Interesting… So, time still passes for the user when they're being "slowly" teleported from point to point? 3-5 kilometers an hour isn't very fast…

This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-429.
Kinda reminds me of The Jaunt. Maybe you could make it a bit faster, though …
It's… interesting. From what I gather of the capture, the device not only makes a person perceive the travel distance, but also makes their bodies experience it as well. You should definitely put that in there… somewhere. That's vital.
Just noticed this.
List of controls: control 6's function is unknown
Later: Control 6 adjusts the clock face to the local time
thought you should know and rectify this
At a perceived speed of 3 km/hr, going 12 km will only take four perceived hours, hardly a dehydration risk. Now, if you don't plan right, you may run the risk of a burst bladder, but that still doesn't seem very likely in four hours.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this be Safe? While interaction can be dangerous, this seems to fall into the "leave it alone and nothing bad happens" category.
It definitely needs refining, as Quik, Jorum, & Thunderbird have pointed out. This alone, however, was enough to earn my upvote:
The time elapsed in such cases appears to be significantly higher than normal, with the activating subject typically arriving in a state of advanced decay.
It's simple, straightforward, sufficiently dry/technical, and immediately set my imagination off running in vividly horrifying directions. That right there is a little slice of what SCP writing should be.

Examinations of SCP-429's inner workings have revealed only a clockwork mechanism that drives the clock mechanism and joins it to some of the controls on the exterior
This sounds akward. I'd suggest something like:
Examination of SCP-429's inner construction reveals a clockwork mechanism, connected to the exterior controls, which drives the clock face.
On duplicates of SCP-429, the controls are either not connected to the clockwork (controls 1, 5 and 7) or simply alter the displayed time at varying rates (controls 2, 3, 4 and 6).
What duplicates? Presumably recovered from the inventor, but needs to be noted somewhere I think.
