*sniffle* I love you guys!
No, really, awesome work gentlemen.

Fantastic stuff! Way to turn a sow's ear to a silk purse, as the saying goes.
Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste. I've been around a long, long year, stole many a man's soul and fate.
I see what you did there.
Ah, it's another "Clef is satan" reference. Well played, sirs.
I have one question about Operation: Spoil The Rod.
How was it possible to transport SCP-531-D and Dr Clef using SCP-120 while they were asleep? The SCP-120 description explicitly states that it's only possible to transport someone through it while they are conscious.
Is there something in the operation description I am misunderstanding?
They used an hypnotic suggestion memetic effect embedded in the music to cause the subject to go asleep at some point (the story is written mostly from SCP-531's point of view), which is when they transported him away.
Yes, that's where I'm confused. How could he have been transported using SCP-120 if he was asleep? The SCP-120 description makes it clear that a person must be conscious in order to go through the portal it creates. If he's asleep, it should not have been possible for him to be transported by that means, according to how I understand the description.
Well, I'd assume Clef and another personnel stepped into the pool CARRYING SCP-531.
The trouble is that the description for SCP-120 says:
The item will only function in this way if a number of variables are addressed: the subject must be genetically human; the subject must be conscious; the subject must be carrying weights of under the specified amount; and only one subject must be present on the surface.
So it's not possible for multiple people to carry SCP-531-D at once, and his description would lead me to believe that he weighs more than 37.8 kilograms.
Apologies if I seem like a dog with a bone here, my intention is not to annoy.
"Human beings, when alive and carrying loads (including clothing) under 37.8 kilograms, are observed to fall through the pool, and are deposited at one of 11 destinations."
I think you misread that.
Admin, SCP Wiki
Perhaps, but the paragraph I quoted comes correctly afterwards, and implies that an alive but unconscious human (which SCP-531-D was at the time) placed onto the portal will not travel through.
Perhaps the description of SCP-120 would benefit from some editing to improve clarity on this matter.
Stop thinking. It's fiction, just accept that. You're fucking up the fourth wall.
Actually, you have a point. Fuck.
Obviously the description of one of the variables for 120 was changed to hide the truth, or Clef lied in his after-action report on how they got the subject to the moon. After all, it could never be something as simple as author error. >_> <_< >_<
It looks like the whole plan is still doable with SCP-120 as written, just instead of giving 531 the command "Sleep", he's given a command like "Follow Dr. Clef's instructions". Then, Clef hands 531 the still-playing CD player, says "Hold this," then commands 531 to step into the pool. 10 Class-D's later, and Clef steps through 120, joining the party on the moon. The operation then proceeds as written.
'Course, this all assumes that 120 interprets 061's neurological effects ("Acoustic codes developed by the SCP-061 program are interpreted by motor centers in the brain as conscious instructions") as the subject being conscious. Potential consequences of this scenario will be left as an exercise to the reader.
Well, no. The kid's a Type Green.
First you use 061 to put him into trance.
Then you tell him "on the count of three, you are to teleport yourself to the site currently on the other end of SCP-120, and then wait for me to join you, without waking up from your current trance state. One, two, three."
Then you gather up the props, and the bag of butterflies, and hop through.
Maybe they manipulated his reality bending powers against him? A command was given to "make the portal remain open to multiple unconscious, unladen humans, and not rotate from Location 9"? That would explain away another problem, how did they get both Clef and 531 through in no time at all without sacrificing 11 more D-class.
Okay, I finally had time to read this, and it was awesome. How did they get Clef back to Earth, though?
Minor issue:
"My mom's dead."
"I know. You killed two thousand people telling us that."
Vs
"…You murdered a thousand people because you couldn't deal with your whore of a mom dying…"
So which is it?
It's whatever the article says it is. Clef is obviously making a mistake in the heat of the moment.
