This was interesting. You all know it's a collab too, right? I'm curious to see what people come up with.

Oh, man, the interviews with the already existing scrolls were pretty heartbreaking.
Ooh. These are excellent.
if your reading this your gay
Even with the thought that maybe the sadistic researcher was fired or something, I just don't like the amount of (essentially) torture going on. The water test I can understand being legitimate, and resulting in an accidental death of an SCP-318-1 instance, but the researcher was just being an ass for a bunch of tests.
Dr T█████ is pretty much the only redeemable part of this log, imo. -1
This could be used to give immortality. Just set up a suit for one of these things and have an image scanner that has certain outputs…
It's not the experimentation with pain/damage that bothers me so much as the crushing isolation to which these beings are now subjected at the hands of the Foundation.
My mom did some consulting on an IACUC (International Animal Care and Use Committee) for a pharmaceutical company, and they paid her to take some certification courses online every year, which she did, once. Subsequently, she passed the cash on to me to take the rest of them for her. The contents of the tests did not change from year to year, trust me: it was easy money.
The purpose of the IACUC is to make sure the company is confirming to certain ethical standards set forth for the treatment of animals used in experimentation. Among these standards are requirements for the keeping of animals that live in groups and/or form strong social bonds, like dogs, or crows: they must be allowed regular social interaction.
I understand that the scrolls aren't people, nor are they animals, but they are obviously sapient. Animals with less cognizance than these scrolls get more concessions.
Certain members of the Foundation have used the idea that some of the beings they contain aren't human (simply humanoid) to justify treating them… In whatever terrible way they happen to need to treat them for the greater good, and fine, whatever helps you sleep at night, but that doesn't mean we get to treat them that way for no reason, or because we feel like it. Some of these beings may not be human, but they are still animals, and animals have some rights.
Or maybe I'm wrong. Just another two of my cents that I've managed to put in a place where like 3 people are ever going to see them.
The author of the article posted in the main discussion "Feel free to add to it" so I added the collaboration tag
"The Foundation is cold, not cruel." I think these experiments step over that line, and that they should have figured out that damaging the paper makes them feel pain corresponding to a human body after the first few tests. This…is excessive.
