Okay, THIS TIME I'm editing this in notepad before I post it, because I've accidentally hit the back button on my mouse twice and lost my progress…
First off, the link for a dense SCP that I need more eyes looking at and tell me what works and what doesn't. Since trying to work on replacing the in-wiki chat pane is giving me a headache, I'll post it here for some more discussion. I've updated it a couple times since I posted it before.
Backstory/thoughts/avenues for discussion:
After watching a bunch of sci-fi films and watching a nature documentary about ants, I had this idea for an SCP. It's a giant underwater (underwater mostly because the ocean is a large area that big stuff can be 'placed' and avoid having to handwave why nobody has found it) mass/blob thing. Sentient lifeforms and inorganic stuff that lands on it is absorbed by this blob, and can actually be recreated at will by the blobthing. The reason why it does this? Because, like aphids and ants, it needs another species to take care of it. Since humans are around, it uses humans, and grows a grass-like plant/fruit that both attracts its prey (ocean life) in, and also rewards humans for tending to it.
And here's the intended creepy part of it. Any sentient creature that it recreates has no idea that its a copy of a man the SCP once absorbed. Doesn't realize that the Underwater Research Facility its living in has been recreated by the SCP. Doesn't realize that he's the 10th or 11th copy of himself that's been made. Doesn't realize that the orders he's getting 'from the Foundation' aren't really from the Foundation, but from the SCP itself.
And the Foundation knows about it and let's it happen, because it's keeping the SCP alive and, as a side benefit, is creating something humanity can use.
Now, there's two SCPs that vaguely hit some of the same marks:
SCP-835 is an underwater creature with absorbing properties, but the tone is different. 835 rapes and dominates, mine is hugging and, if it thinks at all, thinks about mutual gain.
SCP-169 is another underwater creature, but is a lot smaller and isn't a mobile creature. Like I said, I 'placed' this thing in the ocean because I figured it's too big to ever be 'hidden' on land.
So yeah, that's the big-ass wall of text for an SCP. I figured I'd explain what I'm going for so that, given what I said, people can comment or suggest stuff.
