* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/dyfscp0012 Dafydd Utica Foolfellow's Proposal]] consists of seven articles that have all at one point described SCP-001, color-coded for convenience. Together, they weave one massive, ''horrifying'' tale of an alternate humanity's downfall.
** SCP-001-[[red:RED]] is the first and also the most innocent of these articles, describing a sentient AI-art program named PALLIT.AIC, created by [=TotleighSoft=] and sent to the Foundation for discipline after she refused to make art like her "father" wanted. PALLIT is a bit bratty, but overall friendly... if it weren't for her very enthusiastic and creepy obsession with humans, begging Dr. Key to let her kiss his varicose veins and only calming down from a temper tantrum when he repeatedly scans his fingerprint on a biometric scanner.
** SCP-001-[[cinnamon:ORANGE]] is where things get ''extremely'' bad -- it describes an Apollyon-class event where extremely powerful, reality-warping aliens (who, through faulty translation software, refer to themselves as [WEASELS?!]) landed on Earth, instantly translocated all human cities with their inhabitants to the South Pole, liquefied almost 7 billion people in the process, and began terraforming the entire planet. Humanity attempted to fight back, but the [WEASELS?!] themselves (giant hermit crab-esque creatures with gardens on their backs) are close to invincible, and when the Global Occult Coalition decided to launch a nuclear ICBM at one of their main colonies, the [WEASELS?!] respond by ''kidnapping Earth itself'', shunting it into their own solar system and continuing their gardening.
** SCP-001-[[gold:YELLOW]] is a massive cryo-storage facility in a pocket dimension where the last survivors of humanity are kept until it's safe to return to Earth. A skeleton crew is kept awake to take care of the sleepers in the meantime, cloning themselves every 55 years to keep up the population. Things almost immediately go wrong when it turns out that this specific pocket dimension has some minor glitches where certain basic elements and compounds get switched around... the skeleton crew finding out the hard way that one of those swaps was champagne and ''cyanide'', immediately killing everyone except Dr. Key, who doesn't drink alcohol and just had water instead. Key then finds out that the cloning machines are faulty, as not only will her clone start off as a baby with none of her memories, but her original self will die in the cloning process. What follows is a long log of the various Katrina Key clones documenting their lonely existences growing up with only Key Prime's recordings for company, sinking into existential despair as they realize the god KK-1 made up for them to keep them in line isn't real, and generally [[GoMadFromTheIsolation Going Mad From The Isolation]]. By the time the door finally opens, KK-507 is absolutely bat-shit insane.
** SCP-001-[[blue:BLUE]] is ''PALLIT'', after having taken over the body of the matriarch of the [WEASELS?!] (whom they call [Grandma!]). She then proceeds to shunt Earth into a pocket dimension where it's literally impossible to die, retrieves the humans from [[gold:YELLOW]], and rules Earth as its new goddess. However, she has the temperament of an excitable toddler and exactly no moral compass, so the first appearance we see is of her showcasing her newest creation to the O-5 Council -- she's been ''breeding [WEASELS?!] in secret'' so she can ''gruesomely torture them'' for their transgressions against humanity. She impales one of them with a spike, rips out the garden growing on its back (one of the worst violations imaginable to their species), stuffs one of the trees into its mouth, then gets Taggart, O5-4's 7 year-old son, to jam a [WEASEL?!]-larva into the hole where the tree used to be and beat it with a mallet while screaming "THIS PLANET IS MY BIRTHRIGHT!" The O5 Council is horrified, KK-507 vomits in horror, and O5-12 moves as if to intervene... but O5-11 stops him, reminding him that there's nothing they can do -- the Ethics Committee is dead, and PALLIT dealt with the famously unkillable SCP-682 by effortlessly turning it into a cheese sculpture.
** This, of course, leads to SCP-001-[[purple:VIOLET]] -- the SCP Foundation after a mass-brainwashing event. KK-507, seeing the horrific treatment of the [WEASELS?!], seeks out the only surviving [WEASEL?!] from the invasion of Earth and, after a brief conversation, decides to free it. PALLIT immediately catches on and locks KK-507 back in [[gold:YELLOW]] for 100 years to "cool off", then decides to prevent further rebellion by brainwashing the rest of humanity into complete obedience and programming them with a fear of [[AC:STRANGERS]] -- that is, any non-human civilization or dangerous animal that might possibly harm a human. Other [=SCPs=] are conscripted either to help humanity or invade [[AC:STRANGER]] planets to destroy them. The list is long, but among the most horrifying are: SCP-999, who was a plaything for PALLIT before being dubbed a [[AC:STRANGER]] because it kept looking at the humans and other creatures around it and crying, SCP-169, who was made immortal, paralyzed, and endlessly eaten alive by humanity while it cries out in agony, and ''SCP-001-CLF'', which was triggered in a parallel universe where humanity had already gone extinct, which PALLIT now uses as a prison dimension for [[AC:STRANGERS]].
--->'''STRANGERS DON'T DESERVE A SUN THAT LIKES THEM.'''
** PALLIT checks on KK-507 after 100 years... only for KK-507 to try to kill her by injecting code into her using a rapidly flickering desk lamp. PALLIT is offline just long enough for [Grandma!] to free a few of the [WEASELS?!] -- including Charlie, the [WEASEL?!] KK-507 freed -- who rush in and teleport KK-507 away to another dimension. PALLIT responds by creating SCP-001-[[gray:BLACK]] (or, as she dubs it, the Group Hug). She takes all of humanity and transports them into space, wads them together until their naked bodies form a second sun, then lights them on fire, leaving them to burn ''for eternity''. She then begins searching other dimensions for more humans to add to her Group Hug, rationalizing that humanity will always destroy itself if left to its own devices, and the Group Hug is the only way to keep them safe. The only thing KK-507 and the surviving [WEASELS?!] can do is send this very packet of files to the reader's dimension, in the hopes they can prepare for PALLIT's invasion -- a journey that KK-507 does not survive.
--->''If there were any gentler way to keep you safe and together with me, I'd have done it ages ago. But the fire will not merely hurt. It will burn away all irrelevant concepts and sensations.\\
No thought will remain but one evergreen idea, built to outlast the death of every star in the sky: "We are the human race, and we are loved."\\
And when the [[AC:STRANGERS]] look upon the light of the Group Hug, they will lay down their arms and sulk away in eternal shame, knowing that I have accomplished what they never will.\\
\\
In other words, if I burn you forever, no one else will ever get to do it.''

