SCP-131

SCP-131, also known as "The Eye Pods", are characters in the SCP Foundation mythos. They are two friendly, Safe-class creatures currently contained by the Foundation in Site-19 where they keep company to various personnel and even help them when dealing with some hostile anomalies.
==History==
===Possible Origin===
====A Chance at Freedom====
Both SCP-131-A and SCP-131-B were members of an advanced alien civilization from another universe or dimension. One had been an expert cadet while the other had just finished the academy and both were chosen for a mission to a dimension. However, upon arriving to the dimension, they were left stranded and lost all of their weaponry. The cadet tried to send a mayday to their base, but apparently didn't reach them, and after some time they were both captured by the SCP Foundation. The duo would try to escape the Foundation, whom they saw as primitive bipedal creatures, while on the other hand the personnel grew attached to them.
===Foundation custody===
While under Foundation custody, the personnel would hang around and often play with both SCP-131-A and SCP-131-B. During a containment breach, one instance of SCP-131 ran into SCP-173, using its inability to blink to stop the sculpture from moving and killing any other person. Thanks to this, the personnel were able to safely recontain 173, and after discovering the usefulness of SCP-131 thought of using them to also help contain SCP-689.
As personnel became very fond of SCP-6369-A, a group of intelligent rats that help people find their lost objects, Site-17 Director Sophia Light decided to form a short informational film for the personnel to learn more about the benevolent anomaly and so attached specialized cameras to SCP-131 and had them record the rats as they helped the personnel. Both 131-A and 131-B assisted various 6369-A instances in returning several lost objects to Foundation personnel which included Res. Rose Labelle, SCP-4966, Res. Dean Harle, Dr. Ali Mustafa Kamelov, Dr. Yossi Leiner and Dir. Calvin Bold. However, when meeting Bold a containment breach ensued resulting in 131's camera breaking, leaving the personnel to form the film with what they had.
===Possible Endings===
====SCP-6776====
One day, a hiveminded plant anomaly breached containment and began growing all over Site-19, taking over the entire site and trapping all of the contained anomalies inside, which included SCP-131, while the personnel fled and abandoned the site. Following this, the plants, later designated SCP-6776-A began to properly contain Site-19's anomalies in a better way than the Foundation, with some of the benevolent anomalies like 131 finding peace and becoming happy inside the new state of the site. When STF Epsilon-55 went inside the site to see what was going on inside, they encountered SCP-131-B which they nuzzled before parting ways.
====SCP-6314====
Following the Broken Masquerade scenario that happened as a result of SCP-2217, SCP-131 had both perished under unknown circumstances. The Foundation proceeded to reverse-engineer their remains, creating the EyePods which were smaller than SCP-131, colored gray, non-sentient and programmed to follow and record Foundation personnel for record-keeping.
==Appearance==
SCP-131 consists of the SCP-131-A and SCP-131-B, which appear to be two creatures which mainly look like a tear-drop. Both of which have a big eyeball in the middle of their bodies, while they appear to be small. SCP-131-A is colored orange, while the SCP-131-B is colored yellow.
== Behavior and Procedure ==
The two can roll the facility any time they want, checking the personnel and other Safe friendly SCPs. The two can move extremely quickly and climb. Their intelligence capabilities are considered to be very similar to a house cat. They also appear to be able to communicate together by various babbling-sounds, and they can also feel if someone is in danger. If so, they would swarm around the victim's feet, making various tones to warn them of dangers that could occur. They've mainly done this act when personnel is testing Euclid or Keter SCPs.
==Other Media==
===Unity Remake===
SCP-131-A and SCP-131-B appear in the Unity Remake of SCP: Containment Breach. They can be found inside their chamber where the player could free them using a keycard. After being freed they would start wandering around the Light Containment Zone or doing some tasks. It the player clicks on one of them it will star following the player. The player can dismiss SCP-131 by holding G. If the player encounters SCP-173-U while accompanied by one of SCP-131, 131 will stop following the player and start looking at SCP-173-U, allowing the player to freely roam the zone around 173 without being attacked. When the player leaves the zone, both SCPs will relocate to different zones.
=== Confinement ===
Although both SCP-131 have not made an official appearance in the YouTube series, Dr. Natalie Powers is seen in Episode 4, wearing a t-shirt which depicted a blue instance of SCP-131.
===Iris Through the Looking-Glass===
SCP-131 appear in the light novel Iris Through the Looking Glass. They are one of many SCPs encountered by SCP-105-C.
===In Online Series===
====SCP: Sedition====
In an experimental video that focuses on the use of SCP-978 (known as "The Desire Camera"). An employee by the name of Isaac "Watch" Watchthorne uses the anomalous camera to photograph many SCPs to learn their desires. He approaches both instances of SCP-131, which seem to show joy in having their picture taken. Once Watch takes their picture, the photograph shows the instances with even more instances of the same species, hinting that there are (or were) more of them in existence.

==Trivia==
* In the original photography of the creatures, it appears that there's a third member of the Eye Pods, which looks exactly like the two, except this one is colored blue. Though in the official story it isn't spoken about at all, some people claim that the third one can be considered as SCP-131-C.
* They are based off of Japanese medical robots called "Muu".
*Since they don't blink, they are used to contain SCP-173 during maintenance.
* In "Rebar Nightmares" there are shown to be more instances of 131 living in the site, each with a different color.
* In "Fragments" there was a idea for a tale in which Lord Blackwood would travel Africa in search for the Eye-Pods.
* When D-77544 looked to SCP-131 through some glasses which let their wearer know how much costs the objects the wearer sees, he said that 131 cost two unknown currency.
* In "Sparkle Spectacular", Agent DeLaurier accidentally smashes an instance of 131, but is not alarmed by this action since they are able to make a clone of it.
