Okay I stayed up until four in the morning (on my birthday) to finish this fucking thing, so excuse me while I go pass out.

Happy birthday dude and good luck.
Living the dream, or dreaming the life?
Ahh, a real plasma rifle. Neat…
Wait, what? You just pulled a bigfoot, man!
An artifact that the Foundation needs to be destroyed. Nice. I am not a person very knowledgable in modern physics, so I don't know what "thermal equilibrium to thermal singularity" actually creates, but the rest I can, as a professional layman, understand well. I like the use of another -K class in an interesting scenario, along the danger of an inadvertent YK-class incoming.
Also, I loved the log; the idea of seven universes, a "perfect" one and a traveler assembling the minds is, once again, very intriguing. Reminds me of Nobody. Maybe even, if one loosened the leash in his fantasies enough, a meeting of alternate "GoI"s.
I have enjoyed the tale and appreciate the amount of work here. The only downside would be that it might be too much crazy sh*t happening for our own Nikola Tesla ( and you have to ask why him, not ex. Einstein), but that didn't bother me much.
+1
I don't know much about Tesla, but I like idea of him being a radical misanthrope. On what I am aware of, I would have pegged him for a self-loathing genius, but this is a fascinating character piece.
He was a major advocate of eugenics, I kinda took some liberties with that and turned his pragmatism up to eleven.
I just have to say that him apologizing not because he brought an activated doomsday device back with him, but because he couldn't make this universe worth saving, is a genius move.
I'm still not happy that he feels that way, even though that's probably the point.
I suppose one (cruel) solution would be to go universe-hopping to find one that's either currently empty (of sapient life) or one that looks at us funny and ditch the SCP in there.
The description utterly lost me at points, but the story made the whole thing +1
I think that's the premise for an existing 001 proposal…
This is a very big necropost but I don't see why Tessa CAN return to our universe but CAN'T send the bomb to an uninhabited one.
Good work, man. Solid stuff.
if your reading this your gay
Solid work, well written. But it holds the bold problem of 'This is unavoidable, we are truely doomed, to death do us wait'.
The only thing I would add is the O5s or some such advocating dumping this device into some sort of awful reality/universe [we have more than a few ways into A LOT of worlds]. Then my stingey complaint would be null.
+1 anyways.
Maybe if there was something about having 507 dump it in another universe?
Wow, so Tesla thinks he's qualified to judge the fate of our entire universe because he spent a couple weeks in another and decided the grass was instantaneously greener. Thanks a lot, arsehole.
I reeeally dig the extradimensional, ticking doomsday device and the addendum. Great job.
+1
Hrrrm.
On the one hand I rather like the idea of a universe destroying bomb that's been located in this universe because it was the least worthy of survival of the available options. That's a fun if nihilistic concept. And I also like entropy reversal as the method for this universe-ending destruction.
On the other hand, too much about the Tesla diary doesn't work for me. There are some small and correctable errors with grammar and punctuation throughout that don;t help, but overall I just came away feeling that the whole experience was poorly expressed on Tesla's part. Given how much of the weight of the article needs to be carried on the back of that diary entry, it really needed to sing, and for me it doesn't.
Neutral vote.
Tesla's decision was still astonishingly arrogant.
That and preposterously reckless. This thing is set to go off in 300 Earth years. Six of the greatest minds from six different universes are gathered here, who invented the flipping device, and the only thing any of them can think of to do is dump the thing in Tesla's universe and twiddle their thumbs as hundreds of their greatest minds live and die without ever knowing of the devices existence, let alone actively working to stop it?
Okay, so the entire article stands upon the story of Tesla. Otherwise it's a WMD-fakeout replaced with a universe time bomb. This is not interesting. The story has to make it interesting.
I didn't really like the story. For something that's told in first person, I didn't get any insight into Tesla's character, except for this vaguely referenced feeling of inadequacy. I have literally no details about the alternate universe other than that it's a utopia (which is…like, it's such an interesting thing to explore! or maybe it's just tesla's inferiority complex hmm), and no details about this antagonist person. Like, he's literally just this shadowy figure that does a bad thing for no reason and then vanishes cackling into the night.
i'm also getting increasingly sick of alternate universes, so there's that
anyway, -1 on the brink of a neutral. I definitely like some parts, like where we'd be willing to cross-neutralize because hey we're not dumb, and the description of the device itself. the problem is that those parts were in the skeleton of the article, not the meat.
