None too shabby. I like it.

Also, am I the only one that got an ad for curing eye floaters?

That's awesome XD

I like this one.
It seems that perhaps this should be listed as 'Safe' instead of 'Euclid'. since it can be easily contained.

I also wonder about it being described as having a certain level of sentience and even sapience.

It will also "flee" from perceived threats, even complex ones expressed by speech, demonstrating an understanding of human communication.

This feels tacked on. Overall, its behavior is exhibited by roaches and other simple organisms. Perhaps a description of advanced cognitive behavior would fix this.

There are also some minor grammar and tone issues that could easily be remedied.

When observed in ultraviolet, however, [DATA EXPUNGED] up to and including [DATA EXPUNGED].

really? amazing!

The best part was when [REDACTED] directly into the [DATA EXPUNGED], which of course caused the entire thing to get filled with [DATA EXPUNGED], right to the brim! It was nasty!

This one seems unnecessarily wordy. I feel like it could be condensed quite a bit without losing much. Just my opinion though. No vote.

…

Did we just contain Leliel's kid brother or something? +1

I always loved this one.

For starters, the containment procedures are creative, thorough, and reasonable. The description is clear and explains everything that needs to be explained. The concept itself is unsettling and evokes very interesting imagery. This is one of the SCPs that got me hooked on the site.

That said, there are a few issues that make my upvote more hesitant than it could be:

• Use of "the SCP" once.
• Lots and lots of scare quotes (ten total, nine of which I would not use).
• Weird expungement of ultraviolet effects, although that doesn't bother me TOO much. (On that topic, it seems to me that something to do with its ultraviolet appearance or X-ray emission could be the cause of the apoptosis.)
• Unnecessary incident log at the bottom.

If these were addressed, this would be among the SCPs I might show to people to introduce them to the site.

Hmmm…this does seem a little mediocre, I must say. The wording feels kind of clunky in places. An interesting concept, although mirror-related stories are a bit overdone. It's not terrible, though.

I enjoyed this. Nice job OP.

(Also, did you make it look like a black circle thing just to put the idea in our heads that our pupils are actually SCP-125?)

+1.
