[A/N] Check out TheVolgun's video on SCP-173! Oh, and every time 173 makes a sound, imagine a close-up shot of it's face.

"I feel like causing a commotion today." 343 said to himself in his containment room.

He then snaps his fingers and a portal appears. He reaches his hand through such portal.

"I should probably get this locked up as soon as possible. 914 is an unpredictable SCP..." 05-1 said in his office putting down the book-like object.

Suddenly, a hand grabs the book out of 05-1's hand and disappears. He sat there for a few seconds in disbelief before shaking, and then pressing a button to call the other 05 members.

"Uhh... I think a Keter-class SCP just swallowed information containing every SCP we've ever encountered..." He said shaking a bit.

"Again?" 05-2 said.

"Yeah..." 05-1 responded.

"I'm bored!" Yang said laying back on her bed.

"Aww me too!" Ruby said planking on the floor. "Our classes for the day are done and I have absolutely nothing to do!"

"Why don't you two read a book?" Blake asked. "That's what I do."

"Blake turns a page to reveal the outline of a small object in the next page over. She flips the page to see a folded piece of paper that resembled a makeshift bookmark. She took it out of the book and payed no mind to it and placed it upon the nearest table. The paper began to slowly unfold itself the second it left Blake's hand and it extended into a hardcover book. On the cover was a symbol. The symbol was a circle with three arrows pointing into it from the outside, a barrier surrounded the arrows and circle. The title beneath the symbol said:
' SCP Foundation
Secure, Contain, Protect '
Ruby opened her eyes at the sight and instantly picked up the book. The rest of them were about to stop Ruby, but she already opened the cover. A bright blue light scrounged the room, seemingly scanning everything in it. Ruby noticed this and quickly dropped the book. The light disappeared. Nothing happened for a few seconds.

"What. Was. that." Weiss said wide-eyed.

"I'm not sure..." Blake answered.

Yang equipped her gauntlets and walked slowly up to the book. She picked it up and read the first page, which was signed by someone named '914-chan'. The second page was completely blank, and also the next one, and the next one. Once yang had skimmed to the last page, which was also blank, the book closed itself and started to turn into a basic windows laptop. The whole ordeal was confusing the team on why all these unnecessary steps were needed. The laptop sat on the floor, waiting to be turned on.

"...So are we just going to leave it or...?" Weiss asked.

"I'll volunteer to press it!" Ruby said grabbing the machine.

"As long as it doesn't explode, I'm fine with you doing that." Yang said getting close to Ruby.

"Girls, we still don't know what-'
"Already pressed the on button!" Ruby interrupted Blake.

The laptop booted up quickly. The only thing on the desktop was the same symbol they saw on the book's cover labeled 'The Foundation' and a .pdf file labeled 'Object Classes'. There was no hotbar. Ruby placed the laptop on the desk and used the mouse pad to open the Object Classes .pdf file.

"SCP objects are categorized by containment difficulty. There's three standard classes (Safe, Euclid, and Keter), two neutralized classes (Explained and Neutralized), and one esoteric class (Thaumiel). Each one can tell you a lot about the SCP before you even read the Description or Containment Procedures." It started off saying.

"What's an SCP object?" Blake said reading along.

"I'm not too sure." Yang responded.

"When considering an SCP's object class, the usual advice is to use the "Locked Box Test," wherein you question what would happen if you leave an anomalous object in a locked box, with four standard answers:
-Safe SCPs will do nothing of interest when locked in a box.
-Euclid SCPs will do something bad when you lock them in a box unless you check on them or poke holes in the box so they can breathe.
-Keter SCPs will eat the box, shit on the rug, and kill your grandmother unless you do something about it.
-Thaumiel SCPs are the box that contains the other Keters to make them stop shitting on the rug."

"What even is an SCP if it requires these types of class identifications?" Weiss said.

There wasn't anything else besides that on the .pdf file. Ruby clicks out of the file and into 'The Foundation' file. The whole screen becomes dark black and a warning is pasted on the screen.

WARNING: THE FOUNDATION DATABASE IS
CLASSIFIED
ACCESS BY UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED
PERPETRATORS WILL BE TRACKED, LOCATED, AND DETAINED

"C-Classified? That means that we probably shouldn't be doing whatever we're doing..." Ruby said disappointed.

"Identification verified. Welcome, 05-1." The computer posted on the screen.

"Orrr. We could scrounge around this thing for a while." Said Yang.

The screen continued onto a white background and a list of SCPs ranging from SCP-001 to SCP-4999. There were many other tabs on there, but the actual list stood out more to them. Ruby looked up and down the list before spotting in bold: SCP-173 - The Sculpture.

"I want to click it." She said suddenly.

"Ruby, we have no idea what that will do-"
"Clicking it." Ruby interrupted Weiss

Suddenly, the computer started to play a voice clip.

"Good evening, everyone. My name is researcher Miller and today we're going to be studying SCP-173. Object Class: Euclid." The tape played as the screen portrayed a black background.

