This makes me so happy.
It's an article the SCP wrote about itself to try and get people to let it incorporate them into its biomass. The title was referred to how they found the document.
if your reading this your gay
It gives me the warm fuzzies just thinking about how it wrote that.
Don't you think it'd try to label itself as Safe, though?
Labeling itself as Euclid means that its actions are unpredictable, and it can't be easily contained. The containment area will have to be maintained, and maybe the scientists want to do tests with it.
If anything, calling itself Euclid will try and subtly implant the idea into these people to get close to it.
Also +1, good stuff here.
I'd love come be incorporated with you. <3
Living the dream, or dreaming the life?
A note slid under a door. A rookie on patrol. The note is found, read. The rookie reports to his supervisor posthaste. The supervisor grins. The note is archived.
Behind the door of Office 142, a researcher laughs.
The rookie will never live it down.
This is my headcanon.
I'm kind of confused, but I still like this so up-voted.
First, wouldn't the door to a room with some kind of monster-thing in it be airtight and thus impossible to slip a note under, and which SCP is this?
The real 142 is just a somewhat OTT one-armed bandit not an assimilating monster.
All in all, good tale if a bit confusing.
1) I don't see why, provided there's no gap large enough for the entity to escape or otherwise manipulate the door. Airtight rooms have their own problems and are rather expensive. No need to use those resources when they're not necessary.
2) It's not any extant SCP. That's why it's blacked out. 142 is just the number of the cell; presumably it's the one hundred forty-second cell on that particular site.
He still has a point. If this thing is just there, in this room, directly connected to the hallway, what's it going to do the moment that door is opened for any reason?
Also, as this note evinces, there is a reason. The gap gives it access to things for "synthesis." The possibility can't be ruled out, going by this alone, that it could synthesize the mice and spider together and release this under the door.
And the Foundation needs to hire an exterminator because they have mice in a sterile scientific facility.
Who says it's directly connected to a hallway? If nothing else, there's going to be an antechamber of some sort for holding testing equipment.
So far as the Foundation was aware, it could only bond things to itself, making it less of a concern.
And there's food in the building. Therefore there will be mice. I imagine the Foundation does fumigate as often as practical, but they're not going to stop all mice from entering, ever. Mice, flies (and therefor spiders), probably rats as well. It's a battle we've been fighting for as long as we've had agriculture, and we haven't won it yet.
I reached to downvote once I saw the object class. I moved my cursor away when I saw the blackboxes in the item number. I upvoted when I read the bit where it was trying to convince me that it was harmless. I wanted to upvote again at the end.
I changed the name slightly to make things a touch clearer.
