Item #: SCP-2956
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: A Foundation-operated bot (I/O-SILVER) is to review IntSCPFN servers for references to Site-5. Corrupted files are to be isolated and reported to the on-duty server administrator for review and correction. All records regarding SCP-2956 are to contain repeated affirmations that there is no Site-5.
Description: SCP-2956 is a phenomenon involving the anomalous alteration of internal Foundation files. Affected documents are modified to include references to a fictitious facility ('Site-5'). Although it is not yet understood how these references emerge, documents which repeatedly affirm the non-existence of Site-5 have demonstrated significant resistance against SCP-2956's effect. For this reason, personnel are to be reminded that there is no Site-5.
Depictions of Site-5 are inconsistent, but include several recurring details:
- It is located on a man-made island.
- It contains numerous anomalies centered around cognitohazardous effects.
- It employs Professor Emelie Roth1 as a senior researcher.
As of 19/09/2010, it has been determined that occurrences of SCP-2956's effect are decreasing at a linear rate. At its current pace, SCP-2956 will cease all activity by 2017.
Personnel are to be reminded that there is no Site-5.

SCP-2956 (15/02/2010).
Item #: SCP-2956
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Foundation personnel are to work with naval and aeronautic authorities to ensure no traffic comes within 50 kilometers of SCP-2956. Assigned vessels are to enforce a 4 kilometer perimeter around its location. SCP-2956-A is to be kept on-site in a disassembled state. A Foundation-operated bot (I/O-SILVER) is to review IntSCPFN servers for references to SCP-2956. Corrupted files are to be isolated and reported to the on-duty server administrator for review and correction. All records regarding SCP-2956 are to contain repeated affirmations that there is no Site-5.
Description: SCP-2956 is a 6.4-hectare (16-acre) artificial island located 75 kilometers south of Greenland. It consists of numerous concrete structures in a state of severe disrepair. Satellite imagery indicates the presence of a single pier on its south-eastern side, along with significant amounts of vegetation.
SCP-2956-A is an anomalous transmitter discovered on SCP-2956. While active, this transmitter exhibits the ability to alter internal Foundation files. These modifications refer to a fictitious Foundation facility ('Site-5') and identify SCP-2956 as its location.
Although it is not yet understood how these references emerge, documents which repeatedly affirm the non-existence of Site-5 have demonstrated significant resistance against this effect. For this reason, personnel are to be reminded that there is no Site-5.

Item #: SCP-2956
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Foundation personnel are to work with naval and aeronautic authorities to ensure no traffic comes within 50 kilometers of SCP-2956. Assigned vessels are to enforce a 4 kilometer perimeter around SCP-2956. These vessels are to monitor SCP-2956 for activity while deploying directed broadband ECM systems toward it. Any entity approaching the perimeter (either to leave or enter SCP-2956) is to be immediately destroyed via long-range naval bombardment. All broadcasts originating from within this perimeter are to be disregarded. No attempt is to be made to communicate with SCP-2956 or any entity within 4 kilometers of it.
Description: SCP-2956 is a 6.4-hectare (16-acre) artificial island located 75 kilometers south of Greenland. It consists of numerous concrete structures in a state of severe disrepair. Satellite imagery indicates the presence of a single pier on its south-eastern side, along with significant amounts of vegetation. It is inhabited by an unknown number of anomalous humanoid entities (instances of SCP-2956-A).
SCP-2956 and its inhabitants exhibit several cognitohazardous effects which are not yet fully understood. The most notable of these effects include an ongoing anomalous broadcast (SCP-2956-B) containing numerous lethal memetic agents. The deployment of directed ECM systems has demonstrated significant efficacy at suppressing this broadcast.

To Do list of things to do
- Fewer audio logs, that was a problem with the original.
- The use of "«" makes audio logs annoying to keep track of, which just made me frustrated due to my ADHD. There's no reason why it shouldn't be formatted normally.
- "► ACCESS: SCP/XXXX/transmissions/002.log" in 5c is way too obvious with how chi-2 became the monster. 006 is too wooden and the monster gives up the act too early.
- The adjectives used in the audio logs tend to not be clinical at all.
- This thing seems consistently Keter, not ever really being Euclid. I get that it's an escalation/thread situation, but it still bothers me.
- Should "► ACCESS: SCP/XXXX/transmissions/002.log" on tab "5c" be a S.O.S. signal with frequent references to Site-52? Then have the subsequent iteration of 002.log be the actual audio log, which would throw doubt into the whole thing by implying that the S.O.S. was just an instance of the anomaly?
- 5d still needs an image, though i haven't found one i like. maybe make that image be of a noticeably different island?
- transmission 006 seriously bothers me. it just kinda plays our hand too early. it's good and all, but i think it would be better if we cut it. Agreed. As I think Seagull suggested (?), let's keep the reader guessing who is the monster and if there is a monster at all, not some delusion.
- Maybe show Site-5's decent into madness? A whole "Thing" scenario, with suspicion and paranoia and such.
