I'm taking a break from writing Lord Blackwood to present a twist on the old "The ancient prophecy says a chosen one will come to save us all" trope.

This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-1259.
I like it, but I have a niggle:
"…analysis of these images, however, indicates that the photographed text is grammatically incorrect and consists entirely of a random arrangement of letters incomprehensible as a legible document."
Isn't the phrase "grammatically incorrect" a bit unnecessary?
You could probably lose "grammatically incorrect and consists entirely of" without changing the meaning at all, in fact.
Smapti, you have been cursed. From now on, anytime you write a non-blackwood story, people will say "this is good, but more blackwood!"
You have been…
typecast!
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
Beautiful. I'm reminded of SCP-572.
Should "Global Occult Commission" be "Global Occult Coalition"?
On my first glimpse of the page image I thought "the Dead Sea Scrolls from Evangelion", which leads me to wonder if an anime fan would read an XK-class event involving giant robots piloted by emotionally screwed up teenagers.
About the GOC field operative: did he already know all that stuff about the Foundation, or is the implication that the SCP someone leaked that knowledge to him?
Dr. Parsons was a senior Foundation linguist exposed to SCP-1259 during initial study, before its anomalous effects became known.
Why didn't they give him amnesiacs in an attempt to cure him? Did the Foundation think that seeing what would happen to a Foundation member with extensive knowledge about SCPs would be worth losing a valuable employee with lots of skills?

Some of it was probably his personal observations from being in captivity, while the read he got from the scroll.

Because we didn't realize at the time he'd come under the effects of an infohazard and it was believed that he was simply burning out and needed some time off duty. Considering the potential side effects of amnesiacs, we probably don't dole them out like candy any time a senior researcher is feeling uneasy.

Oh, okay, they hadn't figured out it was an infohazard until after he'd committed suicide.
