Honestly, these videos are just making me have mad respect for 049. He keeps his manners intact when in containment, despite...well, being in containment. He only uses his "touch of death," from what I've come to see, when necessary. His only goal seems to be to cure people of this "pestilence" illness, which someone in the comments suggested was the human emotion of suffering. And instead of using the armory to get back at the Foundation for trying to stop his efforts, he only uses the flash grenades to lure 106 back into containment, and even went so far as to literally blowing up the place below to do so.

Is it just me, or does it seem like deadly blackouts happen at Foundation sites a little too frequently? One would think that an organization like the Foundation would have some kind of backup system in their facilities to keep that from happening.

[@ctgckkotr792]

The moment you take a moment to analyze things is the moment you realize that the SCP Foundation is probably at best the second most incompetent major anomaly fighting instution in it's own universe even as the "protagonist." They're often ridiculously unnecessarily cruel, and so incompetent/corrupt that they refuse to solve their own problems with the anomalous means they posses but will still take advantage of them just to serve the O5 Council, basically riding their own high horse into their own Doom time and again until their higher ups feel threatened. Which makes sense, considering they constantly feed the brightest minds in the world to anomalies regularly by being careless, sometimes on purpose when confronted with said flaws.

[@jacoblineberry1788]

@@fluffypinkpandas The thing is, most government institutions at least care enough about lost funding and equipment to try and protect the equipment as well as the things they don't want to lose. They're spending so much on these facilities and making them so thorough, and then they're just leaving everything as is despite the numerous outages that continuously occur. I tend to think the SCP foundation for some reason hooks lots of stuff up to singular power units. Or interconnected power units that are reliant upon one another, or one singular unit to continue running. In the first place, with average power usage, that's a good way to overload a powersupply. With how much power they need to keep each singular part of the more complicated SCP containment imprisonments active, power outages would be rampant. Realistically, any company doing this sort of thing would look into solutions right away. If they're unwilling to change the power supply system, they'd move to alternative methods of keeping things in check. Especially transportation for cross-testing. The moment the lights went out one time while 173 was being transported, they'd have another means of keeping the SCP lit up during transportation. Alternative light sources would be trained on the thing even when the power is on until it reaches its destination. Even for the corrupt, complacent, and downright careless, the common reasoning for breaches leaves the SCP foundation seeming downright negligent and incompetent. Especially with how intelligent a lot of the design work for everything they do is, their funding, and what technology they have access to. Basically, the big thing here is, these things are dangerous to everyone no matter where they are if they escape, and its these that often get out the most. The higher ups would normally take this as reasoning to be more careful, so they can protect themselves in real life circumstances.

[@fluffypinkpandas]

@@jacoblineberry1788 Narratively injected incompetence. is when, say, you are watching star wars and this "super deadly and threatening faction" is just missing all their shots because the main characters are not allowed to be actually under-threat in the story. Or they need the cast to get away from something that they in all honesty should have extreme difficulty evading. For SCP writers, its when they need X to happen, and so make Y happen to accomodate it. So one day for no reason at all, Epstein-173's camera turns off in his cell and all the lights go off in order to have his super spooky badass containment breach event. it is the result of 1 million and 1 fan fiction writers submitting articles that get approved simply because "it evokes powerful emotions and makes my dopamine receptors fire" rather than instructed to revise particular segments that DAMN the foundation's ability to be competent and cautious as a foundation designed around anomalous objects should be. Their lore becomes this conflicting mish mash of incompetence and competence, because the 1 million and 1 writers can't seem to agree on how a government ran bureaucratic institution should function.

I believe the pestilence is fear.

As for 106, it feeds on fear hence why the plague doctor saw it as the main source of pestilence.

ok 049 is kinda badass in this story id bet 049 and 106 prob went to the pocket dimenson and had a epic fight that we will never see probably

[@donb8088]

I bet they had a truce between old men. 049 could live in the pocket dimension with a constant supply of cadavers, or just enjoy a dimension without pestilence. 106 would benefit as he could torture his victims a second time as reaminated 049-2 instances.

[@grayemme]

well 049 is complicated i think he is smart enough to realize 106 is not helping him cure anyone he is just being evil and the pocket dimension will still feed on 049 even if 106 did not want it to i like your idea but i feel 049 would cure more people then fight 106 with the cure like in the vid there his puppets he could even maybe with the help of his puppets cure 106 but hey thats just a theory

I wonder if there is any relationship between "the pestilence" and the state of still being alive even when your body has technically died. given that he considers killing and then raising people as curing the pestilence, there may be a connection.

[@domc9801]

He did talk to one researcher claiming that the scientist/ doctor was free of pestilence.

Can I just say how OP some SCP's are? Like, its the same thing every time, super dangerous SCP, everyone is scared, it escapes, nobody can kill it because it has biiiiiiig super powers and cannot die, kills 200+ people and then gets put back in containment. Its why I adore the plague doctor, he is dangerous, but cooperative, and not too OP, like 682 or 106.

There are plenty of non-God like SCPs and they can be really interesting, but they usually don't get as much attention. Some of theses guys do have stupid OP powers though, I agree.

@@ccboy3960 343 cant even be touched if he doesnt allow it, and hes not dumb by any stretch. If the foundation told him of the old man and his abilities, theres no way hed just let him take him somewhere else. Hed likely allow him to try, only to then try and subdue him. Or possibly try and move the old man somewhere he cant get out.

[@Domin0Head]

So… did 049 die?? I know that it was mentioned that the footage cut out from there, but from what I can recall, the Plague Doctor isn’t or wasn’t a being with advanced healing capabilities, or at least none that has been shown to regrow their head. That ending left me with questions. Otherwise, it was thrilling. Edit: I’m assuming they did not die, but in terms of storytelling, I’m still left asking questions. Like: “How was the doctor able to survive this encounter twice?” But honestly this one is of lesser importance, honestly. Lol

[@ryleeguy2763]

Yeah he’s fine. I think dude was just putting him in his place because he can’t actually kill him, just fuc&ed him up a lot. Doc can turn dudes heads upside down and make it work, grafting an arm sounds like child’s play for him. When this stuff happens too he rarely gets shook (he is old), his stories, bad or good always end with him like “this was great for my research 🧐.”

[@MaxwellAlvarado]

Honestly seeing how effective and quick moving 049 is in actual combat makes me grow a theory he is actually not a doctor but a combat medic from a alternative version of earth, he speaks of the scarlet king and the other kings with great disdain so it would make sense that he came from a version of earth that was destroyed by them.

[@siegebreaker9482]

Starting to love the more narrative videos lately. Fantastic episode!

Really good stuff! I wish I knew what happened with the Plague Doctor, but with SCP events there are always information gaps. 049's zombies are described as "ambient," but I think the proper word would be "ambulant."

Interesting thought, maybe the plague doctors “pestilence” is mortality. The fact that we are born dying, in contrast to him. It would make sense as he states that he has seen much of this pestilence through his time, and the fact we are all dying from the moment we are brought into this world is the one thing all living things have in common.
