Exploring the SCP Foundation: SCP-6820 - Termination Attempt

[@Bush_Dude]

Fun fact: The “infestation” mentioned in 682’s monologue after the 055 attempt, is implied (and a little author’s head canon) that this infestation is supposed to be the Entity from 5000. Long ago, the Entity manipulated humanity into performing some kind of ritual and pulled 682 into a physical form and sealing its memory away in 055. Once 055 was introduced to 682, it achieved apotheosis and destroyed the universe to continue battling the Entity from 5000

[@apollyonnoctis1291]

So is this entity good or evil?

[@Bush_Dude]

Now that’s a good question!

[@iBenjamin1000]

"the enemy of my enemy is yet another enemy that I have to deal with" since the foundation was trying to kill literally every human on earth to eradicate the entity from 5000, it could be that it's yet another hostile entity that just so happens to also be hostile to 682

Can we just talk about how this is a genuinely clever take on the lizard? Like... yes, at the end of the day this is just a massive termination attempt dressed up like an SCP in its own right, but this actually expanded the LORE of the lizard in ways that I don't think have ever even been considered before.

[@malum9478]

it's the only thing that saves it for me. i'm definitely one of those people that hate 682 for being an overhyped, overly focused on, nonsensical spc whose survival most of the time makes no sense and clearly only serves a kind of juvenile fanboying "is there anyone that can defeat madara uchiha" niche within the community. THAT SAID. this is actually a really interesting take on the usual malaise, as well as a building upon the lizard in an interesting way for once. i still would just rather it was neutralized so we could ignore it going forwards, but still.

[@latrykpo1779]

@@malum9478 Tbf, 682's survival not making sense is kind of what makes him known as the "Hard to destroy" reptile in the first place, and if you think one of the Scarlet King's origin stories known as "Dust and Blood" is canon and 682 really is the child of the 4th bride of the Scarlet King it adds up to what makes him so broken, but other then that you are correct about it being highballed a lot around the Vs Debating community, up until a point where people started thinking it's Boundless.

[@NathanielPayday]

@@malum9478 Yeah, but that's never gonna happen. 682 is basically the bar against which the strength of an SCP is measured. If you terminate it definitively (as opposed to just in tales or the like), you create a narrative power-vacuum that something equally broken and OP will have to fill. At least the lizard is simple and easy to understand.

I actualy love this version ofSCP-682, but I also love the concept behind the document itself.

I think that is a simple but realy nice idea^^

I really like viewing this one as satire of the modern trend of SCP writing. An alternate title could be, "If SCP-682 was written today." It can't just be a hard to kill reptile, it has to be a metaphysical device built by the foundation that takes on the characteristics of the hard to kill reptile that ends up destroying all life in an alternate universe, presumably an alternate universe where no one wrote 682 until now. I really would have liked it as well if someone realized that the SCP they were trying to destroy was probably the machine they want to destroy now, and therefore they shouldn't try to destroy it.

[@pawthorne7089]

I think its a simultaneous satire of old SCP writing and modern SCP writing, depending on how you look at it.

I listen to the article then check the SCP number. Yup, it’s that guy, alright. This article is actually pretty interesting to me, because it kinda fits into a headcanon I’ve been pondering on that makes 682 basically a Pattern Screamer. While there was no mention of Pattern Screamers in this video, the way 682’s perfect state of being is a concept kind of goes along with some of the stuff about Pattern Screamers. My idea was that 682 existed in the reality before this one (and maybe the one before that) and was so hard to destroy, that when the Pattern came around, it endured through it, being reshaped into its vaguely reptilian form it is now. So really, it turns out 682 is already contained in the current form it’s in.

@@romanpackham8471 Well here’s the thing. Is the Scarlet King the father 682 because he sired it? Or because people believe that to be the case and thus it is so? Cause as the SCP-001 article on the Scarlet King shows the King is shaped by the way he’s perceived by people shaped by the attempts to understand and classify him. 682 could predate its "father" but because people believe it to be a child of the Scarlet King it makes it so.

[@RichardGriebel33]

I think they may have turned 682 into The Scarlet King, they mentioned that one of the associated ideas in the Noasphere was that the color red is connected in human consciousness with the idea of hate and when the doctor met the entity at the end it said the room was colored "hate." There are already countless connections between The Scarlet King and 682 from other files and tales so it stands to reason that he could attach himself to that concept, maybe even directly through our Noasphere in our world by "unlocking" it with 055 since we have no idea what it is or what it does. In a strange sense, the idea of The Scarlet King and his connection to 682 may be responsible for both's existences through an idea loop set between 682/The Scarlet King and us as the readers and writers of the Narrative in the SCP universe. I'm now going to stop thinking about this for a bit before I get a worse headache.

[@alexmorrison3442]

Ontologically speaking, wouldn't the anti-knowasphere be a concept within the knowasphere? That is, it is a concept that can exist within human thought. This would mean that the anti-knowasphere and that which it contains is a subset of the knowasphere. Therefore there is a set that exists in the set of that which humans can understand, described as that which humans cannot understand. This leads to three conclusions, conclusion one, there is an irreconcilable paradox found within human thought, that it is possible for people to understand that which it is impossible for humans to understand, or that set theory is bs.

Anomalies function outside our current understanding, getting rid of something just because we dont understand it can have innumerably many or maybe none, consequences. I also like it because it makes 682 much more interesting, SCP-682 isnt an unkillable lizard, its an eternal, conscious, antithesis to life who we had best figure out how to cohabitate with because, they are a seemingly built into reality to oppose consciousness.