- If we're keeping the 5e neutralized scenario, then I'm going to strikethrough Euclid to imply that the reader is as affected by the memetic anomaly as the characters are.
- Title proposal referencing our typefaces and writing themes: There is no Site-5
Writers' Angles/Themes
- The Skip, the monsters, the site, all are real. Potential plot idea: Site-5 went through basically a site-13 like event, with multiple skips interacting which each other bringing shit down. Potentially will take influence from stuff like SOMA, Amnesia, The Mountains of Madness, and The Thing.
- Absolutely nothing about this anomaly is real, including the island. I'm not sure what I'll take influence from at the moment.
- As you go deeper into the anomaly, you access older and older revisions of the server. (e.x. first doc is scpnet, second doc is archival servers, third doc is older archival servers).
Ideas:
<Hippo>: IDK if this helps moklin/not_a_seagull but, in my notes, I saw one other thing I forgot about
<moklin>: Hippo: spit
<Hippo>: 'possible subversion: there really is no site-5. The horror is that we've been telling you the truth all along and you didn't buy it'
<moklin>: motherfucker i like that
Proposing that this article ends as stating that it was a (retro-causal?) CK-class restructuring event which manifested when people believed that the events, objects, concepts, and people contained within the narrative of Site-5 are real. The more people that believed in Site-5, the more real it became. Hence, "There is no Site-5". This allows for a great deal of ambiguity while both maintaining the premise that Site-5 is not actually real and allowing for accompanying tales. Don't know why it wouldn't be stated outright, though.
Order Of Events:
From what I understand, we've collectively agreed on leaving it ambiguous, with Dr0Shadow vouching for leaning towards making the reader think it was a lie all along. With that said, let's get this wild party started. Recommending this if you want to get jazzed for writing: https://open.spotify.com/embed/user/hziulquoigmnzhah/playlist/02jtpS3X2HDjnSOqx05MAk. This OOE is about the events of Site-5 assuming that Site-5 is legit. Note that each bit that is formatted in our usual way is a proposal. Normal text is for stuff we've all agreed on by placing this: ✔, next to proposals we like.
- Monsters (gonna call 'em -As) are created/found/contained in Site-5. -As have the ability to eat people and then become near-perfect copies of them.
Seagull's Personal Project
Some notes about my project:
- Site-5 was destroyed in the explosion. SCP-XXXX is just some creature impersonating Site-5.
- Containment Area A is where the special stuff happens. The lower areas of CAA are a "portal" to SCP-XXXX's "stomach," which is a weird replica of the world
- I don't have any special plans for Containment Area B or Office Area A, other than exposition. If you want to do something with them, go nuts.
- Only one member of Z9 will make it out alive. He's actually one of the body snatchers impersonating a person.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid This seems more of a safe class to me (by the description): doesn't really do much outside of minor altering the foundation's files, which can easily be fixed by the bot. Then again I can see the eucild argument, as it does alter vital info needed to keep things locked up. vouching for euclid. it's only partially contained and could mutate into a fanfic plague at any point.
Special Containment Procedures: At the present time, SCP-XXXX is uncontained. A Foundation-operated bot, eris.aic, is to monitor all Foundation-controlled file storage servers for instances of SCP-XXXX-1, which will be reverted upon identification.
Personnel are to be reminded that Site-5 is a fabrication of SCP-XXXX, and that there is no Site-5.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the recurring phenomenon responsible for the creation of instances of SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 are anomalous modifications to internal Foundation files to include references to a fictional Foundation site referred to as Site-5. Although it is not yet understood how these references emerge, documents which repeatedly affirm the non-existence of Site-5 have demonstrated significant resistance against SCP-XXXX's effect. For this reason, personnel are to be reminded that there is no Site-5.
Depictions of Site-5 vary, but retain three recurring details:
- Site-5 is located on a man-made island.
- Site-5 contains several anomalies with cognitohazardous effects.
- It employs Professor Emelie Roth3 as a senior researcher.
As of 19/09/2010, it has been determined that occurrences of SCP-XXXX are decreasing at a linear rate. At its current pace, SCP-XXXX will cease all activity by 2017.
SCP-XXXX was originally discovered on 10/02/2006, during anomalous modification of the internal file for SCP-2193.
Personnel are to be reminded that Site-5 is simply a fabrication of SCP-XXXX, and that there is no Site-5.
Addendum 01: Recovered Logs
Feel free to mess around with this. I don't think it needs to be too long. OK, so I understand that this makes sense in-universe, and you're kinda going for a 2747 vibe, but this doesn't grab me, since this is just kinda, normal stuff. There's no real hook here.
Now I'm going for the "weird stuff that shouldn't even be contained" angle. lmk what you think. isn't the whole point of this website that weird stuff is contained?

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2614 is to be kept on a pedestal within a sealed vault at Site-5, located inside Reservoir 5. The vault is to posses remote monitoring equipment, 5 automatic turrets (both ceiling mounted), and an open incinerator bellow the vault, which is powered by 10 auxiliary generators, as well as an emergency flooding system should aforementioned systems fail. Surveillance footage is to be filtered though an automatic cognitohazard censoring program. Under no circumstances are personnel allowed to access SCP-2614 for any reason.

