SCP-106's ability explained
Posted: Wed Apr 10, 2013 2:17 am
I think this is how SCP-106 (The Old Man) works. 106's base is a decomposing body of an elder. Around the body is mucus. That's why it leaves a mucusy substance because it is mucus. A very large amount. This means that the digestive system is incredibly powerful and is sticking out of the body. The mucus within exits the digestive system and covers the base. And when there's mucus from the system, there's hydrochloric acid. That is what allows SCP-106 to pass through anything.
Now the reason why SCP-106 retreated from the tesla gates and is contained with a type of electric use was tricky, but not unsolvable. Electricity can possibly remove the mucus of SCP-106. With this, the hydrochloric acid can leak on the base, therefore, burning holes through the base easily. Why so easily? SCP-106's base is decomposed, very fragile and weak (This also explains why SCP-106 "walks" after you). Besides that, the internal organs must be very fragile. Electricity travels through the body and could possibly injure your organs.
How does he retreat? He's sentient. The scientists thought SCP's were dumb and look where that got them: The sole purpose to why Containment Breach was made. Anyway, our body will automatically back away from danger. If you put your hand on a stove, your body will sense the incoming damage and immediately flinch back. SCP-106's body also works the same way.
You also may wonder, "His body's decomposed. So he's dead." Not entirely. Your body can still be in a fire and it will survive, just a few "mutations". Your body could look like that if you were in a fire. But the most plausible reason why his body has decomposed is that the hydrochloric acid may have came out before the mucus did.
That's basically 106 for you. Tell me what you think and tell me if I missed anything.