"Researcher?" Blake asked. "So whatever this is, it's a group or foundation that studies something."

"Special Containment Procedures: Item SCP-173 is to be kept in a locked container at all times. When personnel must enter SCP-173's container, no fewer than 3 may enter at any time and the door is to be relocked behind them. At all times, two persons must maintain direct eye contact with SCP-173 until all personnel have vacated and relocked the container."

"I'm curious on what SCP-173 actually is." Yang said pulling up a chair to sit on to view the laptop.

A knock is heard at the door and Ruby presses the spacebar on the laptop to pause the clip. Blake walks over to the door and it's revealed to be team JNPR. Jaune is at the front and is the first to talk.

"What's that noise coming from in here?" Jaune asked.

"We're listening to classified information!" Ruby said having a thumbs up.

"Classified?" Nora said dashing into the room.

"What have you done." Ren face palmed.

"Can we stay too?" Nora begged.

"I don't see why not." Yang responded.

"I am continuing!" Ruby said pressing the spacebar once again.

"Moved to Site-19 in 1993. Origin is as of yet unknown. It is constructed from concrete and rebar with traces of Krylon brand spray paint. SCP-173 is animate and extremely hostile."

A picture of SCP-173 is put on the screen.

"Now you've confused me. Didn't that thing just say it's made of concrete? Why did he immediately say that it was animate and hostile. Concrete cannot move!" Jaune pointed out.

"That thing looks weird. It looks like a big baby." Nora said.

"The object cannot move while within a direct line of sight. Line of sight must not be broken at any time with SCP-173. Personnel assigned to enter container are instructed to alert one another before blinking."

"Now, you've confused me even more than before. Now he's explaining that this statue can move." Jaune continued.

"I don't know, Jaune. Maybe that isn't an overlook." Pyrrha said

"Object is reported to attack by snapping the neck at the base of the skull, or by strangulation."

"Woah, it kills people?!" Blake exclaimed.

"In the event of an attack, personnel are to observe Class 4 hazardous object containment procedures. Personnel report sounds of scraping stone originating from within the container when no one is present inside. This is considered normal, and any change in this behavior should be reported to the acting HMCL supervisor on duty."

"So it does move, AND it's made of stone?!" Jaune pondered.

"The reddish brown substance on the floor is a combination of feces and blood. Origin of these materials is unknown. The enclosure must be cleaned on a bi-weekly basis."

That sudden addition made the teams open their eyes in shock.

"This was a very short lecture today, but suffice to say we will be covering much longer documents in the future. Thanks very much for listening, you are all dismissed, thank you."

The clip ended and the screen was spat back out to the list. The document of SCP-173 was now a light gray.

The two teams stood there in silence.

"Well, I'm going back to our dorm." Ren said going out the door. "Come on, Nora. We don't want to bother them any more than we need to."

Team JNPR left team RWBY's room.

"That was a cool read though, I have to admit." Blake said as the door closed.

"But imagine if something like that actually existed." Yang joked.

The team is interrupted in their talk by the sound of stone scraping against the floor behind them. They turn around to see the same creature from their read standing in the middle of their room. They all jump back in surprise and then bring out their weapons. It was SCP-173, the thing they just read about. The thing just stood there, menacingly.

"Should we... attack it?" Ruby asked.

"I'm not too sure. It hasn't done anything yet." Blake answered.

"Are you kidding me?! Of course we need to attack it! The laptop literally just said it kills people when nobody is looking at it!" Weiss said pointing her weapon.

*surprised nut noises*

The lights in the room suddenly dim and the team loses eye contact with the statue. Once the lights turn back on, the thing was then standing with Weiss' weapon beneath it. Blake went to cut the statue, only for it to be deflected by 173's hard shell. Weiss is trying to carefully take her weapon back from under the heavy statue, but it wouldn't budge. The team all coincidentally blink at the same time again, only for the being to be laying down on Blake's bed.

*sleeping nut noises*

"Isn't it supposed to be attacking us right now?" Asked Yang.

"See? We shouldn't attack it." Ruby said confidently.

The computer outputted a beep and a message appeared on the screen.

"From: 343
Hello, beings from another world, my name is Yahweh. As you can see, there is a homicidal sentient statue in your room. Don't be alarmed by this fact because that's how this computer works. Researcher Darby put a laptop into 914 on Very Fine and it outputted this machine. I don't know how he managed to not die from that experiment but here we are. This laptop contains all the information on every SCP subject that we have in containment. Once you are done reading through an SCP's file, that SCP is brought into your world, whether it's far away from your location or not. Most of the SCPs in question will also hold no resentment against the ones that read the file, but they will still act aggressively towards anyone else who has not read up about it. Their violent action should cease, though, after you scold them. Now, enjoy your new plaything."

The message disappears from the screen and the team is left with the original list screen.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"I'm going to bed." Ruby said jumping onto her bed and burying her head in a pillow.

The rest of the team stood there for a second before also reluctantly sleeping in their beds. Blake simply slept on the floor.
