00:00:00.229 --> 00:00:06.260
The boy screams as his body transforms. His
bones warp and twist, as feathers emerge from

00:00:06.260 --> 00:00:12.820
his pores, and his skull sharpens into a long,
hard beak. He’s in a living nightmare - And

00:00:12.820 --> 00:00:18.109
who could have guessed it all started with
an innocent attempt to play hooky?

00:00:18.109 --> 00:00:22.490
It's an ordinary Monday morning, and all over
town, children are waking up and reluctantly

00:00:22.490 --> 00:00:26.900
dragging themselves out of bed for school.
Some are oversleeping, hitting the snooze

00:00:26.900 --> 00:00:31.000
on their alarms, and getting a bit of extra
shuteye before their exhausted parents notice,

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.270
wake them up, and rush to get them to school
before the first-morning bell.

00:00:35.270 --> 00:00:40.360
In one particular bedroom, a young boy is
awake but still in bed, brainstorming as fast

00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:45.710
as he can. He is determined to skip school
today, however he can. He usually doesn't

00:00:45.710 --> 00:00:50.789
mind school very much, but today all he can
think about is the math test he didn't study

00:00:50.789 --> 00:00:55.210
for, and the mean classmate who likes to knock
his books out of his hands. But he can't just

00:00:55.210 --> 00:00:59.250
ask to skip school for no reason! He has to
come up with a plan.

00:00:59.250 --> 00:01:03.480
He runs to the bathroom, splashing hot water
in his face to give him a flushed appearance

00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:08.850
and a warm forehead. Then, he hops back into
bed and begins to loudly cough and sniffle,

00:01:08.850 --> 00:01:12.780
until his mother comes to check on him. He
complains that he doesn't feel well enough

00:01:12.780 --> 00:01:17.430
to go to school, and sure enough, when his
mother feels his forehead, it is hot to the

00:01:17.430 --> 00:01:22.020
touch. She agrees to let him stay home from
school for the day, provided he stays in bed

00:01:22.020 --> 00:01:27.360
and gets plenty of rest. He promises that
he will, and she leaves to go to work.

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:30.840
On her way to work, the boy's mother remembers
that there isn't much for him to eat while

00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.799
he's home alone all day. At least, there isn't
much that he would want to eat while he's

00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.880
sick. She decides that she can be a little
bit late to work for the sake of her son's

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:43.790
health, and pulls into a nearby grocery store.
She rushes out of her car and into the store,

00:01:43.790 --> 00:01:48.110
making a beeline for the soup aisle. She reaches
for her usual go-to brand of chicken noodle

00:01:48.110 --> 00:01:53.540
soup, but finds the shelf completely bare.
That's right! It's flu season. Of course,

00:01:53.540 --> 00:01:54.540
the soup is sold out.

00:01:54.540 --> 00:01:55.540
She starts to reach for chicken and rice instead,
when she spots a colorful label on the top

00:01:55.540 --> 00:01:56.540
shelf, depicting a chicken, vegetables, and
noodles. She stands on her tiptoes, just barely

00:01:56.540 --> 00:01:57.540
reaching the lone can. It's not a brand she's
ever heard of before, not a label she's ever

00:01:57.540 --> 00:01:58.540
seen, but it's chicken noodle soup. There's
not really a way to get it wrong. She takes

00:01:58.540 --> 00:01:59.540
the can over to the self-checkout machine,
not wanting to waste time standing in line.

00:01:59.540 --> 00:02:00.540
She scans the barcode, and the machine's screen
suddenly freezes.

00:02:00.540 --> 00:02:01.540
Oh great, this is exactly what she needs.
A sick kid at home, one can of chicken noodle

00:02:01.540 --> 00:02:05.010
soup left at the store, and the machine won't
even scan it. She smacks the side of the machine

00:02:05.010 --> 00:02:10.750
in frustration, and the screen reads: Invalid
code, transaction canceled. With a heavy sigh,

00:02:10.750 --> 00:02:15.530
she glances over her shoulder. No one is watching.
She tried to pay for the can, to do the right

00:02:15.530 --> 00:02:19.700
thing. But the machine wouldn't let her. So,
she grabs the can and runs out of the store

00:02:19.700 --> 00:02:22.020
before anyone can spot her.