i know bittermixin had a draft a while back with a similar loading design, though i don't know if he's still working on it. if he puts that out, i'm gonna link it here. Would probably require the use of some other character since you can't bold links, potentially re-doing all the dots.

SCP-XXXX (15/02/2010).
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Foundation agents embedded within the Greenland Coast Guard are to enforce a 10-mile intentional non-metric? 16 km if the distance is supposed to be the same but the units aren't. perimeter surrounding SCP-XXXX. In addition, agents embedded within space organizations are to erase SCP-XXXX from satellite images.
SCP-XXXX-A is stored in a standard Safe-class locker at Site-19. SCP-XXXX-B is stored in a body freezer at Site-50. SCP-XXXX-1 through 14 are to be contained according to standard humanoid protocols at Site-17.
Personnel are to be reminded that Site-5 is a fabrication of SCP-XXXX-A, and that there is no Site-5.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an uninhabited 6.4-hectare (16-acre) artificial island located 75 kilometers south of Greenland. It consists of numerous concrete structures in a state of severe disrepair, along with a pier on its south-eastern edge. There are no records of SCP-XXXX's existence before 15/02/2010.
SCP-XXXX-A is a transmitter recovered from SCP-XXXX. Prior to its recovery, SCP-XXXX-A broadcast anomalous signals irregularly that affected the Foundation databases at various sites in unpredictable ways. Notable examples include:
- Modification of Foundation database files to include references to a fictional Site-5
- Modification of Foundation database files to include various fictional testing logs not sure about this one, but it was the most recent test log i could find.
- Additions of Foundation Logistic documents that include fictional reports of personnel transfers and requests of resources to and from the aforementioned site.
- don't know what else to put here
SCP-XXXX-B is a human cadaver found next to SCP-XXXX-A at recovery. SCP-XXXX-B has been identified to be that of Foundation employee Prof. Emelie Roth, who went missing on ██/██/████. A full autopsy of SCP-XXXX-B is available in Addendum XXXX.2. is this what you guys were thinking? I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say that, but I like it. <— Ditto.
SCP-XXXX was discovered on 11/10/2010, following its appearance on the web-blog Island Patrol. Foundation assets seized the blog and prevented public release of the photograph.
In addition, it has been noted that several database modifications consistent with SCP-XXXX-A activity have been made, despite the containment of SCP-XXXX-A. Personnel are to be reminded that Site-5 is a fabrication of SCP-XXXX-A, and that there is no Site-5.
Addendum XXXX.1: Radio Log
The following conversation was recorded from Site-49, the closest facility to SCP-XXXX:

In addition, agents embedded within space organizations are to erase SCP-XXXX from satellite images. anyone know any good OTF/space scips i could crosslink to here?
SCP-XXXX-A poses a presently unknown threat level. Any instance of SCP-XXXX-A found outside of SCP-XXXX is to be terminated on sight.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an uninhabited 6.4-hectare (16-acre) artificial island located 75 kilometers south of Greenland. It consists of numerous concrete structures in a state of severe disrepair, along with a pier on its south-eastern edge. There are no records of SCP-XXXX's existence before 12/07/2003.
SCP-XXXX-A is the designation for multiple cognitohazardous entities known to exist on SCP-XXXX. The cognitohazardous effects exhibited by SCP-XXXX-A are currently poorly understood. Information about SCP-XXXX-A is, by definition, hazardous, and has thus been redacted from this document. Personnel inoculated against cognitohazards may view Addendum XXXX.1 for more details.
SCP-XXXX-B is a anomalous signal constantly broadcasted from SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-B contains numerous lethal memetic agents. The nature of SCP-XXXX-B is not yet entirely understood.

VOICE: My name is Professor Emelie Roth. I am a Senior Researcher at Site-5.
(silence)
VOICE: I'm going to be dead, soon. If they don't send someone to do it, it'll be the dehydration. Or the malnutrition. Or the lack of sleep. Hell, maybe I'll just end up taking my own life like the others.
(cleaing throat)
VOICE: Sorry. I'm being melodramatic. But given the circumstances, you'll forgive me. I've been stuck on this island for… fifteen years? I don't know. I've lost track. I'm the only one left, here; everyone else is dead. As to how this all came about…
(silence)
VOICE: Fuck. I don't even know where to begin.
