SCP-#### "Source Code"

Seeking Greenlights: Yes

Page Type: SCP Article

Elevator Pitch: Regular desktop keyboard; when typed upon, user sees the letters/words typed. After too much use; the user no longer sees regularly; but instead sees objects as words. i.e. a door would be seen as "WOOD" or "METAL" in letters the size of the door.

Central Narrative: Various Class-D personnel undergoing exposure to this SCP to various degrees. One Class-D will undergo the full effects, and be brought to a cross-test with another SCP [Unknown as of yet] that is invisible to the human eye. Documentation of this final test will be heavily REDACTED. This SCP's containment zone started off as being in an empty, 2mx3m room, but after a series of testing, was moved to a 5mx4m room decorated as an ordinary work office.
Class-D's effected by this SCP will be used by researchers to identify a series of other SCP's within the given facility. These reports, however, will not yield as much information as the researchers hope. Any document that does have 'answers' will be locked behind Level-4 clearance. There will be a document detailing a researcher's wish to bring a Class-D affected by this SCP outside of the facility in order to assist Mobile Task Force teams in the location and retrieval of anomalous objects.

Hook/Attention-Grabber: Being able to see the world in a new light. Being able to see things broken down to their fundamentals. Seeing what things truly are. Is that not part of what the Foundation seeks to achieve? Understanding?

Additional Notes: This SCP was found located in the storage room of a government facility located in [REDACTED] by a government employee who's keyboard broke.

On behalf of the Team of the Oinks, I will be taking a look at this post!

Let's dive in, shall we?

So the narrative here is really lacking given the idea that you have. I quite like the idea and the implication that it has, for instance, it could be useful when examining cognitohazardous objects or perhaps the subject sees people as adjectives instead of people, etc. The narrative you've presented here is not very developed it seems, as in, you know what the object does and who it is affecting but not what the affected person is going to do with these circumstances, understand?

That being said, I really feel like you can expand upon this quite a lot and that you should definitely experiment with what directions you want this story to go.

Went ahead and significantly updated the Central narrative, added a lot more too it, as Marcelles_Raynes said; it wasn't very fleshed out when originally posted. Let me know what you guys think of the new narrative!
