"I have something to show you." Cadance said. "SCP-178. It's pretty disturbing."

"More disturbing than 008?" Twilight asked.

"You could say that."

They went to the Light Containment Zone. After going through a few intersections, they came to a room, with a sign on it labeled


SCP-178


Object Class: Euclid


Cognitohazard


Beside the info, a picture of some old-fashioned 3-D glasses was shown. "I'll need some Class-D's. Wait for me here. But whatever you do, do not, I repeat, DO NOT put the glasses on." she ordered.

"Alright..." Twilight said with a wary look.

She went in the observatory room. The 3-D specs sat at the end of the big empty room, on a wooden column.
What's so weird about this? Twilight thought.

Cadance entered the observatory room. Shortly after, a female changeling with a left eye the colour of red and the right eye the colour green, and a male pony with a grey coat and black mane. He had a tattoo of black fire tracing from his hair line down to his chin on the left side. Twilight grimaced.

"I'll take notes. You can tell them what to do." Cadance told her.

"Hmm..." Twilight picked up the intercom.

"Subject...?" Twilight asked Cadance.

"D-7906 and D-1325." Cadance said without looking up.

"Right. Subject D-1325, please put the glasses on." she told the Class-D.

The colt scoffed. "Seriously? This is ████████."

"Please, put the glasses on." Twilight said, with a hint of anger in her voice due to the foul language emitted from the colt.

"No way. This is just some stupid social experiment."

"Sir, please. This is important."

"Screw you."

Twilight slammed her hoof on the table, almost knocking the intercom over.

"Put the glasses on or you will be terminated!" Twilight yelled into the intercom. D-1325 and D-7096 covered his ears.

"Come on man, just do what the crazy mare says." D-7096 told D-1325.

"Ugh. Fine. But this is the worst thing the government has ever done to me."

He went to the column and put the glasses on. He looked to the right, towards the observatory room.

His eyes went as wide as pizzas. 

"Holy ████! Jesus! What is that thing!? Oh god, it's right behind you!" he yelled.

D-7096 looked behind her in confusion. "Dude? There's nothing here."

"What the hell are you talking about? It's ███████ disgusting! How do you not see it?"

"Look man, you're tripping. I don't know what you see, but I don't see it."

"What do you see?" Twilight asked the colt.

"It's...it's hideous doc. Too many eyes, and....it's just ugly."

"Alright. Take the glasses off."

D-1325 took off the glasses. He blinked a couple times and rubbed his eyes. And then put it back on the table.

"D-7096, now put the glasses on."

The changeling put the glasses on, but with hesitation. She looked towards the observation window.

"Oh. Oh my god! Son of a-" D-7096 jumped back and fell backwards, hitting her back against the wall.

"Same thing?" Twilight asked.

"Y-yeah. B-but it's...it's..." The changeling stuttered.

"It's what?" Twilight asked as the colt stared at the changeling.

The Changeling gulped and said:

"It's behind you."