00:02:22.020 --> 00:02:25.480
While his mother is out, the boy is at home
raiding the pantry for snacks to sate his

00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:30.690
not-at-all-sick appetite. He fills up on oreos
and toaster pastries, cheesy crackers, and

00:02:30.690 --> 00:02:35.340
chips. When he hears his mother's car pulling
into the driveway, he quickly wipes the crumbs

00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:39.709
from his face and jumps back into bed, just
in time for his mother to find him there,

00:02:39.709 --> 00:02:43.950
resting like he promised he would. She gives
him a kiss on the forehead, and tells him

00:02:43.950 --> 00:02:47.270
that she will heat up some chicken noodle
soup for him to eat. She's in a hurry to make

00:02:47.270 --> 00:02:50.950
it to work, though, so she'll need to leave
it in the microwave for him.

00:02:50.950 --> 00:02:54.900
She pours the contents of the soup into a
bowl, adds a bit of water, and pops the bowl

00:02:54.900 --> 00:02:59.390
into the microwave for a few minutes. She
calls up to her son, letting him know that

00:02:59.390 --> 00:03:03.840
the soup will be ready when the microwave
dings. Then, she rushes out the door and heads

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:08.190
to work for the day, confident that her son
will be fine through her shift. If he happens

00:03:08.190 --> 00:03:11.250
to need anything, he can call her and let
her know.

00:03:11.250 --> 00:03:15.020
The boy hears the microwave ding, but his
stomach is too full from his rummage through

00:03:15.020 --> 00:03:20.160
the pantry for him to want any of the soup,
in spite of its heavenly aroma. Instead, he

00:03:20.160 --> 00:03:24.569
creeps into the living room and sits down
to play video games until his eyes start to

00:03:24.569 --> 00:03:28.950
hurt. As he boots up his gaming system, he
thinks for a moment that he can hear a strange

00:03:28.950 --> 00:03:34.250
noise coming from the kitchen, a soft clucking
sound like the chickens he saw on his grandparents'

00:03:34.250 --> 00:03:38.670
farm. But he quickly forgets about the sound
as the screen lights up, and he disappears

00:03:38.670 --> 00:03:41.200
into the world of his favorite game.

00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:45.340
He plays for hours, until the grumbling of
his stomach interrupts his concentration.

00:03:45.340 --> 00:03:50.709
He is suddenly very hungry, and remembers
the soup his mother left in the microwave!

00:03:50.709 --> 00:03:55.380
It is certainly cold and unappealing by now,
but he can just reheat it first! He punches

00:03:55.380 --> 00:04:00.440
the buttons on the microwave, and waits for
the soup to be ready. Again, he can hear strange

00:04:00.440 --> 00:04:05.310
noises coming from the microwave, but he doesn't
think anything of it. The microwave dings,

00:04:05.310 --> 00:04:09.829
and he pulls out the bowl of soup, grabs a
spoon, and digs in.

00:04:09.829 --> 00:04:14.069
A little while later, the boy's mother pulls
into the driveway in a panic. She left work

00:04:14.069 --> 00:04:18.730
early when her phone rang with a call from
her son. She answered, asking what was wrong,

00:04:18.730 --> 00:04:23.070
but he wouldn't answer her. All she could
hear on the other end was rustling, heavy

00:04:23.070 --> 00:04:25.180
breathing, and some pained grunting.

