I was one of the co-authors of this article and I want to say how much we appreciate you reading it! You've done a fantastic job of replicating the feel we were going for while writing the article, and for anyone curious, you may not have seen the last of the Department of One!

[@skxrri]

Definitely hope not! Would love to read more it’s a really cool premise

[@thebigdawgj]

You did a pretty good job. However it's "try to remember" not "try and remember", and every time that phrase was read, it brought me out of my immersion. The Foundation would know how to write properly.

[@Idran]

@@thebigdawgj nah, both are acceptable "try and" is more colloquial, but it's idiomatic english that's been attested literally as long as "try to", both going back to the 1600s; by some etymologists, it's possible that "try and" might even predate "try to" (keep in mind that the insistence on the importance of infinitives in english is, like prepositions only at the end of sentences, in large part a fiction constructed by grammarians in the 19th century who thought a more latin-inspired structure sounded more formal and proper, that in itself a hang-around from when french was the court language and originally introduced itself into english, relegating many germanic words and structures to a "common"/"low class" connotation as a result) famously, the lord of philology himself, JRR Tolkein, had his editor 'correct' "try and" to "try to" in Lord of the Rings, and he changed it right back and refused to let it be changed again

[@thebigdawgj]

@@Idran Just because he's a famous author doesn't make it correct. "Try and ____" Try WHAT and ___? You probably think saying something "needs fixed" is grammatically correct, instead of that it "needs to be fixed".

The funny thing is that this protocol could be the predator itself. Your enemy will never think that it births and chooses you as its failsave.

@@derpstick5467 ehhhhh..... other than the completely noncanon temporal manipulation powers given to 2000 its okay.

That's what scary about 610 and the predatory street art, the foundation does their best but they're still out there. Thankfully, they're just a story online...... right? Another scare factors of SCPs is the questions left unanswered or the implications of said SCP.

[@grayfiresoul]

@@dickc.normous6369 I agree that 7004 was alright - the cognito hazard element was fantastic. Generally, I don't like Marvel-level world enders, but this was more humble and original, despite it's horrific, mass-scale nature. It's hard to tell if the author merely misrepresented SCP-2000, knowing that that's not how it was written but needed creative stretching room, or wasn't fully knowledgable about its details in the first place. They either took big liberties or didn't read up. Either way, that bugged me, and nearly sabotaged the conclusion.

Many franchises have moments where it is suddenly revealed that the events prior didn't matter because it was "all just a dream". Few have moments where the events prior didn't matter because it was NOT a dream. My theory the foundation would be re-created solely from the reader's memories in a 3rd reality. The reader will find themselves in a 2nd reality, one where the foundation never existed, one where hopefully they can learn some clue to defeating the perfect predator. Then their memories will be used to create a 3rd reality, one that is hopefully similar to the 1st except that now the foundation has a warning; a key bit of info that will hopefully be enough to save it.

The hypnotic suggestions in this SCP are fascinating. They hint at a much larger reality and the control the Foundation has over that greater reality. It's horrifying and hopeful, disturbing and comforting, all at the same time. I love it.

The details that you put in these videos are top notch Volgun. Phenomenal. Edit: the needs of the many supersede the needs of the few is the case in this entry which is absolutely amazing yet sad if I read and listening right. I could be wrong but I will happily accept my mistake. Edit 2: listening to this again but I have in the background David Bowie’s As The World Falls Down and it’s a fitting song for this but that’s just me. One person gave all so reality, an existence can be reborn/continue as it once was. Again this is my interpretation of the entry. It’s sad but amazing read.