(sighing)
VOICE: Alright, look. This thing, whatever it is… it devours us. And then it becomes us. Our bodies, our memories, our minds. It's been doing this for a long while. I don't know how long. We discovered it purely by accident. Dumb, stupid luck. Or maybe not, considering…
(heavy breathing)
VOICE: It probably went after the people who knew us. Family members, loved ones, friends, colleagues. Anyone who would have come looking for us, anyone who would want answers. Once it had them, it could… erase us. Since then, it's just been waiting for us to starve on our little island. But…
(silence)
VOICE: It made a mistake. It forgot what was on this island. The anomalies. I've been studying them, using them, figuring out a way to send a message. To undo what it did. To let people know that we exist. To let people know that this thing exists. You have to…
(heavy breathing)
VOICE: You have to stop it. I'll keep transmitting this signal. The effect should last a while even after the transmitter breaks down. Hopefully, if you can hear this, you can… you have to… stop…
(silence)
VOICE: I can't even go outside anymore. That's how it all began; somebody made the outside, not out of the site, but out there, and led it here. That's where it comes from, the outside. I can't even go back to the surface; I can only go down, down, down, but never outside.
(laughing)
VOICE: I think I've hit the bottom floor. Can't go back up, can't go down. I-I'm looking out the window, and I see what's outside. I-I really don't want to go out there, but, you know what they say. We all have to go outside sometime.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX shows no signs of further recurrence, and has been declared Neutralized. The following containment procedures are to be put into place should SCP-XXXX resume activity:
At the present time, SCP-XXXX is uncontained. A Foundation-operated bot, eris.aic, is to monitor all Foundation-controlled file storage servers for instances of SCP-XXXX-1, which will be reverted upon identification.
Personnel are to be reminded that Site-5 is a fabrication of SCP-XXXX, and that there is no Site-5.
Description: SCP-XXXX was an anomalous transmission which arbitrarily caused internal Foundation files5 to contain references to "Site-5", a fictitious Foundation-controlled Site reportedly containing various cognitohazardous anomalies. SCP-XXXX-A instances contained extensive reports and logs, which were universally corrupted in some capacity. Internal Foundation files containing repeated references to the fictitious nature of Site-5 were approximately 20% less likely to be altered by SCP-XXXX. For this reason, staff are to be reminded that there is no Site-5.
seagull please improve this: This is a basic outline of the thing that makes it seem like a lie. So my problem with this is that it can be very easily interpreted as the Foundation being compromised, though that might be a good thing.
You have one new message
ccalvin: Didn’t you send them the memo?
Something came up. I’m still working on it, so do you mind dealing with them? Reactivating Eris and whatever.

| Dr0Shadow | Talk 'ere for stuff not in the IRC I guess. |
|---|---|
| Dr0Shadow | If we have any problems with the monsters, we could maybe use SILVER (which maybe we should make an .aic?) as a vehicle for the things to operate. Maybe make them memetic or something :/. The autopsy being corrupted I feel might be a missed opportunity, but then again keeping the monster unknown is something to be considered. The monster's act kinda stereotypically psychopathic and creepy; Maybe make them more eldritch in behavior? |
| moklin | yeah i'm all for making them just flat-out never give up the act. make it more of a guessing game of whether the monster exists or if it's just memetic or something. |
| Dr0Shadow | Just realized this is a lot like Who Goes There?/The Thing. Maybe using that should be considered, as well as "At the Mountains of Madness", since we're considering influences. |
| moklin | OK, so this is based off of the inability to trust your senses and the horror of not knowing. Bearing that in mind, I propose that each of us formulates our own headcanon/writing path for this scip and play to that headcanon in what they write. That way, this thing will become a beautiful amalgamation of horrid inconsistency. I'm gonna go for the "none of this is real" angle. |
| Dr0Shadow | Sounds good. Should we be saying what angle we're going by, or keep it secret so we don't influence each other? |
| moklin | I'd say what angle each of us is going for, but if you don't want to divulge, feel free not to. |
| Dr0Shadow | Alright. If nobody objects, I'll be going with a "the monsters are real" angle. I'll probably develop it more beyond that simple premise though. You guys? |
| not_a_seagull | Sounds good to me. I'm gonna try to make the face document more of a hook. |
| Dr0Shadow | Umm Seagull? Why are you editing the reference tabs? EDIT: Clarification; I thought the 5xs and 10xs were reference material, not a part of our version. |
| not_a_seagull | Sorry 'bout that. Made the offset tabs. |
| moklin | I'm probably not going to be updating for a while, since I'm gonna get all my thoughts and plans in order over on one of my sandboxes. I'll still be looking here for your updates though. |
| Dr0Shadow | Can we freely add to the Ox tabs? Because if I wouldn't want too if you have a specific plan for them. |
| not_a_seagull | Feel free to. Talked to shaggy in IRC, got some ideas for the skip. |
| moklin | Honestly surprised that seagull hasn't yet turned the dot sequences into timers a la their author page. (would not recommend the loading pinwheel you used for that, it looks like it's having a seizure.) I'd do it myself, but I'm not good with that stuff. I'd recommend a loading bar (if that's not possible, I can whip a gif of one up in GIMP) or a slowly rotating SCP logo (again, I can probably make one in GIMP if you want). Gifs might take a while, since I'd have to learn how to do that from scratch. If the loading bar is used, we can just set the timer to stop after the bar does (I'd add ~3 secs for a grace period) logo wouldn't need any timing. Older iterations should probably load slightly slower. |
