This must be the cutest ever threat to the world as we know it.
Just a theory, but perhaps the reason the mother was unaffected by SCP-734's powers is because of the lining of mucus and fluids in the womb. Anyone think this would make sense?
Probably not a bad idea…myself, I always thought it was some sort of "reaction" to the outside atmosphere…like hives, but it makes people melt. This also creates a slightly chilling idea: one of the first things they do after the baby is born is lay it on the mother's chest.
Personally, I'd like to see some kind of future time line where SCP-734 is all grown up. Well-educated, fiercely loyal, and very deadly, I can see him being one of the big Agents for The Foundation…always in gloves, gas mask, and special suit.
Remove military research and it'll be a plyss from me. The Foundation is an independent, international organization and I feel that it hasn't got any ties to the military. Other than that it's a damn good read.
Apart from that being a necropost (this article dates back to 2009, and the last comment was two years ago in 2010), the Foundation's involvement / relationship with various militaries is highly subject to individual headcanon. Though some see minimal involvement with militaries, others see close involvement. I kinda doubt Gears is going to change a positively rated article just because.
As SCP-734's anomalous effect only affects human tissue/humans in general, SCP-682 wouldn't even be in SCP-734's range of affection.
Also, SCP-682 has been shown to survive, adapt and regenerate to much heavier physical trauma/injuries. SCP-682 would easily recover from SCP-734.
Oh, so this kid - who is naturally lethal just to touch - could be raised to be a Foundation Agent, but sweet, innocent little Sigurrós - who is not dangerous solely by virtue of what she is, and besides which would never hurt anyone on purpose - deserves to be in a drug-induced coma for the rest of her life?!? Fucking Foundation bastards… >:(
(And yes, I know the SCP Foundation isn't real, but still, can anyone say "inconsistency"?)
239 is an okay article. 239 is also completely fictional. This is not 239's article. Discussion about 239 belongs on 239's comment page.
239 is not real. The Foundation's multi-canon is fluid and inconsistent. 239 does not necessarily exist within the same canon as this. 239 is not real. Stop acting like these things are real. Comment on the writing, comment on the idea, step on the other side of the fourth wall and look at it from a writer's perspective and just stop fangirling, for heaven's sake.
Stop being an annoying fangirl, please.
I get it you do not agree with the commenter above, but maybe you should just really calm the fuck down.
Even if I omit the fact that talking about other SCPs in other articles is nowadays normal, nobody forces you to accept "account deleted" 's opinion. And what's with the "fangirling"? That is like the third article you overreact about it. Are you so insecure about other people being fans of other people's work? Are you trying to imitate Echo? Or Bright? You are doing a pretty poor job.
Stop being an insecure wuss, please.
Makarenko, not only is the post you're replying to 498 days old, but your post is excessively vehement. Leave calling-out of behavior to staff, please.
Djoric has already been spoken to regarding this behavior. There is no justification for your insults towards him here.
Properly trained and conditioned, and of course wearing proper protective clothing, SCP-734 could be a Foundation agent. The Foundation has the opportunity to shape this kid's behavior almost from the ground up. Its anomalous properties, i.e. killing you when you touch it, are simple and easily controlled.
SCP-239 accidentally created an uncontainable SCP, and has pre-exiting personality traits that could be a major problem. Whether or not her danger is due to malicious intent is utterly irrelevant. It's a reality bender that causes mayhem except in carefully controlled circumstances.
tl;dr Different SCPs receive different treatment because they are different1, and their intentions or lack thereof are utterly irrelevant. Your logic does not hold even if these are in the same canon.

That and the Foundation must have the resources to get a few good developmental psychologists in to make the conditioning more effective.
I'm not even sure this is Euclid, given that the effect isn't contagious.
Agreed, though it might be due to the age of the article and changing rules as to what things mean (I have no idea what the classification rules were in 2009).
The designation "Keter" is assigned to subjects that both (a) display vigorous, active hostility to human life, civilization, and/or spacetime, and (b) are capable of causing significant destruction in the event of a containment breach.
As far as I can tell from the article, SCP-734 has no control over its ability, so it's not actively hostile. And as for the significant destruction in the event of a containment breach, I hardly think a baby is going to breach containment any time soon, and the effect isn't contagious, so I agree that SCP-734 does not warrant a Keter classification, and if possible, I would like to request permission to change SCP-734's object class to Euclid.
Denied. If you feel a change is needed, you are free to PM the original author and try and convince him of the validity, or ask his reasons for the classification.

Dr Gears. He'd probably change it if you managed to get his attention about it.

There's an awesome little tab at the bottom of the page marked 'History' that can tell you this information easily.

So they are stockpiling his blood for later use? Like weapons and researching? Craziness, that sounds deadly and scary!
Also, at 7-8 months they already feel he is above average in intelligence and physical aptitude? Seems a bit young but whateves.
