[[SCP - 173 - N]]

Item #: SCP - 173 - N

Object Class: Safe

**Special Containment Procedures: ** Due to Negative - 173 and its instances having special anomalous effects they are currently not containable by normal means. Thus, the current containment measures are to give Negative - 173 and its instances the allusion of choice as it is the most effective method of containment.

**Description: ** Negative -173 consists of five entities of very similar appearance but strikingly different personalities corresponding to eye color and skin color around the tips of there pointed ears which faintly glow depending on levels of embarrassment . The leading instance (Negative - 173 - 1) calls itself Dex this is the only instance with out a proper iris color or ear color that glows, instead its iris is truly black and is indiscernible from the pupil. Dex is calm and level headed . however the common physicality is as follows; the body structure is similar to the average american Caucasian male of 19 years old, five foot 11 inches in height and of average weight for its height, black hair, a mostly human face save for the skin covered protruding teeth meeting the corners of the mouth ending parallel to the molars just before the wisdom teeth on a normal human, the neck seems like human skin but on closer inspection it is skin colored armor, the body from the shoulders down with a smooth, colored, extremely durable chitin like armor colored black, where the tail bone is on a human Negative - 173 (instances included) has a 4 foot armored prehensile tail that is extremely flexible ,considering how armored it is, ending in a resent scissor pincer that can cut through the toughest materials as well as hold certain objects, the legs are not human obligate biped but is instead obligate digitigrade (walks on toes not heels) biped ending in five toes that are equipped with claws with the longest being the big toes inch and a half long claw. The two arms are different as they are long enough for Negative - 173 and its instances to run quadrupedal-ly at a moments notice, the fingers have a pad like armor in the same spots as humans but these end in sharp short claws that curve inwards slightly. other physical states that differs Negative - 173 and its instances from humans is the lack of genitalia and a rectum. However all of Negative - 173 (N - 173) identify as heterosexual male. N - 173 -2 calls its self Dred his color being red and its personality being brash and unruly often arguing with its fellow lesser instances. N - 173 - 3 is called Drue his iris color color is blue and its personality is stoic, highly intelligent, and cold. Next is N - 173 - 4 is Dren whose iris color is bright green and acts childish, but down to earth. N - 173 - 5 is called Drow its eye color is yellow and acts with out thinking and commonly argues with Dred. N - 173 - 6 is Driot its eye color is violet and is very sarcastic. and finnaly N - 173 -7 is called Dron and it has brown eyes and has a introverted personality.

Upon taking a sample of N - 173 and its instances tissue it was discovered that N-173 was a colony of highly advanced micro crustaceans similar to horseshoe crab, morst species of crabs, and lobsters that the have been dubed N - 173 - 0.5. N - 173 - 0.5 is anti-contingent micro organism that is highly adaptive, can copy genetic information, can eat through all forms of organic matter, and can secrete an unknown dangerous chemical that can liquefy all but bone which it bleaches upon contact. The N- 173 - 0.5 from N - 173 -1 are different which can be presumed to be the dominant species and maybe why other instances of N - 173 consider Dex the leader since what ever it says is law. when threatened all instances of N - 173 can long blade like protrusions , that extend a foot past the finger tips ,out of its arms and release a lethal energy blast from their mouth's or from a special hidden compartment in their chest lined with holes for a quick barrage. all instances of N - 173 are stronger, more durable, run faster, and react faster than any normal human. Site staff believe they might give SCP - 076 a run for his money. another anomaly of note that all of non-decimal N - 173 posses involves the interior of there mouths, which are actually larger on the inside than what is possible this allows the instances to have several rows of sharp teeth and and a tongue that is long enough to extend 4 feet out of the mouth and conceals a smaller set of jaws that are just as strong. another
