Trevor Hawthorn, a D-Class prisoner, and Dr. Julia Reed, a researcher with an undiagnosed heart condition, inadvertently cause a double-containment breach at Site 19, releasing two deadly anomalies: SCP-173, a Killer Sculpture that kills if not looked at, and SCP-689, a statue of death that teleports and kills if not constantly observed. Amidst the chaos, two small, cycloptic anomalies, SCP-131, use their ability to never blink to freeze SCP-173 and SCP-689 in place, saving the lives of many researchers and guards. The heroic role of SCP-131 in containing the breach earns them consideration for permanent roles as "wardens" for similar anomalies.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. Trevor Hawthorn, also known as D-4651, is a prisoner who was condemned to death for murdering two people during a convenience store shoot-out in Texas.
2. Trevor was picked up by the SCP Foundation for D-Class testing.
3. Junior Researcher Dr. Julia Reed has an undiagnosed heart condition that doesn't mix well with her high-pressure job at the SCP Foundation.
4. On December 6th, 2011, Trevor and Dr. Reed were involved in a containment breach at Site 19.
5. SCP-173, also known as the Killer Sculpture, is a violent Euclid-class entity that can't move while being looked at.
6. If SCP-173 is unobserved, it will snap the neck of anyone nearby.
7. SCP-689, also known as Haunter in the Dark, is a Keter-class anomaly that demands attention or it will kill anyone who has seen it.
8. SCP-689 is a small, green soapstone statue of a skeletal being sitting on a throne.
9. Anyone who has seen SCP-689 is "infected" by its anomalous effects and will die suddenly if they stop paying attention to it.
10. SCP-689 must be observed constantly by at least two people, with a third person in a control room wearing a special visor to prevent them from seeing the statue.
11. SCP-131, also known as the Eye Pods, are two small, cycloptic anomalies that never blink and have a soft spot for humans.
12. SCP-131-A and SCP-131-B are identical in appearance except for their colors, with A being burnt orange and B being mustard yellow.
13. The Eye Pods can detect danger occurring in the vicinity, as well as danger occurring near individuals they've bonded with.
14. Trevor was part of a three-man D-Class detail that cleaned out SCP-173's containment chamber at regular intervals.
15. The containment procedures in SCP-689's cell were also a three-person job.
16. Dr. Reed's heart condition caused her to have a fatal heart attack during the containment breach.
17. The Eye Pods sensed the danger nearby and sprang into action to save the staff during the double-containment breach.
18. SCP-131-A and SCP-131-B were able to freeze SCP-173 and SCP-689 in place with their unblinking gaze, allowing a Mobile Task Force to collect them and return them to their containment cells.
