I think I'm supposed to do one of these :)
I have many thanks to give:
Kensing- The creator of the Greazeburger Incorporated canon, and also one of my critters.
DrDromeus- Another one of my critters.
DodoDevil- An IRC critter.
Sirslash47- very in-depth critter on my draft page
All of my various idea critique critters and Greenlighters, which I think are mentioned above.
Any other critters I forgot can DM me and I'll add.
Croquembouche- Upmost thanks for dealing with my shit through various days of Javascript, HTML, and CSS questioning.
Couldn't have done it without yall. Thanks sm :)))).

So glad to see this up! I really enjoy the characterization, and you took it in a direction that I was both skeeved-out by and not expecting. Very in the spirit of Greazeburger, to be honest.

It took me 14 hours, two calculators, three pens, and the assistance of the neighbor's dog, but I managed to solve that last equation. Didn't expect the answer to be 6. It was worth it to view the rest of the file.

The characterization comes across really well in the communications, and the attention to detail in this SCP is inspiring. I'm a huge fan of the monthly report graph paper.

Congrats, that one formula really took me back. Definitely nice to see this posted on the wiki. +1

I literally just guessed on the last equation. I must be so lucky!!! Always love to see math anomalies.

What the hell is going on.

What is all this goofy shit. XD

And is Kensing made out of cloth? What? +1

I feel like I'm missing something here, why was the initial call made before the phone even manifested?

the initial call was made from a phone spat out by scp-5951

My. GOD! This SCP is full of so much life! The article has this incredibly charming tone of wackiness, but it never veers too far into overly jokey territory. The story and the slow progression of the characters figuring out the anomaly is really entertaining. None of the characters feel like they're there just to progress the narrative, their actions feel natural.

Upvoted without hesitation! I hope to one day write something that's able to match this level of quality and charm.

I do have one minor thing I'd suggest: include another crosslink to 5951 when it first mentions "SCP-5951-2." I feel like a reader might accidentally read it as "5921-2," and get confused as to why -2 was never brought up again.