00:04:25.180 --> 00:04:30.009
Fearing the worst, she drove back as fast
as she could, running several red lights along

00:04:30.009 --> 00:04:34.130
the way. Now, she fumbles with her keys as
she unlocks the door, terrified of what she

00:04:34.130 --> 00:04:38.590
will find. She grips her phone in her other
hand, thumb hovering over the buttons, ready

00:04:38.590 --> 00:04:43.770
to dial 9-1-1 if the situation calls for it.
She pushes the front door open, calling her

00:04:43.770 --> 00:04:49.670
son's name. He doesn't answer, and her stomach
drops. Suddenly, she hears the loud THUD of

00:04:49.670 --> 00:04:54.020
something heavy being knocked to the ground.
Something is terribly wrong here, and even

00:04:54.020 --> 00:04:58.750
though she might find her worst nightmare,
she has to face whatever is waiting for her

00:04:58.750 --> 00:04:59.750
inside.

00:04:59.750 --> 00:05:03.500
She runs into the kitchen, and finds it a
mess. The bowl of soup is shattered on the

00:05:03.500 --> 00:05:08.790
floor, congealed, cold soup pooling on the
tile. The kitchen table is turned over on

00:05:08.790 --> 00:05:14.910
its side, the kitchen chairs are in disarray.
But the strangest sight is the dozens of tiny,

00:05:14.910 --> 00:05:20.250
white, fluffy things on the floor, counters,
and furniture. She picks one up for a closer

00:05:20.250 --> 00:05:27.500
look, and finds herself even more confused
than before. It's a feather. They're all feathers.

00:05:27.500 --> 00:05:32.420
She calls her son's name again, praying for
a response. This time, she receives one, though

00:05:32.420 --> 00:05:37.370
not the one she hopes for. She hears the sound
of shuffling footsteps up above, followed

00:05:37.370 --> 00:05:42.060
by a strangled sound like a scream caught
in someone's throat. She sprints up the stairs

00:05:42.060 --> 00:05:47.310
as fast as her legs can carry her, throwing
open the door to her son's bedroom. There,

00:05:47.310 --> 00:05:52.670
she finds him. But this is not the bright-eyed
boy that she left behind when she left for

00:05:52.670 --> 00:05:53.670
work.

00:05:53.670 --> 00:05:57.009
His arms are covered with a thick layer of
white feathers, the same feathers that are

00:05:57.009 --> 00:06:01.760
beginning to poke through the skin of his
face. The top of his head has elongated into

00:06:01.760 --> 00:06:06.810
a floppy comb of excess skin, the same sort
of excess skin that is wobbling below his

00:06:06.810 --> 00:06:12.260
chin. And his mouth...it doesn't look like
a mouth anymore. It's pointed, and hard, and

00:06:12.260 --> 00:06:19.199
his lips click together when he speaks, or
rather, clucks. His bare feet are scaly and

00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:23.759
red, with claws protruding from his toes.
He flaps his wings frantically, eyes wide

00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:29.180
and wild, clucking and running back and forth
across the room. When he looks at her, she

00:06:29.180 --> 00:06:36.270
does not see recognition in his gaze. Her
son, her beloved boy, has turned into a chicken.

00:06:36.270 --> 00:06:40.419
Unable to do anything else, the mother calls
an ambulance. At first, the paramedics that

00:06:40.419 --> 00:06:44.479
arrive on the scene think the call was some
sort of elaborate prank, but when they set

00:06:44.479 --> 00:06:49.770
eyes on the boy, they agree that something
truly bizarre is going on. They speed to the

00:06:49.770 --> 00:06:55.169
hospital with the chicken boy in tow, but
sadly are unable to save his life. The mother

00:06:55.169 --> 00:07:00.120
turns over the can of mysterious soup to the
authorities, who launch a formal investigation.

00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:04.870
Unfortunately, they are unable to trace the
can to any store, nor are they able to verify

00:07:04.870 --> 00:07:09.680
the existence of the company name on its label.
Employees of the grocery store where she found

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.590
the can insist that they have never seen it
in their lives.

00:07:13.590 --> 00:07:17.590
Several weeks after this incident occurred,
the SCP Foundation conducted a raid on a New

00:07:17.590 --> 00:07:23.020
York office of Marshall, Carter, and Dark.
For those of you unfamiliar with the organization,

00:07:23.020 --> 00:07:28.160
and that is most of the general population
by design, Marshall, Carter, and Dark, Ltd.

