This. This series right here is why When Day Breaks is my favorite 001 Proposal. Not only is it terrifying that something like this happens, but it also, as demonstrated through this series, completely opens the door to a fascinating premise, especially with the context of every other SCP in extistence. How would they be effected by this? Would some ally with Humans or retain their destructive nature? It's fascinating, and I love it.

Honestly because scp 179 was talking with something she referred to as her “Brother” meaning that the confrontation between 179 and 1682 in the wdb 179 vid was what the civilization that sent 2399 was trying to prevent all along if you really think about it.

So (if I remember correctly) by this point we have 3 ongoing plans that could save this universe or at least this Earth: 1. Nuclear Winter - Plan Started (Can save Earth) 2. Yellowstone Reset Button - Plan Delayed by the Nukes (Can save Earth) 3. The Saviour - Plan Ongoing (Can save the Universe) Edit: Thanks for cleaning up the confusion about Nr.2 lads. I confused it with 5000. Nonetheless adding all 3 together makes a hopeful image of the future. If the Destroyer(Saviour) can fix the sun then by the end of the Nuclear winter the remnants of Humanity/Dr.Bright can activate the Yellowstone Reset and humanity will come back to rule the universe once more.

Goddammit son, 2399 was already my fav scp and i theorized in your video 6 years ago that the wording made it seem like the target was not planet 3 but would be in range once arriving to planet 3. The fact that you made this "canon" fills me with satisfaction of what i expected from this scp's story. Hall of fame for this one.

[@colterhall2172]

Hold on, I just had a scary thought. What if the anomalous sunlight can cause other stars to become corrupted? Could that be what the destroyer meant by "the cascade failure of this reality"? If that's true, then depending on how much time has already passed then there's only a little over four years and likely much less before it reaches Alpha Centauri...

[@lorddelta10]

Probably the other stars could resist it, but if continuously attacked, then yeah I can see how terrifying it could be

[@Idran]

That's an awful thought, but no, what this is saying is that the anomalous sunlight doesn't _have_ to corrupt other stars. The light from the sun has the same effect whether it's been traveling for 8 and a third minutes, 4 years, a billion years: any inhabited planet in the universe will be effected eventually.

[@elrey9982]

SCP-2399 speaking like a Mass Effect Elcor; describing its emotions and how it speaks to avoid confusion. But damn, quite a interesting twist that the would've been destroyer of the world would revise its stratagem in such a manner. And to think it only took 3 humans to fix an anomalous warship of alien construct. This was an interesting SCP to explore with When Day Breaks; the French-speaking lady who called the sun her brother would've certainly been surprised by such a development.

[@Br0ck3n]

From what it said, it seems 2399 was always meant to STOP When Day Breaks from happening. It doesn't seem like its purpose was ever to destroy Earth, but rather the preservation of our solar system.

The Destroyer is really boutta be the MVP of this whole story, isn't it?

[@lechevalier-ns2pt]

Theory time The entity in the scp 5000 story is responsible for the events of scp 001 when day breaks. Scp 2399 was created to prevent apotheosis from the entity by compatible lifeforms. Scp 2399 primary mission is to destroy humanity. if it fails, it’s mission becomes the destruction of the entity or the source of the "data corruption" The reason why I’m comfortable saying the entity is responsible for WDB event is that according to the original files, even a person’s soul is assimilated by the WDB event. If the sun gets you, you are part of it now, forever. The scp 5000 story is about the foundation "turning evil" because they found something in the collective unconscious of humanity. The ethics board unanimously agreed that the extermination of humanity was a better fate than whatever that entity had planned. Those separated from the entity in that story lack a "spark" they seem to lack their souls.

[@pyoxydoge2566]

Given that the entity in SCP-5000 is said to be the thing behind SCP-2718, it could be that the Sun turned everyone into goop monsters in order to save them from the Entity's sadistic ploy. For being shapeless masses of flesh, people affected by WDB are rather jolly about it - probably because they know that they'll live forever in bliss instead of unspeakable suffering after death. Wouldn't that be fucked up? That the horror of being subsumed by a mass of flesh is less terrible than ceaseless pain?

[@abhinandkrishna3430]

The "entity" in 5000 requires intact huma emotions and sufferring Corrupted indidviduals are crazed joy filled automatons which wihtout a "mind" cannot provide for the entity The entity would be the last thing to want 001

[@mr.keleton9710]

Actually the "001" in 5000 story is way way worst. Because is not an event that will happen but an effect that is going on since humanity's birth. That its an anomalous that makes every people that "died" to suffer for eternity feeling the pain of their death + the feeling of the decomposition, going on for eternity even if the brain is destroyed whatever keeps you conscious make you dont addapt to the pain. It's way horryfing to know that everypeople that died since the beggining of humanity (that including your great grandpa and whoever...). Being the only way to stop the suffering of the affected people is to end all humanity, or to erase all the subconscious in a way that you are no longer "human" (that's why they become detached, since they are no longer in the collective unconscious), if just a single one person survive the others will still suffer. It's for me the worst cenario ever!

[@purplehaze2358]

The genuine heartbreak in the delivery of "I have failed" was kind of surprising from a machine.

[@KertaDrake]

Well... Machines are an unusual case... unlike humans, an intelligent machine has a purpose from the moment it's created... Imagine what it must be like to know you have a specific function and have failed? Suddenly your purpose in existing is snatched away and you have nothing!

imagine spending decades repairing yourself while your target launches nuclear warheads at you every month. Youve been collecting materials and powering up to destroy an entire planet.

