Its acting as an uno-reverse mirror. D-1055 shows no hostility to the SCP, so therefore it doesn't grow in hostile reaction. If anything, D-1055 viewing it as a "protective/warm blanket" instead of the pelt of an XK-class bear would be like putting water over a fire instead of gasoline.

Something something Memetic filter. Functionally the same information but with different details.

[@theshambler6814]

The Volgun is an SCP which nullifies info hazards at the cost of publicizing them autonomously. Since all containment measures undertaken the foundation have failed, the disinformation wing has been tasked with integrating the anomalous KZbin channels leaks into their propaganda efforts.

[@BuckBlaziken]

The article itself is protected with a memetic filter that gives you a good idea of what is stored, without giving away the important details which activates its anomalous properties. Almost all infohazardous articles are canonically presented with this filter on the foundation’s database.

[@michaelbaker1508]

Nah bro. Just don't look at the agents behind us.

[@KlaxontheImpailr]

Another thing to consider is that Mikey probably understands on some level how important his job is. He might actually feel proud by doing something to protect the world simply by being himself

[@alexanderchippel]

I don't think there's any real way for him to understand that. Like he's just a confused intellectually disabled man who was picked up by an evil government agency to be experimented on and then killed. And he just got lucky enough to have survived a keter containment breach bye grabbing onto the shredded remains of said keter like it was a security blanket because it's all he had.

[@mitchbaker5995]

I don't think he does if he thought he was protecting people then that would mean he understands that the bear is dangerous which would cause it to start to grow

[@jamesnorman9160]

I like those SCP's where the document is formatted in a way to convince you that the skip is something else entirely to fit with the general theme/story being told, and this is a good example, with the misdirection being essential for containing an infohazard like this. I like the tit-for-tat between the O5's at the end there, even if it ends on us learning there is a specific protocol for recruiting mentally-challenged D-class for Keter work. Lucky them I guess. Plus, it's another bear-like SCP. At least it's not the Build-a-Bear one. That one still gives me nightmares.

[@Lawsonomy1]

I imagine it's for Keter that effect the minds of staff, or for whom knowledge is a detriment or dangerous. Better then breaking down some D-classes mind with memetic and/or amnestics + surgery.

[@ela-811]

When written well, they always showcase exactly what the SCP foundation is. They're the secret illuminati who "die in the dark, so you can live in the light." And by necessity, they need to be experts in misdirection and info subterfuge.

[@HedgehogSpeedSonic]

Tbh, this would be a dream job for anyone capable of handling this hyper-aggressive-XK-Class-Bio-Bear SCP; they get to hug this fluffy, warm, bugsy, and get pampered with the full resources of the SCP Foundation catering to them. D-1055 could be living like royalty, but is suffice with chicken tendies and a warm blanky.

[@MangetsuSAMURAI]

I always liked this one. Not entirely sure why, but there's just something about holding back the end of the world with the innocence of a child (or, in this case, a child-like adult) that's fascinating to me.

[@deathhog]

It puts a nice spin on things. Unlike the stag, its not a world ending force of nature in of itself. It doesn't require ritual sacrifice. It doesn't require inhuman acts. It is almost Euclid, being able to be kept in a box pretty easy. And now it is a lovely example of why the foundation's focus on containment, not destruction, is usually the correct way forward.

It may be cold and cruel, but an orbital intombment is probably the best solution. By indications, the bear can die, we just tend to make it grow too fast by becoming aware of it with hostile intent. Have Mikey go on a 'fun space ride', keep him happy and taking Bugsy with him. He goes up on the spaceship into a space station that's designed specifically for the two of them. Then the O5 council hits the button that nobody else in the project is told about that vents 100% of the air in the space station as fast as possible. Zero new people are aware of the bear's nature, and the bear doesn't get to grow because there's nobody other than Mikey around for at least 100km. For additional safety, have the button also trigger a battery of solid state rockets designed to push the station out of Earth orbit and into intersolar space, to eliminate any chance of unforeseen consequences. Mikey is sacrificed, but we eliminate an XK-class scenario threat. If need be, give Mikey a collar that detonates when the 'vent the air' button is pressed so there's no asphyxiation, just a quick boom.

[@dpssaboteur3799]

Fucking genius dude

[@bugjams]

"Launch it into space" is often the best solution for most SCPs, but it's sort of lazy writing, hence why writers usually avoid it.

[@tdotitan8855]

what if bugsy actually doesnt need to breathe/ only goes into a state of hybernation? probably not but it could definitely get worse . If it goes into interstellar space that is decent but if it doesnt and comes crashing down to earth well things could go very bad. definitely could work as a last scenario but probably not optimal

[@johnjohnjohnson7720]

[@miserylovesyou7540]

heartless, but effective. however, as someone else pointed out, a lot of SCP's could be "contained" by just hucking them into space; which, if u believe certain 001 proposals that place SCP's as originating from space, its kind of funny to imagine. eldritch gods from galaxies away send keter-class SCP's to attack the earth and we're just like "no thx bro" and throw it back at them. either way, this is a pretty cool and elaborate way to resolve this SCP. well thought out!

