This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-4972.
Deliciously bizarre. My every concern was laid to rest as I proceeded through and I was honk this is the trippiest thing I’ve read here in awhile. +1
Have to mention excellent specific containment procedures that tee up the rest of the article perfectly.
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
It's up! Yay! I loved this when criting it, it's just such a great concept. The last interview had me hooked the whole way through!
Ok, could someone explain what's going on in the article? I was very confused.
There are bits and pieces of this that feel rather familiar (SCP shows up in containment out of nowhere! Language fuckery! Undone by our thirst for knowledge!) but in the end I felt like it added up to a satisfying and immensely enjoyable whole.
Also, the "sick" exchange is probably my favorite offhand D-Class exchange ever.
Also also, welcome back, we missed you! My favorite time of year is when you leave your tanhony hole to grace us with your malfeasance. One more article and we get six more weeks of winter!
This one made my brain itch uncomfortably. I really like it.
My understanding of this is that the Adaptive Containment Chamber is exactly what it sounds like, something Thaumiel-ish that some Foundation built - probably through anomalous means - that can adapt itself in order to successfully secure and contain anything placed inside of it.
One day, the Foundation decided to put something very powerful in the ACC, probably as some manner of last resort, or to test the upper limits of their creation. But the ACC, as it turns out, has no upper limits, and whatever was put inside of it couldn't be properly contained without bending time and space and actively altering reality to accommodate it. So… that's exactly what it did.
And it worked! Kind of. Whatever's inside is being successfully contained, but the ACC has had to stretch itself into a very weirdly-shaped box that spans time and space (and doesn't play well with the rest of baseline reality) in order to do so. Anyone who enters the ACC will become stretched through time and space in the same manner, and when they come out… they don't snap back to their original 'shape' correctly, which is why some D-Class walk through walls, others have adverse effects on the flow of time around them, and Dr. Carè ended up becoming spatially and temporally incomprehensible.
I'm likely wrong. Nevertheless, I greatly enjoyed reading this. I love pieces like this that are incredibly bizarre, but make just enough sense for me to piece together my own weird little puzzle. :) +1
This is "crazy dialogue" at its best. Extremely unnerving.
