Thanks for critting!
Emotional Aspects
All the emotional investment into the god is going to be done via two things:
A; Interviews with the protesting computers, which reveals the very recent state of the god, having shirked their duties and withdrew from communication,
and B; Records from the computer console which shows the very beginning of the god up until its discovery and containment. We'll then switch to interviews for the rest of the article. Personality-wise, the god will start out acting strong and all-mighty, which it certainly can be, but as more and more times goes by and the more use by its owner, it starts to realize that, despite the large amount of digital believers it has, it likes the upkeep that the owner does more. It, however, cannot communicate this appreciation, though, because the researcher doesn't use the console, and this, alongside the growing responsibilities of a medium-sized religion, causes it to burn out and withdraw from everything. It only started emitting Akiva during the lunch break after the researcher comments that he should get a new one considering how long he's had it.
Akiva
During the article, the Department of Theology discovers that prayers, rituals, and other targeted religious things, alongside admitting ambient Akiva, directly sends Akiva to the god in question in the form of Tithes. However, tithes from digital and other non-physical entities are weak, and don't send as much Akiva as physical people can. In other words, not very nutritious, and in the words of the god itself, aren't very tasty, which also makes it not like its current pool of followers.
Luckily enough, the act of the researcher keeping the computer functional and clean sent small amounts of physical tithe, which is much better, and led the god to wanting more, which ties back into the emotional aspects.
Follow-Through
Over the course of the article, the consequences of the computer's onsite protesting will become more and more dangerous. When the Department of Theology uncovers tithes, alongside console logs/interviews that lead to the conclusion that the god is longing for a physical believer, they suggest that the researcher (who is a beginner by the way) becomes the "Lead Researcher" for the SCP and acts as its believer and gives it tithes. He agrees, mainly because that is a great resume filler for future positions, and that he does feel sorry for it.
The god is now integrated into the researcher's dorm room as a smart-room style assistant, though it still has the Macbook for ventures outside the room.
Now, is the implication that the Macbook likes the Researcher in a semi-romantic way? Yeah, definitely. I largely picture it as a similar relationship to SCP-7311 but they actually like each other.
Again, much thanks!
r. i think.

Downvoted, for the following reasons-

- Because I felt like it
I expect better in the future. Tighten up.
Fine..fine I'll add more rating modules. I'll even add a REAL quote from you. Goober.

I saw this article (this mighty fine article) some place on Reddit one day (you know how it goes) and Lude comes by with a massive wrench in his hand and he goes, “Hoss, what you reading there?” And I tell him what it is and he smiles and gives me a firm whack on the head with the palm of his hand and tells me the address of some party where everyone’s on X and so I ask him to leave and for once in his goddamn miserable life he does and I lock the barricades and I scrawl the rating modules on the wall and I press the plus button on all of them all of them because some nights in my dreams (or more accurately nightmares) I see the beastly face of TroutMaskReplica smiling up at me through the grates in my windows and I ask myself why I’m still here.
anyway please don’t kill my dog
your'e dog will live another day, square hulu..tch
