Do you like light works of fabrication ? Do you care things that are effin ’ strange ? This may be the website for you .
Every now and then , you find a site that get going out as an entertaining deviation and chop-chop make out to vacuum up more and more of your free prison term . I ’ve foundthe SCP Foundationto be just such a site . It ’s a short - account wiki , a database of hundreds upon hundreds of bite - sized descriptions of goliath , immortals , objects of office , inexplicable phenomenon , and various and sundry “ rebelliousness of natural police . ”
There ’s the coffee vending political machine that dispenses a cup of whatever you ask for , even if it has to pass on out toother planetsto do so . There ’s the woman with a full national socialist German war trap somehow containedwithin her nozzle . There ’s the red stone that lets you take the air through mirror intoan abandoned humanity , as described in a genuinely unsettling series of accounts that I do not recommend take late at night . There ’s thezombie virus from outer space .
The central conceit of the SCP Foundation is that it ’s your basic shadowed multinational organization dedicated to the work and containment of all things paranormal . To that destruction , the stories take the form of case survey , incident report card , and inclination of precaution , written in a clinical , come off tone that ’s imposingly consistent . ( In realism , the “ Foundation ” seems to have begun life as a series of post on 4chan , though by now it ’s got a culture and register all its own . )
It would be gentle for a site like this to descend rapidly into grim , top - this humorlessness , but fortunately that ’s not the shell . A lot of the news report have a healthy sensory faculty of whimsy ( seeSCP-131 , the affectionate , catlike “ Eye Pods ” ) , and the Foundation researchers are ordinarily depict as a prankish , willy-nilly principled lot , in what might be a crafty scuttlebutt on the real - life bureaucrats who make the decisions that regulate our world .
A good place to part isthe Secure Facilities page , where you ’ll find abbreviated descriptions of the Sites and Task Forces at the Foundation ’s disposal . These are expertly write to rev the imaginativeness . ( Sample entry : “ Mobile Task Force Rho-5 , aka ‘ Stitch In Time ’ : Assigned to SCP-276 for the purpose of repairing temporal anomalies . Currently somewhere in the Victorian Period . ” ) After that , you are encouraged to dim intothe full index , picking up the web site vocabulary ( “ Euclid , ” “ Keter , ” “ O5 - cristal , ” “ [ REDACTED ] ” ) as you go .