[@BatttleBun]

I think, in this case, it’s not even about “the few/one” vs “the many”. It’s the idea that D01, the reader, the Designated Survivor, cannot and will not continue to exist if this task is not carried out, because for the SCP Foundation to resort to the complete and utter annihilation of themselves and all reality, it means that there is NO surviving. For anything. It is, realistically, both the most selfless and selfish act to commit, because in opening this file D01 has destroyed not just the few, or the many, or even the entire Foundation. They have destroyed EVERYTHING. All of reality. They alone survive this contingency, and the price for their continued existence is to be chased, hunted and preyed upon for an indeterminate amount of time until they can rest, if ever that time comes. The rest of reality being born from the ashes of D01’s torment is more like a convenient side effect of something D01 would have to do anyway. It’s not really like they have a choice between “Open the file” and “Complete destruction” It’s not so much a case of “you suffer for us, we thank you” it’s more like “you have to suffer, and if you make it, it was the only chance you had”.

Could be, in many SCPs the foundation is hinted, or sometimes outright confirmed, to have been recreated from scratch, or to have been part of some kind of reality reset (even if this is just repopulation). If there were not memetic kill agents attached to ensure the individual who brought the Foundation back couldn't themselves spread knowledge of an existential threat (in case said knowledge itself is the threat), that individual would effectively dictate the new reality to some degree.

Huh. A completely clean and functionally unrelated individual who exists as a unassuming snail shell, within with the foundation can hide as a vague memory.

[@sammieslaterjr.8982]

one thing I should've prepared for when I had the chance: just because an SCP is thaumiel (or safe for that matter) does NOT mean it's benign or easy on the psyche.

[@saxonharries9033]

Raising the bar every time. Absolutely fantastic agaib

[@alexrexaros9837]

"Hey guys! We've found another unexplainable destructive and world-ending SCP!" "Oh no! Anyway, last week the O5 told me..."

[@MarinePoolee91]

Good to see you're all the way back. Hope everything is going well. Your content is a consistent high point in my KZbin world

[@Xsroa12345]

This one is cool as hell. Im more than content with normal SCP entries, but this is something else.

[@t3hr00tb33r]

"Thank you for listening, if indeed you are still are on this plane of existence, and you are all [REDACTED]. Good bye."

[@SirSadness]

This would have been really useful for SCP 5000. Public: Oh shit, the foundation has gone mad. That one guy: lol, no

[@MarshmallowRadiation]

Who knows, maybe that's what happened. Maybe that's why the only thing left is the suit of the guy who made it there.

[@SirSadness]

@@MarshmallowRadiation Well, the story was about the guy taking a thing to place. Not even the guy knew what the thing was.

[@r1tzie_rino]

Volgun u did such a fantastic job narrating the SCP article, u really nailed the tone of the scp foundation and the entire world ending except this one person in the video. Hearing ur narration gave me chills, awesome work!!!

[@tonny_dourado]

The scariest thought for me is: imagine you're not the right person, the one they was supposed to listen to it. You were not the department of one, you've never heard of it. And now everything is going to be even worse than the worse scenario, and it's kind of your fault.

[@oliviapatterson3914]

The will always be a contingency plan.

[@Amir_404]

When listening to this, I can help but wonder if the "one" is actually bait. Hide nearly all of the foundation with some sort of bubble reality so that the predator fixates on what is still exposed; fill the one with misinformation so that he/she becomes the ideal target for this type of conceptual predator; then ease the one and predator from existence with a chain reaction that restores the foundation.

[@erdrick8670]

Interesting to think of that last user having used the final contingency to, rather than return themselves in their entirety, instead scatter that previous self across the new reality. Each story people write in our reality being a fragment of that final employee. Everyone who reads them and finds a connection with the SCP stories having a piece of that one inside of them calling out to remember. All so if the foundation should be needed again, many will know and be called out to help in the cause. Innately, the foundation can return for it exists in all who feel drawn to its call. At least that would be my idea for it. Makes the community that the name SCP has culminated feel that much more connected.

[@andrewmonske8356]

SCP-6511: it is very important that you do not stop listening Me: alright *ad plays* Me: s h i i i i i t

[@ReUpx]

I could sit here and listen to / watch every single one of your videos. They're so well put together.

[@trebacca9]

Something about that closing sentence is even heavier than the rest. The idea that you might suddenly *wake up* one day, and all of this has been as a dream, just the shadow of the world where you hid until it was safe...

