I'm not sure why I like this, but I like this. It's not especially gripping or unusual, but it's capably written, and turtle biots just feel like something the SCP wiki could use.

Inexplicable upvote.

Allow me to echo that statement. One minor nitpick: you have an Addendum 1488-02 and in the footnote you reference a Table 1488-02. That's kind of confusing, even if they're prefixed by "Addendum" and "Table". I'd recommend changing the footnote for clarity.

Done, thanks

Upvoted, but I will warn you that that reference to the government shutdown's gonna get dated reeeal fast, and wasn't necessary to begin with.

Alright. I thought it would be cute just because of the several levels of irony involved (here's basically an extraterrestrial lander program, being cleaned up by robots that resemble planetary landers, disguised as real landers) but several other readers have said the same thing and you've pushed it over the threshold from "meh" to "not even remotely necessary." Removing addenda…

This is simple and interesting. I think the core idea is novel, and has a discreet hook. I like it.

Great core idea with concise, no-frills execution.

I don't care for the idea. It's boring to me. Maybe I just don't get it. I am lacking in sleep after all.

I like it, but I can't see the pictures. Can someone save them and get them hosted on site, please? Author? Mod? anyone?

rcletus 22 Oct 2013 15:18

i have no idea how to host them on the site. last time it was either automatic or someone did it for me. Help?

Click on "Files" at the bottom of the page and follow instructions to upload the pic to the page, then change the image link in the article to point to the pic here instead of off-site.

Only complaint: footnote 3, and the percentage in paragraph 2 of the description. Either censor the whole thing, or not at all. However, I don't see this as a reason to downvote, and in fact quite like it. Good work.

rcletus 22 Oct 2013 21:59

honestly I have no idea why I censored those. de-censoring.

TL333s 22 Oct 2013 22:30

This is fun. The last addendum makes the whole thing just a little creepy around the edges.

IshmaelTibbs 22 Oct 2013 23:09

This hits this nice sweet-spot of weird for me. It's highly anomalous, quirky, with enough WTF/sec to intrigue, but not so much as to become incomprehensible. I wonder about what the hell is going on, without feeling like I'm missing things.
