This is a product of my never ending interest with the Pinkerton Agency as an entity.

Thanks to DrChandra, Modern_Erasmus, and Kakroom for critique.

Really good. Couple of typos and formatting errors to be fixed up here and there. (One of the SCP-3155-XX's in the interviews need bolding, and you're missing a space in SCP-3155instances. This is normally the kind of thing I'd have the audacity to edit myself, but doing it on a phone is a pain in the arse, and I'm already late for work as is.)

Great world-building. Immersive dialogue - although you could have perhaps varied the tones and idiolects a little more. Very nice structure. Fun images. Just an enjoyable read all-round. Well done.

The amount of them currently in custody really shouldn't be relegated to a footnote. Also if these individuals are still alive, clearly there is something anomalous about their aging, and there's no excuse for not mentioning it in the description.

Buttfranklin 06 Oct 2017 20:23

To be fair, we don't know when this report was written. The piece could be set in the early 1900s.

Late response, but it doesn't take place in the modern day in any capacity. Also, I used the footnote because I couldn't find a way to naturally insert it into the first or two sentences.

As usual I'm a sucker for historical skips, and this one came with some nice character exploration.

This is an amazing SCP, mainly because it showcases the fact that some anomalies prefer containment near the end. Combine that with indefinitely colorful character exploration and some history and you've got a real good one. +1, my good sir!

Firstly, this skip mentions the American Secure Containment Initiative. I propose crosslinking to SCP-2750, which embodies the ASCI pretty well.

Secondly, the anomalous abilities of some of these folk seem to correspond to some SCPs. I propose linking to those.

Editing this:

During this time the American Secure Containment Initiative had disbanded due to lack of government funding during the Civil War.

On 6-23-1900, SCP-3155-1 was reported to have burst into flames. Intention behind this act is currently unknown.

Editing this:

SCP-3155 instances often have anomalous abilities primarily focusing on combat, although there have been documented cases of SCP-3155 instances controlling the Hume level within an area, effectively acting as a primitive Scrantron Reality Anchor prior to its creation by Prometheus Labs in the early 19██s. Other documented cases have shown flesh manipulation, psychokinetic control, and extreme regenerative abilities.

The woman in the black suit gave me an offer. She told me that Pinkerton could help me control my <Pause> powers, so to speak. My mom, she hadn't ever taught me to control my powers. She said it was a curse, and that it'd be better if I just died. Stopped the blood line. A curse brought from the East by flesh worshipers.

Shouldn't this article be given the Sarkic tag? Or we could even link the Sarkicism Hub to the flesh worshipers.

surprised nobody has made rdr2 references here

Foundation Operatives have been installed in all levels of the American government with the express purpose of identifying and locating previously uncontained SCP-3155 instances.

I don't think "previously uncontained" makes sense here. Either "uncontained" or "previously contained" would make more sense.

I'm downvoting for clunky wording. It sounds like a failed attempt to sound clinical, unfortunately. The phrasing that sealed my downvote was:

Due to SCP-3155-11's action in injuring SCP-3155-58

I'd be happy to provide additional examples and suggest changes, if that interests you.