| not_a_seagull | Yes, I could do it. However, my main concern is that it would be distracting to readers reading the message. If not that, I can't tell how long it takes the reader to read through the error message, so they could would have to wait while the dots do their thing. (similar problem to the intro of 3747) |
| moklin | For the first problem, you could have it be a clickable to make the loading start, which ensures that the person isn't distracted. To address the second problem, two or three seconds at the max seems reasonable enough, though I understand if you still have reservations. |
| Dr0Shadow | Mu-0 is already a task force ("Maxwell's Demons"). I suggest we change it to "Sampi", Greek for 900, Koppa, (90), or a letter from the Glagolitic or Cyrillic alphabets. |
| moklin | Vouching for MTF Samekh-90 ("Samekh me a sandwich") |
| moklin | Added to O4, not sure if it's good or not. Starting to get worried that the approach of having no approach might not be for the best, since the draft might end up confusing in the worst possible way. Hopefully that's just my pessimism talking6. |
| not_a_seagull | I really think that having -ARC is too confusing. I'd like to do something like the "there is a new revision of SCP-2956, click to view" thing that was in the original. |
| moklin | Ok thought the offsets were supposed to be older and older revisions of the article so i thought having it be literally archived would be cool. Feel free to revert or tell me to revert. |
| moklin | OK I reverted the -ARC and added some crosslinks (I know that it adds an air of permanence to those sections, but that's not my intention. Feel free to get rid of them for whatever reason). |
| not_a_seagull | I'm not the biggest fan of the new crosslinks. A lot of them feel out of place, and too many crosslinks can weigh a scip down. (source: experience). |
| moklin | Fair enough. Feel free to remove any that you don't like. Hippo didn't like the 2719 crosslink in Roth's dialog. He said we aren't committing to connecting the things we're crosslinking. |
| moklin | ABANDONING SEPARATE HEADCANON IDEA, VOUCHING FOR TRYING TO GET AN ACTUAL STORY IN ORDER. |
| moklin | Dr0shadow has voiced complaints about the concept of this not being at all real, with the horror being that the reader never believed us. If I understand correctly, a major crux of their argument is that they wish to be able to write a tale based off of Site-5 being real. My argument against that is that you should not base an article's story off of an un-drafted tale/supplement that will be posted after the main article is. Furthermore, people have reimagined scips in the past, so while it might be a bit confusing for readers, it's not unprecedented. |
| not_a_seagull | Trying to revive this project. I'm going to be editing my personal project in the bottom part. If you guys want to contribute anything, feel free. |
| moklin | Officially dropping out of this collab due to inexperience. Feel free to decide whether or not I should be credited as a collaborative author if this gets posted. Hippo says that if this thing tanks, tell him. He'll want to know. |
<moklin>: Hippo: hey do you wanna look over what seagull, shadow, and i have come up with so far with site-5? it's very unfinished (FD-O4), but I was wondering what you thought about it. http://scpsandbox2.wikidot.com/collab:mok-dr0-seagull
<Hippo>: I can look, sure, give me a minute and I will peek (I also looked previously and saw people commenting on stuff in my sandbox Ididn't even think anyone knew about >_>)
<moklin>: fuck brb
<Conwell>: o/
<moklin>: ok am back
<Hippo>: FD is where it starts, moklin?
<moklin>: Hippo: yeah
<moklin>: Face Document
+++ ChanServ has given admin to Dexanote

*** LilyAFK is now known as Lily
<Hippo>: moklin: I like the setup of actually going through previous styles of Foundation documentation; like, in a way it's almost examining the history of the Foundation server structure/how documents are stored
<Hippo>: IE different file formats that are no longer used, etc
<moklin>: Hippo: that's seagull there
<moklin>: beautiful bastard
<Hippo>: that being said some of the formatting choices seem a little off to me, but I am *very* particular about formatting style
<Hippo>: like the error I used took me a looooong time to get just the way I wanted it to look
<moklin>: which formatting choices do you not like?
<Hippo>: so take my thoughts on that with a prescription-grade boulder of salt
<moklin>: i can forward to seagull
<Hippo>: eh I mean I almost don't even want ot elaborate
<Hippo>: because it's almost certainly just *my* preference
<Hippo>: which is irrelevant
<moklin>: well, irrelevant opinions got you to like, +600 total
<Hippo>: also: "might as well pay credit to hippo. actually now that i think about it that was probably an easter egg when hippo wrote it." <— nope this was not intended
<moklin>: so i wouldn't discount
<Hippo>: Well I doubt my formatting choices have much to do with that xD but! uh I could go over it, let me finish this first
<Hippo>: some of this cross-linking seems a little gratuitous to me >_> keeping in mind there's a sort of pseudo-science to getting it just right
<Hippo>: like on one hand you want to refer to things that are connected/want to acknowledge your roots
<moklin>: yeah seagull said the same thing
<Hippo>: on the other hand oyu don't want to pull a Family Guy
<moklin>: honestly i was just bored and wanted to do /something/
<Hippo>: "ha ha remember Optimus Prime everybody"
<Hippo>: I think the reference to the mine skip is gratuitous like there's legit no connection there beyond the fact that it's where I stole the idea from
<Hippo>: which I mean OKAY might be also why I'm leery of it ("dude don't tell people where I steal my ideas from") but also just because, that's totally just an OOC connection
<moklin>: well the phrase is the connection
<moklin>: paired with the anomalous copies
<moklin>: and the explo logs and shiz
<Hippo>: right but — in my mind at least — a crosslink should always illustrate another facet of the story
<moklin>: fair
<moklin>: i was just kinda going off of wikiwalk honestly
<Hippo>: like it shouldn't just be 'these two things are connected', it should be 'by linking this, I'm causing oyu to realize there's a connection here, a story here linking these two things'
+++ ChanServ has given op to ARD
<Hippo>: 'that you can make up in your own head'
<moklin>: like the mine copies having made it out and into site-5?
