I still think we should test his commitment to being concrete with a section of rebar and his [DATA EXPUNGED]

I like how the first post on 014’s discussion thread is about how the Foundation should shove a rod of metal up his ass.

Glad to know that people in 2009 were just as out-of-pocket as people nowadays.

Never change internet people. After all, this is exactly why it exists, for all intents and purposes nothing beats the freedom do say as they please :)

I am very late to the party, but I have to say, job well done, my good man.

I'm not suggesting a cross-experimentation log but I'd think that he'd get along fine with good ol' 176.

Agent Lost 24 May 2011 11:50

If he is turning into a statue, and he can't move, will placing him in front of 173 keep it from moving?

Flock of Whales 06 Jun 2011 16:31

That seems like a very good idea.

"…apart from his eyes and vocal apparatus, is to all appearances utterly immobile…"

So he probably blinks. And we don't mix SCPs because of unforeseen effects.

Slightly annoyed by the romanticism of the researcher note, but besides that, this is pretty good. Upvoted.

iamtycho 30 Jul 2011 23:26

I don't know, in spite of the rigid professionalism that is Foundation SOP, the hint of romanticism does feel like a slip of the tongue; i.e. that it's the kind of comment a researcher would make in that given circumstance.

hugteeth 12 Mar 2012 02:11

I agree. It adds a really strong note of realism to it, in my opinion. Obviously researchers deal with a lot of crazy shit, but this is awfully poignant, even to the point of giving professionalism a little poke in the eye.

Doktori 19 Dec 2011 15:02

It feels incomplete compared to other reports. Has there been any testing of his skin to see if it is truly turning to concrete or has any other biochemical changes? Are his clothes still intact, do his clothes have to be replaced, or is he naked? The researchers seem to have fallen down on the job in SCP-014's case.

I like it, but I think it would be better if it had some more detail to it. +1

DrSharp 23 May 2012 01:50

This one really makes me think, and I like that.

Almost Apples 27 Jun 2012 19:21

Have to agree with the general consensus; the note at the end really brings life to this. It shows genuine curiosity and interest on the part of the researcher, rather than the clinical detachment typical of SCP articles. Maybe it's not exceptionally professional sounding, but in a case like this, how could you not be interested?

Perfect old article, this is how I think a lot of articles should be. I can think of a shitload of new articles that could really, really use a trimming to something around this length.

Also holy shit it's gone up bu 50 votes since I last saw it.

thedeadlymoose 28 Jun 2012 02:30

What the fuck

WHEN DID THIS BREAK +73

I mean, I'm not complaining, I've always liked this one, but whaaaaaaaaat?

Anaxagoras 28 Jun 2012 02:31

Something significant about 73?

thedeadlymoose 28 Jun 2012 03:00

Only that it's the current article rating, and last I checked this article it was much, much lower. In the 20s or maybe 30s.

Sorts 28 Jun 2012 02:50

it is a good article early on in the series, one of the first ones that people see if they start from the beginning. It's not mind-blowing, but definitely worth an upvote and a place in anyone's headcanon

DisaffectedFeline 28 Jun 2012 03:01

Fucking butt ghost is higher than that. It means nothing nowadays.

Quikngruvn 20 Dec 2012 21:30

And now, almost six months later, it's up to +115. This, ladies and gentlemen, is how an article ages gracefully.
