Exploring the SCP Foundation: SCP-4547 - Exterminans

I love how the Scarlet King worshippers are basically like “Welp, the world already ended, and the Children came and died, now what?” xD

Well now they start worshiping the Scarlet Emperor who will bathe the starways in the blood of the unworthy and then SCP001 retroactively becomes the Scarlet Emperor because it's one of those stupid memetic SCP's that is whatever you believe it is.

It was actually pretty wholesome to see the Foundation checking up on the Taronyu when they could. Fellas, find yourselves homies like this.

[@undeadprinceofchaos3731]

Agreed, especially since this allowed them to save what’s left of the species, which allowed them to rebuild and expand on new homes in our solar system.

Honestly considering how many parallels their society has with Earth's I'm confused that a search was not conducted to find a scp-2000 equivalent

[@undeadprinceofchaos3731]

Well considering all the stuff that’s now on the planet, it was probably too risky. Besides, if they did have their own 2000, it was most likely destroyed.

[@Blestyr]

This planet needs a god, or more likely several to fix it, not a cloning machine. O5: Can we fix it? SCP-2000: No.

[@HippieInHeart]

I think that the bunker where they found the last survivors probably is their scp-2000 equivalent. Instead of cloning they put people in stasis, and instead of having just one site they had several (of which all except one got destroyed) but other than that it is pretty similar.

I think this is actually a beautiful SCP. It serves as a warning to the Foundation about the consequences of failure but offers a moment of hope should something happen. As they say, what goes around will come back around. 10/10

[@undeadprinceofchaos3731]

It also shows that even when it seems like all hope is lost, there’s also a small chance of saving the remnants of a world and giving them a second chance.

[@cryptofacts4u]

I actually hate that saying, what goes around comes around because it's only ever applied towards other people that are doing bad things or ourselves when we're doing something good. But if you take the idea to its logical conclusion, when someone suffers a terrible fate like domestic violence or r*pe, this idea would have us blame the victim is it's just something bad they did coming back around. The much scarier ideas that good things happen to good people but also bad things happen to good people, it's all kind of random, and you can go ahead and do all the good you want but it won't necessarily come back to you. Personally I don't do good things cuz I think it's going to come back to me, I do them because humans are more likely to do good things when they see other humans doing good things, it's like a meme that I'm helping to propagate

[@johnsaints969]

The planet is a SCP itself. At least this one didn't overstay its welcome, like some other entries -cough- SCP-6500.

[@EnderIzzy124]

Agreed. The more recent SCP entries have very much blended themselves with tales, which is a pretty big departure from the older SCPs. That's not to say that it's bad, though. While I do miss the more old style of "Thing that does a thing" SCP and having the horror (or otherwise) peak through the gaps in the official and dry writing, having a story in every article is still cool. The world of SCP is entirely controlled by the will of the fanbase and its writers. This is really just how something so spontaneous and decentralized like the wiki likely tends to occur.

[@Shythalia]

That's probably just because of the way The Exploring Series writes his SCP videos. He summarizes & explains the articles to make it make more sense. If he has to do it in a story format to do that, he will.

[@Shythalia]

This IS an SCP. It says so in the title. There's nothing wrong with wanting to tell a story through an SCP article.

[@MorePower8679]

I have found the Ad Astra canon interesting and would love a more in depth exploration of it (which may require going over the ED-K storyline, but I don’t mind). Also, it has the Scarlet King in it, which is one of my favorite “groups”/topics.
