Seeking Greenlights: Yes
Page Type: SCP Article
Genre (Optional): History
Elevator Pitch:
Librarian Protocol: A computer program that can summon a doorway into another universe, by manifesting a door within a doorframe connected to a computer.
Ability
Open gateways to other universes using a program.
Usage
The compiler can only use the program to open a door.
Access
A computer needs to solve for its password changes every 24 hours, then compiled before the next password is noted.
Doorway choice
The physical doorway requires a doorframe.
Universe choice
Dependent on the user.
Door description
A wooden door with a worn handle.
General universe description
Exploration teams can meet hostile or non-hostile beings. The general area is always different.
Central Narrative:
The story is a set of exploration logs listed by a catalogue.
Limitation
1. An empty doorframe must be wired to the computer.
2. The door cannot be closed unless its native beings are back and this overrides the password lock to access the program.
3. A corpse does not count as a foreign entity.
Problem
1. There are infinite universes.
2. 80% possibility of the universes being hostile to mankind. 25% of the said universes have cognitohazards which can lead to death.
3. Exploration teams need safety equipment to handle certain universes.
4. 8% possibility of universes have beings that can help the Earth but are busy protecting from other deadlier beings.
5. 12% possibility of universes are other universes have the Foundation in it, with 2% with their own Librarian Protocol. The rest may get a copy.
History
1. A set of runes were found in a chunk from Stonehenge and promptly written by archaeological teams.
2. A translation team decoded and found it to be compatible with the latest programming languages.
3. Initial testing resulted in the death of the IT and science team after a hostile entity broke through, only managing to get pushed back and program shut down.
4. Surviving IT expert codes a self-running program to encrypt the program with its passwords changing every 24 hours.
Hook/Attention-Grabber: This concept explores the dilemma of being able to pass through a hostile environment for an artifact, may it be an object or wisdom, that can be vital to the Foundation. This concept also deals with the Prisoner's Dilemma and what a Foundation might do with an exploration team.
Additional Notes: The team over 914's experiment logs are very helpful in fixing this. The name is from a character of my own.