00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:33.889
is an extremely powerful multinational corporation
founded by three individuals with those surnames,

00:07:33.889 --> 00:07:39.620
specializing in the acquisition and sale of
anomalous items, entities, and experiences.

00:07:39.620 --> 00:07:44.590
To put it simply, they run the largest anomalous
black market in the world, and are the crime

00:07:44.590 --> 00:07:46.750
bosses of the paranormal world.

00:07:46.750 --> 00:07:52.050
During this particular raid, SCP Foundation
operatives recovered seventeen different unusual

00:07:52.050 --> 00:07:56.659
items. Among the items discovered was a shipping
crate, recently delivered by the Federal Postal

00:07:56.659 --> 00:08:01.900
Service from an invalid return address. This
crate contained one hundred and three cans

00:08:01.900 --> 00:08:07.220
of SCP-2057, as well as a copy of a letter
written to one of the company's associates.

00:08:07.220 --> 00:08:12.980
So far, the letter has not been traced to
an address. It reads:

00:08:12.980 --> 00:08:14.520
"Dear Cyrus,

00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:18.940
Maria has told me of the unfortunate circumstances
that have befallen your children. I had hoped

00:08:18.940 --> 00:08:23.629
to hear about the improvement of their conditions
soon. As their godfather, I am extremely distressed

00:08:23.629 --> 00:08:28.910
to hear this. Having experienced a child suffering
from the measles myself, I know how terrifying

00:08:28.910 --> 00:08:33.450
it can be when it seems as if they are getting
worse. Recently, we received a shipment of

00:08:33.450 --> 00:08:36.000
something that I hope can help your family.

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:40.810
There is a crate in the storage area marked
with 'Wondertainment - Discontinued Item.'

00:08:40.810 --> 00:08:45.290
It will not be there long, as it goes to auction
next week. I will leave a key under the photo

00:08:45.290 --> 00:08:51.360
of your family on your desk. Follow the instructions
exactly. Do not, under any circumstances,

00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:55.740
do anything different than what is directed
on the can. Destroy this message as soon as

00:08:55.740 --> 00:08:59.420
possible. I do not want any of this to come
back on us.

00:08:59.420 --> 00:09:01.430
Be careful, my friend.

00:09:01.430 --> 00:09:02.790
~Williams"

00:09:02.790 --> 00:09:09.899
SCP-2057 consists of ninety-two 318 ml cans
of condensed chicken noodle soup. Each can

00:09:09.899 --> 00:09:14.800
is covered with a brightly-colored label depicting
images of noodles, a cartoon chicken, and

00:09:14.800 --> 00:09:20.380
dancing vegetables. In addition to this inviting
imagery, each label is emblazoned with the

00:09:20.380 --> 00:09:26.300
text: "Dr. Wondertainment's Ultralicious Chicken
Noodle Soup For Kids!" Each can has a pull-top

00:09:26.300 --> 00:09:31.240
lid for easy opening, and is printed with
a set of nutrition facts, ingredients, and

00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:32.380
instructions for heating.

00:09:32.380 --> 00:09:42.410
The Nutrition Facts are as follows: Calories,
95, Fat, 3.17g, Carbohydrates, 2.2g, Protein,

00:09:42.410 --> 00:09:51.120
13.48g, Vitamin W, 2.00g, and Mother's Love,
10.00g. The SCP Foundation attempted to analyze

00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:55.810
the contents of the soup in order to compare
it to the posted nutrition facts. The Calories,

00:09:55.810 --> 00:10:01.350
Fat, Carbohydrates, and Protein were found
to be accurately reported. Vitamin W was present

00:10:01.350 --> 00:10:05.810
in the reported amount as well, though it
was not a compound that the Foundation scientists

00:10:05.810 --> 00:10:11.430
had ever encountered before. Mother's Love,
as it is an intangible concept, was not able

00:10:11.430 --> 00:10:15.329
to be identified or measured in the analyzed
soup samples.

