This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-1415.
I actually quite like this idea. It's somewhat like the rocket surgeon, but I find it taking bits of people's bodies a great change from him, and also it has a test log. The rocket surgeon needs a test log.
It's actually pretty snazzy, good concept, well written, voted up from me.
Why do you refer to it as a glove in some places and a gauntlet in others? Also, I would remove the LOLFoundation notes ("The coat luuuurves you!")
Giving bearhugs to the unsuspecting since 1872.
I hope you're happy, you terrible person. :P
(My original draft had even more Lolfoundation. I'm sorry but I'm a big fan of it… Guess nobody else is. Ah well.)
Double post removed.
Wikidot is getting weird. Tried to post. Post failed. Tried again. Post Failed.
Then one of the posts showed up under "Recent Posts" but not this thread.
Later on, both allegedly failed posts appeared on the thread.

Why was the D-class suddenly referred to as "D-FUCK-03" in the 4th test?
I'm also curious what would happen if the glove user and the glove target were both human and of the same sex.
This just feels like a lot of several loosely related ideas tossed together. It also reminds me too much of the way the drinks dispenser from hell works to be honest.
I haven't heard of it, and google turns up nothing. Link, please?
Damn, I just typed '.sea coffee'.
Anyway, SCP-294.
Edit: I'll clarify my point. 294 also draws substances from the body under the right circumstances. The link is tenuous, I'll admit, but it's enough to make me feel this is riding the same wave. But YMMV.
(account deleted)Oh fuck, I meant to see if the D-class would also inherit that chick's lactose intolerance -Dr. T█████ Then maybe you should have wrote that down under "Action" -Dr. A██
I'm getting tired of people making the Foundation seem like an organization in a Scary Movie film. It's like they hire Inspector Clouseau to test these things. If you want to give your article a fear factor, leave this shit out.
On a different note, I think that the sentience of the objects created definitely warrants further investigation.
Seconded. I'd get rid of that note post-haste. While a test to determine if stuff can be inherited through the gauntlet is a decent idea and certainly one a scientist might perform, having them screw up so stupidly just seems… well, stupid.
Also the idea of a scientist writing a complaint beginning with the words 'Oh fuck' or referring to the test subject as 'that chick' is pretty terrible.
A) Okay, I'll remove that.
B) Are they really sentient? I consider them all to barely have animal-intelligence, and even I don't know whether or not the bed has any sort of anomalous psionic properties. Either way, what should I do? Add more tests? Because I'd be okay with that. In fact, I was almost worried that testlogs were overused and I put too many.
I do like this article, it has a neat concept, even if it might be relying a -bit- too heavily on the squick. However, I have one fairly significant problem.
even I don't know whether or not the bed has any sort of anomalous psionic properties
This is a problem for two reasons. One, the author needs to be aware of everything that's going on in the article. Two, it'd be pretty easy to test that out. Just have a different D-class sleep in the bed. Unless the anomalous psychic properties only affect the D-class that it came from, but we have ways of checking that too. The point being, we're the Foundation, and we have ways of finding these things out.
Are they really sentient?
The Foundation would know this too. Very definitely.
You're confusing "sentient" with "sapient".
sen·tient/ˈsenCH(ē)ənt/
Adjective:
Able to perceive or feel things: "sentient life forms".
Oh, and while I'm at it:
Note: D-1415-04 has resisted all instructions to sleep in the bed, due to complaints that it "talked to her, and knew her by name".
Not, you know, because her hand suddenly disappeared and she might be a bit distressed.
I personally assume brainpower of created items depends on what the item is.
For example, the "car" might be about as smart as a beetle or something, able to understand ideas like "do not walk off cliffs" but won't be doing any abstract thinking. A cell phone or computer on the other hand…..
