[QUOTE=Aperture fan;35350488]What people don't seem to understand is that it's not that they [i]can't[/i] terminate 173 (if I'm not mistaken at least, I remember one of the SCP admins saying this at some point I think) because all you would really need are a few witnesses and a hammer.

You're half right, 173 is euclid class and that's why they don't terminate it. It's easy and inexpensive to keep contained so there's no point in destroying it. 083-D they killed because he was too expensive. 682 they're trying to kill because they can't keep it contained and if it breaks out it will destroy all life on earth. They only terminate them in the event securing, containing, and protecting, is out of the question. It's the Secure Contain Protect foundation for a reason, if you just want to destroy everything go to the GOC.

also it's probably worth mentioning that the GOC fucks up everything imaginable to begin with so it's not even like they're doing the stuff the Foundation can't
One thing I noticed about 173 just now was just how fucking short its arms are.
Don't you think you could bypass the whole 'break-neck speed' thing by crouching/ducking?

I actually wonder why the hell they still have class Ds with mops doing the job, they could install some automated system or have them suspend or clean from a catwalk above.

Why can't they just install cameras?

Come on guys let's not talk about 173 and 682 every second of existence there's over 1000 SCPs out there already

It requires a living thing. I frankly think they should just lock [url=http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-131]131-A/B[/url] in there and be done with it.

But I agree we need to talk about something other than 682 and 173.
Does [url=http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-716]SCP-716[/url] remind anyone else of Final Fantasy VI?

Not all of them. A lot are just like regular scientists doing their regular stuff. It just happens that most of the SCPs that are most interesting to read about either directly require a sadistic workforce or will churn one out of the researchers assigned to it.
How does perception-distorting grass sound for an SCP? Like a species of grass that distorts sensory input varying with some kind of stimuli. For example, if the stimulus was weather, then hot weather would provide different hallucinations to observers than cold weather does.

Sounds interesting I guess, but what if there's inclement weather? [DATA EXPUNGED], right?
How about something like superglue rain caused by that one SCP?

Traumatizing/insanity-inducing LSD trip then I guess. Or [DATA EXPUNGED], though honestly I think that seems to be a go-to cliche with SCPs that have variable output.

Some points of this log are quite hilarious or adorable.

Input: SCP-173
Output: Tiny concrete statue, closely resembling input in vague outline. Paint colors also similar, but arranged such that Min-173 appears to be wearing makeup. Object is also, inexplicably, wearing glow-sticks and a tall striped top hat.
Note: Accidentally blinked. Mini-173 tried to strangle my penis. I quit.[/quote]

What if they record it and show it to someone?
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;35339766]The way I figure it is agents would dress differently depending on what they're doing. For ordinary everyday patrol like stuff I'd think civilian clothes and sunglasses with a concealed weapon. For things like [url=http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-342]the experiments conducted on 342[/url] they'd be dressed as local law enforcement. For 899 and that red lake they'd probably look like park rangers, for something like [url=http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-097]097[/url] and 610 they'd probably be dressed as military personnel. Then MTFs Xi-13, Omicron-9, and Delta-5 would probably look like special forces teams. O-23 would probably wear mostly labcoats since the people who tend to be incapable of dying are usually researchers and scientists.[/QUOTE]

I bet they can't terminate because everyone there to supervise would flinch on every blow of the hammer or something

Simple solutions. Assuming the sound of impact is what causes people to blink, you could have everyone wear earplugs, or simply use some other remotely operated means of demolition.
