for SCP-053.
Security officer *******: yeah. I guess I just don't like the idea of keeping the more harmless ones locked up like the more dangerous sons of bitches. If you think about it, we're pretty much just running a prison.
Interviewer: Maybe, but it's all for the benefit for human life. The foundation aren't exactly humane, but it is necessary. Just to ask, how would you feel about exposing SCP-053 to SCP-106?
Security officer *******: (stands up) What?! Are you fucking insane?
Interviewer: a Calm down. We aren't doing that for certain. At the moment, it is simply just an idea which has not been sent to O5 yet.
Security officer*******: right. Sorry about that. A friend of mine was killed by 106 last time he broke out. I couldn't even recognise the guy. (Short silence) Could I leave now?
Interviewer: yes. You can leave. (Footsteps. Door opening, then closing.) let this go on record. I am personally recommending that security officer ******* has minimal involvement in any projects concerning SCP-053.
