Upon contact with visible light produced by SCP 001, living organisms liquefy at the point of contact, with the effect spreading until the entire organism is converted into a form resembling melted wax. Organisms exposed to SCP001 though, do not perish.

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.

    Anytime that I can give an SCP a voice, especially one as famous as 173, it’s gonna be a good episode. Hope you enjoy ❤
  • @TheQwertt
    You gotta love how SCP-173 has the vocabulary of a toddler.
  • @djdee6386
    I’m suprised (but happy) that the When Day Breaks series is still ongoing after the big compilation recently.

    “I live for crunch” Same here, crunchyroll, captain crunch, crunch candy bar.
  • @lif3ischa0s32
    "Neck go 𝙘𝙧𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙝. Crunch is beautiful sound. " I can die happily knowing that this sentence was said in the same plane of existence that I live in
  • Wondered why they never filled the room with chameleons or something.
  • Containment really takes a toll on this statues mind. He forgot crunch can also be found in food.
  • @changlboom
    I like that when they retconed 173 for copyright reasons or whatever it was they still kept the head
  • What if you give scp 173 a pair of headphones that simulate the sound of the crunch it makes when snapping people's necks and put it in a room where it feels like it's always being watched?
  • @Felix24148
    A good story for 173. But I can only imagine how it'd go insane in it's own way when it can no longer find people to kill. Though there is a silver lining. It could hunt SCP-682, who is actively hunting and eating the glob creatures at night.

    173 is the perfect candidate for a cereal commercial.
  • @Clatgineer
    I saw a different video on this topic and remember him being much more sophisticated and complex. I remember an inverse 096, he loved it when his beauty had been taken in, but was overwhelmed with sadness and disrespect once they looked away, reminding him of the monster he was. I remember him stuck in his cell until his "fluids" flooded the cell months maybe years after the event which then hit a breaking point, destroying the cell and letting him witness the terror outside
  • @Deedoo_r
    it's like that one episode of the twilight zone where the world ends and that guy is the only survivor and he gets to read all the books he want by himself forever, but then his glasses broke

    "A trail of broken spinal columns and vandalized vertebrae " Dude I love that!
