I love good scips, and I love the assassination of war criminals. +1
What'd I tell ya? Fascists die, you don't fuck it up horribly, you get a +1.
I assume this implicitly ties into the Broken Masquerade canon? North Korea going catatonic would seem to account for the event described therein, if I remember correctly.
There's gotta be a more elegant way to do things than repeating [three-crescent symbol] over and over though. Does ๐๐๐ reliably render on other people's machines?
if your reading this your gay
The three crescents do actually represent something else in one of my skips that hints at the craft's origin, but it's a secret, one that I'm debating putting in the "leaks" thread if this stays up. Or, I could tell you in private.
As for this being the cause of the whole Broken Masquerade thing - I personally haven't read that canon, but if people want to accept this as the cause, I won't mind, and I'll include some specifics about what actually happened in incident 2578 under the collapsible.
17:15: Containment staff of SCP-1427 terminated in a simultaneous Impaler Event without warning. E-mails of apologies sent to the containment staff's families from SCP-2578-D.
17:29: SCP-2578-D sighted in the stratosphere over Pyongyang, descending rapidly from high earth orbit.
17:31: SCP-2578 infiltrates the containment area of SCP-1427 and begins direct bombardment with projected energy weapons on the ends of its "leg" attachments.
17:32: 1427 sustains heavy damage and snaps in two. SCP-2578-D begins to retreat, apparently leaving the stele for neutralized.
17:34: As an apparent defense mechanism, SCP-1427 begins to exhibit higher-than-usual output of electromagnetic energy, causing irreversible psychological damage to all those who were previously under its control.
17:36: SCP-2578-D returns, latches onto both halves of SCP-1427, and rapidly ascends into high Earth orbit.
18:12: Message from SCP-2578-D to Dr. Naismith:
"[three-crescent symbol] is victorious. Regrettably, I could not stop the stele from delivering its cowardly parting shot toward its slaves. Even so, their current plight is better than life as it had been only a day prior. I thank you for your assistance, friend.
"Also, I have sustained heavy external damage from expending this much energy in a short period of time, so if any tyrants come up while I'm in auto-repair for the next week, I'm afraid they'll have to wait a bit longer."
19:53: The two halves of SCP-1427 are seen by a Foundation satellite, drifting in the direction of the Sun.
If you don't mind me asking, why isn't that in the skip? I mean, you even have the times and everything thought out
…you know what? You're right. Update forthcoming.
So I'm guessing this thing came from Corbenic, given the ๐๐๐.
That raises some serious questions! Why does this thing care about killing fascist leaders if it originates from the afterlife? Does it want to send fascists back to its home plane? Is it stuck on our plane? If I had to guess I'd think it was some sort or "judge" entity that either tortures fascists in Corbenic or alternatively, kills them in such a way that prevents them from reaching the afterlife at all.
This one is gonna leave me guessing.

You're on to… the gist of it.
That settles it, I'm posting in the Leak.
For a while, it felt as if I were talking to a wall in the back-and-forth with Mr. Jong-Un, but a bronze stele is close enough. It seems a more direct approach is needed for liberation.
FYI, Korean names are usually styled [SURNAME]1 followed by [GIVEN NAME].2 It is technically plausible to say "Mr. Jong-Un", but "Mr. Kim" would have been the default.
While I like the article, and I gave it an upvote, I do want to say that I'm not really a fan of the image caption. Mostly because I feel like it's pretty obvious who it's supposed to be under the black boxes.
Got me there. It's totally anonymous now.
So I decided to see if the latitude in the image matched up with any real life locations…
Go Cubs, yeah?