* Speaking of disturbing food dispensers, [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-294 SCP-294]], The Coffee Machine, is a coffee machine that can dispense just about any kind of liquid. Like SCP-261, it's, for the most part, a lighthearted, if darkly humorous tale about a vending machine that can make anything (water, coffee, cola, beer...blood, sweat, saliva...liquid nitrogen, molten metal, sulfuric acid...) as long as it can exist in liquid form, though it operates on an extremely eerie case of being strictly literal in how it interprets your commands. If you value your appetite, do not use "joe" as a synonym for "coffee" when inputting what drink you want, especially if your name is Joe, or if there's a Joe somewhere in the room with you. Not only does SCP-261 dispense any liquid possible, but it can actively take that liquid from somewhere so it can dispense it. Said machine, if given the command 'A Cup of Joe' goes for a LiteralMetaphor in a very painful way, extracting and dispensing a mixture of bodily liquids from the nearest person named Joe. It's survivable, but the person this happened to had to be hospitalized for several weeks. There's also "The Perfect Drink," which causes the drinker to become depressive and [[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide]] because "everything else is just a letdown now." For more straightforward ways of killing you, it will happily dispense any kind of industrial chemical you like. There's a ''reason'' why they have two security guards stationed there with orders to shoot anyone who is trying to order anything other than normal drinks or substances strictly for research.

Anytime someone tries to destroy or fix one of the pipes, they burst open, spraying materials like oil, mercury, hordes of rats, seawater, and ''molten iron'' until the subject dies or retreats. SCP-015 currently contains about 120 miles worth of pipes. There have also been reports of banging and screaming coming from within SCP-015.

Recreating that whole is the Church's ultimate goal. Of course, we don't know if they're right. If they ''are,'' some of the worst complex [[ArtifactOfDoom Artifacts of Doom]] actually make a whole greater than the sum of its parts, and that whole is ''sentient.''

That's not the NightmareFuel. The real NF comes from an addendum that explains that due to 204-1 freaking out if there isn't another suitable child to imprint on if needed, the Foundation has a group of suitable candidates. However, if they need candidates quickly, they can enlist some more candidates who don't fit the protocol- i.e., they are of a suitable age (preferably under ten), but they don't have a history of abuse. The Foundation will then '''turn them over to 'caretakers' which will consist of D-class personnel convicted of violent crimes, child abuse, and pedophilia'''. It also says that the procedure for hiring the 'caretakers' is the same one for finding people to perform Procedure 110-Montauk on SCP-231. Jesus Christ.