<Hippo>: I like the idea of pushing the interview with the anomaly into one of the logs though the way it's being done here kind of seems, hm
<Hippo>: right, like — it would work if that was the story
<Hippo>: but I don't think that would work, narratively, there's not enough parallels with what you're doing here
<moklin>: ok, will remove crosslinks
<Hippo>: Like as an example uh I crosslinked, the Cragglepark skip with the Summer of 91 skip because there were a lot of narrative parallels that implied a third story might exist between the two
<Hippo>: because they're both skips about trees stealing children and making those children into trees
<ARD>: cragglepark more like sagglepark
<Hippo>: ard how did you know my fetish
<ARD>: OH NO
<Hippo>: 'soggypark'
<moklin>: Hippo: B&
<Hippo>: ok moklin also re: each iteration, it's fine that you didn't do this, but I will tell you about it anyway in case you want to use it
<mlister>: Hippo Please don't B8
<mlister>: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
<Hippo>: you see how like I have a picture of Site-5 on each page after the first? and the first two are the same, but the third is different
<Hippo>: the third was an image that was much, much closer
<Hippo>: like the idea I was going for is that as you go deeper into the iterations the island is getting fucking closer to you
<moklin>: oh i was gonna use a different island
<Hippo>: just as a way to try and creep the reader out in a low-key way I guess
<moklin>: but that's much better
<Hippo>: oh! that would be a different thing then
<Hippo>: like part of my rewrite was originally going to use a grainy black and white image of it far away, then the same image but not black and white
<Hippo>: and then the third, the island right up in your grill
<Hippo>: 'hey what's up heard you readin' about me'
<Hippo>: like it's getting more real and more interested as you go on
<moklin>: i want to make it site-4 now
<moklin>: site-4:
<moklin>: site-close:
<moklin>: *Site-near
<Hippo>: …okay yeah
<Hippo>: the scp-198 reference is
<Hippo>: no
<moklin>: yeah that one was dumb
<Hippo>: like I'm not even telling you opinion here I'm objectively telling you no
<moklin>: it has been removed
<Hippo>: that is wrong
<moklin>: just reload
<Hippo>: haha
<moklin>: seriously i removed it like five minutes ago
<Hippo>: okay xD I MEAN I don't want to make you feel bad I have done things like that before too and just had to have someone flat-out be like 'yeah no'
<Hippo>: '*spray-bottle*', etc

<moklin>: no dont
<moklin>: i only have so much dignity
<Hippo>: not to the same degree but
<Hippo>: also no to the 2719 reference
<moklin>: yeah i'll tell seagull
<Hippo>: like it's fine to draw parallels or do cross-links but you have to commit
<Hippo>: if it's connected you have to make it connected somehow
<moklin>: wait which crosslink
<moklin>: there's 2
<Hippo>: " We all have to go outside sometime."
<Hippo>: I don't know where the other one is
<moklin>: gotcha
<Hippo>: but unless you're committing to it I would take it out too

<Hippo>: moklin: before I swing over I have more thoughts but I will mention that, I think this, atm at least (obviously is not finished) suffers from some of the same problems my original did, but moreso — it kind of feels like it doesn't know where it's going wit hthis
<moklin>: shit that's what i was fearing
<Hippo>: like at no point did I get a sense of 'okay I don't know what is happening but I am confident *you* do, article'
<moklin>: i really shouldn't have proposed what i did
<Hippo>: ? what did you propose? I mean this is not a super-impossible problem to solve
<Hippo>: you just kind of have to pull back and figure out what precisely is going on and how you want to tell the reader about it (and how much you want th ereader to know)
<moklin>: Hippo: i…. i honestly don't know how to explain this
<Hippo>: (there is also the other approach; the one where you have no fucking clue what's going on but you make it 'feel' like you do — but that's a really hard trick to pull off)
<moklin>: Hippo: oh it was the second
<moklin>: the latter
<moklin>: let's go with that one
<Hippo>: oh, is that what you're going for?
