Security Chief Franklin can be seen warning Agent Ulgrin about SCP-173 being behind him. Once the containment breach has started, SCP-173 first appears in the office connected to its containment area. However, during the testing, the site undergoes a power failure, allowing SCP-173 to kill the two class-Ds and a guard before escaping into the ventilation system. At the start of the game, D-9341 is taken from his cell along with two other class-Ds to perform testing on SCP-173. SCP-173 is the first SCP object that the player encounters.
SCP-173 is, however, incapable of moving when it is in direct line of sight of a person. It is capable of moving at high speeds and will kill by either snapping at the base of the skull or strangulation.
SCP-173 is a sculpture constructed out of concrete. SCP-173, also known as 'The Sculpture', is the main antagonist of SCP - Containment Breach.
