I think this is a really interesting concept. I noted at the beginning it states that it is resilient to heat and pressure, and I was annoyed that this was mentioned, because why would they test for this? I'm glad you addressed this in the logs, and it serves me right for being judgmental before finishing the article.

However, I feel like the main story here doesn't go anywhere that I at least found interesting. I feel like it is rather standard: Device lets researchers see the future, use it for short term benefits, only to realize that the world ends far enough into the future. In that regard, it doesn't feel too different from what SCP-2003 was going for.

Finally, while some of the cross-links feel well implemented, i'm not keen on this SCP having an origin resulting from another SCP, as well as being responsible for the creation of another SCP, especially one as well known as 1322.

So, overall, it's going to be a no-vote for me. That being said, the concept for the idea, as well as Chrono-Link, is interesting.

Thanks so much for the feedback!

I know trying to create an origin story for 1322 is sort of a big deal, but I was of hoping in the article that it would be subtlety clear this scp actually exists in the universe that scp 1322 leads into (ie. its stored in site 221, the reversed version of 122). Because its mentioned in the 1322 article it was that alternate dimension that created it in the first place by accident, and I also realize they mention it was from quantum experimentation, but I figured why would the people trying to kill you tell you the true origin of where their space time portal came from.

Well, on that last point, they had no beef with the Foundation until several years after explaining how they made the wormhole. They only hated the Foundation towards the end, after the Foundation made their species predominantly sterile with a flu vaccine. Toward the beginning they were very amicable and open, at least by my understanding.

I think that while the SCP is interesting, having it be the result of another SCP, and being the origin of another SCP, weaken the article as a whole. I think that removing those connections would help the article as a whole.

I pretty much agree with the others. It's not as creative if this SCP was created by one SCP and then becomes the origin of another, somewhat famous SCP, so I ended up no-voting.

This one is showing its age

The story of this is unrelated to Hartle, so when I saw that crosslink it legitimately felt like a Wikiwalk inclusion.

Overall the story is more just the logical sequence of events that would follow. Nothing wrong with articles that dig deep into that but this didn't go far enough imo — the first three logs are kinda boring/entirely expected and then once we get to the super deep time logs we don't get to see the most interesting bits, we just hear about it second hand via text message.
