So I take it the picture 682 uses is actually of a dead cetacean?
If it wasn't for the teeth i'd say it's the remains of a tree or something
Wasn't, to be more precise, the photo of an unidentified dead cetacean?
Or that was just bullcrap and it's just a dead baby whale?
[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;35866116]I believe the term "cetacean" includes whales.[/QUOTE]
What i meant to ask was if it was an unknown kind of cetacean or a simple whale, a known kind of cetacean.
It's a dead baby whale, sorry to crash the party.
I always saw 682 more as an alligator than a whale.

For that game idea, I think it'd be cool if when shit goes down, you're a D-Class and you are stationed with one of the friendly humanoid SCPs, and you work together somehow, which could be a gameplay mechanic. I can't think of any such SCPs off the top of my head though.
And it'd also make room for co-op possibly.
Turns out 173's got an entire family.

Still, that picture of 173 in that weird garage is still freaky as fuck.
I gathered a few photos from the auxiliary pictures thread for you guys to use for SCPs if you wanted to.

SCP-XXX-3 after being opened by Agent-█████
[B]Item #:[/B] SCP-XXX (Fortune Cookies)
[B]Object Class:[/B] Safe
[B]Special Containment Procedures:[/b] Instances of SCP-XXX are to be stored in the site-██ break room. SCP-XXX Is safe to digest.
[B]Description:[/B] SCP-XXX Is a small, rectangular box, filled with roughly ██-███ small "fortune cookies" The box itself has no anomalous properties, however the fortune cookies inside do have an effect. any fortune cookie broken open will reveal a small piece of paper, with a small, philosophical sentence on it, as a normal fortune cookie would, however, the ink seems to be "detached" from the paper, seemingly floating off the edges of the scrap. contact with the ink shows no ill effect, and an object will move through it un-impeded. should the paper be ripped, torn, burnt or otherwise destroyed, the ink vanishes, leaving only scraps of paper. SCP-XXX Instances may be mis-spelled, such as SCP-XXX-3, miss-spelling "freind"
SCP-XXX Was found when Agent █████ was eating lunch at a local food stand. Questioning of the owner of the stall revealed that the cookies were ordered normally, and questioning of the manufacturers revealed that the fortune cookies had been made normally, and checked before shipping.
If a staff member opens an instance of SCP-XXX, They are encouraged to add the number classification, And what the message reads in the following log.
[b]Logs:[/b]
Number classification: SCP-XXX-1
Reads:"Back away from individuals who are impulsive"
By: Agent █████, during one of his lunch breaks
Number classification: SCP-XXX-2
Reads:"For success today look first to yourself."
By: Agent █████, making sure he was not hallucinating, Due to shock of SCP-XXX-1, and recent outbreak of SCP-████.
Number classification: SCP-XXX-3
Reads:"A freind [sic] is a present you give to yourself"
By: Agent █████ and Dr.██████, to test SCP classification.
Note: First photographed instance, picture available above
Number classification: SCP-XXX-9
Reads:"Elegant surroundings will soon be yours."
By: Agent ███████.
Note: SCP-XXX-4,5,6,7 And 8 Were not logged
[i]Testing is to be halted, By order of Dr.██████
"We have finished over half the box, and we don't even know if the damn things are poisoned. Don't eat any more until we can located another box. If we can located another box" -Dr.██████[/i]

So I have some pretty good film equipment. Plus, I have a group of a few people that want to help make films, and I am actually going into it as a career. Should we look into making a couple short SCP "episodes"? I just recently heard about it and don't know much about it.

I think 173 is a bit overdone. He's scary and difficult to survive sure, but there are far more unique and plot-worthy SCPs out there than a neck-snapping chunk of concrete.

Fix your capitals man, commas are followed by lowercase letters.

That is really common here, there larvae whose name I don't remember do that. Then they eat the leaves off the whole tree and it suffers a lot, poor thing.
If I'd saw a SCP with that as a pic I'd just skip because that isn't even weird to me.

Ah sorry, I didn't know. I'm still reading all of the thread.

The part that makes him unscary to me is that he is easily beatable and not really to special except for the super fast movement. Literally the foundation could destroy him if they wanted but he hasn't caused enough collateral damage to justify it.

I think there is a bit of a mystery worth investigating there, though. Like that time they introduced 173 to that SCP who's basically God, and he walked away all shaken saying "He's not one of mine."
Link me to that. Sounds interesting.
And, yeah, you can't really destroy it, given that and that result from the machine who duplicated a part of it. And it's a goddamn mobile, neck-breaking concrete and rebar statue.
Looked it up, it's not 173, it's 682.
(On why 343 (God) cannot just destroy 682, in a thread on the forums)
[quote]The out-of-universe answer is that he's a deus ex machina; writers could just use him to magic the danger out of, well, anything. So he's so useful that he would make the rest of the site boring. Here's a thought experiment: try to write a Tale involving him solving the containment issues of another SCP that isn't incredibly dull and predictable to read. The only one I can think of is the Bright Side tale where he encounters 682 and even there, he actually couldn't perceive or interact with 682 because "he's not one of mine." It's the same reason that the witch child was decommed; she was too powerful and unlike 343, was of a mindset to actually do something about it.
In-universe, either no-one has asked him, or he's declined to help. It's the same reason/rationale that the out-of-universe Christian God doesn't just solve all problems in the world. As I've heard it put, "God answers every prayer. Sometimes the answer is 'no'."[/quote]

It's incredibly easy to destroy 173. The reason people have carefully sidestepped the whole "it's literally a concrete statue why can't you just break it" is because, well, you can break it. If it weren't able to be broken they'd have put that in the article.
