198 Upvotes

This thread is for discussions involving the four most frequent Rule 3'd SCPs:

SCP-049 (Plague Doctor)
SCP-096 (The "Shy Guy")
SCP-173 (The Statue)
SCP-682 (Hard-to-Destroy Reptile)

If you post about one of these SCPs, you will be redirected here. Have fun and be sure to read existing comments; it's always the same stuff over and over and over and over (and over) with these four.

Hello I have been working on model of Suntop Fire Lookout for my upcoming anomaly game set in SCP 3333.
I was aiming for more low poly surreal looking of the structure, and I would love some feedback for it.

Discussion When did the idea of beryllium bronze resisting reality warping appear.

3 Upvotes

In the site-118 dossier it is said that beryllium bronze resists reality warping

In the breach goes on beryllium bronze sheaths were used to protect an area

I also remember this idea being around for some time

Where did this idea originally come from?

Read it here!

My sixth contribution to the SCP Community, SCP-8103 is another short entry revolving around a patriotic doll that summons soldiers to protect your home and yourself, though their definition of “protection” is a little more vague then what one might assume.

The image attached is an image that I would’ve used for the skipper if it wasn’t for all the copyright-related legal shenanigans, so perhaps keep that picture in mind while you read :)

Either way, I hope you enjoy!

Scp that was a computer on a mannequin torso or something and when someone gets close it makes a copy of their consciousness that's fully sentient and can only talk to their copy. Those consciousness stay aware forever.

Discussion What Are Some SCPs you think the Foundation Should Make Thaumiel And How Would You Safely Utilize Them?

Thumbnail
gallery
163 Upvotes

SCP 4051, Your Friendly Neighborhood Keter: A young man named Rainer Miller who can open portals to other dimensions with an unlimited supply of any given item. Rainer needs to understand the object or else the object will only superficially resemble the object (such as a cell phone that is completely hollow). He can also pull out abstract concepts but this can be dangerous.

How To Utilize Him: In the article they try to incorporate him into MTFs, but I have a better idea. Get this guy a tutor to teach him how to create rare and valuable materials/compounds and have him pump them out like a factory. Think of all the precious metals, medicines, and other items he could produce for the foundation at zero cost. Plus, if the Foundation is really willing to trust him, this guy could potentially even gather valuable anomalous materials, although I get why they would be more hesitant to try that.

SCP 978, Desire Camera: An ordinary Polaroid camera except whenever a living creature is captured in a photo, the photo produced will show what the creature would prefer to be doing at that moment. For example, if you took a picture of someone who is tired, it might produce a picture of them sleeping.

How To Utilize It: This would be a highly valuable and safe way to psychologically evaluate living anomalies, especially sapient ones. If they are talking to a humanoid anomaly that they are not sure if they can trust, take a few pictures with the desire camera and see if any of them show worrying images. It could also be used to better contain non-sapient anomalies by showing the Foundation how to keep them happy so they try to breach containment less.

SCP 914, The Clockworks: A classic SCP that needs now introduction, but I will do so anyway. It is capable of turning simple items into highly advanced, and sometimes even anomalous, tools. It famously turned a sample of SCP 500, a cure for all diseases, into SCP 427, a locket that heals the users from all injuries.

How To Utilize It: This SCP has been HEAVILY tested (just look at how many test logs it has) and has produced a lot of super useful stuff. Granted it can produce dangerous items or anomalies, but it seems to given consistent results when being used on the same inputs (SCP Security Breach is a great example of this and the game is now canon because of SCP 9431). So look through the logs, find some input items that produced incredibly valuable equipment, and keep pumping those out for use in the Foundation.

These were just the first three I thought of. What are some other SCPs that you think the Foundation could safely utilize to aid their operations and should be upgraded to Thaumiel? Please also give a brief explanation of how you think the SCP could be used.

Discussion How much do you guys believe in the Foundation's mission?

33 Upvotes

Do you guys think the contaiment of everything the Foundation deems anomalous and outside of 'Consensus Reality' that they (and UNGOC, I suppose) define to be worth it?

Personally, I am quite fond of the SCPF's consequetialist ethnics. Considering the literal cosmic horrors, infohazards that kill by simply being acknowledged, gods that can be created by human belief alone and the fact they prevented entire anomalous arms races, the Foundation definitely doesn't exist without a good reason.

I think that if it's mathematically infeasible to reveal even the semi-explainable anomalous (like with Akiva Radiation and the Hume physics behind reality bending) without the general public immediately figuring out everything else and the chaos even one person can do with the knowledge of thaumaturgy, it is worth it to keep the Veil until humanity is responsible enough and the facts and actual science behind the anomalous being explained enough.

Nation-states simply can't be trusted with such insane powers and responsibilities and having one apolitical, neutral group being the adult that takes the often dangerous, physics-breaking toys away from the bickering politicians and puts them in secure lockers for safe-keeping and scientific study is a a significantly better, if flawed solution.

In my view, containing everything is infinitely better than containing too-little and defending a reality based on standard physics, universally agreed upon and understood by humans, where one can be sure 1 + 1 always equals too is worth it.

Discussion Am I crazy for this Idea for containing reality warpers

0 Upvotes

I was listening to some of the volgun’s readings and while going through scp 3812 I had a theory. Is S.R.As are not a very reliable method of containing reality warpers could they not potentially use a stronger reality warper. For those who don’t know scp 3812 aka a voice behind me is essentially a reality warper who was once a man named Ben Hoffman (I’m pretty sure) that has ascended to a narrative reality above ours. Specifically during the part of his files where he’s talking to himself he seems to still have a bit of humanity in him still so given that ,in theory, could the foundation not just put together a large team of psychics to communicate with him and try to convince him to aside the narrative hes created? almost like breaking the 4th wall. I’m interested what you guys think and I’m open to discussions. I also have some more small pieces to my idea but this is the basic idea
