SCP Foundation

... Isn't that just the actual stories, as opposed to the SCP articles and what not?

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

Isn't that what you were asking about?

but HOW?

I was asking about everything. "Fiction" isn't limited to stories, you know.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

Well, in that case, it's just the site/wiki, right? There isn't really one all-encompassing canon here. Hell, even the SCP articles themselves don't usually have continuity.

but HOW?

Is pretty much one of their mottos "there is no canon"

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"

But they all share a common setting with common traits and terminology. Nobody argues what counts as an SCP (because it simply boils down to "something with properties that appear to flagrantly defy the laws of nature as we know/understand them, and which we have yet to find a scientific explanation for"), the S/E/K/T object classes, what a Mobile Task Force is, what "cognitohazard"/"infohazard"/"memetic" means and how it generally works, what or how the Foundation works in the most general, non-classified terms (including the existence of the O5; that said, it's up to one's perferences as to what "O5" stands for, with common choices being "Council of Observers, Level 5" or "Overseer Level 5 Council"), or anything else mentioned here as something that is generally/universally accepted no matter what canon you use.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

I have an inkling of an idea of some sort of strange toy ecosystem, with loose equivalents to "producers" (blocks that reproduce by binary fission, with a chance of minute variation upon each split) and "herbivores" that "consume" via play of these blocks. Any ideas on "carnivores", and how to make this not like a ripoff of existing skips?

Halper's Law: as the length of an online discussion of minority groups increases, the probability of "SJW" or variations being used = 1.

Ask the guys on the wiki. That's why they're there.

but HOW?

@Santos L Halper there is already an scp like that, except instead of toys...its human body parts. very squicky.

also, someone earlier claimed that the foundation are super evil and only harm innocent people, except...the foundation has SEVERAL very dangerous SC Ps in it, such as 173, 682, the clockwork virus, the opera mask that melts everything, the cargo ship, radical larry, the plague doctor....

seriously, as much awful stuff the foundation does, they are also the only ones stopping the earth from getting destroyed or at least making the death tolls smaller than they would be otherwise. also, another note, it seems the foundation does severly punish researchers that horribly cross the line either via stupidity, arrogance, ego or sociopathy,such as what happaned to the guy who sent several test subjects into a room that erasedeveryones memories of that person simpy cause the researcher refused to accept anything other than his own theories. so yeah, even the foundation has standards

I love Anime! And comics! And games....and stuff...

that is a bunch of term every story use but outside that there is not canon.

the foundation is...nasty and brutal against everyone who hold a SCP, they contain them and make sure nobody misused them but they are terrying in the way, how nasty varied a lot(again, there is not canon)

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"

So what? That doesn't mean that there is no shared universe for them all that can be given a defined name.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

In fact they avoid even crossing of SCP, aside from the term to said its the fundation nothing else is required.

As you see the page can be very anal with their rules sometimes.

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"

I have recently learned that the whole "cross-referencing of SCPs is taboo on the SCP Foundation wiki" is a myth. No, seriously. It's in the manual. (Specifically, How to Write an SCP, in the"Cross-Links" tab.)

On another note, I've come across SCP-2722, and the page listing all of the things the Foundation found in it (along with translations of discovered inscriptions) may very well be the funniest thing I've ever read.

One example:

The Foundation isn't ever any crueler to their subjects than is necessary, in my opinion. A lot of restrictions that the more "innocent" SC Ps have to deal with stem not from some indifferent prison bureaucracy, but from their own abilities or properties that they often can't control themselves. Their treatment is sad, but often justified.

The ink flows into a dark puddle, just move your hand- write the way into his heart

That is weird, most of the time I have seen in the comment avoidance to cross-testing, mostly because fan get a little over joy to continuity porn or to cross every other SCP with your own creation and because it should stand on their on

Also....that is strange, unless it is a joke SCP. they are VERY adverse to that kind of thing and are very harsh enforcing i.

Granted "only necesary" can said A LOT, the fundation is not cruel but really cold.

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"

If you'd read the article, you'd know that the Foundation aren't the ones who wrote those graffiti. They're finding and logging them as they explore the gigantic, labyrinthine starship that is the skip in question.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

I have to say that the experiment log I've had the most fun reading on the site was the one for SCP-261. It was fun to see all the weird, wacky, and sometimes ominous food items people came up with, and I have to say I even found some of them to sound almost appetizing.

Oh, this one's new to me. I'll go read it.

Isn't that the way with any government agency?

Be sure to come back here and tell us which ones you found the funniest/weirdest/coolest.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

I dug up an old map I made. Somehow, I doubt any good will come of this world.

Halper's Law: as the length of an online discussion of minority groups increases, the probability of "SJW" or variations being used = 1.

So, for you what are the best group of interest?

I mean I like the idea of Global ocult organization bend on defending the planet, Prometheus labs are also cool but the best are the serpent hand, specially in their library

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"

The GOC doesn't protect anything. It just shoots whatever it can't understand.

but HOW?

consider the mayority of those thing tend to fuck reallity in ten diferent way if lucky....yeah, they protect people

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"

Those sentient ships weren't hurting anyone. And that chair only started hurting people after the GOC went after it.

but HOW?

And on the other hand you have Iris, the drawing girl or that horse keep alive for not damn reason at all

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"

You will have to elaborate on Iris' case. The current profile doesn't ring any particular alarm bells, especially in light of her eventual attempt to escape with the cooperation of a Foundation researcher through outright deception.

As for the drawing girl, and assuming you're referring to Cassie, she was an honestly unintended byproduct of a sanctioned cross-testing experiment, and has been treated with nothing but humane kindness ever since. Even when she inadvertantly discovered her true nature as a 2D entity when containment protocols forbade revealing said fact to her, a request from some paranoid researchers to terminate her immediately was overturned by the O5 Council, with the vote split into single-digit values on both sides, which could mean anything from 9-4 at best to 7-6 at worst. And so far none of the requests she had made were rejected outright; at worst, they're pending approval by the O5. Also, her containment protocols are quite relaxed and include unrestricted (though supervised) contact with her to all personnel with Level 2 clearance (which is rather low in the official SCP hierarchy of security clearances).

And the horse? Well, who the hell knows what could happen if you euthanize an anomalous organism? Maybe it will blow up a huge chunk of the planet, or someone/something related to it that the Foundation may or may not have encountered yet will take so much offense that they instigate a Keter-class disaster! It's always a risk that the Foundation never takes lightly. Also, do note that they don't use the pain treatment unless they want to clean it, since it will not clean after itself. And then there's the implications of this horse having actual Mind Manipulation powers, as indicated by the recorded incident and the revised containment protocols.