<moklin>: it makes me look less incompotent
<Hippo>: I mean that's a thing to go for
<Hippo>: but it's a hard thing to accomplish
<moklin>: so yes, that's what i was going for
<moklin>: (check the collapsible under the tabview)
<Hippo>: ok! one sec, switching now
<Hippo>: BBS
<Hippo>: moklin: okay back
<Hippo>: relink me? >_>
<moklin>: http://scpsandbox2.wikidot.com/collab:mok-dr0-seagull
<moklin>: under tabview
<moklin>: dumbass idea and i don't know why nobody objected
<Hippo>: reading now
<Hippo>: "the Thing" was actually the major influence for these monsters
<Hippo>: the twist was that Site-5 wasn't where the monsters were
<Hippo>: it was where the monsters *weren't*
<moklin>: wait what
<Hippo>: IE the Foundation was already infected; SIte-5 was trying to stop them
<mlister>: Hippo Uh
<mlister>: That's news
<Hippo>: yeah I know >_> is something I never really elaborated on I wasn't really sure if anyone would like the idea that, like
<moklin>: Hippo: dude i /love/ that idea
<Hippo>: the Foundation was basically already infected with these things and Site-5 was basically the last bastion of defense
<Hippo>: and so the Foundation has been trying to erase it
<Hippo>: But the transmitter was like their last attempt to get the truth out
<moklin>: in other words, humanity is now the monsters?
<moklin>: and site-5 is like 2000
<Hippo>: (again this is a problem for me; I typically have an image in my head of what is happening that is very clear, but do not let the reader see anything but tiny pieces)
<Hippo>: not all of humanity, just, a significant portion, like
<Hippo>: Site-5 was trying to get the signal out to the uninfected
<Hippo>: That the Foundation was compromised
<djkaktus>: Bleepandroid: lovely state you have here.
<djkaktus>: I am enjoying my time in it.
<mlister>: Hippo Eh
<mlister>: Hippo Not an idea I'm inclined to
<Hippo>: Yeah
<Hippo>: Is partly why I abandoned it, I wanted to come up with something else? I think? IDK
<Hippo>: Mostly it was an excuse to have the logs inverted from what you'd expect; where the MTF are actually monsters
<moklin>: look at this point i'd accept peppa pig if it meant i could structure this fucker
<Hippo>: sent to eliminate the remaining survivors
<Hippo>: moklin: well that was the original idea/twist; basically that each iteration was the infected parts of the Foundation trying to delete this thing. It starts as, like
<Hippo>: The final iteration,where there's just an echo of the signal, that's been deactivated. Then we go in and see back when they were putting up their last defense, and fell
<Hippo>: then we see when they were still fighting, then we finally get a glimpse of what they're fighting against, and how the Foundation is already compromised
<Hippo>: then we get told "okay the document has just been updated", and find that the signal has stopped
<Hippo>: indicating there's no trace of Site-5 anymore
<Hippo>: like the reason for the corruptions is because Site-5 is using anomalies to try and tell people about this monster that's loose in the Foundation
<Hippo>: (well just one anomaly, the signal broadcaster)
<Hippo>: the monster is basically the Thing from John Carpenter's movie; an anomalous organism that can simulate us and is basically just a singular consciousness
<Hippo>: (another reason I abandoned it: the monster isn't that interesting/has been kinda done)

not_a_seagull's experiment
[FILE CREATED BY USER ccalvin@foundation.scp]
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: A circular 0.5km perimeter has been demarcated surrounding SCP-XXXX, and civilian access is forbidden. Any entities found to be exiting SCP-XXXX are to be captured by on-site security forces and brought to the nearest Foundation secure site for interrogation.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a 16-acre artificial island located 75 kilometers south of Greenland. It consists of numerous concrete structures in a state of severe disrepair. Satellite imagery indicates the presence of a single pier on its south-eastern side, along with significant amounts of vegetation.
SCP-XXXX appears to be former Foundation secure Site-5, a facility created for the containment of anomalous phenomena. Site-5 was destroyed on ██/██/2007 during a catastrophic containment breach, when the on-site nuclear warhead was detonated. SCP-XXXX displays multiple differences from the original Site-5; namely that Site-5 was originally constructed in southern Oregon, rather than on an artificial island.
SCP-XXXX contains three intact buildings: two of which were designed for the containment of anomalies (Containment Area A and Containment Area B), and a smaller building used for clerical work (Office Area A). Exploration of these areas has revealed that SCP-XXXX houses a significant number of anomalies, some of which are uncontained.
SCP-XXXX was originally discovered by satellite footage in early 2017. This discovery was successfully suppressed from the public, and initial containment of SCP-XXXX began.
Addendum: Early Exploration Attempts
Following the discovery of SCP-XXXX, as well as the establishment that SCP-XXXX carried several details consistent with Site-5, an incursion into SCP-XXXX was mounted by a team of three researchers and four armed security personnel. This team was instructed to make hourly contact with the nearby Site-34, in order to relay discoveries and their condition to researchers stationed there.
Team 1 entered Containment Area A and performed an examination of the above-ground portion of the building. After discovering nothing of interest, the team entered the below-ground portion of Containment Area A. After two hours, Team 1 failed to respond to radio.
