Experiment: AEK.8301

Subject: SCP-AEK/ Code Name: Pikmin

Current Condition of Subject: Still loyal to Site Director James.

Testing Purpose: Site Director James has recently discovered that certain fruit juices and spices have different effects on SCP-AEK-2 instances. She wants to see how far these changes go and if it's possible to use them to make SCP-AEK-2 instances stronger so that they can further benefit the Foundation.

Testing area: 10x10 meter room located at Site-AA

Staff Involved: Site Director James, Dr. Wicked, Dr. Wall, and Dr. Stroke

***

Test 1: What happens when SCP-AEK instances drink something sour.

Set Up: For this experiment Site Director James only summoned a single instance of SCP-AEK-2-Α, B, and Γ. She claimed that they were the most basic so whatever results happened to them would most likely happen to the others, also testing them all would take too long. The SCP-AEK-2 instances were placed on the table of the testing chamber. In front of them is a dish filled with Kumquat juice as well as other juices from sour fruit.

Result: Each SCP-AEK-2 instance suddenly morphed into a small glowing orbs upon drinking the sour juice. The orbs then suddenly float upward, toward Site Director James, and through the glass. Site Director James holds out her hand and the glowing orbs float onto it, following her hand when she moved it as well. After about 5 minutes they turned back to normal.

End notes: Site Director James made a request to continue this test along with some changes.

Test 1.1: What happens when SCP-AEK instances drink something sour. (Target Practice)

Set up: This time several targets are placed on one side of the testing chamber. Site Director James this time has summoned 30 of each SCP-AEK instance. All of which have been placed on the table of the testing chamber. There are now several dishes placed on the table to ensure all Pikmin get a sip. Site Director James is now in the testing Chamber with them.

Result: The Pikmin all turn into glowing orbs however those that are of the same species end up fusing together into a larger orb. Site Director James smiled as she predicted this, she then raised her hand and the orbs floated over to her palm. She walked over to the targets, grab the red orb and threw it at one. The orb flew with great precision and high speed, resulting in an explosive fireball hitting the target destroying it entirely. The SCP-AEK-2-A instances turn back to normal and ran behind Site Director James like normal.

Site Director James then threw the yellow and blue orbs at two other targets. The target hit with the blue orb is hit with accelerated water resulting in it having a hole and several cuts blasted through it. The target hit with the yellow orb was hit with an explosion of electricity leaving nothing but ash as a result. Once again, the SCP-AEK-2 instances turn back to normal afterwards and run behind Site Director James.

End notes: The O5 are not going to be happy knowing Nancy is making her pets more powerful as a result of testing. But still, this is getting fun, let's keep going.

Test 2: What happens when SCP-AEK instances drink something bitter.

Set up: Now there is only one of each SCP-AEK-2 instance placed on the table. A single dish is place in front of them, filled with bitter juice made form Grapefruit and other fruits that contain bitter taste.

Result: After drinking it the SCP-AEK-2 instance seem to start burping this strange purple gas. They accidently start burping on each other resulting in them all being paralyzed in a strange, hardened cocoons. This result only lasts for about 5 minutes before they turn back to normal.

End notes: We need to see if this can be weaponized.

Test 2.1: What happens when SCP-AEK instances drink something bitter. (SCP-AEK vs SCP-AEW)

Set up: This time only SCP-AEK-2-A are being used and Site Director James summons 50 this time. Three small cages are placed on the table each one containing an instance of SCP-AEW 5–7-inch Beta instances. One is the classic red skin with white spots, another is the more aggressive black skin with red spots, then there is the quick and cunning organ skin with black spots.

A single Foundation security agent with a hammer is with Site Director James in case the SCP-AEW 5–7-inch Beta instances manage to escape and attack the Site Director. This time the bitter juice is put inside a spray bottle that is currently being held by Site Director James.

Result: the Security unit opens one the first cage of the red skin white spot breed allowing it to hungrily walk towards the SCP-AEK-2 instances. Site Director James sprays the SCP-AEK-2 instances causing them all to burp at the SCP-AEW instance instantly trapping it into a cocoon. the SCP-AEK instance quickly starts attacking the cocoon, the SCP-AEW instance inside is clearly trying but failing to break out. After about 1 minute the cocoon breaks but the SCP-AEW instance dies as a result of being beaten to death by the SCP-AEK-2 instances. Testing continues and the same result ends up happening for the other SCP-AEK 5–7-inch Beta instances.

End note: Let's try seeing if we can take this a step further.

Test 2.2: What happens when SCP-AEK instances drink something bitter. (SCP-AEK vs SCP-AAH-1)

Set up: Same as before except now there is a single small cage where an SCP-AAH-1 instance in inside. It takes the form of a rat corpse.