00:10:15.329 --> 00:10:20.860
The Ingredients are listed as: "Ultralicious™
chicken stock, enriched Chinese egg noodles,

00:10:20.860 --> 00:10:26.380
finest cooked chicken breast, "farm fresh
carrots, crispy-crunchy celery, sweet Vidalia

00:10:26.380 --> 00:10:32.410
onions, no paint thinner, fresh mountain spring
water, Vitamin W™. Contains less than 2%

00:10:32.410 --> 00:10:37.329
of the following ingredients: a pinch of salt,
a smidgen of chicken fat, sprinkle of spice

00:10:37.329 --> 00:10:42.010
extracted from rare plants, a dash of high-quality
unicorn tears."

00:10:42.010 --> 00:10:47.750
The Instructions for Heating read: "Hey, Kids!
Feeling sick, icky, or downright yucky? Just

00:10:47.750 --> 00:10:52.790
pop open a can of Dr Wondertainment's Ultralicious™
Chicken Noodle Soup For Kids™! Place contents

00:10:52.790 --> 00:10:58.180
of the can in a medium sized soup pot, add
a can of water, stir, and heat! Watch as the

00:10:58.180 --> 00:11:03.170
fun begins! Eat hearty, and you'll feel better
and ready to play with Dr Wondertainment toys

00:11:03.170 --> 00:11:04.170
in no time!"

00:11:04.170 --> 00:11:09.020
All of this is relatively straightforward,
give or take a few unusual ingredients. Someone

00:11:09.020 --> 00:11:13.110
taking only a quick look might mistake a can
of this soup for any other chicken noodle

00:11:13.110 --> 00:11:18.910
soup. However, it does have something that
most ordinary canned soup does not: a warning

00:11:18.910 --> 00:11:19.959
label.

00:11:19.959 --> 00:11:24.070
"Dr Wondertainment's Ultralicious™ Chicken

has become cold. Do not reheat. By purchasing

incurred by your product. Thank you for purchasing

00:11:44.620 --> 00:11:50.279
So, what exactly is in a can of Dr. Wondertainment's
Ultralicious Chicken Noodle Soup for Kids?

00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.700
Well, when the SCP Foundation first opened
a can to take a look, they found that it was

00:11:54.700 --> 00:11:59.011
filled with condensed chicken broth, and a
mass of egg noodles shaped like an egg. When

00:11:59.011 --> 00:12:03.019
water was added, and the contents of the can
were heated to a temperature of 70 degrees

00:12:03.019 --> 00:12:09.040
Celsius, the noodle-based egg hatched. Inside
was a small domesticated chicken made up of

00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:13.300
egg noodles, carrot, celery, onion, and cooked
chicken breast.

00:12:13.300 --> 00:12:20.310
For simplicity's sake, this chicken noodle
soup chicken is referred to as SCP-2057-1.

00:12:20.310 --> 00:12:26.440
As the Foundation researchers continued to
heat the broth to a higher temperature, SCP-2057-1

00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:32.010
began to move around, make audible chirping
sounds, and eat the broth. As it ate, it grew

00:12:32.010 --> 00:12:38.840
larger and larger until it reached a mass
of 85g, and resembled a miniature adult chicken.

00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:46.160
At a temperature between 35 and 70 degrees
C, SCP-2057-1 behaved much like an ordinary

00:12:46.160 --> 00:12:51.060
chicken. It continued to behave normally even
as it was consumed or cut apart, apparently

00:12:51.060 --> 00:12:57.800
feeling no pain or awareness of its situation.
Dissection of SCP-2057-1 revealed that its

00:12:57.800 --> 00:13:02.510
insides were made up of soup ingredients,
including celery and onion bones, cooked chicken

00:13:02.510 --> 00:13:07.070
breast muscles, carrot beak and legs, and
chicken broth blood.

