Good, but could be shorter

Jack Wood (guest) 09 Mar 2009 00:32

I like this idea. I think it'd be an interesting setting, and should come with a bunch of found documents and investigation logs in the library. But I think the actual SCP entry should be shorter.
I don't always agree that less is more, but it really applies to this one. I think this article could be significantly improved by making the Special Containment Procedure section longer (hiding an entire city, with potential temporal disturbances, and unknown, uncontained SCP objects in the vicinity? It should be significant), and the description shorter. Leave little details like the geography, architecture, and function for other documents.
A list of objects found within would be good, so long as it's appropriately vague and tantalizing.

Well, this one came over from the old site, so it's likely the author is not around anymore. Read the 'how to' page, and then feel free to give it a try.

Kain and I are working on a big story with this one. While i like your ideas, just give us a little time with it before making any big changes. If you're interested in the story, see The Lockdown.

Sir Viking 15 Mar 2009 08:35

Why would the inhabitants of a city absolutely NEED a life support system? Unless it was underwater, in space, or from another planet I can't see why losing it would kill everyone.

And at Dr. Gears, I read that story. It's fucking amazing

Dr Gears 16 Mar 2009 12:59

Trust me, at the time, the life support was VERY needed…

If i can rouse Kain up, we can get a chapter compiled, and maybe explain a bit more…

Dr_Schubert 14 Feb 2010 01:18

If you're in a mine, you tend to need some sort of life support, even if it isn't as extensive as a SCUBA or the ISS's. There's no air underground.

Just without water.

I'll clean it up a bit.

Don't touch.

Radioactive Zombie 14 Feb 2010 00:41

Point taken.

Pair Of Ducks 14 Feb 2010 08:57

wait, why can't he touch?

worst comes to worst, we revert it.

tomatogoatee 13 May 2010 14:43

He can't touch because, despite people always saying there's no canon, this is canon.

Plus, it's one of those old SCPs that most people feel are immune to revision or deletion.

I like to think of it as the 'catch-all' for anyone else trying to write an underground/undersea city.

tunedtoadeadchannel 29 Sep 2010 00:34

No, there is no canon. But at the time, gears was using the article for something, seen?

Hmmm

Scherzo 18 Sep 2010 02:49

I like this concept. Is it possible to add to it, logs and the like, maybe a few of the SCPs contained there?

Quikngruvn 28 Sep 2010 14:03

Questions from the chat, from a user (Taveena) who has not yet been accepted:
"Shouldn't SCP-110 be reclassified as at least Euclid, if SCPs have been found there?" (How is it even "Unclassifiable"?)
"Also, shouldn't the list of SCPs found there be expunged or something instead of 'to be added'?"

G Fox 28 Sep 2010 14:19

Definitely sounds like a Euclid class to me. I don't think our classification system actually has gaps that "unclassified" SCPs would fall under.

Cliff Mariachi 13 Sep 2018 13:21

This should be a nexus.

Bland 17 Nov 2011 17:59

There's never any mention of SCP-110-01 other then that it exists…

Lady Parnassus 29 Jan 2012 23:58

And that it greeted the explorers. Something sentient, perhaps?

ArbiterBibendi 08 Mar 2012 04:45

That bugged the crap out of me. SCP-110-01 is strongly implied to be sentient; he/she is referred to as a "who," not a "what," and is subsequently "detained." Even if we're to assume that further details pertaining to him/her were [REDACTED], the existence of a sentient being who was able to provide information should change the whole direction of the report. After the initial mention of him/her, all other information seems to have come from "maps" and "records." Are we to understand that SCP-110-01 doesn't know whether or not manufacturing took place anywhere in the city? That he/she didn't even know where the "rich part of town" was? I can only assume that he/she was either very, very young (which makes the implied "sole survivor" scenario unlikely), or wasn't around to answer questions very long.

Or maybe…SCP-110-01 was one of the escaped SCP's from the outer ring? That could be a hell of a story.

Escape?

johnfilmsia 10 Feb 2012 21:16

I'm intrigued by the idea that so many people died. You'd think there'd be a mass exodus, right? Why stay in a self-contained city that's dangerous when people could escape to the surface?
That opens up a thought: Were the inhabitants prevented from escaping by authority or fear of what is above ground?

Re: Escape?

Tom Serveaux 10 Feb 2012 21:42

This SCP reminds me of a book called The City of Ember. In that book, the people in the self-contained underground city didn't even know that there was a surface world. Maybe something similar happened here?

Re: Escape?

Bland 11 Feb 2012 00:17

You're in a city. Suddenly EVERYTHING goes wrong. Power and life support goes out. Some areas collapse in on themselves as you're suddenly underground. To make matters worse, you're a Foundation site and things are trying to get out and at you.

They probably didn't realize they were "only" a third of a mile underground. It might not have done them any good if they did.

Because SCP-110-01 survived and greeted the Foundation when they showed up. And EVERYONE else was dead.

Honestly, this sounds like a better plot then many of the SyFy movies… But everyone still dies in the end.

Mattnumbers 23 Apr 2012 03:19

I think it should be revealed what SCP 110-01 is, and maybe some of the ones found inside the city. I mean, it's been so long and the article just casually mentions 110-01 and says it's detained for questioning without mentioning it again.
