Here goes nothing.
Is this finished? If it is, you should add a name and announce it in the announcement thread.
I like the concept, but it would be nice to see the extent to which 1467's condition can affect others described more clearly. Does the recordings in which he describes himself fade out too? With the wife and children, was the intent that they were erased (postmortem) because they were a part of his life, or because they contracted similar condition? If the former, have it affected anyone else? If we put a D-Class in a cell with 1467 to socialize, then separate them, will D-Class fade out?
Also, is there a reason for administering amnesiacs to 1467 after tests? Because I don't see any.
Wording is fonky in some places, too. And formating of the experiments. 10m:12s should be changed to just 10:12, I think, or to "10 minutes after the start of experiment", with seconds dropped. And there is an established formating for things like interviews and audio transcriptions, using wikidot citation syntax ( "> " in the begining of the line, with space, without quotes; colon after D's designations).
Added a name. Made an announcment. (Made a new thread so yeah, *facepalm*) and am currently working on formating. The weird wording I'm not sure what to do about. English ain't my first language, As for the extra stuff, I'll see what I can do.
Edit: I added three more experiment logs. Uncertain on whether it adds anything or whether it makes the article unwieldy. Might remove them later but figured I'd give them a try.
This has been known to affect objects and personnel in SCP-1467 immediate vicinity.
Currently the Foundation have found no records of subjects stated wife, children, house, car or extended family ever having existed.
I would think that they'd be worried that this might eventually effect the Site it's housed at. If an entire Site was retroactively erased from existence, including all the SCPs it housed and all of the staff working there, it might cause containment breaches at other sites. Or severely screw up the fabric of reality. Or something.
ARGH!
SCP-1467 should be contained in a padded cell with no less than three (3) audio recording devices installed in the walls.
Containment procedures aren't suggestions. "IS to be" not "SHOULD BE"
Batteries are to be changed weekly.
You've permanently mounted them on walls and you're relying on batteries?
SCP-1467 should always be referred to in person as 'Mr Smith', as referring to it by any other means throws it into a panic/rage state.
Actually, how about "If it not refereed to by it's preferred name, it will begin its fade process."
40 minutes? Does it no longer sleep?
I'll respond to each point.
- Seems a minor detail. I can find several SCP using should be on a trivial(10 second) search trough. If it becomes a thing and more people mention it, or if it's just plain bad English I'll change it, otherwise it can stay.
- Yes. Drawing lines of electricity seems like a bother when you can just screw in a few recorders into the wall and call it a day. It's not like putting in a few AA's each week is a horrid strain on resources.
- The audio recording devices are there for a reason. Consider how they bring him back during the experiments and the description of his habits. Maybe I should spell it out clearer.
- Okay, fair enough. But I will change the world! Oh, yes! Just you wait…
- The recorders being battery powered is a temporary patch, not meant for long term.
- WHY they are there becomes obvious as the article is read, and I have not objections. It just seems that like a better reason to address him by name as (non-canon, etc.) the Foundation doesn't care about addressing SCPs by name unless they tend to kill reseachers (Able, I'm looking at you!)
And he no longer sleeps? Seriously, he couldn't speak for 40 minutes and he was almost gone?
Um… I quote: "…and keeping recordings of its voice going while sleeping…"
I am really confused why this is unclear. He keeps a recording of his voice going while sleeping. Seriously, why is this unclear?
Ah missed that part in the single massive paragraph.
SCP-1467 should be contained in a padded cell with no less than three (3) audio recording devices installed in the walls. Batteries are to be changed weekly.
…is where my confusion started, and stuck around.
Aha. I tried to clarify it. (Only added a sentence, so as to not mess up any grammar fixes to much.) As for the is to be, I'll try to keep it in mind if I write another SCP ^_^