00:13:07.070 --> 00:13:13.440
When SCP-2057-1's temperature dropped below
35 degrees C, it stopped moving and collapsed

00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:20.360
into the soup. At a temperature below 20 degrees
C, it became congealed and unappetizing. With

00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.510
these observations completed, the Foundation
then attempted to measure the effects of this

00:13:24.510 --> 00:13:28.459
unusual chicken soup on a person that ingested
it.

00:13:28.459 --> 00:13:33.070
When test subjects were fed samples of the
soup at a temperature between 35 and 70 degrees

00:13:33.070 --> 00:13:38.200
C, they had a very positive experience. The
soup's taste was described as "excellent,"

00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:42.769
"delicious," and "homey." Though the meal
caused a bit of psychological distress due

00:13:42.769 --> 00:13:47.110
to the soup chicken's realistic appearance
and behavior, it improved every test subject's

00:13:47.110 --> 00:13:52.000
physical well-being. This especially applied
to test subjects with a case of influenza,

00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:58.850
measles, or the common cold. Following consumption
of SCP-2057, each subject with a diagnosed

00:13:58.850 --> 00:14:03.690
illness of this kind reported immediate relief
from their symptoms, including fever, aches

00:14:03.690 --> 00:14:06.650
and pains, cough, and congestion.

00:14:06.650 --> 00:14:11.870
With this positive (if a bit disturbing) effect
documented, the Foundation next set out to

00:14:11.870 --> 00:14:16.931
determine what would happen if they let the
soup get cold before it was eaten. Test subjects

00:14:16.931 --> 00:14:20.950
served this version of the soup had a far
worse experience, describing the taste of

00:14:20.950 --> 00:14:27.940
their meal as "bland," "disgusting," and "repulsive."
67% of the test subjects experienced cramps,

00:14:27.940 --> 00:14:33.600
chills, and diarrhea following their consumption
of the soup, and 62% found themselves making

00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:39.260
involuntary clucking noises, as well as experiencing
a strong aversion to poultry products.

00:14:39.260 --> 00:14:43.560
Again, several test subjects were deliberately
selected based on their cases of influenza,

00:14:43.560 --> 00:14:48.699
measles, and the common cold. These test subjects
immediately began to develop troubling symptoms

00:14:48.699 --> 00:14:52.860
including the growth of pin feathers on their
forearms, loosened excess skin on their heads

00:14:52.860 --> 00:14:58.079
and under their chins, a change in their ability
to walk normally, and distressing hallucinations

00:14:58.079 --> 00:15:01.830
of being hung upside-down by the ankles.

00:15:01.830 --> 00:15:05.800
Following these two rounds of testing, the
research team decided to see why exactly the

00:15:05.800 --> 00:15:12.100
warning label advised against reheating the
soup. D-Class 45782 was selected as the test

00:15:12.100 --> 00:15:16.060
subject for this particular experiment, and
was instructed to reheat a bowl of cooled

00:15:16.060 --> 00:15:22.339
SCP-2057-1 in a microwave on high for two
minutes and thirty seconds. Then, he was to

00:15:22.339 --> 00:15:27.790
consume the reheated soup and report his experience
to a camera placed in the room with him. As

00:15:27.790 --> 00:15:33.959
instructed, D-45782 microwaved the bowl of
soup. As it heated in the microwave, it emitted

00:15:33.959 --> 00:15:37.630
unintelligible vocalizations in a deep voice.

00:15:37.630 --> 00:15:43.019
After removing the bowl from the microwave,
D-45782 noted that it was gelatinous-looking,

00:15:43.019 --> 00:15:47.630
with blackened burnt bits around the edges.
He took three bites of the disgusting, hot-and-cold,

00:15:47.630 --> 00:15:52.340
at the same time mixture before spitting it
out onto the floor and refusing to eat another

00:15:52.340 --> 00:15:59.440
bite. Fifteen minutes after tasting the reheated
soup, D-45872 began to exhibit significant

00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:05.889
distress, clucking angrily into the camera.
Five minutes later, D-45872 became more difficult

00:16:05.889 --> 00:16:10.840
to understand, clucks and other chicken-like
vocalizations making up most of his attempted

00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:11.840
speech.

