SCP-194 | Thank You For Your Cooperation (SCP Orientation)

[@Raziel312]

Okay, I'm going to try to give my interpretation of this SCP since many people are confused by this one. I'm not sure I'm right, but here we go anyway: The Foundation is containing an object called SCP 194 that must be kept in a New Orleans mausoleum for some reason. The researchers assigned to it are Garth and Laura. Garth becomes obsessed with Laura and begins persistently trying to win her over despite being firmly turned down. For the record, I don't think this behavior was induced by an SCP. I think this is simply non-anomalous stalking. After official complaints were lodged against him, his access was revoked and a transfer to another site was pending. Desperate, Garth stole Laura's access credentials and entered the mausoleum where 194 was being contained, knowing Laura would investigate. When she tried to reject him for the final time, Garth tried to physically prevent her from leaving. Whatever 194 is, she beat him to death with it. This caused persistent reality altering effect. Garth was erased from reality, apart from his corpse which had been mummified by the conditions in the mausoleum. Furthermore, it caused various non anomalous objects to appear in Foundation containment and databases under the 194 designation. The Foundation had to get inventive in the face of these reality shifts to keep track of what 194 actually is, which accountsfor the unusual structure of this file. As for why these particular objects appear? Recall that Garth tried to win over Laura with a collage of the things that "made her so amazing. " Also recall that he was caught stealing various items from a department store, including a volleyball. I think, the things from Garth's collage are the objects that keep appearing as SCP 194.

[@comidyseeker]

I'm not entirely clear on what happen, but this is what I've gathered. SCP-194 is a realty warping anomaly that is centered around a subject. Prior to Garth's death, it's unspecified what forms SCP-194 took. What we know is that, upon being killed with 194 (A harmful, blunt object that Laura was capable of using in some crude fashion), Garth's recent history around Laura became the focus of SCP-194. Moreover, it seems that any information about Garth was removed, or limited to the forms SCP-194 would present. Maybe I missed something, but my theory is that the Foundation knows more about the object than they may realize. They know 194 presents itself as several non-anomalous objects "affected" by SCP-194. They know one form is of a corpse, found in a mausoleum. If the corpse is non-anomalous, but affected by SCP-194, and there is cause to be concerned about reality warping on the outside of the mausoleum, but addressing nothing about the interior, then there must be some anomalous reason to keep the corpse there. To make a long hypothesis short, I think Garth's history, his very presence in time, was taken away. Each object is a frame in time which involved Garth. Only one being available at a time as "SCP-194". Now, this might be a leap, but what if 194 has erased history before too? It clearly was anomalous when Garth was alive. Anomalies like 194 would explain the gaps in a certain SCP's memory; SCP-2032, Father Time.

[@aaronwilder2775]

This is both fascinating yet kind of confusing. My idea of what this is is that of course all the objects listed as 194 relate to the gifts Garth tried to woo Laura with. With the conflicting info I would say Laura is right, this is some reality warping phenomenon, that seemingly involves her and this Garth guy.

[@handtomouth4690]

Some people get annoyed and angry at things that confuse them, but confusing things like this actually fascinate me. I was hooked and intrigued the entire way trying to figure out what is happening. Whether you like it or not it's definitely a unique one.

This is another one of those ones where the SCP involved doesn't actually really matter. It's all about Laura and Garth.

[@Lawsonomy1]

Or that's what the SCP wants you to think!

[@sugarpapaelmo2004]

It does, from what someone else theorized, they think that whatever Scp 194 is, is Garth (subject 1) himself, turning into the objects that he gave to Laura (subject 2), since before his death, he was obsessed with her and gave her stuff that she liked

[@brandonfitzgerald1457]

True

[@Lawsonomy1]

SCP-194 Is an object that breaks reality It would be a Keter class object except the reality warp is affecting its own file. The addendums are ment to be read in reverse order, the closer to A you get the more infected by the reality warp they are. A foundation scientist was attacked by someone who was obsessed with an alternative version of her in another universe and was brought their buy SCP-194's weirdness. She bludgeoned him to death with SCP-194 which fucked up his death and effectively removed him from time. (Edit: or at least that's my working theory.)

[@petercraigg1]

This flew over my head, plus I wasn't paying full attention.

[@xenon8927]

the reason this is more complicated like a modern SCP is because it is. The old 194, whatever it was, got deleted and this is what's there now

[@maxxpower3d6]

Here you go: the-scp.foundation/object/scp-194

[@SadbutTrue84]

Considering the beginning of the conversation; it seems that they had a "One night stand" at one point and Garth just couldn't get over her afterwards and became obsessed with her however; during her interview with the doctor at the end; see basically describes Garth as an anomaly that never really existed in the first place but, like some have already suggested; that could just be 194s anomalous effects..Who knows🤷🏿.

I've been into the SCP universe for 5 months now and out of all the reality warping, multi-dimensional, quantum entanglement, aliens from another world, celestial body manipulating, mimetic manipulating and supernatural forces, this is the MOST CONFUSING SCP file I've come across.

[@Idran]

Laura had a stalker, and the stalker wouldn't leave her alone no matter how much she said no and how many complaints she filed. Her stalker confronted her in the room where the SCP was held, she killed him in a sudden surge of anger because he just wouldn't _stop_, grabbing the SCP and striking him with it, and its unspecified reality warping effects erased him from time. This is really a story about Laura with the SCP as just a MacGuffin whose details don't matter, not a story about an SCP. There's a few in the wiki like that.

