I'll freely admit that I don't quite get it. What was the creature in the back? I'm guessing that The Doctor was supposed to be Clef based on the idiosyncrasy of the musical instrument (albeit a banjo rather than a ukelele).

I'm almost entirely certain that it was 173.

"There was a subtle snapping, and the man collapsed."

It sounds like a broken neck; I'd say it was SCP-173 as well.

Sorry for pointing this out so late, but there is a bit on incorrect terminlogy in correlation with the picture. the first paragraph stated that the bridge had collapsed on the stern, or back end, of the ship, yet the stern is clearly the one sticking out of the water, as you can tell by the shape, and the propeller near the bottom, in the rudder. The front of the ship would be called the Bow. I have't the chance to fully read it, but I am excited to do so.

Well, read the story now, and enjoyed it. It really kind of brings to light the power of 173's abilities. Even when faced with a crowd, 173 can be quite dangerous, since due to people's natural response to panic, when danger is unknown, there would be a lot of blinking and turning of heads, so that 173 could get a few snaps in, and that would only breed further panic.

Also, even though I pointed out the inconsistancy with the picture, I see that it is for story purposes now, as the bow of the ship needed to be out, so that the gun can be used as a plot device.
