SCP Foundation

Hope you all enjoy! Big thanks to Tretter and MrWrong for critque and advice, and also thanks to FortuneFavorsBold for writing SCP-2000, which wound up becoming an important MacGuffin for this piece. Caldmann and Rzewski also deserve credit for their excellent Hume articles. 3480 (as well as the 480 hours during the Class Five's White event) was chosen in reference to the battle of Thermopylae, which took place in 480 BC.

Upon commencement of White event, Area 13 XACTS is to be used to temporally isolate Mt. ███████ from surrounding reality in order to reduce likelihood of CK class Reality Restructuring Scenario.

censoring Olympus here is a bit nonsensical since it's already mentioned several times in both the Containment Procedure and the article itself

aprroximately 1^-██ Humes on the Caldmann-Rzewski Hume scale.

spelling error on "approximately", and no mater how many times you divided or multiplied it with itself, one is always one, so you might be looking for 10^-██ instead

If you ended the article on that interview, it might have some impact when one realises that it is SCP-2000. Maybe how that ended up in Mount Olympus might not be immediately clear.

The Level 5 document does not really add much, since the interview handled the reveal better. The Greek myth reference can hold more water if the instances generated have stronger parallels to Greek mythology. Currently, they seem to be humans of varying unusual traits that can bend reality.

Perhaps the main point in the Level 5 version is to state that they are using reality benders to fight the instances off. I understand you have thematic reasons for it, but the development of the story here still did not convince me that reality benders are needed.

I wanted to like this. I really really did.

Unfortunately, it hit a little too "on the nose" for me, especially regarding the idea that this is where greek mythology comes from.

I'm not a very big fan of SCPs which "explain" parts of history, as they tend to be kind of flat, and one dimensional.

The final interview would have had some great impact, if it had been the crux of the article, but it felt like an afterthought.

Slow. Clap.

If I had to change anything, I'd do away with the unaltered document. It doesn't add a ton, except serving as a shovel through which to dig out the last of the lede. A little ambiguity there would have been better than laying bare.

Ohhhh, I see.

The reason why some the reality benders are malicious is because they are D-Class, which, in my eyes, hate the foundation or fear it.

Made a major edit to trim the fat and improve the narrative flow of the article.

I like the fact that the Foundation REALLY does not like doing this.

Added an Omega-12 logo made by the amazing SunnyClockwork. Thanks Sunny!

+1.

I'm always a sucker for anomalies being used to contain anomalies - desperate measures, unlikely alliances, that sort of thing. And in this case it actually makes sense because they're Foundation agents. Also, good foreshadowing - you had me going from 'One site with mass SRAs? Is this a throwaway reference to 2000?' to 'Wait, this is 2000!'

One last thing.

It is thus theorized that SCP-3480 acts as hole through which local reality is drawn.