I just love this story! We have the classic "when day breaks" timeline, but from the perspective of off-world survivors making an unlikely alliance in order to potentially save what is left of Earth. I liked the writing of SCP-2399 that it never meant to harm us, and that the creators of 2399 somehow knew what was going to happen. Interestingly enough, SCP-2399 says itself that it has "never seen a star become this", which means it either was dispatched on its first mission, and/or it didn't have all the information of its mission that the higher ups knew, similar to the foundation and their agents having levels of clearance. Letting 2399 break free from Jupiter was super sweet, I applaud Dr. Lindsman's efforts. Excellent narration, visuals, and story by Dr. Cimmerian.

SCP-187 could end up predicting the sun breaking, sacrificing herself to warn people nearby to prepare and seek shelter in advance. A sacrificial lamb for the good of the people.

" Ive seen stars die, Ive seen stars live, but i never seen a star become this " -2399

[@shikashi18]

I will say, that for all it's potential and power, SCP 2399 never had revealed it's directive outside of what little is known. All that is known is that it was something that it came from far away and that it had a purpose. Weather it was to destroy or preserve earth was never made clear, which certainly could of gone either way. I will say that I do like this....though I would wonder what that would mean for "The Bismark."

[@bigpigeon2384]

Is the Bismarck connected to the destroyer?

[@Ken-df8cp]

Could "have". No educated person says "could of". They're not interchangeable.

[@hugoprince868]

@@Ken-df8cp it's just a simple mistake no need to say their uneducated

[@johnkieth4537]

​@@bigpigeon2384 Yep, it was a biological starship iirc with the purpose of scouting. It encountered the destroyer while examining Jupiter and was fired upon before seeking refuge on Earth during WW2. The rest is history, flesh bit scooped out and plugged into the hull of the Bismarck to run the propellors and filled with other fun anomalies before being sent to Davy Jones' locker by a pissed off Royal Navy

Scp 2399 be like: Oh I can't escape jupiter because I am scared of falling to jupiter and getting crushed by its pressure. Also Scp 2399: Lets go into the sun with 25x the pressure of jupiter. Makes sense after all.

[@anothervarietyyoutuber4533]

The reason it couldn't escape Jupiter was because it was heavily damaged. While in it's complete state, it's sole purpose is to counter the corruption in the sun, so it likely could do something.

[@sir_ox6735]

It did state that it has repaired its shielding and that pressure was no longer an issue

Really happy to see so much effort put into this! Can't wait to see what other scp content you have for us! Good job!

[@anlize3422]

God damn this was AWESOME! You pulled at my heartstrings here when you pulled SCP-2399 into the protector arche-type. If this get solved in any way, shape or form, humanity must give SCP-2399 the props it deserves. Go Savior, go!

[@shopnil4]

I love 2399 being the savior. This honestly started making me have this be one of my favorite SCPs now

[@reaper.f54u]

I dont think ive ever wanted a sequel to a video more than after finishing this one. This is just TOO good to leave here.

[@solidicone]

Very interesting concept that 2399's entire purpose was to prevent day breaking to begin with. What I never really understood with 2399 was how the hell something that advanced could fumble to a navigational error and smack into IO to begin with.

[@Multiversewriter]

I find this a very interesting idea like the SCP foundation had been shooting themselves in the foot and didn't even realize it till it was too late as most life on the planet became corrupted. Plus, I find this depressing with how the voice acting was and the background music. Another masterpiece for the world.

I love this kinda video about SCP. Instead of just imagining the scenario yourself, you actually made an animation through the story

[@attilaayavuz5937]

This was by far my favorite SCP story when it comes to WDB because: (i) it goes well beyond the simplicity of everyone being flesh, (ii) it turns SCO-2399 into the hero that it meant to be, (iii) Opens up the possibility of stories about advanced civilization build SCP-2399, (iv) and whoever this advanced civilization combating against, who is trying to corrupt "data" (life forms) in stars, who are they? I am really curious about them. I would love to see stories about the civilization that built SCP-2399 (I refer to as Protectors), its (and humans') enemy (I refer to as Corrupters), and entities like Scarlet-King and Devaurors, who seem to be a match to them! Very excited about this storyline honestly, please make more! :)

Can't wait to see PT.2 of this :D this feels like the exciting days when SCP channels were all over KZbin, keep it up buddy :D

[@nicklapallo9090]

This is delightful. 2399 was always one of my favorites and for some reason my gut instinct never told me to fear it. I guess with all the other anomalies out there, a big space ship with a powerful AI really is not that big of a deal.

I just hope that this spaceship can handle the anomalies outside, afterall, some anomalies maintaing part of their power even after corruption, for what it appers on the Deer vs The Guardian episode. Lets just hope that this Ship is able to bring hope to survivors and build save heavens that no flesh can penetrate.

Humans: have you considered turning yourself off and on again? Destroyer: I am incapable of turning myself back on once turned off Humans: What if we turn you off and on again? Destroyer: You son of a bitch, im in

[@Lamadon_Pyreus]

What if the corruption of the Sun has to do with the Scarlet King or an adjacent reality-corrupting SCP entity? The Destroyer might find some type of orb of influence having to do with said corrupting SCP and have to go through an ordeal to get rid of it.

The idea that 2399 was sent to Stop "When Day Breaks" in the first place is an alarmingly unique one. Humanity caused its' own downfall, not out of panic, but out of caution.

[@Audisknfj]

My favorite SCP by far ngl. I do wonder how do people in the current SCP universe know this. My best guess is that SCP 3008 also has dimension hopping abilities, and some straggling survivors went into our universe. The foundation then improved its ability to track movements within the ikea, thus tracing its steps back to the cursed dimension

One thing that just occurred to me is that this would imply that there is -nothing- anomalyous about SCP 2399, it is simply an AI controlled spacecraft. Therefore the sun isn't affecting it. I thought otherwise with the first few images, it seemed to show red flesh dripping on it but that must just be heat and coloration on machinery.