Results: The same ended up happening and the SCP-AEK-2 instances quickly went on to kill it. However as per standard of SCP-AAH-1 instances it didn't die easily as it was technically already dead. Eventually the SCP-AAH-1 instance shook off the SCP-AEK-2 instances, ready to eat them. It would have succeeded had the Security unit not started beating it to death with his hammer.

End note: Cool, so it even works on undead entities but let's keep going.

Test 2.3: What happens when SCP-AEK instances drink something bitter. (SCP-AEK vs SCP-AAK)

Set up: Now there are no staff within the testing chamber, instead the intercom on the ceiling of the room has been turned on so that Site Director James can give her orders. The SCP-AEK-2 instances are now on the floor with the five dishes filled with the bitter juice. On the other side is a large cage filled with 20 SCP-AAK instances.

Results: By remote control the SCP-AAK instances swarm out but immediately spot the SCP-AEK-2 instances and rush towards them to attack. On the Site Director's command, the SCP-AEK-2 instances drink the bitter juice and start burping the clouds of paralysis venom. 13 of the SCP-AAK instances get encased in the cocoons thanks to the paralysis venom. However, the other 7 start attacking the SCP-AEK-2 instances immediately. The SCP-AEK-2 instances however managed to swarm the SCP-AAK instances back and kill both the attacking and paralyzed ones. The SCP-AEK-2 instances then casually carry their corpses and feed it to the SCP-AEK-1 instances to recover their lost population and even grow it a little more.

End note: Chemically altered mutants as well, nice. Also not to sound like a dork, but that was awesome. It's kinda like one of those RTS computer games kids are playing a lot these days.

Test 2.4: What happens when SCP-AEK instances drink something bitter. (SCP-AEK vs SCP-AAT)

Set up: A single SCP-AAT instance is grabbed by a Foundation drone and put in a small metal cage. Afterwards the cage is placed in the testing chamber with the SCP-AEK-2 instances. Like before they are on the floor and given five bowls filled with the bitter juice.

Results: By remote control the SCP-AAT instance is released, it looks at the SCP-AEK-2 instance who all start shaking in fear at it. The SCP-AAT instance laughs and tries to pick them up and eat them. Site Director James quickly whistles the orders to the SCP-AEK-2 instances, and they drink the juice. Because of their overwhelming numbers, when they burped in the direction of the SCP-AAT instance it was covered in their burp clouds and quickly trapped in the cocoon like the other instances. The quickly climbed onto and covered the cocooned body and started smacking it with their leaves clearly causing great damage as the SCP-AAT instance was groaning inside. Then when the cocoon broke the SCP-AAT instance roared in anger as it shook off the SCP-AEK-2 instances. However, that was all the strength it had left as it quickly fell on its face and died. The SCP-AEK-2 instance tried to drag the corpse to the SCP-AEK-1 instances, but Site Director James ordered them to stop since no casualties among the SCP-AEK-2 instances occurred.

End note: The SCP-AEK-2 instances are a lot stronger than we realized. There's no way smacking a few hundred leaves onto the body of an SCP-AAT instance repeatedly will kill it. Yet we just saw that happen before our very eyes. Best not to underestimate these things in the future, or Site Director James since she controls them.

Test 3: What happens when SCP-AEK instances drink something spicy.

Set Up: The same three basic SCP-AEK-2 types are brought forward but now there's only one of each. They are given a single bowl filled pepper juice and various other spicy fruits.

Result: upon drinking the juice the SCP-AEK-2 instances leaves turn into glowing sparks and suddenly become super hyper. Site Director James orders the SCP-AEK-2 instances to attack the bowl and end up breaking it despite the fact that it's made of hard and stretchy plastic.

End notes: Holy shit, how about that, spicy juice is a steroid for them. maybe we can weaponize this as well.

Test 3: What happens when SCP-AEK instances drink something spicy. (SCP-AEK vs SCP-AEW)

Set Up: Now 20 of each SCP-AEK-2 is present with a large bowl of spicy juice. a single SCP-AEW 5–7-inch Beta is placed in a cage and in front of the SCP-AEK-2 instances. This particular SCP-AEW instance is a stronger and more aggressive breed as shown with its black skin with red spots and vicious eyes.

Result: The SCP-AEW instance is released form the cage by remote control, and it quickly charges as the SCP-AEK-2 instances. Site Director James gives the order to drink the juice and the SCP-AEK-2 instances get powered up. They quickly surrounded the SCP-AEW instance and start beating it with great force and power. The SCP-AEW instance despite being one of the stronger breeds ends up being so overwhelmed it is unable to resist and dies quickly.

End notes: Holy shit, how that's power. really hope Nancy doesn't do something stupid with this.

Test 4: What happens when SCP-AEK instances drink something sweet.

