This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-1658.
I rented a room in a filthy frathouse one summer in college, about 17 years ago. The picture instantly reminded me of what I saw when I first walked in: black writing all over the dingy white walls. It took three coats to hide; I could not paint over the disconnected ramblings fast enough. The community garbage can lived in the men's room which had broken windows without screens - by trash day every week, it was 10% maggots by weight. Two months later, lightning struck the building during a storm; the attic burned for an hour or so before the campus fire brigade put it out. Two days later, I and about 20 other renters were escorted by police to our rooms to collect our stuff. The fire, smoke and water damage didn't seem too bad (no damage to the occupied floors) but the building was condemned: I couldn't help but think there was more "unfitness" revealed by the post-fire inspection than we were ever aware of. This SCP brings all that back with an exclamation point. Kudos. +1
This is glorious. Seemingly sentient hive-minded fungus that hates the destruction of knowledge. Having written an SCP myself that WANTS to destroy knowledge, the counterpoint (unintentional I'm sure) is delicious.
Also:
For all of our brother POWERKNOWLEDGE who have joined us, avenge yourself, for you were been not-murdered.
That may be one of the greatest sentences ever written.
EDIT: Made note readable. Spaces are important!
The addendum is powerful in this article. And like Michael Atreus, the picture reminds me of something I've seen before.
Also,
"IS THIS OUR FATE"
All materials subsequently burned. Following burning, an outbreak of SCP-1658 was found in the Foundation Archives, contaminated over █████ original documents with the message "WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS". Documents have since been destroyed with backups made from digital copies.
I like this part.
Well done! +1
