This is a pretty good article all around. Especially that picture, which is REALLY good. +1!

This is as close to the Gas Is Killing Nature motif as you can get while still getting an upvote from me. And Roget is right, the picture is great.
It's a shame the Foundation just hogs all this stuff. Stick one of these in a big fat pile of biowaste and keep feeding it and you are in alternate energy heaven.
Sadly, sooner or later, an oil executive (with maybe a MC&D membership) is eventually going to be a big enough pain in the ass about it. Be it through attempted acquisition, takeover, or outright destruction.
I have been wanting more SCPs to show how greedy the foundation is, attempting to harness them. Like this. Say, 173's fecal waste.
I don't even… What ?
Why in the hell would you harness fecal waste?
And the foundation doesn't DO that because if something about a skip changes (and it's happened before) and if that change just… Fucks everything up, then they have to fix it AND replace the resources they're not gaining.
Now in this instance, I could see harvesting gas. Couldn't be TOO risky. But there are people try to put these things everywhere. So that adds to the potential for malicious side effects.
Why in the hell would you harness fecal waste?
Well, how would you propose we ride it, then, if it doesn't have a harness?
Yes, which makes it all the more terrible, and terrible is usually good in SCP articles, IMHO. Also, what *else* are you doing with the waste from 173's room?
I'd almost upvote just for the picture. The rest of it was pretty good, too.
(I suck at useful reviews).
You made a gas pump both interesting and seriously dangerous if it's in the wrong areas. I like the idea, and I think keeping 3 still installed leaves a lot of "what if" potential.
my expression through most of the article: Hmmm :|
my expression at the end of the addendum: O_O
So not only are these things anomalous, but there's someone (or, more likely, some group) out there trying to not only spread them, but REPLACE THEIR LOSSES at great cost… And not even the Foundation has a clue to who they could be. Wow that sent a chill up my spine.
Feels like that movie "The Arrival" in reverse or maybe something more tawdry like a sci-fi real estate scheme to devalue land. Regardless, the setup is interesting.
Very nice. Probably didn't need to be as wordy as it is, but your style is smooth enough that you get away with it clean. +1'ed. (Plus, yeah, nice choice of image.)
If you constantly "reseeded" the soil around the pump with organic matter, would the pump be able to continue producing gas indefinitely without causing damage to the local ecosystem? Seems to me like a potentially infinite supply of cheap gas for the Foundation as long as they keep the pumps fed.
Very interesting point. I don't know about infinite and cheap, but you suggest a scheme to turn regular organic material into fossil fuel. That's renewable gasoline.
