Another thing that leaves me asking "Where do these D-Class come from?" This person doesn't seem like a mass murderer or from anywhere consistent with being a political prisoner or refugee. Probably is just me.
Edit: Author, if are inclined, would you mind telling me where you imagined D-1366 came from and why they are now in Foundation custody?
My idea for 1366 is generally that she's a typical, decent woman who has had a string of very bad luck.
She had a significant other who was into highly criminal activities. Maybe they were in a gang, or maybe they were a corrupt person. Whatever they were, they were persuasive.
1366 loved them very much, and would do anything for them. Eventually this led to them convincing her to commit petty crimes: stealing a candy bar from a convenience store here, breaking a window there… Things escalated, as they tend to do, and eventually 1366 and this person became partners in crime.
The only problem was, 1366 was not quite as good at it as her significant other was. She wasn't skilled at lying, and the world this person opened up to her - one with objects and people that could do inexplicable things and powerful organizations engaged in a war for control of them - was not one she knew how to operate in. She was caught and summarily put on trial for a long, long list of crimes. She had stolen. She had assaulted. She had murdered, many times. Something of a romantic, she did it all in the name of love.
Her significant other testified against her to save their own skin.
She was put on death row. She hadn't realized the consequences were so high.
The Foundation, however, took her on as D-1366, mainly because she was already on their radar for association with a member of their world.
So, here she is, still in the world of mystical objects and people and warring groups. She tries to forget the things she did - she's turned over a new leaf. She realizes her previous relationship and what it made her do was unhealthy. Thanks to the monthly amnestics, she hasn't had any new lasting trauma at the Foundation. She is essentially as innocent as she was before.
Sorry for anything that's unclear or any issues in grammar; those are my ideas but I never typed them out as a narrative and didn't plan that one thoroughly.
If it's not clear, she's not quite as stable as she thinks she is, but she's a good person at heart. She's not strong in any sense of the word. She was unlucky and caught in a bad situation.
Does that make sense?
Wow, I think you're one of my favorite new authors on the site.
Well, very few women are on death row (currently 57 less than 2% of the death row inmate population) and only 13% of death row inmates are ever executed (which is presumably the actual D-Class pool). She also strikes me as exceptionally empathic for a mass murderer.
Thank you for your well thought out answer!
Thank you for being interested enough to ask for an explanation!
I might write a tale or series about 1366 eventually. The statistic improbablility of her situation is a testament to her wretched luck, I guess.
(account deleted)Might be a good idea to include a link back to the main article here, mate. ;)
I forgot that and had to look up how to do it, but it's fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out.
While I initially downvoted the skip proper, I enjoyed reading this log enough for an upvote, and an upgrade to a no-vote on the actual skip. The D-Class's dialogue feels good, and has that subtle creepy vibe that I enjoyed. As said above, the lack of additional powers or anything was nice. Fine job!
Adds to the article, but I kind of wonder what the takeaway is supposed to be, other than an emotional recounting of a 2274-related attack.
Practically, that's it's function for the most part. It was initially created because I included a piece of information - that victims made frightening, animalistic sounds during their outbursts - that broke the tone in the main article. An interview log was suggested, and works well for that purpose.
Additionally, I happen to find articles involving dialogue (interview or exploration logs, notes, etc.) exponentially more appealing and entertaining than those without.
I've received equal amounts of comments saying it made the article for them as amounts of comments recommending it be deleted because they couldn't see the purpose. I've decided to keep it in because I know and can articulate the purpose, and I like it a lot.
Does that make sense?
Part of me is irked by the security agent's resort to lethal force; in my short stint as a CO, I never saw firearms in the jail. Obviously, the Foundation doesn't have to answer to anyone for dead D-Class so they'd be more lax about lethal force escalation, but this still feels like the agent's trigger finger was too itchy. Further, I don't feel that this supplement adds anything to the SCP.
Closing Statement: D-1366 was given a Class-C amnestic immediately following the interview. No long-term psychological impact has been observed.
I know I'm nitpicking here, but is the last sentence really necessary?
like, if we pump full of drugs so he forgets the WHOLE event, there is nothing left that could have any psychological impact.
that's one part of the idea to amnestics. forget the terrible things you've seen so you don't turn insane.
