For the writing event I was given the prompt: "Scootaloo has no parents because she's actually a magical construct designed to behave like a normal pony. She's either been lost or is being 'field tested', and her true nature is revealed when a passphrase is spoken in her presence. The precise nature of her purpose, the reveal, and the repercussions of this are up to you."
(Keep in mind that I only stuck to the vaguest idea of this prompt and that the true nature of Scootaloo as SCP-7909 cannot in any way be determined based on the prompt.)
At first I was going to totally parody the prompt and turn it into some sort of weird crossover involving the Iron Giant, starring Colt Horsely, who works for the government. Inspiration about giant attack robot Scootaloo never struck me though.
Then I randomly came across the SCP Foundation again this week. If you're not familiar, it's a wiki run by creative folks who write fake containment procedures for fictional dangerous supernatural phenomenon, usually erring on the side of creepy and psychological/body horror. So yeah, I was inspired, and after a bunch of research on SCP writing this monstrosity popped out.
2418236 Considering that Gizmoduck never did anything resembling what 7909aloo does, no, not quite. But I couldn't get it out of my head to include that little reference... Good catch!
All aspects of the alternate personality incident indicate a Keter classification to be more appropriate. 7909-2 is highly inimical to sentient life, and by all accounts impossible to contain while it is active, so it fits Keter like a glove.
5666359 SCP is a branching off of Creepy-Pasta. This story is Typical of an SCP file, a fictional file about an amomilus item, being or phenomena. The SCP wiki has tons of entries from the horrifying to the hilarious and SCP readings are relative popular on YouTube. Lastly there is an Indy FPS style game, SCP Containment Breach where the player takes the role of an SCP agent during a containment failure. You get to play around with SCP objects while avoiding or defeating SCP monsters.

Cups, I love you and I feel you wrote this just for me. <3
I can say a few more things about the article itself, which I shall leave for further review. Hang tight!
For essentially being a corny pun, this was rather good.
I still believe in ya, Scoots...

This was fucking brilliant. Ten outta Ten, coming from someone terrified of the SCP foundation.
This was brilliant! Do more of them!
Errmahgerz, Scoots a mernster!
Ha. I don't know what SCP is, but I get the gist from this story. Also, rarely do I read something that reminds me of Duck Tales. That takes me back.