People often speculate about what kind of payload is launched on confidential government missions.

[@stewy497]

There's a tendency among more dramatic SCPs to focus on the isolated properties of the anomaly itself, rather than how those properties inform its containment. What results may be a perfectly adequate or even exemplary piece of fiction, but one that exists in spite of the Foundation's premise rather than because of it. This SCP _doesn't_ do that. Bravo.

[@SHOVELBONES]

so here's a thought: if the general overall, nonspecific consensus is still that D-class are recruited from death row and the like... how did Mikey end up there? and if they were "recruiting" the mentally challenged as D-class before deciding on this "method of containment," where are they getting these people? sometimes it's the simplest entries that highlight the, uhh, morally grey areas of the Foundation.

The thing about this SCP is that theoretically, to stop the necessary execution of 80% of the knowing population that are important, they could expose the document to 100s or 1000s of D-class or maximum security prisoner personnel before sustaining a similar bombardment on the facility.

A lot of folks may dislike softer terms or "person-first language" when the disability is a part of their identity.

Does the scp foundation just forget that the Sun is there? Pretty sure it eats XK scenarios for breakfast

As someone who's on the autism spectrum, I always find myself prickling a bit at fictional depictions of autistic people -- with how much work I personally have had to do to push back against misconceptions about the diagnosis (in particular ones caused by pop-culture portrayals), I suppose I worry about a flawed portrayal giving even _more_ people the wrong ideas about autism. Call it a real-life cognitohazard, I guess. At least the SCP Foundation material, well-written as it can be, is a niche enough topic of interest that _that_ particular cognitohazard is more or less contained.

[@kyetes.866]

Yeah the SCP articles, especially older ones, tend to not be great about autism or disability. At *best* it feels gimmicky/tropey and said characters are two-dimensional. For context though this one was written about 12 years ago. Writing quality aside, the in-universe ethics of the Foundation have changed a lot.

[@Nitrinoxus]

@kyetes.866 I'd certainly _hope_ the Foundation doesn't still use mentally-disabled D-class personnel as quasi-consensual cannon fodder. They've got _plenty_ of ethical issues in the entire D-class setup to begin with, without roping in people who can't comprehend what they're being asked to do. To be clear, I have no problems with SCP articles addressing neurodiversity and mental illness -- I'd honestly _applaud_ ASD representation that's done _properly_ -- but that's really the key: the only way to really do such a portrayal justice is to use first-hand experiences of what it's like to live with that sort of mind, rather than just watching _Rain Man_ with a notepad to hand. Most of the contributors didn't want to put in that amount of work, and I feel like the majority _still_ don't.

@@kyetes.866 This one didn't exactly go into enough detail about him to be considered a good or bad portrayal. There are plenty of worse depictions out there.

[@poofetus1407]

Agreed! Maybe some creative liberty could be taken to change the language in this story for instance not saying "suffers from autism". We don't need to be reiterating these gross depictions just because it was in the original story. It's 2024 I think creators can take a second to consider a retelling that isn't harmful.

[@Nitrinoxus]

@poofetus1407 "Diagnosed with" would be preferable to "suffers from", as a general rule. Implying that neurodivergence is a source of suffering suggests that any deviation from a so-called 'normal' is inherently wrong and must be corrected or suppressed -- but frankly, I've seen enough of how 'normal' people behave to question their judgment on the matter.

You're easily the best at doing these scp readying..and look forward to them every week... I especially love the longer ones....I live on the bottom off the earth and don't make much compared to the west but if I start making more cash I'll totally join your patron ...

[@malwholt]

man, this thing sounds dangerous. i sure hope nobody ever finds out abou

[@owenparris7490]

This one hit me hard because I have a brother with Down Syndrome. I think the Foundation are ultimately the "good guys," but damn, the f*cked up stuff they have to do to save the world...

[@oddbunchyeet28]

I mean it seems in some way there aware of whats going on. I mean of all the things the foundation has done, using someone who is disabled in someway, for something a disabled person can only do that doesn't get them killed is, pretty good actually. Like that's kinda cool.

[@Cortanis001]

Placing it in an orbital containment only means that someone has the potential to accidentally encounter it some time in the future. Sinking it into the ocean might limit the potential for it to be found given how much harder it is to explore and map the ocean but the same problem still exists. My money would be on the ocean since it's at least visually much more limiting and response to the situation is likely faster.

[@kingandros4819]

I have no idea why, but bears strike a visceral chord in my fears lol. Theyre just soooo unsettling to look at especially in relation to their size. This briefing slaps. Sir.

[@starless_void]

Reading "...we are already recruiting plenty of mentally challenged individuals for keter work.", would be worrying if I didn't already know the Foundation. And I don't know which part of that is more harrowing.

[@oddbunchyeet28]

I mean at least they work on "Bugsy" its not like there d class being thrown into a grinder, they can actually keep things under control, Mikey also seems somewhat aware of his role.

[@bugjams]

Right lmao? Out of context that line is hilarious. The world would be screwed!

[@MikeWToast]

It might be a good idea to just take poor Mikey and tell him he’s going to space, pack him into a space capsule and just *yeet* it as far from Earth as possible.