00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:16.139
He began scratching vigorously at his arms
to the point of drawing blood. Loose skin

00:16:16.139 --> 00:16:20.709
could be seen gathering on the top of his
head and under his neck. Six minutes later,

00:16:20.709 --> 00:16:27.040
D-45872 had lost the ability to speak. Large
white pin feathers had sprouted from his arms,

00:16:27.040 --> 00:16:31.430
covering the skin, and smaller white feathers
were beginning to sprout from his face.

00:16:31.430 --> 00:16:37.389
After sixteen more minutes passed, D-45872
began attacking other objects in the room,

00:16:37.389 --> 00:16:40.980
attempting to destroy the microwave, knocking
the bowl of soup to the floor, and flipping

00:16:40.980 --> 00:16:46.779
over a table and chair. He had grown feathers
over 67% of his skin, and his face had begun

00:16:46.779 --> 00:16:52.170
to change drastically. His nasal area was
elongated and hardened, joining with his lower

00:16:52.170 --> 00:16:57.850
jaw in an appendage resembling a bird's beak.
His upper lip had disappeared into his nasal

00:16:57.850 --> 00:17:05.220
cavity. Only five minutes later, D-45872 suddenly
stopped moving, and collapsed to the floor.

00:17:05.220 --> 00:17:06.500
Dead.

00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:11.829
Following D-45872's death, an autopsy was
performed. These were the findings:

00:17:11.829 --> 00:17:17.240
"Autopsy revealed D-45782's cause of death
was due to extreme and sudden physical change

00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:22.809
of internal organs, resulting in shock and
cardiac arrest. 93% of the subject's skin

00:17:22.809 --> 00:17:27.470
was covered in feathers. Physical changes
in the face resulted in a beak-like alteration

00:17:27.470 --> 00:17:31.850
of the nose and mouth. Loose skin under the
neck and on the top of the head resemble a

00:17:31.850 --> 00:17:37.460
wattle and comb. Subject's lower legs were
found to be covered in thick, scaly skin with

00:17:37.460 --> 00:17:42.740
the toes of the subject's feet ending in small
rounded claws. The subject and instance of

00:17:42.740 --> 00:17:48.419
SCP-2057-1 were incinerated after testing
and autopsy."

00:17:48.419 --> 00:17:54.789
Whenever not being used for approved experimentation,
all cans of SCP-2057 must be stored in a standard

00:17:54.789 --> 00:18:00.110
large-volume storage locker in Containment
Area-27, and kept at a temperature of 25 degrees

00:18:00.110 --> 00:18:06.520
Celsius. Because SCP-2057 is in limited supply,
all experiments must first be approved by

00:18:06.520 --> 00:18:12.470
at least two personnel with 2-1103 clearance,
as well as receiving the go-ahead from Dr.

00:18:12.470 --> 00:18:13.470
Applegate.

00:18:13.470 --> 00:18:18.400
There are still forty-one cans of Dr. Wondertainment's
Chicken Soup unaccounted for, and the Foundation

00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:23.580
has been unable to track them down so far.
Who knows where they ended up? Maybe at another

00:18:23.580 --> 00:18:29.210
office of Marshall, Carter, and Dark. Or maybe,
just maybe, one made its way onto the shelves

00:18:29.210 --> 00:18:34.780
at your local grocery store. Best to be careful
out there. When you're feeling sick, hungry,

00:18:34.780 --> 00:18:38.600
or in need of a little pick-me-up, there's
nothing quite like a steaming hot bowl of

00:18:38.600 --> 00:18:42.960
chicken noodle soup. Just make sure to read
the label carefully, and always follow the

00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:47.520
printed instructions. If you decide to ignore
them, you might just find that your chickens

00:18:47.520 --> 00:18:53.100
have come home to roost. After all, as the
saying goes, you are what you eat.