Another team made up of D-class personnel was sent into Containment Area A to ascertain the condition of Team 1. Team 2 was equipped with food and rations, as well as two-way radio communication sets for the purpose of relaying observations to personnel at Site-34. In addition, Team 2 was instructed to remain in constant radio contact with Site-34. Several notable segments of exploration footage has been recorded below.
D-01: Is anybody there?
Researcher Calvin: Yes. Have you entered the basement area of the building yet?
D-02: Nah, we're just outside.
D-03: Goddamn, did we have to do this in the winter? It's fucking cold.
D-01: Anything you wanna tell us before we go in?
Researcher Calvin: No. Please proceed.
D-01: Calvin, are you there?
Researcher Calvin: Have you discovered anything of interest?
D-03: Shit's already hitting the fan, yo.
D-01: There's a fuckton of bodies taped to the ceiling. Like, a whole fucking ton.
Researcher Calvin: Where are you, exactly?
D-01: Um… we're in a big-ass room… no windows…
D-03: Marty, you got the maps, where are we?
D-02: Fuck, I haven't been keeping track.
D-03: God damn it, Marty. You had one job, and you've already fucked it up.
Researcher Calvin: Please remain civil. Remember your primary mission.
Researcher Calvin: Is anybody there?
D-01: Yeah, what's the matter?
Researcher Calvin: You have been silent for ten minutes now. This is generally cause for concern.
D-03: Nah, being quiet just makes it easier to not inhale whatever makes this place smell like horse shit.
D-01: This place smells like a rose, actually. You've just been standing next to Marty for the whole time.
D-02: Shut the fuck up, Kevin. You don't smell so pretty yourself.
Researcher Calvin: Again, remain civil. What floor are you on?
D-01: 5th or 6th floor, I think? I don't know. Marty, this is your job.
D-02: I- I don't know.
D-03: Marty, give me the maps.
<3 second radio silence>
D-03: Yeah, we're on the 6th floor. Marty's just a fucking idiot.
D-02: Fuck you.
D-01: I think we found the team, chief.
Researcher Calvin: What is their status?
D-03: They're fucking dead.
D-01: Fuck, they're all gooey and shit. They look like balloon animals.
<2 second radio silence>
D-02: Fuck!
Researcher Calvin: What's going on?
D-01: Marty tripped over one of the bodies. It vomited up some weird green shit.
D-03: I just kicked a body. They don't even have bones. It's just green shit all the way through.
D-01: We need somebody to taste test it. Marty, I'll give you the honors.
D-02: Do everybody a favor and fuck off.
D-02: Holy shit!
Researcher Calvin: Are you okay, D-████?
D-01: No, the stairs collapsed under him. Now we can't go up.
D-02: I think my leg is fucking broken!
D-03: It looks like that's the only stairwell here. It looks like there's an emergency ladder, though. We can use that.
D-01: Fuck you, I'm not dragging Marty's fat ass up a ladder.
D-02: Base command, base command! Where the hell are you?
Researcher Calvin: Is there a problem?
D-02: I've been trying to get ahold of you for the past half hour!
Researcher Calvin: We did not receive any transmissions from you in the past half hour.
D-02: Kevin and Frank are dead. I have no clue where the fuck I am.
Researcher Calvin: Could you explain, to the best of your ability, what's happened?
D-02: I don't know. We heard a noise, and Kevin went in to check it out. Frank went in after him, and I haven't seen either of them since.
<Two minutes of radio silence while Researcher Calvin conferences with other personnel at Site-34>
Researcher Calvin: We'll send in an extraction team to get you out7. Stay put.
D-02: Thanks a ton, Calvin.
<The following audio was received by Site-34 three days after the previous segment.>
D-01: Fuck, we're finally outside.
D-03: You still smell like horse shit, by the way.
D-01: Shut up. Just be glad we didn't keel over, or some shit.
D-03: Look, there's a boat out there. I can set up a smoke signal, give me a second.
<Three minute radio silence>
D-01: I think we got its attention. Look, it's coming this way!
D-03: Thank God.
<Two minute radio silence>
D-03: Looks like-
<Radio interference for 74 seconds>
D-03: -shot it, threw it back, wasn't human.
<Transmission abruptly ends>
No further transmissions were received from Team 2. Team 2 was considered KIA as of ██/██/2017. It is also of note that no movement was recorded by the designated observers of SCP-XXXX during this incursion.
Addendum: Exploration Z9
Following the conclusion of Exploration 02, MTF Zeta-9 ("Mole Rats") was contacted for an incursion into SCP-XXXX by veteran exploration specialists. The full detachment of MTF Zeta-9 consisted of a designated captain (Z9-Cap), and five exploratory team members (Z9-1, Z9-2, Z9-3, Z9-4, and Z9-5).
A Foundation-controlled boat (Base Camp) was deployed 0.25 kilometers away from SCP-XXXX to act as a "base camp" for Team 3. Base Camp contained quarters and rations for the team to use over the course of the exploration.
Files pertaining to Exploration Z9 are attached below.
