Having trouble figuring out that ending. Some kind of brick joke that I'm forgetting the beginning of?
I love the way Andrea and Aleksander interact. It's like a buddy cop movie but not cheesy. The Agatha Rights namedrop was a nice blast from the past, and I dug the reference to Dietrich and Bridges, as I was starting to wonder when exactly they'd tie into the main action that was going on.
Stuff is getting stirred up, and I'm really eager for more.
I think that email at the end is that 'a little more' directed to that old pervert.
And the removed image a particularly nasty visual cognitohazard…
Hint: take a closer look at that random string of letters.
2AGT SCPF MCND UNKN MSSN PSBL COOP IDNT SECR UPDT 2FLW
"Two agents, SCP Foundation, Marshall Carter & Dark, unknown mission, possible cooperation, identity secret, update to follow"?
Giving bearhugs to the unsuspecting since 1872.
That's what I read.
Clef, as usual, +1. Your use of conservation of detail is S-class.
Interesting as always, Clef. At least now I know what is this so-called "auction"… and it's just as I had imagined, but with more diversity.
But who is this unknown party at the last email? GOC? CI? ORIA? UIU? Who?
EDIT: The lack of Islamic allusions and coarse "cover subject" crosses out ORIA IMO.
EDIT EDIT: Googling the names of the sender and recipient, both are figures in the American Revolution's Continental Army. It may lend towards UIU, but nothing is certain (It could just be GOC or CI or who else is there).
How better to disguise ORIA communications, than with something decidedly un-Islamic?
That said, I suspect an as-yet-unknown GOI.
Could also be Prometheus Labs, as only their main base was destroyed and the branches want revenge. Also, it would never be GOC, due to the use of SCP-008, which they would never do. My guess is an unknown GoI.
Idk if it's remotely relevant, but I'm from CT, and Nathan Hale is a bit of a local hero — for saying that he regretted he only had one life to give for his country. I'm guessing that considering Marshall, Carter & Dark should all be dead multiple times over that that's not a coincidence.
But I'm also late to the party here!
My two least favorite characters in Resurrection are Adams and Foxx. This tale warmed me up to them, so very well done there.
I sort of wish there'd been a little more in the information revealed, since "Back Alley Deals" already namedropped Bowe. I know it makes sense in universe that this information would be revealed, it's just a tad underwhelming from the reader's point of view. That's pretty much my only gripe, as the rest of the tale had me both caring about characters I'd previously thought uninteresting and also interested in the politics of MC&D. The email at the end is a perfect cliffhanger/hint as well.
A well earned +1 from me.
What happened to Olympia?
Wait… When are Adams's first memories of the foundation? By any chance, are they about 9 years ago?
That might explain Clef's emails about Asset <I don't remember> and <I also don't remember>.
One thing I enjoyed about this tale were the subtle little hints that MC&D were trying to insult them by providing the barest minimum of their standards and it's still so obscenely opulent that only Aleksander picks up on it at all.
"Haha! So how do you like being treated like petty millionaires, you Philistines?"
Adams: "Oh my god this the best fucking hotel"
"Uh… what?"
"Foxx, Foxx, isn't this so cool oh my god look at how pretty everything is"
"Sure… whatever you say Adams, whatever you say"
I kinda hope SCP-953 eats LaFontaine's liver. With fava beans and a nice chianti.
"Adams took one bite of the dessert, closed her eyes, and just moaned. 'Oh my God, if this dessert were alive I'd fuck it right here and now.' "
Christ, mate.
Seeing Foxx know that they were being treated the barest of things that MC&D can offer was fun too
"Ah! Petty Americans! How does it feel, you are being treated like simple millionaires!"
"Foxx i want to fuck this dessert its so good"
+1
This is interesting.
