I'm definitely no fan of the "Serpent's Hand member breaks into a Foundation site to send a message!" trope. However, I did like this a lot, for the same reason I enjoyed We Have Dismissed That Claim as a counter to SCP-1050. I like reading about the debunking of an anomaly in a practical way, and this was a genuinely interesting read.
Alright, I’ll put this in simple terms: bogeymen are figments of the collective child imagination.
Dreams can still terrify, but they can’t please or birth bogeymen. In fact, they provide an escape for the child, a deprivation to the entity.
These two lines are what gave me the enthusiasm to secure my upvote, and —
I've looked at everything that could give me some insight into the creation of this SCP-080, considered the matter tirelessly, and not one thing would imply that it should exist.
This would only make sense in the SCPverse, so I felt it added a layer of "realism" to the article and setting ("It shouldn't exist, but it does anyway because it's anomalous").
