Headscratchers / One Helluva Broken Day

  • The biggest question to those readers who paid close attention is "Why are there no former D-Class sinner demons trying to expose the existence of the Foundation to the public in Hell?", while the answer may not be attainable for a while, it's interesting to think about.
    • They probably have, but this is HELL! Nearly everyone is insane or drugged/drunk off their ass. The truth of the Foundation is the kind of thing a lunatic would invent, and is brushed off just as easily.
    • There's also the theory some commenters have come up with, that the Foundation has a site location in Hell. If that's true, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that said site just grab any D-Class sinner that falls into Hell and either apply amnestics to the D-Class so they can't remember their time/death at the Foundation or simply kill them again (if they have access to the holy weapons that can kill sinners, which they probably have at least a couple) so they don't tell anyone about the Foundation.
    • The existence of SCP-5370 does the josh the idea of Foundation presence in hell. However, there are tons of other Groups of Interest with goals similar to the Foundations, like the GOC and the UIU, that would in all likelihood perform their tasks of upholding the Masquerade in their place.
  • How in the name of God/343 did Verosika's gang & Vortex get past Foundation security to enter SCP-3008 apparently unnoticed? There was no mention of them encountering resistance before entering 3008. And yes I know of Blitzo's 'suggestion' but I doubt that.
    • They have a part in one of 990's prophecies, so perhaps he appeared to 3008's guards and told them to let the succubi pass to ensure events play out how he wants them to.
      • Where is that mentioned exactly? I've reread Chapter 4 and it doesn't say anything about that.
      • It's just a bit of conjecture, I personally read it to imply the Foundation somehow knew 001 was coming and diverted manpower from every less-dangerous SCP to prepare.
  • Where is 1295 during all this? 1295 are the Four Horsemen of the apocalypse stuck hanging out at some roadside diner. Would they be affected by the sunlight? If not would they be stuck hanging out at the diner?
    • Either staying on Earth for so long has weakened them much more greatly than they thought or when the sun broke they managed to get enough power to go back home.
  • In the Season 2 episode "Oops" it's stated that Succubi & Incubi are one of the few Hellborn demons able to freely & safely traverse between Hell and Earth with Asmodeus Crystals, but that means in OHBD the fact 990's vision showed that ONLY Verosika's band mattered in saving Hell from the broken sun means for whatever reason they were the only demons on Earth at the time of the sun breaking.