Set Up: The same three basic SCP-AEK-2 types are brought forward but now there's only one of each. They are given a single bowl of Mango juice mixed with the juice of other sweet fruit.

Result: Upon drinking the juice, the SCP-AEK-2-Α instance grows slightly larger and is visibly able to breath fire. The SCP-AEK-2-Β instance grows slightly larger suddenly jumps super high and is able to release sparks form its hands. SCP-AEK-2-Γ Instance grows slightly larger and suddenly starts flexing in an adorable way as fins are visible on its arms and it now possess an aquatic tail.

End notes: This was absolutely amazing, we wanted to test more but suddenly the O5 contact use and told us to stop the testing entirely. Damn faceless freaks. Well either way its settled, Site Director James and Dr. Wicked are even more dangerous now since they both possess SCP-AEK. Though I think Nancy might actually have him beat in strength this time considering her larger arsenal. Guess we'll just have to hope a reason for those two to fight never comes.

“GROOVY.” (2024 ed.) x

[markscherz]

A friend of mine sent me a yt video of a guy who was relocating frog eggs (prolly a vernal pool) and showed 1000s of baby frogs coming out of the water in his backyard. she asked me how I felt about it as a ecologist. I felt like it was irresponsible to do, especially to post videos on it, but probably not "ecological terrorism" like people in the comments were saying, because I see baby frogs in nature come out of water in hoards sometimes too. Kind of a mixed bag.

But I wanted to ask you, since you're a herpetologist and waaay more experienced than me: how do you feel about the yt channel "frog army YouTube"?

Many frogs and toads are classical R-strategists. Some toads can lay 20+ THOUSAND eggs in a single clutch. The whole point of that strategy is that not all of the offspring survive. In fact, it would be really rather bad if all of the offspring were to survive, because (1) they wouldn't be feeding the predators and decomposers that live off of their noble sacrifice, and (2) they will require massively more resources than they otherwise would. It can have all kinds of detrimental down-stream effects.

This is the reason we often see swarms of tadpoles darkening some small pools (especially ones where there are no fish!), and later hoards of froglets (that's the technical term) emerging from pools at once. It's an evolutionary strategy, that only few individuals survive to achieve reproductive age.

Point 1: it is *fine* if not all the tadpoles survive to adulthood. That's how the system is supposed to work. You are not doing the system favours if you are changing tadpole survivorship to 100%.

Now, humans really are fucking things up in a lot of environments. Environmental pollutants, like heavy metals, can cause major issues for wildlife, and especially frogs, which (1) are not as vagile as e.g. birds and medium- to large-sized mammals and thus cannot escape the problem zone effectively, and (2) are EXTRA sensitive to the environment because of their permeable skin.

Point 2: we do have some responsibility to do something if we notice that there is a major problem emerging, which could dramatically alter the population dynamics for one or more generations of frogs.

However, *moving* clutches of eggs that are found in polluted pools is not the right move, especially for your average person. There are many reasons that it is not the right move, but chief among them are

(1) A lot of frogs that lay eggs in vernal pools have tadpoles that cannot survive being in larger ponds, and certainly cannot survive in streams or other bodies of flowing water.

(2) A lot of frogs that lay their eggs in vernal pools are already adapted to less than ideal conditions, and have excellent strategies to overcome those conditions, such as incredibly quick metamorphosis (sometimes just a few days!)

(3) By moving clutches of eggs, you could easily be moving the pathogens or pollutants that are causing the problem in the first place.

(4) If there is Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis fungus around, you are spreading chytrid, and that is VERY bad. Chytridiomycosis has already driven several frog species to extinction, and caused massive population collapse in several others.

(5) If you do not know the species, attempts to rescue them might be aiding the advance of an invasive species.

(6) It's often illegal to intervene! Many species are protected by law, and you are not allowed to remove them from the wild. Consult your local laws.

Point 3: the responsibility to do something does not include removing the frogs and raising a frog army.

So what should we do if we find a clutch of eggs in an oily pool? Or in a nearly dried out puddle?

First assess the nature of the problem. Is the pool just about to dry out? Then leave it alone. The tadpoles will probably be fine (and if they're not, they'll provide rich nutrients to predators and decomposers). But are there signs of pollution? Then assess: is the pollution covering a larger area? Or is it localised? If you find dead frogs or other amphibians is a major warning sign, and it needs to be brought to the relevant authorities. Contact your local environmental agency/department, and notify them of the precise location of the problem, and its extent. Document everything with photos and videos.

Point 4: there are organisations and agencies specifically tasked with intervening in cases of environmental damage. It is *your* job to bring it to their attention, but unless instructed by them, you need not take any further action. It is their job to know what to do, and to take appropriate action.

TL;DR: 'Raising a frog army' is for the likes, not the frogs, and is not environmentally responsible or ethically defensible. Build a home for the frogs, and they will come.
