REMINDERS TO CONTRIBUTORS: SCP-914 does not create or destroy matter, nor does it change anything on the atomic level. All outputs should contain all and only the matter included in the input. Some grandfathered entries break this rule, but new entries should never do so.
Additional reminder: 914 is a cheeky little bugger. It's unpredictable and apparently kinda snarky. If the output is exactly what you'd expect from the input, or if 914 has just obligingly improved everything you put in, the entry is out-of-character.
Leveritas (me) will regularly check this page, selecting logs that are of sufficient quality to add to the log and port them over.
- Tests that fail to adhere to the proper format (date, etc.) will not be ported until fixed.
- You can place notes at the end of tests, and feel free to be creative when doing so. It can give some interesting insight into dynamics within the Foundation. Having said that, don't make Foundation personnel look like idiots/psychopaths/juvenile/a combination of those. It's a professional research organization, not a fraternity ward or a death cult.
- Not too direct. 914 doesn't talk to researchers directly, it ruins the mystery and it's not clear if the machine is sentient or not. If you put in a note, you don't get a response, you might get something that might be a response if you interpret it a certain way, but it also might be random. Or something else entirely.
- Ownership of content posted to the 914 log is retained by log curators as stewards over any content therein. As such, any authors contributing to the logs cede any future claims to said content to the collaboration log curator.
If you're not comfortable with your in-universe name being used, politely request a change or come to me about it.
Notice: On another note, changing these notices will result in disciplinary actions, meaning Site banning, not just this log.
Some of you might have noticed that I'm being harsher on notes and logs that I deem too LOLFoundation. To illustrate my point, I'm going to use an example from part IV:
I actually edited the note. This is what it originally was:
This is a very small difference, but it makes a world of difference in tone. The first entry works a lot better because it's not a researcher scolding the machine outright as a kid would. It's implying (read, show don't tell) that the researcher became so fed up with the result that he outright left. Wacky entries work well if it's against the cold professionalism that signifies the Foundation, and it doesn't work if it looks like the employees are acting just as unprofessional.
Added Logs
Please delete yours as soon as you see it. Thanks! (Logs that have been moved here for more than a day have been shortened to save a little space.)
Denied Logs
Denied or equivalent by mod, as well as drafts that have not been touched for a long time. (Will be deleted after a day without activity.)
General Notes
Notices for everyone.
1. If you didn't bother reading the above division of obviously important text, click here!
2. Mod will remove notes if they are too excessive/LOLFoundation/unprofessional.
3. Part XVIII is up and running! Find your tests here.
4. New log-writers, please do not use other writers' characters without asking. It is generally seen as bad form. If you want to use someone's character, most of the writers can be contacted via Wikidot PM or, for a quicker response, the 914 Discord server.
5. Everyone is invited to join the above Discord server. This also facilitates easier communication with the mod. If you notice something wrong with a particular test in Experiment Log 914, you can either point it out in the server or do so below.
6. Please, no more introduction notes. 914 is supposed to be unpredictable, and there’s only so many times it can turn handwriting into different handwriting or a drawing before you start predicting it.
Notes to Mod

Name: Junior Researcher Kringralnick
Date: 28/07/2021
Total Items: Two small lumps of raw iron, one small lump of siderite, one small lump of nickel, one small lump of olivine, one medium lump of iron magnesium oxide, two large air canisters containing hydrogen and helium, one small bottle of water, two small air canisters containing hydrogen, helium, methane, and ammonia, and one small canister containing water and compressed nitrogen
Input: Aforementioned items, arranged roughly in the order of the planets in our solar system
Setting: Fine
Output: Scale models of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and Pluto, as well as several gasses presumed to be the remains of the gas giant planets after they dissipated due to the lack of gravitational force holding them together. Upon further inspection, the planets that did stay together (With the exception of Pluto) appeared to have molten cores for a short period after refinement that have since cooled. When the removal of the model of Pluto from the booth was attempted, it was discovered to have a surface temperature of about -100 degrees Celsius, causing permanent damage to the D-Class tasked with removing the models.
This isn't a bad test to start off with. However, it is extremely predictable to the point that it's probably unacceptable. It is way too obliging and out-of-character of 914 to make a scale model of the planets in our solar system after you input materials that stand in as the substance of planets in our solar system, arranged in the order of the planets in our solar system. Remember that 914 is not supposed to act this predictable. - Boneka
No, making 914 injure a D-Class does not in any way fix the fact that the test is still uncharacteristically obliging. - Boneka