[@VinceroAlpha]

@@Idran I got the main plot (but your explanation did clear a few loose ends I had up by the way) but the way they WORDED and structured the report was so confusing and everywhere that I don't know how to process it. The fact that she erased him from existence due to a emotional outburst should be mind f*&^$ing but I can't get over the horrible syntax.

[@yagamijubei28]

@@Idran the only thing remains is what did she hit him with? The SCP could change shape and form? It probably has a memetic property to change into an object that the person requires it to be.

[@Alexander-the-Mediocre]

@@VinceroAlpha Its because if you actually go to the page you would see the addenda changing as you try to expand them. That wouldn't work in an audio reading so instead they just renamed the addenda by going down the alphabet instead of showing the reality changes. Not sure what they structured poorly.

Well, that was a weird one. I wonder if it works better as a written file, instead of an audio log.

[@Lawsonomy1]

My theory is the addendums should be read in reverse order and you should assume early addendums are more corrupted then later ones. I'm pretty sure it actually said that somewhere in that madness.

[@Alexander-the-Mediocre]

I think it worked better as a file. Cause you could see the changes as you expand the addendums. And because you can see the changes in different groups they are easier to keep track of. Instead of showing the changes this video just renames the addenda so its seems like they are all in order. There is no addenda past 194.G all addenda are 194.D-194.G that just keep changing.

The way i see it, that researcher got tiered of a stalker, killed him and used a SCP to obscure it from the foundation, in this process she fucked up the SCP object.

I think the end makes it clear she was more so cornered & used the scp as a last resort to bludgeon him to death. I think it was also in a sense unactivated until this event, when activated, it removed Garth from reality, & now this SCP is the only proof of his existence, almost like an anomalous shadow box.

[@novacorponline]

This really should be a story article rather than an SCP entry. The core of the story is the conflict between Garth and Laura and the SCP, whatever it actually is, is incidental to the story at best, and serves only as a vehicle through which we witness the character driven conflict. If it was a story article with the two of them assigned to guard "SCP-[Redacted]" it would be fine, but as a containment procedure article on an SCP object it's just a complete flop.

Open the actual SCP and look at the pages. It's a meta one so you kinda need to have the webpage open for context.

[@jaydenlobbe7911]

Ok I can explain What SCP 194 actually is, is completely irrelevant, this document is about the effects of SCP 194-Z, a reality changing phenomenon where the item designated as SCP 194 constantly shifts and changes, the reason this phenomenon occurs is explained through Laura's story, Laura was assigned to research on SCP 194, and one of her coworkers, Garth, was stalking her, Laura complained to HR about the Harassment and Garth was reassigned to Site-402, Garth being the creep that he is decided to steal Laura's Authorization Code to access SCP 194, when Laura saw him in SCP 194's containment chamber Garth cornered her and Laura defended herself by killing Garth with SCP 194, this is the event that caused SCP 194-Z to occur, for whatever reason killing Garth with SCP 194 erased him from Reality, and objects associated with the collage Garth intended to create for Laura are the objects that become SCP 194 through the SCP 194-Z Phenomenon

[@edi9892]

What's the lesson today? It's a mess of a document and no one bothered trying to put the pieces together at the organization?

[@yagamijubei28]

Everybody got affected at the facility by SCP-194. They all forgot about the researcher and she was being forgotten herself. SCP-194 is an anti meme with the power to completely erase someone from existance.

[@Alexander-the-Mediocre]

No there aren't actually that many documents. They just keep changing. In the actual SCP page the addenda doesn't go past 194.G (so there are only 7) instead as you try to read and expand them the page keeps changing them in real time to showing the reality warping agility of the SCP. This video instead just renames the addenda and goes down the alphabet. Can't think of a good way the video could have shown this affect but just changing the names of the addenda takes a lot away from this SCP.

[@dzhellek]

This is the 2nd one I've heard that is like this. Where the story is done and I still have no idea what is going on. What is the horror, mystery, or some kind of drama? It makes no sense. A very bad SCP.

[@MHChrono]

I think the idea is that, when people are in proximity to the SCP, reality gets warped around it. To the point that, all of the documentation for what the SCP even IS gets warped, is it a ball or a boat or what? Well, it's all of those things, because it shifts and changes. It also warps reality in a way that affects those near it. "Garth" the researcher fell victim to it, the "objects" that it had appeared as at one point or another being associated with what he stole at the shop etc. "Thank You For Your Cooperation" was repeated to Garth several times by various people before all of this warping began, sort of like, a warning or a glitch in the SCP's reality warping. So at the end, when we hear it being repeated, but this time, towards Laura and not (the no longer living) Garth, it's creepy because it means she's probably the next to fall victim to the SCP, to the point that no one would ever even know she existed except for this recording of her and Garth talking which somehow still exists in a reality that no one can remember either of them in.

@@MHChrono that means......if you touch the SCP, you can be forgotten. This SCP is an antimeme. It would erase any existance of anything it touches on a reality level. Due to its containment, the SCP is a safe class as it isnt mobile enough to be keter. The guy just was a common garden variety stalker but he possibly did have a thing with her. But the relations turned sour into stalking. Since she touched the scp directly, she is another instance. Or.......she touched the SCP and was slowly forgetting him due to her rejecting an advance or he did something stupid that made her angry at him. When he touched the scp, he tried to make her remember what a wonderful person he knew her to be and the scp began to manifest what his mind wanted. She liked volleyball, boating trips and painting. Shes the one that forgot him, garth wasnt her stalker, he was her lover. She could only call up his name because she saw it on her phone and on his labcoat!!! And she forgot about him and he couldnt deal with the heartbreak. All because of the pull and push effects of SCP194.
