The log was after the footnotes of the article which is the point that the majority of articles end, it was a pretty huge mistake on my part.

I can't help but think this SCP was written (and written excellently, of course) as a reaction to the growing number of SCPs which just threw SRAs at any problem and they'd magically fix them. A perfect illustration of why emergency systems can usually only mitigate a problem rather than actually curing it.

[@swiftxrt]

couldn't agree more

[@kaden-sd6vb]

Wasnt there also that one story where something went wrong with a reality anchor and a dude was sucked into a plane of nonreality, after which he began to slowly "warp" from the lack of reality around him, and when they managed to get him back he was little more than some organs fused with the twisted remains of the terminal that had been sucked in with him

[@AllForFire]

This is such a great comment. Not as a flex or anything but this is exactly what it’s like to be in the military. Things only ever get “fixed” not ever fixed. So yes, disregard the screaming. Safety is not the number one priority.

[@nothri]

So I'm guessing theVolgun didn't have a good way to include the ENDING to this story as part of the 'lecture'. So here's a quick summary- after the article proper there is a link to a email sent by an 05 councilman addressed to the missing CEO. It repeats what some of the article talks about, how the Foundation has changed, how they now have an ethics board and so on. It also notes how proud this 05 member of the council is with the changes, that the Foundation is a better organization that has a sense of morality now. But the 05 member is starting to feel like a remnant from an older time and often wonders if there really is a place for an old monster like him in the current Foundation. But then sometimes someone like the CEO comes along and reminds them why they are still there. Because sometimes the only way to deal with a monster is with another monster. No one is ever going to find the CEO. There won't be an inquiry or a ethics meeting. He's just going to stay vanished forever as far as most of the Foundation will know. Except the 05 Council and the CEO himself. And the CEO won't know for very long. The letter concludes by welcoming the CEO to his cell. It asks him to go ahead and put on that orange jumpsuit in the corner. He'll notice a scranton reality anchor in front of him. They will be conducting some tests shortly...

[@Nightmare_52]

Oh jeez

[@MFG1243]

I went ahead and read it, and it's a shame it wasn't included. I don't see a reason to not include it, as you could just do some handwave-y terminal stuff to justify the inclusion in the video, and it brings a satisfying ending to the story. Daniel got what he deserved.

I returned recently through his stuff and I've grown an immense amount of respect for him. What a talented guy honestly.

[@Umimugo]

This is a pretty terrifying entry considering how casually the Foundation throws around SRA's at any kind of reality bending anomaly and that they were almost becoming similar to the old version of Telekill where it was just the magical cureall for anomalies

[@thefallencog]

Telekill early on though was never truly effective, and was limited by its total amount. Telekill was effective as a box, Not as chains. It was similar to seastone if you've ever watched one piece. Telekill will generally weaken type greens and blues, but unless they are contained in a box made of pure Telekill, the cuffs will only weaken or suppress their abilities at best. (afaik, their abilities still completely work even in a telekill box. They just can't affect anything outside of the Telekill box) Its still used in later canon afaik, but its used as a dampener. Not a problem solver, and thats typically on very old anomalies with very old or rather outdated containment protocols. You aren't going to make many cells out of 144kilos worth of material. Even if its constantly regenerating. The foundation can't forcefully speed up the generation process either without skipping through time itself.

[@vexxama]

Reminds me a lot of scp 500 in that regard. If you have this amazing item, you need to narratively limit it to avoid it completely throwing off the balance of the world it’s in. Telekill was limited in amount and application. The SRAs are a massive boon, but their proliferation seems to be making each one in existence less reliable. Insurance is a good thing to compare stuff like this too. The more you use it, the higher the cost, so you want to be careful because it’s not a catch all safety net.

[@steampunkmage9073]

Even scarier if you go off the theory that a component of a reality anchor involves the corpses of reality benders, although I'm currently more concerned about the latest meta that is the noosphere.

[@Savrollo]

@@steampunkmage9073 SCP-4231 The Montauk House reveals a lot of info on how SRAs are created. And if we based on the data that is sided of the main story, The Scarlet King might recall some -if not all- remnants of the reality benders used at the SRAs to his leisure.

[@raycearcher5794]

It makes sense that the Foundation would invent technological solutions and that they would then experience issues WITH those solutions. So long as that doesn't become what EVERY SCP is about, I'm fine with it. For instance 2669 is spooky as heck, and that's almost entirely the Foundation's fault.

I think part of that comes from this being in the Broken Masquerade canon, where SCPF failed to keep themselves secret, so they are able to cooperate with Navies and Airforces for containing larger SCPs like this, instead of having to rely on the limited number of SCPS vessels they have, like in other entries where the Foundation is a secret.

In actual accident investigations the mindset in this SCP is called "Tombstone Mentality" and it's everywhere in industrial or transport accidents. I have a thing for disaster science mind, I'm not a scientist. I just love learning about why a disaster is as bad as it is, including human error. This scp reminds me a bit of the investigation into the BP Oil spill. Also I LOVE that the MTFs actually have a survival instinct in this SCP instead of blindly jumping in. I am curious though, I forget its number but does 3241 use the Montauk house's explanation for where the Scranton Anchors come from? Might explain the massive failures and criticalities. There's a reason I prefer to depict the anchors as an inhibitor, and this scp is it. You start getting failures in that system and whatever story you're trying to tell can get complicated FAST.

that ending section literally put chill down my spine, I love trying to do chores and stopping whatever I'm doing to listen to you speak.

[@rippupp798]

wow really good voice work on this one. the scientist giving his statement on how he could have saved his colleague was great. overall good reading.

[@omutsukimi]

Wow, this is a new level for The Volgun's voice acting!

[@craigord]

Your voice work is incredible! You define and act your characters so well. You don’t realise your ‘only’ listening 👏🏻🤘🏻

[@billheathcock]

Awesome, qualify entertainment for my late night before bed viewing, thanks for posting.

[@stevengoldstraw]

Beautifully narrated, thank you so much ❤️

[@ToallpointsWest]

The narration on this was absolutely amazing!

[@Arisawa_Heavy_Ind]

Absolutely insane, every video of yours is a treat Volgun!

[@nolanmcclung6993]

This is my favorite scp, and I have dreamed of you covering it to see your VA skills on the different characters. I am so happy its finally hear

[@agravemisunderstanding9668]

Damn i love this story. It feels like a real crisis or scp report but the characters and the dialogue from the interviews feel so real and human. Just from their short little speeches it feels like you already know them. It's great. Cudos to the writer

[@WonkyOctopus]

Great presentation. I always look forward to seeing you upload another of these. Keep up the good work man.

[@911meltdown2]

This was so well done. The emotions. Oh man. So good!

[@Bzuhl]

With the generaly clinical tone of these videos your great voice acting shine even brighter in the more lively interviews, I was shaken by the Brashki(?) breakdown.

[@gogeterdone]

Really hope there's another SCP that ties in/ continues this story line. Has that investigator discovery vibe.

[@PTSatoru]

Listening to this now, it is eery how much it feels like a fictional version of the OceanGate disaster. A prediction, in a way. The CEO sounds just like Stockon Rush, and the safety warnings the CEO was given sound terrifyingly similar to the warnings OceanGate repeatedly received. This SCP isn't just creepy because it's so similar to real life with the human faults, it's extra creepy because it was so prescient.

I appreciate this, but why does *every* production of this *ALWAYS* miss the email at the end? That email recontextualizes *everything*.

[@thelaughingrouge]

Right?! It's literally the most important part of the the whole article.

What is the email?

Love seeing Naval based SCPs. Often very unique.