[@theagenttoast9744]

Damn it would had been haunting if volgun released this video, and then posted nothing for a whole year or so. No patreon thanks thing just END OF FILE would be deeply haunting.

[@FluffsuneGaming]

Jesus this video sends such cold shivers down my spine listening to it. Talk about some incredible work.

[@redlady120]

An SCP that holds me on the verge of tears. The end has come... and only ONE will need to stand, watch, and save the organization when everything is safe

[@MattSmith-rr2he]

“Do not stop listening” “Hello welcome to McDonald what can I get for you today?” 😰

[@clericofchaos1]

well that certainly is an interesting concept. A single member of the foundation known to no one except the council who is essentially the most powerful and important member of the foundation. I wonder if he gets paid more?

[@MySerpentine]

Doubt it.

[@Bbome2012]

Not that the other recent uploads were bad at all but this one was incredibly good. Well done.

[@h3rmesactual]

I was wondering what was happening with the text before I realized that you replaced "read" with "listen", so "already" became "allisteny" lmao

[@diarmuidallen5899]

yeah I noticed that too and took a min to work it out

[@Scavenger82]

I've been binging the SCP videos on this channel for three days. They're a bit like creepypastas, but centred around a specific (yet multifaceted) subject.

[@afinoxi]

That intro has one hell of a vibe

[@shipmcgree6367]

The last time I was this early, I was hitching a ride on a then-alive SCP 3591 to get to a Way into the Library.

[@ShadowEclipex]

I would love to see a short film which focuses on the aftermath of this SCP. I could see it being a sort of horror film where the person selected as the Order of 1wakes up in the new reality and we only get glimpses of the thing hunting them. And all through out the film they are remembering glimpses of the Foundation. The film ending with the predator somehow being stopped and the person remembering his task and restoring the Foundation's reality.

[@TheAmazingMrLizard]

I've read/listened to some pretty intense SCPs but this makes them all pale in comparison if you ask me... Even 3426 seems tame next to this. Excellent narration and production! My favorite so far!

[@Havlark]

The way this was written i thought this was subtly implying they were changing the actual scp wiki from wikidot to a standalone website or something. Would be a cool in universe way to make that transition.

[@vex-xiao]

Imagine being taht one member and shutting down the foundation one day, only to be hit by a car the next day and dying right then right there

[@ralynedin]

This sounds like it could be the central plot line of a game.

[@Mexican00b]

Dr. Bright(the obvious immortal survivor) when the SCP appears again: Oh boy, this is the 5th time already! im getting better at hide and seek!

[@zeliardforty-two4692]

In an organization build containing possibly hundreds of thousands of people, everything is left to one individual to dissolve then reassemble everything. That is just deep man. You could almost go into a trance listening to this and it’s wonderful

[@PratzStrike]

One thing that I think people don't notice about this version is that the perfect predator and the perfect hider are left alone in the same dead reality, and the perfect hider dies to continue the sanctity of the Foundation in a new reality. There is a version of the Department of One that continues on in the new reality, but they leave the other one behind for the perfect predator to eventually find. It doesn't really matter if they 'wake up', as long as they complete the protocol.

[@kefkaZZZ]

I would like to give a very special thank you to: The Volgun

[@svahn1]

This was one hell of an article to listen to as I'm going to bed. It kept me awake instead. I'm going to sleep now, but I guess I'll be woken momentarily anyways huh.

[@YoitsRose]

This has got to be the coolest scp yet. Amazing job!!

[@Dark_Jaguar]

This gave me this weird vision of the X-Files involving one or the other (Mulder or Scully) being the one tasked with returning the SCP foundation, in a world where no one is prepared for all the strange phenomenon they encounter. Also, whichever one it is, they have no clue, yet.

[@aurelioharp133]

With the day I've had this really hit me hard. Its sad but gives hope. Good job. Thanks for this.

[@aezula]

Volgun, what would I do without your channel? ❤
