This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-3763.
Author, if you're not going to apply all the tags for an article, leave the article untagged so that the tagging team doesn't miss it.
No signature defined.
Not sure how I feel about the letters at the end. It feels like you're working too hard to add a story to a piece that really doesn't need one. It would be stronger without them. It bothers me, but not enough to downvote or no vote.
I second this opinion. The letters are touching, but they don't add anything. The main article already hints at a man with a dead father, whose car he inherited, and a missing or dead mother.
But, I upvoted the SCP anyways.
Why is this Euclid?
Other than the "keep people away" effect, can't you just box this up in a slightly larger than usual containment cell?
I believe it's Euclid because there's a living human who is a component of the anomaly. They need to be contained too, and that requires more than the basic "box it up and stick it in a warehouse" procedure.
SCP-3763-1 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-48. As SCP-3763-1 believes it is in the custody of Marshall, Carter and Dark LLP, all personnel working with SCP-3763-1 are to maintain this deception by any means necessary. SCP-3763-1 is allowed access to approved entertainment material in exchange for its cooperation during testing of SCP-3763.
Like, why? Why would the Foundation do any of this. I mean this guy and the anomalous item are in Foundation custody and pose no threat to Foundation operations or the Veil. It’s also implied that the guy knows he’s effectively a prisoner, yet he is evidently timid and will readily cooperate in exchange for minor material reward.
So why would the Foundation expend this much effort on something that seems absolutely unnecessary? Am I supposed to believe nobody in Finances ever looked at this and realized "hey, why are we wasting money on this?" Did nobody working in Administration ever complain about how much paperwork they need to process for special training, props and vetting that’s needed when personnel is assigned to this very mundane guy?
What benefits are gained by doing all this stuff? And unless the guy is an exceptional idiot, he’ll probably realize that things don’t really add up relatively quickly anyways.
So why bother with all that when saying "We’re actually not that company. We are an organization researching anomalous phenomena." would probably be enough to resolve all this. Hell, it’d probably even make it easier to gain useful information from this guy.
